There was a frenzy in the biggest bar in town A. The spectators cheered in support of the two fighters who were fighting forces in the ring.
"Huu... Come awake!! Hit him!!" the audience shouted.
One of the players who fell down tried to get up and retaliate against the opponent's attack. But it had not yet happened, his opponent first threw a punch repeatedly to make the person fall and unconscious.
"YEY.. HUU...I WON!!!" the cheers of a girl sounded so loud amidst the disappointment of the other spectators as the player he held won the fight.
Alice Eleanor is a beautiful 20-year-old girl who lives a long life. His parents died in an accident when he was 15 years old. Since then, she has been taken care of by her grandmother. But unfortunately, two years later, Grandma Alice died of her illness.
Since then, Alice has been living alone and working her bones to make ends meet. She works as a waitress in a cafe with a small income. But even so, he never complained.
He also had a friend named Samuel. The man always protected Alice and helped her when she was in trouble. Even Sam helped her find additional work.
When he came home from work, he accidentally saw an ad on an outdoor Videotron attached to a store. He saw an advertisement about the opening of the world cup to be held at the Al Bayt stadium in Qatar.
Alice paused for a moment. He is curious about the artist who will be performing in the opening of the world cup in Qatar.
Until a photo is displayed on the screen with the words "First Solo Stage 2022 World Cup Stage". Alice widened her eyes. He ran over because the idol was the one who was going to perform on the show.
It made him want to witness the event in person, until Sam told him if there was a big bet on where the man worked. A self-esteem bet, where two men are ready to fight in the ring.
Alice risked all her money and held the small man. Sam who was then beside Alice tried to convince the girl to place her bet on the burly man. But Alice Keukeh was holding the skinny man.
And who would have thought, the skinny guy won the fight and it made Alice win the bet without being drawn because he was the only one who bet on the little guy.
"Wow.. You're terrific. I didn't think your choice was right." - Samuel
"Eat him, don't underestimate Alice's instincts. Now, let's go get the money!!" Alice pulls Samuel to meet the committee to take the money from the bet.
"You're lucky little girl. Nobody put up that skinny guy but you. And you can enjoy the money immediately." exclaimed the committee
"Thank you, sir."
"There are 150 million in total. You can count it first."
"No need, thank you. I'm gonna go straight home and sleep hugging these money."
Sam laughs. He ruffled Alice's hair in anxiety. "Come, I'll drive you home!!" take Samuel
"You're not working?"
"I'm free today. So you can hire me as much. You also have a lot of money, right. So, I'm asking for tips for tonight's ministry." exclaimed Samuel
"Alright, since I'm being kind, I'll treat you."
Alice invites Sam to dinner at a fancy restaurant they have never been to. They ordered a special menu at the restaurant.
"So, what are you gonna do with that money?" ask Sam
"I'll use it to fly to Qatar. You know, I really wanted to meet Jungkook. And this is a golden opportunity for me." Alice had booked a plane ticket online. So after this he will be prepared because in two days he will leave. And for his work, he will take a week off to enjoy his holiday in Qatar.
"Sorry I can't keep you company. I can't leave my job." Samuel regretted
"No problem. I can do it myself. I'll be fine there." Alice is a smart girl. He mastered three languages at once because since childhood, he has been honed by both parents. So he would have no difficulty in communicating with outsiders.
...****************...
Time goes by so fast. Finally the time came for Alice to travel to Qatar to be able to watch the idol's appearance.
Alice is on standby at Soekarno-Hatta airport. He hugged his best friend Sam and said goodbye.
"I'll be there long. So don't miss me." exclaimed Alice
"Sad.. You're too confident. Who's gonna miss an ugly girl like you."
Alice widened her eyes and slapped Sam on the shoulder. "I'm not ugly. Just look, I'm gonna get a handsome guy in there."
"Yes, I believe you can do it. But in a dream." Sam laughed loudly and ruffled Alice's hair pursing her lips.
"You're a real bitch, Sam. Yes, I'm leaving first." cried Alice
"Be careful!! And don't forget to call me."
Alice nodded slowly. He waved his hand and started leaving Sam.
"I'm definitely gonna miss you, Alice. Miss you so much." - Sam
...****************...
After traveling -+ 9 hours, Alice finally arrived at Hamad International Airport. Alice is looking for a cheap accommodation and close to Al Bayt Stadium, where the opening of the 2022 world cup will be held.
Alice stayed at the Spacious Inn in Al Khawr. He plans to stay two nights. In addition to her fairly expensive costs, she also had to save money because she would travel briefly after the opening concert of the world cup was in the title.
"Ah.. I finally got to this point. There are still a few hours to go before the show starts. So I better rest a little." Alice set an alarm on her phone and closed her eyes for a moment. He's going to see the idol, so he has to be perfect tonight.
Time continued to run, the ringing alarm from Alice's phone sounded so loud that the girl who was still asleep in the dream was disturbed. He fumbled his phone on the nightstand and saw it was 7 p.m. In two hours, the show will start.
Alice immediately prepared. He did not want to be late to see the idol.
"Perfect" he said in front of the mirror. She rubs a little make up and breaks down her long hair.
"It's time to see my idol." Alice exited the inn and walked to the Al Bayt stadium.
Close enough to the stadium, Alice chose to walk. He passed through a deserted alley because people were already flocking to the same event.
"May I not be late." Alice sped up her steps, but from the front, a man ran towards her and pulled her to hide.
Alice was shocked. He wanted to scream, but the man smothered him by the hand.

"Ish.." the man sizzled with pain in his shoulder
"Damn!! Where's the guy?"
"We better split up."
"Good."

There were footsteps of those people who were getting away. The man heaved a sigh of relief and took off his clot. He slumped to the ground and set his breath panting from running from the pursuit of unknown people.
Alice was still frozen. He raised his sticky hand, and it turned out that there was blood there.

Alice looked at the grimacing man in front of her holding her injured shoulder.
"Pardon me, I accidentally pressed your wound" Alice exclaimed
The man stared unblinkingly at the woman in front of him. He was sure that the woman was not a native here. Seen from the shape of her face, it looks like this woman comes from southeast Asia.
"A_ayo!! I'll take you to the hospital." take Alice
"No!! Don't go to the hospital. They will definitely look for me there." exclaimed the man
"Then what should I do?" Alice was biting the end of her nails. He thought of a way to help the foreign man in front of him. He didn't want to take her to the inn.
"Let's go to my inn!! It's not far from here." Alice helped the man stand up and swept him into the inn.
During the journey, the man was unceasingly staring at the beautiful face of the woman who was helping him. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. There was a strange vibration flowing within him while he was near the woman.
"What's wrong with me?" the man's inner
Now they arrive at the inn. There was no one there, except the guards. Alice took the man to her room and treated his wounds.
"Sorry to trouble you, miss." exclaimed the man
"It's okay, sir. But why are you being chased by those people, sir.....
"Alexes. Just call me, Alex. And if you can tell, what's your name?"
"My name is Alice Eleanor. You can call me Alice."
"Alice!! What a good name. But it doesn't look like you're real here."
"I am a native of Indonesia. I came here because I wanted to see.....
Alice's words were held back. He saw the clock on his phone. And damn it's 11 p.m. The concert must be over.
Alice let out a heavy sigh and put her phone back on.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" ask Alex
"none. Now you better rest. Tomorrow I'll take you home." cried Alice
"Thank you again, Alice" Alex said
"Together." Alice helps Alex lie down and pulls the blanket over the man. Alice laid her body on the sofa. And it didn't take long, Alice was already asleep wading through the dreamland.
Alex, who had not slept in the first place, opened his eyes and contacted someone. He glanced at the peaceful face of the woman who helped him and there was a sweet smile on his lips.
"Alice Eleanor."
...****************...
The next day, as Alice promised, she drove Alex in a taxi. He asked for Alex's address and asked the driver to drive him to the address the man mentioned.
The taxi they were riding stopped right in front of the Gang. Alex got out of the taxi and thanked Alice for helping him.
"Thank you again, Alice. Tomorrow I will repay all your kindness for helping me." Alex exclaimed
"no need. I sincerely help you. But, you sure you don't want me to drive you home?"
"no need. I can do it myself.
"All right then. See you soon."
"See you." Alex waved at Alice who was getting away. And before long, a Rolls-Royce car was perfectly parked in front of Alex.
A man got out of the car and opened the door for Alex. "Please, Sir."
Without saying anything, Alex got into the car. The man, Alex's assistant, closes the car door and gets behind the wheel.
"We're going to the Mansion." Alex exclaimed
"Good sir."
