The clock has shown twelve o'clock at night. However, the more time passed, the more young people came to the streets. Women and men all gathered in one place. They all came with the same goal, which is to watch the race that will be held tonight.
Well, it doesn't seem like everyone comes here to watch the race. One of them was in front of him. The girl in front of him was so that he immediately went to where the street vendors were selling. Bara massaged his forehead which felt dizzy because of the behavior of Alesya who was getting here more and more there.
"The ant! There are satay, batagor, siomay, seblak and even meatballs too? Wah emang well the people of Indonesia pinter nyari opportunity.Langit Biantara"
Bara stared flatly at Alesya who was amazed. He wondered what exactly was the contents of Alesya's head until he behaved like this.
"Why do you want to come? Ngerepotin tau not," Kinda. Confused why suddenly Alesya forced her to come, even threatening to report to her father if not invited.
Alesya glanced at him, and looked back at the rows of carts in front of him. "Well, I want to, really stingy," he said.
Bara breathed a tired breath, he massaged his roasted nose. "It's up to you" said Bara, turning to leave Alesya with his own world.
But only two steps, Bara stopped. He looked back and found Alesya pulling the end of his jacket. Bara frowned, "What else?"
"Pinjem money," Alesya made a hand gesture asking, "Gue wants to snack, but forgot to bring a wallet," he said with a grin at the end.
"God!" Grunts, staring in disbelief at Alesya. Bara reached into the pocket of his jacket, he gave his wallet to Alesya and waltzed away just like that, ignoring the dumbfounded Alesya.
"Well! Arigatou gozaimasu Bara-sensei!" Alesya exclaimed and bowed 90 degrees.
Bara smiled faintly upon hearing Alesya's exclamation. Without turning around, he knew what kind of look Alesya was putting on. He could clearly imagine the wide smile he put on.
After a while of walking, Bara arrived at his destination. The Shadow gang children waved at him and he replied with a wave as well.
"Yo bro" Sapa Arya.
The two of them did a fistfight as a greeting that he also did to the others.
"Newly so? Where are the others?" Ask Bara who didn't see some members.
"The sky hasn't come yet and Rey-"
"Round around" Anton said without distracting himself from the phone.
Arya glanced at Anton then nodded. No problem Anton cut his words. No problem either. Besides, they can't make a mess right now because tonight is so important.
"Not arrived?" Bara murmured.His tongue hardened. How Heaven has not come at such an important moment.
Arya who heard Bara's murmur could only smile wryly. He patted the shoulder of the burly man, intending to calm him down. He understood, no, all the Shadow members here understood how important this race was to Bara.
Even Anton was silent today. Including himself. If this was just a regular race he would go around looking for other school girls. Yet he now had to be calm and level-headed for his group to replace the Heaven that had yet to come. Even Rey.
A few minutes later, a black motor approached them. Bara's gaze sharpened as the bike stopped and the owner of the bike went down and opened his helmet. Featuring the leader of the Shadow Gang, Sky Biantara. "Old."
The sky that was greeting the other members stopped its activities upon hearing Bara's words that were fixed on him. "Gue pick Viana up." He said, continuing his stalled activities.
Bara smiled obliquely, he put both his hands into his pants pocket. "Heh, girl again, "His lips.
The sky stopped what he was doing. He glanced at Bara who was staring at him and sat in the garden chair, right next to Anton who was also sitting. The place they race is right next to the park area. But this place both during the day and night is always quiet because it is far from the city center. "Not him too?"
"Too I'm reasonable."
The Eye of Bara watches every movement of the Sky. He stared intently at the sky that snorted amusedly, then took out a cigarette and burned the tip. Smoke formed as soon as he exhaled. Seeing the behavior of the Sky triggered the anger of Bara. His sharp gaze was getting sharper. As if ready to finish off the man who was only a few steps away from him.
"So morning I heard you in Alesya, what do you want?"
The previously relaxed expression of Heaven turned serious the moment the question was asked. Inviting question marks in the minds of everyone, including Bara who is being stared at by the Sky waiting for an answer.
"What does this have to do with you?" Hiss Bara, stared intently at the Sky and retorted to the Sky with a cold gaze.
"It's just relax dong bro, don't rent it. The sky is just it." Arya embraces Bara's shoulder. Trying to defuse the anger of one of them. Somehow he felt the nature of Anton and Bara was being changed tonight.
"Tremendous," Chirps Anton, inviting gazes from all the others. "WHAT CLAY-WHEEL!!" Anton's murmur, staring intently at the people staring at him.
"SILENCE!"
Okay Arya retracted her words. He breathed a sigh of rage. He glared at Anton for adding gasoline to the blazing fire. Anton who got that look immediately shrieked. Also the two people who were looking at each other also stopped and turned their faces.
All of them who were watching quietly breathed a sigh of relief as the tense atmosphere earlier finally quite reduced.
...◖◇◗...
In contrast to the tense atmosphere in the Shadow gang, Alesya is now enjoying meatballs casually while hearing the curhatan mas bakso.
"....yah want how else, if not like gini same child my wife would eat what? It's not that we don't want to obey, follow the rules of the government. But circumstances forced us all. Actually, we don't want to believe this." Meatballs.
Alesya who had been listening since then nodded in understanding. He now slightly understood why the man always tried even though he had been dropped many times.
Sometimes the need to survive makes us ignore everything. Whether it is the law, even yourself. Survive by simply holding on to the hope that the future will be better. The hope that after all these difficulties, it will definitely pay off later on.
Alesya thrust a fork at the small meatball and chewed it. Not knowing why his meaty taste suddenly felt bland in his mouth. Is it because of her mixed feelings?
"short? Lo...kok is here?"
Alesya's hand that was piercing the meatball stopped. He closed his eyes. He wondered if he was cursed until he had to keep meeting this shitty man? And what the fuck with his words that were as if Alesya should not be here. Can't he be here?
Exhaling a coarse breath, Alesya chose to ignore it alone. He just wanted to enjoy the evening with his dearest meal. Alesya again ate the meatball, completely ignoring Alan's existence.
Yet how would he ignore it if the person in question stood beside him and continued to stare at him. For whatever sake, Alesya was feeling very uneasy.
"Gue knows I'm beautiful, very even. But can't you go to that?"
Instead of answering, Alan turned around and ordered meatballs. Alesya breathed a sigh of relief as the bully left but it was only for a moment. Because Alan was back again and that left him inexhaustible as to why he was sitting next to him instead. There are still plenty of empty seats. What the hell is on his mind.
"Why are you here?"
Alesya's forehead snatches away. He spontaneously turned his head to the side as the same question came back. Her net was in contact with Netra Alan who was also staring at her.
If in teen fiction novels, these events will lead to romantic things. Alesya would feel happy if that happened, but if it was with other men and open this man before her. "Why? Can't be huh! This is father lo's land, until you call-"
"real."
Surprised, astonished, confused, the shock was all fused together like ice mixed in when Alan suddenly touched Alesya's forehead with his index finger. Alesya who was still in a daze stared alternately between her hands and the owner. Alesya's reflexes brushed off that hand. As a natural response of self-protection, Alesya quickly stood up and moved away from Alan.
"Really what is it, huh? ! I guess what ghost I am! Basic pervert. Mode!" Alesya Grouse.
He doesn't accept. Twice, twice he was harassed by her! - even though he was not. Alesya hugged her body as Alan looked at her and then returned to the meatballs that were in the message earlier. Eating it like nothing happened. 'Sinting.'
"Cangcimen!, cangcimen!, cangci-Loh Alesya?"
Alesya who felt her name being called turned her head and was immediately dumbfounded by what she saw. He stared from head to toe with a look of disbelief.
"Rey?"
Rey Alexander, the first Executive member of Shadow who is one of the most respected gangs, is now in front of her. It is in stark contrast to the clothes, shoes and branded jackets he wears. Rey is currently holding a box containing various types of snacks placed in front of her chest, typical of hawkers.
"Want to buy?"
