"Cats, Zi!" Marko screamed on his phone, but his phone connection was cut off.

"What's up, sir?" Ask Anita

"Gue's worried Zia's the same Johan accident, An." Marko replied, He paused his intention to return to his room.

Marko's hands are still busy with his phone, he tries to contact Zia but the connection is switched. Johan's phone was connected but not picked up.

Marko went to his friend's room to borrow a car. After he got the car keys, he went to the basement looking for his friend's car.

"Sir, let me come." Anita said when Marko had found his friend's car.

"Sir, An. You wait here just maybe someone called the hotel because of the car they use the hotel car." Marko got into the car and left the basement.

It was dark, in the middle of the journey the rain began to fall. Marko did not reduce the speed of the car he was driving.

He headed towards the outside of Jogjakarta where Zia last preached him. Not up to thirty minutes drive, the streets began to jam while the opposite direction was very slow. Marko's feelings have started to go awry.

Slowly the vehicle began to propagate.from far away Marko saw several two-wheeled vehicles and four wheels were lying in the middle of the road with some vehicles already removed.

Marko's feelings grew increasingly confused to see some cars that looked badly damaged, what about the victims.

Marko gasped when the path began to stretch, he looked for a place to turn around and he had to be patient again amid the traffic jam. It feels like stopping his car and just running to the place of the accident, but he cannot be selfish.

After being patient, Marko finally pulled his car over. Just parked his car and walked up to the accident spot. Many police and residents helped evacuate the victims.

There were four cars there, Marko tried to find out the car that had the sticker of the hotel where he was staying, because he did not know what kind of car Johan and Zia were driving.

The rain was getting heavier, making Marko pull over and ask the state of the victim to the police there.

"Sir, where are the accident victims?" Ask Marko.

"The victim died and the heavy wound was taken to the hospital, while the minor one was in there." Police pointed to a house.

Marko hastily looks inside the residents' house, hoping Zia and Johan are among the lightly wounded.

One by one he looked at them, but none of them knew him.

"Den Marko."

Marko recognized the voice and immediately looked back. Johan stood wet with a shirt stained with blood.

"Lo, what's wrong, Han?" Marko's worried.

"Nothing Den, don't worry about me."

"Where's zia? He's okay, right?"

"That was taking a hape in the car to ngabarin Den Marko said."

Not wasting time, Marko went out of the house to the place where some cars were lying on the side of the road to look for Zia's whereabouts.

One by one the car he noticed to look for the whereabouts of Zia. Until he got to the car he was driving earlier, he still did not find Zia. Finally, he decided to pass on the left side of the car.

He could see someone bending over, half his body in the car. Marko ran up to the man.

"Zia!"

Hearing his name being called, he looked back.

"Mr Marko!?"

He sees Marko soaking wet, Zia takes his jacket from the car and on her tiptoes he covers Marko's head and shoulders with his jacket.

"Why are you here?" Ask Zia.

"Once again, I'm just worried because someone broke off the phone with a weird shout."

Marko looked at Zia and made Zia quite uncomfortable. He pulled his hand from the jacket he had hung on Marko's head and slowly distanced himself from Marko.

But Marko's hand quickly slipped on Zia's waist and pulled her until Zia's body touched her.

"Master?" Zia pressed both of Marko's chests making a pause between them. "Please don't be like this, I'm not comfortable talking too close to you."

Marko was still staring at Zia sharply. "Why can you make me worry about this to you?" ask Marko.

Zia was surprised by Marko's question. He tried to withdraw and encouraged Marko to let him go.

"Zi?"

"Yes sir?"

"Do I like it?"

As soon as Zia fell silent to Marko's question, she no longer rebelled. His body felt stiff and hard to move.

Marko rubbed Zia's hair wet in the rain. Slowly her left index finger moved to her forehead and down Zia's nose. Marko's thumb rubbed gently on Zia's lips that were wet from the rain.

Zia closed her eyes, clenched her lips tightly and gripped the chest of Marko's shirt. He could not move the rest of his body even though he really wanted to run away from Marko.

Zia slowly adjusted her breathing so that her heart rhythm would not hunt. Then slowly he opened his eyes. Marko took his hand off his waist.

"Lo again deg-degan?" Marko touched the top of Zia's chest.

THE PLAQUE!

Zia's reflexes slapped Marko, and Zia was surprised that she had done so to Marko.

"I'm sorry sir. But why did you do it!" Zia was regretful as well as angry

Marko was still syock with Zia's slap, He was still holding onto his hot left cheek from Zia's slap. "Gue just wants a mastiin heart condition lo doang, Zi. No thoughts anywhere." Marko said still with his shocked expression.

Zia simply put on a face between anger and feeling guilty.

"Let's go back, Lo come with my car. Let Johan take this car." Marko pulled Zia's hand.

"Wait for Mister, I'll take the bag first." Zia said, He opened the back door and picked up his bag. "Please wait in your car, I'll return the car keys to Johan."

"Sedan white back alone." Marko told me the car he was driving.

"Yes, sir."

Zia and Marko went in different directions. Zia went to return the car keys to Johan.

"We're back now, Han. Mr. Marko is not sure to go home." Bring Zia.

"OKAY. We say goodbye to the old people, Zi" Johan said.

Zia and Johan go on a goodbye with some of the accident victims, Residents and police who are still in place.

"Han, I'm in Mr. Marko's car, right?" Said Zia when she reached the front of the car she was riding with Johan earlier.

"I'm alone, Zi?" Johan.

"Yes, if I want you to say the same to Mr. Marko." Zia made an offer. "Udah Yes, be careful Han. It's dark, it's raining." Zia said then went to Marko's car.

He opened the front door of the car but hesitated to enter.

"Why?" Ask Marko.

"My clothes are wet sir, is that okay?" Ask Zia

"Gue's wet too, just come in." Marko.

Zia got in the car and closed. After the seatbelt Zia was installed, Marko began to drive his car.

There are still piles of vehicles around the accident site, but after the TKP the road has been stretched.

"Lo why did I scream just as I called?" ask Marko curious.

"In front of me there was an accident, so my reflexes shouted to remind Johan sir." replied Zia.

"But you didn't get hit?"

"No sir, Johan can dodge well." Answer Zia.

"Trus why is that shirt of yours so much blood? that's your arm too." Marko pointed at the dried blood on Zia's arm.

"So we stopped making sacrifices, sir."

Marko let out a long sigh then silently looked forward, Zia was busy rubbing her bloodstained arm.

"Next time don't go all the way out of my eye's reach" Marko said suddenly.

"Good, sir." Zia answered just like that even though she actually wanted to ask the reason.
