"Did you hear that?" Asked the cowardly with a face increasingly gleamed. He turned to the brave one, to be exact, the brave one, both A and B, the two of them exchanged glances with trembling pupils and paled faces.
"Have you ever heard the story of a student who committed suicide while pregnant, by drinking poison in the bathroom?" The coward trembled even more at his own words.
He didn't want beer anymore. The young man immediately fled taking a thousand steps, escaped from Belen's shop leaving behind his two friends.
"Max! Can you get us the beer? I don't believe in weird things like that, hehe," the brave one laughed with cringer sounded.
"Can you bring beer for us or..?" He asked once again.
Max nodded in agreement. The sentence just now made his partner looked more cowardly.
"Yes, great then!" He replied by taking Max's arm.
Felt uncomfortable, Max pulled his hand away. He smiled, a small smile with his partner's cold palm.
"But I'm just a little worried about Theo (oh, the coward's name is Theo!) Him, he-- yes, you know he's quite timid, I have to accompany him .." Max tried to analyze his friend's sentence, this brave guy's voice had changed. Shaky
Max could see, cold sweat began appeared on his friend's forehead. He shook his head in an amused laugh.
"Good!" Said Max raised his hand lightly. He seemed to understand this situation.
"I'll bring for your beer and bringing to your hangout place, but if... I can get out of here, safely!" Joked Max
"You're kidding! Hehe, I have to follow Theo from now on, be our coward and crybaby," Max nodded. Welcomed his friends for leaving.
Seeing his friend immediately ran away he just laughed, funny. Max leaned against the counter. He remembered the sweet incident this afternoon in this shop.
Envision him and Leah sitting on chairs and eating together. He spun around, facing the counter. The image of him helping Leah behind the table made Max smile even happier.
Ah, Leah! It's always Leah! All these sweet memories make him lazy to go home, maybe this is one of the right reasons for him to buy time to go home. Max hopes Pauline will accept his excuses tonight, he doesn't feel at home at Eduardo's house.
Max is alone in the shop. He is a realistic and forward-thinking young man. But the whispered voice from inside made Max a little curious too. The man walked cautiously with a warm face.
He scratched his head which was not itchy. Just earlier there was a sound coming from here, right? He walked carefully, he tried to watch the state of the room.
"Halloooww .." Max hissed trying to walk down the hall to the back room.
"ANYONE !! PLEASE PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR !!" The voice of the woman screamed more clearly.
Duk! Duk! Duk !!
The sound of banging on the door made Max gasp in surprise. Shocked mixed with fear!
Max tried to be brave. He cleared his throat and adjusted his voice, he was a realistic modern man, that was what he thought in his head so that the fear would disappear from his heart.
"Ehem! Hello .." Max's voice sounded heavy even though he had tried to cover up his fear.
"You !! You in front, can you help me !!"
Max tried to be brave, he tried to be sure if the voice was not like his two colleagues had expected. Is that a human voice?
"W, what .. are you in?" Max asked still in a trembling voice.
"Yes !! Please open it !! I'm locked !!" Wait, it looks like that small voice in there is familiar to my ears. Max tried to remember.
"What are you, you--" The fear just vanished from within him.
"Are you Max!" Leah snatched in an upward voice, "Ah, whoever you are, I hope you will help me. I'm too hallucinating to expect that man to help me!" Leah was chattered herself, whether she realized it or not, she was tired and desperate, she wanted to get out of this tiny bathroom!
Max widened the corners of his lips. He had heard it all. Instantly his fear disappeared without a trace. He held back a small laugh in his heart, why did his fear suddenly turn happy.
Wait, this isn't the time for a smile held back alone laugh. He must have upset Leah if she saw the look on Max's face right now.
But rest assured he's not laughing at Leah's destiny trapped in the bathroom. Okay, he's excited about this unlucky fate that they can meet.
"Ehem, are you Leah?" Max asked in a clearing voice.
"Yes, yeah !! I'm Leah !!" She snatched quickly with a hoarse voice. Max's lips suddenly smiled again.
"You !! Whoever you are, help me .." Leah whispered, suddenly her enthusiasm returned.
"Do you know which key I should use?" Max raised the key in his hand, there were many options in his hand.
"I don't know exactly either, can you try?" Leah asked.
"One by one?" Max hesitated to see that were so many keys he had to try. This will take a lot of time.
"I hope you still have a patient stock .." said Max, Leah couldn't only surrender, it can't be helped. Instead of her staying the night in the bathroom.
Twenty-five minutes have passed. Max was still struggling with the keys in his hands.
"Why would Bellen keep all the keys together like this!" Annoyed Max grumbled to himself.
"Leah, are you okay inside?" Max's face was worried about the girl who had been trapped in the bathroom for a long time.
"Yes, I ... better now," Leah's voice sounded weak.
Even though it was slow, Leah's voice was calm. Max is quite worried about Leah in there. He just can't wait for the right key, what about in there?
"Leah, do you want to hear the quiz?" Max looked for a topic of conversation until gw can finish tried matching keys. He tried one by one.
"Yes," said Leah shortly.
"From a, b, c, d to z, what letters are missing? " Max tried to distract her feeling so that Leah could calm down inside.
"Missing letter?" Leah asked, not understanding.
"Yups," Leah silently for a moment. She might be thinking of Max quiz or She just lazy for thinking in this situation.
"Mm.. letter of E?" Answered Leah with an unconfident voice.
"No!" Replied Max from the other side.
"Let's me try once again, how about Y, letter Y, is it?" Leah never gave up trying to answer Max's quiz.
"No, you had a wrong answer.." the atmosphere silently for a moment.
Max still waited Leah answered and on his gasp, only two keys tried matching.
"I'm giving up!"
"Are you gave up?"
"Yeah.." Said Leah as if sounded resigned.
"Okay, so the missing letter is .. "
CLICK !!
Opened door. Max saw Leah's pale face with messy, dirty hair. The man tried to brush off the dust in Leah's hair. He could see Leah's wet clothes. He was very worried.
The girl could only gasp and froze in front of Max.
"There's a lot of dust in your hair," Max announced. Leah nodded slightly.
She hit the wire covering the vent which was never cleaned, so you can imagine how thick the dust had accumulated on her head.
And now .. Max's eyes dropped. She found Leah's wet shirt, made the skin of her breast look tracing. The shirt looked transparent. So Max can saw the color of the underwear that the girl in front of him was wearing.
He immediately unzipped his jacket. Max gave it to Leah. The girl nodded and gave a small smile.
"Thank you for helping me," Leah said with emotion.
It felt like she just realized that she hadn't eaten so when she walked her legs trembled. Leah almost fell if weren't for Max to catching on to her body quickly.
It felt like this scene was so familiar. Max remembers what happened at the nightclub. How he hugged Leah's body which was wrapped in a tight and sexy dress.
"Can you stand up?" Leah tried to nod and tried to straighten her body but Max didn't just let go of her.
he kept leading Leah out of the bathroom. He took Leah's hand and embraced her waist.
"You sit down first," they went to the front room where there were chairs, Max led Leah's body out of the hallway,
they went to the main room where the shelves were lined with merchandise, Leah grabbed a bag of snacks, she was very hungry, the girl reached for soyjoy, maybe soy calories. can replenish her energy.
Max pulled the cashier chair, he led Leah who was tore the snack wrap with her teeth.
When Max finds out about her behavior that is not graceful, Leah seems to realize. She is very unrefined. Max saw all the bad sides of herself. She cleared her throat and tried to maintain her image. Isn't it too late.
Max asked Leah sat down.
"I'll make hot drinks and instant noodles," Max said, keeping Bellen's shop keys on the counter. Leah couldn't say much, she just nodded.
Before Max made the food he grabbed a pack of tissues and handed it to Leah.
"Thank you, I need this!" Leah said lifting the wet tissue pack, she took one bite of the snack and then reached for the tissue sheet. She wiped her face and head. She also wiped the sweat off her skin. It felt like her body was so sticky.
"Why did you get stuck there?" Asked Max curiously while preparing drinks and food for Leah.
Leah sighed heavily, her eyes watching Max's hand, this time the man seemed to be painstakingly dealing with the water machine.
"I should have known what happened, but the truth is I don't!" Leah said with an exasperated face.
"You mean?" Max doesn't understand. He stirred the warm drink in his hand.
"I'm not sure about my assumptions, but it seems, your girls' colleagues don't like me, I think they lock up and gossiping badly about me! Ah, that's so annoying!" Max looks thoughtful with Leah's words, while his hands get busy making instant noodles in cups.
He also grabbed a bottle of coffee and put it in the microwave. Hot coffee might be better, accompanying their chat tonight.
"Are you talking about girls?" Asked Max.
Leah nodded with an angry face. "They locked me up on purpose. How annoying!" Leah paraded while stretching her legs.
She was still upset, tired, and relieved. Ah, only Max ...
Her face lifted, she watched Max look busy and calm before her eyes. Ah, he's always helping me, wait!
"But, why are you here?" Leah just realized why Max was able to save her. That sounds impossible.
"Yes, as you said, someone deliberately set you up for bad luck, and someone deliberately sent me to help you for good luck," Leah confused with Max's answer, he was kidding, right?
"Wait, did you said, the girls... What do you mean, are they kept us together on purpose? They want us to spend some time alone?"
What! Max's face turned stunned. how could Leah think strangely?
Leah blinked her eyes with an innocent-looking.
Spending time together tonight? Realizing all those words made their faces turned red.
