"Which way did she run?" asked Yudis.
Bastian replied while pointing to the south, "I think there."
Zion nodded, agreeing with Bastian's words.
"Follow me," said Yudistira.
Bastian and Zion looked back at each other, wondering what their eldest friend would do.
"follow him, maybe he intends to commit suicide again."
Bastian chuckled, while Zion and Yudistira were already running towards the car that was brought by Bastian. Yudistira's motorbike, which was badly damaged, had already been transported by a mechanic when Zion and Bastian arrived there.
It took about ten minutes for them to find Adeeva again. And as expected, the girl was still trying to kill herself. Stupidly, the girl used Bastian-like methods. Namely by crashing himself into a passing vehicle.
It's around 3 in the morning, it's very quiet. What's more, it was still drizzling the city all day.
Yudistira stopped his car right in front of the girl. Adeeva was a little surprised, her eyes were completely closed and her body was shaking with cold.
"Hit her so she regrets like me," Bastian suggested.
Yudistira glanced sadistically at Bastian, as did Zion.
***
Adeeva is walking without knowing the direction. She didn't look left or right. All she saw was a pair of bare feet. Her feet were so dirty with dirt and grass. She was remembered by his father's words.
"Adeeva is ugly and clumsy. Are you sure it's my biological child?!"
Those words always echoed in her mind. Her father is not sure that Adeeva her daughter.
Her memory made Adeeva more determined to die. Nobody wants him in this world, so why is she there? The world without him would be fine.
A car headlight dazzled the girl. Adeeva turned, saw a car speeding by. It seemed this was an opportunity for her to die.
Adeeva continues walking to the middle of the road. Keep walking while closing his eyes very tightly. Her breath was rising and falling, her heart felt like it was going to dislodge. Her body was shaking with cold and fear. Stupid, she shouldn't be afraid she should be. What is she afraid of? Are the people closest to her feel lost? There will be no.
Adeeva gasped when her hand was suddenly pulled by someone. She saw the man who helped her in the lake earlier.
"Follow me," he said as he continued to pull the helpless Adeeva. How come? The girl didn't have the slightest bit of energy right now. She is like a sacrificial goat that is dragged to the mosque to be slaughtered.
Arriving in the car, her eyes widened to see there were two men as well. Ah, yes they also helped her earlier.
"Instead of raping me, it's better to just kill me," Adeeva said.
Yudistira laughed sarcastically, while Bastian burst out laughing. Zion? The calm annoying guy just smiled amusedly.
"I'm sorry, we are not lusting with you," Bastian replied.
"Where's your house?" Zion asked.
Adeeva's gaze changed instantly. The warm gaze had turned flat and blank as if he had been lazy to talk about it.
"Find me a hotel," Adeeva said.
Zion, Bastian, and Yudis gaped wide. New to know, invite to the hotel?
Adeeva looked down wearily, "I can't go home."
The three of them seemed to understand the situation. Maybe, Adeeva's broken home? Or maybe she was fighting with her parents.
Finally, Yudistira took Adeeva to a nearby hotel. When they got there, they immediately got off and went to the receptionist in soaking wet conditions. If only the car used was not a high-end car, they would certainly be expelled like trash.
"How many rooms do you want?" asked the receptionist.
"Just one. For her." Zion said.
Wherever the three of them went, Zion always booked the hotel and plane tickets.
"The total is 150$, do you want cash or debit?" asked the Receptionist again.
Adeeva gaped, that much money she could use for a week's meal. Also, that's a week's worth of toil at the flower shop. Adeeva thought again and again.
"Sorry, it doesn't seem so, Ma'am," Adeeva answered making Zion surprised.
Zion looked at Adeeva with an angry expression.
Then, they approached Yudistira and Bastian.
"Let's back home," asked Bastian while embracing Yudistira and Zion's shoulders.
"How's that girl?" Zion asked, pointing to the girl sitting not far from them.
Yudistira and Bastian frowned in surprise.
Zion, who understood the code from his friend, explained, "She didn't make a booking."
Yudistira sighed harshly and approached the girl.
"What do you want? You asked for a hotel, now it doesn't work. What do you mean?" said Yudistira, who had lost his temper.
For him, this is more troublesome than a woman saying, "it's okay and whatever."
"Why are you angry? I didn't ask you to help me." Adeeva replied.
"you are helped, you don't even know yourself."
"Tsk! I know my life is just a burden for other people. That's why I'm looking for death!" Adeeva snapped as she walked away leaving the three of them.
