Visiting the same club for quite several times or for as long as Emy could remember, ever since Harry started working here to be précised, makes her think about Harry once again as she and Ada were used of his presence whenever they got to hang out at the Psycho Suzi's Bar, particularly at this kind of situation.
Wherein, if he was here tonight, Emy would have felt much safer as Harry has been very caring and protective of her like a brother, also considering his connections at this bar. She suddenly misses his presence right now, unaware that she had became silent just thinking about him and Ada noticing this so she asks "Thinking about someone?..."
"Yeah...I just suddenly thought about Harry now..."Emy responded.
"I missed him too..."Ada said, her voice holds melancholy tone as the smile she was wearing a while ago slowly left her lips.
"I tried calling him this afternoon but I can't reach his phone number...Ada I am really worried now"
"Same here Emy..."
"Are you sure there is nothing else you're not telling me?" Emy inquired.
"Of course...I'm sure..." Ada suddenly felt caught in the middle, she felt guilty about lying to her best friend, until now she did not told her everything about them and she just couldn't tell everything now particularly that Harry is not here, so she just chose to keep it to herself.
However, out of frustrations, Ada dialed Harry's number and tried calling him but she couldn't reach his phone number as well.
"I will just go to the comfort room" Emy says for Ada to just nods at her while still trying to call Harry.
Emy walks toward the comfort room of the bar located at the corner, a little far across from where they are seating which is at the counter. Being a little tipsy already, she didn't notice that someone is following behind her.
When Emy stepped out of the ladies comfort room as she was done and about to head back to where Ada is, someone grab and pull her arm from behind. She was shocked that she quickly looked back to see who did that to her, and she got more terrified to see the man from the bar counter before who had bumped on her earlier, and so she quickly pull her arm from the man's grip but then he won't let her go.
"What's your problem?! Let me go!" Emy says while glaring at the man's face, she is already feeling nervous but she sure knows that would give him more advantage so she doesn't let it show.
"I've been staring at you for awhile now miss, would you like to drink with me?!" the man says as he looked at Emy's body with lustful eyes.
"I don't drink with strangers! So let me go now!" Emy retorted as she tries to pull her arm once again from his grip but still he won't let her go, and when she try to slap him using her other hand, the man only catch to grip it tight and pinned her to the wall.
Other people who pass by that corner thought they are just making out because of their position right now that Emy felt so disgusted so she tried to kick between his legs but still no effect to the man as he already expected that move from her.
"Whoa! Aggressive huh?! I like that! You really turn me on miss!" the man shamelessly said as he smirks mischievously, when suddenly someone grabs the man's shoulder from behind, the grip on his shoulders were strong that he winced in pain which made him let go of Emy's arms.
Emy was shocked by the sudden action that she is unable to move her feet to run away from there as her eyes is now fixed at the other man who is wearing a black bucket hat with black face mask who looks younger with his choice of clothes than the pervert guy who now stumbled on the ground after getting two punches right at his face.
The younger looking man grabs and pulls Emy's hand as they run away from there going towards the back door of the bar as quick as the man can while dragging Emy with him.
Everything happens so fast for Emy right now so as soon as they got out, Emy stopped and pulled back her arm from the man's grip that made the man stops as well. They are now at the dark alley, few steps far from the bar where they came from, both panting due to running and adrenaline rush.
Though Emy appreciates his help, it still gives her creeps that she is still with another stranger! And while still feeling nervous and tired, Emy looked at the man who is now standing in front of her to say "Thank you for what you did back there...but let's separate from here, I have someone else with me so I need to go back"
The man didn't say anything nor took off his mask and hat to let him show his face, so before it gets more awkward between them, Emy decided to just turn and go back at the bar but then the man suddenly grab both her arms and push her pinning to the wall of that dark alley.
Emy felt the cold hard wall from behind as her heart beats fast again that her body slightly tremble out of nervousness while feeling how strong the man's grip her arms right now and it's even stronger than the pervert guy from before. Stuttering she ask the man "Wh-what are you do-doing?...Wh-who are you?"
"Tell me where he touched you?! Did he kiss you?!"The man asked with gravelly tone of voice as he turns his head to look straight at her hazel eyes that made her eyes widened in surprise realizing these familiar brown eyes!
"Saff?!"She exclaimed!
"Answer my questions first! Did he touch you anywhere?!"
Emy's body slowly stops trembling, feeling calmer knowing she is with someone she knew, finally! But then she can sense that Saff isn't in his usual friendly mood, instead he is tensed and judging from his tone, he seemed very angry and irritated.
"No...I didn't let him touch me or kiss me...he just pinned me onto the wall like what you're doing right now..." Emy carefully answered trying to calm the situation.
If only looks could melt a person in an instant, Emy swears she already melted from Saff's gaze! Then he slowly releases his grip from her hands but instead of completely letting it go, he gently pulls to hug her tight.
Emy didn't make a move in astonishment and just let him do it, but her heart is pounding like it's going out of her chest anytime soon and she can't calm down now.
"Just let me do this for seconds...I didn't mean to scare you earlier…just don't make me worry again..." Saff says as his tone now is gentler and caring, then he releases her from his hug and hold onto her shoulders as he look straight into her hazel eyes and continue to say "and don't ever call me young man again...I am not a minor anymore. Now, I will take you home" then he hold her hand, entwining on his.
Still dumbstruck by this man's action, Emy let him hold her hand but then she suddenly remembers Ada! 'Oh shit! She might be worried by now as she is not back there yet' Emy is mentally scolding herself. Her phone is in silent mode, and upon checking it already has ten missed calls from Ada, so she immediately called her back as she signaled Saff to stop walking for awhile as she was trying to make a call.
"Finally you called back! Where are you Emy?!...I'm about to turn this bar upside down looking for you!" Ada worriedly scolding her from the other line,
"I'm so sorry Ada...I didn't mean to make you worry but something just came up and so I needed to go immediately"
"Without even saying goodbye? Really, Emy?! Seriously what happened to you?"
"I will tell you the details when we meet again"
"You'd better explain this to me Emy! You know I'm serious now! Where are you?"
"I'm on my way to the office...I am really sorry Ada"
"Be careful on your way then...You should have told me so I could have driven you there! Anyway, whatever it is you sure you can handle it on your own?"
"Yes don't worry...I'll be fine here"
"You'd better be! Call me later alright?! I'm hanging up now" and with that Ada end the call being somewhat irritated with what happened but just because she was worried. Emy smiled as she really appreciates Ada's concern towards her, she felt really lucky having her best friend but felt bad at the same time as she lied to her.
She put back her phone inside her sling bag, and looks at Saff as he holds her hand again and they walk towards to where he parked his luxurious car.
Few hours ago, when Saff dashed out of their dorm and started his car engine, he has one place in mind – The Psycho Suzi's Bar, It is the only bar he knew that he might see Emy. He doesn't know why but he has this kind of feeling, the feeling of being worried without having the exact reason, if he can't find Emy in that bar then it would really be a hassle for him as to where he would start looking for her in this entire city.
He doesn't know why, it is really weird though but he felt that he needs to see her tonight, or at least know where she is and who is she with so he can be able to sleep tonight.
With his speeding car, he finally arrived at his destination, of course he has his best disguise props; the bucket hat and mask that he quickly puts on then he immediately went inside the bar.
First he went straight at the bar counter because this is where he usually sees her, yes that's right! He usually see her there, he knows the exact spot.
Since that night when he first saw her dance at this bar, that night when he had one of the private rooms with the other Idol members, producers and staffs having a celebration and meeting at the same time, their encounter when he took her picture, he knew at that moment that she is someone he won't let to just pass by.
