During that time, the surroundings suddenly turned quiet. Only Ilyana, the old lady and the bastard assaulter. Ilyana was stunned seeing the old lady in front of her.
She was speechless. In her head, everything kept on coming across about the sudden situation and she wanted to say her thanks but nothing to come out from her mouth.
Instead, the old lady who was in front of her, smiled and showed call sign by her hand. "Police." Then pointed at Ilyana's handbag.
Caught being zoned out, Ilyana became clumsy and quickly searched her cellphone in the handbag. "H-Here".
Ilyana showed her cellphone but then in her eyes, the old lady with black stick was nowhere to be seen anymore. Only wind blew the scattered dead leaves.
'What's going on...' She immediately dialed emergency number and explained her situation. Few minutes later, police officers came and caught the assaulter.
Ilyana also went to the police station by another police car to give her statement and waited for her family. In the police car, Ilyana thought about what happened and also the mysterious old lady. 'Her voice sounds so sweet, not like an old lady...'
At some hidden side of the lake, the old lady looked at the police cars which one by one leaving the lake area. Her eyes could not stop from following Ilyana until she lost from her eyes.
"Do you meet her?" A low and husky's young male voice suddenly uttered and asked the old lady.
The old lady nodded and gave a faint smile to her husband. "It's been such a long time. I miss her."
"You will meet her soon. Just remember, we have to be ready at that time." The husband looked at his wife who was melancholy after her long awaiting meeting with the young adult girl, named Ilyana. They both knew well what the girl meant for them, especially to his wife.
"Yeah you're right." The wife smiled and came into the lake water, joining her husband, the golden dragon. With a second, the old lady now changed into a monstrous silver dragon.
...
Ilyana in the police station got interrogated and she told everything that happened. But one thing, she had to keep secret was about the appearance of the old lady.
She contemplated whether it's good to tell them about her savior, but then she decided to keep silent and told them only about the taxi driver and her. She knew it's unbelievable to an old lady to appear alone and then disappeared in such quick time at the wide area of an abandoned lake.
Later, the roar sound of old motorcycle came to the police station. There Ilyana's father came inside and hugged Ilyana tightly.
They were all surprised when they heard their daughter almost involved in rape tragedy. Instantly her father started the motorcycle's engine and went to the police station.
Never thought the day which supposed a good day of Ilyana got a job at main city, would be the most worst day of all. The father felt bad for letting his daughter to go to the main city. If he was insisted to force his daughter from going, this thing would never happen to her.
They settled their case and they both went back to their house. During the journey, both father and daughter kept silent. Everyone was on their thoughts.
"I-" Both of them spoke at the same time.
"You first." The father let his daughter spoke first.
"I want to become teacher."
"What? You serious?"
"Yup. I will follow what you want, dad. And I am sorry for not listening to you well."
"No no. You did nothing wrong. You just followed your interest. I should let my children to decide what they want. Being a dad, we should not force our family for what they do not like. But I am happy my girl will become teacher too. I will make sure you will not regret being one, dear. After we go back to house, we will discuss more. Now rest. You've got tough day."
Ilyana at the back of her father, hugged him and put her head. She slowly closed her eyes. 'Yeah now I know my destiny. You're always right, dad.'
