While waiting for the bus to take her home, suddenly the cell phone in her bag rang. Isabella immediately took her cell phone and saw a call from her sister Sarah. Immediately the beautiful girl swiped the accept button on her phone screen.
"Yes, Sarah. What is it?" Isabella asked when she received a phone call from Sarah.
"Isabel are you still in the hospital?" Sarah asked over the phone.
"No Sarah. I'm already on my way home. Now I'm waiting for the bus near the hospital." Isabella replied as she kept looking left and right to see if a bus had arrived.
"Oh, then can you stop by the supermarket to shop for our groceries?" Hear Sarah's question. Unconsciously Isabella sighed tiredly.
"Haaah~ But why me? I'm so tired Sarah, can't Aska or Defka go?" Isabella tried to persuade her sister.
"They can't, Isabella. The two of them were staying at their friend's house and Annora also seemed to be busy with her business. At first, I was going to go shopping this morning, but suddenly Diana called me and she said that there would be a change in the proposal to be submitted for tomorrow's meeting. So I've been busy since morning reworking everything. I'm sorry if I bother you, Isabel." There was a hint of regret in Sarah's voice. Isabella, who heard it, felt guilty for having complained earlier.
"Okay let me do the shopping can you please send me a list of what I need to buy Sarah?" Isabella answered quietly. Not long after, Sarah sent a message to Isabella that was a list of things she had to buy later.
"Okay, then I'll stop by the supermarket to buy it. Do you want me to buy you something like a snack maybe?" Isabella offered Sarah.
"No need Isabel. That's enough. Alright, then I'll hang up the call. Once again, thank you." Sarah answered softly, even Isabella could hear the soft chuckle from her sister.
"Yes Sarah, you don't need to thank me. Passion for your work. See you at home."
"Hmm, see you later." After that Sarah hung up the phone.
Soon the bus came. Isabella immediately got up from where she had been sitting and then walked straight to the bus and up the stairs. After paying the bus fare, Isabella immediately sat in the very back corner. She immediately leaned against the window of the bus while looking at the atmosphere of the city that afternoon. Isabella stared out the window for a long time without realizing that she was being watched by someone. Then not long there was a sound and a short vibration coming from her jacket pocket, it was the sound of an incoming message notification. Isabella took her cell phone from her jacket pocket and saw a message from Annora.
'I have no home. Stay at Ercilia's house with Alisya and Callysta. Doing unfinished tasks. I put the house key in the usual place, don't come home too late. After shopping, go straight home and don't stop by anywhere.' After finishing reading, the message from her twin sister. Isabella took a deep breath. Because she was left alone at home, she also didn't know when Sarah would come home or maybe she would stay at Diana's house, considering that Sarah's meeting would be held very early tomorrow. Her eldest sister will stay at Diana's house which is much closer to the company where they work.
Then she replied to Annora's message and immediately put her cell phone back into her jacket pocket. And Isabella leaned back against the window she could feel the cold air in the bus window, the beautiful girl looked back at the dark city atmosphere. It turns out that the sun has given up its throne to the moon and the stars. She didn't realize that the bus she was riding had stopped several times and started running again, after almost half an hour the bus stopped again and this time Isabella immediately got up from her seat and got out of the bus.
The beautiful little girl immediately walked towards the supermarket which was not far from there and not far from her house. So she can go home as soon as she finishes shopping, she hastened her pace because the night is getting colder and the weather outside is getting colder. After almost ten minutes of walking, Isabella finally arrived in front of the supermarket. She immediately entered and took a basket to help her carry her things later. Isabella chose to bring a basket because she was only going to shop for groceries and it wasn't much and wasn't heavy. Isabella took her cell phone and saw the message from Sarah that she had received about the list of items she had to buy, then she immediately looked for the items such as eggs, meat, bread, fruit and others.
After almost twenty minutes later Isabella finished taking some of the food items needed after that she went straight to the cashier who immediately totalled the amount of all the items she bought after finishing the cashier put all her belongings into a plastic bag and Isabella immediately paid the price. And then she immediately brought her groceries which turned out to be quite heavy and also had two bags that she had to carry. Isabella came out of the supermarket with two plastic bags in her hands. She immediately walked towards her house maybe she would be there in fifteen minutes or maybe twenty minutes considering the weight of the goods she was carrying would slow her pace.
It's been almost ten minutes and Isabella is still on her way back to her house, but suddenly she accidentally tripped over a rock while walking, one of the plastics she was carrying slipped out of her grip and fell on the road.
"Oh my God, how can I be this careless? How annoying I am." Isabella squatted down while picking up the scattered items. When she was almost finished suddenly several people approached her, Isabella immediately took the last item and immediately put it in a plastic bag. The beautiful girl tried to avoid looking at the few people who were currently watching her from the front. When Isabella was about to walk straight and avoid them suddenly there was a hand blocking her path. Isabella immediately turned to look at someone who had blocked her way.
"Excuse me please can you step aside? You're blocking my way." Isabella tried to appear casual and polite to avoid trouble. But instead of listening to what Isabella said, the person wearing a black hat who stretched out his arms laughed at Isabella.
"Hey hey. A pretty girl like you doesn't deserve to be walking alone carrying groceries like this. Why don't you just leave your groceries behind and join us in the fun?" The person in the black hat was getting closer to Isabella. But the girl was not at all provoked she remained calm and kept trying to walk past them.
"Sorry but I can't. So please let me pass." Isabella replied calmly as she kept trying to get past them.
But instead of listening to her, they became bolder, another person wearing a red shirt suddenly grabbed Isabella's arm. The girl tried to defend herself and instead encircled the beautiful girl which made Isabella unable to escape from them.
"What are you doing?! Please step aside and let me go!" Isabella shouted at the end when someone in a jeans jacket hugged her waist.
"Come on~ don't be shy pretty. Shut up and come with us, then we won't hurt you." A person wearing sunglasses suddenly approached Isabella and should want to kiss the girl. Isabella wanted to dodge it but her hands were held tightly and she couldn't do anything.
"LET ME GO!!!" Isabella shouted when the person with the black glasses almost kissed her.
After a while suddenly an apple that came from nowhere was thrown at the face of the person with black glasses. The man fell to the ground.
"Shit! Who threw this at me?!" shouted the man angrily. For a moment they looked in all directions to find out who had thrown the apple. Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere interspersed with laughter that was so familiar to Isabella's ears.
"Hahaha! Dirty rats are disgusting. Let go of that girl immediately or you will receive my wrath! Hurry Up!" Said the voice coldly and filled with intimidation and emphasis on every sentence.
"What?! Why do we have to do it?! And why should we be afraid of you?! If you dare hurry you out! You rancid bastard!!" shouted one of them wearing a black hat.
Not long after that, someone appeared from behind a tree beside the road and proudly stepped toward them. Under the moonlight that night, it was clear that a proud face was accompanied by a haughty smile on his handsome face.
"A filthy rat dares to speak impolitely to someone like me. Truly uncivilized and disgusting." He said so proudly and in such a cold tone. His words and tone of voice were like a sharp knife to those delinquents that made them shiver slightly in fear. Then that person looked at Isabella who could only freeze in place when she saw him, he immediately smiled a strangely very strange smile for Isabella.
"What are you doing here? Michael?" Isabella asked in a low voice and continued to stare at the young man who was also looking at her with a meaningful smile.
