Bruk!
Asya's body was hit by the luxury car. Her body bounced, floating upwards. For a moment, Asya did not understand what was happening to her. Feeling like slow motion, Asya felt herself forced to understand what had just happened.
Bruk!
The heavy impact on the car made Asya's body roll around, until it landed on the asphalt with a bang. The girl felt that her body was very weak now. No, she was paralyzed, unable to move anything. As if there is no energy and effort so that she can control her body.
Asya's breath was panting, quite strong, but every time she took a breath, pain immediately spread throughout her body. The girl also felt something run down her temples, and her beads were heavy, forcing them to close.
'I ... why?' asked Asya in her heart. 'Why is it so hard to move? Why is my body so sore? I can't even scream a bit.'
'Not! Do not! Don't die, Asya! You haven't made up with Mama yet!' Asya continued to speak in her heart, while wincing in pain.
Asya's bead slowly closed. Her hearing began to fade. The last thing Asya saw and heard was the screams of people who seemed to be panicking about the accident that befell Asya. After that, Asya was completely unconscious and she doesn't remember anything after that.
One tear fell.
'Not! Don't die, Asyara!'

"You haven't had breakfast, have you? What do you want to eat?" Crish asked while glancing at Lathia. The man's right hand is focused on holding the steering wheel to control the speed of the car.
Lathia didn't answer right away. The girl prefers to play with her cellphone, scroll through social media, and like some posts on her homepage.
"Mm, whatever, it's up to you, Crish." Lathia replied without even glancing at Crish.
Chris sighed. Lathia looked very indifferent to him. Although this is not a common thing. This has happened since a year after he and Lathia went to study abroad. Crish didn't really understand what caused Lathia to change, although slowly but Crish could feel it. Next, Crish just smiled a little, his gaze shifted to the front.
"Why don't we want breakfast at home? Earlier, Aunt Alma cooked a lot of food for us. It's really good, it's a shame if we miss it," said Crish, changing the topic.
Lathia was silent. "I just don't want to eat home cooking. I'm used to eating fast food, and in restaurants, like when we were in America." She replied.
"I see," concluded Crish. However, Crish couldn't force Lathia. He had to accept it.
The atmosphere was quiet again, Crish returned to focus on driving. Lathia secretly opened Sean's social media, and seemed to be looking for something. Seeing him, Crish sighed again, a look that was difficult to interpret now plastered on Crish's face.
For the umpteenth time, Crish caught Lathia busy finding out about Sean. Although secretly, but Crish can guess. Crish doesn't know what Lathia and Sean's relationship is. Crish was too scared to know. Even so, Crish gradually understood that Lathia could love Sean. Especially when Sean stated that he had a girlfriend, since yesterday Lathia has been browsing social media, like a rabid fan who always wants to know about her idol's activities.
"Half a mile more, we arrive at the restaurant," said Crish breaking the silence. Honestly, Crish didn't like being in this quiet situation. Whereas yesterday, Lathia was so enthusiastic about chatting with him, unlike this time, Lathia seemed to be silent.
Crish clenched his teeth when he realized that Lathia had not also answered his words, it made Crish's emotions rise. "Lathia," Crish called. "You like Sean, don't you?" Crish asked, straight to the point. Crish couldn't hold it in anymore, his mind was always confused and confused thinking about it.
Lathia immediately choked. She glanced at Chris. "What are you saying," replied Lathia. "I'm your girlfriend, how dare you say that to me," the girl continued, feeling uncomfortable with Crish's question.
Crish ignored Lathia's reply. Crish said it was certainly not nonsense. But Lathia didn't seem to accept it. Good, Lathia's acting was pretty good, but not with Crish's mind that couldn't act that he was worried right now.
This time, it was Lathia's turn to sigh. "Crish, I want to be honest," said the girl.
Not glancing or answering, Crish was just silent, gripping the steering wheel tightly. The man only answered with a slight mumble.
"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Anticipate when I come back here. Honestly, I don't want to burden you and your family. Especially with that kind of pressure, you suspect that I like Sean. It's fine with me if you think like that, but I decided it wasn't because of that pressure from you, I—"
"I'm not pressuring you, Lathia," Crish interrupted quickly. The man glanced at Lathia, and stared at the girl's eyes intently. "I just want honesty from you. That's all," continued Crish.
Lathia was silent. Cris looked at him seriously. It was rare for Lathia to get such an emotionless stare. Lathia had a hard time guessing what was in Crish's heart right now. "Okay, I'll tell you now." The girl returned Crish's gaze seriously. "I don't want to live in your house anymore. I want to live alone, in my own house. If you do not agree, I want to separate from you, " She honestly.
Crish's bead widen. "Live alone?" Crish repeated unconsciously. "Lathia, I don't—" Crish's eyes widened as he glanced back at the street, a girl was seen walking past the zebra crossing. Crish forgot he was driving, so shocked by Lathia's statement, Crish couldn't focus. His mind was confused for a moment, Crish honked the horn strongly but didn't have time to hit the brakes and ....
BrukK!!
The girl was hit, her face glanced at Crish, wide-eyed, as surprised as the man.
CRACK!
The girl's body hit the windshield with such force, that cracks appeared instantly. Quickly, her body rolled over, landing on the asphalt with a bang.
BRUGH!
The sound of the girl's body as it fell made Crish freeze instantly. No, not only Crish, Lathia who initially looked cold seemed petrified with wide eyes. That girl's gaze, Crish seemed to have seen it before, somewhere.
"Chris! You hit someone!" cried Lathia while patting Crish's shoulder quite hard. The girl hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
A second later, Crish woke up from his daydream. The man followed Lathia's footsteps, got out of the car in a hurry to see what was going on. Crish's heart felt like it had hit concrete, making it difficult for him to just breathe calmly. In his heart, Crish repeatedly hoped that what had just happened was just an illusion. However, Crish's hopes were dashed when he saw Lathia shaking the body of the girl that Crish had hit earlier.
"Miss? are you okay? Hey?" Lathia lightly tapped the girl's shoulder. Until Lathia realized that the girl was unconscious, she turned her body and was immediately surprised when she saw Asya's face.
Likewise with Cris. The girl was surprised by Asya's face which had several wounds, and blood coming out of his mouth, don't forget that Asya's familiar face made Crish even more surprised.
"Crish, she's Sean's girlfriend, right?! Let's quickly take him to the hospital!" Lathia ordered quite panicked.
Crish nodded quickly, the man carried Asya's body and took the girl into the car, not long after that he drove his car quickly, towards the hospital.
