I turned my body.
A group of people stood blocking the road and looked down at me. I recognize some of them. They were the ones who intercepted me first and ended up getting beat up by Paijo and Yogo.
And now I'm stuck here with this delinquent who of course has bad intentions towards me?
Woe!
"You think you can just get away with it after looking for it because of Blackstone?" snapped the man who had slapped me.
Ah, so they want revenge?
"You guys framed me who is this weak woman? Seriously? Amazing!" my pout.
The delinquents gritted their teeth, and of course, that was a danger signal for me.
"Look around you! No one will be able to help you anymore! This time I will make sure, you are finished in my hands!" he threatened.
How about this? I won't be able to escape even if I put all my strength into it.
Couldn't today be any worse?
I give up.
"But, if you look around, this girl, boss, she's beautiful and still narrow! Not bad for warming the body!"
I froze to hear the words of one of the punks.
It is better to die than to be abused by them.
I was about to take my cellphone, but a piece of wood flew towards me and hit my hand so hard that the cellphone I was holding fell.
"You want to call that guy of yours? It's useless because once he gets here, you are already dead!"
I took the wood that hit me earlier, then held it tightly. If only they dared touch me, I wouldn't hold back from slamming this wood on them.
"Look, this girl is starting to tremble. You can be scared too!"
Okay, calm down. Calm down Melody, calm down!
God, what's wrong with me?
"Should we take turns, or do we work together?"
"Just take turns boss! If we are together, how can we be satisfied?"
Oh God, save me.
Someone walked up to me and wanted to touch me, but I hit him as hard as I could with the stick I was holding.
Several people approached to fight me.
I was still in a position ready to avenge them. I did everything, hitting, kicking, even striking one of them in the eye.
But someone managed to grab my hand and strangle me until it was hard for me to breathe. I tried my best to let it go, but I was weakened by a tight chest and very hot. The pain was so intense that I lost all my strength. From head to toe, I was so heavy and tense that my vision faded.
The man let me go, I was dying on the floor, but these eyes were still able to see a man running towards me in the distance.
I saw Gepeng, and Naca was running so fast towards me.
Gepeng grabbed a piece of wood on the side of the road and immediately hit the assholes there as soon as he arrived.
Naca grabbed my body which was still lying helplessly on the floor.
"Mel!" Naca patted my cheek tightly.
Unfortunately, I'm too weak to respond to Naca's call.
"Her face is so pale, Peng! Her breath is also very weak again, what's going on?!" shouted Naca.
"FUCK!" shouted Gepeng and then again attacked them blindly. It's like he doesn't care anymore if someone will die later.
Naca leaned me against the wall, then ran to stop Gepeng.
The girl immediately held onto Gepeng who was still raging, while the delinquents who called themselves Blackstone were already lying helplessly on the ground.
"Alright Peng, let's take Melody to the hospital first!" shouted Naca while holding on to Gepeng.
Hearing Naca's words, Gepeng immediately broke away from Naca, and immediately ran to me. He grabbed and lifted the body, after which the man ran from the rickety hut. He looked for his car, which fortunately was parked not far from the Chinese cemetery I had previously passed.
"Hold on, Mel!"
***
I've been moved to a regular inpatient room because luckily my condition wasn't that serious.
I closed my eyes quickly when the door to my inpatient room suddenly opened.
"Peng, what happened?" asked Paijo who sounded quite worried.
I opened my eyes a little to see what they were doing.
Gepeng, who was sitting down in the chair, immediately looked up when he heard Paijo's voice.
"She is still alive!" said Gepeng slowly.
Gepeng turned his gaze from Paijo to me.
Paijo then sat down beside Gepeng.
"I shouldn't have let her go alone."
"Don't blame yourself!"
"She's in my protection, but she's still hurt. I really can't take care of her!"
"I said, don't blame yourself! Are you stupid?!" snapped Paijo.
Gepeng shook his head weakly.
"So what about Blackstone?" Paijo asked quietly.
"The guys have been safe. They have been taken to the headquarters. Roullete plans to get information about Blackstone from them, then report it to the police!"
"Why report to the police? Just finish it off!"
Gepeng took a deep breath and looked at Paijo sharply.
"You crazy!"
"Peng, they almost killed Melody!" shrieked Paijo.
"Jo, calm down! I'm just as angry as you, only Melody will be angry if we do that! Also, this is a country of law! Just leave it to the authorities!"
Paijo chuckled sarcastically.
I don't understand what that guy was thinking. What's with that smile?
Oh, my eyes. It hurts quite a bit to force it open a bit like this.
"Jo," Gepeng called softly.
"Hmm?"
"You like Melody?"
Paijo turned to Gepeng, and looked at his friend curiously.
"Why do you ask like that?"
"Just be curious!"
"Owh ... I don't like her! What about you? Do you like her?"
"Like? No! I love her!"
Hearing their conversation, really made me physically and mentally tired.
I don't know, I feel sad and happy at the same time.
I feel messed up. What happened? Why do I feel this way?
Bruck!
"Melody where is Melody?!" shouted Bambang, who had just opened the door so loudly.
I immediately closed my eyes tightly. He would start nagging and scolding me when he saw me open my eyes. So, it's better to just pretend to sleep.
"No need to make a fuss!" cried Gepeng.
"Peng, why did you let this girl go alone? This girl likes to cause trouble, you know! The problem is that her radar is so fast that if something goes wrong near her, she'll be pulled along! Do you understand?!" chirped Bambang.
"She just said she was close, Mbang! I didn't expect her to go that far! After all, I immediately followed up, even though it was a bit late!" said Gepeng slowly.
"Why does that stupid girl want to go alone?!"
"As far as I remember, she just received a call, then she was so annoyed," replied Gepeng.
I took a deep breath. Hopefully, they don't make this problem big.
"So, I have to call the mother or not, huh?"
"Do not!!!" I shouted as I got up quickly.
Bambang, Paijo, and also Gepeng looked at me in disbelief. It was up to them if they found out that I was pretending to be asleep, the important thing was that this didn't reach my mother's ears, or she would panic.
