The woman's face looked terrible. She is beautiful, but her face is very scary. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was covered with two long, sharp fangs. For some reason, instead of running, I stood still as if petrified in front of him who was voraciously eating the body of a baby. Actually I was shaking a lot, but strangely, I couldn't move my legs. My body feels stiff.
Even my voice seemed to be clogged, unable to squeak a bit. .behold, that dreadful woman, who had now devoured her evening meal, turned to me. His eyes flashed. Slowly, he started to walk towards me.
Not!
What should I do?
Can't anyone help me now?
Now he gripped my neck with his cold hands and long pointed nails. Then...
Unlucky! I can't breathe!
He strangled me.
"Aaaaaaaaaagggghhhh!"
"Natan! Wake up!"
I heard someone's voice, along with a tap on my shoulder repeatedly. .I opened my eyes and looked up. I saw Erwin standing next to me with a confused face.
I dream?
I rubbed my eyes to get a better look, then looked around.
"Did you have a bad dream?"
Erwin asked. Many other employees were also looking at me. .I think it's because of the sound of my scream just now, which was quite noisy. But I was happy because I felt relieved that what I had experienced was just a dream.
Apparently I fell asleep at lunch time.
"It's almost time for lunch. You won't have time to eat lunch, I'll buy you bread or something here,"
As usual, Erwin was always considerate. I rubbed my eyes, yawning, nodding slowly. But, in front of us, appeared Reta, a kind and friendly workmate.
The girl who is five years younger than me, I know from several other office friends, that she has a crush on me since a year ago. However, until now I have never questioned that nor has he, never disclosed it.
He smiled over.
"Hello..did your friends say you were screaming? Why?"
She asked. That's a question for me, despite his friendly face staring at me and Erwin.
"He's nightmare. Dream of being bitten by a cat,"
It was Erwin who answered while grinning. He could indeed be more familiar with Reta, in contrast to me who was a bit more rigid with him.
Maybe it's because he and I already know that she likes me. After all, she was too kind of a girl. Between uncomfortable and shy, I never tried to approach him.
"Goat rammed."
I added. The girl in front of us smiled again. Then she handed me a green plastic package.
"You said you overslept right? Surely you haven't had time for lunch. Here, I have food that I didn't finish. I bought a lot of it,"
Erwin started to be annoying at that time.
"Aseek is treated! Hurry up! He's paying attention."
While elbowing my shoulder.
I elbowed him back. And immediately took what was given by Reta. Even if I refuse, it's not good. Besides, it's good enough to block my stomach because I didn't have time to leave the office for lunch because I fell asleep.
"Thank you,"
I said. The girl nodded and immediately said goodbye to her study, the lunch break was ten minutes left. I immediately opened the package that Reta gave me. The contents are burgers filled with fried chicken and soft drinks. .because of its large size, then, even the bastard next to me, happily participated in spending. Basic, dear friend.
I don't intend to go straight home after work. .as usual, I will go wandering everywhere, for example to bars and nightclubs, where I have visited the most entertainment so far.
Even though I'm working late today. Besides, I only work until six in the afternoon.
At exactly six o'clock, I and several other employees who were working overtime, prepared to leave. I greet them, tell me first.
This large office was deserted at this hour, because most of the workers had already left. Except for a few people who took overtime because the work wasn't done yet. .I am one of them. In one week, I can take up to three times overtime. That's because my work that often piles up, rather than being postponed and finished at home or tomorrow, I'd better finish it that day.
The goal is so that I can rest, free from the office in peace.
I took the elevator to go down to the ground floor. Just a few seconds, I immediately stepped fast. But that's when, I faintly heard something a bit strange. .right behind me, the opposite direction from where I was about to step out.
I immediately stopped my steps and turned around to check. It was someone's voice. Uh no, two people. The other sounded scared. .they found themselves at the corner of the room, cornered between a wall and a large flowerpot. It's a bit invisible because the area looks dim. But I can see clearly. Two people who are acting like a new couple. But I know that one of them is reluctant to do that. .because all I see now is Reta with a guy I know who also works here.
Reta looked terrified, as the man pinned her against the wall.
"I want to go home!"
She almost cried. But the guy doesn't seem to care.
I stepped right behind the man who kept pushing. Then cleared his throat once.
The man turned his head, so did Reta. He looked at me with wet eyes.
"You're not a girlfriend or who is she right?"
I pointed at Reta.
"If your boss or other people in this office find out, your career here could be over."
I stepped closer to them. Meanwhile the man now turned to face me.
"This is none of your business, is it? Reta is nobody, right? Why don't you mind your own business?"
He said. .with a sharper tone. But I stay relaxed.
"Bro, my advice is, if you're too hot or want to play in bed, it's better to spend some money, find a girl who wants to sleep with you. Don't force someone's child like that,"
he who didn't seem to accept what I meant to give advice just now, was now walking quickly towards me, then grabbed the collar of my work shirt which cost three hundred and fifty thousand, and bought it at Tanah Abang Market one month ago.
Behind there, Reta was getting more and more scared, because she saw two people who were about to wrestle. And sure enough, almost minutes after grabbing my shirt collar, the guy threw a fist in my face. .luckily, I swiftly brushed away a raw bombshell that was about five inches away from hitting my cool face. Can be damaged. Instead, I pushed her body roughly with my feet.
BRUGH
He fell down and immediately grabbed his neck.
Rita squealed in surprise.
The man was still using his hands to fight back, but I put one leg up on his chest and I tightened my grip on his neck. It almost strangled him. Making it difficult for him to breathe.
I glared at him, from above him. Then approached his ear and whispered.
"If you dare to bother him again, or I hear the news that you're jailing him for a little bit, it's not only your career that's over, but also your life,"
He finally shut up. Seems to be daunted by my sharp words that I say without playing around. .I slowly released my grip and lowered my legs from above his chest. He coughed while holding his neck. I left him and immediately walked over to Reta who was sitting on the floor, scared. His face was wet with sweat and tears.
"Let us go home,"
I took one of his hands, and helped him up slowly. His whole body was shaking.
For once, I'll take him home in my car. Poor girl as weak as Reta, coming home late at night. Although maybe he's not as weak as I think now.
"This pack,"
I shoved a box of tissues from my bag to the girl next to me, who was trying to calm herself down from what had just happened.
Reta accepts it and says thank you slowly. Then wiped his sweaty face and the remaining tears there. .his condition had improved somewhat, he seemed not to be shaking anymore.
"If he bothers you again, just say so. Don't be afraid. For your own safety, you must have the courage to report it to anyone."
I said, glancing at him briefly. He nodded slowly.
Too bad, Reta is such a nice person. He is a simple, friendly and famous person who likes to help many people. Maybe he falls into the dream category for many men.
But I dare not say anything. Not because he's not my type, but because I'm self-conscious about my behavior.
Twenty minutes later, my car has arrived at the gate of the house of the girl I was taking home.
Reta turned to me, after removing the safety belt.
"Thank you, Nathan, for helping me and taking me home,"
He said slowly. I nodded.
"Yes. Next time, be careful, okay?"
He smiled, "I'll go in first,"
"Okay,"
His hand opened the car door and waved before finally entering the house.
My eyes were still staring until he was completely lost behind the door.
After a little daydreaming, then I left the place. .Maybe now I'll just go home and rest. Intention to go to the club I cancel, better sleep at home...
