"May I sit here, Miss?", said a thin young man asking Doctor Zelena.
"Excuse me, who are you?", asked Doctor Zelena who felt she did not know the young man in front of her.
"I am nobody, Miss. I just want to sit here. Do you allow it?", replied the young man while looking at Doctor Zelena with a look full of desire.
"Please sit here. As long as you don't bother me", replied Doctor Zelena nodding and allowing the unknown young man to sit at the same table as her.
"OK, Miss. Thank you. I promise not to bother you", promised the thin young man then sat with his back to Doctor Zelena.
What Doctor Zelena did not know was, the thin young man was currently smiling creepily.
Initially, the thin young man had acted normally and did not bother Doctor Zelena. The thin young man was still normal like other people who were enjoying live music.
Everything changed when the young man drank too much alcohol. Not long after, the young man started to be a little rude.
He touched the skin on Doctor Zelena's wrist. 'Wow, her skin is so smooth', thought the skinny young man.
Doctor Zelena then immediately pushed away the skinny young man's hand. His attitude was still tolerable for Doctor Zelena.
But then, the skinny young man acted up again by touching Doctor Zelena's chin, and that was what made Doctor Zelena very disgusted.
Finally, annoyed and disgusted, Doctor Zelena decided to leave the place immediately.
When Doctor Zelena was about to stand up from her seat, the skinny young man deliberately blocked Doctor Zelena's way.
The skinny young man held Doctor Zelena's wrist tightly with a shake of his head gesture that meant he was reluctant to let go. Doctor Zelena ran out of patience and finally became furious.
"Let go of my hand!!", snapped Doctor Zelena.
The skinny young man just smiled meaningfully and said.
"Accompany me and have fun with me tonight", said the skinny young man while still looking at Doctor Zelena's beautiful face.
Doctor Zelena warned the skinny young man once again. However, the young man ignored her.
Doctor Zelena, who was really fed up, finally twisted the skinny young man's wrist. And a moment later, the crisp sound of broken bones was heard combined with a scream of misery.
Crack...
"Ahh.. Fuuuuuucccckkkkk..!!!", shouted the skinny young man in pain.
Next, Doctor Zelena kicked the young man's chest until the skinny young man was thrown back.
Now there was a chance to run. So, Doctor Zelena immediately ran out of the cafe.
Many people had seen the incident, but they just kept quiet as if they didn't want to interfere in other people's business.
"Catch that bitch!!", shouted the skinny young man ordering some of his men.
"Yes, boss!!", replied his men in uniform and immediately chased out of the cafe.
Doctor Zelena ran and kept running until she didn't realize she had passed several blocks from the cafe.
She ran so fast that it was enough to overwhelm the people who were chasing her.
Every time there was a small alley, she entered it and ran continuously, who knows where she was going. Doctor Zelena ran barefoot so she could run faster.
Meanwhile, the skinny young man's men who she had beaten up earlier continued to chase behind her. Doctor Zelena continued to run for 15 minutes without stopping until she finally felt exhausted.
Luckily, there was a large house with an open gate. Doctor Zelena entered the house without hesitation and hid behind a chair on the porch.
What Doctor Zelena did not know was that the owner of the house was secretly watching her as soon as she entered and hid behind a chair on the porch.
Probably because she was so panicked, Doctor Zelena did not realize that the owner of the house was sitting reading a newspaper next to her.
The skinny young man's men were now confused and lost track of Doctor Zelena. Some of them scattered looking here and there but still couldn't find Doctor Zelena.
After their continuous search around the block many times, and there were already several residents who were suspicious of their actions, finally some of the skinny young men's men discussed with each other and decided to return to the cafe leaving traces of desperate faces.
Doctor Zelena could finally breathe deeply with relief. Doctor Zelena's body was covered in sweat. The sweat on her forehead was like someone who had just done a morning run.
'I should have been able to beat them all. I can train my stamina again', said Doctor Zelena who slightly underestimated the people who were chasing her.
After having enough strength, Doctor Zelena got up and was about to leave the house.
Watching the front gate, Doctor Zelena felt a little worried that the men were trying to trick her out of hiding.
And before Doctor Zelena could take a step, suddenly a voice was heard from her left side.
"They've left, if you want to go home, just go home," said the voice.
Doctor Zelena was shocked and asked for forgiveness because of her behavior of entering someone's house without permission.
Doctor Zelena immediately apologized to the homeowner for having entered her house without permission.
"Sorry, sorry, sir. I was cornered and came in here. I'll be leaving soon and..."
"Uh.. You're Doctor Zein, right?", replied Doctor Zelena who was very surprised that she was now in front of Doctor Zein.
"Yes, it's me," said Doctor Zein while continuing to read the newspaper.
"What are you doing here, Doctor?", replied Doctor Zelena who was curious.
"I should be the one asking that, this is my house!", replied Doctor Zein who shook his head.
"Oh sorry sorry, ha.. ha..", replied Doctor Zelena feeling awkward.
Since it had happened like this, the two of them inevitably started chatting.
"So why were you chased by those people", asked Doctor Zein who was quite curious.
"The story is complicated," replied Doctor Zelena.
Doctor Zelena then told everything she experienced while she was in the cafe. Starting from when she met the skinny young man to when she was chased.
However, Doctor Zelena did not tell Doctor Zein the reason why she dared to go to the cafe in such a confused state of mind.
In her mind, Doctor Zelena really couldn't get away from the shadow of the man who was in front of her right now.
And if Doctor Zein knew the real reason, he might even be laughed at by Doctor Zein.
"Do you want something to eat or drink?", asked Doctor Zein.
"Eh.. Won't it bother you?", answered Doctor Zelena who felt uncomfortable. Doctor Zein just shook his head.
"Then, I'll ask for cold water, iced water or any drink as long as it's cold.. I feel thirsty and very tired. As for food, it's up to you," replied Doctor Zelena once again.
"Okay, wait a minute", Doctor Zein walked into his house.
Doctor Zein then went to get some small chocolate biscuits and some cold bottled drinks that were in his refrigerator.
Meanwhile, Doctor Zelena was thinking and talking in her heart.
'Whether it was luck or bad luck, I was trying not to think about Doctor Zein anymore. But now, I ended up visiting his house. Damn it!!', Doctor Zelena thought in her mind.
================
(Back to the cafe)
"What..?! Didn't find her?!! How could that be?!!", said the skinny young man whose real name was Andy Arjito or better known as the call Boss Gareng.
Boss Gareng turned out to be very young, only 21 years old, the only child of a corrupt official in Derisa City.
"Yes boss, she runs really fast like a mouse deer boss!!", answered his men making excuses.
"We'll think about that bitch later, now quickly take me to the hospital!!", ordered Boss Gareng who was still holding his wrist because of the pain.
"OK boss! Please!", answered one of his men who immediately took Boss Gareng into his boss's private car.
'No one can escape from Gareng', said Boss Gareng to himself, who was very angry this time.
Boss Gareng's car drove very fast and only needed twenty minutes to arrive in front of the hospital.
Boss Gareng was taken in by several of his men to the Emergency Room to be examined and given some treatment.
================
(Back to Doctor Zein and Doctor Zelena)
"Hey, drink slowly, aren't you afraid of bloating?!", said Doctor Zein who was surprised to see Doctor Zelena who had finished her 5th glass.
"Sorry, I'm really thirsty", replied Doctor Zelena who kept staring at Doctor Zein with greedy eyes while drinking cold water.
'Zelena, you're so embarrassing!!', shouted Doctor Zelena in her heart.
After finishing up to 7 glasses of cold water, Doctor Zelena stopped. Then an "awwgghh" sound was heard.
That was the sound of Doctor Zelena burping loudly, indicating that her stomach was full of water.
"Are you drunk on iced water?" asked Doctor Zein while raising an eyebrow.
"Ha.. ha.. ha.. ha.. ", answered Doctor Zelena who immediately laughed.
"You're as cute as a guinea pig," said Doctor Zelena who suddenly stopped talking after accidentally saying 'guinea pig'.
"You're also funny like a person... an orangutan...", replied Doctor Zein flatly.
"Ha.. ha.. ha.. ha.., Ha.. ha.. ha.. ha.."
" Ha.. ha.. ha.. ha.., Ha.. ha.. ha.. ha.."
And for some reason Doctor Zelena laughed out loud when Doctor Zein said that sentence.
'This joke is so flat, how can she laugh like that?!', said Doctor Zein in surprise.
Hearing the laughter of a woman he didn't know, suddenly Mr. Abdullah came to the front porch and said.
"Zein, read Ta'awoodz, I heard the voice of a female devil, like the voice of a kuntilanak," said Mr. Abdullah seriously.
Kuntilanak: a female ghost dressed in white with lots of blood and messy hair. A typical female ghost from Indonesia
"Is this the devil?!" answered Doctor Zein while pointing at Doctor Zelena who at that time looked very messy.
"Allahu Akbar..", said Mr. Abdullah looking at Doctor Zelena then making silat movements, while saying.
"Don't be fooled, Zein. This devil wears a hijab and very beautiful too!!!", added Mr. Abdullah, on high alert.
Doctor Zein laughed out loud when he heard Mr. Abdullah believes his words. While Doctor Zelena's face turned bright red.
Finally, out of pity, Doctor Zein explained that Doctor Zelena was his coworker at the Hospital and both worked as Doctors.
"You're a fool, Zein..!! Miss, I'm sorry!!", said Mr. Abdullah apologizes to Doctor Zelena.
Doctor Zelena, whose face was still bright red, finally forgave Mr. Abdullah.
But a moment later, Mr. Abdullah returned to his stern face.
"You're Zein, and you, what's your name, Miss? Are you two making out here?!", said Mr. Abdullah suspiciously.
Doctor Zein and Doctor Zelena who heard that, of course they were shocked. They both denied it.
"No.. I'm not making out.. don't joke around, Dad!", answered Doctor Zein who sounded quite panicked at being accused like that.
"Sir, we both are not making out. Trust us!", replied Doctor Zelena.
Doctor Zelena then explained everything again from the beginning, from her visiting a cafe, hitting someone, to being chased by the men of the person she hit earlier and accidentally hiding in this place, which turned out to be Doctor Zein's house. Mr Abdullah just nodded hearing it.
While looking at Doctor Zein's face then turning to look at Doctor Zelena's face, Mr. Abdullah said,
"You two are a good match, harmonious. There are similarities between the two of you. If you're ready, just say the marriage vows", said Mr. Abdullah who smiled as he left Doctor Zein and Doctor Zelena.
Doctor Zein and Doctor Zelena just looked at each other. Then they both looked away because they were embarrassed.
