Sweet martabak with nuts, chocolate, cheese as a topping, is a joy. Bela couldn't stop screaming happily.

That's good, she thought. Happiness is not only about money, it turns out that there are so many things that they even take for granted that actually give someone pleasure.

One slice of martabak with crunchy edges had already entered her mouth, her mouth was full of praise for its taste.

"Nice. "

"Slow down, I know it's delicious. "

But Bela's gaze was disturbed by two people who had been watching them all this time, all black clothes, black glasses and ahhh... the other one seemed like Bela had seen her.

"Tsk, people are looking at us first. "

"Where?"

Naura was silent, the man was the man who intercepted her at the meeting point at that time, the pushy man she hoped would not want to see her again.

The footsteps drew closer to them, making Naura stop to feed the martabak into her mouth.

"You remember me?" he said.

The two girls' brows furrowed, but the movement of one of the boys made Naura's anger.

"Let me go. "

"This is a new wound, right?" He said demanding.

"Stop being stupid with me. "

"You can report if you can't handle it yourself. "

"Let go of me. "

No less tightly, the man squeezed Nau's hand a little so as not to let go of him.

"I'm a cop, and I can help. "

Naura laughed sarcastically, She could have guessed this from the start, from the way she wanted to know, no one would really care about her wound except Bela, but look at this man in front of her, on what basis does he insist on knowing all this? , emancipation of women? Seriously.

"So if you're a cop, what should I do? Honestly, you've been bothering me a lot, you know, I don't like it when someone cares like you, but instead forces them to know about other people's problems, what do you want if I'm honest? Got a new case? Lo get promoted?"

"Are the police that low in your eyes?"

"If so, why? Are you offended?"

Those eyes were full of anger, because from the start she was very disturbed by all the things this man was doing, Naura don't know what his name was or what his purpose was, the important thing was that Nau didn't like it.

"Fine, I'll never give up trying to find out what happened to you, and I just want to help you, if you're in danger and can't tell the reason it's okay, I'll keep waiting. "

"I think you are mentally ill. "

The tug on Bela's hand made the girl flinch slightly, and she couldn't help but have to go with Nau or else she would be like a fool to be left alone in the shop yard like this.

"That's the girl you mean?"

"Hmm, I wonder why she's so stubborn. "

"accident?"

"If so, why doesn't she use that excuse? I'm sure she's hiding something"

"So what's your plan?"

"I'll find out on my own. "

Maybe for now there are a lot of questions in her head right now, but Bella doesn't have the guts to ask them, She knows exactly if Nau is in a bad mood.

Silence, never even this quiet, even though there is a problem, Nau still wants to reply to her words, but not for now.

"Nau. "

Once again her attention was still with the bruises on Nau's neck, trying to be braver to look and yes. She was quite surprised that almost all of the body on the back of his best friend was already blue which was almost black.

Her brain suddenly rumbled frantically, fear that had not existed suddenly filled her head.

"Stop. "

A tap on her shoulder made Naura startled until she squirmed. Unfortunately, she couldn't hold the steering wheel wildly, so she ended up falling on a road that fortunately wasn't crowded with drivers.

Bella was silent, neutralizing her heartbeat and the pain, she was thrown so far away that she hit the roadblock before being flung far across the street.

"Oh my gosh Bell. "

It was the only sound that reached her ears before an unusually loud hum dominated her ears.

"Help. " She shouted loudly

Nau screamed in panic when the sound of her best friend's breathing began to sound heavy, her chest rumbled with fear, because this road looked deserted and there was no one in sight.

"Abing, I had an accident with Bella, please pick me up" she panicked through a voice note.

As per her wish all her men move quickly, at least they can save Bella before it's too late.

Not waiting long, the white van stopped right in front of them, swiftly some of her men lifted Bella carefully into the car, the breath was heard again, Nau focused on her best friend, her tears fell when she realized there was no one. Bella held her hand back.

"Couldn't you have gone any faster?"

Her words rose along with the never ending fear in her mind, everything seemed so long that not a single moment She waited patiently, curse after curse made her emotions uncontrollable.

"Hurry up. "

Maybe out of many places, the hospital hallway is the place where the most prayers are held, not once They stop saying all kinds of hopes, that life will never end the way they never wanted.

"Bella's family?"

"I'm a friend doc, this is my Uncle. "

"The patient's condition is not stable, there is bleeding on the head and a broken right hand. "

Naura bit her lip scared, what should she tell Bella's parents about this, because this is all her fault.

"The patient will be transferred to the ward in an hour and for now the patient cannot be visited. "

"Okay doc, thanks a lot. "

Zoro returned with Bella's parents, there was no angry expression from both of them, because so far there had been nothing bad that they knew about Nau, even what they saw firsthand.

"Sorry Mom, Dad. "

"why don't you treat your wound?"

"it's okay Mom. "

"Don't lie to me Nau, it's a bruise, the blood is still pouring out, busy thinking about your child and you forgot that Nau was injured too, come with Me. "

The hardness suddenly softened, her footsteps followed the Mother lightly, the pain that she had not felt before, began to bother her.

"Excus me, please clean my girl's wound "

Nau was silent, it wasn't the first time, but it still felt foreign to her, Bella's family was the first to offer a house for her, even though she couldn't use it to go home.

"Sorry, there are so many bruises. "

"Gosh Nau. " she screamed.

These weren't bruises from the accident, but at least Naura had a reason to treat them without having to lie anymore.

"Please treat my girl's wound, nurse"

"Okay ma'am"

Mother's grip felt stronger, only a faint smile that Naura gave to make the 50-year-old woman no longer worry about all this.
