Dua puluh lima

Her hands were busy pulling the rope that had been loaded with the big container tires, her expression was even, her eyes glow strong and sharp.

She hasn't finished this even from 3 hours ago.

No matter how blistered the hand was, she didn't know where else to run.

"Ah. "

The blood was starting to bother her, the pain bothered her enough to make her throw the rope away.

"Drink first. "

Her eyes glanced at Abing's presence there, her breath was still blowing heavily, along with the tiredness and pain she was feeling.

"Your hand is injured, I'm trying...

"No need. "

"There is a problem?"

Even she is alive is already a problem, then what other things might not be a problem for her.

"Did you find out yesterday?"

"No. "

"So?"

"I want to be alone. "

"You can't save everything yourself, Nau. "

The footsteps stopped, the same sentence as what Bella had said to her yesterday, but actually what do they all understand about all this crazy stuff, can they help her finish if she just can't make all of this clear?

"So? If I can't keep this alone, what do you want?"

"At least you still have me to tell your problems. "

The laughter echoed through the hall, this was all a joke, she thought.

Everything was too complicated, she forced herself to be fine, to accept all the things that hurt her every day, to take care of other people's feelings without thinking about herself, then when everything seemed to have become a habit, she didn't even realize that her hurting heart made heeself no longer able to feel the slightest happiness.

"You better go, I don't want to be disturbed. "

The sigh sounded frantic, but Abing didn't want to worsen the mood of his boss's Daughter, but before he decided to leave the room, he gave a necklace with his initials, N for Naura.

"Happy birthday Nau, congratulations on reaching the second coconut, this is a special gift I ordered for you, I hope you like it. "

Two taps on her shoulder made Nau freeze, plus a white gold necklace with her initials accompanied by a diamond at the end of the letter N, a necklace that must be very expensive, she thought, maybe this was not the first gift for her from Abing, but so far all gifts have been given by men it still means a lot to her.

The tears that she didn't know how long she had been holding back flowed freely without sobbing, the tightness increased, all her wounds turned into happiness, even if it was for a moment but at least she could still feel it just once.

"Happy birthday Naura, happy 20 years. "

The blowing on the candles is no longer the same, there used to be a lot of annoyance and laughter that sounded in the ears, but today it's just tears.

It's been 2 days Bella has maintained her ego, even though her mother has said that Naura cannot be contacted until now she still doesn't really care.

But like a habit, whether or not Naura is by her side, Bella will still blow out the birthday candles and send her best wishes to her only friend.

The little candle had been extinguished two minutes ago, but her gaze was still directed at the little object, she didn't know what her hopes were for this auspicious day, but one thing that God really wanted to grant her, Naura was more open to her.

"Bella. "

Her attention is divided, Fanya's voice distracts her from her reverie, for the past two days she has shut herself up without being disturbed as she said after Naura left the house, and yes all Bunga and Teguh can do is grant.

"Are you all right?"

Bela chuckled, all of a sudden there was no answer for her. She was used to having Naura in her life, but suddenly she lost the girl and all of her world.

"Hmm, a little. "

"Wanna go for a walk? Aren't you bored in your room all the time?"

"Daniels?"

"He's not here, you told me that you had an accident?"

That shake was very clear to her, even from the beginning Fanya wasn't too happy with Daniel.

According to her, Daniel is a man who doesn't really suit hee Baby girl character. She doesn't want to badmouth someone's character, it's just that she will accept it if it's good for her and her family.

"Mommy has tried to call Nau, but it seems she turned off her cellphone"

Where is she, how are you, what happened to her, is she angry, but the only person who should be angry is herself, why is it the other way around right now.

"Don't worry, just like usual. "

"It's not good if you fight for a long time Bella. "

That sigh sounded resigned, then what did Fanya expect her to do, kneel down and beg for an apology when there were many things she never actually knew about her best friend.

"I'll try to contact Nau later. "

Pelita Harapan Hospital, at 15.30 western Indonesian time, Naura was waiting for the only person who had helped her at that time.

There was no visible expression of her significant emotions, Naura maintained her cold demeanor for whatever it was.

"Ah sorry I thought you were in the parking lot near the ER. "

"I don't want to mince words, here's the money and I've already added it, thanks for all your help, don't worry, this is halal money if that's what you're afraid of. "

"Alhamdulillah, have you recovered? I see your hand has another wound?"

Nau quickly hid her hands in her jacket pockets. She was lazy to explain about this wound and what had happened to her in the past few days.

"I accept yes, I hope we can still meet again later. "

"I hope not. "

Only the smile that Kahfi gave, maybe Naura was still not comfortable being close to him, or indeed Naura was not the type to easily accept new people around her.

"I'm going home first. "

The white jazz car drove away from the parking lot of the private hospital, Kahfi stared at the paper bag containing tens of millions of rupiah in cash with a confused expression, although in the end he knew that Naura was a child from an affluent economy but why could she be stranded on the streets with such a condition? dazed and lots of injuries on her body, then what actually happened to that girl before, abuse?, Controversy?, Sexual violence?, Or what?.

"You are interesting, and I seem interested, I hope we meet again Nau. "

The name Naura suddenly fills his head, not about her beauty, but the mysteriousness of the girl, many things that other people don't know about how Naura is, who she is, where she comes from.

A girl who may still be in her teens with lots of bruises on her body, then what actually happened, she couldn't be that stupid right?, hurt herself for sympathy?.
