Maybe this morning the sky was overcast, but not this afternoon. After Anja's arrival, and they spoke at length, Dira's heart calmed down. He was also more excited about living his life.
"This situation may make us unable to be together, but trust me, I will always be watching you, and will always protect you from Mika," said Anja rubbed Dira's cheek which was again wet with tears.
She was not crying out of sadness, but moved, Anja could calm herself down. For Dira, Anja is the sun.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get you to work. I really, really want to but we don't know where Mika's spy is, anyway," said Anja holding Dira's hand.
"Yes, I understand. No papa really, Ja," replied Dira smiled sweetly and then took a taxi that had been ordered by Anja, which was, even the man paid the cost of Dira which made Dira feel flattered because even the smallest thing was noticed by Anja.
Before getting into the taxi, Dira still circulated her gaze, looking around, making sure the figure she had avoided earlier, but there was none. Even the stalls of Mr. Jono where their school mischievous children hang out also look lonely.

Today, Dira works till night. If the store is usually closed at nine o'clock, for this time it is different. Some are booking their cafe, a group of young people who are having a birthday, so the cafe boss asks Dira for overtime and will certainly add to the Dira bonus.
The girl was not a problem, just happy because there was no need to go home too soon.
"You I'll take you, okay?" said sturdy cafe owners who tumben-tumbenan present in the cafe. Usually there is only Yayuk, the person who has been trusted by him to take care of the cafe.
"Oh, no need, Koh. Thanks though. I go home aja, later in the T-junction ride ojek," said Dira did not want to trouble. After all he must have been very disinclined, what the other employees said.
"Relatedly? No papa, really. I also want to go home," said the handsome man of Chinese descent was friendly.
"Yes, Koh. No papa. I have to take this too. Sturdy first," he replied shyly.
After all the work was done, Dira said goodbye to other employees to go home first. His heart was overjoyed, he spoke with Anja the other day, and tonight he got the envelope as a bonus from the cafe owner. The money will be saved in savings to increase the cost of his studies.
When the heart is happy, the journey in darkness and desolation does not become scary. Dira had arrived at the intersection of three places where he used to wait for the base taxi that ran there, but there was no one. Dira was still waiting, until from a distance there was the sound of a motorbike roar. Not one but many, and not from one direction, but two different directions and unfortunately he is in the middle.
In front of his eyes a crowd of people on a motorbike shouted between the roar of the motor and the noisy exhaust. Without waiting for long, once the two camps had faced each other, the bikers just stopped by throwing their bikes, they said, then with guns in hand began to come to other motorcycle gangs who became their opponents.
Mutual blows are inevitable. And Dira, in the midst of his shock, could only look at the incident so dumbly that he could not move his legs to get away from there, although his subconscious had already sent a signal that when the situation was very dangerous and he should have gone from there, but Dira was still stunned there observing fights, beatings with beams and other sharp weapons.
A man was thrown near his feet, his head covered in blood. Dira wanted to scream, really, she was scared, but she just froze there.
The man who caused the man to be sprawled again came to his victim with a beam in hand. Dira could not bear to see the man would hit the victim who had fainted again, Dira took a step forward to raise his hand so that the man stopped, but the drunk-looking man ignored the mark from Dira and swung the beam until it almost hit Dira, lucky that the girl immediately lowered her head, then the man who was about to hit him fell to the ground.
However, without realizing Mika, an enemy from behind came to attack her, then stabbed Mika's back with a dagger until the man collapsed, kneeling on the ground, with eyes still staring at Dira's eyes.
"Woi, we're doing this to the chairman! Here, we're ranting. He's dying!" shouted the man with a happy heart.
The man's shout brought some men closer lustfully to beat Mika up. Dira who saw that was of course very panicked. Those five people could make Mika die instantly.
Dira still saw Mika's eyes trying to tell her to leave, in between there was pain she felt.
"Go from here. Save yourself!"yelling Mega tried to dispel the intention of Dira who was actually getting closer to Mika wanted to make sure that the wound on the man's back did not make him die.
The five people had already surrounded Mika, it made Dira even more panicked. He turned to the hand of the man who had been kicked by Mika until he fell on the ground and fainted.
Spontaneous Dira pulls and picks up the beams that were made into weapons by them. Without thinking anymore, Dira hit the back of someone among the five who were preparing to finish off Mika. Feeling in pain and not expecting to get a blow from the girl, the man with a sideburn turned his head to see Dira.
The girl was frightened until the beam came off and fell right next to Mika. Not wanting to waste a chance, Mika grabbed the beam then stood up. His strength returned instantly because he did not want the bewok to touch and hurt Dira.
Blindly, Mika fought against the five people. The wound increased by one, one of them slashed until his stomach was scratched and poured fresh blood.
Seeing that, Dira could only scream in shock, observing the fight with fear. In pain, Mika fought all five until she fell battered on the ground.
"Lu ain't papa?" mika asked closer, examined Dira's body, then twisted the girl's body to make sure more.
"I'm not papa, but you? Look at the back of your stomach that was injured," Dira said with a usual panic. Don't let Mika die.
"Gua don't papa, you go home there!" mika exclaimed just as the man staggered back down to the ground.
One of his friends, who was a little different from using a duck motorbike approached. "Mika, you don't papa? The gang of berewoks came again. Awake, Mika. You should leave immediately, you're again this badly injured. Let them take care of us" said Mika's friend.
However, Mika had lost her patience, she had more and more blood coming out until her clothes were already drenched in blood.
"Lu, Mika's friend? Can you get him out of here?" the man asked Dira after observing the girl.
"Huh? But I can't take Mika's big bike," replied Dira spontaneously.
"Lu can take my bike, take Mika away from here if you don't want her to die!"
