"Is that what you brought?" Doni woke up from his sleep, he rubbed his eyes, then sat down next to me.

"It's a little present for you, I'm not sure you'll like it. But I hope you like it" I gave you the parcel I bought earlier.

Doni seemed happy with the small gift I gave, I leaned my head on the shoulder Doni drowsiness began to come to me, it did not take long I was asleep on his shoulder, too, Doni immediately carried me to move my skinny body onto the bed.

Next day..

As usual Doni would drive me to work every 9pm, this time he looked panicked and hurried.

The little gift that I bought yesterday she wore it all, I felt the awkwardness in Doni. But, all that I pat away. I don't want to argue just because of unclear prejudices.

"Lock, you're late tonight" Doni immediately picked up the bike, he was waiting for me in front of the boarding house.

"Kok you rush anyway, it should be me who is in a hurry, who works also me" I rode the motorbike Doni turned on the motor stater he carried the motor at high speed.

The streets of the capital are still crowded tonight, everyone is still passing by with their respective activities, especially this is Sunday night. The young ladies came out to just hang out, the road was quite jammed because of it.

"I anterin you got here yeah, look ! follow this path, before the red light on the left there is a pawnshop office, well before the office is where you work. I can't get you there because the road is jammed and you're too late if you have to take the road later you get into trouble" Doni stopped right at the crossroads, he pointed at the straight path ahead there that ended with a red light. Without further ado I followed Doni's instructions, with fear plaguing my mind. How not? this place is still so foreign to me, even I have never walked alone in this place let alone in the darkness of the night.

In this vulnerable place, all kinds of evil can easily meet anyone who walks alone. Like one week ago someone found the body of a woman who seemed to have died from being robbed at once in rape and her body dumped in the river right next to where I work.

The news that I suddenly remembered scared me even more and accelerated my pace, the streets looked a bit dark because of the lighting that only came from their passing vehicles.

TING TENG

Irregular breath and sweat that keeps flowing makes my body weak.

"Why are you so bored?" Asked Brother Desy, he let me in and locked the gate.

"I'm a walk from the crossroads there" I pointed at the road I meant.

"How dare you walk from there. Which is vulnerable again, next time you order a gojek, later let brother pay"

"Yes my brother"

I sat in chair, starting my work by slicing onions and celery. While waiting for orders that are getting crowded night.

CRANE

"Yes, why?" I picked up the phone that kept ringing.

"Is Doni still there? she's not home yet" the princess called me.

I was so cool with my job that I forgot to call Doni, Doni didn't tell me like I always did. Usually he'll call me to tell me if he's back at the boarding house.

When the time has shown at 00:30 pm, I began to panic worried about the state of Doni, especially the Princess has not also informed me when it was 30 minutes ago he called me.
