While in line to buy ice, another group of school students suddenly came in a group.
“Hai Lilia...”.
Lilia turned her head because she felt her name being called. He looked seriously at the face of the man who had just called out to him. Fani wanted to get closer to Lilia but was pulled by one of the male friends.
“It used to be beautiful, it was just nyapa doang.”
Fani looked at the man in the ash jacket with a displeased look. Usually he easily detached himself, but the grip of the man's hand was very strong.
“Still inget me not?” asked the man in a jeans jacket to Lilia.
“Who is it?”
The man laughed. “Well, I'm Deon.”
Lilia turned her gaze towards Fani who looked troubled. Deon advanced towards Lilia, the girl retreated but there was someone else who was already behind her.
“Do not shout, tomorrow there is even an unexpected surprise,” whispered Deon in Lilia's ear.
The brown-eyed girl shuddered in horror feeling the intimidation from the man close by once, her body frozen silent.
Some other buyers noticed but immediately ignored it again thinking it was a normal situation for the rogue teenagers now.
“Udah inget same me?”
“I have never known you yes,” said Lilia with an annoyed expression.
“Hihi is very arrogant, even though at that Junior High time you never nolongin me loh.”
Lilia looked in annoyance at the approaching man. “Yuk streets?” whispered Deon again.
Lilia was silent, her breathing now felt heavy. The whisper in his ear feels amused while making him nauseous. He looked around hoping someone would see and chase away the goddamn men.
“When I've been spit-spet here so told you here, but even ignored.”
Deon smiled and pulled out his phone. “I have something interesting here, want to see?” deon said while playing his phone.
“Jalan jalan sama me, I'm sure your temen will be safe,” said Deon again.
“Lilia!”
Everyone in the ice vendor's place turned their heads because they heard a loud scream.
“Yah, dateng bully. I go first baby, come to lake N later malem at 19.30, hehe.”
Deon moved away as soon as he saw Reza approaching. “Lu why b*ngsat?!”
“Oi casual dong ya noble Reza hehe, I just nyapa old temen kok.”
“Inya? Temen?” Reza glanced towards the pale-looking Lilia.
Deon gave his friend a cue to leave. The man who had been holding Fani's hand also took it off and moved away.
Reza actually wanted to beat up the man, just that while many were watching. “Lilia, are you okay?”
Lilia who had just froze in place stared at Reza with a frightened expression. The black-eyed man stroked Lilia's head slowly, trying to calm her down.
Fani is approaching. “Lili sorry, I wanted to stop but my hand was held.” Fani showed her wrists flushed.
“Hey, why are you? You are nothing, right?” ask Reza again.
Lilia's eyes glazed over, it was the first time Lilia felt a heavy feeling of discomfort and made it seem as if she was having trouble breathing.
Reza slowly grabbed Lilia's hand. ‘Cock his hands cold?’ reza said in his heart.
“Lili,” call Reza soft, he was worried about Lilia who had been silent before.
“Pull breath slowly, it's okay, they're gone, I'm here,” Reza said again.
Lilia moved her face, her eyes looking at Reza with a strange look. “Reza?”
Tes..Lilia's eyes that had glazed over with that blank look finally returned to normal, her tears fell.
“Ugh... hiks.. hiks.” Lilia covered her face. Now that his body was trembling, he recalled the threat that Deon had thrown some time ago.
The confused Reza finally hugged the girl to calm down. The man looked towards Fani who was also confused.
“Waduh mas, it was temennya was bullied yes?” ask one of the ice shop guards.
“Bapak saw earlier, why not helped?” reza said with a annoyed expression.
“Sorry mas, I think the temen, because they are used to come here also mas.”
Reza was silent, letting Lilia cry, she occasionally stroked the girl's head.
After a while, Lilia's consciousness began to return. Realizing that someone was hugging him in a public place made him push slowly the man's body.
“Emm, thanks, I'm okay.”
Fani from earlier let it be because he was also confused what to do. The three men moved, sitting on the right side of the tavern, under a mango tree.
“You know the guy earlier?” ask Reza.
“Just just know anyway, he's his girlfriend Zora,” replied Lilia slowly.
“Hah so it's her boyfriend Zora?”
“Iya, it was the time you came with Gio already I explained.”
Reza massaged his forehead which suddenly hurt. “I think not that Deon, he has been famous for a long time until now as well as rumors, the most recent maybe you do not know.”
“What?”
“Last year he sold blackmail to his ex, ngancem want to spread their videos.”
Lilia fell silent, she remembered Deon's threat earlier. Fani who had been listening earlier actually still did not understand what Lilia and Reza meant.
“So far she said what?” ask Reza.
Lilia clenched her hands. “She asked me to meet her later tonight at 19:30, she said my meeting would be safe if I wanted to meet her.”
“Your menu?” Reza frowned.
“What does Zora mean?” said Fani who began to understand the direction of the conversation of his two friends.
Lilia flinched, she scrunched her forehead. “She's dating Zora, but why do people tell me to meet her?”
“No need to terrorize him, let me go there later,” said Reza with angry exprei.
“You know Deon, Za?”
“Sekedar know because his parents my grandfather's business partner in the city.”
Lilia was silent, her feelings were uneasy, let alone Deon saying about one's safety.
“Just do not meet him, if he disturbs directly contact me,” said Reza emphasized.
The brown-eyed girl could only endure her pity. Actually he did not want to be in a situation like this, let alone his relationship with Reza was not too close.
“Iya,” said Lilia after a long silence. He immediately finished the ice he bought.
“Yaudah yuk back, I anter also you guys to be safe.”
“Za, lu anter Lilia yak, I want to go to pakde place,” said Fani with a serious expression. He actually felt upset because of this incident. Though he had learned basic martial arts, but his strength could not be compared with the grasp of the man earlier.
“Oke.”
The three men moved from their seats. Lilia was driven by Reza while Fani immediately drove his motorbike at high speed.
‘Do I need to learn martial arts?’ lilia muttered in her heart.
While driving Lilia home, Reza stayed on the way. He felt angry, but he deliberately stayed away from Lilia so that there was nothing bad around him that would affect the brown-eyed girl. But something else happened when he tried to change.
