164. A Unique Meeting



The car that Rex was riding in entered Jakarta in the afternoon. As usual, the highway is quite crowded in the afternoon because it is the same as the return to work hours.


" Duh is stuck again..," complained some passengers while looking out the window with a huff.


" Patience Sir, Mom. Understandably already entered Jakarta which is famous as a city jammed..," said the driver of the travel car from behind the wheel.


" Yes sir, gapapa. Slowly, no need to speed the important safe..," said a female passenger who is carried by most passengers including Rex.


" There's no other way, sir...?" ask one of the passengers impatiently.


" If there's another way, we can't go there, sir. The road is jammed, so the car can only follow the flow of vehicles. If you want to go there automatically cut the current, ntar even added chaos and scolded the same other driver, sir.," said the driver of the travel car while smiling wryly.


The passenger fell silent and then leaned back on the back of the car. The atmosphere in the car was calm again. The sound of music that is deliberately stamped by the driver of the travel car is quite entertaining and diverts the boredom that arises due to traffic jams out there.


Suddenly a scream was heard from one of the female passengers. Rex who was almost closed was surprised and also stared at the direction pointed by the woman.


" O God is so cute, girl...!" said the woman while pointing out the window.


Out there is a woman fighting two large-bodied men believed to be thugs. Apparently the woman was trying to snatch her bag which was snatched by the two thugs. Her hair that was originally neatly coiled looks disheveled because I have to fight after the two thugs.


Rex was moved to help because he saw the position of the woman was a little desperate. Rex opened the car window and jumped out.


Rex arrived on time. By the time Rex arrived at the scene of the fight, the woman had almost lapsed backwards out of balance when landing on the ground after jumping to avoid her opponent's attack. Moreover, the woman did use high heels at that time.


Rex held the woman's body and then kicked the two thugs quickly until the two men staggered back while holding each other's stomachs. Rex movement that is fast and on target gets applause from the passengers of the car.


" Are you gapapa Ma'am...?" rex asked while looking at the woman.


" I'm ga...., Captain Rex...?!" call the woman out loud to make Rex startle and open his eyes in confusion.


" Mother teacher Elvira...?!" rex said he couldn't believe it.


" yes. Uh, but for a second. My Bag Captain...!" sahut Elvira while pointing at the two thugs who ran away while carrying his bag.


Rex turned his head and rushed after the two thugs followed by Elvira behind him. A chase ensued on the sidewalk. The two big-bodied thugs looked exhausted after running for a while. The opportunity was not wasted by Elvira. He stopped and took off his shoes and threw them at the two thugs.


Platikk !!


" Open...!" scream one of the thugs while holding the back of his head.


" Yes...!" elvira said loudly.


Realizing his throw was right on target, Elvira cheered happily. It made Rex smile. Then with a swift Rex continued chasing another thug who ran while carrying Elvira's bag.


Then Elvira rushed over to the thugs who stopped running because of being hit by his throw earlier.


" Reverse my bag...!" elvira said loudly while pulling the collar of the thug shirt.


The thug grimaced then pointed at his friend who was being chased by Rex.


" Lo Bag is like him, not like me." said the thug.


Elvira looked at the direction the thug pointed at and smiled when she saw Rex managed to snatch the thug friend and bring him before her.


" Yes yes Bang...!" say that thug while returning Elvira's bag.


Elvira grabbed quickly the bag that was thrust towards her. After handing over Elvira's bag, the two thugs rushed to leave Elvira and Rex.


Seeing Rex and Elvira defeat the two thugs, the passengers in the long-drawn car cheered. Inevitably Rex and Elvira also smile at the highway users who support them.


Then Elvira began to check the contents of her bag. Rex seemed to be patiently waiting while continuing to observe the situation around them.


" Well, what's wrong...?" ask Rex.


" Thank God all is safe, Captain. Thank you, ., '" said Elvira with a smile.


" All together. How, you can pickpocketing anyway...?" rex asked as he watched Elvira from head to toe.


At that time Elvira looked chaotic. Some of his blouse appears out of the waist of his trousers. Her hair was broken. Don't forget the shoes that live next door. Because the model heels Elvira shoes are quite high, so when Elvira does not wear one of them makes the position of the establishment look funny. Rex tried to hold back the laughter of seeing the condition of the tough woman before him.


" Apes again Captain, usually also gapapa really. I will often pass by here but only this time snatched..," said Elvira relaxed to make Rex shake his head.


Soon the vehicle flow returned to normal. Rows of snaking cars also slowly decompose and the road becomes smooth. The travel car that Rex boarded also seemed to approach while honking.


" Want to come with us or take a Taxi Mas army...?" ask the driver kindly.


" I took a Taxi, sir. Thank you, ., '" Rex said.


" Yes, we are both. It's better to take her boyfriend first than to go home but the mind is not calm." said the driver as he glanced at Elvira.


Elvira was surprised to hear the travel driver's words to make the driver and all the passengers of the travel car laugh. Then the travel car drove with all the passengers waving towards Rex and Elvira.


Rex returned the wave of their hands while laughing.


" Why laugh Captain...?" elvira asked not to understand.


" Gapapa, again want to laugh..," said the original Rex.


Hearing Rex's answer made Elvira shake her shoulder because she did not understand the meaning of the Captain's words.


" Now you want to walk in the shoes next door or want to come with me to take a Taxi...?" rex asked as he glanced at Elvira's feet.


As if it had only been realized if it was only wearing one shoe, Elvira rushed to her shoes lying not far from where they were standing.


" Yeah.., broken..," muttered Elvira in a disappointed tone.


Rex could not help but laugh at Elvira's expression. Unable to be laughed at made Elvira upset. He threw his broken shoe at the garbage dump near the sidewalk.


" Ish, bummer" said Elvira, pursing her lips.


" No need to use all prestige. Come on up..," take Rex out of the blue while opening the back door of the Taxi that stops right in front of him.


Smiling shyly Elvira nodded then entered the taxi. Before long Taxi was speeding up carrying a pair of passengers who were reunited in a unique way.
