In the afternoon, Nayla was on foot to go home, after training the children in a silat padepokan not far from her home. He walked down a quiet looking street.
"Gue kesorean nih like, must be cepet-cepet bentar again magrib." Nayla said to herself while speeding up her pace.
But suddenly from behind her a girl about the same age as her hit Nayla's body until the two fell and sat on the ground covered in asphalt. "Ah...Nylas." Said the girl who recognized Nayla. But unfortunately Nayla did not recognize the girl.
"You know me?" asked Nayla while frowning.
Instead of answering, the girl immediately stood up and prepared to run back. Looks like he's being chased by someone. "Go Nay! I have to go now. Watch yourself!" He shouted at the girl, then ran away leaving Nayla still in her place.
Nayla does not understand what the girl means, she does not even know the girl but why did she tell Nayla to take care of herself?
"That's weird? I think I've met him, but where?" Nayla muttered while trying to remember - remember but unfortunately it turns out Nayla really forgot.
In between his confusion suddenly came two men who were burly and looked like thugs who ran and stopped in front of Nayla. The thug was like chasing someone.
"Hey.... Did you see a girl running this way?" Ask one of the thugs with a breath of excitement.
Nayla was gawking until she finally shook her head. "No." Answer's short. The thug clucked, until another friend pulled the thug's hand to run again.
"Hey.. hurry! He'll be far away. If he escapes, we'll be outraged by the boss." Said the smaller-bodied thug than the one who asked Nayla.
Nayla was still speechless, staring at the two thugs with a deep frown. It was obvious the curiosity he showed on his face. Until Nayla realized when the two thugs had already run a bit away from her. "Ah... Is it possible that the girl who hit me? He also looked like he was chasing people, the two thugs were definitely not his friends. So she....." Without thinking any longer, Nayla immediately ran the two thugs earlier. And while around the corner Nayla lost track of the two thugs, "Where are they?" Mumbled slowly.
Nayla walked slowly, down the sidewalk there was only one street light that had begun to dim. Until the sunlight is gone swallowed by the clouds. The place became sullen.
As he was near a small alley that was rarely passed, he heard the voice of a man who was laughing out loud. With gontai steps and curiosity so great Nayla approached the place. Nayla saw the two thugs standing behind her as if there was something in front of them.
"Hey...." Nayla screamed and made the two goons turn at the same time.
The two thugs turned their heads, then saw the girl who hit Nayla was sitting down while grimacing in pain holding her stomach in the gap of two thugs who stretched out in surprise when she heard Nayla's screams. "Great, someone's watching" said one of the thugs.
"Don't interfere! You wanna die like that girl, huh?" Threaten one of the thugs while shaking his waist. Actually they wanted to leave but unfortunately, the alley was dead-end so inevitably they had to break through the body of Nayla who was standing in the way at the end of the alley there.
"Already done! Let there be no witnesses!" Thugs who are thick-bodied yell at his friend.
"What is that girl?" Nayla gave a sharp glance, she was so surprised when she saw the girl bleed a lot. He could have died if not taken to the hospital.
"Much talk!" The thug immediately threw a punch towards Nayla's face, but Nayla's name was not that if she could not dodge the blow, she beat the two thugs very quickly and precisely. It didn't take long for the hotshot girl to cripple her opponent.
The two thugs looked helpless, their bodies were covered in bruises, there was blood coming out of their noses and mouths. Nayla is about to strike again. But her movements came to a halt as the injured girl called out her name. Nayla immediately turned around and scattered her body to hold the body of the girl who was about to topple to the ground. "Go Nay!" The girl exclaimed as she brushed off the hand of Nayla who touched her body.
Nayla frowned, hearing the girl instead telling her to leave. Doesn't he need help right now? Or does he want to die?
Nayla doesn't care what the girl says. He would not let the girl die silly before him. This is a murder case and the girl must survive for the culprit to be caught. "You need to go to the hospital!" Nayla exclaimed with a slight high tone. The girl then groaned louder as if the pain was raining.
Nayla widened her eyes as she saw a knife still stuck in the woman's stomach. No strings attached Nayla's hand reached out to pull it out to ease the pain.
But unexpectedly the girl screamed. "Don't touch! Go Nayla! Don't mind me! You...." The girl had yet to finish her words her body drooped unconscious.
Nayla was so panicked, she did not listen to the girl's order not to pull out her knife. And with all her might carried the girl until she got a car that would take her to the hospital.

"Ninya..." A familiar voice in Nayla's ear could be heard echoing in the hospital corridor. It was in front of the ICU room where the girl received medical help.
Nayla turned her head and frowned when she saw that came even her close friends. "The ardi?"
"Room here?" Nayla asks when Ardi and his friend are in front of Nayla.
"Gue's here because my cousin got word that his sister was harmed and was taken to this hospital. And said the officer in front of it was indeed a wounded girl who was brought to the ICU room." Ardi said he explained the purpose of his existence at the hospital.
Nayla frowned, she thought for a moment. Who contacted his brother the girl he helped? Though from Nayla did not contact anyone because it was not about the girl.
A pat on Nayla's shoulder resuscitated the girl from her daydream. "Lo why?" Ardi asked astonished at Nayla's expression which was like confusion.
"Eh, it's okay." Nayla shook her head. "The girl is inside. I brought him here." He added that made the sister of the girl come closer.
"How is he doing? Is the wound bad? Who hurt my sister?" The girl named Nina posed several questions to Nayla at the same time.
"He's still inside, the doctor's checking him out. I don't know who they are either, which I'm sure I saw them chasing after him. And I followed him but when I found them, the chick was already drooping on the ground." Nayla explained.
"That girl's called Ana, did you forget? You ever helped her when she was about to pickle that time?" Ardi interrupted the conversation between the two women before him.
Nayla had not had time to comment on Ardi's words, the door of the ICU room opened to distract them and immediately rushed to the doctor who came out of there. "Doctor.... How's my brother doing?" nina asked impatiently to wait.
The doctor opened the mask he was wearing. Seen from the look of his face that is so grim, it can be concluded if the state of the patient inside does not seem to be fine. "Sorry miss, your sister is bleeding too much, we've treated her wound and had a blood transfusion on her. But....." The doctor's words stopped, as if something was stuck in his throat. He was confused what to say.
"But why doctor?" Nina started to panic.
"Now he's still in a coma, his wounds are very deep, a little bit more is going to hit his kidneys, and he's also a little late coming here, so we're having problems handling it, your sister's situation is now critical miss." Said Doctor.
Hearing that Nina drooped limp, her legs seemed to be not strong to support her body to stand, with Ardi's help, Nina sat in the waiting chair. "Prophetically, he's safe." Ardi said soothingly.
Nayla was just silent, she was very sorry for not being able to bring Ana in time, the atmosphere of instant silence was only the sound of a rush of Nina's cries that occasionally sounded.
Until the arrival of two people who immediately recognized the uniform they wore as a police officer made the three people who were waiting in front of the ICU room turned their eyes on the person who came. "Good night, we'd like to ask for information from the lady who was carrying a wounded girl. Who are you two?"
Nayla and Nina look at each other because there are only two women there. Nayla swiftly stood up from her seat. "I'm sir, I brought the girl." I'm Nayla.
"There's someone who reported that there was an attempted murder case near a shophouse, we've investigated it at the scene and we found bloodstains and a knife there, do you know this knife?" the police asked, showing a knife wrapped in a plastic bag.
"Yes, sir, it's a knife that was impaled in the girl's stomach" Nayla replied truthfully.
"Then you can come with us to the police station, for further details, you're suspected of trying to kill the girl." Said a policeman. Nayla was so gasp at hearing that, what the fuck was she being blamed?
"Wait a minute sir, it must be Nayla's misunderstanding helping Ana, so there's no way she's trying to kill him." Sergey Ardi tries to block the police from taking Nayla away.
The police nodded in understanding. They are very wise. "This is still a guess sir, we will investigate it further. Miss Nayla, we're going to interrogate her so that everything is proven."
Nayla let out a long sigh she tried to calm down. "It's okay Ar, I'm not wrong. Just relax! Please tell my parents I'm not coming home tonight." Nayla let the police take her.
Ardi tries to understand, he does not believe that Nayla is doing such a lowly thing, he tries to convince Nina that what he heard from the police is not true, Nayla has no problem whatsoever with Ana. So there's no way Nayla could have hurt Ana.
