ELLA AND MICHAEL

ELLA AND MICHAEL
Michael took off his ID card.



“Good.”


Without thinking, Michael took off his identity card attached to the uniform, then gave it to the manager and walked out of his room.


Michael headed to the dressing room, then took off his uniform and put on the shirt and jacket he was wearing on his way out.


Michael said goodbye to all the staff and friends there.


All the staff felt very lost, because Michael was one of the nurses who was very smart in dealing with people in mental disorders.


But Michael's friends couldn't help him, because firing Michael was a decision from the manager, while his friends were just staff.


After shaking hands with all his friends, Michael walks out of the building and leaves the mental hospital.


Michael walked away from his workplace, without the slightest regret.


And so is Ella. Ella was already in the car with Tom and Feli driving. They're going to the hotel where Ella's staying.


Ella never came home. He always stayed in an apartment, and moved when he was getting bored with the apartment.


In the car, Tom bumps into Ella who has caused the mess she has created.


“Good. Let's just say today's event was a mess, due to the commotion made by the patient who was about to run away. But what about the stabbing? How to explain?”


“I heard that one of the hospital staff was injured. What if they get the news?”


“Gosh. ‘The author of the children's fairy tale books swings a knife. Is it possible to have the next novel in the martial genre?’ What if such news comes up?”


“Use my money. You know, isn't it, I have a lot of money? Don't you do that often? You covered up all the mess I've made, using money.”


Ella remained calm and did not feel the slightest guilt, for the incident.


“What if it doesn't work?”


“Then use my charms to seduce, or you can add the amount of money two, triple.”


Tom gave up on hearing Ella's annoying answer.


Upon arriving at the hotel, Ella got out of the car, and entered the hotel without saying goodbye or greeting Tom who had driven her.


When Ella gets inside, Tom calls his man to find out the identity of the mental hospital nurse who was impaled by Ella.


“Halo? Its me. Please give me the nurse contact that Ella stabbed. Quickly give it to me! I had to do something to keep his mouth shut. You know this isn't the first time.”


“Good. I'll wait for news from you.”


Tom turned off his phone and told Feli, turned the car around and left.


***


That night, Michael was at the bar alone. He ordered a small bottle of Whiskey to accompany him that night.


Michael has been at the bar ever since his return from the mental hospital.


He pondered alone and thought about what he would do after being fired from his job.


After finishing a bottle of Whiskey, Michael leaves the bar, walking to the bus stop.


He sat back and pondered while holding his bandaged hand, because it was pierced.


After a while Michael waited for the bus and never got the bus, a man was seen riding a motorcycle, then stopped right in front of Michael.


The man took off the helmet he was wearing, then got off his bike.


The man wore a jacket that read ‘Green Chicken Interservice’.


“I was delivering food, and saw you sitting by the road like a bum.”


“Jim?” greet Michael.
