Friday, midnight, exactly one o'clock. Raffa Ardiantara, drove his car slowly to get to his house safely.

The streets were very quiet that night. Although quiet, Raffa did not dare to drive his car quickly. His condition is very tired at the moment. He's also very sleepy. He was in the hospital all day because he had to take care of some patients. When it comes to speeding, Raffa is worried about returning to the hospital. Not to treat patients. To be treated as a patient. Amit-amit, bye. His inner.

Raffa needs coffee with high caffeine. The house is still quite far away. So, Raffa decided to look for a mini market or roadside stall just to get a cup of coffee.

Raffa turned his car towards a not so big road. The road was quieter than the highway Raffa had been on before. Even the lighting on the road is minimal light.

Raffa's eyes narrowed as his gaze was fixed on the edge of that road. There were some people standing while crowding in a circular position.

"What's that, huh?" Curious, Raffa finally pulled over his car and headed towards the crowd.

"I'm sorry?" The crowd turned towards Raffa. "What's up, huh?" ask Raffa politely.

There were four people on the side of the road. Three of them men. And the only girl. The four of them were silent and did not answer Raffa. They just throw eyes at each other with their mouths shut. It's obvious that something's not right here.

"Woi! Whoi! The man is still alive" one woman screeched.

Raffa slightly advanced his footsteps and how shocked he was. There was a woman kneeling in front of a man who was sprawled with a severe wound on her head.

Raffa swiftly approached the man who was drooping on the ground and immediately checked his pulse. "He is alive and must be taken to the hospital immediately."

"I'm coming!" Raffa looked at the girl before him. The girl's face looked very worried. It was very different from the three men standing behind him. They even look panicked. I don't know. Raffa could not clearly read the look on their faces.

"Can you help me?"

"Can-can!"

"Please open my car door. The door is not my key." The girl nodded her head and immediately walked over to Raffa's car, and then opened it.

Raffa raised the man's body, and wrapped one hand of the man onto Raffa's shoulder.

Raffa turned his head towards the four people who were standing nervously. "Can anyone help me?"

"Can I come?" The girl who was standing in front of the door of Raffa's car called out with a face that was still visibly agitated.

Raffa nodded his head, "please!" he said as he walked towards the door near the wheel of the car.

"Wait!" the man who helped Raffa held the hand of the woman who was about to get into Raffa's car. "Seriously, Al? We shouldn't have to follow along. We're going back, huh."

The woman removed the man's hand. "Gue has to come, Yo! My precious things are the same as that guy. Go all back first! I'll go back if my business is gone. Just relax!"

"But—"

The woman did not care about her friend and chose to get into Raffa's car.

"Come, Mas!" said the girl while holding the head of the man who was full of such wounds.

Raffa gives a long clean cloth to the girl. "You can wrap that bloody head up!" Raffa's orders.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Please always pay attention to the victim! Let me know if anything happens to her."

"Good!" Raffa glanced at the woman through the rearview mirror of her car. The girl looks disheveled. The sleeves of the black shirt he was wearing, he rolled up to his shoulders. Even the long jeans he uses look hollow in the thighs to the knees. His appearance made Raffa think no-no.

What do you want this girl out at night?

How, could he be at the scene of the victim's accident? What was he doing before?

Who were the three people? Her clothing style is almost percis with this woman. What friend? Is this victim his friend too?

Ah, Raffa's dizzy. He should be resting now. Why did he go back to the hospital, and why was he thinking about the woman behind him.

I hope nothing is strange.
