ETHEREUM

CHAPTER 3

•••

Raffa's views look very serious. The man with the snelli wrapped in his burly body, is now looking at a paper containing patient data that he helped last night.

"After this we will do an X-ray to check if there are any internal injuries on your body" Raffa told the patient.

The patient Raffa spoke to, only occasionally nodded to answer Raffa's words. His whole body was still very painful. Last night was a nightmare for him.

"Hmmm, Doctor?" Raffa turned his head and approached the patient.

"Can I help you?" ask Raffa.

"I heard from the nurse earlier ... said the Doctor, yes, who helped me last night?" ask the patient.

"Yes, right. Last night I just happened to pass by" replied Raffa.

The patient closed his eyes deeply. His memory goes back to last night's events.

It was almost midnight. The man who had just finished his work shif immediately left his workplace exhausted. He was eager to get to his house by then. But good luck is not on his side. The man who drives the motorcycle alone in the alley with minimal lighting. Being the target of a crime in the middle of a lonely night.

The man had increased the speed of his motorbike to avoid the begal who started following him from behind. Nor did he stop praying to be saved from the crime. But the four legs were not a balanced opponent for the man. Finally, the man ended up like he is today. After she tried so hard to save herself. And it turns out he's incapable.

He did not remember how they managed to bring his cell phone, wallet and motorcycle. Which he remembers. Only when he tried to avoid the begal and he hit the sidewalk, to make him fall and unconscious.

Ah, he also remembered. His hand held the neck of one of them. If his memory is not wrong. It looks like it's a woman.

"Sorry, I almost forgot to ask your name. Since last night's incident. I'm not finding your identity. Maybe your phone and wallet are gone from the accident."

"My stuff is not gone. But it was stolen, "attend the patient and make Raffa rather shocked.

"And my name is Dawn. Dawn Ardiansyah."

Raffa wrote the patient's name to the patient's data paper in his hand.

"By the way, Doc. When the doctor found me last night. Am I alone there? Did the Doctor see any of the booty that robbed my motorbike, my cell phone and my wallet?" ask the patient it– Dawn.

Raffa tried to remember clearly the incident last night. He tried to remember how many people he met at the scene.

"There's someone else besides you. One female. And three men" said Raffa.

"Are they all wearing black? The woman with long hair. And among the three men there are who have a height that is almost the same as the Doctor. What do they look like?" ask the Dawn enthusiastically.

Raffa scrunched his forehead. Not because he was confused. But he felt something strange about this incident. And everything Dawn says is as precise as the characteristics of the person she saw last night. Including Alia.

"really. They're all people I saw last night" Raffa replied.

"Dok ... They're the culprits. Those who have been scuttering me."

Raffa was standing in front of the patient. He could not really believe what Dawn said. Not accusing Dawn of lying. It's just that he really didn't think that the people he found last night were the culprits. Alia is one of them.

Raffa felt like something was wrong. But this was not what he expected.

He did not expect. The woman who was just a moment ago sat down before him and told him a sad thing in front of Raffa. Turns out he was a criminal.

•••

Alia quiet. The woman did not dare to straighten her head as she was stared unblinkingly by the person before her. The person who was looking at Alia with a sharp look was just silently waiting for Alia to start the conversation.

Alia glanced at the three dead things lying on the bed that the person in front of Alia was sitting on. A smart phone, a motorcycle key, and a dark brown leather wallet.

“Sorry .... ” One word that slid from Alia's mouth managed to break the silence in the room.

The person in front of Alia smiled with a grin. “That's very easy, yes, sorry. Stay by the way, but I'm here who suffers.” Alia's eyes glanced at the person with a feeling of fear.

“I will be responsible,” said Alia.

The man grinned as he said, “so good you want responsibility. Costin my hospital fee can?”

Alia nodded with a slow rytme. Somehow he could pay for all of this guy's treatment costs, it wasn't important. Maybe Alia can steal or rob later.

“Where are your other friends? Ninggalin lo all?” ask the person with a sharp intonation.

“They have no business here,” replied Alia with her head still down.

The man, who was leaning on the white bed in the patient's room, clucked. “Nelakuin crime together. The time that sacrificed was only one person. Kasian really lo,” his lips and make Alia's heart feel stuck.

Alia breathed out slowly. Trying to dampen his emotions that have begun to boil. If only she had not been in this 'anti-fuss' place, Alia would have punched and hit the face of the person whose face was already full of bruises by now.

“Sorry Sir I don't know whose name you are. My goal here is not just to apologize and return your belongings. There are other things that make me dare to show myself in front of you.” Alia started to feel like her words just sounded too formal.

“Why? You want to bow at my feet so I don't report you to the police, hm?”

Raffa, who had been sitting on the sofa, did not want to interfere to argue. His job in the hospital room in the Dawn was just to watch over the two. Afraid that there will be a fistfight. Especially when she finds out that Alia is not like women in general.

“This what does it mean?” asked the person–Fajar, looking at Alia's palm in confusion.

“Lo pulled my necklace. I'm sure my necklace is the same. So we're tukeran now! I have lo balikin. Lo balikin got me.”

“Gue doesn't understand! What necklace? Which necklace do you mean?”

“Please, don't joke!” alia's Word. His voice sounded soft.

“Shirting what? I just feel like you're kidding here. You bring all the loot you took from me. And suddenly now you turn it all around in the hope that I turn back the necklace that I don't even know where. What is your motive exactly?! Or maybe you want me to give forgiveness and let you guys be free without the police case,” accuse Dawn to Alia.

The dawn took a long breath. His jaw was a little sore from talking too much.

“Gue is better in jail than the necklace is gone.” Alia's shrill voice made the two men who were in the room, looking at her in disbelief.

Dawn looked at Alia's hand that was slowly descending. A little while later, Fajar looked at Alia who looked like she wanted to cry.

The dawn grunts. He doesn't like this feeling. A feeling in which he feels sorry for others. He would most not like to be bothered by others. Moreover, this woman in front of him was a criminal. Strange as it was, when he had to help the person who had actually been abusing him.

“Who is the name lo?” ask Fajar to Alia.

Alia was silent for a moment, then replied, “Alia,” she replied briefly.

Dawn nodded and then told Alia to come closer to the side of her bed. Dawn stared at Alia from head to toe.

Well-favoured.

One word came to Dawn's mind as she watched Alia intensely. According to Fajar, the beauty of Alia is different. His clothes and behavior were far from graceful. But she looks so sweet without makeup.

A pair of Fajr eyes narrowed. His gaze was fixed on Alia's neckline which felt foreign in her eyes. There was a scratch scar on Alia's neck that was quite long.

The wound on Alia's neck, obtained when she ran from the pursuit of market thugs for snatching money from the hands of the thugs. Because he ran. Audy hit a tree and her neck hit a broken twig. Fortunately, the woman was not caught by thugs whose faces were very sad, smelly, and perverted.

Audy flicked her long hair to the front of her chest as she felt uneasy with the gaze of Dawn. Though Dawn does not look to the ‘itu’ section. But in Audy's heart, she accused him of all sorts.

“Sorry,” says Dawn. “Gue don't see anything else, really. But your neck is like something,” he continued and made Audy and Raffa look at him confused.

“Gue sure that I've seen that wound.” Dawn then looked at his palm. “And my hand seemed to have ever held that wound. But I don't remember when.”

“Enight.” Dawn looked at Audiy as the woman said one word earlier. “Lo had pulled my neck when you fell from the motor. But because my friend who was at that time memgeboncengin me motor, he immediately release your hand from my neck. Keep on falling. And my necklace came off. And I'm sure it happened when you grabbed my neck.”

“Ah .. ” sigh Dawn as her memory begins to be recorded clearly in her memory. “So, that's lo?”

Audy nodded. “So where's my necklace? It must be in lo, right?”

“Not there! I felt like I was holding something that night. But I didn't know it was a necklace,” refuted Dawn.

“Do not lie! You can jail me, as long as you flip my necklace,” exclaimed Audy feel confident with his words. He was very sure that his necklace was on Dawn.

“Kok now the effect is like me who turned here, well?!” Dawn's speech sounded flat, but it felt like it was touching Audy's heart.

Raffa got up from the sofa with a sigh that blew from his nostrils. The guy was approaching Audrey. Then, patting Audy's shoulder slowly but able to make the woman turn towards him.

Raffa's eyes locked onto Audy's gaze. I don't know why Raffa's gaze shone in his eyes. Feels soothing. Especially when the tip of the man's lips is pulled to the side forming a sweet smile.

“Audy, what Dawn said was true. No necklaces or anything. When she got here, me and the other nurses found nothing. Including that necklace.” Instantly, Audy's body felt slammed from the tallest building into the hot asphalt.

If what Raffa said a few seconds ago is true. That means her precious necklace has been lost.

“If it is not the same me, it means fall, tuh.”

Audy's face instantly paled. If what Dawn says is true, it happens. What's he here for? The necklace she had, was the only relic of Audy's parents before they left Audy at the orphanage. That thing can't be lost. Her parents left her somewhere. Audy wouldn't want that necklace to leave her, too. Even if it's just a thing.

“It looks like you can't pay for my treatment fee huh? Your necklace is gone, huh! What will you pay for it to wear? Though the necklace can be sold to increase my medical expenses. Is it me?”

“No! I will never sell that necklace. ”

The dawn laughed disdainfully. “Lo is maling. Find a jewelry store in the market! Keep on robbing! Lo gasak all the sightseeing there. Don't cry just because of one necklace!”

Audy's hands started to clench. His face began to harden. He dislikes it the most when someone starts to take something valuable for someone else lightly.

“Gue is going to elo! I can pay for your medical expenses. And I can also meet the necklace,” said Audy firmly and immediately stepped out of the room with a hardened facial expression.

“Hoi!” Dawn cried out to Audy who had already left the room. “That's so bad ****.”

Raffa was silent for a moment until he finally came out of the room, intending to catch up with Audy.

“Dok!” The dawn again screamed. This time I tried to call Raffa. “OK ready I left.”
