That night, a strong wind was accompanied by a flash of lightning and the rumbling sound of thunder was earthy. A girl galloped towards a building, she gasped for breath.
His eyes were staring at his surroundings, he was terrified as if avoiding someone who was chasing him.
Ctarrs!
The sound of lightning shocked him, as the sound of lightning emitting its rays could be seen the shadow of someone behind the wall was watching him.
"Oh my God, save me." the girl muttered in fear.
Faintly seeing the shadow getting closer to him, he ran towards a staircase of the building.
The building is a stacking house building, there is no elevator there only stairs as a means for residents to enter and exit the building.
That girl, Ericka. Try as hard as possible to run up the stairs, while the floor is quite high, is on the 6th floor and quite draining energy if running up.
Dugm! Dugm! Dugm!
The sound of his feet echoed, occasionally he glanced down making sure no one was chasing him. But the shadow drew closer to him.
"Oh my God, what's my fault! Why does this keep happening to me!" muttered.
When he was on the floor, he opened the door of the stairs surprised that someone was standing in front of the door.
"Akh!" his yell.
"Sheel! Hey, it's me" said the man.
Ericka saw Stanley looking at her in surprise, Ericka turned her head back to see no one there.
"Why? Why are you pale so, chased after by demons well?!" ledek Stanley while whining.
"Ti-nobody!" answer Ericka ketus.
He passes Stanley to his current home, more precisely Stanley's.
"Why are you standing there? Just be surprised!" grouse Ericka.
"I came to see you, but you don't exist. I want to go home again, keep seeing you there. Where did you sweat from yourself?!" ask Stanley.
"I'm from the outside, looking for food" Ericka answered.
"I told you, if there's any need to ask me or not you can tell the neighbors" replied Stanley casually.
Ericka smiled wryly at Stanley's words, she knew what she had to do. It is not so easy to ask or talk like that to their neighbors.
Because not everyone is nice to him, there are some people who don't like him. Some do not like it because he is Asian, or jealous of Stanley there is also because of the disgust to see it because of his injured face.
"No, I can make my own money" Ericka replied.
Stanley looked at his face fixed, he could see the look of that sad face. She was eager to caress that beautiful hair but she had to hold back.
"Hold Stanley, you have to be self-conscious!" he murmured in the heart.
Earlier.
That afternoon Ericka came out of the house and wanted to join the neighbors, they usually sat in front of the balcony of the floor was devoted by the residents of the flats.
But not everyone likes it, especially the girls on the floor. The news of Ericka as Stanley's wife has spread, the girls who liked the man are heartbroken and vent it to Ericka.
"So your name is Ericka? Stanley's wife?" asked one of them while looking at Ericka cynically.
"Hehe, that's it" answered Ericka clumsy, all wrong to answer what.
He recalled Stanley's words at the time, he had to lie about their status if he did not want to be expelled. There will be many people who want to do that to him.
"So maybe they're what Stanley meant" Ericka murmured.
"I was confused by her, what did she see from this girl? The face is so ugly, wait for me to be seen from any side" said the girl using language that Ericka did not understand.
Looks like the area where Stanley lives is an area occupied by everyone who comes from various immigrant countries.
Ericka just smiled as the girl spoke, looking from the look on their faces like belittling or insulting Ericka when she spoke.
Ericka may not be able to understand or know what she is talking about but she can read or understand from the body gestures of the interlocutor, let alone others also respond to it the same as it seems.
"It can't be allowed, I don't want to be insulted anymore! Until when I am always trampled by these people, no one will help me but myself" Ericka told herself.
They were all silent when they heard Ericka speak for herself, just as they could not understand what Ericka said.
"The good stuff!" ericka Smile.
He looks around if there is a restaurant or cafe looking for part-time employees, so he can work and ease the burden on Stanley.
Let alone accepted, there he can only be insults and insults from all of them.
"Go there! We don't accept employees like you, your face was fixed just came here"
"We only accept good-looking employees, not like you!"
"You're Asian, go there!"
And many more insults he received, he felt ashamed and humiliated. Ericka sat alone in a garden, a few moments later she was approached by a woman.
"Hello, Miss. I'm sorry I saw you at that restaurant earlier, are you looking for a job?" ask the middle-aged woman.
"Ah, yes Ma'am. That's right" Ericka replied happily.
"Then I want to work at my restaurant, but as a dishwasher. And the pay is not much" said the woman again.
"It's okay, Mom. The important thing is that I can make money" Ericka said.
So follow Ericka with the woman, she works part-time as a dishwasher in a chinese restaurant. It turns out that there is not only Ericka who became a problematic employee it turns out that almost some employees there are also the same.
On average they are all immigrants from Asia, and are often considered one-eyed by some of the people there.
"Work well, even if our salary is small at least we have a job and are fed according to time" said one of the employees who was there.
They all worked according to their duties, until they came home and received their wages today. Ericka was paid 300 pounds, and that was enough to make her happy.
On his way home, he saw a group of men dressed in plainclothes. Ericka recognizes one of them as her bodyguard mr. Robert.
He walked as fast as he could and wished they didn't realize he was there, having walked far enough away and thought he was safe Ericka was startled by the shadows that followed him all the way to the building.
At present.
"Hey, just daydream! Eat there, tomorrow morning I'll come here again to deliver you breakfast and snacks, let's not crawl again, I go home first yah" said Stanley disperse Ericka daydream.
"Going home? Where are you going, isn't this your home?" ericka asked, it seems like she hasn't focused yet.
"Why? You want me to stay here with me? You miss" seduced Stanley while blinking his eyes.
"What the hell?! No, I just don't feel good seeing you forced to sleep outside while I'm keeping your room" Ericka said, turning her face away, there was a slight red hue on her cheek.
"Looks like there's a point to you, btw... You don't hear the neighbors talking about us, do you? Like 'her husband's sleeping outside' or 'they're fighting'?" ask Stanley.
"No, they never talk like that to me" Ericka said.
"In case I'm going to sleep here, don't get me wrong! You sleep in the room and I'm in the living room" Stanley said.
Ericka nodded slowly, there was a sense of awkwardness as well even though they slept in different places.
"I have to get used to it, no matter how I ride here. It doesn't feel good if he has to come out for me" Ericka muttered.
Meanwhile, outside the building. Standing some people staring at the building, they seemed to be getting ready to make a move. Just waiting for orders.
"Nobody moves before there's an order from the boss!" say one of them.
A group of burly men dressed in all black complete with masks, they each carried blunt weapons such as wooden blocks, baseball bats and others.//
Elsewhere, in a beloved country.
Reva and others as usual work in the office and do the jobs that accumulate do not know when it will be completed.
Suddenly he had an uninvited guest, a selfless guest who forced himself to be better served and claimed to be the subsidiary owner of the company.
"Who in the morning is this making a scene?!" reva said grumpily.
As the noise of the commotion reached her room, she let out a heavy sigh and asked Mona and Susy to finish the commotion.
"Don't hold onto me yeah! You know yourself to be a person, a lowly employee like you must be fired!" said the girl loudly.
"Wait a minute, I seem to recognize this voice? But who is yah?!" reva said curiously, and he finally came out as well.
To his surprise he saw who the person in front of him was, one of the people he hated the most was in his office right now.
"Pricilia?!" surprised muttering.
