I'm Not a Wingless Angel

SCANDALS

*

" Dissolve... weekly night again.." one by one my ngojek friends who are all male, immediately ready to go while laughing mocking me.

" Gi dah's... Let there be less competition. Yes, no, om?" I said to ask for approval from 2 men who are much older than me. They laughed at my words.

" Sister not weekly nights?" tease one of them.

" Weekly night, you can't be like that." replied one. I glanced at him.

" Neh.. same om - om.." we laughed out loud - bahak together. Actually, it's just me and the two men I call "om ".

" Braziest." I said. Then, one by one, remove from the gathering place we call "basecamp".

Almost an hour I waited for the order, long - long bored. I decided to find an order on my way home. I said goodbye to the two earlier, and immediately split the streets.

I took my motorcycle tires to the asphalt of the city streets, still crowded but no order entered. I went into the entertainment center, suddenly I saw a crowd of people in the parking lot in front of one of the entertainment venues. I pointed my bike there, figuring out what was going on. As soon as I saw someone I knew was in the crowd, I quickly turned off my motor and walked towards the crowd. Gosh... There are people fighting, instead of getting hurt, they just watch and again - again immortalize.

" Dimas" I said the name of one of the people involved in the fight, and then

" Dimase!!" I burst into the crowd

" Dimages... Stop...stop!!" I screamed loudly. Everyone looked at me, some of the people who were beating and kicking Dimas immediately stopped the action. I approached Dimas who was curled up on the asphalt with one hand protecting the head and the other holding the stomach.

" Stop, you cowards!!" my yelling. " You have to face the five while he's alone!" i said again. Not long after, some security entertainment venues came and dispersed the crowd.

" You said to him, don't look for trouble here. It's consequences!" one of the men shouted towards me. I ignore the words - he said,

" Dimages.. Dimas.." I kept calling his name, making sure he was still conscious.

" Take her to the hospital straight away." I stared intently at one of the security who spoke to me. Wherever they had been, it was like their Indian film. The victims were lying down, they just came.

" Dimas, can you get up?" askaku. I am really sorry to see how he is. He replied with a soft nod.

" Please help him get up and get on my bike" I asked security. I'm certainly not strong if I have to clean it myself. Thank goodness they were willing to help. Maybe they are also lazy to take care of things like this. I picked up my bike and pointed it close to where Dimas was lying. I opened my jacket, while the security guards helped Dimas get up and get on my bike. After he was in the boncer, I asked one of the security guards to wrap my jacket around Dimas's waist, then I tied the sleeve to my stomach, like I was piggybacking a toddler. I also asked Dimas to tightly hug my waist from behind, fortunately Dimas was still conscious and obeyed my request. I gasped straight to the nearest hospital. I kept calling her name, making sure she stayed sober, so we wouldn't fall and get to the hospital safely.

" Uni hasn't told mama yet, has she?" ask Dimas slowly.

" I don't keep his cell phone number" I replied honestly.

" Thank God" he said later. I know, Dimas wouldn't want his mom to know what happened.

After waiting for some time, taking care of administration and taking medicine, Dimas was finally allowed to go home.

" Is there something you want to call?" I handed him my phone to use to call someone he knew other than his mother. I saw his phone smashed on the asphalt earlier. Dimas shook his head, refusing to contact anyone he knew. I put my phone back in the pocket of the oversized jacket I was wearing.

" The Union's tired?" askinya.

" A little bit." I replied.

" Can you take me somewhere?"

I looked at the beautiful night view from where I was sitting. For a long time I wanted to be alone like this, enjoying the silence and beauty of the dark sky. I haven't felt this for a long time. I saw the clock on my wrist, at half-time one night and I wasn't sleepy yet.

" Union drinking coffee?" I was surprised, looking straight at Dimas who placed two cups of coffee on the table beside me. She had changed clothes, Dimas asked me to take her to one of his family's rest houses. Of course, there are also clothes available here. I just realized that he's handsome, his face is clean, his eyebrows are thick and his nose is pointed. In addition to the brown skin, really add to his good looks.

" Uni." I nodded quickly and smiled to answer his question earlier.

He sat on the empty chair next to me, our distance was not too close, but I could feel the smell of soap from his body greeting gently and freshly on my nose.

We were silent for a long time, enjoying the scenery that lay before us, immersed in our imagination and thoughts respectively.

" Union, what are the reasons people cheat?" I quickly looked into his face, did he want to start telling me about the incident earlier?
