LOVE Plus Minus

Streetlamps

"Beautiful, are you lost?" asked a man who suddenly approached me.

I shuddered in horror, looking at the appearance of the foreign man.

"Sorry, I have to go." I chose to avoid that man.

"Where are you? Ha?" he now forced one of my hands.

"sickness..." I grimaced inwardly as I moved my arms trying to save myself from this man.

"Please..." I screamed for help, but the busy highway was focused only on their own busyness. Not a single car stopped to help me who was now myeretting me forcibly along the sidewalk. Many times my legs sprained to compensate for the steps of the man who was now dragging me.

"Someone help me." My screams in my heart while continuing to step with a limping motion.

"Wouldn't it be easier if you've complied since?" asked the man while dragging me across the highway.

"Oh my God, what is he going to do to me?" The shadow of the bad experience that had happened to me re-emerged in my memory. Suddenly my chest felt tight, I felt out of air.

Dave POV

I just arrived home, having been doing research in the hospital since the morning.

"Bi, where's Cintya going?" ask me while eating lunch alone.

"Says he'll be out for a while." the woman replied politely.

"Where's Bi?"

"I dare not ask."

"Wear which car? Drivers are you bi?" tanyaku later.

"Maybe she's at my mom's house." I answered the origin in my heart and still enjoyed my meal.

"Get ojek den."

"What bi?" I just can't believe it.

I couldn't believe it anymore after hearing aunt's words about Cintya's appearance when she came out of the house earlier.

With a quick movement I immediately got up from the dining table, deciding to go straight for Cintya. I don't know why I suddenly feel so uncomfortable. There was an uneasy feeling that was silently troubling my heart.

"Applying for a job? Where are you going to propose?" I get confused while trying to focus on the road.

Finally without a plan, I was already on a crowded and traffic-jammed city road. Although I was not sure that Cintya would be in a place like this, I decided to keep a glance left and right checking the situation.

"She's a freak, who knows she chose to walk along the city." I muttered with a tickle considering the strangeness of the woman I was looking for.

But suddenly the tingling had turned into fear. Up ahead I saw a man dragging a helpless staggered woman.

"Is he her lover? is that woman sick?" I focus my eyes on them. The limp and erratic movements of the woman made me realize that she was in pain.

They were increasingly walking across the road, approaching my car was driving slowly due to traffic jams.

"Cintya?" like being struck by lightning I was shocked when I realized the woman's face.

His eyes looked empty before twitching a few times.

- bruck

I saw the girl collapse onto the asphalt. While the man who was dragging her put on an annoyed face preparing to lift the body of Cintya.

Dave tried to stop him, but the man lost quickly. The man had taken Cintya away and it was impossible for Dave to leave his car in the middle of the road. He is still law-abiding even in this urgent condition. Cindy said, he is a strange man.

Elsewhere, a woman was talking to some street thugs.

"What should we do, madam?"

"You can do anything. But don't let him lose his life. If she were to live her life, the game would not be exciting anymore" the woman said as she threw an envelope containing some money.

"Mrs want to see it? Soon the boss will come here and bring the woman." replied one of them.

"no need. You look carefully, lest anyone else know that I am behind this incident. If this thing leaks out, I don't hesitate to destroy you" the woman said as she passed from there.

"Cintya, let's see after this will your mother live in peace? None of this is enough to avenge me. I can't wait to play longer with you." murmured the woman with a satisfied smile.

drrrrrrrrt ...

The woman's steps came to a halt due to the vibration on her phone.

"Hello..."

.....

"Whatdidyou say? George came to the hospital?"

Dave POV

While parking the car, I immediately contacted the police, reporting that my wife was being dragged by a stranger. My wife, there was a strange and awkward feeling tickling my heart as she said that word.

I got out of the car while watching the man who was carrying the limp body of Cintya.

"I have to stop him here. A crowd like this would make it hard to move." I murmured inwardly as I ran after the man.

"Sir, I'm sorry. What happened to my wife? is he sick?" I asked while blocking this man's steps.

"Who are you?" the man looked at me with a fierce look.

"I'm the husband of the lady you're carrying."

"Don't just confess to me." she attacked me.

I knew it was going to be tough, which is why I called the police before stopping this guy.

Some people on the side of the road are now interested in watching the show between me and the man who holds the body of Cintya.

"dare you touch Cintya like that." I said annoyed in my heart.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Dave, we from the police "A man came up to me with his identification.

"Thank God, you guys arrived quickly." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are there police?" asked the man, not believing what was going on.

"Sir, I asked them for help because I saw my wife being dragged by a stranger" I replied casually as I grabbed Cintya's body from the man.

"Hope to come with us to the police station for further investigation" the police said.

"I'm not doing anything bad, don't arrest me. I was just helping that woman. Are you blind?" the man tried to fight.

"Basic liar. You even yelled at me earlier." I muttered as I placed Cintya's body in the backseat carefully.

No matter what happened there, I chose to bring Cintya home. Now the priority is the state of this woman is not the thug just now.

"You're always a pain. Is that really your hobby? Why not go with a driver?" I grumbled at length while driving.

"If you can't take care of yourself don't go alone." I still nagged my frustration.

In one of the doctor's rooms in a famous hospital in Jakarta. George was talking seriously to his mother. But suddenly the conversation between them stopped because the mother's phone rang loudly.

"Hello..."

"Madam, the woman survived and the boss was arrested by the police."

"What do you mean?"

....

"Real up your own problems. Don't call me anymore" George's mother said angrily as she threw her phone at the couch.

"George.." call him half-stomping while sitting in front of the child.

"Yes ma?"

"You go to the U. S. alone." he answered more like an order.

"But ma?"

"It's an order, don't argue." he replied firmly.

"If you're here, how do I destroy that family? At least without your existence in the campus, I'd be more free to make it out of that place." the woman's inner.
