"What do you mean?" Miriam wondered what the man was thinking.

"If there's a snake, why did you survive?!!"

Smart this guy too. The girl tried to stand up, and approached the robber.

"Would you approach me?" The man tried to be vigilant while still pointing the gun at Max who was still unconscious on the floor.

"Did I look that scary?"

"What?" The robber looked confused.

"What do I have until you're scared?" Slowly holding her shoulder, the girl approached.

"Maybe you're a cop or you have martial arts."

Oh, that's what it means? "Is my face like the face of a cop?"

"Mmh?"

When the man noticed the girl's face, it was then that Miriam opened her mouth. Very quickly the tape-thin tongue came out of the girl's mouth and grabbed the man's neck mercilessly.

The man was surprised but it was too late to dodge. In the midst of trying to free himself from the snare of the tongue from his neck, he also tried to point the gun at Miriam.

"Aghghb ...."

Seeing the movement, the girl then hit the man's wrist upwards with her hand. The gun shot upwards and then fell to the floor.

At that moment, due to the noise of the gun, Max awakens. He saw Miriam's tongue twisting the robber's neck. He tried to convince his eyes of what he saw.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from downstairs. Miriam immediately removed the entanglement in the neck of her prey because the prey was dead.

Max was still confused by his vision. Was he wrong to see or was dreaming with a vision that was only a few seconds. Or is he hallucinating?

He tried to wake up. "Geeh!" He held his neck which was still sick.

"Sister!" Miriam, who saw the man awake, immediately ran over. "Aren't you okay?"

"Lita, you ...." Max glanced at the blood still coming out of the girl's shoulder that he was still holding. "Open?"

"Oh ...."

Suddenly a group of police officers entered the toilet.

"What's going on?" ask one of the police.

"I-I saw a snake." Miriam is back with her scared face drama.

"Did?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Come, quickly check and please these two people" the man told the others. Looks like he's leading the other police arrivals.

"Ready, sir."

Max and Miriam are immediately brought down. Soon an ambulance arrived and a medic gave the girl first aid and took her. Max was in the car.

"Lita, are you okay? You dizzy?"

Lita, who was put to sleep on a gurney and given an oxygen mask, just shook her head slowly. He was happy at such a time that Max watched him with his hands. It felt like he wanted the world to stop spinning.

"Just rest. If you want to sleep, go to sleep. I'm right here."

That sentence is very soothing. If he could talk freely, then he wanted to express love. Wanted to say that he was getting tired of waiting for that man who never understood his presence. Want Max to know that he has sacrificed his life journey forward to be with him, but what power. When he said that word, he would definitely split his body.

Ten days have passed and their relationship has shown no progress. He's confused.

Miriam clasped the man's hand tightly. At least this was the only thing that could strengthen him on his next trip. There is hope, though not much. Handfuls please. Even if only he hopes.

I don't want to sleep, Max, because if I sleep, it means that your hand is just a dream when it's not. Your hand is real.

Max interprets the girl's hand grip as anxiety because the girl feels alone. She was grateful to be able to treat her anxiety and be alone by being there and holding her hand.

The ambulance finally reached the hospital and Miriam immediately got help. His gunshot wound was stitched up and got a blood transfusion.

This time Miriam felt weak. Is this how humans are? Extremely weak.

Max rejoins the treatment room when the girl gets a blood transfusion.

"Lit." He rubbed the head of the girl. "If it hurts, say yes?"

"Mk." At that time the oxygen mask was removed and the girl was lying on the bed for a blood transfusion.

Shortly the policeman who had saved them came with his men. He asks the chronological arrival of the bank robber and Max represents Miriam.

"I don't know, because the robber beat me unconscious." Max looked at Miriam. "Only he knows what happened."

"So how?" The police turned to Miriam.

"Yes, as I mentioned earlier" said the girl.

"Did?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But we can't find it anywhere. We tried to find him. Do you know where the snake came from. Our team is still looking for that snake there."

"I-I don't know. Just know that the snake is already there," Miriam said trying to convince the police.

"What's the deal like?"

Miriam is confused. He had to make this lie perfect, at all costs. "Em, long."

"Yes ...." The policeman smiled.

Miriam glanced at Max hoping he would believe it. "It's black."

"Continue?"

"Small but long."

"Small what?"

"ribbon."

"Rooms?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"We're going to be the size of things."

Miriam showed size by bringing her index finger and thumb closer together.

"Four-five inches."

"Yes." Yeah."

"The length?"

The girl spread her hands as long as possible.

"Nearly 2 meters."

"Yes." Yeah."

"But how did the animal get around the neck?"

"He's creeping."

The Police Chief sighed. Talking to a girl is like talking to a child. Straight and innocent until the police knew the girl was lying. The police chief had already received a statement from the hospital, saying that the victim died from a twisting around the neck and that there were traces of mucus left there, but the problem was, the problem was, what animal has been wrapped around the neck of the victim because the snake is an animal whose body is not slimy.

The girl hides a reality that they do not know what but the lie does not harm anyone because some of the robbers have died, while the remaining two people have to account for their actions in prison.

The police then pounced.

"Lita, are you dizzy or what?" Max spoke softly as he rubbed the head of the girl again.

Miriam shakes.

"You hungry? It's already in lunchtime and it's past."

"Mk." The girl nodded.

"Of course meat, right?"

The girl smiled while nodding. The man also smiled happily, as the girl began to look healthy.

"Ok, I'll go first, okay?"

"Sister Max."

The man looked. "What?"

"Don't take it long."

The man smiled back. "Yes." Yeah."

Max walked out of the room and closed the door. Stepping into the canteen, the man thought hard. He was also as thoughtful as the policeman, not believing what the girl said because this was not the first time, there was a dead criminal beside the girl. This was his second experience and he also witnessed something that made him doubt with his own two eyes. Is it true what he saw at the time or is it just an illusion?
