"All right, it's up to you." I gave her the car keys in the elevator that brought us down. Perfume this perfume, I'll get used to smelling this musk and patchouli for 30 days.
You might wake up missing him after 30 days. But it's okay, just think of it as a good dream, like on vacation. There comes a time when I must return to my world.
"Where are we going?"
"Hmm come along." He didn't tell me where. But he headed across the harbor to the Cross Harbour Tunnel to cross over to Tsim Tsa Sui, I started asking where we were going.
"Where are we going Oliver?" Why he took us across.
"Kowloons. How about we go to Mong Kok, mingle with the tourist. Lots of good food there."
"I don't want to, why should we go there. You're not serious." I immediately debated it with a lot of bad things starting to cross my head.
"Here I'm the boss it's up to me where I go." I was silent, he purposely arranged for us to go there, banging me with trouble to see my reaction.
"Oliver, why are you doing this..."
"We'll see what happens if you go there. What if we just face what comes up. Maybe some thugs are after you, we're just ready to run to the nearest police station. Rather than you being scared there are still people looking for you in Hong Kong or not, aren't we better deal with the problem and solve it."
"You're out of work looking for Oliver's problem."
"You are illogical. You're scared for five years not to go back to Hong Kong. If you steal something from someone, you better finish it. I can help you, you owe me how much we finish now." He's really good at considering me a friend, wanting to help solve my problems, but that's not the case now.
"Oliver I don't owe anyone anything. Why are you cornering me like this." Maybe it's time I tell Ko Derrick. Ask for help if he can do something if Kent suddenly decides he's still curious about me.
"Sandra, look at how messed up you are, and then I took you to Mong Kok you already looked so depressed Sandra. I told you I'd help, let's face your problems now... Then you can come back here whenever you want."
"Oliver, please I'll finish it myself. Please prayyou. We can't go there now, you can't help me with this." I now hold his arm.
"Then if the problem arises who can help you? Maybe your enemy already knows you're in Hong Kong and now starts looking for you now. I'll give you the worst-case scenario that goes through my mind right now, Kowloon's a Triad, I imagine your problems are like people who have a lot of people to spy on, Triads that have the power of thousands of people, who can help you? You must have a friend you can trust here, more definitely who knows your problem?"
I do get worried now, if he finds out I'm in HK, he can indeed spread my picture to hundreds of people probably all over Hong Kong. If he still intends to repay me for leaving him. I know she's not married now. After all these years, he still intends to pursue me. Yesterday he was still trying...
"Sandra's? Who can help you?" Oliver asked me again when I didn't know how to tell him.
"Here is Oliver, please come on, I'm only here for 30 days, 14 days in Vietnam, why are you taking care of my problems. There's no point in us looking for trouble."
"Well now I ask, if the worst is tomorrow. Who can help you? Who can I call." Now I'm breathing.
"Maybe Ko Derrick."
"The person you told your boss in Jakarta. Does he know your problem?"
"Actually not."
"Then how could he possibly help you?! Don't frustrate me! It's for your own safety!" Now he speaks in such a high tone that it makes me shocked. He sighed looking at my expression of screams.
"Sorry, you're talking around and around making me offend Sandra, how does she help you if she doesn't know about your problems? What should I tell him if you suddenly disappear one day."
"He'll know because my supervisor, my current boss, knows. But it's not gonna happen the way you think. That's just the worst possibility."
"So this man you're afraid of in Kowloon really has the power and the ability to command many people. And that Derrick can help you even if he's in Jakarta? Why does that sound absurd? How come? What can Derrick stop? Isn't he a professional business man in Jalarta. You're talking senseless. He can only overcome that if it happens that he's in one organizational structure...."
He looked at me and was suddenly able to draw his own conclusions and the conclusions were correct. He drew a red line every clue I gave him. I looked away at the street, now he knows the big picture.
I'm silent. Three days here he's been exposing my personal problems. But instead he also actually told me who he was.
He sits next to me now, still waiting for an explanation. Seeing me while I've given up on his interrogation. Well let him know all my problems, after this maybe he'll stay away.
"Why with your boss until you never dare to go back to Hong Kong five years. You said you didn't take something away from him?" I sighed, I'll tell Oliver.
"alright. If you want to know, I used to have a very toxic ex-boyfriend, a bouncer, a torturer and a possessive named Kent, he's Philip's confidant, you could say he was the main command of all my forces Boss Philip in Hong Kong, I could run away from him when I finally had a job in Singapore, even with Philip's nemesis group. Now you're satisfied?!" I got angry I had to tell him after he cornered me.
"I hate him so much but I can't run away from him for a year of my life like I was in hell, I don't want him to know I'm here, yesterday I accidentally met him in Jakarta and he's still... tried. reached me. Please don't we go to Kowloon? I don't want to. You won't be able to fight him he'll kill you easily if you try, I don't dare go back to Hong Kong, because he said he'd kill me if I got away from him." Now I'm crying sobbing in front of Oliver. I desperately avoided trouble, but he took me there instead.
"We're not going there, all right. Stop crying, we're not going there. Then we turn to Wan Chai again. Stop crying..." He gave me tissue. My crying brings results too.
I was still trying to calm myself.
"I didn't know you had that kind of trauma, I'm sorry I cornered you." He got out of the tunnel, then took his way back to Wan Chai. I'm relieved by his side.
"Why do you get in touch with people like that..
"I didn't know he had such a disorder. He was like any other man, but then when I finally got close I just found out he was the mas*ochis*m, the handyman*kul, mena*mpar, menganc*am, posts*if, I was with him maybe until I was a year old, he said, when I had the chance to escape, I wouldn't mind not coming back to Hong Kong. Yesterday when we accidentally met in Jakarta, he forced me to have lunch with him with my meme*kik, he knew I didn't dare to fight him... My mind has fallen out first, until now I have no courage."
"You never fought him? Can't you fight."
"I'm a woman, how can I fight a wahid level fighter. I fought back as hard as I could, but then he sent me to the hospital ER while threatening to kill me if I dared try again."
"You said Derrick could help you, but why didn't he help you..."
I told you everything, what happened. Kent's position, Derrick's position, how Derrick actually put me in Kent, why now Derrick might be able to help me if Kent insists on doing it again. Oliver kept silent for a long time hearing my story.
"If he shows up again, let me deal with him. If you had someone, he wouldn't dare. I'll put him in his boss if he dares to touch you again."
"Don't bring yourself into Oliver's trouble." Oliver's silent now, I'm afraid he'll do something dangerous. "Oliver, ..." I shook his arm making him look at me.
"This can't be let by Sandra, I'll take care of that son of a bitch after Vietnam, you're safe with me there. He's been threatening you again in Jakarta, you don't think he's coming again for a second time. This has to be resolved. The lowly bastard who only dared to that woman must get his payback."
Why would he do this for me.
"But how about..." I was worried Kent would make him a target and harm him if he just came straight to him.
"Sandra, just trust me. Let me talk to that Derrick, I know what you mean, I'm facing Philip's virgin who might threaten me back and endanger my soul. I'm not going to go to him and say 'Stay away from Sandra!' I also know it's suicide, I wouldn't be an architect if I didn't have layers of calculations in my head."
"You talked to Ko Derrick..."
"Yes, I'm the one who talks to love, not to you." I saw him, was he jealous, why was his tone like that. "Obviously you don't be stupid to be pressured by that lowly bastard*at again."
"I've kicked you into the pool, even hit you. Why would you do this for me." He smiled at me.
"Because we're friends. Thats all... I appreciate people I consider friends." Don Juan just said that. That we're friends, why would I wonder why he's changed so far now.
He really did it just because we were friends. All this because we're friends?
Why being a friend is so special.
