The Grudge Love's

CHAPTER 60

Gontai steps pinned by Mike every shoe hit the marble floor of his luxury home, his body running smoothly, Mike was really desperate. He used to do anything just to get Imelda though she betrayed him and now Mike doesn't know what to do to get Elina to accept him

"Aaarrrgghhh" she cried out everything on the stuff in her room

Mike has finished his relationship with Imelda even though it takes a little threat for the sexy woman to stay away from him. He would turn terrible if already angry, even the governor Erwin shrunk his guts with the threat of four men, the governor seemed to not want to add to the enemy

"Elina.." she rubbed the screen of her phone where the picture of Elina smiling was enshrined there secretly

The woman he had tied up with marriage, the woman who was currently pregnant with her child as well as, the woman who had secretly inhabited his heart as the owner of the highest throne now greatly hated him because of one mistake he had not been willing to commit in the past

Mike's shadow returns when he manages to escape in the forest by then, by night he's out of the forest and plans to meet Revan and want to make sure the father he hit is okay

From a distance, in the dark Mike the teenager saw the police were looking for him only with a sketch of his face. From that Mike has already caught the conclusion that he is the only accused in the case and Revan is free from any suspects.

Mike turned back to running, leaving everything until a few days later in a rundown state, Mike managed to get to a big city called Jakarta. The police could not arrest him because there was not the slightest data about him, he did not have any data, because all this time Mike just live wild, sleep carelessly, eat whatever he got. In fact, he had picked up food in a garbage can so hungry during the escape process at that time

Lived on the streets as homeless, working odd jobs in the market just for a decent bite of food. 16-year-old Mike worked very hard in the big city just to survive

Mike lived a long time, no family or relatives he had, no house, no allowance, and now he is also accused of being the killer which means the victim he hit was dead

Once he cried with a piece of bread in his hand, a cry of regret for him who did not firmly take action at that time, maybe if he was a little more resolute with that decision then the father he hit could still survive

For almost 2 months full of mental and physical torture Mike, he became months of market thugs who continue to dig up money from hard work until there is no day where his body is not bruised. Crying out! His tears were no longer going out and Mike was not planning on being a whiny man

The nights were filled with nightmares when he hit the father and the word killer seemed to ring in his ear so often Mike screamed at night just to eliminate the sound that continued buzzing in his head until not a few homeless people near him sucked it even throw it with whatever they reach because Mike disturbed their sleep which is only based on used cardboard

Top of it all, Mike decides to end his life. He climbed on a bridge intending to end his life, after all no one in the world would feel lost because he had no one

"Want to commit suicide?" ask a teenage boy who is standing not far from Mike. The teenager had noticed Mike's movements two hours ago and followed the man to the top of the bridge

Mike looked at the teenager who was walking closer to him with a Canon-branded camera stuck in his hand

"Your life is too unfortunate if you have to run out under this bridge" said the teenager again casually and chose to stand beside Mike

"Who are you?" asked Mike confused to see the teenager who was familiar with him

"Me! Introduce it! I'm Billy Anderson, the future professional photographer" the teenager replied confidently as he stuck his hand out to Mike

"I don't know you" answered Mike flatly

"Same. I don't know you either, which is why I introduced myself to you let you know me" Billy said, showing off his charming smile. Mike ignores Billy's helping hand and turns to face the front of the bridge back

"I have no business with you. So, leave me alone"

"Where can it be. If I let you kill yourself right now, afraid you'd ruin my beautiful art" Billy said, Mike frowning at Billy's utterances. What does art mean?

"See this!" Billy showed the shot on the camera he was carrying, where the picture he took was all there Mike in it

"You following me?" mike asked back, staring at the strange Billy who kept showing off his smile

"Unfortunately yes! I like your face and body, you would be very beautiful if you became a model later. That's why I said your life would be a pity if it ended here"

"Sorry, I'm not interested" Mike declined

"Alright if you're not interested in modeling, but look down at you, look at that." point Billy at the crowd of people passing by jostling under the bridge that they're on

"How many of you think they're saturated with this life?" ask Billy

"No idea" Billy smiled with that answer

"Nearly 99 percent of them are all saturated with life but look! Did they give up? No. kan. Question why? Because their lives are too beautiful to die in vain" explained Billy made Mike look at the teenager was amazed at the thought of adults when if Mike guessed Billy's age is not much different from him

"Then are you one of them?" ask Mike to Billy

"Yes, you're right. Even my life's problems are complicated enough for an adult to understand, but I don't want to die yet" billy's reply continued to smile making Mike wonder if the man in front of him never felt his face ache because he kept smiling

"Then what should I do now?"

"Good question. Come with me!" Billy immediately pulled Mike's hand down from the bridge to a nearby restaurant. Although Mike continued to refuse because he felt bad, Billy continued to pull the hand of his new friend to a table

Billy began to ask the problems faced by Mike to have thoughts to end his life. Mike began to tell everything, starting from who he was, the hit-and-run case he did to the circumstances he had been living in Jakarta

Since then Billy began to be close to Mike and raised the man as one of his best friends and was introduced to Marcel and Eric who of course received Mike with joy and became their friend taste brother until now

Mike smiled as he recalled those times. He might have been a dead body if Billy had not existed then and he would not have been this successful without the help of his best friends Marcel and Eric

They used to be just a group of 4 lonely teenagers and 10 years managed to make them tie the strings of brotherhood even without blood ties
