Ch.14 Bad Memories Part 3



The thug poked his hand against Maisa's neck. It didn't seem to recognize the girl when she met Lucy some time ago. Maisa was grateful that way they lowered their vigilance.


"Bang, I have a photo of a very pretty girl. Can I not introduce him?" He brushed off the hands of the thug holding his waist.


"Well, Neng."


Maisa reached for a cell phone in her skirt pocket. Opening Lucy's photo, it appears before them. The four thugs were aghast at the photo of the beautiful girl smiling towards the camera. He has not recovered from his shock. Maisa floated fists and kicks into their jaws. He's crabbing one of the goons.


Cretek! The sound of bones shifting. The gondrong-haired thug cried out to deaf ears. His body fell to the asphalt. Both of her hands were pressed backwards by Maisa. The girl bent her hands until her joints shifted.


"Bang, don't try to run away sometimes. Own responsibility as a result."


Maisa grinning. His hand finished tying one thug with his tie. There are three more people. The three again attacked Maisa blindly. With agility he dodged the attack. A fist approached her face, Maisa banged her body. Someone cut his neck from behind. The thug laughed triumphantly, the two thugs began to approach.


"Fucking girl!"


The double! Maisa banged her head against the thug's face. Blood is pouring from his nose. The man covered his bloody nose. Once again Maisa smashed the thug's head into the wall beside him.


A heavy side fight. Maisa has always had power equal to men, coupled with the ability of silat and karate possessed makes his strength double. But he had to work hard to knock down all three. The girl stepped on the back of one of the thugs, pulling her hand back. The sound of screeching slit the ears.


Maisa managed to clear all three. His breath is almost gone. There was a splash of blood on his face. His forehead and lips bruised from smashing and punching. He stood in front of the four thugs who were helpless. The people who heard the commotion did not dare to wound them. The girl glared at them with a threatening look.


"So quickly you tell me how you know him. Don't try to fool me, Bang. Before I break your other bones."


Maisa shows back Lucy's photo. His face was smiling sweetly but looked hideous in their eyes. His eyes held anger. I want it to destroy them all. Eyes are returned with eyes, teeth are returned with teeth. The four swallowed their hard spit. They easily revealed the incident some time ago.


...****...


Lucy ran into several stores selling isotonic drinks and sport drinks. Whether this was a coincidence or not, some of the stores that were selling ran out. He ran away from the sports hall. His steps came to a halt at Beemart at the end of the road. Fortunately, there is still a drink supply. The girl bought the remaining bottles. Two plastic bags full of drinks in his hand.


Lucy walked while humming. His steps were blocked by the four thugs who confronted him. Their stares made him uncomfortable. Fear approached him. His body began to tremble. Lucy retreated backwards and ran into the narrow path. The four thugs laughed following Lucy.


"Where are you, Neng. Same with brother." One of the thugs laughed softly.


Lucy throws one by one the bottles she buys. The four thugs laughed instead. Lucy kept running down the narrow path. No one passes by. As much as she could, she screamed for help. His hands were shaking trying to call Evan. One of the short haircut thugs snatched his phone and threw it into the gutter.


The thug's hand began to wiggle his thigh. The others began to stroke her cheeks, palpating her waist. Lucy sheds her tears, begging to let go. His hands tried to shake their hands. Just as one of them is about to squeeze her chest, Lucy holds her hand and bites him. The man was in pain. The girl immediately ran as they were off guard. The thugs behind him swore in annoyance.


Lucy saw the old building. Dreary atmosphere. He looked back. The thugs are far behind. He rushed into the building. The thugs caught up.


"That's her. The girl went in there."


Hearing that Lucy rushed upstairs. The thug began to approach him. Arriving on the third floor, Lucy begins to be cornered. The four men grinned triumphantly. Lucy retreated to the balcony. His body trembled withstanding fear. Her tears did not stop flowing. His mouth was still begging to let go. But the thug doesn't care.


His back hit a rusty iron fence. His eyes glanced down. Lucy gulped her saliva. The four thugs were getting closer. Accidentally his foot stepped on the balcony crack. One leg fell, his hand trying to hold on to the rusty iron grip, but unable to withstand the weight of his body.


Lucy felt her body drift down rapidly. He closed his eyes. Maybe it's the end of his life. But he didn't want to die like that. His body fell to the ground. An excruciating pain ran all over his body. Can't move his fingertips. Breathing violently. His heart rate slowly weakened. His eyes were staring at the thug. Over time his vision became dark.


"Woi! Damnit damnit! The girl fell. Let's go before anyone sees" said one of the thugs.


The four thugs rushed out of the building, leaving Lucy lying covered in blood.


"What's? You guys just left him. You bastard!"


The thug laughed, no regrets. "That girl dressed sexy first. It's not our fault, Neng."


"If you are depraved, you are depraved. Don't bring clothes."


Maisa punched one of the thugs in the face. I want to smash their faces. No matter the man's moans, he kept hitting him in the face. Tears flowed down his cheeks. His heart hurts. His knuckles hurt. A blood splash stained his white shirt. Some people behind him murmured in horror.


Someone held his hand. Maisa looked up to see Evan standing behind her. Evan squatted in front of him. Grasping both of his hands. His face looked worried as well as relieved. He hugged the girl.


"Thank you, Sa. Thanks for thinking about Lucy. But this is enough."


Maisa's cry broke. He was sobbing in Evan's arms. Evan stroked his back, calming the girl down. Jain ties up the four thugs who are on the verge of dying.


Shortly after, the police came and secured the four thugs. With the footage Maisa has prepared, it is enough additional evidence to send them to prison. Smart girl, a few days before the incident she bought a small-sized recorder just in case.


Lucy never recovered, even though the culprit had already been caught. He remains in a coma. His parents took him abroad for treatment. Of course, Evan was hit.


The video of him beating up the four thugs brutally spread out. Almost all of his schoolmates did not dare to approach him. Everyone immediately stepped aside as soon as Maisa passed by. He even earned the nickname crazy girl. Coach got him out of the silat club. Only Jain and Evan faithfully accompany her.


"Sorry, Sa. It's all because I can't protect Lucy." Evan looked at Maisa with a sad face.


"It's okay, Brother. I'd do the same thing if something happened to you too."


Maisa smiled to calm Evan down. Jain ruffles Maisa's hair affectionately. She's a very nice girl. Exceptionally well.


Plaque! A loud slap lay on Maisa's cheek. Mr. Chandra held back his anger at seeing the video. Hearing the news that the boy was in trouble, made him immediately fly to Yogyakarta. But what was found made him angry. Maisa rubbed her sore cheek. There was a rusty salty taste in his mouth. It looks like someone got hurt in his mouth.


"How dare you cause trouble. Is not enough trouble you've made before."


"Sorry, Pa."


"Never dream of returning to Jakarta. You crazy boy!"


"But I never regretted it, because it's all for my friend."


"Just do as you please. I don't give a shit."


Despite saying so, Mr. Chandra still helps him hire the best lawyer so as not to be exposed to criminal persecution. Pulling all the videos. Of course it was to keep his family's reputation from being tarnished. But there was one person who kept the video. Kio smiled cunningly. He will use it to threaten Maisa later.
