The Lost Sky
9
Because of Aira's presence in class, Raka never skipped school again. Although the work of the two always clash if they meet, but Raka never really hurt Aira like the threat she always throws when she can not fight the girl's words.
Sinta, the owner of the eyes that kept staring hostilely towards Aira finally lost her patience. He contacts the school thugs and spends a lot of money to teach Aira a lesson. Whatever they want to do, as long as the girl lives and no longer dare to approach what belongs to her (Sinta).
Of course, in the face of that much money, the school thugs who were known to be naughty would not refuse. What else should they target a girl who looks so gentle. Of course they immediately accepted it without a second thought. Getting money with an easy job, is definitely the thing they love the most.
"It must be until the ugly one is completely stale! okay?!" sinta said before handing over the down payment she prepared.
"Sure, sure, big lady! We will do the job you give us well!" said the thug leader who had been itching to accept the money and have fun with it. How much can he buy with that kind of money, of course they can have fun for quite a long time until the money given runs out.
"Good! If your work is successful and I'm satisfied, I'll double this!" said the girl did not care about money matters, she only wanted to destroy the enemy that made her eyes hurt just by looking at it.
"Just calm down, we will torture your enemies so cruelly that they will not dare to appear again!" loud laughter sounded. They think this is the easiest job. "We will immediately take care of the person who is a thorn in your happy life, big lady," he said again.
Sinta smirked happily, imagining how scared the ugly face was even more impatient. "I hold your word!" tukas Sinta left the thugs who were busy counting the money he gave. Money is not a problem for him, he can waste as much money as he wants without having to explain to his parents the money he uses for anything.

The thugs sent by Sinta were waiting at the intersection of the lonely road that often passed by Aira. Aira who enters with the scholarship path must walk to make it easier for her to get to know the environment and find various roads when needed to escape. Aira frowned faintly as she felt that she was being followed, but still the girl pretended not to know. He even stopped by the mini market to buy bottled drinks, after which he continued walking again. At every step that Aira took, the girl kept counting how many people were following her. "Five, yes," he murmured while drinking the drink he had bought. "Not bad for training" he said flatly.
"Yo, good girl, can you obey these brothers?" a threatening and disparaging greeting went into Aira's ears. The girl stared flatly at the person blocking her path. Now that he knew what was really going on, the stalker kept following him and now, the same horde was blocking his way. Obviously, this was planned. Who interfered with his mission this time, what other groups also carried out the same mission. Then it means that Aira's disguise has been discovered.
"Don't be too fierce, boss. Look, our little lady doesn't even dare to speak so scared" said one of the boss' men, laughing indistinctly.
"Where are you from?" aira asked flatly making the loud laughter sound just now instantly stop.
"Oh, what a beautiful voice. It's even more beautiful if the lady is willing to scream and cry when we have fun!" the man licked his lips, he really felt even more excited after hearing Aira's sweet voice.
Aira still put on a cold look and did not care. "Quick say, where are you guys from? That way maybe I won't be too rude?" aira's words were only considered an empty threat from being too scared.
"Come, pretty. Don't be so fierce, we haven't even done anything yet but you're this scared?" the boss who feels superior.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, a voice interrupted from behind. "What are you doing? You should have run away in this situation, you idiot!" not yet able to reply, Aira's hand was forcibly pulled by the owner of the voice earlier.
"Raka?" muttered Aira looked towards Raka who was taking her away.
"Don't say anything! You can thank me later when the situation is safe!" said the young man.
Aira smiled faintly, the most sincere smile she did for the first time. "OK," replied Aira casually.
"Stupid! Quick chase! Don't just shut up!!!" shouted the boss with an angry face. Perhaps they forgot to block the way out and where the young man had come from. It just disturbs their work.
There was a chase, occasionally Raka looked back to make sure they were followed. The young man continued to curse when he knew that the bullies behind them were getting closer.
"Hold down even though it's hard, they're chasing, we don't have time to rest" Raka stared briefly at Aira. The hands of the two of them continued to cling, Raka had no intention of letting go of the girl's hand. Let's just say he gave strength so that Aira continued running despite being very tired.
"No problem," replied Aira taking a step faster. Now Raka is behind Aira. "I can still run," the girl added with a small smile.
Their grasp tightened, Raka was already close to reaching her limit and Aira knew about it. All was seen from how slow Raka was running. "In case I may ask?" aira said without sounding tired at all.
"What?" tanya Raka was brief. His breathing was tight, he couldn't talk more than this.
"Can you fight?" Aira slowed down her run, adjusting to Raka's speed. "Fist, punch, kick! That's it," added Aira again.
"Slightly," replied Raka getting exhausted.
"Good, let's stop running and face them" Aira said.
"Yes, I'm exhausted. I won't be able to face everything!" raka said wiping away the sweat that kept descending incessantly. How long he ran, why he had not been able to breathe normally even though he had rested for a while now.
"No problem, I'll take care of the rest" Aira said. She is not prohibited from martial arts, nor does she have to maintain the image of a weak girl who needs to be protected. So it doesn't matter if anyone sees himself beating a lot of guys who are trying to annoy him. Yes, although it would be better if he could clean them up without being noticed by anyone.
