The Love of the Unknown Man

35 Me Or You

In the morning, Lisa woke up earlier than the two men who had stayed at her house last night. 

Today's Lisa's first day working at a new hospital. But before that, Lisa wants to jog while breathing fresh morning air. 

Slowly Lisa closed the door without making a sound so as not to wake Gustav who was still sleeping on the living room sofa. 

Lisa ran down the village road which is now smooth like never before. Lisa's leg swing had taken her to the dam and Lisa decided to pause for a moment. 

The wave-haired girl gasped while shaking her waist. His bead of eyes scoured the scene around the dam covered in thin mist. 

Lisa's body stiffened when her eyes ended on someone standing not far from her. The person walked slowly closer to Lisa by developing a meaningful smile. 

"You? "

"Lisaaa… "

Gustav immediately rounded his eyes with gasping breath and a cloud of sweat running down his forehead. He dreams of Lisa being thrown into the water and waking up. 

Gustav sighed, grateful that all he saw was a dream. However, Gustav's feelings were not calm so he immediately got up and checked Lisa's room. 

There was no one in that room. Then Gustav's shoulder was patted by Devan who also just woke up. 

"Where's Lisa?" devan asked while holding back not to yawn wide. 

Gustav tergugu's. The strange feeling lodged in his heart grew stronger.  He was sure something was happening to Lisa. 

"Hey, I asked where is Lisa? Why are you quiet?" Devan raised his tone of voice because Gustav ignored his question. 

And instead of answering, Gustav instead walked around every corner of the house and never stopped the figure of Lisa. It makes Gustav worry half to death. 

While Devan continues to follow Gustav with a mouth that never tired of asking the whereabouts of Lisa. 

"Shut Up! You can be quiet, huh?" gertak Gustav whose ears hurt because of Devan's chatter. "I don't know where Lisa is either."

"You?" Lisa took a step back as the man got closer. 

"Yes, I."

The man smiled broadly revealing a row of teeth. However, the look in her eyes looked at Lisa like a tiger looking at a prey.

"It's not just you coming back to this village, Lisa. But I'm back too."

"You're supposed to die rotting in prison, Roy," Lisa's hiss so held back the anger that peaked in her chest. 

Lisa will never forget what Roy did to end her father's life. He did not accept Roy to be released from prison in just five years. 

Roy's behavior has not changed. The man is seen swallowing saliva when looking at Lisa's curves. 

"Lisa, you're getting pretty. But unfortunately I no longer feel for you because of you… "

As fast as lightning Roy clasped Lisa's cheeks rough, forcing the girl to look up at her eyes. 

"Because you made me feel the pain of being in a prison cell. And now, I'm gonna show you how miserable it was when death picked you up."

As much as Roy's energy pushed Lisa's body that was shrieking in fear as her body crashed into the lake. 

The cold water of the lake pierced straight to the bone and as much as possible Lisa moved her hands to the surface. Damn, Lisa's not good at swimming. What happened was that his body was getting dragged to the bottom of the water. 

At the place where he stood, Roy laughed at the moment Lisa drowned. Then suddenly… 

Bugh. 

One raw bogem landed on the tip of Roy's lips and managed to make the man wobble down to kiss the ground. 

Roy is grieving when he realizes who the perpetrator of the beating is none other than Gustav. He escaped when Gustav threw himself into the lake. 

While Devan who ran behind Gustav can only resign when another man saves Lisa. 

Air bubbles came out of Lisa's mouth. Just as she was about to run out of breath, Lisa saw a swimming Gustav approaching and grabbed his very cold hand. 

"Lisa, open your eyes!" gustav said as he had managed to lay Lisa on the grass. 

Gustav held onto Lisa's head and gently patted her icy cheeks. She didn't care about her soaking wet body because all she wanted was to see Lisa open her eyelids. 

"I'm going to make an artificial breath" Devan said, offering help when he saw the unconscious Lisa. 

Devan crouched down ready to give artificial breath to Lisa. However, immediately Devan's shirt collar is pulled by Gustav to stay away from Lisa. 

"What the fuck are you. I want to help Lisa, "Devan broke free from Gustav's clutches by putting on a wrathful face. 

"I won't let your lips stick to Lisa's lips" Gustavo snapped glaring both eyes. 

"Sweet, possessive. Dear Lord Gustav please lower your ego. I just want to help."

"You're looking for opportunities in narrowness. Not to help," said Gustav firmly. 

In the midst of Devan and Gustav debate, there was a coughing sound that made the two men turn to the source of the voice and race to each other towards Lisa. 

"Uhuk, don't fight! Uhuk, uhuk," said Lisa. 

"Lisa, put this on!" Devan puts his dry coat on Lisa's shoulder to keep the girl from getting cold.

Just one second, Devan's suit was perched on Lisa's shoulder, Gustav's hand as quickly as possible grabbed the suit and threw it away. 

"This is useless. Come on, Lisa, let's go home. "

Gustav immediately held Lisa ala newlyweds, and left Devan who picked up his suit. 

Inside Gustav's sling, Lisa moved to get her down. But the more Lisa moved, the more Gustav tightened his arm.

"Gus, put me down! I can walk on my own" Lisa rebelled while swinging her legs. 

"Shut up!" snapped Gustav who made Lisa silent for a moment. 

Lisa looked up at the face of Gustav who was holding back in anger. Now Lisa realizes there is a big difference between Gustav's attitude before and after the man's amnesia. 

Upon arrival at home, Gustav dropped Lisa off right in front of the bedroom door. Then came Devan, breathless, after Gustav. 

"Lisa, do you need my help?" Devan asked. 

"Help change your clothes?" it wasn't Lisa who said it, it was Gustav in a sullen tone. 

Making Devan turn to Gustav and the two men again stared with eyes hostile to each other. Lisa who was among them could only sigh and immediately close the door. 

Devan took one step forward clutching Gustav's wet shirt. 

"We are both adult men, so I ask that we both fight for love fairly, " said Devan who did not accept because Gustav always prevented him from getting Lisa's attention. 

"Okay, let's ask Lisa directly. Who he chose between the two of us. Me," Gustav pointed at his chest, then moved to Devan's chest. "Or You."

Devan agreed. 

"agree. Whoever loses, has to go away and not bother Lisa anymore."
