The Not Perfect Couple

Chapter 17 - - Reunited

Crackle... Crackle... Crackle

Alexa held her flat stomach that began to rumble, until there was the sound of worms from inside there protesting to be filled. With a shaky step, Alexa exited her room, climbed down the stairs and headed for the kitchen. There are many pauk dishes found, ranging from those in dry fried, stir-fried to coconut milk like rendang. But none of it appeals to Alexa's taste.

I want to eat instant noodles, muttered Alexa as her eyes searched for the existence of that thing.

There are no instant noodles in this mansion. Alexa just remembered, both parents strongly forbid eating fast food, instant noodles one of them.

I bought it outside, then looked at the watch that showed at 10:40 p.m. If the stomach is not filled immediately, he will not be able to sleep well until morning.

As Alexa walks toward the main door about to exit the house, she meets Aira on the stairs. His sister looked at him in wonder.

"Where is midnight like this, Git?" ask Aira.

"I want to eat instant noodles brother, in this house will not have stock, so I buy outside ya."

"Eat the other one. It's night, time you go out and buy night like this." The look on Aira's face showed concern, at night like this, her only sister wanted to go out of the house to buy instant noodles.

"For the same taste noodles, brother Aira."

"Yes already, ask to buy it with brother GO-JEK only yes. I'm ordering it."

"No, let me go. I'd like something to buy besides noodles."

"OK okay, but still I order GO-JEK, you just ride GO-JEK to the Supermarket in front of ya."

"All right." Alexa according to him.

Alexa has what she wants to buy. Each half a dozen instant noodles fried and boiled, a few packs of chocolate biscuits, refreshments, there are also shampoos and conditioners, not to mention the ice cream he bought 2 flavors, chocolate and strawberries.

After paying for all the goods, Alexa came out of the supermarket and walked casually while carrying her grocery bag.

Not far in front of the supermarket, which was facing the highway, Alexa slowed her steps. From across the street, Alexa caught 3 figures wearing black clothes, not ninjas like in the Japanese film, but wearing black jackets, some in black shirts, black shirts, with jeans torn-up thighs, hair let alone messy, was walking towards him.

Getting closer, Alexa could smell the alcohol from the three men. How'this? They must be bad guys, some kind of thief, stalker, rapist or worse a killer? What would Alexa do? Run? It feels useless because the third step of the creepy-faced man is very fast and now it is in front of Alexa.

"Miss, what kind of night did you come out on your own? Not scared, are you?" The man in a black jacket with shaggy hair asked Alexa. 3 pairs of eyes jal*ng it pay attention to Alexa from top to bottom. I want it to feel like Alexa prying those eye seeds, but what a power, in the middle of the night and a quiet place like this.

"Don't come any closer or you'll die tonight." Alexa tried to threaten, her index finger one by one directed at the 3 spooky men. His eyes were also trying to bulge wide.

Hearing the Alexa threat, the three men were even scattered.

"Miss don't misunderstand. We're not bad people. We just wanted to have fun" one of the men said, then another laugh.

*Are they not bad people? Ta*so scary, hiss Alexa.

Truth be told Alexa was very scared, her body was shaking, but she could not show that she was weak. In the middle of the night and this desolate place, who would help him if not himself. It's a miracle if someone comes to help.

"Don't you fuck around, can I call my husband here to beat you up" Husband? Alexa was confused by her own words. Since when did she get married and call someone a husband?

"Oh yeah? Why didn't your husband accompany you Miss? Does he not love his wife to let this beautiful wife run away on her own?"

"He certainly loves me very much. Just so you know, he's so strong, the three of you are nothing. So you better leave, before I call her."

"Call Miss, we're wondering what kind of strength Miss' husband is."

What the fuck are they? Not afraid to even tell me to come here, even if I am stupid, who is the husband I mean? How now? Oh my God, help this servant of yours.

Ah, at a time like this, his face still sucks.

Deep down Alexa pleads for Juna to be here, somehow, that annoying, perverted guy has to be here and beat up this bad guy, if necessary until battered.

The three spooky-looking men began to approach, one of them snatching the groceries in Alexa's hands. The woman was shocked to death. His body was trembling even more, the legs used to support his body felt limp.

No, you can't pass out here, I don't want to die.

Looking at the face of the prospective victim who was pale, the three spooky men moved closer and closer, but suddenly stopped because of the woman's loud scream.

YOOOOOO!

Alexa was unable to hold back her fear, until she involuntarily shouted Juna's name while crouching to her knees.

The three spooky men were satisfied, but it did not last long because a hard lunge hit the back of one of them. In an instant, there was a fistfight between someone and the three men.

Alexa who was shocked because someone had come to save her, immediately got up. Her legs were limp, slightly improved. His eyes, which had dimmed with fear, were now almost jumping out. How not? There Juna was fighting with three men.

"So he's your husband, miss? You're right, he's pretty strong." In the crossfire, there was still one of them talking.

Shit, why did he say that? Just embarrass me, Alexa grumbled.

Before long, Juna ended the fight by making the three men battered like Alexa's wish earlier. It looks like Juna rubbed his hands like he was cleaning the stains that were stuck there. He approached Alexa with a face that was hard to guess.

"Lo's okay?" Juna's hands were raised cupped on both sides of Alexa's face. His eyes also stared intensely, sweeping every corner of the female face that had since disturbed his mind.

"They didn't touch you, did they? Tell me, let me finish them. Alexa, Lex?" Juna was so worried, when fighting earlier his chest continued to pound incoherently along with the roar of his breathing that was pumped up. Wanting to hurry he beat up the three men who dared to disturb his. What, hers? Juna is still sane, right?

While Alexa, painstakingly aware of the delusion that bounces out of nowhere. Juna saved him. Then now Juna cupped both sides of his cheeks.

Juna is worried about me? Does he really like me?

"Alexa, you're okay, right?"

"I'm fine." said Alexa seeking a smile 3 fingers.

"Thank you." Juna breathed a sigh of relief. Removing her hands from Alexa's cheeks, Juna picked up a bag of groceries scattered, then another hand holding Alexa's hand took her to the car.

Juna drove back in silence with Alexa sitting in the passenger seat next to him. Alexa also fell silent in her place. Silence now dominates. Until finally Juna turned on the radio, to neutralize there is a warm rustling heart in there. A love song belonging to the solo male singer 'Tulus' entitled 'Shoes' airs filling the hearing room of both.

Alexa just looked at the streets while lapping the beautiful song until she realized the road that was being passed was very foreign. Alexa then enforce its position.

"Loh, this isn't the way back to my house. Juna, where are you taking me?"

"My apartment." Juna answered without looking.

"What?"
