MINERVO 123: Let Them In

“Log in!” The big-bodied police force pushed Lizzie and Rara's backs into the prison cell violently. Rara's knee almost fell onto the tile, as she entered the iron bar room. “That's a concern. Girls of your age should enjoy youth by playing and studying, not even committing criminal crimes until locked up in a place like this! I don't even know anymore how to educate dangerous girls like you guys!” The policeman squinted his eyes at Lizzie and Rara. “Come to your mistakes, hopefully with this, you can be made aware.”

After saying that, the big-bodied police locked the cell inhabited by Lizzie and Rara, then stepped away. The two of them looked pondering, thinking about how unlucky their lives were. Lizzie couldn't contain her anger, she kicked the iron that locked her up nonstop, making a deafening noise. Rara was just speechless, watching her best friend craze in front of her. Their hands were not handcuffed, although it was useless for Lizzie, because her right arm had not healed and was still tied.

The smell of rotten and dirty place makes Rara uncomfortable to be here, she wants to go home soon to Lizzie. Rara did not want to spend the rest of her life in a slum like this. Lizzie gritted her teeth, irritated by the situation. Should only be him imprisoned, Rara did not need to rot in this place. Lizzie's anger turned out to be more centered on Rara's condition. She doesn't want to see a girl as small as Rara being here, she doesn't want to see her tormented best friend in prison with her.

“BRASS!” Lizzie curses in annoyance as the faces of Rara's family cross her memory. They are all rotten humans who do not deserve to live in this world. His left hand clenched tightly, until his fingernails pierced deeply into his own palm. The drops of blood from the palms pierced by his nails stained the tiles in the room, Lizzie did not feel any pain at all.

Knowing that there was blood on her best friend's left hand, Rara immediately approached and exclaimed, “Stop! Lizzie! You can hurt your own hands!” Rara tried to let go of her best friend's left fist, so as not to make her nail stab deeper. But how many times did Rara try, not being able to let go. Lizzie's energy is completely insane. “Lizzie! Please! Don't make me sad! Enough of your right arm breaking! Don't make your left hand hurt too! Don't you feel sorry for yourself!?”

“Do not approach me, Rara,” said Lizzie in a low voice, her breathing began to stabilize. It seemed like the anger that had exploded, was beginning to subside. “I'm afraid I can't control myself. Just leave it like this, I don't care about my body. I am immune to pain. So, stay away for a minute.”

“You lied! You lied! You lied!” Rara seemed not to believe Lizzie's talk, she could tell that it was all a lie. Don't underestimate the bonds of friendship, Rara has been in a relationship with Lizzie from five years old, and that's why she can understand all the emotions buried in the mind of her best friend. Lizzie was now in pain, Rara was very sure. Not only his hand was injured, but his heart. “You always have been, no matter how you feel, you never reveal it to me. You're just showing off your anger, but not the pain. You act like a tough human being, but I know you're fragile! So stop, please! Don't make yourself hurt any deeper, Lizzie!”

His anger became very calm, when he heard Rara's words. Slowly, Lizzie relaxed her entire body, including removing the powerful fist on her left hand. The orange-haired girl let herself fall on the tile, lamenting her best friend's talk about herself. It seems like all this time, he was indeed lousy. Pain in hiding his pent-up emotions, until Rara can realize it clearly. That's shameful.

“I...,” Lizzie sighed, her face so much calmer. “...apologies.”

A small smile was immediately engraved on Rara's tiny lips, she was happy because Lizzie was already willing to show her deepest feelings. Rara walked over, then she pinched Lizzie's cheek hard. “You are like a child, you are.” said Rara while showing her disorganized teeth to Lizzie.

Lizzie smiled and tightly hugged Rara's body. “Little boys like you don't deserve to hunt me down, Rara!”

“In the cell where you locked the two girls! Show me!” Without displaying the slightest fear, Paul dared to yell at the policemen standing guard in the room. Isabella and Abbas were standing next to her, while the online taxi that drove them here had left.

Of course, knowing themselves to be suddenly snapped by a very young man, made each of them, feel humiliated. The policemen approached Paul with an intimidating aura, as if they could not bear to eliminate everything in front of him.

“There's your manners!” exclaim one of them at Paul with his eyes wide open. “You think who you're talking to?”

Unwilling to lose, Paul also showed an aura of oppressing him, no matter who his interlocutors were. For Paul, all humans are the same. He's not afraid of anyone. As long as he feels right, Paul won't back down.

“Are you deaf?” gritting Paul with a windy face, his teeth clapping at each other. “Count, where did you guys lock those two girls!”

To be honest Isabella and Abbas did not like to see Paul being rude to the police, because it would only make the problem worse. But they couldn't hold Paul back, given his mentor's character was very hard and hard to speak to. They only resignedly looked at the expressions of the police who looked angry at Paul's behavior, it seems Isabella and Abbas must prepare themselves if a bad possibility befall them.

But, just as they thought so, suddenly one of the policemen shouted, “LET THEM ENTER!”

Suddenly, so shocked, Paul, Isabella, and Abbas were wide-eyed. Whatisthis? Why were they welcome to enter after Paul was so rude, was there something behind it? The three of them were both astonished, but whatever it was, it didn't matter. Paul along with his two heroes, immediately walked in casually.

“What do you think!?” His comrades did not accept the order, they all looked at his friend who had just shouted. “The kids have no manners! Why did you let them in just like that!?”

“This is an order from the commander!” answer the policeman who was screaming. “We must serve the community well, no matter what the situation!”
