1 - The Arrival

A gust of wind in late spring blew the girl's red hair, she recalled the first time she went to this airport while dropping off her schoolmate while she was still being accused in elementary school, but this time, he was the one sitting on the waiting room bench. Rose, the twenty-five-year-old woman seemed to be sighing as she stretched her stiff neck. He waited for an hour in the airport seat. Anxiety came back to him, this was the first time he was on a plane.his brown iris was still glued to the small watch he was wearing.

He again confirmed the documents he would need to board the plane later. Women with average height, oval faces, and casual clothes, that's what people see in Rose, but who knows why she left her own town? There aren't. Moments later, the twenty-five-year-old woman walked towards the departure gate. Eventually he will embark on a new journey, away from all the things he left behind.

The flight only lasted a few hours before Rose finally reached her destination, and none of the other passengers knew it was her first flight. Although in his heart he was full of thump, but he could breathe a sigh of relief when the plane landed safely. Rose observed the airport where he had just landed, this airport was not much different from the airport in his city, only with hotter weather and also people who spoke different languages.

Rose walked among the crowd, trying to get out of the airport area. With her fingers typing something on her phone several times, Rose's eyes occasionally glanced at the HP screen, making sure that she had booked the car online correctly. No one's picking him up here. A new city without a single person she recognizes, except a friend from her social media who somehow last exchanged messages. A good start for Rose.

After ten minutes of walking towards the exit, Rose's eyes tried to search for the car she called. The woman finally found the car she was looking for, the car drove towards the inn she had rented. Along the way, Rose observed the rows of buildings as well as the people. In his heart he felt impatient to start his work immediately.

...****************...

Rose looked at the room he rented with satisfaction, it was not in vain that he spent the money he had collected for so many months just to pay for this inn for a whole month, he also had to clean and clean the room. The woman laid her tired body on the mattress while looking at the contents of her social media at HP.

Suddenly the phone he was holding shook, the screen showed an incoming call.

“Halo Ann, what's up?” ask Rose.

“Hai, where are you? Have you arrived?" ask another girl across the line.

"Wait, how do you know?"

"You told me the date of your departure here. But when I get to the airport it seems you have a hard time getting into a taxi,” obviously the girl with a laugh at the end of her sentence.

"Sorry, I forgot."

"Why don't you say anything when you leave, I can wait for you at the airport."

"Yes.yes.I know. I'm so busy with my own thoughts" Rose replied with a hint of guilt.

"Are you packing things?"

"You're right again... Why Ann?"

"If you're done cleaning up let's go out,” said the voice across.

“Lucky sakali I just finished cleaning up" sahur Rose excited.

"Let's go outside if that's the case," Ann asked.

"Where are you going? Sorry, I didn't say when I was leaving. I don't want to be troublesome,” Rose said.

“This you, no need to hesitate so. Quickly tell me where your inn is, I'll pick you up and take you for a walk. You must still not know the way around here, I can show important places later,” said Annie. from the sound of the child's voice was excited.

“Yes yes, I will share my location. What time are you here?” ask Rose

“I leave in twenty minutes, yes I've been waiting for the address,” said Annie cut off the conversation.

Rose sent out her location and rushed towards the bathroom, this was the first time she would meet Annie after knowing the girl for three years. All this time they were just friends through social media because of the long distance. Rose had seen Annie's face in the photo several times, but it still felt different from meeting in person.

Twenty-five minutes later, Annie sent a message telling her she was in front of Rose's inn. Rose rushed out and saw a girl with white skin, chubby cheeks and a little younger than Rose, the girl had a lower height than Rose, from her appearance, Annie still sits in High School.

“Annie?” call Rose.

“Rose.. hi..! Finally we can meet in person, you look bigger than in the photo” said Annie with a slightly childish smile.

Rose smiled at Annie's spirit. “ You also appear shorter than the one in the photo," Rose replied in a mischievous tone. A moment Annie's pouting face was seen then vanished instantly.

"Ehmm..."

" Where do you want to take me?”

“Already come, ayok” said Annie dragged Rose to ride her motorcycle.

The two of them toured the city visiting malls, parks, libraries, recreation areas, grocery stores, and markets. Lastly, they visited a small cafe, located quite far away on the outskirts of the city, or just call it a village. The cafe was quite crowded for small cafes in general.look some cool visitors conversing with some officials who can be said good-looking. Rose observed the cafe clerk with a feeling of slight astonishment.

“What's Rose?” ask Annie.

“It's okay, I'm just a little surprised, the employees here are all beautiful and handsome.”

Annie laughed at Rose's words.

Rose raised one eyebrow at Annie's explanation, “Well, some people are indeed endowed with good genes.”

“Forget about that, what's your next plan?”

“I applied at a nearby company and did some odd jobs while waiting I also got an interview call tomorrow,” Rose replied.

“Wah.it's good. By the way, if you want a part-time job, I have one recommendation that you can do,” Annie said.

“What is it?”

“You are a courier, here some people are too lazy to send their goods. Meanwhile, they could not leave the goods to an ordinary expedition because they needed the goods to arrive quickly. If you open a special courier service in the city, I think there will be many people who wear your services.”

“That's a good idea, but where should I promote later?” ask Rose.

“Simple, you just make the pamphlet. Later I help put it in the community that is on social media. well.you can put the rate between twenty to fifty thousand depending on the distance.”.

“Thank you Ann, I'll make the pamphlet later.”

Arriving in the room, Rose immediately made a pamphlet according to Annie's advice even with a simple design but still fruitful. Since this was only the first time he had made a service like this, Rose decided to limit the distance of his services to only two KM from where he lived. After sending the file to Annie, Rose contacted several motorbike rental numbers. Fifteen minutes later, Rose ended her conversation on the phone.

Rose laid her body on the bed while staring at the ceiling of the room. He'll have to go to bed early tonight so as not to get sleepy during tomorrow's interview.

Silence.the clock shows ten o'clock at night.This silence brings Rose to the old memory that he tried to pendam far away. The woman shook her head, trying to shake off the bad memory. He had no time to be weak, not for now.

...****************...

Rose heaved a sigh of relief after coming out of the interview room, a smile stretched out on her lips. He was quite confident that he would be accepted into the company based on the response he received. Rose only had to wait three days before the results were announced. In the meantime, he can start doing his odd job. The woman's smile grew even more when she saw some notifications on her phone taxbar signifying the number of orders she received. If he completes all deliveries today, he won't have to worry about living expenses for the next three days.

All this he got in just a day, what about a week or a month? If she is not accepted into the company, Rose feels quite confident she can provide for herself just from her part-time work. Rose went home and pulled out the motorcycle she rented. After installing a special bag to put the goods, he began to drive his motorbike to the location of the package collection.

A few days passed with Rose preoccupied by her part-time work. After memorizing the path, Rose expanded her service distance. Just now he had put up a new pamphlet, an order coming in at HP Rose. Unlike other orders, most of which are in houses. This time Rose's order came from a fairly large area of industry and local companies . Several times Rose passed through the company area and saw a fairly tight guard.

Rose looked at some of the notes written by the booker, to show the guard this message to allow Rose to enter. In his heart he wondered why his item was not left in the guard so as not to be too troublesome, but Rose chose to comply with the request. Because honestly he was also curious, what kind of contents of the company building. Rose saw information about the company on the internet. It seems that this is only the Laboratory used for the development of drugs for livestock and pets, nothing so incline to look at.

Sunlight is replaced with darkness at night. Ros lay down feeling excited after what he could accomplish today. Rose slept well. Meanwhile on the other hand, not far from the company complex that Rose was heading to tomorrow, several figures mingled with the trees and the darkness of the night. The figures scan the firm areas with abnormal irises of their eyes. Their eyes were watching closely.

“How?” ask one of them.

Sounding from his heavy and sharp voice, this figure was a male.

“It is difficult to barge in with such tight guard,” replied a voice that sounded like a girl.

“Did you get something new El?” asked the man again, the moonlight momentarily glimmered their figures mingling with the darkness of the night and the rows of pine trees.

“My system just picked up their communication signal with someone. It seems they will send the goods through the package,” explained the girl, she turned around while facing the man. From the height of the girl who was much shorter, it could be concluded who was older between the two of them.

“Package? kidding me? Who do they contact?” asked the man again, this time his figure was really visible under the moonlight, the old gray-haired man with dark red irises glanced sharply at the Lab building they were observing.

“I'm sure brother, it's just a courier who recently started opening delivery sevice. I've checked the courier's data and he has no relationship at all with them,” Elga replied seriously.

Seen fingers fingers fingers of the girl play agile on the device he holds, some headsets are also watches with technology that he developed himself adorn the appearance of the punk-style girl.

“What will we do kak?” ask the other girl standing behind them.

“What if we make the courier faint and grab the package?” elga's Plan.

“I think what they send tomorrow is not the stuff we're after. Maybe they just want to see if we will attack the courier,”. This time his voice was a little more dubious.

“Then, are we going to let that courier?” ask Elga.

“No, we'll stop him and grab the package. But we're not gonna make him faint. Instead, we make it look as if we purposely let him go. If later they try to use another courier, we will take action on those couriers.” jeals the gray-haired man.

“Do you plan to make the new courier as bait, sister Zi?” the third figure behind them finally asked.

“When they thought there was something special about the courier and started investigating, that's when we moved,” Zi said as she left.
