chapter 25

Warm morning sun greeted my day. Lazily, I pulled back the thick blanket that helped me stay warm all night, even though it wasn't as warm as Evan's arms. Ah, Evan, I miss him so much. It's been the second day since he left. I grabbed my cell phone which was lying on the nightstand, then tapped the call board on Evan's contact. There was no answer until the operator's voice was heard. Is he still sleeping? Well, maybe. In fact, yesterday morning he already called me and said good morning romantic. And this morning I had to be disappointed because it didn't seem like Evan would do that. All right, please don't get bored Shalena! Please don't worry and worry about nonsense. Evan's there working, really working for you. Yes, I have to be sure!

Just when I got out of bed, my cell phone rang, an incoming call signal. Immediately, I grabbed it again, hoping it was a call from Evan but, I had to be disappointed again, it turned out to be a call from Gea.

"Shalena! How are you, my God? How many days I didn't see you!"

Immediately, I put the cellphone away from my ear. Ghost, Gea's loud voice made my ears buzz.

"My ears are still normal, Gea! Oh my God, why do I have a friend as stupid as you !?" I grumbled irritably. And you know what Gea's response is? He's laughing out loud right there! Jeez, he really is!

"Come here quickly. If you haven't been here for an hour, I'll make sure Om Dony picks you up there!" Shit! Om Dony is Sayko's man who hired me for the night. I thought we were just going to have casual sex, and what turned out to be? He almost killed me. He's a necrophilic. You know necrophilia, right? A kind of mental disorder, where the person prefers to make love to a corpse. Some of them kill their sex partners before making love. Really crazy! Luckily at that time I got away by kicking his cock and then throwing the man with the jar. Huh, it was such a dreadful experience that I was starting to get wary of customers.

Almost a week I was scared to death after that. I almost wanted to quit being a prostitute, but unfortunately Madam Liya didn't let me, so I couldn't help but fight my fear. Inevitably I have to continue to wrestle in the world of prostitution with my fear. Yes, even after that I became selective in choosing customers.

All right, back to my conversation with Gea, one of the people who know about the incident besides Barry. I really want to kill Gea for bringing up Om Dony's problem again.

"What? You damn friend! What a pushover." I cursed irritably.

Again Gea laughed on the other side. My God, I want to strangle my friend's neck.

"I'm waiting. Bye!" Tuuut. Call disconnected unilaterally.

See. He really always makes me want to throw myself into the ocean floor filled with a thousand sharks! My God, just drown me!

I entered Gea's house after the security guard told me to go straight in on Gea's orders. The main door of the mansion was wide open. I entered straight away. I visited this house once, when Gea asked me to accompany her because no one was home, of course it was two years ago before I ran away from home. Because after I ran away, I never got in touch with Gea again, at that time I really went alone, without wanting to trouble other people. However, four months after that, I met Gea again at the supermarket and we started communicating again and even went out together a lot. Yes, after that we really became friends --a real--

Gea's house hasn't changed, it's still the same as it was two years ago. Starting from the interior to the quiet atmosphere.

"Non Shalena, huh?" asked a middle-aged woman as I walked slowly through the sizable living room.

I nodded. "Yes, Bi." I replied.

"Non Gea is in her room, upstairs. Non is told to go straight there. Shall I take her?" asked the woman politely.

"No need, Bi," I replied, which was immediately nodded back by the Aunt. "Gea's room is still on the second floor near the stairs, right?" I asked.

"Yes, that's right, Non."

I nodded then continued walking towards Gea's room. And as I climbed the stairs, only at the fifth step, my eyes caught a sight that ... Shit! Two lovebirds who are kissing each other's lips on the sofa that I have a crush on is the family room. Ghost, it's that crazy guy Keyshon! Basic. Apart from being arrogant, arrogant and annoying, it turns out that he also has no brains! How could he kiss in his house --in an open room-- like that? Come on, the family room is located not far from the stairs leading to the second floor, on the right side of the stairs to be more precise. Didn't he think that anyone would see that scene? It could be Bibi, her parents or even Gea. Shameless. Even though I'm a whore, I don't want to be invited to make love in a place like that, unless there's no one around.

Ah never mind. Forget the crazy guy, I'd better get to Gea's room and forget the disgusting thing about Keyshon.

Not long after, I arrived at Gea's room and was greeted excitedly as usual by the girl. Oh my God, even though he just recovered. But that's Gea, excited as usual. I don't know where the sadness of yesterday went

Almost four in the afternoon I just rushed home after a day of spending time with Gea. Starting from listening to Gea's story about her boyfriend, Kyle, to watching dramas that I really don't like.

"Be careful on the road, Shalena!" said Gea after I finished combing my hair.

"Yes. You rest. Eat and take medicine regularly," I mumbled.

Gea's response? Over acting! He hugged me tight. "Oh God, thank you, Shalena! Even though you are being fierce, but you still care about me!"

Jeez. I rolled my eyes lazily.

"Yes yes yes. I'm home!" I said. Gea nodded and smiled broadly.

Picking up my shoulder bag on the nightstand, I walked over to the door and ... Bugh!

"Oh my God, Shalena!" Gea's scream made me glance at her for a second, then looked back at the front, more precisely at the face of the damn man who just opened the door so hard it hit my face.

"Sorry!" The tall man spoke softly with a flat face. I want to strangle him right now. Right, right now. What's more, when that man walked calmly towards Gea and said something, without guilt to me.

I walked over to him and ... Bugh! One full force blow using my bag to his head I think is enough. Keyshon grimaced, then glared at me.

"What! Do you want to be angry?" I said with my chin held high. "My forehead hurts more from the banging of the door opened by a madman and an idiot than your head which I only hit with a bag. What a bitch!"

After saying that, I walked away leaving Keyshon and Gea who were just wheezing. But of course before that, I stepped on Keyshon's foot so hard that he grimaced. Feel it! My ten-inch wedge, right, can make quite a bruise if you step on it. I smiled broadly even though my forehead was still a little sore.
