The bus continued to run through the darkness of the night. The exhausted Melody involuntarily fell asleep still in a curled position while hugging her knees. The girl jumped in shock when suddenly the bus conductor woke her up to check the ticket.
Geez! Melody doesn't have a ticket. How'this?
"The ticket!" The bus conductor extended his hand towards Melody.
"Lost, Sir!" Reply Melody stuttered. And lying of course.
"But it paid?" Ask the conductor to make sure.
"It's over!" Melody answered as confidently as possible.
"Yes already! Where are you going down?" Ask the conductor again.
"Where is it?" Melody asked back and looked confused.
The bus conductor frowned in wonder.
"Don't you buy tickets? Time doesn't know where the foam's headed?"
"You're lying don't!" The bus driver began to suspect.
"Eee, of course not, sir! Sorry!"
"I got off at the last terminal" Melody replied quickly trying to shake off the conductor's suspicions.
"Last terminal? Wanna wander? Or is there a brother?" Ask the kepo driver while scanning Melody's appearance.
"There are brothers there" Melody answered lying. Melody doesn't even know which terminal the bus is going to be in. Melody also has no brothers in other cities. So Melody was completely blind now what would she do after arriving at the last terminal later? There's not a dime in Melody's hands.
Is Melody going to be a bum?
The bus was still on its way and Melody was just staring blankly at the window of the bus which started to show the lights from a distance. Could it be that it was the city that Melody would be aiming for?
How will Melody continue to live after this?
What about Melody's mother after Melody left home?
Hopefully you can take care of yourself and immediately separate from the man named Baj*ngan Seno sir!
****
"Mom!"
Melody jumped in shock, as the bus conductor woke her up. It was clear and the bus stopped at a terminal.
"It's over, Ma'am!" The conductor again.
"Huh?" Melody hurriedly looked at the window of the bus, and there were already people lined up inside the terminal.
"Royal down, Ma'am! How do you dream?" Get rid of the bus conductor who immediately makes Melody move from her seat. Despite a slight hesitation, Melody finally stepped out of the bus, then circulated her gaze to some corner of the terminal.
Geez!
Where is melody now?
Melody walked aimlessly, and only followed a few prospective passengers who were either going anywhere. Melody really had no purpose now, and Melody also felt hungry and thirsty. But it was impossible to buy food because Melody had no money at all.
Melody's footsteps finally led the girl to sit on a long bench near the food vendor. The fragrant aroma of cooking directly pierced Melody's nose and made the girl swallow the saliva repeatedly. Melody's hunger was also increasingly inevitable, but once again, Melody was only able to stare at people who were enjoying their food voraciously.
Melody can't begging. But Melody is hungry and needs to eat. Melody could pass out if she didn't fill her stomach.
Melody was still going along with her daydream, as suddenly a man in a neat suit sat beside Melody without keeping his distance.
Huh!
Who is this guy?
Was he on the phone with someone?
Melody was still silent and chose to slightly shift her seat.
"Miss Claudia, the great sir is suddenly sick because of the news of the kidnapping that befell you," said the man who followed by shifting his seat and approached Melody.
"Sorry, are you talking to me?" Melody asked because the man next to her was so chatty.
"Of course, Miss Claudia!" Answer the man again.
"I'm sorry, I'm not Miss Claudia. I'm Melody!" Melody said firmly as she got up from her seat and was about to leave.
But suddenly a group of people who looked like men in suits had approached towards Melody and seemed to be about to surround Melody.
"What do you want?" Melody inched backwards.
"Let's go home, Miss Claudia!" Invite those people who continue to call Melody as Claudia, Claudia, Claudia.
Who's Claudia?
"I told you I'm not Claudia! I'm Melody!" Melody was about to run away, but the people in neat suits prevented her from quickly and immediately led Melody, then she stepped into a car.
"Where am I going to take you?" Melody asked thrashing and was about to get out. But the car was locked and Melody can't escape now.
"I'm not Miss Claudia!" Melody shouted while not stopping to hit the car window. But no one seemed to care about Melody's screams.
"Take me off!" Shouted Melody again along with the car that had sped away and was either going to take Melody where.
Flashback the day before....
"Tell Papa if I suddenly disappear or anything! Whatever!" Claudia's message to Abrisam, Papa Aaron Setyawan's confidant and Claudia's friend.
"But, Miss! Mr. Aaron will worry and think. What if Mr. Aaron thinks you've been kidnapped, and so on?" bright Sam, close call Abrisam.
"Leave it! I'm only on vacation for a while and I don't want those annoying papa guards that are dozens of them following me!
"Not to mention Matthew's bodyguard who will follow me. I want to take a vacation by myself, and I'll be home next week!" Claudia said to Sam.
But it's all for your safety, Miss!" Sam is still trying to give some understanding.
"I know how to take care of myself, and I don't need them all as bodyguards! I just want to go on vacation and be free, but Matthew's still overseas."
"It!" Claudia gave Sam her phone.
"What should I do, miss?" Sam asked confusedly.
"Whatever!" Claudia had opened the car door and was wearing her hat and sunglasses.
"Where are you going, Miss Claudia?" Sam asked Claudia, who had dragged her suitcase and was about to enter the airport.
"Interminated!"
"Bhai!" Claudia waves at Sam, then enters the airport with other prospective passengers .
