That same day, when Hie and Neefa meet, the afternoon class is over. The school bell signals the whole school that class is over, student went on their way home. The fierce orange color of the sky makes the surrounding warm despite the winter season.
“Hie-kun, see you tomorrow okay?” Neefa said.
“Oh, ok, see you later then, I’ll go to the market first, I have to stock up my supply.” Hie waving his hands.
“You live alone Hie-kun?” Neefa asked.
“Yeah, my parents work a bit far from home, so I’m the only one staying at our house.” Hie said looking lonely.
“Is that so? Uhmm, I guess we’ll just meet tomorrow. Bye” Neefa declared.
“Bye.” Hie waved again.
Hie and Neefa walked different ways after the reached the gate of the school. As Neefa walks straight forward, slowly and elegantly, her hair sways left and right now that she found herself a friend. While Hie is walking, he stops suddenly and looked back and saw a brilliant red hair swaying left and right, a short girl with elegant posture.
“A friend huh?” Hie told himself.
…
Neefa’s face seems happy, mumbling things as she found herself a new friend. She’s walking by a park, but because of the weather, there’s no one there, mostly kids will stay at home to play with their gadgets but there are few who still hangout in the park. But today, not a single soul can be seen.
“What should I cook for dinner?” Neefa asked herself. “Curry might be good this time around.” She smiled as she agrees to her own suggestion.
She keeps on smiling with glee then she starts skipping. But then, a huge man wearing a red leather jacket was backing down on something and Neefa hits the guy.
“What the…?!” The guy said as he dropped his can of drink.
“Oh, I’m terribly sorry mister, I didn’t notice you walking backwards.” Neefa apologizes.
“Oi, what happened dude, look, your jacket is messed up!” Another guy in black jacket walks in.
“I’m really sorry about what happened, I didn’t mean to…” Neefa still apologizing but was cut off.
“Sorry will not gonna cut it.” The guy in red jacket said.
“But, it was an accident. I was just….” Neefa explained but was cut off again.
“Hey, no worries, but if you can come with us, we’ll figure something out for my jacket.” The guy in red jacket suddenly hold Neefa’s right hand.
“Yeah, hang out with us for a while cutie, we’ll show you how to have a good time.” The guy in white said.
“No, I got to get home. Sorry but I can’t come.” Neefa said.
Neefa tries to get loose to the grip of the in red but the guy holds her hand even tighter. The guys’ faces were smiling in a creepy way and Neefa started to feel the danger.
