Chapter 1

I was fixing my things and put it on my bag, when someone tap my shoulder from behind.

It was Ashley my one and only friend.

She face me and pinch both of my cheeks at the same time.

"Hey.. Hurry up."

I take one of her hand and she stopped.

"Come with me and I'll treat you." she said

"Okay.." I replied and she smiled at me. She hold my hand and pulled me.

My life was full of darkness and sorrow.

My mother died right after giving birth to me, When I was 5 my father got merried again and I was living with him and his new family.

I was mistreated and abused by my stepmother and stepsister but my father never cared for me, so when I was 10 I ran away and lived in my grandparents.

In my grandparents place I was like a slave, I have to wake up 5 a.m and cooked for my grandparents and my aunt and her daughter, sometimes the food won't be enough for us so I have to skip a meal.

After they eat I have to do dishes and I also have to wash clothes. Everyone in our neighborhood hated me without having a clear reasons.

When I was 12 my aunt almost killed me because I accidentally broke her cellphone.

And when I was 13 my father killed my grandparents because they won't give him his money that time everyone bullies me because of having a criminal father,and a month after I turned 14 I killed someone.

But despite of all that you still smiled like this when you face me you never leave me, you don't know how much you mean to me my dear friend.

"Hey.. Why are crying?"

"Huhh?"

She let go of a big sigh and take some tissue inside her bag and wiped my tears.

"Thank you!"

"Geez... Stop crying... Your such a crybaby!"

I hug her and she hug me back, she tap my back.

"I want to be your friend until the day I die.." I said that made her stop and let go of me.

" Me too..." she said and smiled brightly and I smiled back

'It hurts everywhere. I can't move. What happens?'

" Ai...ra.."

'Ashley voice?'

" Ai...ra o..pe aha aha(cough) o..pen you..r eyes."

' Ashley where are you?'

I slowly opened my eyes and tears started to from my eyes.

"Ash..le.. Ash.."

I saw Ashley laying a bit far from me. I slowly get up but I can't, so I reach out my hands and she did the same thing as I did. .

" Ai...ra don. cry.. aha! (cough) aha! (cough)" she cough blood, blood flow from her forehead but she still smiles at me.

" (sob) (sob) Ash..ley!" I called up her name as I saw her slowly closing her eyes

" Ash..le... D..don't.. Lea..ve.. Me.."

Ashley didn't answer me so I decided to go to her. I used all of my strength to crawl towards her.

' ahh.. I'm dizzy.'

'Ashley. Ashley. Please wake u-

I hold her hand and called out her name.

"Ashley ahh...-"

* Wew Wow Wew Wow*

A sound of the ambulance siren was the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness.

And now I'm standing in front of her grave while holding a bouquet of her favorite flower, pink rose and white daisy.

It's been 3 years since that day, We were inside the bus were on our way home when an accident occurred the bus brake were broken and we fall in a small cliff.

"Ever since then I promise myself that I won't cry in front of you again but.. Ahhhhh hohhh Ashley..."

'The doctor says that I was so lucky that I survived that day but there wrong.'

"Ashley...."

I fall into my knees and cries loud. I don't care if someone sees me like this.

"Ashle-"

"Aira!"

"Ashley... Ahhhh why did you leave me...."

"Aira.."

"Ashle--"

"Aira!"

' eh.. That voice. '

"Ash..ley? Is that you?"

"Yes.. Aira it's me.."

I hurriedly stands up and cried.

"It seems like I'm going crazy! (sob) (sob)"

"...I told you stop crying." I saw Ashley standing in front of me and suddenly wiped my face with tissue like she always does.

"Aira..." She smiled genuinely like she always does

"Ash..ley (sob) (sob)"

"Please live happily without me.. Aira.." she said.

"I'll try Ashley.." I smile and then she suddenly disappeared.

***

"Everything sucks ohh..." Aira sang while walking, but every step she took she always fall because of being drunk.

She's now currently walking home with herself along with her bottle of alcohol she was holding in her right hand.

"No.. Kidding..." she sang again, she lean on the street light post and drink. " (gulped) (gulped) (gulped) Ahhhhh..."

'this paking Layp..' she cussed at her mind. She was about to walk again when she saw six man approached her. She saw six man but they were only 3 man.

"... What do you want? Hahhh?" she asked them with a drunk tone.

"Your money... If you don't want to die..." one of the man said and pointed out a knife at her stomach,

*sigh*

She let out a big sigh and sit down onto the ground she put down her bottle of alcohol beside her.

"I can give you money. But don't expect too much" she open up her small backpack and look for her purse.

"...Here." she said and hand her purse to them.

"... What about my phone? Do you also want it?" she asked them and she stick out her phone to then, the three man looked at each other and later on the man behind the man who was pointing at her a knife took her phone.

'Does being drunk can make you kind?' the three man, the robbers asked themselves.

The robbers was supposed to leave when Aira suddenly spoke.

"... I was born in poverty, I.. I was abused and mistreated when I was young. My only friend died in accident when we were 17 years old. I had my first boyfriend at the age 19, and he was also my first love. Today...." tears fall from both of her eyes.

"hahhh..." she sigh

The three man stop and look at each others eyes.

" Was our first anniversary. So, I decided to buy cake and have a small celebration with him." she added.

"What should we do?" one of the man asked using his eyes.

"I was on the bakery... I saw him, I thought he was there to buy a cake too. But, a girl approached him and kissed him. I was so shocked I even let go of the cake... The girl was pregnant her stomach is big, it's probably 5 or 7 months..." she said while facing the ground.

"That stupid man..." she added

The three man looked at her pitifully.

"Here..." one of the man said, Aira look at him she saw the man handing out a money to her.

"... What is this for?" she asked

"We enter this job because we think that this is the fastest way to have money. Here take this... This is probably enough to buy one bottle of alcohol.." he put the money on the ground besides her and then they leave.

'... Is robbing even considered as a job?'

Aira slow stands up and look at her trembling hands. She was drunk until the moment when the man pointed a knife at her. ".. hahhhh...." she sigh "... I want to nap." she started to walk.

She was walking when she saw a woman from a far. She stopped walking and stared at the woman.

'She isn't a ghost or something right?'

The woman who wasn't facing her suddenly turn to her side and there eyes meet. The woman slowly walk towards her, Aira felt scared and she can't move. The woman who was walking suddenly slipped and fall.

As the woman stand up Aira felt that she had to run, so she turn around and run and she looked behind her but she didn't saw the woman, but despite that she still run rapidly.

She stopped as she was about to run out of air, she breath heavily.

"ha...ha....ha.." the sound of her gasping for air

When she stopped she was amazed by the fact that she was lost.

'Amazing....I lost that woman and myself...'

'...Now then what should I do?'

As she explore the forest she thought that,

'...Is there even a forest here?'

she walk and walk until she saw a person. "...Excuse me. Do you know were are- ohh... Fuck.." Aira felt like all of her force was drained then she slowly falls on the ground.

The woman face her, it was the same woman who was following her.

"You... Gave... Me... A... Hard... Time.. Hahhhh"

"H... How d..did yo-"

The unknown woman pulled out a golden dagger with jewel on it and pointed it out to Aira.

Aira tried to stand up but she can't move she felt like she was caught by something. Her gaze turn towards the woman who was staring at her.

The woman slowly walk towards Aira who was stiff sitting on the ground, when she approaches Aira the woman stab her bellow her heart.

"Ahhrrggg....."

Blood was falling from Aira's mouth, her eyes slowly closing,Aira grin and cussed at the woman who stab her,

"... You... Fucking... Aha (coughing blood) old... wo...man..."

Bogsh..

Aira's body fall on the ground. Blood running from her wound and mouth.

". At last my job here is done.. Now then let's go to the next step."

The woman snapped her finger and then she suddenly dissappear..
