Like a Nightmare

The footsteps of a young girl who looked beautiful with make-up that was starting to fade, as tears stream down her cheeks. The woman named Kirana Maheswari immediately rushed into the elevator.

"All men are just the same. Damn it!" Kirana cursed. Then she forced her hand off of the man's grip.

In the elevator, Kirana could only cry, and contemplated her pathetic life. She really didn't think she had gotten that bad luck. Even the person she hoped to be her husband betrayed her. The worse was that, the woman who took her lover was her own best friend.

Then she wiped away the tears, but it continued to stream down like a melting glacier. Her hands trembled, and clenched into fists trying to hold back her aching heart as she remembering what had just happened.

The elevator opened, she rushed to the taxi waiting in front of the apartment. She immediately got into a taxi and left.

In the middle of her contemplation headed home. Suddenly her phone rang, a call from her aunt. She directly accepted the call. Her feeling was uncertain at the moment, she hide her voice sad. She didn't want her aunt notice about that.

"Hello, aunt. What is it?"

"Ana, come to hospital now. Your grandma is in Intensive Care Unit

"Oh my god, I am on my way there, Auntie."

"Yes, Ana. Hurry up. The doctor wants to talk to you."

"Yes, Auntie."

Short after, she arrived at hospital. She immediately stepped into her grandmother's room after got a call from her aunt. Her auntie hugged Kirana with tears that had not stopped.

"Auntie, what happened to Grandmother?" asked Kirana curiously

"The doctor will tell everything. The doctor in his office now" asked Auntie.

Kirana walked away from the room after looking at grandmother who was still in unconsciousness. She arrived at the doctor's office. She looked curious and couldn't wait for the explanation.

"Sorry Doc, I'm Mrs. Indira's family. What happened to my grandmother?" asked Kirana curiously. She looked at the doctor seriously, as if she couldn't wait hearing the information from the doctor.

"Mrs. Indira has stage 4 of lymphoma."

"Oh my God", Kirana said wide-eyed and still couldn't believe what she was just hearing right now. "Can still she survive?"

"Yes. We have to operate the surgery as soon as possible. But…" The doctor stopped explaining

"What's wrong, Doc?" Kirana asked

The doctor looked back. From that look, it was obvious that the doctor was really hard on telling her that.

"The cost for the surgery is around fifty million. You have to sign this letter so that we can do the surgery on Mrs. Indira," the doctor asked

Kirana read what is in the statement. The contents made her contemplate how to get that big amount of money. While she had no savings at all, not even her salary at the restaurant would be enough to pay the bill.

"What should I do," she mumbled to herself

She seemed to be in a dilemma and for a while thinking about the problem she was facing and how to solve it. She continued to stare at the letter.

"Is there any problem, ma'am?"

"It's all right," she replied. "Give me some time to get 50 million."

"Okay, be fast. Don't take it too long, it's very dangerous for Mrs. Indira's safety," said the doctor.

Kirana could only nod. She really couldn't promise the doctor anything. She's still thinking how to get a loan for that.

Kirana then rushed out of the room. She approached his grandmother again in the room. She could not hold back the tears that fell again as she looked at her grandmother who was still unconscious.

"Grandma, I will try to find money for Grandma's surgery. I promise," said Kirana.

"There's no way I could ask that bastard for help. Instead, he will take the advantage of my weakness. No, you can't," she countered, as she thought of her ex-boyfriend.

A few moments later, she had to leave for work. She couldn't bear to leave his grandmother alone, but she had no other choice. She will be fired if she will not come to work today. She intended to cross the road to wait for the public transportation on the other side of the road.

Suddenly the sports car was speeding to her. Kirana was desperate to whatever happened.

Ssshhhtt…

The sound of the car's brakes made Kirana's heart felt like it was about to fall out. She was really scared. She could just die if she was hit by a very fast car. Her breath was blowing very fast, irregularly.

"I'm still alive, yes still," she said as she caught his breath.

Pip PipPip!

The sound of the car honking in front of her, sounded very disturbing. Kirana was surprised and turned to the car.

"Crazy girl, get out of there. You're tired of living, aren't you?" shouted a man who drove the car.

Kirana didn't even pay attention to it, she remained in her original position. She didn't seem to care about the screams of the man in the car.

"Wow, go!" cursed the man.

The man put on an unpleasant face in front of her. Then the man approached Kirana who was still frozen. He was very annoyed toKirana who had not left in front of his car.

"I wonder why there are humans like you roaming the streets like this. If you want to kill yourself, don't involve other people. Maybe you just got out of a mental hospital, huh," the man cursed.

"Watch your words. Just because you are a rich person then you can blame people as you want. Most of the rich people have no morals," said Kirana, annoyed.

"How dare you said it to me. Do you want me to report it to the police for your insults?"

"I'm not afraid. After all, you were the one who called me crazy, right?" Kirana protested.

"You're the one who's crazy, driving a car with a high speed. Or maybe you don't have driver license. Isn't it?"

"You really making a problem with me, don't you? Luckily I'm still kind. If not, I'll put you in jail," said the man.

"I don't care!"

The man looked frustrated on facing Kirana. He also decided to leave in front of Kirana. But before getting into his car, he stopped and looked at Kirana.

"Next time, if you are looking for money, don't do in that way. Just say it, and I'll give you a donation, you tacky!" insulted the man then got into his car.

Before the car left, Kirana took her shoes and threw them into the car. Unfortunately, the car continued to drive leaving Kirana who was upset. "What a snob. I wish you bad things come to happen to you," Kirana grumbled, then she walked across the street waiting for a public transportation.

Arrived at work, she went rush to the restroom to change his work uniform. She saw a woman was at the sink and looked at her face in the mirror.The two of them were shocked as they stared at each other.

The woman directly approached Kirana.She was surprised to see Kirana's face was very similar to hers.Kirana was also surprised to know this.

"How could this happen.Who are you?"the woman asked.

"Ki-Kirana," Kirana replied, stuttering.

"I'm Keysa," said the woman."I have plans for us," he continued.

"What plan?"
