Ria was really confused because Deni didn't answer her call. She still had to pay for the oil that had been put into her motorbike, and she was too embarrassed to tell the mechanic that she owed him money. Ria was stressed because she didn't have any money at all. She was determined to always carry money with her from now on, just in case.
"Excuse me, Sir. I don't have any money with me at all. Would it be okay if I left my phone here? I will come back tomorrow to pay," Ria offered, feeling very embarrassed.
"Boss!" the worker who had changed the oil called out to the man who had helped Ria on the road.
"What's up?" Andi came closer to Ria and his worker.
Ria swallowed hard because it turned out that the young man who had helped her was the owner of the workshop. Ria then took out her ID card as a guarantee that she would not run away and would definitely come back to the workshop tomorrow. If she couldn't use her phone, she could add her ID card.
"I'll leave my phone. It's just out of battery, Sir," said Ria, trembling with shame and fear.
"No need. Take it with you, and if you remember tomorrow, bring the money," replied Andi, who was indeed kind-hearted.
"Seriously, Sir, you trust me? I really don't have any money with me right now," Ria said, a little surprised to hear it.
Andi nodded his head as a sign that he did believe in Ria. Moreover, this was not the first time he had helped someone in need. He felt sorry for Ria, who had to push her motorbike because it had run out of oil, never having been checked at a workshop until it dried up.
"Please, take it." Andi really intended to help.
"Thank you, Sir! I will come here tomorrow morning on my way to work. What time does the workshop open?" asked Ria, so grateful.
"It opens at eight o'clock, but if you leave too early, you can stop by here in the afternoon," said Andi.
"Okay, thank you very much for helping me!" Ria kept saying thank you.
After that, she left with her motorbike, and it was already the Maghrib call to prayer, so it was starting to get dark. But Ria was not the type of person to be easily frightened, so she just relaxed. In fact, she kept remembering Andi's kindness.
"Our friend is something else when it comes to helping girls," Lupi, Andi's friend, started to speak.
"What are you talking about? It's not just girls I help!" Andi snapped.
"He doesn't open a workshop because he needs money, but because he needs charity," Hendra joked.
"Once in a while, we should help people too. Don't be stingy," Andi said very wisely.
"So, I'm being helped too, right?" Arya, who was waiting for his motorbike, spoke up.
Andi just laughed at his friends' jokes. Actually, Arya was not Andi's friend like the others. He knew Arya because of a very big incident, where his friend Hendra's life would have been lost due to a very evil demonic disturbance.
Fortunately, Arya and his brother were able to save Hendra, and from there they all became close to each other. Arya was not an ordinary man like them. Davin, who knew everything, would know all about it because his fiancee had seen everything.
"The groom has been smiling the whole time, imagining your wedding night, huh!" Lupi, the most outspoken of the group, accused.
"Of course. How could I not imagine a wife as cute as that?" replied Davin, who was getting married to Salsa in two months.
"Now you can imagine. Just yesterday you were complaining endlessly," Andi teased.
"You guys have no idea what it feels like! Purnama and Arya dunked me in a pool of ice. My balls almost froze off," Davin exclaimed, remembering his ordeal.
"Whoa, don't let it be unusable on your wedding night," Hendra even scared him.
Davin scowled, being laughed at by them. Purnama was indeed inhumane. It was natural, because he was not entirely human, so he often acted like a demon. Well, his job was always to look for evil demons who were making trouble. This village of theirs no longer had any disturbances.
It used to be quite a scene because the village flower, who was none other than his girlfriend Hendra, died because she was cursed by her own sister. Then Hendra was also cursed by his girlfriend's sister because the young man had accelerated the curse. Fortunately, there were Purnama and Arya. Hendra was also able to live thanks to this snake-descended human, so he could still breathe to this second.
...****************...
Diana was very happy because Novan had come home with the souvenirs she had ordered earlier. However, she didn't use them right away because she was afraid of being caught by her parents or Deni. She would definitely get scolded again for constantly asking Novan, her boyfriend.
"Hey, is that a new phone, Honey?" Novan saw Diana's phone.
"I've been saving up the money you gave me and also from Dad, so I could buy this," Diana showed off her iPhone.
"This is very expensive. You must have been saving up for a long time," Novan said, amazed by Diana's persistence in saving.
Diana just smiled and hid the fact that the phone was from Beno. Just for this phone, she was willing to be slept with by the man she had just met. Meanwhile, Novan, who had been dating her for four years, didn't dare to do such a thing, even though he had spent countless amounts of money on Diana.
"There have been non-stop notifications since earlier. Who are they from?" Novan asked, because Diana's phone kept ringing.
"It's just my friends. They're curious about my new phone," Diana lied, because it was from Beno.
"I'm proud of you!" Novan rubbed Diana's head. He believed everything Diana said.
Diana smiled and opened the jewelry box that Novan had bought for her, as if she had fallen into good fortune because she got whatever she wanted from here and there. Even though what she got from Beno had to be reciprocated, it was different from Novan, who sincerely loved his girlfriend since four years ago.
"I can't wait to live with you," Novan said, kissing Diana's cheek.
"Be patient, honey. Later, you'll have to give a lot of money to Uda and Sis Ria for the wedding," Diana reasoned.
In reality, she still wanted to play the field so that whatever she wanted, she could get from anyone, not just from Novan, of course.
