Hollow Desires

The clock showed 04.30 in the morning, Ana had just got off right in the lobby of her apartment.

"Thank you for taking me, can I have your number?" asked the girl after taking off the helmet and handing it to Irfan.

" What for?"

"I want to give you tips," he said innocently.

Ha ha..

"Why are you laughing?" Ana asked.

"You think I'm a motorbike taxi driver?"

"Isn't that right?" Suddenly Irfan's face turned annoyed.

“You don't really think so, do you?” Irfan asked seriously.

But Ana didn't answer. He instead looked at his cellphone, as if to indicate he was serious.

"Stupid," said Irfan as he put on his helmet and left Ana confused.

"Hello Miss, just got home?" said the apartment security who was already familiar with the girl.

"Yes sir, after the party,"

"Wow, now Miss is starting to like parties?"

"Not really, I accompanied my friend. But because I was bored, I left it."

" Friend? The boy's friend earlier?" teased the middle-aged man.

"No, he's a motorbike taxi," replied Ana, apparently not yet understanding.

Ana had just finished taking notes from the lecturer, which she had purposely copied back into her book, until suddenly, Monika came out of breath, throwing her small bag onto the empty table right next to Ana.

"Hah... tired," he said

"You're coming in, I don't think so," said Ana, tidying up her books and stationery.

Ah...

Ana was in pain when Monika flicked the girl's forehead.

"You're sick, you know,"

" Sick!!! "You know, I was late because of you," Monika shouted in a loud voice which attracted the attention of several students.

" I? You are crazy,"

"Yes you are! Why did you come home last night without telling me!!” he snapped.

"Oh hiya, I forgot to tell you," he said, patting his forehead.

"I'm sorry, because last night you seemed to really enjoy your dancing. So I don't feel like bothering you,"

“Then why not leave me a message?”

"Yes... that was earlier, I forgot," he replied, making a guilty face.

Sigh…

“You know Ana, you kept everyone at the party busy. "The party was stopped just because you weren't visible."

“huh? You are crazy!! That's ridiculous, Monika."

“You think this is ridiculous, but it is the truth. "And after finding out where you were, the party was immediately disbanded prematurely," replied Monika.

Ana was silent, she seemed stunned by what she was hearing.

"If we hadn't checked the CCTV at Liem's house, I think Andy would have reported you missing to the police. It's really ridiculous isn't it? Just imagine, when you wake up this morning, your name will be splashed all over TV and newspapers, a girl has mysteriously disappeared at a party. You're really reckless," he wasn't yet satisfied with venting his frustration.

"Andy?"

"Yes... pray that you don't have any problems with that man," said Monika, who was trying to control her breath, looking annoyed.

Ana was silent. His memory was dragged back to the memory of that night,

It seems like this has become a problem.

I couldn't understand what I had just heard from Monika, everything she said managed to freeze the contents of my head.

“Hey!! You're Ana, right?" said three annoying girls that I will never forget. Yes, Tio, Rina, and Lidia, three seniors who bothered me during student orientation.

“Yes, that's me, what's wrong?” I asked with a straight face.

"Yuck... It's women like this who make our party stop early by Andy. You don't know how crazy I tried to look my best at that party."

I frowned, "I think you have the wrong person. Or maybe it's Andy who really intends to stop the party, because of you,"

" We?"

"Yeah... the party was full of people like you."

"You even dare to say his name directly," shouted Tio while suddenly grabbing my hair.

And without me knowing, his two friends were now holding my hands.

“You guys, let me go!!”

I'm quite annoyed with these three annoying creatures.

"You're crazy, let me go," I shouted.

"What are you doing," the deep and hoarse voice made us stop the commotion.

But those two annoying people still wouldn't let me go.

"Brother Andy, I want to teach this impolite girl a lesson. "He even dared to say your name in vain," said Tio, clinging to the man's arm.

"Hmm... you always know how to please me Tio, you're a good girl." He said while giving the girl a kiss, then continued walking towards me.

"It's not too late to say sorry to me. I may be a little grumpy, but I am generous.” He said right in front of my face.

Sigh... I sighed. I don't know why I remembered Eric, does he know about this!!

"I don't need your forgiveness, besides I don't need to apologize, you should be the one asking..."

I didn't continue my sentence, because the man suddenly grabbed my hair.

"I really hate women who are disobedient, dear, so don't make me angry with your behavior," he said with mischievous eyes that were clearly visible in front of me.

“Damn it, let me go!!!” I shouted annoyed.

I really can't understand what I'm experiencing right now. There were so many people in this place, but none of them cared about my situation. This is bullying, right?

Ah...

I screamed when the man dared to pour foul-smelling water on my head.

Everyone laughed seeing that, and the most unexpected thing, not far from where I was standing, I could see Monika also watching this, instead of coming to me, she instead left while covering her face. What is this really?
