Spider Collected Promise

Spider existed too deep into memories between himself and Luci. It was the first day the little Spider had a strong will to survive.

Before the arrival of Bee aka Luci, life in the cage had eroded Spider's hopes of getting out and being free. But finally, he could do it. Spider could be free, even though at that time he had to go without Luci, and even though at that time he had to give half his life first to the world.

Luci's rebuke in the form of the clapping of hands-on Spider's stocky shoulder finally woke his daydream.

"Are you giving up on taking me?" asked Luci. Worry and stress covered her face. Since then, Spider had not answered or responded to her call. Her mind wandered, leading her to the one possibility that Spider might not want to.

The problem now was that she didn't have much time to sit still and wait any longer. Hans may not be in good condition. So Luci had to hurry to head to the hospital now.

"Oh, no, of course not. I'll still take you. Now let's take this kid to the car I provided. And you'll be in the same car with me," Spider replied enthusiastically. The rows of his teeth were visible again.

Suddenly, Luci's hair stood on end. Spider's smile and a row of teeth looked like a ghastly evil grin. "I – sorry, but I brought my car," Luci complained.

On the other hand, she wanted to be in one car with Hans because after all she still couldn't entrust Hans to anyone else. Spider was her adoptive family in the past, but their kinship had been severed for a long time. After all, over time the character of people can change. And that certainly applied to Spider.

Maybe when he was little Spider was so gentle and caring. But Luci couldn't guarantee whether Spider's personality was still the same for now. Therefore Luci did not want to take many risks.

"Uh, is that so? Uh, then how about I drive your car? Is that okay? I can leave my car here," Spider suggested, still with a smile on his face and flowers.

Luci thought about the idea for a moment. This is the right moment to chat with your family that you can finally find, moreover your family is still being nice to you.

But besides Luci didn't want to leave Hans unattended yet, she was currently still in a very tired state. She needed sleep, so while on the trip Luci couldn't guarantee she would be awake. That's also a problem because once again Luci would not know the current nature of Spider.

He may indeed be her adoptive family but if Spider was a good person he certainly wouldn't be in this place right now. Not to mention his easy-going nature that wanted to just leave his car in the Evil Fort had made Luci believe that Spiders often pass by in this place, and that's not a good sign.

"I can't leave Hans. He must be very afraid if he wakes up in a strange place, especially without seeing me," said Luci with anguish. It was true, Luci wasn't lying.

"So what do you want? Is your car enough for this bed?" asked Spider that answered by Luci with a shake of her head. Spider sighed.

"You want us to call an ambulance?" the man suggested.

The idea didn't even enter Luci's head because in her mind calling an ambulance would be very difficult considering the destination was the Evil Fort, one of the most terrifying and dangerous places in the city.

"Is that possible?" Luci hoarsely and began to doubt.

"Of course. One of the people here is the biggest benefactor of Medical Sky hospital. I could have called an ambulance from the hospital to come here. If you don't mind, I put the child in that hospital."

Luci was dumbfounded, perhaps even more so. So this was why Hans was able to be in this place while the information desk said that Hans had been transferred to Sun Eden Hospital. Was it because one of these places was the biggest contributor to the Medical Sky hospital? It's all clear now.

"Hans was treated at Medical Sky earlier," said Luci.

Now the girl doubted whether she needed to direct Hans to the same hospital considering Aunt Arum would definitely get into gambling and be in debt again one day. Luci was afraid that Hans would be taken prisoner or bail again.

But for now, there was no other way. Maybe on another occasion, Luci could transfer Hans to another hospital, to a hospital that was not involved with the people here.

"And I don't mind if he's taken to that hospital again. But you can guarantee Hans' safety right?" hoped Luci, who started to show her languid and tired face.

"Don't worry you can entrust everything to me," said Spider.

Now the man was seen making a call on his cellphone. Meanwhile, the sky had begun to lighten and it was able to get rid of the darkness and dimness around it.

Luci was also able to see how pathetic and pale Hans' face was. The girl covered him again with the hospital blanket. While Spider's coat was now Luci was handed over to its owner after Luci's backpack she moved to be carried on her back.

"You don't need to return it. Just take the coat! l Put his coat around Hans. He will be safe during the trip even at the Sky Medical hospital," explained Spider with a wide smile again.

Luci wanted to ask who the real Spider was, more precisely what was his influence on the Medical Sky so that the man could be self-confident with the power of the mantle he was wearing earlier.

Was Spider Diamond, the person the stranger who was guarding Luci was referring to? If Spider was Diamond then why? What was so special about him so Luci didn't have to worry about Hans' safety as long as there was Spider's coat around the little boy.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, which had taken fifteen minutes, Luci finally couldn't stop himself from asking. With her hands hugging his knees and her back leaning against the wall of the building, Luci glanced and stole glances at Spider.

Looked like Spider realized that only he chose not to ask. He wanted Luci to take the initiative to ask. Moreover, Spider wanted Luci to find out about what had happened to Spider all this time.

Spider wanted to know how much Luci cared for him and how much she missed him. Could Luci's longing for Spider equal Spider's longing for Luci?

"Who are you?" Luci asked with a slightly narrowed face.

Now the sky had begun to be illuminated by the light of the rising sun. In the past, Lucia would not spend a single morning not watching the sunrise to pray that her wish to be happy in this world would be granted. But after Danel's death, the girl no longer believed in hope and miracles.

"I'm Spider. Didn't you already know that?" Spider replied, still grinning broadly.

"Not that. I mean who are you right now? What's your business in this place? And why are you so sure of your coat that Hans' safety can be guaranteed? Who are you?" said Luci talkatively, started bombarding Spider with questions.

Again a smile that Luci saw that currently graced Spider's still curved lips. Even in this bright sky, Spider's smile was still terrifying. Luci felt there was a strong mysterious aura in that smile.

"You remember that you promised you would never leave me right? If I tell you who I am, promise me that you will keep your promise," Spider replied with his bass voice which was getting softer.
