ALONE AND HURT

Vania parked her car in her usual place. She left early because she wanted to finish her reportation and went home early. Vania's workplace is quite flexible.

As long as they have submitted the daily news, reporters, photographers, and videographers can go straight home. Because of that, the office is often quiet because everything is working with a remote system.

Vania's hand opened the car door. Just as she stepped out, someone grabbed Vania's hair from behind.

"AHH!" cried Vania in pain. She looked back and was surprised because the one who grabbed her was Rosa.

"Sneaky girl! How dare you complain to Dio! God damn it!" raged Rosa. She glared with a red face full of anger.

"AHH! Let it go, Rosa! Sick!" asked Vania. She didn't understand why Rosa suddenly got mad at her. In fact, she never complained anything about Rosa to Dio.

"Don't lie you! Bitch! You think I'm easy for you to trick?!" said Rosa angrily. "You pretended to be nice and relented in front of me. In fact, you are still trying to snatch Dio from me! Cheap!"

"Rose! I beg you, stop! I didn't do anything. Oath!" cried Vania. Her head hurt and she was dizzy. Unfortunately, Rosa did not pay attention to Vania's words. Instead, she grabbed Vania's head and banged it on the hood of the car.

Vania's body really felt crushed. Rosa raged like a bull that saw the red flag. Vania saw some of her office mates came. She screamed for help.

"Help me?" asked Vania pleading. "All my body aches!"

"You deserve it! You're whore! You snatch people's fiancés!" replied the office people.

They have no desire to defend Vania at all. Instead, they cheered Rosa to beat Vania harder. In fact, they blasphemed Vania and recorded Vania.

"Torture her, Rosa!"

"She deserves it!"

Vania was really dizzy. No one was on her side.

Rosa was so strong. She raged non-stop.

Vania's vision became blurry. She was tired because she had been having trouble sleeping lately. Inevitably, she immediately fell unconscious near her car.

When she woke up, Vania found herself still on the floor near the car. It's a very sad condition for her.

Her forehead was bleeding. Her hair all hurt because Rosa grabbed. Her body was scratched by Rosa's long nails which kept on gripping her.

All the pain was getting more hurt her heart because Vania realized that no one had compassion on her. Everyone who saw her just laughed at her.

They mocked Vania as if they knew the true story best. In fact, they were just gossiping and seeing it from Rosa's point of view.

They didn't really know what Vania's feeling and experiencing. With a limp, Vania got up from her seat. She stepped into the car and sat there.

Vania's tears rolled down her cheeks when she was in the car. She took a tissue and cried her heart out. She let out all the tightness, anger, and disappointment.

"Shit, why is my fate this unlucky?" Vania lamented. She was still sobbing until his chest hurt.

"Am I this unlucky because of my past?" Vania hissed. She realized that he was not really good. Vania's past is bleak. Moreover, she had worked as a sugar baby for five years. For some reason, Vania thought maybe this was a reply from God for her past mistakes. Every sin has its retribution. Either will be rewarded in this world or in the hereafter.

Vania stopped her crying. She tries to accept all this as punishment for her past sins. That way, her heart no longer hurts too much thinking about all the bad behavior of Rosa and her workmates to her.

Vania took her water bottle. She moistened a tissue and wiped her face and wounds. She took the bandage and closed it. At that moment, a call from Dio came in.

Vania only glanced at it. She chose to ignore it. Not long after, Dio sent a message to Vania.

"Vania, I saw the video of you fighting with Rosa. You are okay, right? Where are you now? I'll be there asap. Please tell me," Dio asked through the chat message.

Vania just read it. However, she didn't respond. She chose to turn off his cell phone and drive.

Vania drove to the nearest hospital. There, she lined up to treat her wounds.

"Oh, you haven't been subjected to domestic violence, have you?" asked the doctor who treated Vania's wound.

"Ah, slowly, Doc. It hurts," said Vania. She winced in pain as the doctor applied medicine to her wound.

"If you really have a household problem, you can tell me right away, okay? I will make the report file and you can report it to the police station, "explained the doctor giving advice.

"I'm not married, Doc," answered Vania. She was still struggling with the pain she was in now.

"So this is dating violence?" said the doctor. He was still trying to guess what happened to Vania.

"No. I don't have a boyfriend," said Vania.

"Dont lie! I'm trying to help you. If you get into a problem that endangers your life, I can still help you," explained the doctor. He showed his sympathy for Vania.

Of course, Vania's heart skipped a beat listening to the support and getting sympathy from the doctor. For a moment Vania thought to pour out the tightness in her chest. However, she remembered how the behavior of her workmates who blasphemed her.

It seems useless if I tell him, Vania thought.

She has no self-confidence. She doesn't want to be blasphemed again and called a bitch. In fact, she did not approach Dio at all first. It was Dio who chased after Vania like crazy.

"I'm not lying, Doc," said Vania. "There was a bit of an accident. I fell on the stairs and got injured. The stairs are quite high."

"Oh, I see," said the doctor. "Be careful, ok? Don't fall easily. In addition to being sick, later organs in your body can have problems. Your bones can break too."

The doctor was silent for a moment. He looked at her seriously. "Would you like to do a CT scan? To make sure that your body is okay?" asked the doctor. He looked worried about Vania's condition.

"No need, Doc. I don't feel anything strange," said Vania. "Just treat my wound. After this, I have to get back to work immediately."

"Better rest first. I'll write you a week's rest, okay? Let your wounds heal," said the doctor with understanding.

Vania just nodded. She is grateful to have such a kind and caring doctor. The doctor finished the treatment. He made a leave permit for Vania. "You'll just fill in the date later. Choose as you like," said the doctor. "Later, if there is a problem, you just come here right? We will provide as much assistance as possible."

"Yes, Doc. Thank you," Vania smiled.

She received the doctor's letter of leave. Then, she stepped out of the treatment room.

Vania paid for the medicine and the cost of her treatment. After that, she decided to go back to work.

In the car, Vania checks the reportation timeline. She must continue to do reportation of the eruption of Merapi.

Vania decided to go to the natural disaster monitoring center to conduct an interview. The location is around Jalan Kaliurang. Vania immediately drove there with her car. Unfortunately, Vania's car broke down on the road.

She stepped outside and checked. Turns out, the rear tire of the car was punctured.

"Oh, God, why did it leak like this," Vania hissed in annoyance.

She felt like the most unlucky person in the world right now. This morning she was beaten by Rosa and verbally abused by people at the office. Now the car tire is leaking.

Vania sighed restlessly. "Why did it leak? I remember just two weeks ago I took it to the repair shop. They said the tires would last until the end of the year," Vania squeaked confused.

In a flash, Vania thought that maybe someone from her office had blown her tire. Vania had fainted. No one helped until Vania woke up. Of course there is the possibility that her co-worker could do bad things like blow out her car tire.

The feeling of tightness and anger returned to Vania's heart. She wanted to throw a grenade into her office right now.

Unfortunately, she couldn't possibly do something like that. She doesn't have a grenade. Even if she was determined to carry out a bombing, she would certainly be immediately imprisoned.

Vania shook her head. "You don't have to have strange imaginations, Vania," said Vania to herself. "It's better to find someone passing by who wants to help."

Vania stepped to the side of the road. She waved her hand at the passing vehicles in front of his car.

Unfortunately, no one really wants to quit. Everyone who drives is just passing by.

In fact, they were passing at high speed. A sign that they are pressed for time.

Fortunately, a black metallic car stopped right in front of Vania's car. For a moment Vania was happy because finally someone was kind enough to help her.

However, Vania's pleasure disappeared when she saw that the owner of the car was Hayam, the last sugar daddy that Vania left without news.

Hayam stepped straight and looked at Vania firmly. Vania's heart was pounding uncertainly.

She no longer hoped that Hayam would help her now. In fact, she thought that Hayam would scold her or insult her for leaving without a word.

Vania swallowed her saliva when Hayam was in front of her. Honestly, Vania's body is shaking now.

She was really afraid that something bad was going to happen now. Meanwhile, Hayam looked at Vania with his sharp eyes.

The old man who has entered the age of 50 years does have eyes as sharp as an eagle. Vania hastily opened the car door.

She intended to get into the car to hide.However, Hayam stopped him. "Vania, we have to talk," said Hayam in a deep voice that was firm and a little arrogant.
