The Masochist Queen

The first thing most people do when they are in trouble is to call the police. But it doesn't apply to Lisa. What she did when she got into trouble was to call Andien, as if the woman were her private police.

When Andien heard Lisa's request from across the phone, she asked back, "Lisa, are you okay? What's wrong that you suddenly want to move into my apartment? Are you in Jakarta now?"

Lisa fell silent on the other side of the phone. She hasn't told Andien about her pregnancy and plans to tell her everything over the phone but she is hesitant. Not having time to reply to Andien's question, her friend added, "Sorry, it's not like I don't want you to live in my apartment, I'm just wondering what your problem is. Don't you work in Bekasi?"

"It's really complicated if I tell you over the phone. I'll explain once I arrive at your apartment, okay?" Lisa replied hastily.

"Okay then, I'll wait for you in my apartment after work as usual," Andien replied firmly.
