Chapter 23: The Fight Against Khitam
After they arrived at a small alley on Mangga Dua Abda St, they parked their motorcycle in front of the alley. Khitam got off and took the drugs from the trunk. They started to go into the alley, then Khitam showed Julian the drugs.
"Here, you can use this in a cigarette or smoke it through a straw" Khitam said.
Julian wanted to take the drugs, but Khitam pulled him back.
"Money first!" Khitam said stared sarcastically.
Julian glanced at Anindya. Anindya opened her bag. Julian and Khitam were shocked to see what was inside. It contained around Rp. 30,000,000.
"I-I didn’t think Anindya would carry that much money!" Julian thought to himself, shocked.
"How much is each?" Anindya asked casually.
"Rp. 2,000,000" Khitam replied.
Anindya counted her money. After finishing, she tossed it to Khitam.
"There!, Just take the extra!" Anindya said with a cold gaze and tone.
Khitam, with an annoyed expression, took the money and counted it.
"F-five million rupiah?!" Khitam thought to himself, shocked, as he held the money.
"Now where’s the item?" Julian asked.
Khitam threw the item at Julian, Julian managed to catch it. After that, Julian continued with his next plan.
"Can I ask you a question?" Julian asked.
"Yes, what do you want to ask, kid?" Khitam replied while counting money.
"Why are you selling this item to teenagers?" Julian asked.
"Ah, I don’t really care who I sell it to, as long as I get the money" Khitam said with a grin.
Hearing Khitam’s selfishness, Julian became a little angry, then he asked.
"Why did you do that? Even though teenagers have a bright future!" Julian said in a slightly high tone.
"Huh?! Like I said, I only care about money" Khitam said with an irritated expression and tone.
Julian remained silent, his head bowed, trying to control his emotions. Khitam glanced at Anindya, who was to Julian’s right, put the money in his pocket, then smiled evilly and began to approach her. When he reached her right, Khitam said
"Btw, Your girl is so beautiful, kid" Khitam said with a grin.
"How about I buy your girl~?" Khitam continued, while holding Anindya’s left shoulder.
Anindya was surprised because Khitam held her shoulder, Anindya started to glance at Khitam with a sharp gaze, Khitam said
"Uuuh I’m scared~" Khitam said with a mischievous smile and tone.
Khitam started to remove her hand from Anindya’s shoulder, then she stood in front of Anindya, then Khitam bravely grabbed Anindya’s chin, but before his hand could touch Anindya’s chin, suddenly—
"POWWW!" a loud punch landed on Khitam’s face.
Khitam was immediately thrown back 30 meters, then landed on the ground, his nose immediately started bleeding. Anindya was shocked to find that the blow had come from Julian.
Julian, who was on Anindya’s left, started reached for her right arm, then pulled her closer, pressing her body against his, then he said
"IF YOU DARE LAY ANOTHER HAND ON HER, I’LL KILL YOU!" Julian said with an irritated expression and a heavy tone.
Anindya, who was being hugged, was shocked. She glanced up at Julian’s face, her eyes beginning to sparkle and her cheeks were flushed. She screamed inwardly.
"KYAA! JULIAN IS SO COOL!" Anindya screamed inwardly, her face glowing with excitement as she pressed both hands against her burning cheeks.
Khitam wiped the blood flowing from his nose with his right hand, his eyes narrowed in anger. Slowly, he rose to his feet, growling.
"You little brat... how dare you hit me!" Khitam snapped, his voice booming through the narrow alley.
Julian began to release his grip from Anindya’s arm, then stepped in front of her, then signaling her to retreat with his right hand.
"You’ve gone too far, Khitam. Selling drugs to teenagers, belittling someone’s future, and now you dare to touch my girlfriend?!" Julian said with an annoyed expression and tone.
Khitam laughed sarcastically, then suddenly put his right hand into his right trouser pocket. It turned out he had pulled out a pocket knife.
"Click!" the sound of a pocket knife being used.
Julian was shocked to see the knife being pulled from Khitam’s pants pocket.
"Eh?!, A knife?!" said Julian, surprised.
"Kehehehehe, now you’re scared, aren’t you, kid!" said Khitam with a wicked smile.
Khitam started running toward Julian, saying,
"NOW, THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!!" shouted Khitam with a wicked smile and thrust the pocket knife at Julian.
Unfortunately, Anindya, who was behind Julian, moved forward quickly from the right, then kicked Khitam’s right hand hard using her right foot, so that the knife came off and flew into the air, then fell to the ground.
Khitam and Julian were both surprised by Anindya’s kick. Anindya didn’t stop there; she immediately tilted her right leg to the right and quickly kicked Khitam in the face with her instep, sending him flying 30 meters away.
After that, Anindya said.
"No one is allowed to hurt Julian, except me!" Anindya said with a sarcastic expression.
Julian, hearing this, was shocked and thought to himself.
"S-so, you’re the only one who’s allowed to hurt me?" Julian said in his heart while smiling awkwardly and looking at Anindya.
Anindya turned to Julian and smiled sweetly at him. Julian could only return the smile with an awkward smile of his own.
"U-ughh!" Khitam groaned in pain.
Hearing Khitam’s groan, Anindya and Julian got ready. Khitam took something out of his pants pocket. It turned out to be a smoke bomb.
Anindya said.
"It’s no use if you want to run away!" said Anindya with a sharp gaze.
"H-heh! Don’t get cocky, kid!" Khitam said sarcastically.
Khitam pulled a smoke bomb from his left trouser pocket. He then pressed the button and activated it. He immediately threw it at Julian and Anindya. Anindya managed to kick the bomb to the right, but unfortunately, when it landed on the ground, it emitted a thick cloud of smoke. The smoke began to envelop the three of them.
"Cough!... Cough!... Cough!..." Julian coughed.
Julian coughed, while Anindya kept his gaze fixed ahead. Sensing an opportunity, Khitam quickly fled, leaving the two of them behind. When Khitam was outside the smoke, Anindya suddenly burst out of the smoke, surprising Khitam who was running.
"W-what!, How is that possible!?" Khitam asked with a shocked expression and tone.
As Anindya ran on Khitam’s right, the smoke covering her face began to clear, revealing her face. Khitam was even more shocked by what he saw—Anindya was running with her eyes closed. Without further ado, Anindya pulled a dagger from her left skirt pocket and quickly stabbed it into Khitam’s right neck.
"JLEBB!" The sound of a dagger being stabbed into Khitam’s neck.
Khitam fell to the ground, dying instantly. Anindya, still running, stopped running and turned toward Khitam’s body. First, she stopped to open her eyes. Then, she walked toward Khitam’s body. When she was almost there, she cut off Khitam’s right ear and placed it in a small glass jar.
