The Real Gangster

1390 Words
In this world, if she could choose something that happened in her life, then Clena would choose to be born as a boy rather than a girl. A choice that formed in her head after being in such a pitiful state for a ‘girl’. Even though as she grew older, she realized that she was actually very happy to be born as a ‘girl’.   Clena was born in a family that 'glorifies' the existence of a son and underestimates a daughter. For Clena's family, daughters are just 'potential strangers' they have to take care of. Because in the end, the daughter will leave her family and change the status of being 'a wife'. The injustice that Clena experienced really made her heart hurt so much. Making she finally decide to leave home after completing her high school education.  She left for another city and started a new life with the savings she had worked so hard to collect from various competitions when she was in high school. Starting a new life by taking off the surname she had been using all that time. Clena already felt how 'hard' life is. That's why, when she saw Darius who had to be hospitalized because he has to pay off a debt he never even made, Clena felt sympathy. But who would have thought, the irresponsible parent who made Darius have to bear the debt turned out to be one of his uncles, Xavier Sanders!   "Are you still in school? Come on, Clena! The only thing you have to do is beautify yourself and attract rich men!”   Clena's brows furrowed as the malicious comments that came out of Xavier's mouth rang in her ears.  "What are you thinking about, boss?” Clena flinched slightly when she heard Lorea's question. Her secretary was already standing with a suspicious eyes  "Euh, don't tell me you're thinking about the handsome boy who's currently in the hospital, boss?" She guessed in a mocking voice. Clena didn't answer Lorea's question at all. She looked at Lorea who was standing holding some important documents that they were going to discuss at the company's monthly meeting tomorrow,  "Are all the documents finished?"   Clena asked which Lorea immediately answered with a nod of her head. She then handed all the documents to Clena. While handing over all the documents, Lorea's eyes accidentally saw a document containing Darius' personal information on top of Clena's desk, piled up among the many paperwork Clena had to complete soon.   Urggh!! It looks like Lorea's guess is right, Clena is thinking about Darius right now.  "Hufft.." She secretly sighed, looking at Clena who was now focused with all the documents in her hands. There was no more sadness and pain in her eyes. There was no longer look of disappointment on her face, like the one Lorea had seen when Clena looked out to the window earlier.   Wounded.. In Lorea's eyes, Clena was like a bird whose wings had been injured. The bird that ultimately chooses to walk instead of trying to fly again. Lorea might have known Clena only for a few years, but she already knew a lot about her boss. Lorea also knew the reason why Clena didn't use her surname in her name.  Therefore, Lorea understood the dilemma Clena felt after knowing Darius' overall identity. Even though Lorea really wanted to hide the identity of Darius' parents. But, isn't there a wise saying that it's better to be scratched at the beginning than to be badly injured at the end? And so, it was on that basis that she let Clena know everything. So Clena can make good decision by herself. Lorea secretly sighed again as she looked at Clena's cold face. Ah, she was sure, Clena would make the right decision..   ***   Hospital ward..   “So I have to complete these three tasks?”  Darius looked at the piece of paper the grim reaper handed to him, read it carefully while occasionally furrowing his brows. The Grim Reaper just nodded his head, of course while floating leisurely in the air.  "How much time do I have?"  Darius asked again. This time the grim reaper floated towards the heater and extended his hand to that device   "The sooner the better. You will get very big points if you can do it quickly. However, just for information, for the first mission, the completion time is very limited.”   He answered nonchalantly. A wide smile then formed on his lips, as if he was enjoying the warmth in front of him. Darius's brows furrowed with a confused look on his face. He was confused by the grim reaper's words just now and at the same time confused by the strange behavior of the grim reaper who seemed to be enjoying that heating machine. What else does the grim reaper need to warm up? Had he forgotten that he couldn't feel heat or cold?  Just as Darius was about to ask, the grim reaper suddenly snapped his fingers while shouting “Aha!” as if he had just come up with a very brilliant idea, make a bad feeling suddenly rose in Darius' heart.   "I have a way of making Clena feel more sympathetic towards you!!!" He said with a wide grin   "Well then, good luck, Mister messenger. See you later.."  The Grim reaper continued his words. Then he disappears with a snap of his fingers, making Darius' brows furrow even more. But it seems that Darius' confusion was immediately answered because after the grim reaper finished saying 'see you later', the door of Darius' ward suddenly opened. And from the door, appeared five men with burly bodies. They brought fruits as if they had come to visit Darius “Damn grim reaper!!!!” Darius could only curse without being able to do anything because the grim reaper had disappeared. Leaving him who could only smile wryly at the debt collectors who approached him..   ***   "Huh? Isn't it a little noisy inside?”   Lorea stopped her hand that was about to open the ward door. She deliberately accompany Clena who wants to see Darius. The reason? Of course because Lorea was afraid that Clena who had an innocent mind would be tempted by the sadness of Darius' life. Then do things that don't make sense. Moreover, they don't know whether Darius really accidentally hit Clena's car or if he did it on purpose for a specific reason.   "Arghhh!!!" Clena and Lorea instantly looked at each other when they heard a painful groan from inside. And the next second, without further ado, Clena immediately pushed the door to Darius' ward and opened it wide.  "Oh Lord!!"   Lorea's eyes immediately widened when she saw Darius who was being beaten by five men. His handsome face even covered with bruises and blood.   "Go and call the security guard!!"   Clena said in low voice, makes Lorea quickly ran outside to call the security guard. It didn't take long for Lorea to bring security guard to Darius' ward  “They are all gangsters who beat up patients si..r..”   Lorea's voice immediately hung in the air as her eyes looked into Darius' ward. She suddenly felt guilty for bringing so many security guards into Darius' ward  "Urggh, oh, Lord.." This time Lorea didn't scream like when she open the door to Darius' ward earlier. This time, she actually held her head in frustration. If earlier she saw Darius being beaten by 5 gangsters, now she saw something very different. Inside Darius' ward, stood Clena with her calm face. Her feet that still wearing high heels, stepped on the hand of one of the gangsters who lay unconscious on the floor, complete with fruits scattered around their bodies which makes the scene even more dramatic. And the others sat on the floor while wincing in pain and holding their bruised faces.  Even anyone who saw this would surely say that Clena was the real gangster.   "Damn! Looks like I have to go back to being a janitor again today..” Lorea grumbled in annoyance while throwing a fierce glare at Clena. But, as soon as she turned around and faced the security guards, a business smile immediately spread widely on her face. A business smile as if trying to explain that what they were seeing just a misunderstanding...
