Lisa didn't expect Oscar to yell at her, let alone in public. The fire of the woman's anger was burning and ruined her good mood today.
"Listen to you? After what you did to me? Are you crazy? Why would I want to listen to that rotten talk of yours!" Lisa replied passionately.
"What did you just say to me? After what I did to you? Gosh, I've been trying to always help you out of trouble! Have you ever noticed it?" Oscar asked in disbelief.
He was willing to approach other women to help Lisa solve her problems. Not to mention he still had to get his hands dirty with blood so that Robert wouldn't bother her again.
Did Lisa just admit that she's oblivious to what he did for her? Absolutely outrageous!
"You've really changed now, Lisa. Now you are the chatty woman I often meet at the market!"
But to be honest, Oscar never made it to the market. He was just too emotional to say whatever came to his mind..
"Wow, you just found out that I'm actually a chatty woman!?" Lisa replied vehemently as she folded her arms in front of her chest. "So what if I'm fussy, huh?"
"Come on, just go. Indri must have been waiting for you for a long time!" Lisa said as she walked past Oscar. But that didn't stop her from grumbling, "Indri is really a rich beautiful girl, so it's only natural that you two are dating. And what about me? I'm poor and ugly! Ah sorry, sorry…"
Oscar turned around and followed Lisa from behind, "Lisa Soewandi! Listen to me for a second!"
Hearing her full name called by Oscar made Lisa feel like a child being punished. With lightning speed the woman turned around and pointed at Oscar's handsome face.
"Don't ever call me by my full name again. If you dare to call me that way, our relationship is over."
Oscar's footsteps automatically stopped. He took a deep breath slowly. He should've stayed in the office and finished his work instead of coming here and being scolded by Lisa.
Suddenly, Lisa laughed loudly, "Oh, what kind of relationship do we have? Oh my, how could I forget! We're just ex-husband and wife who happen to have a child together.."
Without waiting for Oscar's reply, Lisa turned her body again and walked away, leaving Oscar alone. The woman ignored the dozens of strange stares people gave her.
Even though Oscar was annoyed that he wanted to punch the wall, he still turned around. The man tried to catch up to Lisa but suddenly, his steps stopped.
Oscar saw the crimson public bus speeding towards Lisa. Without wasting any more time, he ran into the middle of the road and pushed Lisa's body away.
As long as Lisa is okay, he will be fine.
As long as Lisa is fine, Oscar will be fine.
Those were the words Oscar spoke in his heart over and over again, like a spell. Time passed quickly and before the man had time to take a breath, his body bounced back violently.
Lisa fell on the pavement after she got pushed from behind. Her knees hurt and she knew that tomorrow she wouldn't be able to wear a short skirt.
She was silent for a few seconds, trying to gather all her senses. As soon as she regained consciousness, the woman suddenly wanted to scold Oscar completely. Of course, she had been rude earlier and it was only natural for Oscar to be angry, but he didn't need to push her at all!
How could a man who said he had manners push her from the middle of a crossroads!? What if Lisa gets into an accident and bumps into someone else?
When Lisa turned her head, her eyes widened in shock. She saw an incident that she was sure she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Not far from where Lisa was standing, Oscar was lying unconscious in the middle of the street. Around his body was a pool of fresh blood.
Her feet automatically took her to where Oscar lay unconscious. Perhaps since Lisa was daydreaming too much earlier, Oscar's body was already surrounded by dozens of people.
"Excuse me, excuse me!" Lisa shouted while trying to push her way through the crowd, "Ouch, sorry!"
When Lisa made her way through the crowd, she felt like her world was falling apart. Seeing Oscar's unmoving body on the ground made her heart almost stop beating.
Lisa raised her right hand and covered her lips. Not a cry, scream, or any sound escaped her lips. She felt empty, as if time stopped running and her ears couldn't hear any sound.
Just as Lisa was feeling sorry, Oscar suddenly seemed to open his eyes. The man wanted to raise his hand and touch her, but he didn't have the slightest strength.
"Lisa, hey, d-don't be sad…" Oscar frowned, trying to hold back the pain, "…I'm here."
How could Lisa not cry seeing her ex-husband lying on the ground surrounded by pools of blood?
The man's face was pale, fresh blood was pouring out from the back of his head and all over his body. His clear blue eyes looked calm, as if enjoying the pain.
Not long after, when Lisa managed to sit down next to Oscar and held the man's hand, he slowly closed his eyes.
"A-as long as you're fine, ah... I'll be fine…" Oscar muttered under his breath.
Then, after saying that, his body went limp. His hand no longer held back Lisa's hand. Even his closed eyes didn't move.
Feeling Oscar's grip loosening made Lisa feel like she was losing her life. She was so sad and panicked that she didn't know what to do.
Luckily, Lisa had heard several people standing around Oscar trying to call the ambulance and the police.
The driver of the public bus that hit Oscar was not allowed to escape by some of the people who witnessed the incident.
Nobody knew how much time had passed, but Lisa was still sitting next to Oscar and didn't let go of the man's hand. Her vision was getting blurry from the tears.
Not long after, the ambulance's siren that sounded so familiar approached. Then, several officers wearing medical uniforms came through the crowd carrying a gurney.
"Please make way!"
