"If you are sad and hurt, come into my arms. I won't ask for a reason why you're crying, but I will make you believe that the world is not as cruel as you think," Edgar, to Devya. Mora, Devya's close friend, has a personality that is very different from Devya's. She is independent, mature, wise, socially reserved, and dislikes listening to Devya's confessions about Edgar. Mora didn't become this way without reason. She became this way because of a past that forces her to wake up every night and hope that one day she can wake up from her nightmares. Without anyone knowing, Mora, a strong and firm woman, hides deep scars from her past. She experienced sexual assault twice as a teenager, discovered her boyfriend selling her body on social media, endured violence and abuse whenever she was with her boyfriend, and was abandoned by both her parents when she was young. Mora carries deep trauma, not knowing whom to turn to every day as she continues to have bad dreams, hoping that none of it ever happened. She wants to heal, she wants to be the bright Mora, not the gloomy one. That's when she met Xavier, a kind-hearted, humorous, and incredibly loyal man. Loving Mora was not easy for Xavier, every day, he received curses and rejection from Mora because she felt the same way as Xavier but was afraid her past would repeat itself. With patience and a lot of love, Xavier gave everything to Mora, made sacrifices in the name of love, and showed her the depth of his sincerity, no matter how poorly she responded to him. He only wanted Mora to become the bright Mora again, free from the daily haunting nightmares. "I don't want to make promises, I don't want to swear, but I will prove it through my actions that I love you, Mora. How many sacrifices must I make to change you from the gloomy Mora to the bright Mora? I'll do it," Xavier to Mora.
Two girls were running, panting heavily and exhausted, trying to evade two large, dark-skinned men who were chasing them. There were many motorcycles blocking their path because they were currently in a hidden racing arena, a place reserved for the elite.
"Devya! Hurry, don't let them catch us! Come on, hurry!" yelled Mora, calling out to Devya.
"I'm so tired, Mora. Okay, let's keep running until we reach the end!" Devya replied.
One of the muscular, dark-skinned men was approaching two handsome men who were inspecting their motorcycles in the parking area.
"Ready to beat the competition, Park?" said Xavier, a charismatic man with a handsome face.
"I'll give it my all," Redgar replied, a man as handsome as a model.
Xavier noticed a girl running alone in the racing arena, piquing his interest.
"It seems I've disrupted my race tonight," Xavier said, whistling.
A man who appeared to be a racing arena guard approached them.
"Sir, sir. There's an intruder inside the racing arena, sir," the guard said in a panic.
Edgar grinned and placed the helmet he had been holding on his motorcycle.
"Where is the intruder?" Edgar asked.
"Follow me, sir."
Devya had fallen behind Mora and saw that Mora was far ahead of her. Devya was panting heavily and chose to hide for a moment.
"I can't let this happen, I have to get back at that annoying guy!"
Devya emerged from her hiding spot and ran after Mora. Unfortunately, three guards were chasing Devya, and suddenly a man grabbed Devya's arm.
"Here's the intruder, Mr. Edgar."
Devya's body was half-hugged by the man, and upon hearing Edgar's name, Devya turned to look behind her.
"Edgar?" Devya exclaimed when she saw that Edgar had caught her.
"Do we need to do something about this rat, sir?" one of the racing arena guards asked.
"I'll handle this rat myself. You two, go!" Edgar ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Devya's face showed anger and frustration.
"Fool!" Edgar muttered, furrowing his brow.
Seeing Edgar's angry expression, Devya fell silent and didn't dare to respond to his anger.
"Come with me!" Edgar commanded, dragging Devya with him.
"Hey!! Where are you taking me? Hey, let go of my hand!" Devya shouted.
Devya, a beautiful, cheerful, innocent girl, was genuine and had many friends, but she was particularly close to Mora, who had a completely opposite personality. Devya never went out at night and never ventured into the nightlife scene. So, how did she end up in a racing arena like this? It all began a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago..
The alarm clock woke Devya from her deep slumber. She was reluctant to get up, but she had to because today was supposed to be an important day for her.
Devya held her head. "Oh my goodness, I have an exam today!" she exclaimed, half-shouting.
She jumped out of bed, rushed to prepare for her day at the campus, and her impending exam. But it was too late, she had already missed her exam.
"Is everything already too late, Mora?" Devya asked, frustrated.
Mora displayed a bored and weary expression, nodded, and then tossed the exam paper to Devya.
"I took your exam for you today, and here are the results."
Devya got a score of nine thanks to Mora's help. The girl laughed cheerfully and hugged Mora tightly.
"I'm so grateful right now, thank you so much, Mora. You truly are my best friend, my good friend. Thank you so much."
The girl smiled and laughed joyfully, feeling thankful for having such a good friend as Mora.
"This is the last time, I won't do anything that will only make you lazy and spoiled. Life is tough, you have to make yourself happy, Devya!" Mora reminded her.
