I right-left then trying to cross. In the middle of the street. Suddenly, there was a motorcycle speeding towards to me. I'm shocked it make me losing my voice.I felt my heart beating rapidly. The closer the motor vehicle gets, the more I feel the adrenaline rushing into the veins. My brain tells me to run, but my feet can't move. I could only stand on two shaky legs and close my eyes. I listening the tires screeching very loudly, probably because the rider was trying to stop his motorcycle. I couldn't see because my eyes were still closed. And I feel....
_________________________
And I feel someone tugging on my hand. I was shocked. I couldn't even speak. I thought I was switching, not on the highway anymore. Is it possible that the bike hit me too hard? I felt a rushing fluid from my forehead and started falling down my cheeks. Did I bleed too much? I can't feel anything, can't see anything, everything looks dark.
"Hey, miss are you okay?"question of a man.
The man's voice sounded quite so close. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I can't see him because it's all so dark.
"Wake up, please! Can you hear my voice?Please open your eyes!" The voice sounded panic.
I hear people are whispering.
"Do we have to call an ambulance? Looks like she's unconscious. Her face also looked very pale."
"No need, " I hear another person's faint voice.
"Yeah right, maybe her just shocked. How could she not be so pale after what just happened to her? Look at his sweat running down his cheeks!" That's what I heard from a woman.
I think I fainted. But why can I listen to them. It dawned on me that I had closed my eyes really hard. Then I open my eyes. A lot of people around here. It turns out I've been sitting on my knees with my ears closed by my hands.
"Yeah,I am okay" I say it in a quiet voice.
"Will you be able to stand up?"question from the man who tug me.
"Yes,I can do it" I replied, smiling awkwardly at the man who squatted with me.
As I started to get up,I saw a motorcycle just down the hall. Probably he's regret cause he almost hurt me. But if he really regrets what he did, he should be able to say sorry, right?Did he mean to harm me? Hey, what are you thinking, Clara? I should have realized that I was just a poor kid living in an orphanage. What would be the advantage of him if I were truly wretched? I'd just be bad luck for him. I can't see his face because he's wearing helmet. He's wearing a leather jacket. Looks like he's from the city. Suddenly, someone interrupts my thoughts.
"Do I need to take you home,miss?" Asked this man to me.
I turned my gaze to my rescuer. This man is a very nice person. Everyone respect him. I am indebted to him. If he didn't pull my hand earlier, who knows what will hapen.
"Oh, no need. I already feel better." I told him.
"Alright then," he replied.
"But, can you help me one more time?" I asked him.
"Of course. What can I do for you,miss?" He asked, looking into my eyes.
Can you hide today's incident from the orphanage people? " I asked him with a shy smile.
"I could just do it. But you know that my wife always know what happening in this village." He said, laughing so as to show the fine lines in his eyes.
Well, his wife always knows everything what happens. I also know it all from his daughter. His daugter is my best friend. She's the reason I go out at night. She's a girl with a good personality. I think she can definitely have a lot of friends at school. We grew up together. She gives me presents every time she comes back here. I looked at the old man in front of me and said.
"I hope you can persuade her not to preach to the orphanage, please help me Sir." I begged him.
I'm worried, if the foster mother knows it will make her think so hard. I just don't want to make her sick because of this. And she will also forbid me to come out of the orphanage.
"Okay, miss." He said.
"Clara,Sir. My name is Clara. You always forget my name. But once again, thank you." I said.
"Yeah, Clara. Haa..ha...haa. Goodbye and be careful." He laughed as he waved his hand and walked away from me.
Instantly I saw the the motorcycle rider had started to start his motorcycle engine. Because seeing that I'm not hurt ,he went on his way. 'SOUL' it's the word on the back of his jacket when I saw him start walking away.

AUTHOR POV
In another city visible of a girl running out from a mansion while crying. She's running towards the garden. And then she paused under tree. She wiping away her tears.
That's garden lies behind the mansion. The garden is crawling with trees and other plants. Then she prefers to lean under a maple tree. Her feet tread on fallen maple leaves. There's a pavilion in this garden. That is often used for gatherings.
"Why?" She shouted.
What she saw today broke her heart. She listened to the whole thing and it freaked her out. Someone tried to steal her place. Trying to steal away the love of her life.
"I Calista will never share what mine with who anyone" she said to herself.
She's trying to stay calm while taking a breath. Her tears were still flowing and she erased them violently.
And saying " I can't be weak.I have to find out who her is."
That's right, to defeat an enemy we must know what her weakness is. She will do anything to defeat her enemy. She began to tidy up her messy hair while wiping back her tears.
Not far from there is a man who has just entered the garden. He has some things to tell the owner of the house. And he was told to meet in the garden by the owner of the house.
He seemed to hear every word that came out of her mouth. And the girl did not feel the man's presence, because her position was with his back
"I'll never forgive you. I promise will make you pay for what you've done" she said with a sly smile.
Then the girl begins to step back into her mansion. The maiden had left the premises gracefully. Sometimes the maple leaves fall in her footsteps.
The man's eyes still looked at the girl's back as she began to disappear. The plan worked.
He's smiling with mystery.
