A Cold Frozen Hearts
Eps. 21 Mafia vs Negotiations
The sun has shone again in the eastern horizon, giving light to the life that is in the sun at the same time by providing warmth at the same time.
A pair of humans had entered the forest, making a sound on every path they did. Every now and then Raysa looks back fearing the girl behind him if he suddenly disappears.
“You'd better be in front,” Raysa said telling the girl to lead the way.
When entering a forest that is foreign to ourselves, sharpening hearing and adding to alertness is the thing to do. Nayla occasionally observes the surroundings using her binoculars.
Only heard a few times they spoke on the way home, the more they kept quiet while walking back down the road they went through yesterday.
Nayla sometimes asks about the types of plants, sometimes asking about the lives of the people who are here.
“Can you take me to the gold mine here?”
“Hm. For what?”
“I want to get rich suddenly,” said Nayla joking.
Raysa frowned when she heard what the girl in front of her had just said.
“Two months I'm here,” said Nayla reminded if the time is not long in the Kam.
“What will you do after returning?”
“Searching for a girlfriend, keep marrying her,” Nayla replied with a cry.
Again the man behind him made him wrinkle his forehead.
“I'll stay abroad,” says Nayla again.
“Where?”
Nayla didn't answer that question. It was as if he wanted to make the man curious about his purpose.
Several people were walking with guns, clearly visible in Nayla binoculars. Nayla invites the man with her to hide and gives her binoculars so that Raysa sees what she saw earlier. At that time they were both at the top of the cliff.
“Smuggling Illegal Weapons,” Raysa has a small voice afraid his voice will echo if he speaks in a big tone.
“Nuggling?”
“That's the guy who shot you,” Raysa's eyeballs were rounded when he saw the man who wanted to shoot Nayla was among them, but rather the man has now been battered, they may have been beaten by their own group.
“Didn't you remember anything?” ask Raysa. “Why the man wanted to shoot you,”
“No, I just saw it for the first time,”
Nayla tried to think hard about why she wanted to be killed. But he didn't remember anything, didn't even know the man at all.
“You go back to Kam first,” said Raysa told Nayla to leave. Since it was younger for Raysa to move freely if she was not with the girl, she was afraid that the girl would get hurt if she remained with the girl.
“No, I want to come,”
“Dangerous if you come with me,”
“More danger if I go alone. What if they had another plot, what if I suddenly encountered a giant snake. I can die silly, let alone I'm not married,”
Raysa chuckled, hearing what the girl with him said, at the same time he was right at the same time as the girl was making a joke. Maybe he was like that, or he was intentionally to hide his fear, clearly visible with his hands trembling.
"You scared?"
"No.. I'm hungry,” said Nayla as she puffed her cheek, at the same time the girl's stomach voice sounded.
“Hm. Could be, in a situation like now this girl is hungry,” Raysa saturate with the silliness that is happening. “Since we haven't had breakfast, no wonder he's hungry. But, we'll lose track of them,”
Raysa looked at the girl.
“Wait here, I'll get you some fruits you can eat. Don't go anywhere,” Raysa said as she left the girl.
Nayla kept an eye on the group of smugglers, thinking about the possibilities.
“How do I ask for help huh? If using the radio will be found out, moreover there is no network here,”
“I must have forgotten something. But why don't I remember,”
“This, I brought you a banana, this is all I can get,” Raysa thrust the fruit he has got.
“Come, before we lose them,” said Nayla.
Slowly but surely, the two of them followed the movement of the group. Raysa was worried, because she was afraid that something would happen, but she also could not leave the girl alone or tell the girl to go home. He's in a very wrong situation.
The distance between them and the group was left around 500 meters again. Raysa observed the situation around, some guards within the radius, of course, with firearms in their hands, as if ready to shoot if there are enemies coming.
“We can't get close. We better get back,”
“Can't we infiltrate?”
A silly question, at such a bad time.
“We are in their border region,”
“His army of about 50 fully armed people,” Raysa explained the situation in the place they were seeing it.
“I have an idea,” says Nayla. “What we need, is who the master is here,” Nayla said. “We just teased her,” said Nayla.
The man looked at the girl before him, as if the girl was not afraid at all, or he liked the thing itself.
“What if we fail,”
“Yes we die,” says Nayla.
The man patted his eel, could still be joking at a time like that.
Nayla opened her bag, grabbed something shaped like a stick, then tried to assemble something.
“This is Portable Arrow,” Nayla said. “We use this send a message,”
“Let me take aim,”
Now the arrows darted quickly in the air, until it hit a member of the tesebut, making their sensors detect the enemy.
A tall, well-built man, hair in golden yellow paint made the man come out of a hut in the middle of the forest. It didn't take long for the group to discover the whereabouts of Nayla and Raysa.
Raysa who saw Nayla who was so relaxed made her a little worried, about what Nayla really thought.
“Welcome to my home, my old friend,”
Greet someone, when you see Raysa. Raysa's eyes widened in shock when she saw who greeted her.
“Adrian?”
“And you are still like before,” said the man called Adrian by Raysa. “She's your boyfriend?” the man approached Nayla.
Raysa tries to keep Nayla away from the man, by making Nayla hide behind him.
“Hai, we'll see you again yes,”
“Do you know me?”
“Come on, don't be. After you sent your men to warn me,”
“Cih, I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. Tell me where the stuff you're hiding,”
“Needle?”
“Iya. The chip you're hiding,”
“When did I take it from you?”
“A few days ago in a populated village,”
“I have absolutely no idea what you're saying, and Chip you mean,”
“Shitt, That chip contains all the transactions I did,”
“Pfft,” Nayla laughs, while Raysa begins to understand what the girl really thinks “Because of you,” Nayla carves a sumrigai smile on her little lips. “It turns out you were fooled by your own group. Let me be clear, I have never met you at all, second I did not steal it, third along with him during my time there, last there was a traitor in your own group,”
The man was shocked to hear what Nayla had just said, trying to digest what the girl before him had said.
“Try thinking, if the chip was in my hand, I would have given the chip to him, (pointed Raysa) and he would have sent his team to catch you. But we actually camped. Do you think that makes sense?”
“Find the traitor,” shouted the man.
All of its members went through the forest looking for the person who betrayed them. The man was left with one of his confidants.
Nayla took something out of her pants pocket, a small plastic and a visible item.
“What is this chip you're looking for?”
Adrian who saw it felt deceived by the girl who was with Raysa.
“You tricked me?”
Raysa smiled to see his old friend was colonized by the girl who was beside him.
Adrian points a gun at Nayla, causing Raysa to do the same.
“I just said a little truth mixed with lies,”
“Give me,” said Adrian wants the goods that are in Nayla's hands. “I'll let you go from here safely,”
“Lying, I don't believe you. Em, I'm actually hungry, can I eat first? You got any food? Feed me first, so we can negotiate,”
Eliminating the men's gunmen, was Nayla's first goal to be free from death due to dozens of weapons.
Although the man was upset, but he obeyed the wishes of the girl who wanted to eat.
Fifteen minutes had passed, Nayla had devoured the food she had given her, so relaxed that her body could not lie if she was actually afraid.
Actually, Nayla was just stalling until help came along.
Elsewhere at the same time, Kurnia led her team into the jungle.
So long, the negotiations that took place but there has been no agreement. The men standing behind Adrian realized the tactics played by Nayla, warning the boss to anger the man.
“It turns out you're stalling until help arrives,”
Nayla retreated a few steps away and hid behind Raysa's body who had earlier pointed the weapon at Adrian.
A shot was heard, leaving Nayla and Raysa distracted.
Dorian
A bullet went through the girl's skin. Raysa who saw that, mindlessly pulled the trigger and shot several times towards the man.
The situation at that time was so scary. Those who were at the height of the waterfall, made Nayla fall from there.
Dor's!
One more shot was heard, Raysa also jumped from that height trying to help Nayla who had fallen earlier.
The blood, now mixed with water makes the river red.
