ARINDAS

The wingless angel

A man was busy in front of his laptop. As usual every morning, always check all emails.

There is an incoming message notification. He narrowed his eyes, afraid of seeing wrongly. Because, the man thought the address nobody knew.

The tall, handsome-looking man opened it. Then, he called someone to watch together. A serious face was visible, they looked at the video in silence.

After watching, as soon as possible he contacted his men to take care of the search.

The man turned his head, “You're worried?”

Only a nod was given in response.

“I've contacted everyone. Trust them, the girl will be found soon.”

“How about ...”

“Don't think too much. I also ordered them to take care of the others. We just have to wait for news.”

“Make sure if the girl is found alive. Don't let me hear the news that he's dead. Because, there will be another death if it happens.”

“Yes, you take it easy. How's breakfast? Is it ready? I'm so hungry.”

“This you, I'm seriously talking!”

“Oh, Honey! Don't be mad, I'm sorry. But, I'm really starving.”

Three jeeps drove over the cobbled streets. For them, tracing the forest was common. The eyes were like eagles staring intently around.

When the road was dead, they got out of the car. Replacing the forest by splitting people into teams. In their hands were ready long-barreled rifles.

Two tall and well-built men were seen on the road. One of them was the Special Forces Chief assigned to conduct the search. The man seemed to be busy with his phone.

“Bos, troops have spread in forest area and villa area. We will contact if there is any development.”

“Susur hold forest. Don't you dare go back if you haven't found the lady! And, arrest everyone involved. Do not leave any traces. Drag them to headquarters!”

“Good, Boss. Command ready to be executed!”

❄️❄️❄️

It only took an hour to find the target. The chief gave the order.

“Bring miss to the hospital. Make sure to get the best care in the VVIP.” Room

“Siap, carry out!”

The ringing of the chairman's phone sounded, he immediately scrolled the green screen upwards.

“All targets have been brought to headquarters. One man fled, but the troops were chasing him.”

“Find him or you will die!”

“Siap, Chairman! Command executed!”

❄️❄️❄️

The girl only regained consciousness after nearly seven hours of lying down. The pain in the feet and hands from falling is still felt. He was also exhausted and dehydrated, rendering him unconscious.

Thankful that everything has passed. Someone from behind the glass on the bathroom door smiled. He was glad the girl was conscious.

“Suster, can I ask please give this to the girl. If he asked, there was no need to explain anything. Thank you.”

Arinda looked at Ricko's necklace and ring that had been given by a nun. He wondered who had helped him. I asked a few sisters and doctors, but no one answered.

“Surely you helped me ‘kan, Rick?” Just giving an argument, a split second later Arinda immediately denied.

“But, not possible. You're still in London. Ah, so who helped me. Did a herd of gorillas take me to this hospital? Who knows they consider me Tarzan's lover.”

Arinda laughed with her own thoughts. Watching too many movies makes it fun to fantasize.

For one week more Arinda was hospitalized. When he came home, there was no billing paper for him. I don't know who the angel who paid all those fees. He stayed in a VVIP room.

The girl just sends greetings to the nurse and the doctor. Greetings from him and thanks to the savior. Because he helped her from death.

In fact, when returning home, a private car is ready to drive. Trying to ask the driver the same question and the answer is just a smile. Angels are invisible, but they are real.

❄️❄️❄️

The beautiful girl, white, and had the big nose back home. Don't think there'll be a welcome for her or a cry.

Not at all! Everything goes flat. Like nothing ever happened. Even if they die, they may not hold tahlil, but a party.

Nita gave me a hug and then left. The woman who was so guarded and in love by Arinda passed by without asking her news. In fact, it was not suspicious of his sudden return.

Arinda followed her mother from behind. The girl pulled Nita's hand slowly.

“Ma, at least ask your daughter, am I still human or not? Look at my feet, are they still treading or floating? Pretend to be sad so that I am happy,” said Arinda sad.

“Mama knows you're okay. Then, what to worry about.”

“Ma ..”.

“Mama many cake orders. You rest in the room.”

Mama ....

Arinda stared at Nita's departure with nanar. Disappointment is covering it.

While Erwin, no need to expect! Don't ask, just look no.

Arinda breathed a tired sigh. There is no love and happiness in this house. The atmosphere is always hot, coolness is only found when opening the refrigerator and chewing ice cubes.

The girl stepped up the stairs to her room. His legs and hands have been slowly improving. Only her wrist was still supported by a cast. The next day, the doctor told him to take it off at the nearest hospital.

Tired of everything that happened, Arinda chose to lay her body on the mattress. Then, the girl closed her eyes. He is not sleepy, but just wants to close his eyes.

“How can I hate you, Ma. Every time you try, you always fail. I can't do it.”
