Between Me, You, And That Baby
Ep. 43
ARKAN POV
Aqilla's room, in the midst of confusion…
My mind was torn between wanting to decipher the meaning of the foreign-language message by wanting to resuscitate Aqilla who had somehow fallen unconscious.
There must have been something that my eyes missed so they didn't know the reason for Aqilla's stupor.
The body of the little woman I lifted from the floor, for then I lay slowly on the mattress.
I had just released my sling from Aqilla when the voice surprised me ,
“Release that miss!!” a cold voice crept behind my shoulder.
I turned my head, and I was surprised to see a man standing not far from my feet, standing with a gun.
Whatisthis?? my mind questioned it.
“Away from miss, raise your hand” command the man back.
“Who are you? You better leave before I call security” my bluff.
“Security? Who are you?” the man asked back. But the weapon was still on my face.
“You are not Arion Abhimanyu for sure, and not Edric Abhimanyu also”
I was surprised, this man knew about my two brothers. Who her??
“How are you sure I'm not one of them?” I posed a challenge.
“They said Arion Abhimanyu had a beautiful face. You're not pretty”
Don't I know if his words are a mockery to me or not??
“While Edric Abhimanyu is known as a PSP enthusiast, he always carries a PSP as his identity identifier. You who?” the man continued, still questioning my identity.
It sucks, he knows my brothers and he doesn't know who I am. Am I that way compared to them??Sighs.
“You who? Why do you know about them?” I asked back as a form of annoyance.
“I won't reveal my identity until you open it”
“Ya, just might”
“Yaaak, are you crazy?” I snapped in annoyance, until I forgot there was a terrible thing directed right into my chest. A little pull from him, so my history ends.
It seems that we were too engrossed in our debate to the point of not being aware of the circumstances surrounding it. Just as he was about to argue with me with what argument, a pillow suddenly floated before my eyes and eyes. Closer to his eyes, as the next second the pillow landed on his face, covering his gaze for a moment. I took it as an opportunity to cripple him, but a shadow preceded me.
I gasped in surprise when I realized that the shadow was the figure of Aqilla. Even more surprised – approached the hanger attack it felt, seeing Aqilla instead scramble for weapons with the man.
Was I just looking wrong or was it Aqilla who was fighting with the stranger??
Where did he learn martial arts that well??
If he is a martial arts expert, why haven't I known it all this time??
And why have I been paralyzing her all this time??
If indeed this woman in front of me is the Aqilla I know.
Uh, Aqilla did it. He managed to take the man's gun. The position changed, now the foreign man who was in the firing range, by his own weapon as well.
“Tokalev?? Still within reach of my hand” muttered Aqilla.
Uh, does he know what kind of weapon it is??
How can??
“Means you are Aqilla Gunadhya, you fit their story” said the stranger with a smile.
“True, I'm Aqilla Gunadhya. Whoareyou?? Did you arrest Stella?? Where is she??” aqilla's snapped inflamed.
This is an opportunity, while Aqilla still turned the man's attention to him, I took advantage of the opportunity to ask for help. I just had to quietly extend my hand towards the phone behind me. And pressing a few buttons means code red; code danger.
“I was also taught to hold a gun since childhood. After my father left, my guardian John Bachtiar trained me. You know who he is, right?” the man asked.
I think Aqilla recognized the man because he suddenly lowered his guard a little. I hurriedly pressed the last button. Help is coming, just wait…
