BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Back to That Night

In a severely injured condition, Bayu still tried to get up. Some parts of his body felt pain due to falling from above to the hill. His hand held the part of his waist that was hit by a puncture. Fresh blood is still pouring out.

Sayup-sayup heard the roar of people down the hill. It seems like it's a rebel group that's looking for him again. Bayu used all his remaining strength to walk, as much as possible to escape so as not to be caught by them.

Just a few steps away, his mouth was smothered and his body was dragged away by someone. He could not resist because he was very weak. The man dragged him into the cave hall not far from where he fell. His body was dropped to the ground.

Bayu watched the man wear the same uniform as the people he was dealing with. Rebel groups. Maybe his fate should end tonight. He's been caught.

The cave hole where they entered was covered with leaves. Making the atmosphere in the cave darker even though the light of the full moon can still enter through the cracks. Then, the man approached her. Bayu was still in pain withstanding the puncture wound on his waist.

The man took out a small bottle, no matter what it was. He also ripped a piece of cloth.

"I'll help treat you, you'll have to shut up so the people out there don't find us. Hold on a little, this is gonna hurt."

The man saw the wound on Bayu's waist with his flashlight. He opened the bottle cap in which there is powder and sprinkled the powder over the wound Bayu. Bayu almost screamed, he closed his mouth tightly with both hands.

The thing that the person sprinkled really made his wound so sore that it felt unbearable. After the powder was sown evenly on his wound, the man wrapped a long piece of cloth around his waist and tied it tight.

Bayu started to catch his breath. The pain he felt was growing smaller.

"Sstt." the man turned off his flashlight when he heard the sound of people out there looking for them.

"So the fall seems to be around here."

"Let's see you, stupid!"

"Wear the flashlight, who knows hide in the bushes."

"Why should we look for that guy? Just let him die. Were it not for a puncture wound or falling from above, there would still be wild hewa that would prey on it."

"Here you go, what a hard time to obey the orders of the general."

"Who was that man to catch him?"

"Must be someone important. From his looks I think he's got a good job in J City."

"Let's not come here, maybe it's over there or it falls into the river and gets washed away."

"OK, okay.... I'm looking over there."

The sound of their footsteps grew further and further away. The mood became quiet.

"We'd better spend the night here. Tomorrow, early in the morning we're out. Looks like they'll keep looking for us all night."

"Why are you hiding here, aren't you also a part of them?" ask Bayu curious.

"Ah, that.... I'm not actually a part of them. I'm an intel assigned to this area."

Bayu gulped, it turns out that he is currently dealing with undercover police.

"You're disguised as part of them, aren't they suspicious."

"No. They like to recruit village youth to join them. I happen to have the blood of this land even though I was born living in J City. I joined their recruitment and have been with them for a year."

"I'm so happy to meet people from J City here."

"They are most anti-people from outside their territory."

"The goal is he said to preserve the local nature and prosper the local community."

"In reality, they like to torture people. Including also by forcing their children who have graduated from High School to join. If it refuses, one family will be slaughtered."

"They also like to forcibly deprive livestock or people of food. Anyway, the purpose of those who are said to rebel wants to be free for the sake of the people, in fact they themselves are oppressing the society."

"Your entourage is the same, almost a victim of looting. Must be the reason to save nature, right?"

If only the police in front of him knew, Bayu would have been thrown into prison. Inside the log were two tons of marijuana that he hid. Marijuana belongs to Mr. Saddam. Although only an intermediary, Bayu's actions can still be criminalized.

"What do you want to investigate from them all the way back from City J?"

"I was assigned by the unit to investigate the people who financed them all along and supply them with weapons."

"According to information, all their activities are supported by some who come from J City."

Bayu was silent again. The one who supplies the weapons is his own father, and the one who finances their movement must be the one who is close to his father.

"Is their activity particularly harmful?"

"of course. In addition to disturbing the citizens, it can also destroy the integrity of the country."

"If they have more and more sympathizers, their power can be greater, then carry out rebellious movements and divide the unity of our country."

"I should be able to prevent it before it happens."

"Oh, yes. Introduce, my name is Bara." The man reached out his hand to shake his hand.

"My name is Bayu."

Bayu returned his hand.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to my house."

"You have a house here."

"Yes, my adoptive parents' house. Identity, so they don't suspect."

"What about your injuries, have they improved?"

"Yes, the pain is gone."

"What medicine did you give me."

"Oh, you mean this?" Bara showed me his little bottle.

Bayu nodded.

"It's marijuana powder and some other ingredients."

Bayu just understood, deserved the wound is no longer painful. It turns out he was treated with marijuana.

"Tomorrow your wound must be treated properly. I'm taking you to the doctor's clinic."

"What if they're still after me?"

"You have nothing to fear, they live on the hillsides. They're also out more at night."

"You can stay in my house until you get well. After that, you can go back to City J."

"Again thanks."

"No need to thank me. Fellow people from City J in a foreign area are brothers."

The two of them continued the conversation, discussing things that varied from trivial to serious. Slowly the drowsiness approached them. Enveloped in the cold night and darkness of the night, the two finally fell asleep.

Two people with very contradictory professions could sleep in the same place side by side.

Bara and Bayu. Bara which is fire and Bayu which is wind. Whether the baby (wind) will extinguish the embers (fire), or the embers will eliminate the baby.
