Captain Arkan

Ch. 7 Overnight in the cave

Mitha who realized there was a pair of sharp eyes that were watching her immediately closed her mouth and stopped the laughter. He glanced at Arkan who was still looking at him.

"Is there something wrong with my face, sir?"

"Sir? Am I that old?"

"Ah well we have not yet known. I'm Mitha"

"Yes I know!" answer Arkan cuek.

"You know? How do you know that?"

"Did your head put water on it to be a fool! Didn't you introduce yourself this morning as General Baskoro's daughter!"

"Then who are you?"

"Call me Captain!"

"Hem okay!"

Mitha Manyun's mouth saw the cold answer from Arkan.

Huh so arrogant he is. How annoying! She may not believe that I am the only daughter of a general. He also did not know that I was the fiancee of a great Captain.

It was getting late in the afternoon, there were no signs of help yet. Arkan decided to immediately find a place to spend the night.

I had to anticipate all the possibilities that could come up. My condition is very weak in case of danger, not only can I not protect him, even myself I am not sure I can take care of him.

Arkan got up and started walking down the riverbank. He deliberately searched for a place along the river so that search teams could easily find them.

"Hey you're a whiny girl! Are you gonna stay here by yourself?"

"Where are you going, Captain?"

"I'll find a place to sleep tonight!"

Mitha looked around her which felt cold and creepy.

"Wait on! I'm with the Captain!"

Mitha immediately ran and caught up with Arkan who had already preceded her. After walking far enough, they finally found a cave on the edge of the cliff. Arkan decided to spend the night there.

"Captain, are you sure we're gonna sleep here?"

"I'm so sure! Whether you want to or not!"

"But this place is so slovenly and stinky!"

"Hey lady, this cave is not a five-star hotel!"

Mitha was speechless hearing Arkan's cold and stifling reply. Mitha just stood looking at Arkan who was busy collecting twigs to make a fireplace.

It was already night time, the sounds of animals from within the forest sounded extremely sinister. Mitha shifted her seat to get closer to Arkan. He looks so scared.

Arkan who dariitadi closed his eyes because of the pain in his back was slowly squinting his eyes and saw Mitha who had sat docked to him. He wanted to seduce the girl. As Arkan was trying to grab Mitha, he suddenly felt a great pain in his back wound.

Mitha was terrified to see Arkan crawling and trying to touch her.

"You... What do you want! Don't mess with me, or my Papa will kill you!"

Mitha tried to scare Arkan, but Arkan could no longer hear Mitha's words, he fell right into Mitha's lap. Mitha screamed in fear.

"You're a man b*j*ngan! Dare to take a chance! Move aside! Don't touch me!" mitha screamed while trying to push Arkan who was lying on his lap.

"You stupid girl! Why are you so noisy! Do you want a beast to prey on you!"

Arkan tried to get up, but his body felt so weak. He fell back at Mitha's feet.

"You pervert! You insolent! Stay away, I'm married! You will definitely be killed by my husband!" Mitha pushed Arkan's body and hit hard on his back.

Mitha felt her wet hand after hitting Arkan's back, she just remembered the severe wounds that were there. He saw blood on his hands, and in Arkan's clothes. Mitha tried to touch Arkan's hand to build it, but Arkan remained silent.

Mitha touched Arkan's shivering body, she fumbled Arkan's forehead.

Oh no, it's so hot! He had a fever, it seemed like his back wound was quite severe.

Mitha tried to remove Arkan's clothes, but was troubled because Arkan was in a prone position. Mitha picked up the knife on Arkan's back and tore off his shirt. Mitha looked up at the wide, deep wound on Arkan's back.

What am I supposed to do? This wound is so severe, is he going to die here?

Mitha remembered the backpack she had brought earlier. He unpacked the contents and found a P3K box. Mitha doused Arkan's wounds with alcohol, then cleaned them with cotton. After that he took out a bottle of blue medicine and splashed it on Arkan's wounded back. Mitha wrapped the wound with a bandage.

"I can only do this. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I'm not a doctor."

Mitha muttered and compressed Arkan's hot forehead.

I have to hold this cloth to compress his forehead. It was exhausting, he had not been able to sleep on his back with such severe injuries.

Suddenly Arkan's body trembled violently, he shivered in the cold, it made Mitha very frightened.

"Hey, you arrogant Captain! Wake up! You don't die here! I'm afraid to be alone!"

Mitha tried to warm the narrow room, adding wooden twigs to keep the fire burning. But Arkan is still cold.

"Hey haughty man, get up! Open eyes! You can't die!"

Mitha shook Arkan's body, hoping he would open his eyes. Arkan tried to open his eyes, he saw Mitha who was crying.

"You're so noisy!" Arkan muttered weakly.

Mitha was happy.

"You're still alive, Captain? Thank goodness! I'm so happy!"

Mitha's reflexes hugged Arkan who was still face down. Arkan grimaced in pain.

"Ah I'm sorry Captain! I didn't mean anything else. I'm married too."

"You're married?" Arkan scrunched his forehead.

"Yes, I'm married!" Mitha showed her ring finger wearing her engagement diamond ring with Arkan.

Arkan chuckles amusedly. He did not expect to be so afraid of this girl that he claimed to be married. I'll tease him.

"Don't you say you're engaged to an ugly, bald, fat man?" jeered Arkan while trying to sit down.

Mitha tried to help him sit down.

"Ah I lied to you!" mitha replied embarrassedly.

"Oh yeah? Then who's your husband?"

"My husband is also a soldier, he is a great Captain who is feared in the battlefield!"

Arkan smiled and nodded.

"May I know his name? Maybe I know your husband. What are his traits like the ones you mentioned are ugly, fat and bald?"

Mitha's face blushed hearing Arkan's words. Mitha glanced at the face of Arkan sitting before her.

He is very handsome despite being sick and seriously injured. The color of his dark skin, high posture and contains combined with a sharp nose and a pair of thick eyebrows with sharp eyes. He's really very charming.

"Why are you silent? You haven't answered my question?" ask Arkan to break his daydream.

"Which question?" he pretended to be stupid.

"your husband. What kind of person is he? What's-her-name. We may know each other."

"Don't I tell you, he's a great captain of war. He is the son of his friend Papaku, the son of Mr. Wijaya. You knew her?"

Arkan nodded and smiled.

This girl really doesn't know me, her own fiance. Hahhahahahaa, I will wait until when this game ends.
