Chandanas

The Two of Us

After realizing that we were unable to leave the place by using the existing vehicles, Kiran tried hard to contact the police as well as our friends and also the people closest to us. But there is no signal here. In this quiet forest, let alone internet signals, vehicles are like rare objects that are very rarely found.

Kiran scratched her head with an agitated look on her face, she really wanted to immediately take me away from here because she could not bear to see my condition that looked very sad and messy.

I realize that. The blood that had been spewing out of my forehead had dried up. Not to mention the clothes that were already dirty and shabby. I even felt uncomfortable because Kiran had to see me in this terrible condition.

"First, you have to eat first. Your body is trembling, "Kiran touched my shoulder by constantly trying to lift his phone to get a signal.

"Edy had installed wifi network in the cabin. There is food and clothing there too. We have to get there before Edy wakes up" I propose.

Kiran raised her next eyebrow, "Kabin?"

I nodded as I grabbed his fingers, "We go first," I took Kiran with me and led her towards the cabin even though I myself did not know for sure where we were at the moment. At least I can follow the trail of Edy's car tires that snag along the forest roads.

"Father same late mother I have a cabin in this forest. Not used for years. So, Edy thought he'd be safe hiding here because no one would have predicted that. Where are the criminals hiding in the victim's assets?" I glanced at Kiran who was now grasping my hand so tightly.

"Emang yes, the Edy guy is as smart and clever as that. I really didn't expect him to be able to do any of this" Kiran glanced at me, trying to help me through the boulders and the hostile streets.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You're tired, aren't you? Looks really limp. I'm just carrying, right?" Kiran stopped her steps when she realized that I kept on stumbling every time I walked the ground.

I shook my head, "No need. You have not recovered either. Your body is not healthy. I can walk by myself."

Kiran let go of our hand links, then stepped wide and crouched down in front of me.

He looked back while smiling a thin smile that was somehow really powerful to make my heart beat.

"No. Its nothing. Ayooo!" Kiran still insisted, not by force or loud voice, she asked me as if she was the one who needed this the most, not myself.

Still hesitating, I said, "Are you sure? You're still sick."

Kiran shook her head, her sweet smile did not fade in the slightest. He tried hard to convince me that he was okay with all this even though I myself realized that his body had not completely recovered. But what can I do. Anyone would not be able to resist if someone as kind and adorable as Kiran asked for it.

Sorry, did I just say that Kiran is adorable? Sorry, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. Kiran is not adorable. Just yummy.

I hesitated, then went up to his back and he stood up slowly afterwards. Kiran carried me on her back and walked slowly and carefully. At first, I could feel that his back muscles were contracting violently. However, after a few seconds had passed, he seemed to be able to adapt well.

"May I lean?"

Out of nowhere the request came from, but subconsciously, the sentence was simply spoken from my lips. Of course, of course I feel surprised by myself for saying this all of a sudden. However, as I was busy cursing at this very careless and strange self, Kiran turned her head while saying, "Get it. Time no. Never mind the sand, the fall can also be. Hehe."

My cheeks are red. With hesitation, I draped my arm around Kiran's neck, then rested my head on her shoulder which was a plane.

The smell of Kiran's hair is so fragrant and fresh. Fragrant fruits. Unknowingly, I said, "What fruit do you like?"

"Fruit?" I could feel Kiran looking back to look at me, maybe she was confused because I suddenly asked her a random question.

"I love watermelon fruit" Kiran replied in the end.

Not satisfied, I asked again, "Why watermelon?"

God, why am I being a person once? Why not just shut up and let Kiran focus on these steep and uneven forest roads?

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry?" I said softly, getting my head buried in Kiran's shoulder field.

"Huh? No way. I love it when you ask that. After all, did you not realize that we had been minimal talking? I really want to talk to you a lot. Just don't know what to talk about because near you it feels really good. I don't think anything is peaceful and calm either. But yakali to old we are just diem."

I smiled hearing it. Whatever it was, everything Kiran said always had meaning to me. We don't talk much, but whatever Kiran says always has meaning and value to me. So, now I know that it's not just me who thinks so. Kiran had the same assumption. Relieved and delighted to know that what I felt all this time was also felt by Kiran.

"Where is the watermelon?" I'm trying to get our conversation back on track. I can't help but pound if Kiran keeps talking about the things she just said.

"Eh yes. Watermelon yes," Kiran laughed softly, "Yes delicious. Made ice delicious, in gadoin so doang also mantep. Where the fruit is also great, so ga cepet abis. Thrifty, intelligent, cheerful."

"Are the times just that?"

"Ye, do you like fruit, especially the reason?"

"Yeah, what is that. There is a philosophical reason. You usually do," I raised my head to look at the side of Kiran's face that was now looking straight ahead.

"There's a philosophical reason. But no, I don't want to tell you."

"Well, how is that?"

Kiran gave a small smile, then said again, "This is straight doang right?"

"Yes. Just follow Edy's tire tracks."

"OKAY. You just sleep. When I arrive, I will wake you up. Yea?"

"Can?"

I nodded, laying my head back on Kiran's shoulder comfortably.

---

"Miyamoto.."

"Chandan.. Wakes up. I've arrived at this."

I blinked a few times when I heard someone call my name. With a bit of pain in some parts of the body, I opened my eyes and found that we had reached the front of the cabin. Kiran has managed to take me back to the cabin.

Slowly, Kiran lowered me from her back. I saw cold sweat flooding Kiran's forehead and body. I don't know how far he has walked while holding me behind him, which surely Kiran must have been very difficult.

I drew closer to Kiran and reached out to wipe away the sweat and sweat that flooded her face, "Capek huh?"

Kiran nodded in agreement, "Yes. You are so heavy. Abis ate the stone?"

I gently hit Kiran's arm with a raised smile, "Yaudah, let's hurry in. You call the police at home, shower and change, then bring as much food as you can."

Kiran raised her eyebrows, "We're not waiting for the police to come? If we bring food and all those macems, where should we go? Malem is also."

"This place is not safe Kiran. You see for yourself, Edy is a very well-planned man. It is not impossible that he predicted that we would be here. It'll be dangerous until he gets back and we're still here. There are other places we can go. And the good thing is, Edy does not know at all about the existence of the place. So, let's hurry. We can't stay here for long" I reminded Kiran not to underestimate Edy. We can't let our guard down because anything can happen.

Kiran did not argue, she agreed to my words and rushed into the cabin while turning on her phone.

While Kiran was busy contacting people she felt needed to contact, I rushed to the room and cleaned myself up.

It felt so fresh when the cold and cool water from this mountain water started to touch my skin. Some open wounds that spread all over my body and face also began to feel sore not playing. However, there was no time to wail or feel pain. I need to hurry up and leave as soon as possible. For some reason, ever since I opened my eyes after sleeping for a while, I felt a little bad. It felt as if something was interfering with my heart and mind, a bad feeling.

After cleaning myself for about fifteen minutes, I walked out of the bathroom to pick up some clothes. A few days ago, Edy had bought me a dozen sets of clothes because he brought me here without letting me carry a single personal item.

Without weighing and choosing what I want to wear, I quickly picked up a short-sleeved shirt with cloth trousers. Afterwards, I walked downstairs and found Kiran standing in the living room.

"Connecting people home?" I asked as I took a quick step towards the kitchen to pack some food.

There was no response from Kiran. Feeling something was wrong, I asked, "What's wrong?"

Kiran walked towards me with a lethargic and sad look.

"Nothing. There is no internet network. Edy destroyed his router. He ruined everything. Food is not there at all."

I'm glaring. Quickly, I opened the refrigerator, the food cabinet, and searched the entire place in the kitchen in a hurry. However, there is nothing. Let alone food, no cobwebs. Everything is empty and clean. It was as if Edy had found out that we would manage to break free and return to the cabin.

My heart is beating fast. The fear and panic started running through me once again. I'm afraid we can't escape. I was afraid that Edy would come back to arrest us and torture Kiran in front of me like he did a while ago. I'm afraid we'll be stuck here without anyone knowing. I'm afraid Kiran's hurt, I'm taku

"Don't be afraid. Here there is me. You are no longer alone. As long as I am near you, I will take care of you. Don't be afraid, Chandana," Kiran grabbed my trembling hand, grasping it gently and tightly. It was as if he was channeling courage and strength through our touch. It was as if he was strengthening me and trying to give me security.

I looked at him, as did Kiran who was also looking at me with her faint smile that looked very sincere and soothing.

I also smile. It felt, my fear and anxiety gradually went away just by realizing that I was not alone. That Kiran is here and holding my hand. That we were together.

"By the way, you cantiiikkk. But I'm still dirty and dirty like this is what's so bad. I also want to take a shower and change my clothes. No guy's shirt, huh?" kiran said as she flicked her clothes with a stupor.

I chuckled, "It must be in Edy's room. She buys a lot of clothes. But I don't know if he's taking or throwing away all his clothes."

Kiran nodded in understanding, "Where is Edy's room?"

I walked ahead of Kiran, intending to drive her to Edy's room on the second floor. Kiran followed me from behind while repeatedly praising how beautiful and beautiful this place was. Kiran said that she would suggest that her father also buy a cabin in the middle of the forest like this so that they can have an occasional vacation and feel the taste of life as Tarzan.

"If Tarzan had lived in a tree house, Kiran. Not in the cabin. If you want to be Tarzan then stay in the forest just keep sleeping."

"Ye, if tau-tau to the forest continues to sleep mah not Tarzan atuh, it's mad tea."

I smiled softly as I turned the doorknob of Edy's room which turned out to be locked.

"Here, let me break down," Kiran grabbed my shoulder and asked me to spare a little so that she could break down the wooden door.

"You sure? Let's find something for Rusakin to handle the door. If you break it down it won't hurt?" I tried to suggest another option so that Kiran would not need to bump her body to just open the door of Edy's room.

Kiran raised her eyebrows, "You are. Here, this is the work of boys. Time so doang letoy anyway pack the help of other tools. You see how brave I am."

Kiran took a swing, then banged her body to break the door repeatedly. At first, Kiran did not succeed until I myself became worried because I saw her frowning and enduring pain several times.

brak!

Door opens. Kiran almost toppled over when the door slammed in. Instead of finding a clean room or neat clothes, Kiran and I were surprised instead of playing after seeing three human bodies lying on the bed. Two of them were male bodies whose heads and some parts of his body had been destroyed, one was the body of a woman who was already headless.

A single tear fell from my eye. My fingers were shaking, and so were my legs that were suddenly limp and not powered up.

Kiran stood up with equal surprise, she turned around and looked at me, "I-This is what... They're vain Hoooeeeekkkkk!"
