ELARA: FATED TO LOVE

14. The missing man

A few days in the hospital, a few days were gone. That's what Elara did. He is undergoing treatment to recover his condition. It was found in quite a bad state. Not only was the wound on his stomach growing, but he only realized if he had also been bitten by a snake, maybe that was what caused him to faint when putting up a tent in the last place he made a flag. I don't know.

Elara is also severely dehydrated.The stomach is irritated and the eyes are quite a lot of soil, that's why when first realized Elara difficult to open the eyes. Elara was grateful she was not blind, nor did she die because a snake could bite her.

After feeling her condition was starting to improve, Elara told her father that she wanted to thank the SAR Team who found her and helped her in the forest. You can imagine if they never passed the place where Elara was, maybe now Elara only lives name without ever found the body because it has been consumed by wild animals.

Elara-Anton's father, who had come to Germany since hearing of the plane crash involving Elara, could only follow all her eldest daughter's wishes because he knew Elara's destination.

"Thank you for helping me out the other day, sir." Elara said to one of the SAR Team representatives who came to visit her.

"That's our job, miss. Hope you recover quickly," said the man sincerely.

"Can I ask you something about the person the SAR team was looking for in the forest at the time?"

"We are looking for a mountaineering man who was declared missing by his fellow climbers. Incidentally, two days before we found you, the center team received an alleged mobile call from the missing man."

"W-what?" Elara began to conclude something. Is the person the SAR team is looking for Shane? But Shane is not lost but rather deliberately separates himself from his friends, so Elara knows.

And about the phone that the SAR team received, does that mean that Shane managed to contact them at that time? Elara does not know because since she said she wanted to find a signal, Shane never came back to her face to tell her what she had done.

"Yes, according to his friends, the man went missing and got lost alone in the Forest, because everyone who climbed had already returned home to each other except the man."

Elara is convinced that the man in front of her is Shane. Indeed Shane admitted that he deliberately separated himself from his friends, but they all do not know the reason Shane was so thought Shane was missing.

"... it is estimated that for more than a week the man did not return. Although they were convinced that the man could survive in the Forest, they were still reporting the news of the disappearance of the man who may have been lost there and needed our team's help to search and find him," add her.

"So has he been found?"

The man in front of Elara shook his head weakly. "Yet. He has not been found, but the central team had received a call from him. That's where our team is increasingly expanding the network to look for it but instead find you," he explained.

"Bo-can I know who the name of that man is?" elara asked with a trembling voice.

"Mane. Shane Gladwin's."

It was there that Elara shed her tears. Elara is increasingly convinced that something has happened to Shane so that the man does not return, nor was he found by the SAR team.

"Bo-can I get news of his discovery?" elara Pinta.

"You mean, Miss?"

"I'd like to learn more about the search for that guy named Shane. Found or not, I want more info. Can I find out about the news update?"

The man frowned for a moment and Elara understood that she was astonished by Elara's request. Elara is reluctant to tell the story of her lightning romance with Shane, so she only gives a cliche reason that sounds reasonable to the man before her.

"Look, I was stuck in the same forest after a plane crash so I'm sorry about the man's fate. I feel like he's just like me which is definitely not necessarily the direction in the forest. So, I'd be very relieved if I found out. I wish he could be found just like me because surviving in the Forest is not easy, especially if the condition of the body is not fine."

The reason Elara made the man smile wistfully. He concluded that if Elara cared for the missing man, she should think she had the same fate.

"Alright, Miss. I'll notify you of this news update."

"Either. May it heal soon."

...****...

"Is there anything you need again?" Anton saw his daughter daydreaming. She thought Elara had returned but her daughter looked different.

"Nothing, Dad."

"May you know what you're thinking? Why did you see you sad?"

"Maybe it's because Ela misses Mother and sisters."

"I'm sorry ... Mother, Liora and Saka have not been able to fly here. But you can video call them, right?"

Elara nodded. It is only today that he is allowed to receive guests or see a cell phone because for several days in the care, the doctor really wants Elara to get exclusive treatment, he said, especially regarding the girl's eyes that could be flushed if too quickly met the cellphone light, including radiation.

"Their phone father used to be yes" Anton said trying to calm Elara.

Elara does miss her mother and her two brothers, but what is a burden on her mind at this time, also what makes her keep daydreaming of groceries today is because she thinks of Shane who has not been found.

"Well, this is the phone." Anton hands the phone in front of the princess and Elara tries to behave normally because she does not want her mother to think about herself here.

"Mother ..."

"Ela, Honey ... Mother misses very much with you, son. Mother is grateful that you are alive. Hicks." There was Nadine's cry. He was really worried about the princess.

"Ela's here, Bun. Mother do not worry anymore. Mommy's in good health, Ela doesn't want you to be sick."

"Yes, Son. Mommy will soon be healthy so that you can visit there. Sorry yes, mother so can not susulin there because once you heard the plane crash at that time, the health of the mother immediately drop."

Elara smiled at her mother. "It's okay, Bun. Ela also apologized because of this situation for the mother fell ill," he said regretfully.

They engage in conversation to let go of the longing between mother and child. Then followed by a conversation between Elara and her youngest sister, Saka.

"I'm sorry, Brother. I'm the same Liora sister can't go there yet. I'm in the final trial. Brother Liora is also busy taking care of the cafe because of Dad who suddenly flew to Germany. We're really relieved Ela's alive and well." She saw her youngest sister crying across the street.

"Udah, boys don't cry, dong. What matters is that my brother is healthy here. Take care of mom, deck."

"Yes, Brother" said Saka.

Elara handed the phone back to her father. His conversation with his mother and youngest sister was enough to make Elara's heart treated. However, there was a wound still gaping there. The wound won't heal before he learns Shane's whereabouts are unclear.

"Lord, please save and take care of Shane wherever he is. He's been looking after me as long as I'm sick and in the woods. So, please take care of him, Lord." Elara prayed in her heart. Indeed his life will not be calm if he does not know the next news about the man who brought half his heart.
