I Found Love With You

161. Blurred

“Om, Om!” Faris shouted while banging on the door.

“What's up?” snapped one of the kidnappers that night on duty.

“Om, Sickness, Om. Take it to the doctor, Om!” faris Pinta.

“Don't lie to you!” snatch the kidnapper.

“Aris doesn't lie, Om. Just hold Aras's face. Hot, Om.”

The man entered the room and held Faras' forehead. He felt the heat coming out on the back of his hand.

“Your brother is sick, but I can't take him to the doctor. I found a cure for him.”

“Aras can't take drugs carelessly, Om. Must go to doctor first.”

“Ah, don't talk to you much. What matters is that he is healed. You want your brother dead, huh?”

“No, Om.” Faris began to sob at the thought that Faras would die.

“Means don't much demand.”

The man passed and a few moments later brought paracetamol.

“Heh, wake!” the kidnapper shook Faras' still unmoved body.

“Do not be rude so, Om!” faris Protest.

“Wake up your brother. If it is not good too, I throw away the medicine,” threatened the kidnapper.

“Iya, Om. Aris wake up first Aras.”

Faris began to shake the body of her twin sister.

Faras opened his eyes slightly. My eyes look red.

“Aras, take medicine first yes. About the kidnappers bring medicine for Aras.”

Faras. He does not like to take drugs especially drugs that are not guaranteed. It is very similar to Kagendra. He must always make sure what goes into his body is trusted and guaranteed quality.

“If Aras does not take medicine, Aras will die. If Aras dies later Aras can not meet with father and mother. Drink, yes,” persuade Faris.

Hearing that he could no longer see his father and mother, Faras soon wakes up and takes the medicine from the kidnapper's hand.

“This medicine is special for children or adults?” tanya Faras stammered.

“Drink only! Don't ask too many questions,” replied the kidnapper.

“Just answer, Om. If it's kids, Aras drinks it all. If you make an adult, Aras drink half of it.”

“That's medicine from the stall,” replied the kidnapper.

Faras recalled his mother once saying that children taking adult medicine should be cut in half.

Faras cut the tablet into two pieces. Because his hand was not strong enough to divide, he cut it using his teeth. Faris who saw Faras biting the medicine that had a bitter taste grimaced.

“Not bitter?”

Faris did not answer Faris' question. After cutting the medicine in half, he drank half of it and threw out the rest.

The next morning, Faras' body temperature was still hot but not as hot as last night. It seemed like the medicine he was consuming was powerful enough to lower his heat temperature or his body was forced not to be spoiled by the pain.

Finally the chance to escape arrived. Two kidnappers who could be on guard duty were out until there was no one to stand guard in the old building.

“Aris, you dare not go up to the window?”

“The window is high, Aris is afraid.”

“Terus Aras here how?”

“Do not think of Levels. The important thing is that you keep on running for help. Can?”

“Aris scared, Aras. How about they catch Aris again.”

“Means you have to run as fast as possible. Keep looking for help with good people.”

“But Aris is afraid that they hit Aras again. Yesterday they hit Aras because of Aris, Aras also still hurts.”

“Aras is okay. Later if Aris already outside, can ask for help with people.”

“Quick up!” faras's orders.

Faris climbed up on Faras's shoulders, “Pundak Aras does not hurt?”

“Sick! Hence quickly go up to his window.”

Faris tried to crawl to the window and hold on to both his right and left sides. He looked down.”

“Aris is afraid of jumping. Height.”

“Do not be afraid. Let's just say Aris came down from the tree like we used to when we climbed the tree.”

Faris tried to muster up his courage. Closing his eyes, Faris jumped down from the window. Luckily underneath there were dry leaves piled up so it didn't hurt too much as his feet rested on the ground.

“Aras! Levels!” call Faris from the outside.

“Do not scream! Fast run!” faras's orders.

Not wasting any more time, Faris galloped away from the old building where she was held for several days without proper sleeping and food. His body felt very weak because it had not eaten since last night. Tears were pouring down her cheeks. He remembered Faras whom he had left behind. He did not dare to imagine Faras alone facing the kidnappers. However, Faris has no other choice, he must immediately seek help so that he can save his twin brother.

Night greeting, Faris still did not dare to come out of his hiding place. He was afraid the kidnappers were after him. After the situation was quite safe, Faras only dared to come out of hiding. During his escape, Faras hides in a park from an abandoned house he finds on the run.

After a dark day he came out of hiding and walked down the sidewalk of the city. His stomach was already very sick because it had not been filled with food. He saw a rice shop that was about to close.

“Assalamualaikum, Mom. Is there still food? I haven't eaten but I don't have the money to buy food. Can I have a meal?”

“Why are you doing these nights hanging around? You're not afraid?” ask the owner of the rice shop.

“I'm lost, Bu.” Faris had to lie.

“This is in!” The mother of the rice seller invited Faris to go into her stall and prepare a plate of rice with egg stew and tofu. “Only remaining stews tofu and eggs. You want to eat the same tofu and eggs?”

Faris nodded happily. “Mau, Bu.”

“Whose name are you, son?” ask the shop owner.

“Aris, Bu.” Faris felt that the woman before her was a good person for feeding her. He decided to ask for help from the mother of the owner of the rice stall.

After Faris finished his meal, he ventured to ask the shop owner for help.

“Bu, can you ask please not?” ask Faris politely.

“Ask what please, Nak?”

“Please take Aris to the police station. Aris wants to report to the police that Aris is lost. Later let the police help tell his father Aris.”

“Now it's night. Tomorrow I'll take you to the police station. Tonight you stay at Mom's house?”

Faris nodded and accepted the offer at the owner of the rice stall. Tonight, he felt very tired. He wants to go to sleep soon.
