I Love Not Lara

Lara, I'm Coming

Marshal took a deep breath when stepping foot in Surabaya. "Lara, I'm coming." 

He then went to a hotel, not far from the residential complex where Lara lived. After that, he came to the address that had been given by Love.

After arriving at the house, Marshal then got out of the car, and came to a security guard who was guarding the house, not forgetting the disguise attributes in the form of fake mustaches, glasses and hats had Marshal wear. Around the house that Lara lived in, there were some Nicholas men who stood guard.

"Excuse me sir."

"Yes what's wrong?"

"Is this really Mr. Nicholas' house?"

"True Mas, sorry what need, Mas?"

"Look sir, a week ago I was contacted by Mrs Lara to clean the AC in her room. But since I'm busy, I can only come today."

"Oh so, I briefly asked Mrs Lara. I'm sorry to know, what's her name?"

"Say my name is Dino, from the village next door."

"Okay, I go inside first."

'Lara I hope you still remember that name, ' Inner Marshal.

FLASHBACK 18 YEARS AGO.

A little girl appeared to approach a boy who was riding on a swing.

"Hi."

The boy only glanced at him.

"What are you doing? You can't talk?"

"Who I can't say."

"Maha." The little girl laughed.

"Why are you laughing at me?"

"I'm not laughing at you, I'm just happy to make you open your voice."

The boy then snorted in annoyance. "Didn't you come here to accompany me? Why should I entertain you?" said the little girl.

"I am sad to have to part with Mother at the Panti and my friends."

"Is Mother good?"

"Sure, Mother is so kind and loves me."

"Maybe just like my Mama, said Opa Mama is also so good. Butiii..."

"But why?"

"Mama's gone and she's never coming back."

"Hey don't be sad, weren't you so cheerful why you were suddenly like this."

The little girl then shook her head, tears began to fall from both corners of her eyes. "Hey little girl, don't be sad, it's better today we're friends. Didn't we both lose someone we care about?"

The little girl then nodded and pointed her little finger at the boy. "Friends?"

"Friends" replied the boy.

"Hey we're friends but I don't know your name, my name is Lara. What's your name?"

"Marshal" 

"Your name is so hard, how about I call you by the name of Dino? Because you're tall big like a dinosaur. Haha...."

"Dino? I think it's a slightly odd name, but no matter what, call me as you like Lara."

"Well, from today on I call you Dino. Dino from the village next door. Hahahaha.." said Yasmine with a bitter laugh.

"Why from the next village?"

"Because I don't know where you came from."

The two of them laughed together.

"Dino stays by my side, I want us to be together, all our lives..."

"Of course Lara...."

...----------------...

"Mas."

Marshal's daydreams were scrapped when he heard the sound of the security guard calling him. "Yes sir, how?"

"Please come in, Mrs Lara is waiting for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Marshal then entered the house, accompanied by the security guard. "Mas, it's Madam, please ask the Madam directly."

"Okay sir, thank you."

Marshal also stepped closer to the figure of the woman who is now sitting at the table near the kitchen, the woman looked a little thin compared to the last time she met, her face was withered not as happy as before. Marshal's heart was so rumbling and his entire body was shaking as the woman turned her body. There was only one word in his heart, Miss. The greatest longing for the only woman in his heart.

"Marshal's..."

"Mara...."

Instantly Lara slammed into the arms of Marshal, the cries of both of them broke. Marshal and Lara, then hugged so tightly. A longing that was stirring, making them unable to hold back the turmoil in his heart. The marshal who could no longer resist the longing in his chest, immediately kissed Yasmine's lips passionately. They held each other while hugging each other, for almost half an hour.

"See Marshal my lips until they bleed" Lara protested.

"Haha... I miss you too much, dear," replied the Marshal, and they laughed together. "Lara, how are you?" Lara did not answer, there was only a cry on her face that described her as not okay.

"Relax Lara, I'll get you out of here."

"But this isn't easy for Marshal."

"I'll try as hard as Lara can."

"Marshal beware of so many CCTVs in this house, that's why I met you in this kitchen, because right now only this kitchen is safe from CCTV cameras."

"Lara please help me, so that my plan works."

"What can I do for Marshal?"

"I'm gonna get you out of Lara's back door, and we're gonna go over the fence next to the pool to get out of this house. But, please help me, stick that door lock on this paper, then draw a pattern from that key, I'll make a duplicate of that key, Ra."

"Yes Marshal."

Lara then took the key, then traced the key pattern onto a paper. "It's Marshal."

"Lara, when the house is dark, please cover all the CCTVs in the house with a cloth so they don't know we're gone."

"That's an easy thing."

"Good, another Lara."

"What?"

"Look at this," Marshal said with a smile, and gave a paper packet containing a white powder. Lara laughed at him.

"Sleeping pills? It's an easy thing Marshal, I even always do it on my bodyguard first" Lara replied.

"I know that, and now you have to do it again, Ra."

"Well, here's my thing." 

"Now I'm leaving baby, it's 01:00 in the morning I'm back here."

"Well be careful, Marshal."

"Get yourself, Lara."

Marshal then left the house. As they passed by Nicholas' men, and the security guard, they greeted the Marshal so kindly. 'Good, no one suspects me, ' Inner Marshal. He then took his cell phone. "Tigor, watch Nick's men's movements, and prepare the backyard, so that I can easily enter the house."

"Good sir."

***

At 01:00 in the morning, the marshal was ready behind the house. "Tigor, how's the guard up ahead?"

"Aman, at 11pm Non Lara already gave them sleeping pills."

"Good, now you're standing guard here."

"Good."

The marshal then entered the house by climbing the back wall, then sneaked into the house through the back door. And apparently, Lara was waiting for him.

"Lara, where's Nicholas?"

"He's asleep."

"You also gave her sleeping pills?"

Lara just smiled mischievously at the Marshal. "Smart kid," Marshal replied as he ruffled Lara's hair.

"Let's get out of here."

Lara then nodded and followed the Marshal walking into the backyard. "Lara, get on my back, then climb that wall, outside there's already a Bang Tigor that will help you to get down."

"Yes Shal."

Lara climbed the wall, followed by Marshal. "Yes, succeeded! I'm Marshal-free!"

"Don't make a noise Lara."

"Ups... Sorry..."

After getting out of the house, they then ran towards a parked car not far from the house. Tigor and his three men followed behind.

"Tigor, please order one of your men to stand guard here, and report all the moves of Nicholas and his men."

"Good boss."

Tigor then orders Reza, one of his men to stand guard, while Fandi, Doni, and Tigor follow Marshal to stand guard at the hotel.

Arriving at the hotel, Marshal orders Tigor and his men to stand guard in the lobby. "Tigor please take care that no Nicholas men will enter this hotel, we will leave for Jakarta at eight in the morning. Condition to stay safe."

"Good boss."
