"We just pray that God will save us" said Mei slowly.
"Don't do that, Mei, I don't want to die here. Dong Mei's effort, effort! You're my Bodyguard!" rutuk Tama is upset.
With her eyes twitching, Mei brought their faces closer. "Bodyguard is also a human, not an angel! There's also something he can't do!" said furious.
Just by relying on the light from his phone, the young man could see Mei's sinister face as she was enraged. The young man even had to rewind his head because he was so haunted. "Eh, May. That's not what I mean ... uh, you don't want us to die here, do you?" Tama tried to laugh to melt the atmosphere even though it sounded strange. "May, I beg you. Don't scare me." He put his hand together.
Mei lowered her eyes. "What's important now, we need to calm down."
"Then?"
Mei turned towards the inside of the container. Darkened. "We check first, what's going on here."
"Eh, May. You just." Tama gave her phone to the girl for a flashlight replacement.
Mei had just stepped her feet inward, Tama began to ask again. "Are you sure?"
"What?"
"Nothing weird?" Tama approaching.
Mei closed her eyes while sighing. He opened his eyes again. "Eh, there's rats, rats, rats!" He jumps.
The frightened Tama jumped up and clung tightly to Mei's arm. "Eh, where, where, where ... May please!"
Mei patted the young man on the shoulder. "What hell! Really scared. So man, bravery little napa." harden it.
"May, you mah, not nolongin even nakutin," Tama again scowled.
"Oh, yes sorry. Oh, oh yes ...." Mei touches the young man's chin, but Tama brushes him off.
"You are, huh? I'm really afraid to know!" Tama immediately crammed.
"Yes sorry." The girl sighed and started to get serious. "So first we'll check what's going on here." Mei started to step in to check the contents of the container.
Tama while holding the back end of the girl's shirt, she followed. Mei checked meticulously towards the ceiling and floor of the container as a whole. They had walked to the end but found nothing. The container was completely empty.
"Why are they keeping us here?" Mei looks confused.
"Where do I know."
"But this is a truck." Mei frowned.
"Yes, I know. Don't tell me I know either."
"That means they want to send us somewhere."
"Eh, where to?"
"Not knowing."
"Eh, May!" Tama was scared again.
"I really don't know. I was just wondering" Mei told me.
Tama grunted her breath violently and went back to frowning.
Outside, a man in simple clothes came near the truck.
"Pak Gani, it's been a long time" the secretary complained.
The man scratched his head. "Sorry Mom, it's stuck."
The woman simply pulled her lips so as not to look upset. "This is the key." He gave the keys to the truck to the man in front of him. "And this, I am kind enough to buy you provisions on the street." He gave me a packet of rice boxes.
"Oh, thank you, Mom." Gani accepted it with pleasure. "Mother is so nice. Oh, yes, the road letter, ma'am."
"Oh .. This." The secretary took out a folded piece of paper from her suit pocket and gave it to the man. "If there is noise, let it go. Do not open because the contents are only goats in large quantities, so be careful driving do not get bumped."
"Yes, good Mom." Gani nodded politely.
"Yes, we're leaving immediately." The woman entered the building with the two men who were with her. Arriving inside the building he called. "Hello, it's done, sir. I also took care of the driver."
"Good, we wait for the result" said a man at the other end.
Mei and Tama don't listen. They can hear sounds outside but not clearly. His voice was so small that they had trouble hearing.
The two of them were sitting on the floor of a container made of iron, having difficulty hearing even though they had sharpened their ears. Suddenly the car moves and back Tama grabs Mei's arm in confusion. "May, where are we going?"
"Don't know Brother."
Tama sees the girl's face in the light of the lights from her phone, Mei looks mediocre. "Why don't you have to fear Mei, in such a precarious situation?"
"Our life and death are in God's hands."
"Yes but, what if we do?"
"If God does not allow it to happen, brother, we must pray."
"Well, can prayer change?"
"Can."
"Mmh?"
Mei smile. "Nothing is impossible when God wills."
"Everything has been written about how we live. Birth, soul mate and death long before we are born so leave everything to the one above."
"Means we give up dong! We can't give up!" tama is fierce.
Mei smiled back. "That's why don't be afraid, so we can think clearly."
"People are afraid, where can the thought get to it," Tama still nagged.
"Mc ...."
"What?"
"I'm thinking."
"Yes ...." Tama started to stop talking. He looked at Mei's serious face. In the darkness of the container room, he could see the face of the girl clingy. A girl who will fight for her life and death, a spoiled man who is selfish. He never thought his life would depend on a very young girl where it should be a man who had to fight for a woman.
Tama secretly salutes Mei's bravery that fights for her sake, also always there when she needs to be, a good friend and sometimes he also feels Mei could be the parent side that reminds him of his parents who are now out of nowhere.
Mei is also very independent, living alone in the middle of her family which is certainly very lonely but Tama never heard her complain. He must have kept everything in his heart alone like the pain of his parents he had told Tama before. The young man promised in his heart that if he could survive today, he would take Mei to visit her parents in the hospital.
"Mmh Brother, how about we fall?"
"What's? May!!!"
Meanwhile, Delia, Tama's Secretary tells Tama's driver to go home because her Boss has to go elsewhere and in another vehicle. The driver finally came home without an office car.

Zack comes to Reina, his mother at the flower shop and is escorted by one of the house guards on a motorbike.
"Zack, are you home?"
"Since then was Ma," said the Caucasian youth who was more handsome even though frowning.
"What the hell is it, how come your child is so pouting? It's ugly to see." Reina rubbed the head of Zack who came to her.
Zack sits next to Reina, who stops her flower arrangement for Zack's sake. The woman tried to listen to her son's complaints.
"Ma, when are we going to America?"
Reina laughed and hugged Zack. "Have you missed Lydia, mmh?"
"Even, deserted Ma."
"Mama too."
Zack looked up at his mother. There was a clear grain in the corner of the woman's eye who raised it. He could not believe what he was saying, had placed the same longing in the heart of the most tender woman he had ever known. Heart of a Reina. "Mama, sorry."
"It's okay." Reina rubbed the corner of her eyes with origin. "We should know, Lydia went for her good. Those of us who are left behind must live better. We should be happy for his happiness. Life is always coming and going. We cannot resist those who want to leave as well as we cannot resist those who are to come. You have to be strong and be an independent man without Lydia. You should be able to find your new life as well as Mama who also feels the loss of Mama's little girl. After all, he's not gone forever. One day we will meet again in our lives that may have been different, but that's okay. That's how if you want to become an adult, meet many lives that will inspire you to become someone different. So, we have to learn to accept those comings and goings with a big heart huh?"
Zack remained silent. He just didn't want to see his mother cry. She hugged Reina.

The truck was parked in a rest area.
Haaah, it's nice that the Secretary Director gave me lunch. Looks delicious and expensive. The man opened the contents of his prepared rice box along with a bottle of mineral water.
Mei and Tama who were sitting on the empty container floor were surprised, when the car seemed to come to a new place because it swayed a little and then stopped. They sharpen their ears.
"Are we coming to our shelter?" tanya Tama was worried.
"Not knowing, Brother."
"May, will you help me, May?" Tama clasped the girl's arm, asking for protection.
"We'll see first, brother?" Mei brushed off Tama's hand slowly.
Mei saw her shoes which were high-heeled. Are these shoes useful in an emergency like this? He also stands.
The girl immediately stepped to the door. The shoes are actually quite noisy when walking on the floor of the container which is also made of iron but still, it is, it did not help to make the driver hear that there was something suspicious in the container he was carrying.
Mei tries to find a spot on the door in order to peek out. He pushed the door until light came in from a blemish. From there Mei peeked out.
He saw a large area on the side of the road. It's getting dark outside. There were not many cars passing in the area and it seemed like their trucks had entered the area outside the city, but why did their cars stop there? Maybe the driver is resting.
Mei then approached Tama who was still holding her phone with the lights still on. "It looks like the driver is taking a break. How about we try to get his attention?"
"How?"
"We hit the part of the container close to him, hopefully he hears and helps us."
"Are you sure he's a good man?"
"I don't know but we'll try."
Tama got up and together with Mei they came to the wall of the container at the other end.
"Please .. please ...," cried Tama. He helped Mei smash through the walls of the container with all her strength.
