64. A wait

Marinka was trembling at the arrival of Mr. Andrew. Little did he hear about Mr. Andrew's crimes.

"I'm glad you're in the same place. So I won't bother looking for you guys". Said Mr. Andrew.

"Sir, please let them go, I'm all you want. I'll give you all the evidence. But please let them all three go". Please Arina.

"It's not that easy, Arina. You know, I've been looking forward to this for years. I want to see this boy with his father". Said Mr. Andrew with a hardened jaw.

Mr. Andrew pulled something out from behind his suit. Then he pointed it at Marinka. Sontak Marinka tried to block her protruding stomach with both hands.

"No, please don't hurt my son. I have long been waiting for their presence. If you want my life, you can take it after my son is born ". Marinka's getting scared.

" You're crazy! Don't stupid. You're joking with the wrong guy Marinka". Shouted Marvin.

"I want you all to heal my old wounds. You know, your mom and I used to love each other. But your father's family screwed things up. They betrothed your mom and dad and then ignored me because I wasn't their equal. And you were born into the world with no self-knowledge. You killed your own mother". Mr. Andrew's voice trembled withstanding the sorrow that looked stifling to him.

"we plan to get married after you're born. But your birth brought disaster for us. You buried all my dreams".

"Nobody wants this to happen. If I could choose, I wouldn't lose my mother Uncle". Marinka's getting sobbing.

"And him, that man. The man who was your husband, he should have been part of my plan. But again your father and his best friend messed it all up". He was angry at Marvin.

"Give up all Uncle, I call you uncle because I love you. I respectyou". Marvin said sincerely.

"Shut your mouth. If you want to divorce that woman, then I'll forget everything. Leave Mike's company and join me".

"Never, not even the life of the stakes". Marvin said.

"If you insist on not letting go of Marinka, then don't blame me if I make you regret it. You've been quiet for a long time. But it turns out it doesn't make you think". Leo was getting angry.

"Let's see who's gonna end first".

Mr. Andrew slowly pulled the trigger from his weapon. And in a matter of seconds suddenly...

Dorrr...

"Maraomi!".

"Arena!".

Marvin and Leo shouted at the same time knowing Mr. Andrew had actually fired a shot at Marinka.

Marvin and Leo did the same. Marvin pulled out his weapon neatly stored on his waist. It felt like he wanted to finish off the old man as well Jimy.

Doorrs..... Doorrs.....

*********

The hospital action room in the city center looked crowded. They were surprised by the arrival of a pregnant woman who was injured in the arm. And a young woman who was injured on her back and her waist.

She is Marinka and Arina. Arina gets two gunshot wounds trying to save Marinka. And after that they were both unconscious.

While Marinka is struggling at the operating table. The doctor tried to remove the bullet as well as the child who was in the womb.

"How are they doing?". Mr. Mike came with his worried face. Meet Marvin and Leo who are both bowed in front of the operating room.

"the Marinka bullet has been successfully ejected and nothing serious. But the baby has to be removed immediately. It is time for uncle. I'm so scared that something will happen to Marinka or my son". Marvin was desperate.

"You calm down, we can only pray. What about Arina?". Ask Mr. Mike to Leo. Leo was equally desperate, especially the wound is also quite severe. Arina also got a puncture wound on her waist. Also two gunshot wounds.

" The doctor took out a bullet. Fortunately his puncture wound did not hit his vital organs. But he's not human either". Leo said.

Some people may think Arina is evil. But he's just doing his part. She's a poor good girl. That's what Leo got from Arina's personality. He's not as bad as others accuse him.

Without tears Leo shed. Remembering the piece of events that was in front of his eyes. How Arina painstakingly protected Marinka from the gunfire and stabbing.

"If I wasn't around, at least I would have tried to apologize to Marinka. Maybe it's a punishment for me ".

That was the last word Marinka said to Leo before she was unconscious.

" He didn't really want to take you from Marinka. He's just being threatened". Said Leo with a blank look.

"I know, don't think about it. Arina is a strong woman. Two will recover soon". Marvin tried to cheer up his best friend.

"What about Andrew and Uncle Jimy?". Ask Marvin.

"the police have secured them. Don't think about it. They will get a good reply".

Marvin remembered that he had shot the man in the chest. But it turns out he can still live. And Jimy, that guy Leo also killed blindly.

His face was shapeless as Leo repeatedly lashed out deadly blows. And Leo is satisfied with that. He wanted to kill Jimy but he also had to think sanely. He doesn't want to deal with the police and make matters more complicated.

There is something inside Arina that Leo does not get from every woman close to him. He gets comfort every close to Arina. Leo repeatedly expressed his intention to marry Arina. But Arina always refused.

Leo just wants to free Arina from all the charges that people lay against her. Heinous allegations of being a domestic bully of Marvin and Marinka.

Not without reason Arina refused it. Who would accept him to be a son-in-law? Wherever no one knows. She's just a girl who was raised in a change.

If Leo really likes Arina, Arina will be very grateful. But what about Miss Merry? Arina doesn't want to be the reason Leo stayed away from her family. Although Arina actually likes Leo, but Arina does not want to be selfish.

Let her feelings be only she knows. Let only Arina hold admiration for leo.

"I'm not the right woman for you. We are so much different. You can get a much better woman. Who can stand by you in the middle of your family. I am far from all that perfection".

That was the last word Arina said to Leo. The umpteenth rejection. Leo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Given Arina's current condition made her cramped. All the pieces of memories ran in his head. Short but effective.

Can she see Arina's sweet smile back?
