Elsewhere.

The rain is getting heavier, the dark is getting thicker, the visibility starts to be limited due to the absence of lighting at all. Danira continues to pull Gavino into the forest, without knowing the direction and destination. To be sure she had to take her husband away as quickly as possible, avoiding the pursuit of the criminals. Danira no longer care about the dark forest, he was no longer afraid if there are wild animals or other venomous animals that confront them.

" Well, you hold on. I beg you ". Danira said to embrace gavino. Gavino, whose strength is getting weaker, can only stay still, trying to keep up with Danira's footsteps. Although Gavino was no longer able to, but he continued to try to move his legs to run. But because he continued to run, making Danira did not see if there was a large enough wood in front of him, and......

BRUK**

They both tripped, Gavino fell on his face, he was eager to get up and stand, but his body was very limp with no energy.

" .....!!" Danira screams in pain in her hands and knees, then looks for the whereabouts of her husband who went into the bushes.

" Gavino, O God. Forgive Danira ". She tried to lift her husband's body. Danira is very troubled, because the body of a large and stocky gavino, making Danira difficult to lift the body of the gavino to stand. Many times they fell, but Danira never gave up. She kept trying to get her husband out of there, she wouldn't let those people kill her husband.

" Bismillah.ayo mas wake up, mas definitely can". Danira said, Gavino remained silent. He really did not have the energy, even if only to answer one word. The rain that soaked their bodies did not make Danira give up, although interspersed with tears, she re-hugged the body of Gavino and re-raised the large body. But suddenly Danira heard the sound of footsteps getting closer towards them, Danira started to panic. He was afraid that the criminals who were chasing them had found their existence. Danira pulls Gavino into a very large tree, Danira rests her husband's body on the tree and holds Gavino's arm tightly.

Lord, please protect and save us. Only with your help and your power can we survive from here . Inner Danira prayed, she really gave everything to the calic.

" How did you find them ?". A criminal asked his partner from behind the tree Danira shut his mouth, holding his breath. He was very afraid when the criminals found them. Their distance was only that big tree.

" Yes you are absolutely right, what else this part of the forest is also famous for its awesomeness.iihhh...seram, I do not want to be a prisoner of these forest dwellers.

" Let's just go back, just tell the chairman, if they both die falling into the abyss at the end there" the villain proposed to his partner.

" Yes, that's a good idea. So that we avoid the tantrums of big bosses ". The two of them also went running fast, because their hair had been goosebumps, imagining the forest dwellers appear before them. Danira let out a sigh of relief, heard the second step the criminal slowly moved away, and disappeared.

" Thank God, thank you Lord ". Thank goodness Danira.

" Come on, we have to get out of here ". Danira said, again helping to lift the body of Gavino, but....

" Uhukkk..." Gavino again spewed fresh blood from his mouth, Danira can smell the scent of blood. Danira came back crying, seeing her husband's condition. He kept trying to take Gavino on a slow walk, down the dense and dark forest.

" I beg you to be patient and endure ". Danira said in a quivering voice, they had walked for almost 20 minutes, but they had not found a way out. Gavino kept trying to gather his consciousness, he should not faint at this time, pity Danira. Danira stopped his steps, then lifted his burkan to look at something in front, then closed it again.

" Mad, it seems that in front there is a place for us to take shelter for a while. Come ". Danira's words brought back the weakened Gavino. They had arrived in front of the Shelter that Danira saw, Shelter made of wood as a refractory material/pole and leaves as the roof, walls and floors, and, the shape is not too high but enough for a temporary resting place. Looks like this is a Shelter belonging to someone who's been here, which means this place is safe Danira thought.

Danira puts Gavino in, then lays him down.

" Mad for a while we rest here first yes, because the rain is getting heavier and the night is getting darker. At least until we can see a way out of here ". Danira said, Gavino remained silent, she just closed her eyes. Danira felt her wet body, but her hand accidentally touched something behind her long hajab. He pulled it forward, and how grateful Danira was. it turned out that his sling bag was still on his body, he thought his bag was left in Gavino's car. Fortunately the bag was made of leather, so it was impenetrable by rainwater.

Danira starts barking at her bag and pulls out her phone, she wants to call Sarah, but it looks like Danira has to be patient again, because her phone is not getting any signal at all. He took the other phone, but the result was the same, no signal.

"Oh my God, how can I ask for help in this way". Danira muttered, confused. Danira blames the flashlight on her phone, then points it at her husband's face. How surprised Danira, when she saw the face of her husband who was full of wounds, bruised and pale. Danira cries again, let alone see her husband's shirt filled with blood, plus a gunshot wound on Gavino's right arm. Danira is getting sad and feeling guilty. Danira blames another flashlight on her phone, then tuck the wall of leaves, to make things inside the Shelter get lighting. Danira picked up the wet tissue in her bag, began to clean the traces of blood on her husband's face, crying and saying an apology many times.

Flashback.

" I've forgiven Gavino, stay alive and thank you for trying to protect me". Danira said as she hugged Gavino tightly.

DORR**

Hearing the sound of gunshots directed towards them, Gavino gathered the remnants of his strength, then quickly twisted his body, until the shot hit the arm of Gavino's right hand.

" Aagghhh....." Gavino groaned in pain, feeling the hot lead had lodged in his arms, Danira turned her eyes away. Feeling the fresh blood coming out from the other side of her husband's body. Gavino is getting weaker, her body is starting to go limp, she will soon fall to the ground, but again Danira restrains with all her husband's strength.

" NO..mas, mas Gavino. Oh God, please don't do this ". Danira's cry broke again.he cried so badly, he interrupted to see all the criminals who were laughing out loud, mocking them.

" Why are you doing this, what do you want huh ?". Shouted Danira who was filled with anger.

"HAS..HA..HA...!, I have said no, obey if you want him to survive, but what you do ". Said the gang head, laughing mockingly.

" li....!! you said if I followed your men away, then you wouldn't kill him. But in fact, your men even fired guns at my husband ". Shouted Danira emotion, with a trembling voice.

" It was not by my command, and not from my men. I don't know who did it. But obviously this would be great news, if the world knew, if this arrogant and arrogant Business King died in such a terrible state. HA..HA..HA "'S ". He said again, happy.

" All of you are utterly ignorant, are you not afraid of sin. Remember, God will avenge every pain my husband has received for your actions ". Danira said, all the men just exchanged lyrics, then they returned to laugh at Danira's words.

" We don't care, it's business later when it's dead. Anyway look now, even your god didn't send you help instead of ". Cynical gang leader, then he signaled to his men to drag Danira. Suddenly, they heard gunshots...

DOR**

The criminals began to look for where the gunfire came from, they were surprised to see a group of men in black clothes running towards them with firearms in their hands.

" Take Miss Danira off ". Said one of them, pointing a firearm at the head of the gang. The chief smiled obliquely looking at that.

" If we don't want to, what do you want ?".

" Fuck, attack them and save Miss....!!!". Shouted one of Danira's guards. The situation was getting heated, the sound of gunfire was mutual, seeing everyone was busy fighting. Danira took this opportunity, to take her husband away.

" Mas...mas Gavin can still wake up, right ?". Danira asked whispering, Gavino just kept quiet, her consciousness would disappear. " She, I beg you to hold on a little while longer, we're out of here huh ". Whisper Danira again, and this time Gavino only answered with a nod of his head, weak. Slowly Danira helps her husband stand up, then they sneak among the men who are fighting. Quickly, Danira invites Gavino to run, to enter the forest.

" Sir...!!! they escaped ". Shouted a criminal to the Guild Leader, hearing the words of his men made the gang leader even more angry.

" Dolent, hurry up and catch them both ". He said, full of anger.

Flashback.
