Merely Protector

Chapters 1. Man Stranded

Question "When is marriage?" it has always been a scourge for teenagers who hold the status of a single, as well as Silvi Anastasya. He just turned 21 years old. It was sad, but the question was ignored. The woman is only confident and faithful waiting in silence someone who is believed to come to her.

To entertain herself, Silvi entered the forest. Another goal is to find firewood to show devotion to parents. He sped his feet agilely over the bush-filled footpaths on the right and left. His steps came to a halt just below the large tree with wood strewn around it.

"What's that?" Silvi squinted her eyes, noticing the figure among the thickets.

Silvi's eyes instantly widened, the body felt trembling as he saw it clearly. Without saying a single word, he immediately ran away from the place.

The figure of the man clad in a black suit and matching pants was clearly imprinted in memory. Red stains smear some parts of the body. Last night's rain camouflaged the pattern, bringing it soaking into the ground. It looks very tragic the situation of this figure.

Not far from there, Silvi finally saw the old man who was looking for wood. He immediately approached the man to report his findings.

"P-sir, help!" Silvi's voice trembled, painting a feeling of fear.

"Why, Silvi?" ask the man. He frowned because he saw the strange attitude of the girl before him.

Silvi did not answer the man's question. The mind blocks the word from coming out of the mouth. A few times the lips moved, but nothing was heard clearly. He just kept pointing towards the forest.

Silvi tried to regulate the air going in and out through her nose, but it was still clearly frightened on her face. The body keeps shaking, unable to hide the feeling. The mind cannot focus, flying with the horror in the eyes.

"Pa-pak, there's a corpse in the forest" Silvi replied. His voice was flattened, suspended by air that sometimes refused to enter the lungs.

The first experience for Silvi was seeing such a thing. It was only natural that he was so scared. Fortunately, his consciousness was still awake after witnessing the horror.

"Try to say quietly." The man frowned more and more. He did not understand what Silvi meant.

Silvi filled both of his lungs. When it felt tight, he slowly began to empty it. Several times the woman did it to catch her breath while explaining.

The old man fell silent as Silvi explained her sentence earlier. Not in disbelief, but he was just confused. There was never a story of a corpse found in the village. But it really happened this time.

The momentary silence made Silvi restless. The man before him did not respond, trust as if at stake. But he still has to prove the truth.

"Come, sir, we're going there." Silvi grabbed the man's hand.

"Wait on! Let's take the other people there."

Together with some residents and his father, Silvi entered the forest. Their wide steps slashed through the bush all the way. Some people whispered to each other, doubting the story until they finally found the truth itself. A young man immediately approached the man lying on the ground.

"We take it to the village" one resident suggested.

"Wait first! I think he's alive." The young man observed a thin movement in the sprawling man's chest.

Not everyone understands rescue procedures. Mistakes moving the victim's body a little can be fatal. If there is a broken bone, it could scratch the nerve next to it. This can lead to more serious bleeding.

"Hurry up and call 112! Make the others a little step aside, give this person space to breathe" said the young man.

After thirty minutes passed, several people in orange uniforms with a stretcher came. Among them was a man in blue clothes carrying a white box. He immediately knelt next to the victim for treatment.

"Thank him be careful!" the nurse's orders. He has confirmed that the victim's body is safe.

After going through such a difficult terrain, they finally reached the village. The victim was immediately raised on the ambulance followed by Silvi. He felt responsible for having found the man. His father eventually accompanied him.

The journey to the local hospital does not take long. The victim was immediately taken to the IGD red zone. Meanwhile, Silvi did the registration.

"I don't know his name, sir. Write aja Bambang," said Silvi. This made the registration officer shake his head.

The identity of the victim is not known, the officer finally immediately filled out the data according to the SOP in order to carry out the next handling. Do not forget also he asked the condition of the patient when it was found to be appropriate in taking action. After everything was complete, the officer gave the paper to sign.

Without hesitation Silvi grabbed the paper, then etched a signature on it. He just wanted the man to get intensive care.

The victim was taken to the ICU for further examination. The final result was obtained, the doctor told that the patient had a broken leg bone and had to be operated on.

"How, Sir?" Silvi looked at the father with doubtful eyes. Whether they should sign means taking responsibility for the operation.

The two discussed finding the best way. For the sake of humanity, an agreement was reached. Silvi goes to the nurse to approve her next move. He will try in any way to get the fee.

The operation is carried out after the approval letter is signed. After almost a full day, the action finished smoothly. The patient is taken back to the ICU for further treatment.

Silvi is still faithfully waiting for the patient next to the gurney, while the father has returned home to prepare everything. After all, the man also had to meet his wife and work.

"When did he realize?" Silvi stared at the innocent face that was being closed. "Udah was almost two days from the first time I met him, but I didn't wake up yet."

Silvi propped up her chin, looking over the details of the handsome face in front of her. What a perfect painting he had seen and was able to calm the heart to sleep. It may also be due to a feeling of tiredness.

Only a moment later fell asleep, Silvi was startled with something creeping in her hands. He opened his eyes, saw what was coming. His eyes opened wide when he saw the hand of the man he was guarding showing movement.

"You're sober?"

A happy smile seemed to expand on Silvi's tangled face. A few moments later, however, he lowered his head. He tried to calm himself. If you say he is embarrassed, it is only natural that there is a handsome man who has been staring at him since. How can this woman behave normally?

"A-i'm Silvi. You who?" The woman tried to melt the atmosphere. He didn't want to be in that state for too long.

The man shook his head, fetching his consciousness back. He felt confused why he was in that place with various tools attached to his body.

"I ... Gnarly."

Silvi smiled happily as the man was already able to answer her question. This indicates that Angga is well aware.

"Where do you live?"

Angga frowned after hearing Silvi's question. He doesn't know what to answer. All memories are empty, there is only the color of ashes.

Seriate.
