Arana had no idea how long she had been walking. His feet hurt, and his head throbbed from the whack of dizziness. His eyes try to focus ahead. Her breathing was heavy, and Arana was occasionally seen wiping the sweat dripping from her temples.
It felt really exhausting, and somewhere he was walking now.
The sun was already heading west quickly, maybe Arana had walked for half a day more. His hungry stomach might be hampered by a bar of chocolate that he has in his bag, his thirst can be slightly treated by the water he keeps. But his fatigue could not be removed with rest, for if he rested, the darkening sky would be dangerous for him. Moreover, the phone is dead and cannot be used as a lighting tool. Arana really hopes to find help soon.
"Father, is the path that Rana took right?" Inner, praying.
He looked around, and not long heard the faint sounds coming from behind the lush bamboo forest.
Arana widened her eyes, looking for directions to the source of the sound, feeling certain that there was the sound of a child laughing heard there. Arana did not hesitate, down the bamboo tree, until she finally found a path. Arana's shoulder felt weak, and the heavy weight on her shoulder seemed to lift. He ignored his sore feet, running down ever-cleaner and cleaner paths every step of the way. Passing through the bamboo forest, passing through the palm forest, before his steps stopped. His breathing roared, and his chest rose up and down, trying to calm his lungs that were trying to absorb the air with all his might.
His pair of manics were fixated on looking at that small mountain village. And without realizing it, Arana had been resting on the ground and shed tears without blinking.
He thought he was going to die.
...***...
In her apartment building, Alva walks back and forth while trying to contact Arana. Although her phone is dead, Alva hopes that the girl's phone will be on, so Alva can track her device.
Sitting on a sofa, a young teenager was sitting facing a double-sailing laptop, which somehow gave rise to what data and footage was inside. The pair of blue beads looked at the screen with focus, and the fingers danced on the keyboard.
Alva asked in a cold voice. "How's it?"
"Not yet." Only a slow mutter was delivered by the teenager, making Alva's hands clenched firmly, impatiently.
Erlan beside the teenager also seemed to be focused on her phone, and for some time exchanging messages with someone, she turned her head. "Boss, J has already managed to find that person. J said that he was found in a bar and was partying with many people. J was about to deal with the bar party, yet he had already dealt with it. The man has been taken to a normal place."
Alva's bead was full of bad emotions, and if the eyes could kill, thousands could be killed at once with just the look of his eyes. Alva opened her lips slowly. "Tell J and R to play with him for a bit. And ask Angga to keep him conscious during their game. I don't want to know if J and R are crazy, as long as they make him choose to die rather than live."
Erlan nodded her head. "Good, boss."
Alva was trying to get Arana back when someone first called her. Her bead looked at her phone screen in shock, and her hand immediately picked up the phone call.
"Darling! Where're you? Are you all right?" Ask as soon as the call is connected. His voice made Erlan and the teenager look at him.
[ ... I .. course ... no .. don't worry about me .. I .. ]
Nothing is clear from his disjointed words. Alva frowned, and by trying to calm her feelings she asked again. "Darling, where are you? I can't understand where you are now?"
[ .. The al? Ha .. lo .. lo? ]
Tut .. Tut .. Tut
The call just ended. Alva quickly tries to contact Arana, but Arana's number is turned off. Alva turned to the teenager and immediately handed her phone to him. "Cal, track the phone immediately!"
"I found him boss!"
Alva said, "Send to Erlan. Lan, get the car ready, we'll be there right now."
Erlan nodded her head. Despite not answering, he firmly contacted someone after Calvian within a second sent him the address in question. "The car is ready boss, we can leave now."
Alva rose to his feet, along with Erlan and Calvian, the three of them descended towards the basement. There were three neatly parked cars, a luxurious black Roll-Royce and two equally luxurious cars beside it. The three entered the car at the front, and together the three cars drove to where Arana is currently.
...***...
"How, brother? Can it?"
The question came from the lips of a tan-skinned teenage girl. He wore a woven cloth wrapped around his body, displaying parts of his arms and legs. His clear round eyes sparkled under the light, and Arana could not help but think that her eyes were beautiful. Just like a child's plain, pure and honest eyes.
Arana should feel grateful that when she almost fainted exhausted, she found this village. When they saw Arana with her apprehensive appearance, they immediately flocked to help her and help her. Put him in this warm little house, then take care of his wounds.
This village is on the edge of a highway that is actually almost like a dead road. Because this road was never used after the toll road that cut the forest, people prefer to use the highway, rather than have to use this road, he said, they can travel longer and longer distances. After all, the end of this road is towards the beach, and very rarely people who come to the beach.
Arana smiled weakly and shook her head. "It can, but my voice is disjointed. Then, the signal completely disappeared."
"The signal here is really bad! No problem, brother! After the uncle returns, the uncle will drive the brother to the city in his transport car, and the brother can contact the brother's family there." Entertain the girl.
The woman who delivered the porridge to Arana heard her daughter's words and nodded. "really so. No need to worry, son. The village leader will be back in the morning, and I will ask him to take you back to the city. Here, eat while it's hot."
Arana smiled, nodded her head, feeling grateful for the kindness of the people in the village. "Thank you very much."
"No need to worry, eat." Friendly to the woman.
Arana looked at the bowl of white porridge with chives and a piece of egg on it. The warm bottom of the bowl also warms his heart. The world is hard, full of selfish and selfish people. But that doesn't mean that none of them are angels. Those who sometimes seem like they don't care can even be the ones who care about you the most.
Arana silently spooned the porridge into her mouth at a stagnant pace, enjoying it while being grateful in her heart.
In fact, there are still many good people in the world who seem to oppose its existence.
A few minutes later, Arana finished eating. Arana and the woman seemed to be chatting, throwing questions and answers to each other that made the atmosphere comfortable and harmonious. Arana warmly smiled at the smile that made the woman contract a smile, the same is the case with the daughter of the woman who lay on her stomach near Arana while busy listening to the conversation Arana and some mothers who deliberately came to see Arana.
"Mother! Something's coming here!"
"What's that?"
Hearing the noise outside, the other mothers and the owner of the house stared at each other in confusion. The woman stood up, stepped out and put on a dumbfounded face the moment she opened the door. It intrigued Arana, so she quickly caught up with the woman, before finding something surprising, as did the other mothers.
