My Choice of Woman

Episode 50's

“Find the girl soon!” said the man across there.

“Good Boss!” replied the burly man who brought the phone to his ear.

The burly man hung up his phone.

“We have a task from the big boss. We have to find the red hooded girl who is in the newly built tavern of Numa City Center,” said the burly man.

Farah took shelter at the bus stop in Numa City, she did not know where to take shelter. He wanted to cry, spilling everything like this hail. Now Farah doesn't know what she's feeling, cold? Disappointed? getting sick? Everything mixed into one.

He looked at this not-so-dense hail. Freeze. Chilly. Silent. Suddenly Farah cried, she hoped this pain and disappointment would pass quickly.

Suddenly the car stopped right in front of the stop where Farah was taking shelter. He was wary of the three men who had just got out of the car.

***

“I hope you'll be found soon. I've sent people to find you in Numa City. Hopefully you are okay,” Ray who is still driving the car at high speed.

Ray had already arrived in Numa City, but there was still a lot of distance he had to travel to meet Farah.

“Hopefully my men can find Farah.” Ray was anxious.

Numa City has been drenched in rain, this makes Ray more agitated.

Ray had arrived at Ilham's new tavern, he was looking for Farah, but the tavern said that the lady in question Ray had left the tavern.

Ray goes down the road that Farah may have traveled, until Ray turns to the woman who is being forced into by three burly men.

Ray sharpened his eyes, he knew the three men were the ones Ray told to look for Farah. It seems that Farah misunderstood, she assumed the three men who looked like thugs would do evil.

Ray smiled cunningly. “I'll take this chance.”

Ray has another plan.

***

“I don't want to come with you! I don't know you guys!” Farah cried out sternly, she did not want to be forced by these three men.

“Do not talk much! Come along, because our boss wants to meet you!” said one of the burly men.

“I don't want to!” Farah was still rebelling. But Farah's energy was far less than the three men.

The scene really presents scenes like kidnapping. Ray was still silent at the sight, he was still waiting for the right time.

Because of Farah's rebellion, one of the thugs-like men slightly pulled the veil cloth against Farah until it was torn. Immediately Farah cried and roared. He was very afraid that the three men would do anything.

Ray came with confidence. “How dare you guys touch this woman!” ray's voice was rising.

Farah was crying. He felt very rash, why did he come to this city alone.

Ray slightly sent the code between his eyes to the three men. Then he acts like the hero who saved Farah. The beating begins. Ray is up against three people, obviously Ray is outnumbered, accidentally one of the men hits right on Ray's temples and right cheek.

Ray fell for the blow.

Why are you hitting me so hard!

He now threw a fist at one of the burly men. Successfully one of the burly men like a thug. Finally Ray blinked his eyes a sign to stop this ‘sandiwara’.

The three burly men who looked like thugs left behind Ray and Farah. Farah's condition was alarming, he was still sitting hugging his knee. The cloth hood he used was torn on the edge.

“You all right?” asked Ray who was crouching looking at Farah's frightened condition.

Farah shook her head, she saw the blood flowing consciously at the corner of Ray's lips and the punched wounds on Ray's cheeks and temples, Farah crying.

“Do not worry about my injuries,” Ray smiled even though he actually felt pain.

Those brash thugs, they really beat me up!

Ray snorted in annoyance.

Ray takes off his suit and wears it to Farah, knowing that Farah is a little cold because of this rain.

“Thank you for helping me, because of me, you get hurt like this,” said Farah.

Ray smiled indicating that he was okay.

“Now come with me, we will find a place to take shelter from this storm,” take Ray.

Farah got up from her position, she felt that Ray could protect her in Numa City.

“Ray, I want to ask to sit in the back can?” asked Farah hesitatingly.

Farah just wanted to take care of herself, it was inappropriate for her to sit next to Ray.

What's?! I didn't hear wrong?! He wants to make me a driver? But that's okay, the important thing is that he wants to come with me.

Ray opens the back door of his car, as Farah wishes.

Farah got in that car. He grabbed Ray's oversized coat to cover his torn veil at the back.

Ray then drove his car to his favorite place in Numa City, a bookstore adjacent to the tourist forest of Numa City.

Ray had to hurry, the rain was getting heavier, dropping the ice grains more often fell.

Ilham still sits in one of the coffee shops in the eastern Zen City area. He chose a table close to the window.

Zen City had been wrapped in drizzle since this afternoon. Inspiration looked at the overcast sky. He remembered Farah who liked to play in the rain like a child.

Suddenly there was a sting centered from his left chest. He held his left chest. He had felt the sting twice. Inspiration feels something is wrong with something.

Logic led Inspiration to the question ‘how are you now?’

Ilham immediately took the phone from his pants pocket. He then looked for Farah's number, he wanted to ask her 4 days.

Suddenly the finger of Inspiration stopped. He can't call Farah now. Ilham did not want Farah to know that he was in Zen City.

Ilham put his phone back.

Once again, the ego to find Anneline wins over her logic.
