The view is not very clear, is the sensation felt by a man in a room, only accompanied by loneliness and illumination from a single lamp without windows and air pentillation, the man looked down with a flat face. Never suspected by himself, life that was originally normal is now erased by the previous actions He did, although there is a sense of regret in his heart, but if it is like this how else?, what else?, the only thing he could do right now was obey, obey someone he had to trust even if he didn't know that person would betray him or not.
While still lamenting the mistake, three people came inside who made the man's focus move on them, judging by the way the three were dressed, it was possible that these were new people who would interrogate him.
“ Good afternoon, Mr. Rio.. Introduce my name Jordan, the man who will be the father's introductory for the future “ Said the man who is known as Jordan, the father of Vanesa.
Staring sharply at Jordan's eyes, the man previously called Rio looked down after a few seconds to catch the two people who were side by side with Jordan, who else if not Bayu and Panji.
“ I think you are a bit difficult to compromise, do I need to bribe you to open your mouth? “ Said Jordan in a tone filled with intimidation.
“ Hah?.. emang lo want to pay how much anyway?, you rich man, Free... cave is not interested in your money “ said Rio demeaning.
Surprised by the reaction of this man in a tied position, Jordan, Bayu and Panji stared at each other before Panji who was then opening his voice.
“ How many do you say?, if necessary, I'll give you 100 million in return if you want to reveal who is behind all this, I'll give you 100 million in return, more precisely who is the person who told you to make a confession about it “ Panji said pointing the direction of the conversation to the incident of Hasby and Vanesa who fell into the river.
“ Until any time, you want to pay any gau, sorry... it is better for the cave to die than to have leaking everything “.
Panji and Jordan stared at each other silently, although they had expected that extracting information from this person would be quite difficult, but seeing from his stubborn reaction and whistling loudly, he said, they believe that something is wrong with the current situation. In the dark world of merchants and the black world, though there are those who will be faithful and even willing to die for their leader, but still they would open their mouths if faced with infinite money. But unlike the situation with Rio, even though he had previously received acts of violence and tempting offers, but still his mouth was tightly closed.
Shut up for some time, Bayu who had been silencing his mouth now thought of something and came up with an idea that he guaranteed could make Rio open his mouth.
“ Come on Mr. Rio.. here the injured party is you, even though we do not get the information we want, but use something valuable for you as collateral... maybe we will love Mr. Rio kesematan “ Sayu with his arrogant face.
At that instant, Rio's eyes widened and looked angry in his eyes. “ Heh? Lo apain isrti cave?! Do not challenge you in power, you just want to make people suffer, why involve innocent people, here is the suspect cave! “ Speak Rio with a high tone of voice.
‘ Sip's... Prey dah nangkep bait ‘ Inner Bayu
Unlike the wide Bayu, Panji and Jordan who do not know the talk of Bayu just look at each other, even though the man beside them said that, like that, but according to the information obtained, they had never heard of the thing Bayu had revealed earlier to Rio.
“ Ok, Mr. Rio... If you do not want this to continue, please for cooperation “ Bayu said.

A few hours after walking in the forest, Hasby and Vanesa returned to the cave because the sun had started to set again, if calculated, both of them had settled in the cave for about 4 days, especially if they are still here until tomorrow, it may be the fifth day.
Lighting the fireplace with the wood they had gathered earlier, Hasby and Vanesa sat down without any chatter with each other. Whether there were awkward feelings from the two, maybe this was the effect of the incident last afternoon, when Hasby expressed his feelings to Vanesa and was greeted by the woman's embrace.
So long silence accompanied the two of them, the sound of insects sounded very noisy even though the distance was quite far from the source of the sound. Over time, Hasby took the initiative to start the conversation.
“ Vanesa.. for the previous one. sorry I spoke suddenly” Hasby said.
“ Why are you apologizing? “ this time Vanesa asked with a slight tilt of the head.
From Vanesa's question, hasby explained that he was quite impolite to express feelings in such a sat, not only without preparation or cue, Hasby even impressed like a person who took a chance in the narrowness, considering the position of the two of them is not dating but a missing person who drifted into the river.
“ Haha.. no papa really, I even like you do not hide your feelings “
“ Hm... If you may know, you since when do you like me? Keep what makes you like the same as rang kayak I gini “ Tanya Hasby with her smile.
Thinking first, Vanesa put his index finger on his right cheek while looking at the roof of the cave, according to Hasby's view, maybe he was looking for a trigger source that made the woman like him. Despite feeling insecure because of the gap between the two of them, both in terms of family and economy, but when it comes to tenacity and unyielding spirit, Hasby is quite confident, Hasby, moreover, his supportive face makes him believe that without the help of Vanesa's parents, he can still support his wife and sister.
But viewed from the perspective of others, they might think of Vanesa as a woman who does not know how to choose a man, in addition to having a beautiful face, an adequate economy and a well-known family, Vanesa should be able to have a partner who is richer or more educated than having to choose Orphaned men who work must also use their own business.
“ You were before when I liked you, right? “ Ask back Vanesa and answered a nod by Hasby.
“ Hm... I think it's been a long time ago, just not realising, especially at that time I was still haunted by other people “
“ What is Syam? “ Tanya Hasby and confirmed by Vanesa.
“ Yups.. Well, if for reasons I like you, I think I like you who are jaily and chatty deh “ Vanesa said with a mocking smile.
“ Uh? Am I carrying a bag? No feeling, you have if you can't speak brake..” Hasby pinched Vanesa's cheek slightly.
“ Di.. emang yes I am chatty, but still parahan you know, already careless... forgetful... boong again “.
“ Haha.. Kan humane, reasonable dong if forgetful “
“ Apaan humane, Just just forget naro watches anyway it’s ok... Hahaha.. already know hp held in the hand is still nyari and must ask for help Nafsah “
Enthusiastically, Vanesa told her all the funny things about Hasby, from starting the man who always almost forgot to bring his cell phone when he left for college, as well as the incident when it concerns who will ride the motorcycle because of the limitations of transportation, even though at that time Jordan had given him a unit of car.
Accompanied by laughter from each other, the two realized that seeing the person they liked was happy turned out to make the heart feel comfortable, let alone joke together, joking, moreover, Hasby and Vanesa have revealed the contents of their respective hearts that make both of them will not hesitate or awkward when it comes to something, they just talk about it, because what? if you look back, Hasby always felt there was a barrier wall if you want to do something related to get closer to Vanesa.
“ Ok, ok... Now it's my turn... “ Vanesa Saying.
“ What? “
Smiling for a moment, Hasby grabbed Vanesa's right hand which he then stuck to his cheek while looking at the roof of the cave with a straight look. “ First time... I like you the same one thing “ He said who now looked at Vanesa.
“ You know if in the past you juteknya ask for forgiveness and the more here often bring me angry? “ Say Hasby with a ignorant smile.
Glancing the other way, Vanesa was quite embarrassed to admit this, but He confirmed it. “ Em... Da... “.
“ I like you for that...
Eh?
Vanesa was silent followed by Hasby who chuckled at him with such an expression, if you think about it, did Hasby really like him because of his jutek attitude?, he said?, but not juterk even impressed chatty because at that time he likes to scold Hasby for always making mistakes in his eyes.
“ You boong huh Hasby? “ Vanesa Saying.
“ Hah? wh why? “
“ Time likes someone because he jutek anyway? I was even impressed... “
“ Yes... whose name is like, how else? “
Not too sure about Hasby's explanation, Vanesa chose to throw away his face and did not want to discuss it again. On Hasby's side, the man smiled because he could see Vanesa's sullen cute face, her slightly raised cheeks making her look chuby.
“ You don't pout like a dog? “ Say Hasby stroking to Vanesa
“ Eh?, I'm not pouting, what's that look like? “
Vanesa realized from the previous thought, He did not expect that when thinking about something it greatly affected his expression. Amidst Vanesa's questions, Hasby laughed loudly while holding his stomach that began to hurt.
“ You why Hasby?, laughter is not clear that?, is there something funny? “ Tanya Vanesa binggug and a little shame, although she does not know what makes her feel like that.
After being satisfied with laughter, Hasby quit his activities and asked one more thing to Vanesa “ Vanesa.... “
“ Yes? “
“ Can I hug you for a moment? “
Vanesa was quite surprised to hear Hasby's expression, before he had never asked for such a thing openly, maybe different from now where they both already know the contents of each other's hearts, but behind that, Vanesa even focused on the highlight of his eyes that compared back to the smile on his face. Not only was Hasby's view somewhat empty, it looked like one who had sadness but could not be expressed.
Without answering, Vanesa hugged Hasby immediately after seeing the look in his eyes, He might never understand what Hasby was feeling, but with his current self, He was determined to stand by his side to uncover and treat what would disrupt Hasby's path in the future.
“ Hasby... If you want to hug me, do not need nanya, now I'm on your side, ok.. if there is a problem please tell me, please, if there is something that feels awkward for you just talk, not only you, I will also like that..so in the future do not make a fake smile again huh? “
Hasby was quite surprised and moved by the positive side of Vanesa, he who was a moment ago a little sad because remembering about his illness that never healed made him think if he went Vanesa will how after, but after hearing the words of the woman who hugged him , He was determined to continue living rather to be able to continue with Vanesa.
Replying to Vanesa's embrace tightly, Hasby drowned her smiling face brightly “ Thanks ya Van.
Both drowned each other, The air that cooled down due to the almost extinguished fireplace was not felt because of the warmth of each other's bodies, Hasby and Vanesa dissolved in their thoughts, in the history of their lives, both of them only felt this kind of feeling once in their entire lives, perhaps this was a gift from the almighty.
“ Ok, the air is getting colder, now you sleep first yes.. let me start again hearthnya “ Say Hasby took off a hug and want to move from his seat.
“ Hasby... “ Vanesa said pulling up Hasby's arm that made her not stand up.
“ Why? “. Hasby focused her attention on Vanesa, fearing that she had something to say.
Cup
Suddenly, instead of speaking, Vanesa suddenly kissed Hasby's cheek for a moment and went outside the cave, where Hasby did not react, but a few moments later he regained his senses and smiled as he stroked the area of his cheek touched by Vanesa's small lips.
‘ Oh, my... cave will not wash this used for a month ‘ Inner Hasby.
Planning to continue his initial activities, Hasby took a pile of wood that he had previously collected with Vanesa, making a fireplace with burning wood coals but was a bit difficult, difficult, especially the wood that Hasby takes is not completely dry because there is some moss on it.
The night was quiet, only the sound of insects accompanying Hasby until he finished lighting the fireplace, for Vanesa who came out had somehow not appeared again, maybe feeling embarrassed, maybe embarrassed, hasby just smiled considering the events from earlier this afternoon, it was impressive and unforgettable, that's all Hasby can say for today.
“ Hasby, Hasby... “
From a distance, Hasby heard the unmistakable voice of the woman that was Vanesa, but from the tone of the call he used, somehow Hasby was a little worried at that time.
“ Vanesa... “ He said as he ran out following Vanesa.
