Under the dim moonlight, Sanubari wandered. He begins to question his own actions, what he ran away from his father for, hostile to him as if the man of four decades was a vile criminal. Sanubari realized that this escape was exhausting.
Kelana once told him that Aeneas was innocent in Sanum's death. There should be no more reason to hate or grudge Aeneas. However, for some reason Sanubari's little heart is hard to erase the murder charge.
Moreover, he had also seen Aeneas' men finish Matilda's life without hesitation. The other side of Sanubari's heart wanted to forgive Aeneas. He wanted to be with Aeneas and put an end to this escape. At the same time, Sanubari is too afraid to return to Aeneas' side.
He was afraid that Aeneas would take up arms when he was caught off guard. Ending up just like his mother and Matilda, certainly not what Sanubari expected.
Far behind, two people in black suits observed Sanubari. They both continued to move from a safe distance. The only quick step they took was when Sanubari disappeared around the corner. As much as possible they follow without causing excessive noise.
Tonight's stalking ends at a department store that's open twenty-four hours. The young man they were following entered the shop. They decided to wait outside.
Sanubari took some sandwiches and mineral water. Actually he wanted to take some snacks, but the intention was stopped. He doesn't have much money. Debit card is in hand. Unfortunately, he did not know how to use the money. For now, he only holds four thousand euros—accumulating his salary working part-time.
*****
"How do I get on a plane with this card, huh?"
Sanubari looked at the square card on the table. He opened the sandwich and chewed the first bite. The index finger of his right hand is surfing, figuring out how to use the card. However, the result is nil. He turned to find out the route to the airport.
"Maybe I'll know tomorrow if I ask at the airport. Hm, okay. Looks like I'll have to spend the night at this place."
Sanubari. This is not the first time he has slept in a department store. Tonight is different, Sanubari decides to stay awake.
The digital clock on the phone shows at two over forty-eight minutes. Suppose there is a bus or train that goes to the airport as early as this, Sanubari would have gone from his seat now. Unfortunately, the bus left at half-six in the morning. The train schedule is not much different.
Sanubari downloads maps so they can be used without a network. During this time he only uses free WiFi to communicate with Zunta and Canda. It doesn't feel like two hours have passed. Sanubari leaves for the nearest station.
Long enough Sanubari stood up, observing the passersby. Now Sanubari understands how to use electronic transportation cards given by Kelana. Sanubari.
"Oh, just stick to doang anyway?" It's that easy, but I don't know. Ah, this is embarrassing," muttered Sanubari bowed while holding his nape.
Sanubari had difficulty finding the right platform because it was not good at reading directions. Upon arrival at the airport he got lost, lucky, he met with security officers who were willing to take him to a place where he could buy a plane ticket.
"Posso aiutarla?"
(Can I help you?)
"Voglio comprare for biglietto aereo con questa chart, is it possible?"
(I want to buy a plane ticket to Indonesia with this. Can it?)
Sanubari handed over the card. The woman received and checked the Sanubari card. He reads the caption on the back of the card and then types something into his computer.
The woman was a little surprised when she found out what the card was. He looked back at the smiling Sanubari. Sanubari looks very young. From a distance, the woman could also see Sanubari walking barefoot before finally stopping before her.
Again the woman dropped a glance at the card. He furrowed his brows, half in disbelief the young man like Sanubari could have the rare upper-class freepass. Freepass was originally only valid for one year. However, it has been upgraded to unlimited use after obtaining additional permanent gold seals.
This card holder can get first class aircraft service without paying, it is also allowed to bring one colleague on the way. Good thing again, this card is valid on all airlines to various destinations There are only four people who have this kind of card. Two of them are limited cards that are upgraded to unlimited. Including the Sanubari. While the other two cards are from the beginning unlimited. The card design is different.
The woman explained all the advantages of the card kindly. Sanubari could only gawk at hearing it. Not only can it be used to return to Indonesia, but Sanubari can travel the world without the need to spend the cost of the plane with the card. What else is a card forever.
Sanubari seemed to think hard before finally answering,
(I don't know the names of airports.)
(Then, which city do you want to go to?)
Sanubari took a long time to answer. He held his chin, thinking hard about the names of cities in Indonesia. But he doesn't remember one. Even the name of his hometown vanished from his head. Sanubari scratched his head, it seemed like something was wrong with his memory.
Just this time the woman got a troublesome customer Sanubari. But he is still trying to help. He asked about provinces, islands, tourist attractions and such that Sanubari wanted to visit. However, the answer of the teenager remains the same— do not know.
After almost an hour of struggling with memory, finally appeared the shadow of the monument with a plate of ice cream at the top. Sanubari explains the famous monument to the woman who served him. The woman immediately found out the location of the national monument in question. A few moments later, the ticket business was over.
Just as Sanubari was about to enter the check-in counter, suddenly someone wiped his arm. Sanubari had to stop his steps. He could hear an unknown voice speaking behind him.
"You can't get out of this country."
Sanubari. "Who are y'all? Why ban me so easily."
"You don't need to know who we are. What is clear is that you cannot go anywhere. It would be great if you would come with us willingly," said the man in black who started to take Sanubari away, "let's go!"
Sanubari's benak was showered with big question marks. He did not know these people, but they were fluent in Indonesian. The fact that they invited Sanubari in Indonesian made the teenager even more curious.
That means these people know him. From his pronunciation, Sanubari knew that they were not Indonesians. His mind began to guess who was behind these people who caught him.
"Don't tell me that they are ...," inner Sanubari.
The two people who accompanied him continued to force Sanubari to walk. Sanubari would not want to have to follow them. Sanubari revolted verbally along the way, but they did not care about it.
Sanubari also scuttle one by one of them and put out their best efforts to escape their grip. Next, he ran in any direction. The two people behind him got up and immediately chased after.
Sanubari crossed the street without a second thought. Several times he almost got hit, even had fallen because there was also a car that was late on the brakes until the front bumper hit Sanubari's body. The young man was in shock, but he did not have time to indulge in the limp from the shockwave.
The two men behind Sanubari were seen still chasing. They ran very far out of the airport. Sanubari occasionally looked back. He smiled in relief when he found out that the two pursuers were nowhere to be seen.
Sanubari slowed down, regulating the breathing that began to hunt. From the opposite direction, looks a car pulled over. The men in black clothes got out of the car.
