AUTHOR POV
When he arrived at his residence, Nadine parked the car in her style without caring to put the car into the garage. In front of the fence with a heart hit by panic, Nadine reached into her bag to find the lock of the fence.
Entering the courtyard of the house, his heart grew even more worried as he did not hear any sound from within. The atmosphere of the house was suddenly quiet and silent.
The front door could not open, although Nadine had tried to open it with the key she was holding. Nadine thought, maybe the key that is inside the handcuff so it can not be opened from the outside. Want the heart to break down the door, but what power..Nadine doesn't have the strength to do that.
Not losing his mind, Nadine rushed towards the back door. Who knows, the door is unlocked from the inside.
That's right Nadine's guess! The back door was not locked. He thought, this must have been Nathan who really likes to be careless and often forgetfulness locking the back door.
Successfully entering the house, Nadine immediately turned left right to check where the whereabouts of her father and brother.
"Yahhh...? Daddyhh??" there was no word at all when Nadine called out to her father.
"Sister Nathan? Where are you...?" now it was Nadine's turn to try her luck to call Nathan, but again she didn't get an answer.
Then, Nadine's steps came to a halt as she saw her father lying in the living room covered in blood. Yes, the father he loved was lying on the floor like a helpless man.
The body of the father and hugged him tightly.
"Dad get up, Dad..? It's Nadine here..dad...?!" Nadine patted her father's cheek.
Hearing the voice of his daughter Nadine vaguely, Aaron immediately opened his eyes that I adore.
"Ma...Na.di.ne.." said Aaron in a stammer
Nadine was further surprised by the fact that there were apparently two gunshot wounds in the father's chest, even one bullet was still seen lodged there.
Red stain..
Nadine's hand was immediately covered in red stains, after she let go of her embrace from her father. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. All his life, he had never seen this strangeness.
"Dad why is it like this?" there were no tears on Nadine's cheeks. He was crying over his father.
In his mind, who would have done this to his father? What's wrong with the father to the extent that the perpetrator would want to harm him.
Nathan.
Nadine is too focused on her father until she is unaware that Nathan is also nowhere to be seen at home. Where did her brother go? There was no way Nathan wouldn't help his father who was in this condition.
"Nad, father's daughter.you go far away from this place son.dad please! Bring all my precious papers and father's important vaults in the closet" Aaron told Nadine
"Dad what the hell is that talking? Don't think about it!!" nadine Banging.
"Dad is not strong, baby. You are my beloved daughter. Find your brother Nathan, find him, and remember that father's message.."
Nadine is saddened to hear Aaron's words which seem to hint that Aaron will be gone forever from his side.
"No..You can't leave me, I'm not ready to be left.We're going to the hospital now..!"
To give first aid to Aaron, Nadine immediately took off the jacket she was wearing to stop the flow of fresh blood coming out of Aaron's chest. Sometimes Nadine rubbed her blood marks too.
"Dad keep holding this, yes.it is withheld, so that the blood does not come out!"
Then quickly, Nadine turned the key to the front door that had been locked from the inside. He immediately ran out to seek help from anyone who could take his father to the hospital.
Unexpected..Nadine apparently did not need to bother to seek help here and there, because coincidentally, Nadine's friend named Kelvin was in front of her house.
"Kelvin..?!" peekkik Nadine's.
"Nad, why are you crying?" ask Kelvin.
"Vin help me please, my father.my father inside must be taken to the hospital!!" Nadine explained to Kelvin with endless tears.
"Okay.okay.we have to hurry!" Kelvin.
I don't know what started Kelvin's goal of coming to Nadine's house, he doesn't know. Now all Nadine had in mind was her father's safety. He doesn't care about anything right now. At least, with the arrival of Kelvin to his home a little help ease the burden of Nadine whose mind is struggling. Apparently God knows that Nadine is in need of help. Therefore there is no wind no rain, Kelvin is on standby.
Kelvin lifted Aaron's body from where he was lying. While Nadine helped hold Aaron's leg. At that time the house complex was quiet and not crowded, most likely the neighbors did not know the incident that happened to Aaron.
With a quick step, Kelvin and Nadine get out of the house while holding Aaron up to the car. Nadine sat in the passenger seat holding Aaron's head in her lap. Kelvin immediately started the engine and drove the car to the nearest hospital.
This was very confusing for Nadine. Not only Nadine, Kelvin also wondered to himself, how could this happen? Wasn't everything okay yesterday?
In the car, Nadine keeps trying to call Nathan's phone. But the result is nil! Nathan didn't pick up his call. Only the voice of the operator is heard, 'Sorry the number you are heading to is not able to be contacted or is out of range. Please try again.'
Nadine's worry grew because the last time she called Nathan, she heard Nathan screaming in pain. The voice of the scream was still clearly heard in his memory. Feeling frustrated, Nadine stomped her feet making Kelvin who was driving a little surprised.
Time feels so fast. To break the silence on the way, Kelvin had intended to ask Nadine about the chronology of this incident. How did Aaron get hurt? Kelvin was not a fool, he knew exactly that the wound on Aaron's chest was a shot. He notices the detail while holding Aaron in the car.
But seeing Nadine's condition that looks like a lost person, Kelvin undoes the intention. He did not want to add to Nadine's mind burden. For him, if Nadine was ready.he would have liked to tell her. What Nadine needs now is calm.
"Nad, you drink this first huh..." Kelvin offers a bottle of mineral water available in his car to Nadine. He thought, so that Nadine more relaxed, because Nadine's tears were still flowing profusely on her cheeks. Kelvin could see that from the rear-vision mirror of the car.
Nadine just nodded her head and did not reply to Kelvin. His mind was confused and did not know where he was going. On the way, he continued to pray to the Power so that the Father could remain safe.
Not only praying for the father, he also always prayed that the brother could be known where his whereabouts.
