The Journalist

Part 61: Ichi Rittoru no Namida

Braakkk!

My pupils grew rapidly. Hearts hit. Knee's squeezing. Even the body froze for a moment. An intentional violent collision occurred before my eyes. So powerful, that the American army car bounced three meters ahead and hit a large tree in front of him. Crush the front and rear of the car to shapeless in a matter of seconds as well. Meanwhile, the black-flagged car overturned and exploded after crashing.

"Capilla!" The sound of my screams was no less thunderous clashing with the sound of an explosion that occurred.

I also ran to the scene of the car accident. I drove over a smoky, badly damaged US army car, in which none of the body parts looked intact.

"Capriloque! Khalila!" I called out his name while looking for him because my sight was dispelled by the steaming smoke.

Someone's scream was heard, but not Khalila's voice. You can imagine how I'm currently screwed.

"To–please!" One soldier sitting at the back groaned in pain. He was trapped in a car and was dying. Not for a second, his screams were no longer heard.

I'm still busy looking for Khalila. Found it! Khalila is still in the previous position in a pinned position car body.

"Sister!" call me with a trembling voice.

He looked up, staring at the gamang with his hands creeping forward as if to reach me.

"Ka—kakk ... Pi–rang," hissed Khalila in a stifled voice.

I hugged him right away. "Calm down, I'll save you! I'm gonna save you! You have to hold on!"

Before the accident, Khalila pulled half of her body out of the car window just to see me take her shoes. That's why, compared to the soldiers who were immediately killed on the spot, Khalila was still conscious. Unfortunately, the lower part of his body was actually squeezed by a car that was shaken up to make him trapped.

Sitting tight, I tried to pull him out. It turned out to be very difficult! I tried to lift his body to escape the car. However, it seemed that it was causing Khalila pain. I then tried to lift the roof of the car that overstretched his lower body. In fact, his legs were also pinned to the back of the body.

I'm grunting. Take out all my energy. I felt my veins popping up on the surface. My efforts were in vain. No matter how strong I am, I cannot get it out. How'this?

I reached into my pants pocket to get my phone. My eyes bought when I realized my phone and all my belongings were buried in a rickety car. Since we were in the woods, it was impossible to wait for someone to come to help. Moreover, the bridge connecting this place has been torn down. There was no other way, I stood up and tried to get help. Whatever I do for Khalila's safety.

"Sister, hangin! I'll get help to help you!" I said while I was about to move. Just a step away, I stopped while looking back at him with a frown. I stared at the tiny, blood-soaked hand that was holding my hand tightly.

"Ka–kak blonde ... don't .. go! Ja–don't leave me ... alone here!"

I sat back down and stroked her face. "Sure! Of course I won't leave you, but .. I have to seek help for your safety. I'll definitely be back as soon as possible."

Khalila held me back. This time, his hands were tighter than before.

"Sir .. please ... stay here!" door's welding.

I'm shaking. "No! I have to get help. We need to get to the hospital now!"

"Sir .. don't go anywhere, please!" the door came back with a glass, "I'm strong enough. Look, I'm not complaining or grimacing in pain, am I?" That word he said with great difficulty. Even so, he could still throw a smile at me.

"How can it be like that? You must get immediate treatment," I said hoarsely with eyes filled with puddles. However, I soon realized, leaving him was also not the right thing. This situation is like a fruit to me.

I knelt down and hugged her with one hand. For one hand remains in his grasp and I have no intention of letting go. My head was down until our foreheads touched each other.

"Then you must endure!"

Khalila nodded slowly. I knew he was enduring the pain that was afflicting him. But I tried to cover the pain from me.

"Say what hurts! Don't hide anything from me! Do not move too much so that not much blood comes out!

"I can't move my legs. What if I can't walk anymore?" ask her with a flat tone of voice.

"Then I'll be your pair of legs. I'll take it anywhere you want."

"really? Wouldn't that be troublesome, Brother?"

I'm shaking.

"Then, how about if our hand grip is released because I am no longer able to hold Big Brother?"

"Then I'll hold your hand back and I won't let go. Even ... If you want to do something you can't do, let me do it!" I said as I linked my fingers to her tiny fingers. Through the grip of this hand, I felt as if I could feel the pain he felt.

Khalila kept me chatting as if nothing had happened to her.

"Born Brother, do you have a sibling?"

"No, I'm an only child. I only have a cousin's sister."

"That means we're both only children. Looks like we fit into a pair of brothers."

I smiled bitterly. "From the beginning, I've considered you like my own sister. You are my little angel. Therefore, you must stay alive and do not leave me! Okay?"

I shake my head. Rejecting the sweet words from him which were bitterly received by me. I immediately grumbled while biting my lips hard so as not to shed tears. I can't lose strong and tough on him.

"Born Brother, do you still have a father and a mother?" tanyanya back.

"Hum ...." I nodded while still biting my lips. I could feel the tip of my lips have been cut and bleeding.

Khalila's expression turned silent at once. "Then ... we're not the same in that section."

"But you still have your mother, Ameena."

"Yes, ummi ..." Khalila seemed to have noticed something. "No need to look for an ummi! I need to save ummi!"

"Definitely! We'll be together looking for your mother after this."

"Cu–enough Big Brother Blonde ...." Khalila's voice began to weaken.

"Why?"

"Because I .. can't do it. Didn't Brother Blonde say he would do something I couldn't?"

"Don't say as if you would ...." My voice is suffocating, I can't make it.

"Night, I dreamed of meeting Abi. I'm very happy. I think God will grant my prayers soon" he said with his eyes almost closed.

At the same time, a military communication device sounded. It seemed like it came from their commander. My eyes immediately looked at the existence of the communication device. Apparently, it was in the car.

I screamed, hoping someone behind the voice could hear me. "Please, help us, there's been an accident here. Your army of four people died on the spot!"

"Where's the location of the crime?" ask someone from behind the communication channel.

My eyes glittered in all directions. "In the forest area to the unspoiled village of war."

"It's very difficult to get there! There was a bridge that was broken down. Leave it if it is dead. We cannot evacuate immediately" the man said.

"But here is a little boy who can still be saved! He needs to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible!" my yelling.

The man was surprised, but still responded normally. "Okay, we'll try to get there!"

After communication was cut off, I turned to Khalila with a glimmer of hope on my face.

"Sister, you heard it yourself, right? Someone will help us!" happy say.

Khalila's eyes have been shut. Even so, he still clasped my hand tightly.

"Capril?" I called his name in a word.

He didn't answer. My heart started pounding. I tried to touch her face and call her name again.

"Capril?"

Khalila opened half her eyes. Staring at me helplessly. However, I still found that speck of life in his eyeballs. His mouth was trying to put out words I couldn't hear. I had to bring my ears closer.

"I ... want to .. rest," she whispered slowly.

"Yes, rest! Don't waste too much energy!" I said as I kissed her head covered in a headscarf.

Khalila's hand that was tightly grasping my hand suddenly slipped. I looked at his peaceful face. My big fist wrapped the back of his hand. As I promised, I would hold her hand again when she did not hold my hand.

Not for a minute, I felt his hands gradually cooling down. At that very instant, my eyes swam with tears.

"I've kept my promise not to leave you alone here. Why are you leaving me!" I said while bowing in.

The tears that I had been trying to hold back were now free-falling from my eyes and nose. Two tear points scrambled out. I was crying without a sound. Banging my forehead into the ground over and over again. My hand hit my left chest many times.

Stuffy! Humped heart. Heart's busted. I was like a wave, dragged from the pain of many folds. Like a white cloud that turns gray. Like a gloomy sky suddenly dripping with grains of water. I lost the light. All the colors in my life seemed to vanish that day.
