"Gio, hey", call Ara to calm down. The girl had already crouched down in front of Gio and was holding the arm of the man who was still firmly grasping her hair. Ara and the others were made to panic, especially when the male's breath was increasingly hunting with a mouth that continued to groan like holding back pain.
"Abang, wakeful. Hey", call Gea crouching to calm her brother down.
While on the other hand, Arsal frowned as he glanced at Gio's phone that had fallen and was still on. The man in a green beach dress took the phone and his eyes were immediately perfectly rounded when he found a photo of someone who seemed to be covered in blood and then photographed and sent to Gio. Gio reacted like that. In addition to water, Gio phobia with blood. But when Arsal checks the sender's number, a new number that can no longer be reached. His forehead was made even more confused. Who did this, Arsal's mind looked at Gio who was still trying to calm his sister and lover.
"Arrrggghhh", again and again Gio shouted while hitting his head, hoping that the shadows on his head would disappear.
The man's body was still trembling violently with sweat that was increasingly soaking his face. The shadows of the past appeared like broken tapes continuously present smashed into his head, making him dizzy.
"Giooo's.... Gioo.... Gioo... Please"
"PERGIII", Gio shouted loudly as suddenly the sound of someone appearing as if surrounding him at this moment.
"ARRRGGGHHH, GOIII", Gio is getting out of control. Ara and Gea had even been overwhelmed by it. Zian and Reyhan also do not know what to do, they only help Ara and Gea calm Gio, as well as Dara. While Arsal was still standing looking at Gio, but his brain was thinking about what could calm the man down.
"Geaaa.". ", Arsal had not yet finished his words, the girl had hugged Gio tightly, knowing what Arsal was going to say. Gea understood what had happened to her brother and this was not the first time she had faced Gio like this. But after a long time, only this time Gio came back like this. Not only her trauma but her brother as well, the difference is that Gio hid it from their parents.
Ara made room for Gea. He understood and he was also not used to facing Gio like this, so he was more handed over to Gea for now. But, he promised in the future that he would calm Gio down if it happened again like this.
"Abang, relax. This is adek, there is nothing bang. Don't be afraid" said Gea gently trying to give Gio some calm. Meanwhile, everyone was just watching. The girl's efforts were not in vain. Slowly but surely Gio can calm down and return his sister's embrace. His tears that had dripped soaked the clothes that Gea was wearing.
"Capek" was the only word that came out before the man lost consciousness.
...---💓💓💓---...
Ara sat by the bedside and looked at Gio who was still faithfully closing her eyes. Seen from the look on the girl's face, she was so worried about Gio's state. For the first time he was faced with a figure like this Gio.
Her tiny hand grasped Gio's soft hand and stroked him slowly. His heart ached knowing Gio was as weak as this, he was not as strong as people imagined. Gio was just smart to hide everything.
In that room only Ara and Gio were still unconscious. While the others were in the guest room to rest while waiting for Gio to wake up. For those who do not understand is surprised by Gio's behavior. While Gea and Arsal only sighed occasionally.
"Wake up dong, baby" said Ara quietly.
"Eat first. You haven't had lunch yet", continued the girl staring at the shade of her lover's handsome face. The girl could have said lunch when it was almost dark.
The movement of Gio's hand held by Ara managed to distract Ara. Instantly, the girl's smile immediately expands when she sees Gio trying to open his eyes and adjust the light in the villa's room.
"Gio", calling Ara softly made Gio shift focus on the girl beside him.
Gio smiled faintly and sat down with Ara's help.
"Drink first", Ara offered a glass of drinking water when Gio's sitting position was felt to be comfortable.
"I'm afraid, do you?", asked Gio after sipping the water.
Ara shifted her seat and grasped Gio's hands gently. "No" said Ara.
"And I told you not to be forced, why forced it" asked Ara so gently made Gio smile thinly.
The man in a black shirt spread his hands to get Ara into his arms. Ara who understood immediately hugged Gio tightly, leaning her head on Gio's field chest.
"Don't scare me anymore" said Ara slowly.
"He's not afraid?" said Gio chuckling softly.
"I mean, you're not hard. But make me afraid, afraid you why-why", said Ara.
Gio rubbed Ara's long hair, while occasionally kissing the top of Ara's head. Being near Ara like this increasingly makes him find the same comfort when near his mother.
"Sorry", said Gio.
Gio immediately kissed Ara's forehead at a glance and then smiled faintly. "Udah worries you", he said.
...---❣❣❣---...
"Lo scares me" said Arsal staring at Gio.
The eight people were gathered in the guest room of the villa after dinner last night. Arsal who was sitting next to her lover continued to highlight Gio who was sitting on a fur carpet.
"Sorry if I trouble all of you" said Gio staring one by one at a time.
"Look down, bang", said Zian who is now busy laying his head on Gea's thigh.
"What if we look elsewhere?", suggested Reyhan the same position with Zian, sleep with Dara's feet as a pillow.
Everyone nodded approvingly, but Gio quickly brushed him off.
"If you find somewhere else, don't hunt. We only have until tomorrow afternoon", said Gio.
"But Gii... ",A,
"Udah, I don't know" said Gio trying to convince the others.
All just nodding resignedly, Gio was stubborn indeed. The eight people returned to focus on telling daily life interspersed with jokes and debates sourced from Arsal, Gea and Dara.
"FUCKBOY", Gea and Dara are upset that Arsal is always flirting with both of them.
"Rather than lo, hanged" said Arsal lightly pointing at Gea.
"Wah can not be let go", this time Dara is ready to throw the sofa pillow that she holds.
"SERANG", Gea and Dara strangled Arsal's body and beat the man's body brutally, stupidly again Kanaya, Arsal's lover followed by attacking with innocent laughter and innocent looks. The girl did not even know what the problem was, seeing Arsal being beaten made her smile fluffy and also go along. Gio, Ara, Zian and Reyhan were just enjoying the spectacle in front of them with laughter that had broken out from earlier.
"Anjir, you're all insubordinate", cried Arsal deflecting every blow from the three girls. While the others just stared at Arsal concerned with the laughter that had exploded.
Tired of laughing, Gio pulled Ara to come with him. He wants to spend the night with his girl today.
"GIO PLEASEIN GUE", cried Arsal seeing Gio who had already sailed away from there. Gio was indifferent, paying attention to his listeners and continued to walk pulling Ara slowly.
"Where are you going?", asked Ara following Gio's steps.
The man just kept quiet and kept walking. After a few minutes, they arrived at the garden next to the villa. Gio told Ara to sit on the park bench that was available there. The big hand of the man grasped both hands of Ara and rubbed them, intending to give warmth to the girl. Ara kept silent and kept staring at Gio.
"Can I just not, Gii?", asked Ara managed to shift Gio's gaze. The man stared at Ara in the shade.
"Can" said Gio softly.
"Emm, what made you kayak earlier. Actually what has happened and what do I not know?", asked Ara carefully afraid Gio was angry.
Gio sighed softly and leaned his body on the back of the bench. The stage turned to look at the sky and the ocean that was a little far from him, not even very clearly visible if it was the ocean. Already he expected, Ara would ask like that. While the girl with the oversized hoodie just watched every move of Gio, waiting for Gio to tell a story.
Gio glanced at Ara then pulled the girl closer to him. His hands shifted to hug Ara's waist and leaning Ara's head against her field chest made Ara reflexively wrap her hands around Gio's waist. Silent for a few minutes, only a rough sigh was heard from Gio's mouth, as if he was preparing himself to tell a story.
"If you are not ready yet papa" said Ara was about to take off her embrace, but Gio's hand held her back by tightening her embrace. The man put his cheek on the top of Ara's head.
"Past........ ",A,
