The Unexpected Love Journey

ARC II: CHAPTER XIII

‘Where am I?’ Andre wonders. Around him it was pitch-black, he could not see anything. He wanted to scream, yet he felt something like he was sticking and closing his mouth so tightly. He tried to move his hands and feet, but also could not because his legs felt like they were tied by something. Whether it's a rope or a wire, which obviously feels very painful.

“He woke boss” sahut a man with a heavy and somewhat raucous voice. Not long after the man spoke, he could hear the sound of footsteps echoing around him and felt increasingly closer towards him.

“Good, now tell the old man,” said the man whose voice was different when the sound of footsteps stopped right in front of him, “Basic of madmen ..... kidnap a small child,” the man's words begin to sound a bit vague.

While the man was blabbering indistinctly with whom, Andre slowly began to hear the sound of footsteps of the person who was running, “Bos, drugged. The police are here,” said another man who was immediately followed by the sound of a table shake and iron fell to the floor that echoed to his ears.

“Damn it, quickly, get in the car, we move to the next location,” said the man they called the boss. The next few minutes, he was forced to walk after these people, his steps felt quite short and he felt walking a bit slower than usual. Walk in a wide hallway, down the stairs, to climb a car. He could feel it even though his eyes were closed.

Rebelling? It feels useless, just a waste of energy. Although it has been freed from the bond that ensnared his leg earlier. Now he could feel that he was flanked quite tightly on the right and left sides in the car he was riding in. In addition, hearing the person who kidnapped him continues to babble because of his annoyance and the sound of sirens that continue to follow him, he can suspect that the car he was riding was being chased by the police.

“Gass hijack is a moron!! Couldn't be faster what?!!” said the boss. His way of speaking sounded quite upset.

“S.. Su.. Already the boss,” replied one of the men who was definitely driving this car he was riding. The sound of the engine that had been heard roaring into the car, now sounded louder due to being too forced.

“Basic Ka..... WATCH OUT!!!” along with the sound of the boss shouting, the sound of the tires squeaking so loudly rang out. A second later, he could feel his body floating in the air; his head was then stumbled by something and made him lose consciousness.

“ANDRE!!” yunita's voice that called out to her out of nowhere sounded in the darkness that enveloped her, she could feel her hands quite warm and like she was grasping something strangely invisible. He then felt someone like he was pressing against his chest, so quickly and repeatedly.

A white light then appeared in front of him, amidst the darkness. When he approached the light, he could hear someone's voice, “Now isn't your time, come back,”. Afterwards, his body felt like it was being pulled back, so fast that his heart was beating so fast and he could only close his eyes. And so, she opened her eyes, Her Mother Father, Yunita, Cecilia, and the others were in front of her eyes, looking at her with anxious gazes; yunita and her Mother looked about to cry.

“See, I told you. He must be fine,” Dimas said with a big smile as he patted Andre's feet softly,

Dimas might have said that casually, but Andre, in his heart, knew that Dimas was actually trying to make the atmosphere less tense. A forced smile, a slightly trembling and uneventful voice while speaking, a wild gaze to and fro, and eyes that looked like they were already quite tired and were about to cry, he could see all that on Dimas's face.

While Andre was examined by doctors and nurses,

After the medical personnel finished the examination and out of the room. Shortly thereafter, 2 men were dressed in brown jackets; one looked to be in his 30s with a black moustache, the circumference of the lower eye is a bit black like a person who stays up for a few days and has disheveled hair; while the other looks quite young, slightly brownish skin, and, a fresh face like just waking up in the morning, well-arranged hair, and glasses he wears make this person look very intellectual.

“Excuse me,” greet older man,

“Iya, who is it?” Yunita replies in place of Andre's mother who looks exhausted,

The two men in brown jackets did not reply, but rather took something from behind his jacket pocket. The one that looked a bit old showed his police badge and showed it, while the young one was seen taking a small note and a bullpen.

“Can we ask for a moment about what happened last night, for the sake of investigation,” said the police officer.

Yunita nodded slowly. The two policemen then stood to the left of the bed where Andre was asleep, while Yunita was to his right. They were then asked a few questions. Starting from the estimated time of occurrence, the characteristics of the perpetrators that they can remember, there are people who hold grudges to them or not and various other questions. Andre's parents also did not escape some questions. Somewhat reasonable anyway, considering the Andre family is the current no 1 businessman in Indonesia so it does not rule out the possibility of anyone who intends evil with them.

The question-and-answer session lasted about 30 minutes before the two policemen finally said goodbye and were escorted by Dimas and Brandon who also returned home.

Until his parents came home and just left him and Yunita alone, Andre still kept thinking about his dream. Deep in his mind, Andre actually wanted to ask about his dream. However, he felt a little heavy-hearted when he saw the face of his mother who looked so exhausted.

“You didn't come home too?” Andre asked when Yunita was tidying up the mattress that was provided for families who might want to keep it straight. The room is arguably quite luxurious; it has its own room, dining table that can be up to 4 people, its own pantry, and a bathroom that is quite spacious. In fact, this room is more luxurious than most elite boarding houses in general.

“No, my schedule is for tomorrow. You said the doctor tomorrow you can go home,” replied Yunita.

“What problems do you have on the set?” Andre was a little curious after hearing about the treatment of several actors to him on the set when questioned by the police earlier.

Yunita initially refused to say the problem. However, Andre who kept asking made him finally tell all his problems on the set while lying on his bed; which was not too far from Andre's bed.
