Elma finally managed to get the car to go. The woman is now driving her own car while occasionally paying attention to the situation around which is already very dark. Elma knew that if Eren and his Daddy knew that he was running out of town, they would both be furious. However Elma had no other choice at the moment. He needs time to be alone. Although she never dated let alone fell in love with a man, but still she felt hurt when she knew her future husband was not present at the wedding. It even impregnated a woman.
Elma remembered a suitable place for her to hide. It is located in the middle of the forest. At night, the place looks really scary. But during the day the atmosphere there can be a very pleasant place.
After traveling for almost 1 hour, Elma finally arrived at the forest that would be her place to rest. The woman hesitated to look at the forest which was now pitch-black. Usually he always comes to that place with Eren. But this time he had to come alone without any preparation.
Elma stopped her car on the road in the forest. Now the woman could not drive her car any further because the road was over. Elma had to go down and walk to a house not far from her position.
When she wanted to open the door, suddenly Elma was shocked to see the appearance of a man who was now knocking on the glass of his car. Panicked Elma did not open the door. He looked at the man who was knocking on the door of his car and begged him to open it.
"Who is he? Why is he here? Is he a bad guy?" ask Elma in my heart. The woman looked at the man without opening the door.
"Please open the door. Help me." Help me." The man clenched his hands with a pleading face. Elma sighed while closing her eyes. She never saw anyone else suffer. Although now the decision he took was very risky, but in the end Elma opened the door of his car and invited the man to go inside.
"thank you. Thank you" the man said after he got into Elma's car. The foreign man leaned back while adjusting his breath. He looked pale as if he was running out of fluids. Elma took the initiative to give the man a bottle of mineral water.
"Who are you? Why are you in this place?" Quietly Elma held the dagger that Eren always kept beside the seat. The weapon can be useful if in urgent circumstances.
"I was kidnapped and dumped in this place. I have repeatedly circled this place but have not found a way out, either" said the man before sipping the drinking water just given by Elma.
"Isn't there a house in the woods? The facilities there are very complete. You can use the tools inside to survive" Elma said confidently. Because now the woman's purpose is also to the house.
"Home?" The man was silent for a moment while thinking. "Yes, that house that just burned down, isn't it?"
"Just been burning?" screeched Elma while widening her two eyes. The woman also wanted to visit the house. But now he has bad news.
"Yes. At first I was happy to see the house. I ran to get to him. But suddenly the fire burned so big and devoured the house to the end. I don't know what caused the house to burn. But looking at the location of the house in the middle of the forest, it seems someone deliberately set the house on fire. There's no way the house burned down all of a sudden."
Elma's face turned uninspired. Now the woman does not know where else to go because if she stays at the hotel her whereabouts will be easily tracked by Eren.
"Why did you have to be in the woods last night. What the hell's going on? Isn't this place really creepy?" ask the man curious.
"I want to calm down. I need a place that is very quiet and certainly far from the crowd" Elma said without looking.
"Seeing from your appearance it seems like you've just been heartbroken, right? Did your boyfriend just cut off your relationship?" guess the guy's just the origin.
"It's none of your business!" Elma wants to start her car and leave the forest but the woman's face looks confused when the car can no longer live. "Moreover now?" he murmured in the heart.
"Is there a problem?" asked the man too with a confused face.
"The car can't live anymore" Elma replied with her innocent face.
The man seemed to have no idea what to do. "But I don't know about cars either. Ii'm sorry. This time I can't help you."
Elma leaned back and then sighed. He did not expect to be stuck with a foreign man in the forest like this.
The man shook his head with a disapproving look. "It's very cold outside. I don't want to sleep outside. I'll just sleep here. I promise I won't bother you." The man showed an earnest face.
"can't. I can't trust strangers. What else is a man."
"Then, there is only one solution. We both better not sleep until morning. I don't want to go out because I'm afraid of wild animals."
Elma again regulated her breathing when she saw the behavior of the man beside her. That man is totally unhandled. Elma alone was much more useful than the man who was now sitting next to her.
"Then help me fix it!" Elma opened the car door.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'll check the engine of his car. Can you drive a car?" Elma still held her leg.
"Yes. Of course I can drive the car," the man replied confidently.
"good. At least you're a little useful" Elma said before descending.
The man scrunched his forehead hearing Elma's words. "What did you say?" a little protest. But he could not be angry because now Elma's position is his helper angel.
Elma checked the car engine very carefully. But his face looked frustrated when he found no fault there. Until finally the woman leaned in front of the car while looking at the darkness in front of her.
"Today I was so fucking shit. No longer married. Stuck in the woods anyway .. same foreign man again!" he murmured in the heart. "I've never hurt anyone. I always keep the feelings of others. Why was I suddenly given this kind of punishment?"
The man got out of the car and approached Elma. He knew that they would not be able to return because Elma failed to fix the car.
"We haven't met. What's yourname?" asked the man while extending his hand.
"My name is Elma" replied Elma as she was.
"Elmra? Why is her name similar to the woman I'm going to marry today. But when viewed from one attitude he does not reflect at all that a mafia princess. Isn't usually the daughter of a notoriously rude mafia. I'm sure that this woman is different from Elma I'm going to marry today. But what will the fate of that woman be if I fail to marry her. They will be angry with my family. But there are also benefits because I failed to marry the woman of choice mama and papa. At least now I find a beautiful woman who is kind in accordance with my criteria," said the man proudly. "You don't want to ask me what my name is?"
Elma looked at the man for a moment before looking forward again. "What's your name, sir?"
"My name ...." Again the man held back his words. "I can't tell this woman that my name is Rivan Johnson. I don't know what this woman's true purpose is either. It could be a plot from the kidnapper who brought me here. Just in case I had better keep my identity," the man murmured inwardly.
"Did you forget your own name?" chirped Elma without looking.
"Of course I didn't forget. But I'm ashamed to mention it. I'm sure you'll laugh when you hear that later. And that makes me ashamed."
"I promise I won't laugh when I listen to it. Now hurry up and tell me what your name is." Elma looked at the man seriously.
"My name is Gato."
