Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 68 - Amanda's
...***...
"My name is Kevin, one of the evolvers who managed to escape from the lab. Just like you guys."
"I'm Elvina." Elvina shook hands with Kevin.
"It's nice to meet you." Kevin smiled wryly. Elvina then turned to look at the veiled woman who had been with them since the last time they passed the escape.
The woman sat on the edge of Elvina's bed, she smiled at him as she grabbed Elvina's hand and held it.
"I want to say a big thank you because you and William have helped me escape their pursuit. Without you, I wouldn't be free and be here with you" he said in English. The woman hugged Elvina tightly.
Elvina was stunned, she did not understand what she was saying. All he caught was a word of gratitude that could explain everything.
Elvina smiled then returned her embrace. "I'm really happy that I'm still under God's protection" she whispered in Elvina's ear. However, Elvina this time did not understand at all with her words that continued to use English that was beyond her ability.
They broke his embrace, silent for a moment while looking at each other.
"He's very grateful to you, and he's also grateful to still be in God's protection" explained Kevin who understood Elvina was not familiar with the woman's words.
"No problem" said Elvina.
"My name is Amanda." By the way." The woman thrust her hand towards Elvina. Introducing himself.
"I'm really happy to be reunited with you."
"Me too" said Elvina. If it was just a light conversation like this, Elvina understood. Because there are some familiar words in his ears that have been learned while sitting in the High School. "By the way you don't speak Indonesian? Where the hell are you from?" ask Elvina.
"I don't speak Indonesian. I'm from London, England" he said in English. Elvina mangosteen heard his words. At least two words behind his sentence were capable of understanding.
That means, he was one of their targets? Lucky I met him, Will and I were able to help him. Otherwise, maybe he's over like us. Inner Elvina. He lowered his head staring at both of his palms. Elvina's mind that night, filled with everything about the professor and his crazy project of experimenting with the human body.
Before long, Dorothy threw out her entire reverie. The old lady who was hosting the house, immediately ordered her guests to prepare for bed because of the late night.
Dorothy arranged everything. He placed Elvina and Amanda in the same room in the room he had provided. Meanwhile, William stays in Kevin's room for the night. After arranging everything, Dorothy then went to rest. However Dorothy understood, Elvina, Amanda and William also needed a break, especially after their escape attempt.
After they left, only Amanda and Elvina remained in her room.
Silent and awkward, that was what enveloped them. Between Elvina and Amanda, both of them just kept quiet with each other while staring at the ceiling of their room. Not a word came from his lips. Both are too confused to talk about what, especially it will be difficult for them to communicate especially if they do not understand each other too much about their respective languages.
