Ai, Love Me
Eps 52, Odessa Rescue

The snare of the crackle was right in until half of the keris went in and slashed the man's right thigh. With so much pain, the man shouted very loudly with the condition of the blood that had soaked the soil that was inundating the rainwater.

Johan pulled the kris and then kicked the man's nose until he collapsed and was unconscious. After that, Johan ran out his flashlight and then ran very fast towards the Odessa tree in the forest.

In just 2 minutes, Johan had reached the other side of the forest that had been burned out. Johan found that there were 2 large tall men standing in front of the hornbeam tree belonging to Odessa. Johan's spontaneity grew more emotional and uncontrollable. His anger was as uncontrollable as his eyes were burning with the flames of wrath.

Johan ran so fast towards the two men without any sound being produced. Johan sped away and was about to save Odessa from the tree. Until a few more steps, Johan found that if only at that time, Odessa was tied to a tree in a bad condition.

In fact, both Odessa hands were tied and made to hang until both feet did not touch the ground. Odessa was really hard to fight and move and could only open her eyes with a faint glare

With so furious and angry Johan, when Johan's body was really close to the man, Johan's body, Johan stabbed both right legs of the two men using a keris and dagger until the two men fell over. Johan immediately continued by stabbing the two left legs of the two men using a kris and dagger.

When Johan saw the face of the man who was about to cut down the hornbeam tree, in fact Johan saw clearly if only the two people ellaki was a subordinate of the papah Johan who had gone to this village in the past. Just like their uniforms were used when going to this village anyway. They use white superiors and subordinates. Just looking at the uniform they were wearing, Johan was already able to recognize the two men.

“kalian? you guys are my papah subordinates?” asked Johan with a very sharp look.

“jo-Johan? How did you get here? arrrgghhh, sakiittttt” said one of the men.

“why did you cut down an Odessa tree?” johan asked with such a horrible look.

“ma-sorry, we can explain all this” said one of the men.

“it is a tree belonging to Odessa and you can't cut it down” shouted Johan as he stepped on the two men's heads using both feet.

Johan beat the two men in the face with both hands in anger. Dozens of punches from both hands made the two men really can not do anything else. The noses of the two men were bleeding profusely while Johan was still beating the faces of the two men.

After dozens of punches Johan gave, in fact his fist was reddened by too much hitting someone's face. Johan stopped his punches as he softly heard Odessa's voice which he heard straight from his ear.

“Johan, it's Odessa” Odessa said in a pained voice.

“Odessa?” johan said, looking back at his body.

“iya Johan, this is me” Odessa replied with a weak voice.

Johan immediately ran towards the Odessa tree and then carried Odessa's body. Johan then severed the rope that tied Odessa's hands and in the end Odessa fell limp in her lap.

Johan saw many wounds on Odessa's hands and feet. Cuts and cuts filled Odessa's body. Johan immediately put Odessa's body and leaned against the tree trunk. After all, Johan's body was already so exhausted. Johan had also run out of energy and had great cold.

“the tree has also been hit several times by scratches from the chainsaw. I hope the tree doesn't collapse and it's still fresh. Odessa's hands bleed and Odessa's cheeks are slightly bruised. This must have been the work of the two brash men” said Johan while touching the cheek belonging to Odessa.

“aww, sick” says Odessa.

“ma-sorry. Your cheek is really bruised. You have to compress it with warm water so that your bruise can recover slightly” said Johan.

“hmm, yes. Thank you for saving me” Odessa replied with a genuine smile.

Johan was leaning against the tree along with Odessa Ai beside him. Johan rested his body under the tree by slightly protecting himself from the rain. Johan was really helpless. His feet stepped on the rock several times because Johan took off his own shoes.

In the end, Johan was unable to even open his own eyes and raised both of his own arms. Johan was too tired to do that. Johan coughed again with a cough so that fresh blood came out of his mouth and nose.

Johan's head was really dizzy with Johan's body affected by fever. The soles of Johan's feet were scuffed and some were bleeding because they stepped on hard, sharp rocks. Johan decided to relax his body with the position of his right palm holding a keris and his left palm holding a dagger.

Not long after that, Odessa put her head on Johan's right shoulder and leaned there. With a breath so heavy and insolent, Johan still could not regulate his own breathing.

“thank you very much, Johan” said Odessa in pain.

“it's okay, as long as you're okay, I'm also happy” Johan said in a weak voice.

“now my tree is safe because of you, thank you so much” said Odessa while holding Johan's right hand.

“same” said Johan while tightly grasping Odessa's right hand.

Hold their hands so tightly that between the fingers they touch. Johan feels warm and peaceful if he holds the palm of Odessa Ai. Johan felt that he did not want all this to be finished quickly and did not want to go home because he wanted to continue with Odessa beside him.

“Odessa Ai, I want to say something to you” Johan said.

“ada what? Just say” replied Odessa Ai.

“actually, I love you from the first time we met” Johan said with a genuine smile.

“hmm, you like me because what?” ask Odessa with a little laugh.

“emm, so you only like me because it's” Odessa said.

“what I like most about you is your love for your favorite tree. How do you guard it and protect it from loggers. Even in the middle of the night like this, you are not at home and even rain rain just to protect your tree” said Johan.

“yahh, if that's it I still can't tell you” said Odessa.

“so how? Do you like me too?” ask Johan.

“emm, do I like you? I like it because you always look spoiled, I like it because you look weak when you are a man. Sometimes you are weak like yesterday and sometimes you arrive strong like just now. I love your courage against those guys. I think it's really cool. You get tired easily and complain. But your complaint is your strength. I love it from you” Odessa replied.

“so, do you like me too?” asked Johan with a confident smile.

“to-why are we even talking about it? a-I'm a little embarrassed ji-if discussing about that” replied Odessa nervously to her face.

“if you don't say it, I don't know if you like me either or don't” Johan said.

“I will give you something to answer your question just now” said Odessa.

“you'll give me what?” ask Johan.

“close your eyes” says Odessa.

“baik” replied Johan.

At once, with just one kiss of Odessa on Johan's right cheek wet from the rain, it proved that Odessa liked Johan as well. Odessa kissed Johan's right cheek with her warm red lips.Johan opened her eyes spontaneously because she was so surprised by what Odessa did. Johan immediately turned his head to the right and made their eyebrows bump into each other.

“atto” says Odessa spontaneously as her eel collides with Johan's eel.

“ma-sorry, I don't know” Johan said in a panicked tone.

“i told you, do not open your eyes first” said Odessa while giving a small jidat to Johan.

“a-I don't know if you're that broad” replied Johan with a blushing cheek.

“so, you already know the answer?” ask Odessa.

“thank you, I already understand your answer. I am really happy” said Johan with a sigh of relief.

“but I have one condition for you” said Odessa.

“what is it?” ask Johan.

“I want you to invite me to go to your city and your home” replied Odessa.

“ehh? To town? Are you serious? In the city is very dirty and dusty. Maybe you don't like it” Johan said.

“not what. Sometimes I want to visit the city. as a village woman who is so tacky, I want city men to pick me up and play there” replied Odessa.

“okelah then” replied Johan.

“yeaaayy, thank you” Odessa replied with a smile so happy.

“I promise I will invite you to go to the city and we will have fun there” said Johan.

“How are conditions there?” asked Odessa a little excited.

“there really bright. There are so many lights and so many houses and buildings. There is also a lot of electricity and cables. There are many large and tall buildings. There are many people and even still very bright at night. There is also a food store, clothing store, and much more. And also there is a play” area said Johan.

“it looks exciting, I'm already impatient. Promise to take me there”, Odessa said with a genuine smile.

“thank you, I will promise to take you there” Johan said with a slowly fading awareness. Slowly his hand grip began to relax and even Johan could not hold Odessa's hand anymore. Johan's head also squeezed and lay on top to Odessa on the right side of his shoulder.

Johan had lost consciousness and fainted unconscious. Johan also fainted while still exposed to spatter water. Johan's face was completely pale while his body was exposed to fever.

“it's so exciting, I really really want to go to the city with you. I want to spend my days and nights playing with you. It's all for your safety, too, Johan. I must protect my tree which belongs to my body and also I must guarantee your safety as well. After all, if my tree is cut down, I will also disappear from here. I love you, Johan” said Odessa with her tears hitting Johan's wet hair.

At that moment, Odessa heard four men running towards her tree. Odessa also saw that the four men were the elders in the village. Because the four men will not threaten the tree, so Odessa can breathe a little relief and not have to worry.

At that moment, Odessa put Johan's body so gently and made Johan's position as if he was going to hug the tree. Odessa immediately entered the trunk of the tree, leaving no trace. Odessa's body pierced through the tree and fell asleep inside.
