“Our agreement is not like this. I told you who he was. You've been curious since he came, though,
no?”
“How did you know about him? All the brokers I know found nothing about that Rio jerk!”
“You won't believe it, but I know him better than anyone. Now you've earned your big boss's trust, and our agreement that I'll bring him.”
“No! I myself must kill him, so the big boss will completely trust me.”
“Oh come! Our goal is the same, I just want to play a little bit with him. Isn't the end result he'll die too?”
“This time he can't get out of this village. He must die soon!”
My heart almost fell upon the conversation of two men fighting for revenge
by Bayu. I'm really scared to face them, I want to run away from here right now but again my heart doesn't want it. My incompatible thoughts and heart frustrate me.
My hands were already shaking thinking I should face off against the two.
God, this fear is closing in on me. I never thought I'd be dealing with a psychopath
like them.
Nah! I felt short of breath, I closed my eyes with all my might to normalize my breathing and this crazy heartbeat. My eyes feel wet and my throat hurts to hold on to tears.
Not waiting for long, exhaling a long breath and I definitely stepped out of the hiding place and walked slowly closer to the two.
At first, Mike, who was behind me, turned around and heard footsteps. He was surprised to see me still there.
Then Rey's expression looked more shocked than Mike, despite not saying anything but the man looked at me full of question marks. Slightly tilted his head only to look at me who from his pandagan was blocked by Mike's body.
“Waahh who is this? The girl who pissed me off is giving up her life!” Mike was skeptical.
“Where is he? That guy, Rio?”
“What? So you know him, too? You guys pretend you don't know each other?!” Mike's tone of voice is up, he's already
standing in front of me quickly pulled my hand.
Damn it! He pulled my left hand, I screamed in pain and unconsciously sobbed slowly.
“L—letle! You hurt me again.”
I don't know what's on Mike's mind, but he just let go of his grip and then his hand
raised touching my forehead.
I clasped his hand, looking up while looking at him sharply. “What are you doing?!”
“You have a fever! And your shirt is wet.”
“Ohh please.. Guess who made me like this!!”
The more I understood, the more my sarcastic remark should have annoyed him again. But he looked as if he did not hear it and was busy taking off the black jacket he was wearing. My reflex was to step back when Mike wanted to put it on my shoulder.
“APA?!” I glared at him.
Mike did not reply, he was still staring straight into my eyes, his hand this time pulling my right hand over
soft which of course got a quick pat from me. Facing him like this only makes me shudder in horror.
I haven't recovered from my shock yet, another hand pulled Mike's shoulder away from me. “You made it like this?!”
“What? The Rey I know never cared about women. Oh or don't you know him too?! Difficult
in trust!” Rey who was standing next to me again shocked me. The expression on his face that was staring angrily at Mike was different from earlier as they chatted.
Mike's question was not answered Rey, but his attitude made Mike's answer convinced. Then he glanced at me and said. “So who are you? The girl who had managed to subdue a Rey but instead came back here to look for the fake Rio?!”
Suddenly I gasped in shock as a hand grabbed my shoulder. I knew Rey was the one who did it immediately walked away and looked at the two angry and confused.
“What are you doing?! Stop!”
Rey clasped my right hand, slightly jerking it so I could stand in front of her again.
His serious facial expression stared at every inch of my face. “Say, what did he do to you? You're pale like this. And again this—“
I screamed stifled as her hand touched my left shoulder, my eyes watering again and a drop of tears fell down my cheek. The wound is getting worse.
“You're hurt!” His words held in anger while watching his palms was already soaked by my blood. I didn't expect it to be that bad.
“Your clothes and hair are cold. You've been in the water?!”
I don't know what this guy is thinking. Why should he look worried like this!
It would be easier for me if he played the bad guy again.
I did not have time to answer, I felt my right hand being pulled by Mike and this man hid me behind his back so that he stood facing Rey.
“Let me take care of it! I'll take responsibility and now you're out of here!”
I wiped the tears from the end of my eyes. Let go of Mike's grip and immediately turn around to decide to walk away from these two men. If I continue here, I won't be able to find Bayu.
“Icha!”
I ignored Rey's call, ignoring them was the best way but it didn't seem like the thought
it happened because in fact these two men were already quickly standing in front of me. Rey and Mike stared intently at each other as they moved together.
Since they were now blocking my way, I turned around again to avoid but for the second time Rey and Mike this jerk was blocking me again.
“What do you want! I want to get out of here!” My screams were stifled, angry and tired, mixed into one.
“Wherever you look for that fake Rio, will never find it. Only I know of his whereabouts.” Mike looked at me defiantly with a strange smile on his face.
“I was looking for a place the man was detained by him.” Rey pointed at Mike who was standing next to her with his chin and continued
“However he's mine. I'll make him suffer so we better get out of here—“
“What are you guys discussing with my girl??” The three of us reflexively glanced at the source of the voice. Behind Rey and Mike's body is already standing Bayu in the same clothes as he disguised himself in this village.
His face looked sweaty but from his standing posture he looked extremely confident. These two men in front of me were looking at him with vengeance.
The serious-looking Bayu returned Rey and Mike's gaze. For a moment Bayu glanced at me, his eyes watching my whole body as if confirming my condition. Then his eyes stopped on my left shoulder whose jacket was already darker than the rest. I glanced at my shoulder, and the blood came out more.
“I should have guessed, those who handle you will not succeed in holding you back!” Utterance
sarkastik Rey sounds relaxed.
“Sial! It's hard to catch you!” Mike was very upset.
Bayu smiled cynically. “You already know who I am, don't you?”
I swallowed the hard-earned saliva, the atmosphere between these three men was so gripping as if they were ready for each other
attack at any time.
Then I should stay away immediately!
“So you want to run away, cha?”
