Emily, The Mute Girl
Emily Goes Again

When Jeremy and his adjutant are out of sight, Emily rushes inside the house. He took a few pieces of his clothes and some money he had. He decided to leave. Emily tells Ferry to prepare her own clothes. Ferry didn't know what his foster mother was worried about. He only knew the President had come to their house and he wanted to know why the president had come undercover. So he asked Emily,

"Mother, do you know the President?"

Emily did not answer the question. He said through his signal,

'Take your things. Just a little, take what's important to you. We're gonna get out of here now.'

"What happened, Mom? Why should we go?" tanya Ferry did not understand.

'Don't ask first. Just listen to my words and pack up!' cue Emily.

Despite not knowing what was going on and still thinking a lot of things in his head, Ferry immediately prepared his things. Especially when he saw his mother's face full of anxiety. Ferry packed while remembering the conversation the president and his mother had. At one point, the president did not say anything strange except to ask her about whether her mother would stay in a palace, but her mother refused. And also asked if it was okay to stay here, but the president also said that all of it was just a joke. Emily took Ferry's bag that had been filled with clothes, then handed over her dog that had been put on a leash to Ferry.

'Hold Blacky and don't let go. Make sure the two don't run away.' signal Emily then guide the boy through the back door.

"Mom, why are we out the back door?" tanya Ferry did not understand. Emily did not answer. He rushes to open the door, and is surprised to find Alvin there.

"Ah.. Ii'm sorry. Actually I don't trust those two people who claim to be your friends. So just in case, I'm waiting here" Alvin said as he scratched his non-itchy head.

Emily was moved to hear it. This young man really has a good heart.

"Have they gone home?" ask Alvin.

"Wait, where are you going in the middle of the night like this?" he asked when he saw Emily and Ferry carrying a bag on their shoulders.

Emily doesn't know what to explain to Alvin. But he realized, traveling at night with a child, would be very vulnerable for him. So he tells Alvin that he wants to go to another village far from the village they live in now. Actually he wanted to go outside the area, but the only access out of the village was by sea, and he was sure in the harbor there would be Jeremy's people there, he said, so he decided to hide in another village first. At least until Jeremy gets out of there and back to the state palace.

"What's? You want to leave this village? But, why? And why go at night like this?" cecar Alvin was surprised.

"It's so late, no vehicle can get you here. Wait for tomorrow morning." he continued.

'I'm sorry, I can't tell you why. But, can you help us get out of here?' cue Emily asked.

"Did these two bother you? And the reason you wanted to leave was because of them? Lily, if they're bothering you, then just say so. Me and the people in this village will definitely handle them for you" Alvin said seriously.

'Can you drive us or not? Otherwise, we'll go by ourselves.' cues Emily. He knew, Jeremy was not someone that Alvin or the villagers could handle.

Although Alvin is very curious to know what really happened, but seeing Emily who insists on leaving, he has no choice but to obey Emily's wishes. Alvin takes Emily and Ferry to where he keeps his motorbike, which he uses to deliver flowers, and rushes to start the journey.

Along the way, Emily's heart could not calm down. It was even possible that he could not calm down before leaving this island. Alvin kept riding his bike, passing through the quiet night streets. Emily is grateful that they managed to cross the village border unhindered and enter the neighboring village. He rubbed the head of Ferry sitting in front of him.

*******

In the morning, just as Emily thought, Jeremy came back to Emily's house again while carrying her entourage of bodyguards. His actions made people not stop wondering what the president was doing in front of the house of a mute woman. Jeremy doesn't care about asking questions and whispering around. He told one of his guards to knock on the door. Jeremy felt he came not too early, because the streets were crowded and people had started their activities. But why is Emily's door still closed and her shop not open yet?

Jeremy's bodyguards knocked on the door several times, but there was no answer at all. Jeremy scrunched his eyebrows. Is Emily still asleep? No, no, Emily wasn't the only one who liked to sleep until noon. Or is he sick? But last night he looked fine.

"Sorry, Mr. President. It doesn't seem like there's anyone inside" said the bodyguard who was told to knock on the door.

"Open the door." Jeremy ordered.His feelings become unpleasant.

"But, Mr. President..."

"I SAID OPEN THE DOOR!!" jeremy's snapping made the villagers gasp. Didn't expect a president to yell that hard.

Not yet had the bodyguard opened the door, Reno, the aide who had memorized the character of the president, rushed forward and kicked the door open wide. Everyone wonders, what was Lily's fault that she was sought by the president, even the president looks so angry when not to find her?

Jeremy then goes into the house to find Emily. He saw the old glass he drank tea last night still located on the table. However, there was no sign of the existence of the person in his car. Jeremy had thought maybe his uncle had told people to attack Emily, but there was no sign of damage or assault in that place. It seems like the occupants are really wanting to leave.

"Mr President! Mr President!" one of the guards came in to see Jeremy.

"Sir President, a resident saw the women and boys who lived in this house go to the next village at midnight!" said the guard.

Village next? Jeremy's eyebrows almost became one as he scrunched them. Emily's really gone? Emily really left this village, is it because she's here? Why did Emily go so far as to meet him? Does he really not want to be with her anymore?
