Heart Darkness
Chapter 112 Don't Let Me Die!!!

Reinha went to Luciano Castle that morning after finishing breakfast. Although there was no Lucky Luciano there, he wanted Francis to bring him to meet the September baby, eager to see the baby. I don't know what's wrong with him? He wanted to do it a long time ago but was very busy at school. He was also recently busy in the suburbs, cooking meals in soup kitchens built by social service teams and handing out to homeless people and others who needed a warm meal before going to bed.

"Francis, I'm going to go see the September baby today!"

He talks to Francis who happens to be in the Castle, the tail of the eye moving into Lucky's room on the second floor. She misses her husband and no words can express her feelings.

Reinha visits Lucky in prison. His lover looks healthy even the prison air makes him more handsome. Is there a man who is extraordinarily alluring in a prisoner uniform? Her husband looks more like a model for the costume than a real inmate. They don't talk much, they only talk two sentences.

"I love you so much. I miss you."

The rest of Reinha propped her chin and they just stared at each other with a few blinks, until the visiting hours ran out and Lucky drove her away from there. Didn't want Reinha to see him go back to prison.

"Reinha?! It's a surprise that you came by, "said Claire seemed very happy even though she was a bit disfigured as she looked back at her back as if she wished someone else was with her.

"Are you waiting for someone, Claire?" ask Reinha full of investigation. Is Claire looking for Augusto?

"Oh no, just .., what a surprise you visited," Claire replied shaking her head.

"I want Francis to take me to see the September baby, I think I want to know how it is" Reinha said. "But before that, I'll go to the upper room," he said again somewhat uneasily.

"Eh, of course. Room only opened for cleaning. After that it closed and languished waiting for his master to return. Come down after you miss, there are very good strawberry cakes, I'll prepare for you."

Reinha nodded. "If in excess, please prepare also for September, yes!"

Claire seems to mind but just right. He and Francis looked at each other, both unable to hide admiration.

"You came here a few months ago and bit Lucky in the upstairs room. I didn't expect you to be here today as his wife." Claire nostalgic.

"Our relationship was tenuous at that time, Cla," Reinha replied. His death was sad to remember Lucky Luciano. They went through a lot of sweet things and now he just fills himself with that man's miss. "I miss him."

"My brother is lucky to have you as his wife. A lot of Lucky."

Reinha doesn't want to know about Lucky Luciano's latest case because it'll only make her feel sick. He steps into the upstairs room, past the room where Seoza and Lucky once partied in booze. The day he found Lucky Luciano without a boss. He reached Lucky's room, pushed open the door and the man's scent of glacier was inhaled filling his lungs. Leaning on the door of the room after the door closed, he gulped and his gaze blurred. Will they be separated for five years? 10 years? She heard a lot of rumors that there would be a party against the Irish later in court to lighten her husband. Lucky is famous for his life and style but more than that many assume; Lucky Luciano is a helper god even he is more popular as a philanthropist than a woman lover.

Reinha goes to bed, Lucky once hugged her after the night her husband was given a high dose of stimulant medication by Valerie. He lay there, close his eyes for a moment, let the coals long for more red before burning.

"Well, 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years, I'll be waiting for you" Reinha said, unable to withstand the turmoil raging in the heart. He misses that man very much. Reinha got up from there, leaving half of her heart still lying down to feel the scent of Lucky Luciano. He went down to the first floor with puffy eyes and ate a little cake to comfort his troubled heart.

Francis drove quietly out of town. Claire and Reinha are behind him. Reinha brought a box filled with baby gear and Claire held a box filled with strawberry dessert that smelled like a car.

"Is September improving, Francis?" tanya Reinha wants to pull over. They passed the path filled with pine trees, stumbling on the stone streets. Pretty long.

"September suffered from baby blue syndrome, miss. He can't control himself. So, I locked him in the villa."

"You mean postpartum stress?" ask Claire.

"Yes, he seems depressed because of his love for Mr. Lucky is unrequited, then the baby was born prematurely, he became lost his mind. But more than that he felt pressured to marry me."

"Is there no other way? You don't have to do that, Francis!" shriek Reinha and Claire nodded.

"The boss position is less favorable, we can't add the September scandal to it. I'll marry her just in case the Irish attack. Although I doubt that now because Mr. Abner told me that Irish Bella was handed over to Mr. Elgio Durante to his closest cousin Lady Salsa Diomanta, Hellton Pascalito."

Reinha was astonished. "What do you mean, my brother gave Irish to someone named Hellton?"

"Yes, Mr. Elgio and Mr. Abner hid Irish Bella at the request of the Irish ...."

"Have those two gone mad? Does Marya know?"

Reinha's eyes narrowed, Marya and Elgio invisible marahan means there is no problem. How dare Elgio hide Irish, although Irish is on the right side, Elgio should not just obey. What if he's trapped Irish?

"The situation is improving, the Irish are disappearing these few days. He didn't even appear on television as a news reporter as he often does."

"Oh, that's right. What if Elgio is accused of hiding Irish? Isn't it risky?"

"Mr Hellton has secured the Irish, Miss."

"What do you mean secure?"

"Emm, I don't know for sure. I think Mr. Hellton silenced the Irish!"

"The arrogant woman? I'm curious about Mr. Hellton."

"That man is very secretive, miss. He is one of the top CEOs of one of the largest dairy companies in the country, but he is also a member of Familly Club just like Mr. Lucky. Even Mrs Salsa and Sunny have kept her whereabouts a secret. He's not just exposed."

Oh whatever, he doesn't care about Irish. Lucky is no longer a member of the Familly Club'.

A Villa is visible among the hills, containing only a stretch of green grass that is slightly yellowed due to long drought. The red brick building roofed with tiles and a little courtyard stands in the middle of a beautiful atmosphere.

"Is this the place?" ask Reinha.

"Yes, Miss."

"This is our hideout, Reinha. Lucky used to smuggle me in here if he was in trouble with the other mafia again" Claire added. "Let's get off!"

They got off the car. There was faintly heard the roar of flowing water, there seemed to be a river nearby. Very comfortable place to vacation. Reinha instantly fell in love with that cool atmosphere of silence. A housekeeper approached them with a panicked face.

"What's wrong?" Francis started to fret.

"Master ..., the madam disappeared," said the maid with an anxious and frightened look.

"Lost?" asked Francis astonished. "How can it be lost? The baby?"

"Your baby is fine, sir. It's just Mrs ...."

The man swept a view around the villa. Here only the vast grass hills, September has new skills. Escape from her. Two hills after the villa there is a Flamboyant forest as well as an old bridge that has been badly damaged and a river. Did he go there? Francis nodded in annoyance.

"I'll look for him. You can be here, Miss Reinha." Without waiting for an answer Francis galloped towards the back of the villa.

He didn't notice Claire running behind him. Reinha clutched her chest as a result of climbing the hill.

"Oh that woman sucks," complained Claire as if out of breath. Francis at the foot of the hill, running with long strides.

"Hey, look at him! The man never cared about anyone but my brother, me, now you and .. "cuckling, "I smell the scent of falling in love."

Reinha set her breath. "Love is everywhere. In your eyes too. Did you expect Augusto to come with me?"

Claire pouted. "No, forget!"

"You know that Augusto's taking care of his ailing grandmother?"

"I think he's lying, Reinha. He went to marry the woman of his grandmother's choice" Claire said. "A polite country girl."

"Are you guys dating? You and Augusto?"

"Yes, but it's over. We kissed in front of Durante Land street like Abram said. But it's the end."

"Oh, my goodness." They're coming down the hill. "I am so sorry, Cla."

"It's okay. I'm going to go to university and date the most handsome senior there" Claire exclaimed.

"Hopefully," nodded Reinha. "By the way, you guys are so lucky to have one, Francis."

"You're right" Claire nodded, "Oh Me Deus, what's going on?" claire exclaimed as they drew closer to the broken bridge, September seemed to be up there among the torn concrete. A bridge split in two, one side swooping sharply against the sky while the middle there is a very large gap.

Francis skips the barrier warning away at the woman who seems unwilling to live it. Claire also looked at each other, anxious.

"Oh he's got a lot of drama, Reinha. If he wanted to die, he could have jumped from earlier, why was he waiting for Francis to come? She probably wanted Francis to watch her die in order to torture the man," Claire sighed in between hunting breaths, resentment, annoyance and a restless face.

"Let's go under the bridge, if he does jump, I think we can hold him."

"The water is very heavy, Reinha. You know the flow is very strong. No one knows where it ends." Claire held Reinha's hand.

Francis tried to persuade September.

"Listen, I will fulfill all your desires!"

"I don't want to marry you" said September.

"All right, we're not getting married. I promise!"

"Let me go with my baby!"

The woman spoke again. Francis thought for a moment, nodding quickly as September advanced to the edge of the bridge.

"Alright, you can bring your baby too! I promise!"

"You're not gonna lie to me, are you?"

Francis nodded again. He promised, "Yes, Septie! I swear I won't lie! I can take you home to your life and I can live my own. Frankly, I also object to marrying an insane woman."

"Yes, you're right, I'm not sane. Therefore, you will take us home today to the city, return me and do not disturb me!"

"All right Septie! Comehere! You're gonna jump carefully and I'm gonna catch you? Then, we'll go back to the villa, you can pack up and go home."

Septie nodded, believing in Francis. However, he was quickly pessimistic on the broken bridge slit wide enough while the water flowed beneath him. How could the woman go there but not know the way back? I don't know what got into him?

"Don't look down, Septie! Jump up hard, yeah!" francis Pinta. Angry at the woman just makes things complicated for them. "Jump in the count of three ... Can you?" ask Francis again. If he skips over a bridge, and Septie goes across, how will he bring Septie back? They'll be stuck there. It seems that after Septie crossed earlier, the bridge collapsed in part, gaping wider.

Francis began counting and September immediately jumped, not strong enough to push his own body because his legs rested across the fragile end of the bridge and Francis was not fast enough to reach September's body. The woman fell and Francis only had time to grab September's hand. The sharp concrete instantly tore off the suit that the man was wearing, sticking out his arm. He ignored it because more than that he just focused on saving September.

"Francis, I didn't mean to kill myself. I just want you to let us go, don't let me die. What about my baby?" September screamed hysterically and hugged Francis' wrist tightly in fear of the man letting go.

"All right, don't worry! I'll pull you. You just have to promise not to repeat this again" said Francis trying to calm down but undeniably his breathing faltered. He lay on the edge of the bridge and thrust his other hand to reach September, although it meant that both arms were ready to be stoned by the remaining iron of the bridge sticking out at the lip of the broken bridge. Mercilessly the blood flowing from his arms dripped down and it made September's grip on him start to slick.

September was getting scared under the bridge.

"Listen Septie, go downstairs and I'll catch up with you. I promise!"

"No! I'm not good at swimming!" Septie roared in fear, holding Francis' hand tighter. However, more and more blood flooded the arms down to the wrists.

"Francis, I don't want to die. Help me!" He looked up and the usually impatient Francis said softly to him.

"Just trust me, I'll help you. Drop yourself and I'll jump on you!"

September shook his head in horror as he turned to the river below.

"Look at me Septie!" force Francis. "Trust me!"

The woman closed her eyes just as her hands were no longer hanging. He fell down, shouting Francis' name before being seen underwater. Francis freed his hands from the sharp iron before plunging down from the side of the bridge.

September's body pokes in the water, missing appearing, drifting along the river's current. He tried to swim but the current was too strong. It will end up in the river due to its own insolvency. Unexpectedly, someone held his hand firmly, not Francis but ... Durante Reinha.

"Just hold on to me!" reinha exclaimed among the roar of the river water.

Both women were flowing in the river. At the end of there, it seems, the water flow is over. What is a waterfall? Oh no, Reinha quickly realized. The water is seen circling somewhere the sign is not a waterfall. This river is a natural anomaly while the other side is a very calm lake. The streams of water from the side where they were washed away disappeared in a vortex and did the water return into the bowels of the earth? Reinha felt limp all over her body.

"Oh we're done, I think you'll be glad we finally shared the place of death."
