Heart Darkness
Chapter 81 Marya My Beloved ....

Elgio Durante's. (Cast)....

Upon awakening from sleep with many frightening dreams, Elgio finds himself lying in the hospital. Both arms were wrapped around white bandages, hands were tightly grasped and Reinha's head was drooping on the side of the bed. Elgio stroked his sister's hair, grateful that the girl was fine. Lucky Luciano was sitting on the sofa, literate with thoughts of flying somewhere, just watching Reinha's back lying on her brother's side.

"You weren't together last night?" ask Elgio to Lucky.

"Nearly," said Lucky to stop daydreaming. "When you found out you were in the hospital, Enya nagged me nonstop. Like because of me, you're hurt!" Lucky clucking. Reinha did not move a minute from Elgio's side. The girl was crying as if her brother was about to die.

"His cheeks are swollen" said Elgio gloomily and stroked his sister's blue cheeks. Reinha moved uncomfortably as Elgio's fingers ached. Elgio held back the anger in his heart. They displayed their little sister on their adult, vile site.

"Can you take him to the couch, Lucky? Her neck could hurt if it was constantly tilted," Elgio's pinta again stroked Reinha's hair. What about Marya? Where was he last night? Is your boyfriend sleeping somewhere? Elgio biting the tip of the lip withstanding pain in the chest. Is she okay?

"Em, I don't dare Elgio. I don't want to get sprayed. He was so angry at me for not telling you sooner. Can you control your emotions? If you're angry, you're so scary!"

Elgio smiled slightly, "Bring him Lucky! I'll take responsibility!"

They were so sweet, Lucky Luciano the punk was afraid of his little sister being riled up.

Elgio unsettledly waited for the morning to meet Valerie immediately and took Marya away.

"Valerie may be planning something to trap us again!" elgio.

"Yes, I was wondering what the woman was planning" Lucky replied. Reinha's head drooped over her thighs. While sleeping, the girl's face is so beautiful, always managed to make Lucky Luciano lost more deeply to him. What did Reinha dream of? Lucky Luciano believes he is in there writing chapter after chapter of their love.

"I can't think!" elgio sounded in pain.

"Fight it, Elgio!"

By morning, Irish Bella walks into the nursery with a bunch of beautiful red roses. He smiled at Elgio.

"Have you improved Mr Elgio?!" tanya Irish approached and arranged the flowers into a vase beside Elgio's bed.

"You don't have to come to Ireland" replied Elgio.

"Hi, Elgio. Are you feeling better?" greet Carlos came in and stood at the foot of the bed.

"Hi Carl, I have to improve because my journey is still long. Are you guys coming together?" ask Elgio.

"Not really. We meet up ahead. How are you doing?" ask Carl again.

"Kiss. I'll be out of the hospital in two hours and pick up my wife."

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you, Elgio."

"Not necessarily, Carl."

"Thank you once again for saving me," said the Irish interjected and stood by Elgio, watching Elgio's arm closely.

"No problem. I was just at the right time. By the way, thanks for waiting for Dilly."

Irish smiled broadly, feeling glad that Elgio spoke softly to her. "Dilly's gonna get better soon."

"You should also thank Carlos for shooting the brow of the bodyguard who pointed a gun at you, Miss Irish."

Irish turned around and narrowed to see Lucky Luciano with a girl asleep on his thigh.

"Hi, Miss Irish Bella."

"Mr Lucky Luciano?" Irish often meets Lucky Luciano at charity events and many other events. The man is very popular by philanthropists but the man likes to play women. Even some of his friends have a wild relationship with Lucky Luciano. One of them got pregnant and the jerk in front of her didn't know.

Irish turned back and smiled at Carlos. "Trims for you too, Carl," said the Irish sincerely.

"It doesn't have to be so Irish, I saved you so many times" Carlos replied.

"I think you're just dealing with the country" Irish said again.

"I'm just helping a close friend. Be careful in opinion, sometimes you are too frontal when attacking someone and it can get you in trouble. I can't save you all the time!" answer Carlos.

"Trims for your attention, Carlos Adelberth."

Elgio looked at the two. "So, you know each other?" ask Elgio.

Carlos nodded. "Yes, we meet often at work. Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria. You know Irish, a very brave journalist, he was often hit at gunpoint, was once chased*is, taken hostage once*tis ...." Carlos smiled at Elgio, looking not to discuss further. "I think I should go, Elgio. I'll be flying in two hours."

"Are you on duty?"

Carlos nodded. "Yup, serving the country. Good luck Elgio."

"Trims Carl's been to visit, good luck."

Carlos turned away, exiting the room after parting ways with Lucky Luciano as well. Elgio noticed the slow-moving clock. Seven o'clock passed by when one message came in from Padre Pio.

"Elgio, Miss Marya is currently with Sister Zelinda in the Ancient Village. He was held captive by criminals and managed to escape. Get him!"

Elgio read the message with trembling hands, teary eyes. He immediately got out of bed, unplugged the infusion and accidentally nudged the vase containing the flowers that Irish brought down, breaking into pieces. Flowers on the floor. Irish stared at the flowers.

"Sorry Irish. I was unintentionally. I have to go!" elgio said ignore the blank stares of Irish Bella.

"Hey, Elgio, what's up?" Lucky exclaimed and Reinha woke up from the commotion.

"What's up, brother?"

Elgio came to Lucky, spoke slowly to the man.

"Lucky, it looks like Valerie didn't know Marya escaped and was taken by a nun we knew to the Ancient Village, the Old Castle. I'll pick him up."

"Eh, we're coming!" Reinha.

"No one, wait to hear from me" said Elgio. "I'll be right back with Marya!"

Elgio put on a jacket and ignored his newly sewn arms. Get in his car with lots of guns. There were still anesthetics left in his body post-surgery, but who cares, he just wanted to meet Marya.

Irish was still silent in the room and Lucky Luciano rebuked her.

"You haven't left yet, Miss? We have to leave immediately."

Irish turned to Lucky Luciano, shrinking at the sight of the man wearing a jacket for the disheveled Miss Durante with affection.

"Mr Lucky, do you remember one of the TV crews on the Miopi social show 6 months ago? We met for the first time on the show and you're in a relationship with him?" ask Irish.

Lucky was flabbergasted and stopped his activities for a moment. The man shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't remember. I've had a past with a lot of women and we agreed there was no bond" Lucky said. He did not dare to look at Reinha.

Irish Bella goes from there after slapping Lucky Luciano hard with her words. Reinha pretended not to bother, but she thought seriously of Irish speech. Well, his delinquent lover, has many wild stories with many women and the man has repented even though his deeds from the past are waiting in the future. Lucky sows the seeds of the past, in the middle of the road he repents on Reinha, but the seeds continue to grow and the storm is waiting for them in the days of tomorrow. How many more women? Reinha grabbed Lucky's hand and held it.

"Don't worry, my love won't change easily just because of your past mistakes. Introspect yourself Lucky! You have to repent a lot."

Their eyes met and Reinha looked much more mature than her age.

"Unless you think about being with your baby, I'll give up" Reinha continued.

While Marya was sitting on the bed, Sister Zelinda smeared the girl's legs with medicinal oil.

"It's from my area. We rarely go to the hospital for injuries like this. My father was a healer, so, he made this potion."

"The smell is very strange but it is very cold and fresh at my feet, Sister."

"Yes, this is from virgin oil and cooked with spices such as turmeric, garlic that has many properties for wound healing. Oh, you may not have been able to wear shoes for a while."

Marya nodded. "Dad, Sister. Now it just feels like it."

"Well, sit down sweet. You must be hungry" sister Zelinda said to help Marya lean on the bed. Each leg was wrapped in bandages.

"I haven't eaten since yesterday" Marya replied and her stomach rang in agreement.

"Lucky girl, I prepared your breakfast. Honey, the rendition's up. But I have something else for you and I'm sure Miss will like it a lot."

Sister Zelinda left and Marya from behind a glass window enjoyed the convent courtyard filled with roses and Chrysanthemums. Butterflies fly there, on the surface of flowers and flapping their pretty wings. Marya gave thanks in her heart, she managed to survive the criminals. Missing Elgio is getting worse. Her boyfriend is on his way and Marya can't stand the urge to meet. Without Elgio he felt empty.

"Here it is ...." Sister Zelinda returned with a tray of rice, soup and skewered meat. There are two small cups of soy sauce sauce and peanut sauce. "This is another great food from Indonesia. Name's satay. Eat, Miss!"

The aroma of peanut sauce and roast meat made Marya no-nonsensely eat voraciously.

"Slow down! Watch the food get stuck in the throat."

Sister Zelinda accompanies him to a meal. Really delicious, the rice is still hot and a bit sticky to fit in a soft roast. The food quickly ludes and Marya is reddish from embarrassment.

"Your body is really strong huh, without eating nearly 24 hours."

"I stole two slices of pizza yesterday at the place where I was held. Then, the night I dreamed, my father fed me" Marya said. "He died a long time ago when I was a kid. Last night when he was starving, he fed me a bowl of noodles and hugged me until morning."

Sister Zelinda nodded. "That's a sign, your father is always with you, Miss. Live in your heart. God sometimes works in ways beyond our understanding, unexpected, absurd, but believe me, God is always with people who are straight in heart. I pray after this, you and Mr. Elgio, find true happiness."

"I miss her, Sister," Marya muttered.

"Pray the journey smoothly so that you can be with him soon. Rest, Miss!"

Lying with many cushions on her head, Marya is agitated by the attacks of various mixed feelings, Marya finds herself unable to rest.

The heart raced fast when the contents of his daydream only translated Elgio and the man filled his brain up to the edges of the nerves. Fragments of longing to unite to fill the trough of hearts, incarnate into something thrilling, Marya could not bear. He got up from the bed, a little tired of stepping into the front porch of the Monastery, sitting on the steps and waiting for Elgio there. The monastery was quiet by noon because the monks gathered to pray.

"Come to me!" Let's put two hands together and keep saying the same sentence. "Come to me, Elgio! I love you, I miss you." Uttered constantly. He stopped when a voice greeted him.

"Hello, Mistress. Is it a coincidence your name is Marya? Mrs Durante?!"

Marya was surprised and opened her eyes. In front of him stood a boy about 7 years old with a restless face.

"Eh?! You know my name?"

"Yes, a man crash 200 meters from this village and he says that his name is Elgio Durante. He came looking for his wife at the Monastery" explained the boy.

Marya was surprised and stuttered. "Oh my God, what else is this? D,di, where is he?"

"He sent me to tell you and ask you to come to him."

Marya cupped both of her faces and began to cry. Oh my God, what else is this?

Marya had no recollection of telling Sister Zelinda the panicked girl ran out of the monastery grounds and continued down the streets of the Old Village. He no longer cared about his sick feet. Al Shiva was invisible in his usual place, Marya was running faster.

"Elgio?! Oh my God, why do you have so much to me?"

Marya exited the village entrance portal, no security was visible there. Two hundred meters means in sharp climbs before flat plains in the hills towards the village. He ran along the road barefoot with bandages wrapped in the soles of his feet.

"Elgio?!" he screamed in the street near the cliff. He sits on the side of the street. Leaning into the abyss, there was nothing.

"Elgio?!" the strangle is harder. Unseen Elgio's car.

"Elgio?! Where are you?!"

Someone was clucking behind him.

"Hmm, I thought you were here, Miss! Good thing I followed that minibus here." Arch emerged from behind the trees.

"You?! How dare you trick me?!" hiss Marya. The girl's face was instantly deathly pale, she retreated slowly and would run back to the village as the Arch moved faster catching her body.

"Take me off!"

"No, this time!"

"Take me off!" Marya revolted more strongly and fought the extremely powerful Arch.

"You're getting me in trouble, miss." Arch hugged his waist firmly and held Marya in his arms.

"No no no .... Helpme! Unhand me!"

A car came from the opposite direction and saw his wife wriggling in the arms of a stranger, Elgio's anger rising manifold. The nerve endings stiffened and it stopped right in front of the shocked Arch.

Elgio came down from there with a smoldering red face burning furiously. Long and fast steps, one fist violently slammed into Arch's face which immediately fell backwards. Marya ejected out of the Arch's grasp immediately retreated in fear from there, as far away as possible from the Arch's reach.

"Elgio?!" marya's hysterical scream between happy and sad.

"How dare you touch my wife!" said Elgio coldly.

The angry man, snatched away the fallen Arch and punched it firmly. The new Arch would rise but Elgio swung a kick right in the man's chest so hard that Arch was thrown back. Fragments of anger, emotion, anger that culminated in Elgio not controlling himself anymore. Arch was helpless in the clutches of the strep Elgio, and again lay out his boxing streak until Arch was battered. Unsatisfied, the man dragged Arch into the car. He grabbed the gun in the front seat and pointed his snout at the Arch.

"How dare you touch my wife, you son of a bitch!"
