Holy Marriage
Seeking Tranquility
Ugh. It must have hurt. Think of it as punishment. The incision in the body is definitely not comparable when compared to the incision in the heart. The whole thing is incredible. Anna couldn't bear to see Alan helpless.
“Go, Anna. They won't let you go even if you give up the ring,” Alan groaned.
Anna rounded her eyes. In a split second he thought, then he chose to flee. The men screamed and Anna would not turn her head.
It could have been Anna swapping Alan's safety for the ring the bandits wanted, but the pain in her heart made her prefer to run away. He tried not to care about Alan anymore. The pain made his heart freeze. After all, those bandits would definitely not dare to eliminate Alan. They want a ring, not death.
Anna stopped when she had turned far enough, precisely now on the edge of the highway, a road packed with traffic vehicles. For a moment he thought, what if those thugs really hurt Alan? What if they are really angry?
It was raining so hard and Anna wiped her face washed by the rain. Anna turned and ran towards the place where the thugs were bending Alan's body.
From the end of the alley, Anna found no one. Anna should have been able to see where Alan and the thugs were if they were still there. But they're gone. Anna stood right where the red color was stepped on by her feet, in a matter of seconds the red liquid melted together with the pooling rainwater.
If Alan had been hurt and couldn't get up, he would still be there. But Alan is gone, which means he can still walk and hopefully be fine.
Half-hearted Anna regrets preferring the ring over Alan's safety. Actually the ring was completely worthless in his eyes, far more valuable to Alan than the lifeless ring. But the painful incision in his heart made him behave so.

Anna washed the dishes after eating jumbo fried noodles, with Herlambang she ate together. A day of not eating makes Anna managed to spend noodles in large portions. Recalling the videos that kept looming in the memory of the head had completely drained his mind. He tried to keep forgetting, but the incident continued to stick in his head. Sucks.
“OK, Dad,” Anna replied without turning her head. How could Anna have told Alan of her whereabouts, as much as she could have avoided, and how could she have told him where she was now to the traitor.
Anna followed her father into the living room after tidying dishes and glasses to the shelves.
“Dad, Anna visited here because of kangen same father.” Anna was writhing spoiled in Herlambang's arms.
“Yesterday you just came from here. Don't come here often, let me visit you there.”
“Better the young ones who visit the old ones right? But I'm alone every time I come here. I know for myself Mas Alan his people are very busy.”
“Dad understood about it.”
“Anna often think of father, look at father alone at home, no one keeps dad.”
Herlambang smile. “Dad is still healthy, still strong. What to worry about?”
