Loving You Under the Beautiful Sky
052

Everyone froze, flabbergasted in disbelief and blindfolded reflexes as the sound of the sniper's weapon bursting sounded deafening. Lala hugged Evan tightly while crying loudly, frightened by the situation.

When the voice only sounded once and felt nothing, Lala opened her eyes peering around. He was astonished to see the faces of the detectives gaping with glaring eyes. Releasing Evan's embrace while wiping away her tears, Lala glanced at the detectives' gaze.

Instantly Lala closed her mouth gaping in disbelief seeing Rio who was injured in the stomach with the sniper still pointing a gun at her. Rio also looks very surprised by his current condition. The man fell to his knees with bulging eyes by pressing on his stomach which continued to bleed.

"What are you doing ? You should have shot them !" With a pale face.

"I didn't follow you because I was tempted by your money. But it's all about getting revenge for what your father did to my family. For the sake of a project, he seized the rice fields of my family and made our lives dangle for a moment without the change of money he had promised. My father was stressed and had a stroke. From then on I swore I would finish Edi Gunawan with my own hands. But that damn guy died easy !" Tell the sniper with a heavy voice.

"Bad, dare you betray me. You'll never get paid anything !" Shouted Rio, the sweat-bulbs as big as corn seeds had already filled his forehead.

"I don't need any of that, I just want the Edi family to be destroyed like I feel and you're one package of all that !"

"How dare you, I won't make your life calm !" Shouted Rio, his breathing already sounded claustrophobic.

'DOR'S'

The second shot right in the heart of Rio instantly made the man fall down and die instantly with blood flowing a lot.

Lala was hysterically screaming at the sight. Everyone stared in disbelief at what had just happened. Is this called the weapon of eating sir ?

The sniper was still staring at Rio lifeless body, behind his mask his tears flowed as he felt the tightness in his chest never go away. The grudge that had long inhabited his heart was now shed with his tears that he could not bear. Letting spill over his mask and clothes.

Glancing at Evan et al, the detectives returned to gun fearfully if they were next. But what happened was that snipers instead quickly ran through the thickets among the trees, leaving those who were sculpting still unable to believe what was happening.

Lala was almost unsteady as Evan again grabbed her body and hugged her tightly letting her shed her tears.

"It's over, it's over !" Evan stroked Lala's back trying to calm the girl down.

Before long, many policemen filled the place. Bring Rio's body to the hospital and bring 3 kidnappers who have been secured by 4 detectives. Interview witnesses who saw the incident.

Long enough, they finally dispersed by carrying Rio's body in an ambulance. Lala sat in the back of Evan's car. Recollecting back to when they were together when Rio was still an apprentice. It, he, Rio and Tiwi followed Evan and Rizky to review the location on the edge of the forest and at that time he and Tiwi tried to attract the attention of Rio even the two did not hesitate to grab each other and pull clothes. It was so fun to talk the three of them unconsciously entered the forest and got lost. He and Tiwi panicked and immediately cried on Rio's shoulder even though soon help came and he and Tiwi were hit by Evan's nagging.

Remembering that Lala came back crying. Still did not expect that the brother of Rio who used to be kind, friendly and handsome now fared like this.

The door opened and Evan entered the car, sitting next to Lala. Re-grabbing the girl and hugging her for the umpteenth time and allowing her to shed tears on her chest.

"I didn't expect Rio's brother to turn out like this !" Said slowly.

"Forget over, don't think about this anymore or you'll be stressed out later !" Evan stroked Lala's head.

Before long Rizky came in and sat in the steering chair and ran the car.

"Jasad Rio is already heading to hospital S and I've asked Cleo to contact Rio's wife !"

"Rio's wife ?"

"Yes the boss, he's Cleo's friend. Name Ayu. Remember we used to attend Rio's wedding !"

"I forgot Ky. But it's good if he has a wife !" Evan's words made Rizky frown.

The atmosphere was quiet during the return trip. Evan glanced at Lala as the girl's regular breathing sounded. He slept on Evan's boat after exhaustion from crying made Evan smile and lay his head on Lala's head and soon fell asleep. Rizky who noticed it from the rearview mirror just shook her head.

The journey that took hours was now filled with silence.

*****

Cleo, who had parked her car, got down and entered the hospital. Passing through the hallway and asking some hospital officials he finally saw Ayu who was crying as if in the waiting chair. Waiting for the arrival of Rio's body which is still on its way.

Shortly after receiving a call from Rizky, Cleo immediately informed Ayu that the woman was hysterically crying in disbelief at what was conveyed by Cleo and now the woman was already in the hospital despite the rumored ambulance that brought Rio would arrive in a few hours.

"Father !" Sapa Cleo's. Ayu raised her face and immediately stood hugging Cleo.

"Why did it suddenly happen to me like Cle ? When our relationship wasn't good, why would he go and stay with me !" Ayu was crying loudly.

"Propay Yu, please sincerely your husband !" Cleo stroked Ayu's back.

Cleo led Ayu back to her seat, opened her bag and took out the plastic containing the snacks. Cleo thrust white water at Ayu. After being calm enough, Cleo thrust bread at Ayu who was rejected by the woman. Cleo continued to persuade and give understanding.

"The first to bury Rio then maybe I will return first to country B to continue his business there or open a branch here. I don't know !"

"Propay Yu, this is destiny. Please don't be sad for a long time !" Cleo hugged her friend.

"Yes Cle !" Ayu came back crying. Didn't expect this to happen when yesterday her husband was fine.

The two embrace, trying to calm each other down and Cleo decides to accompany Ayu until Rio's body arrives.

*****

Next day.

Rizky's HP rang and gave rise to the name Cleo. The guy just smiled without any intention of lifting it up. When he saw Cleo's name, his current feelings were difficult to express. Vibrating happily, Rizky's mind was everywhere with a smile that did not fade from her lips.

The three are having breakfast together, because last night Rizky was staying at Evan's house. Inevitably Lala sleeps in Evan's room because Rizky will inhabit the guest room while Evan sleeps in his study.

"What's so funny Ky ?" Evan asked to look at Rizky who was smiling to herself. Lala who sat in front of Rizky turned her head.

"Oh, it's okay boss. I just remember the funny thing !"

Elsewhere, Cleo growled when Rizky didn't pick up the phone. Since the last phone call told her about Rio's situation, Cleo had no idea how the guy was doing because Rizky never picked up her phone.

At lunchtime, Cleo exits her office to her car and seeing that Rizky has been styled in front of her own car, the boy smiles coolly, upsetting Cleo herself. The phone call went unanswered and now he appears like a hornet.

"Good day my future wife !" Greet Rizky with her restrained smile.

Hearing that Cleo's face flushed red, he turned to the left and right to make sure no one heard Rizky's words.

"Udah, don't talk about it. People will hear them misunderstand !" Cleo walked up to Rizky and beat up the guy's arm.

"Lho, it's good. They know you already have it !" Rizky held Cleo's hand back wanting to hit her.

"Did !" Cleo sneered.

"Have you eaten ? Let's go eat ?"

"I ate !" Lie Cleo.

"Then accompany me to eat yah !" Without asking for her approval, Rizky grabbed Cleo's waist and led her into the car. After that the car passed away accompanied by a stare that was difficult to interpret by master Kevin who saw the closeness of the two from the top floor of his room.

*****

Evan and Lala are also in a fast food restaurant sitting quietly with each other while enjoying kentucky chicken, fries, burgers and soft drinks.

"Hmm. My apprenticeship is over and I'll be back in town soon !" Lala broke the silence.

Evan stared at Lala. True, the apprenticeship of the girl had finished even past the day limit due to the kidnapping. And now this day comes, too, when the girl will be gone again.

"Don't go !" Evan Pinta.

Lala glared at Evan who she thought was alone.

"I have to go back, Benki must be looking for me !"

"I don't want you to go La. I've lost you and I don't want to lose you again. So resign from there and come back here. Get back to being my secretary or we'd better get married !" Evan. Lala who was about to drink instantly kept the soft drink glass away from her mouth and gaped at Evan.

"I mean ?"

"Don't stay with me again La, do you know what I was like yesterday when you left. I'm like a crazy person, I kind of lost my way and now what are you saying ? You want to go again !"

'If you knew I was crazier when I decided to leave you !' Lala.

One year or so they separated making Lala try hard to maintain her sanity so as not to dissolve in longing for Evan. Leaving this man she loved so much was not an easy matter, her heart was in revolt but the decision was still taken and lived with tears.

And the first meeting after a year or so, Lala's feelings again arouse trying to break down her defenses to forget Evan, bringing back the feelings that had been locked tightly.

"Don't go !" Evan clasped Lala's hand. "Married to me !" He added, making Lala sculpt not know what to say.
