LUNA (SUBSTITUTE WOMAN)
RESCUE MISSION

Arjuna drove his car at full speed splitting the crowded city streets. He could even be said to be unconcerned about his own safety, all he had in mind right now was how to save Luna and make Luna avoid the stupid things that she might do in a desperate situation.

After a while, Arjuna finally arrived at the Red House. He stopped his car and parked it recklessly, then he immediately jumped down and ran towards the main building.

Two guards approached Arjuna and arrested Arjuna, who forced him into the Red House.

"What are you doing?" ask a guard. "You can't just walk outside the bar's operating hours."

"I have to go in now. This is important" answered Arjuna, pushing the body of the guard away from him.

"can't. Go and come back when the bar is up."

Arjuna lost his temper. He immediately threw a fist at the man who had been preventing him from entering the bar. The man immediately fell down, but several more guards appeared who directly attacked Arjuna at the same time.

Arjuna took a position to the corner of the hallway while complaining. "Damn, you guys want to play kroyokan?!" he exclaimed, then began to install horses that were ready to fend off the attack. Arjuna is good at martial arts even without weapons.

"Yeah!"

At least five large guards came to Arjuna with clenched fists.

Arjuna dodged, bowed slightly while swinging his legs to knock several opponents down at once, then he raised his fists which were always on target and made his opponent collapse instantly.

Arjuna smiled as he rolled his shirt arm up to his elbow. He was quite satisfied with the results he got. Unfortunately, however, the two guards who had just arrived in the hallway immediately hit Arjuna's back with a piece of wood, making Arjuna instantly collapse and unconscious.

Meanwhile at Arjuna Evan's residence, the Carnation that had just regained its consciousness immediately rose to its feet abruptly, but he sat back on the edge of the bed when his head felt very dizzy and his gaze was twitching.

"Mrs, are you okay?" ask a waiter.

Carnation shook his head, but still the pain in his head was so excruciating.

"You will feel dizzy if you suddenly wake up like that" said Tirta, who has been caring for Carnations since.

Carnations looked at Tirta. "Where is Arjuna?" tanyakanya.

Tirta. "I don't know, by the time I got here he was gone. It was your servant who called me," replied Tirta.

Carnations then massaged his still throbbing head. "Luna did this to me. He hit me when I didn't see."

Tirta scrunched his forehead. "Luna. But, what did Luna do it for? He doesn't look like a person who easily attacks others."

Carnations body was trembling. He recalled a video he had seen on Luna's phone a while ago. Video of Zion being drowned in a water reservoir in a state of unconsciousness and a face drenched in blood.

"Zions. Luna hit me to make me faint and she went to save Zion," muttered Anyelir.

"Zion's? What's wrong with Zion?" Tirta asked again.

Carnations looked up to see Tirta. "I need your help, Tir."

"Yes, Carnations, just tell me what should I do for you?"

"Take me to the Red House. You think Luna and Arjuna are there now to save Zion."

Tirta approached Carnation, and bowed before the woman. "Tell me first what really happened, after that I will take you to the Red House. I don't want to take any chances."

Carnations clenched her trembling hands, then she began to tell Tirta what had happened, ranging from the video that went into Luna's cell phone to the contents of the video showing her torture of Zion.

Tirta clenched her hands when she heard what Anyelir said. "That means the three of them are in danger now."

"alright. Come on, I'll take you there. But, before you go there let me call the police first."

Arjuna regained consciousness a few moments later, with his hands and feet bound. He blinked because the light entering his eyes made him glare.

Arjuna moved, trying to justify the position of his body lying in a sloping position on the cold and dusty floor.

"Aragh!" arjuna groaned, his body ached as it moved slightly.

"Ck, you shouldn't have caught."

The voice of someone who came not far from him made him shocked. Arjuna tried to sit down to see who was speaking.

"Honestly, I was expecting a lot from you, but when I saw you being thrown into this room in a fainting state and tied up like a farm animal, I was a little disappointed and desperate."

Arjuna knew who was talking to him right now. The man's voice was so familiar.

"Zio! Is that you?" ask Arjuna.

The sound of breaths sounded.

"Yes, it's me. How are you, Arjuna?" zion said lazily.

Arjuna squirmed, still trying to get up. After a while, the effort finally came to fruition. He managed to sit down and was now looking at Zion who was not far from him. Zion's hands and feet were tied just like her own, but Zion looked even more miserable. Zion's clothes were wet, her face was as pale as a corpse from the cold, and there were torn wounds on Zion's temple that looked severe.

"Thank God you're safe" said Arjuna, breathing heavily.

Zion smiled wryly. "Nothing to be grateful for. After all, this salvation that I got had to sacrifice Luna."

Arjuna nodded. "Yes, right, but at least what Luna sacrificed was not in vain. Just imagine if they keep killing you and on the other hand Luna also gets caught. Luna will definitely be very disappointed and feel stupid for trying to save you.

Zion nodded. There is also a truth to what Arjuna said. At least he's still alive to think of a way to save Luna.

"What's your plan now?" ask Zion to Arjuna. "We can't sit here quietly. We need to be able to escape and save Luna before Luna gets traded back by that crazy Rana."

Arjuna was silent for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about something seriously. A few moments later he said, "Can you shift? I mean, can you move your body?" ask Arjuna.

Zion nodded. "Could certainly."

Quickly shift to the center of this room, and I will also shift to the middle, that way I can see how the knot in your hand is, and we can turn our backs on each other so that we can untie in each of our hands.

Zion smile. "Well, you're useful too." Zion shifted her body to the center of the room, and Arjuna did the same.

It took a long time for Zion and Arjuna to untie their hands, their hands even to scuff and bleed due to the friction of the rope that bound their hands. However, that meant nothing when the rope in Zion and Arjuna's hands finally came off.

"Yes, we did it," sizzled Zion, who instantly removed the rope that tied her leg. Arjuna did the same thing Zion did.

After the rope at her feet came off, Arjuna immediately stood up and stepped towards the door.

"Damn! Locked up!" arjuna said, after he tried to open the door which turned out to be locked from the outside. "Now what?" ask Arjuna to Zion.

Zion smiled as she pointed at the ceiling. "I know the secret path."

Seriate.
