* Lia POV
Five more steps we turned, but somehow I felt something was wrong behind me. There were footsteps other than the steps of the three of us.
My curiosity caused my head to reflex and saw a woman standing with an evil grin on her face.
The same evil grin as when that woman wanted to kill me when I was a kid. And I knew that the woman was not playing around because she had a folding knife in her hand that was aimed at my mother.
Without a word, the woman threw the knife. I immediately used my body as my mother's shield.
I don't want anything bad to happen to Mom. I love him so much.
And it made that little knife stick in my arm, it hurt. Lucky not to stick it in my chest. Otherwise, I could have caught up with the five people that Bayu just finished off.
"Aahhh" I screamed in pain as the knife stuck in the left arm.
I saw Bayu's sister turn her head quickly and a look of worry covered her. Ahh, she looks so sweet.
"Lia? You're hurt" cried Bayu's brother who immediately released his hand grip on mama.
So did mom, the scared face was very obvious. But I'm happy to be able to protect my mom.
"Ah, a lot of blood is coming out" said Bayu who immediately tore my sleeve with the knife that I had taken off my arm.
When I turned to Aunt Ruby, the woman seemed happy because she had hurt me and behind her, there was Johan who was screaming hysterically.
"No mommy!" he shouted with a grim face.
Aunt Ruby turned her head for a while, and after a small laugh, she ran somewhere. And after that I just felt my arm hurt.
"You should have let the knife stick Lia. In order not to get more blood out" said Bayu because the blood on my arm was still seeping even though it was wrapped in a thin jacket owned by mama.
"I don't understand, brother. Seeing the knife in my body, my reflexes just pulled it" I said with a grimace, sore.
"I don't carry tools to sew wounds. Hopefully with this bond the blood can be reduced" said Bayu who has given some ties in the armpit and in my wound.
Just this time I saw Bayu's brother in this close distance. It turns out that he does look. And the more he looked worried, the more handsome his face also looked. With a lot of sweat coming out on his forehead then the small grains of sweat fused together to make it drip.
Down from the forehead past his nose and dripping from the tip of his nose. That makes him even more unexplained. The aura becomes different.
"Don't look at me like that. You can fall in love with me" said sister Bayu who seemed to know if I was watching even though her eyes did not look at me.
I was so blushed from being caught looking at her. Even now I do not feel the pain of my wound when I focus on seeing the face of sister Bayu.
"What's the time for surgery, brother also looks like this?" I asked while he was still focusing on my arm.
"Of course not. Surely my hair will be neatly tied with a hat and surgical mask. And there are nurses who also focus on wiping my sweat so as not to fall onto the operating table" replied Kak Bayu without looking at me.
"It's done. Now we just wait for your papa to come and I will also call an ambulance" Bayu said again.
Now he looks busy with his phone and he's actually calling an ambulance.
"Are you okay, son?" mama asked with a worried face while hugging me from the uninjured right.
"It's better, ma" I said lying so that mama did not get worried, even though after Bayu's sister released her hand earlier, the pain came back until it felt twitching.
After a while, sister Bayu came back and sat down before me who was lying on the floor. She looked at me with no shame despite having a mama beside me.
"If something bad happens to you, I make sure the woman will never see the beautiful side of the world again, Lia" Bayu said with a sadistic look.
"Already brother. I'm fine too" I replied.
"You're not okay, Lia. I guarantee that when you stand up, your eyes will surely merge. Too much blood coming out of your arm. It looks like the knife hit a subclavian artery in your arm" Bayu said, explaining my condition and then held my wound back slightly.
"Your grip is too tight, brother. It hurts a little" I reminded him.
"But it's not that bad, is it, son?" ask mama to worry. In addition to worrying about seeing my condition, surely my mother also felt guilty because the battery became like this because it was trying to save her.
"Hopefully she is strong, aunt" replied Brother Bayu.
"What did you do to those five people?" I asked while pointing at the five corpses in the middle of the hall using my chin.
"I only injected them" replied Bayu.
"With poison? They died quickly" I asked.
"No! Just plain water that I made sure was injected right into his carotid artery so that no oxygen would get into their heads and their brains that water would break down as quickly as you would brainwash the fish are soft" replied Bayu.
I just nodded. A little understanding of the explanation because I first entered the IPA major while still in school.
"Where did the woman go" muttered Bayu's brother while making a woe.
Not long after, Johan came up with his disheveled look. And the look on his face was indecipherable. He must have been devastated to see his mother who again tried to hurt me and my mother.
"How are you doing, Lia?" asked Johan who was almost crying.
"I'm good, Jo. Sis Bayu has taken good care of me as well" I replied so that he did not feel too guilty.
"You're the right guy to be Lia's best friend, bro" suddenly Johan digresses, and I feel gleeful for the first time in my life.
"You don't joke, Jo" I said, and my cheeks were very hot.
"You know Lia. Aju feels very guilty for you, also for aunt Vivi who became like this because my mommy again after so many years have passed" Johan said while looking down.
Mama and I could only look at each other and get ready to hear Johan's outpouring again.
"I'm ashamed of you guys, I don't know what to do anymore. I can't even catch up to the mother who ran away. He got into the sidelines that I didn't fit into. Why can you find a way to escape in such a place" Johan said in a trembling voice.
I really can't bear to see it. I always forgave Johan, but certainly not his mother.
Aunt Ruby's grudge is already too high. There's no way to get rid of it other than to see my family destroyed. And I need to be more careful going forward.
"It's Jo, it's not all your fault. You will remain my best brother forever" I replied and made Johan look up to look at me.
"Good brother?" reworked.
"Sure" I replied while trying to display a smile even though it was difficult.
Not long after, there were sounds of footsteps from many people coming to us. I'm sure it's papa.
And sure enough, when papa has managed to get to this place, it is very visible facial expression of worry.
Papa ran in the front row, followed by some of his men and also men in brown uniforms.
Getting closer to us, papa passed through the corpse decks with a slight glare at them.
"You guys are fine, right? Why is there an ambulance coming?" ask me with a panicked face.
"Oh no! You hurt baby" said papa who realized that Bayu's big brother's hand was holding my arm tied to my jacket.
"Just a small wound, pa" I said with a spoiled smile, hoping that papa would not be more worried.
And when a group of medics came with his sign, I tried to get up with Bayu's brother who did not let go of his grasp.
Sure enough, when my body had just been able to stand up properly, my gaze was immediately unclear. Everything seemed to be going round and round and my stomach became nauseous.
But I haven't had time to spit out the contents in my stomach, my eyes have blackened.
And I collapsed even before I stepped even if it was just one step.
