My Life Partner [On Going.].
#8: Night Journey

"Kevin Abraham's.. You never change" said Steven Chan, sipping his drink..

After finishing dinner with Steven Chan, they both left for Jakarta. Dara became very confused, I don't know what his current boss is thinking because so suddenly he decided to return to Jakarta tonight also with his condition is currently drunk.

"It's not good to drive when you're drunk" Kevin recalled.

When remembering the words of Steven Chan, Kevin immediately stopped the speed of his car suddenly to make Dara's forehead hit the car glass, because at that time he was not wearing a seatbelt.

"Buuggg..!!!".

"You're fine Ms. Dara?", asked Kevin worriedly while rubbing Dara's forehead.

"Yes, I'm fine" Dara replied as she let go of Kevin's hand that touched her forehead.

"I'm sorry.", sorry Kevin.

"I'm fine, then what about Mr Kevin???", asked Dara.

"I'm fine" Kevin replied.

For a moment Kevin stopped his vehicle on the edge of a very quiet highway. He got out of his car and brought a bottle of mineral water to wash his face, so that the drunkenness caused by alcoholic beverages can disappear.

"Why did I drink wine before, when I didn't want to drink it??" muttered Kevin feeling confused as he rubbed his face violently.

"What is Mr Kevin's condition now?", asked Dara began to worry as she approached Kevin.

"I'm better" Kevin replied with a sigh.

"Sir Kevin what if we go back to the hotel and spend the night there??? Tomorrow morning we will go back to Jakarta", said Dara.

"No way, we will continue our journey to Jakarta tonight" said Kevin firmly.

"But, Mr. Kevin", said Dara.

"Why, are you afraid?", asked Kevin chuckling.

"No.. I'm not afraid" Dara replied, turning her back to Kevin.

When Dara wanted to step up to leave, her steps came to a halt as Kevin hugged her from behind. He hugged Dara tightly and said..

"You don't have to worry about anything because there's me next to you" said Kevin as he kissed Dara's cheek.

So shocked was Dara by what Kevin had done to her that he made his eyes become rounded and his mouth silenced unable to say a word..

Now Dara's heartbeat seems to be increasingly beating quickly not when his body is turned until right opposite Kevin.

Kevin looked at Dara's eyes with eyes full of meaning and slowly he began to caress her skin gently, making Dara's face start to blush like an apple..

"Hey..!!! Ms. Dara what are you doing??? Are you daydreaming??? Oh my God what are you daydreaming about these nights in a quiet place like this???!", asked Kevin clucking in wonder.

Dara immediately regained consciousness when she heard the pounding of Kevin's loud voice and it turned out that it was just his daydream.

"Yes my.. It seems like I've gone crazy imagining things that are not-not in a place like????!", Dara's mind was confused.

Dara's face was now completely reddish like a shrimp that had just been boiled, so ashamed of herself that Kevin did not look at her with a mind that was not-no to him.

To divert it, Dara took by force the bottle of mineral water that her boss was holding.

"Hey, what are you doing??!!", Kevin was surprised.

"I'm sorry, Mr Kevin, I'm asking for the mineral water??? It seems like I'm getting sleepy" replied Dara with a stiff smile.

"Take it for you!!! If you're done washing your face, we'll continue our journey" Kevin said.

They also continued their journey home. Along the way as usual the two of them just fell silent to each other in the absence of words.

"If you're so sleepy, you better get some sleep. I'm not drunk anymore so you don't have to worry, we'll make it to the destination" Kevin said, keeping his driving focus.

"I can't sleep, I'll keep Mr. Kevin driving until we get to Jakarta" Dara said.

"You're the sleepyhead, where maybe you can't sleep!!!", inner kevin chuckled.

"Yes Mr Kevin, does Mr Kevin need anything???", asked Dara.

"Oh, there's no. I was just singing!!!", replied Kevin stuttering.

"Kevin, what are you thinking??? Until you look stupid in front of your subordinates!!", inward Kevin.

The trip is very long but feels faster because along the road there is no congestion until half the journey home can be traveled. But the two of them still remain silent without greeting each other like strangers who do not know each other, until so quiet atmosphere there.

"Why does it feel like something is stuck" Dara's inner.

"It turns out that the sleepy man was right, he didn't sleep at all. He's still awake accompanying me driving", Kevin's inner self.

The longer it felt increasingly quiet and in the end Kevin broke the silence that occurred between the two of them, but the greeting of Kevin seemed not to make Dara realized from his daydream.

"Hey the sleepyhead!!! Don't you feel sleepy??", asked Kevin.

"Hey!!", asked Kevin.

"Well, just this time a Kevin Abraham did not respond by a woman!!! Very annoying!!", grumbled Kevin.

Not in response at all by his subordinates, as if Kevin began to get inflamed and he immediately sounded the horn of his car to make Dara scream hysterically.

"Akh..!!!", cried Dara hysterically as she closed her eyes.

"Hey Miss, you're fine!!!", asked Kevin in a panic as he stepped on the brake pedal of his car.

"Huh, huh.. Yes Sir, yes Mr Kevin!!!", replied Dara with a gasp of breath.

"What are you thinking Miss??" asked Kevin as he looked at Dara anxiously as his face paled.

"Almost I had a heart attack, Mr Kevin!!! Your dress is outrageous" said Dara furiously as she opened her seatbelt.

"I'm sorry, Miss!!! I didn't mean to surprise you like this" Kevin regretted.

Now change the turn of Dara who did not receive an apology from Kevin for his silly actions, so with his anger that began to peak, Dara began to direct his hand right on Kevin's face.

"Tiiidddaaakkkk!!!", cried Kevin while covering his face with both hands.

"Sir Kevin, Mr Kevin, what's the matter, sir??!!", asked Dara anxiously with her palm waving right in front of her Boss' face.

"Damn, why now so I'm imagining the no-no!!! Is this the effect of the wine I drank earlier??? But no way, I'm not drunk anymore", Kevin said.

"Sir Kevin seems tired, can I replace Mr. Kevin driving???", Pinta Dara.

"Thank you, but I'm fine so you don't have to worry" Kevin replied as he re-run his car.

"Alright Mr. Kevin", said Dara smiling knots.

"Can you drive a car???", asked Kevin.

"Yes, can be Mr. Kevin", replied Dara.

"Wow it turns out that you have more abilities that I don't know about" Kevin said.

"Well, Mr Kevin, do you often travel on nights like this???" asked Dara.

"Why are you asking that again? Are you scared?", asked Kevin.

"Ah.no, I just ask" said Dara.

Instantly Dara became reminded of her night trip when she left her residence in Bandung about 2 months ago. When the atmosphere became quiet again, seeing Dara who turned silent Kevin snapped his finger right in front of his eyes.

Dara also regained consciousness with her smile that looked very stiff..

"What are you thinking??? Were you sick after you drowned??? Because you've always been daydreaming!!", asked Kevin.

"Thank God if you're healthy and well" said Kevin smiling .

Now the silence between the two of them had vanished and the two of them talked to each other along the way. Until it did not feel finally they also entered the border area of Jakarta, but immediately Kevin again stopped the pace of his car because in front of him there was a vehicle that blocked him.

They were both very surprised when they saw 4 large-bodied men coming out of the car that had blocked the speed of the car.

"Sir Kevin who are they all??" asked Dara anxiously.

"I don't know who they are, but you're not getting out of this car. You have to stay here, despite what will happen to me later" Kevin said as he looked into Dara's eyes.

"I'll call the police now" Dara said.

"Free of it, they won't come that fast" said Kevin and went out of the car and locked him up.

Dara was shocked to see Kevin outside the car without telling her first. Dara was increasingly panicked and confused about what she should do because her cellphone battery was running out so she could not call the police.

Out there Kevin began to confront four men who are not known to him.

"What is your interest in stopping our journey?", asked Kevin firmly.

"Nothing, just a coincidence" said one of the men.

Without further ado, one of the other men begins to attack Kevin, so the fist cannot be ignored. Kevin was not only staying silent, he put all the abilities he had to fight.

Kevin punched and kicked one by one of the four of them until they fell down right in front of Kevin. None of them knew who was the opponent of the four of them, he was a former Taekwondo coach.

The four men are not out of their minds, they are still looking for other ways to paralyze Kevin, so the four of them pulled out the sharp weapons he carried.

Looking from inside the car, Dara could do nothing but pray for her Boss to be safe, however, the situation is increasingly urgent to require Dara to immediately get out of the car because behind his Boss there is a man carrying a sharp weapon wants to stab him from behind.

Dara immediately opened the car door and ran quickly towards the man who was about to injure his boss. Then Dara hit the man on the shoulder with her high heels..

"Feel this!!!", cried Dara filled with anger.

Spontaneously the man immediately shouted in pain and immediately removed himself from the presence of Kevin.

"Miss why you got out of the car, I told you not to get out of there no matter what happens to me!!!", said Kevin reminded him with his gasping breath.

"I can't just sit in the car when I see someone who wants to wear Mr. Kevin" said Dara panicked.

"You stay behind me, if you can run right in the car" Kevin ordered.

The four of them began to attack Kevin again, this time they all pulled out other sharp weapons that they had deliberately prepared.

Dara's safety is becoming increasingly threatened, Kevin was trying with the ability he had to continue to protect Dara. Seeing Kevin who was increasingly overwhelmed trying to fight and protect Dara, making the four men more turbulent blindly to attack Kevin.

When there was a gaping gaping gap that seemed to be visible to Kevin, the odds were not simply ignored by either of the men, without a doubt the man immediately pointed his dagger right at Dara.

Kevin looked with observance at the danger coming towards Dara, he quickly grabbed Dara's body and hugged her while protecting her from threats until one of Kevin's left arms was hit by a dagger.

Inevitable attacks from one of the men and with the rush of fresh blood began to flow from Kevin's left arm to make Dara more panic...

"Please.. Justjust please.. Please..!!!", cried Dara hysterically.

From a distance there was a vehicle that would pass, then without wasting time the gunmen immediately left the place with a very fast car.

After the four of them left from there, Dara immediately propped up her recently injured Boss from one of the four of them. Dara also tried to ask for help from the driver of the car that will pass but Kevin refused, it seemed to make Dara become confused with what his current boss thinks.

"Sir Kevin why don't we ask for help distributing cars that have just passed, this is an emergency?", asked Dara in surprise.

"No need, not necessarily that person can help us" Kevin replied.

"All right, Mr. Kevin. But now what about you??? I'm sorry, this is all because of my negligence.!!!", said Dara sadly and regretfully.

"I'm fine, you don't have to feel guilty like that. Because it's my duty as a man to protect a woman" Kevin said.

Listening to the words from her Boss, Dara just looked at her face with nanar. And slowly Dara grabs Kevin's body to get him into the car.

After Kevin was sitting in the car, Dara began to see a wound on his Boss' arm. So it looks a very terrible wound for Kevin, but not for Dara because the thing he saw was common to him. Dara slowly began to roll up the long sleeves of her Boss' shirt, making it faintly visible how deep the wound was from the dagger's blade.

"Sir Kevin, is there any P3K equipment??" asked Dara.

"It seems to be inside the dashboard of this car", Kevin replied with a grimacing tone of voice enduring the pain.

Dara immediately took a small box that was inside the car dashboard. Then slowly Dara opened the small box, which contained some medicines inside.

Dara deftly washed both palms with alcohol to sterilize both hands and then opened the gauze roll that happened to be there.

Dara painstakingly cleaned the wound on her Boss' arm until the scarred incision from the dagger blade was seen. Thank God the wound did not look too deep so it did not hit his blood vessels.

So much gauze was needed to seal the incision wound that was on his Boss' arm, that the flowing blood could immediately stop. But the gauze in this small box has been used up, so it requires Dara to tear the beautiful gown from Steven Chan.

"What are you doing, why are you tearing your own dress??? Didn't you really like the dress that Steven Chan gave you???!", asked Kevin puzzledly.

"This injury must be closed immediately so that Mr. Kevin does not lose more blood, because this is very dangerous if left alone" said Dara while tearing his dress and then wrapped around Kevin's arm.

Kevin only fell silent because he was amazed to see Dara who was very dexterous and meticulous when treating his wounds. And sometimes Kevin whimpers to endure the pain he feels.

"Please be patient Mr. Kevin soon I will finish winding your wounds" said Dara.

Kevin nodded and obeyed what Dara had ordered. In silence without Dara realizing it turns Kevin continues to look at his face without blinking. Dara's face still looks dazzling even though her makeup has faded, plus her right dimple further completes the perfection of her beauty.

Now it was as if the feelings of guilt, fatigue and anxiety in Dara's heart disappeared, after she finished treating her Boss' wounds.

"Ok Mr. Kevin is now finished" said Dara.

It seems kevin is still daydreaming while still looking at Dara's face, until Dara's words are not even in the words of Kevin.

Dara again tried to reprimand Kevin but still there was no response from him, until Dara deliberately pressed Kevin's wound as hard as he could to respond immediately.

"Awww.!!!", cried Kevin in pain.

"Sir Kevin, I'm done treating your wounds. But is Mr Kevin okay???", asked Dara.

"Oh, yes thank you. I'm fine, I just want to know what their motives are for attacking us" Kevin said.

"Why didn't Kevin just report to the police??? In order to be revealed what their motives really are?, said Dara.

"No need, I don't want to make my family anxious because of this" Kevin said.

Right at 1 am Kevin also invited Dara to temporarily spend the night in this car, but firmly Dara refused an offer from his Boss.

"With my condition like this I won't be able to drive, so follow my words" Kevin said while enduring the pain.

"No, I don't want to linger in this place. Because I don't want those criminals coming back here" Dara said.

"Then who's driving this car???" asked Kevin.

They continued their journey back to Jakarta, but this time it was Dara who was driving. Kevin forgot that Dara could drive, and was used to driving at high speed, making Kevin very worried about the safety of both of them.

"Can you reduce the speed of this car?", cried Kevin.

"Can't sir, I want to get to my boarding house quickly" cried Dara.

"Can't, you have to come with me to my apartment" cried Kevin.

After listening to Kevin's words immediately Dara stepped on the brake pedal of the car suddenly, making Kevin very surprised.

"Gosh..!!! Do you want to kill yourself??!!", cried Kevin.

"I'm not going home with Mr Kevin to the apartment??? I don't want to!!! I'm going home to my boarding house" said Dara anxiously.

"This is your own boss's order, no objection whatsoever. Did you forget that contract??? Do I need to remind you???", Kevin threatened.

"Basan jerk, in this condition alone he can still threaten me with his power!!!", Dara complained in anger.
