Chapter 96 Searching for the Existence of Clara


"Hurry and get him to the hospital" Juan ordered.


His men immediately take Jhony to the hospital, while he and Bagas continue to comb the area around to find Clara. But until midnight they did not get any news about Clara. Juan was so shocked, he regretted Clara's actions were too rash.


Two people are seriously injured, even Clara has not met. Juan can't sleep all night in the hospital guarding Jhony with Bagas. After Bagas persuaded that tomorrow he had the energy to find Clara back then Juan wanted to sleep.

While Clara had made it to the settlement, she collapsed right in front of a resident's house. Because it was night they brought Clara into the house and treated her. All night Clara was dying, her body hot. They give herbal remedies to reduce the pain. After a while the heat dropped, he could rest again quietly.


As the sun began to rise, Clara opened her eyes. He tried to remember what happened to him and tried to get out of bed.


"You're aware, son? How are you doing now?" ask a mother to him.


"I'm fine, did Mom help me?" ask Clara.


"Yes, you fainted in front of the house. Just call me Siti's mom" she replied.


"Thank you Siti. I have to go, Mom, friends are still up there with the bad guys, I have to ask for help" said Clara.


"Don't kid, you're still weak. Rest first, let me tell the men here to help you who are still at the top," prevent Bu Siti.


"But Mom, I'm worried about my best friend's situation" said Clara.


"You wait here, I'll call people to go upstairs" replied Siti.


A few minutes later came a crowd of people carrying all sorts of equipment to attack. It turns out that they have been told by Siti about Jhony who is still stuck at the top.


"You don't have to go, you're very weak. Rest in this ru mah Bu Siti, you will bring your friends here," said the front man.


"They're dangerous sir, they've got a gun" Clara replied.


" We'll be careful, you don't worry, please pray for us all to be safe" he said.


Clara nodded weakly, her head still throbbing, all over her body ached. During the escape seeking settlement he continued to run without rest for fear of being overtaken.


After the men go to help Jhony, Siti helps wipe Clara's body and replaces her with hers. He pityed to see the state of Clara, he remembered the late daughter who had died by suicide after being tainted by someone.


"Mom, thank you for helping me. I'd like to call my family to pick up, do you have a cell phone?" ask Clara.


"Together son, it is our duty as fellow human beings to help each other. But sorry, we just ordinary people do not have expensive objects such as cell phones," replied Siti.


"After Jhony succeeds in helping us we have to go home soon, Mom, our family must be very worried" said Clara.


"Of course, son, we'll take you to your family. Oh, what's your name?" ask Siti.


"Call me Clara, Mom. Again, thank you" replied Clara.


"Rest first it's still early morning, I'll just make breakfast first yes," he said.


Clara nodded slowly, minutes later her eyes had closed indicating she had fallen asleep. I don't know how long he slept, but his body felt fresh when he woke up. It runs towards the back, intending to find Siti's mom.


"Mom, haven't you gone home yet?" ask Clara.


"Alhamdulillah then, hopefully nothing happens to friends only Jhony," said Clara.


"Wait for your father to come home from the rice field soon yes, he will immediately drive you home," replied Siti.


"Thank you, Mom. I'm sorry I've been a hassle" said Clara.


"No trouble really, let's eat first. from now on you haven't eaten anything," invited bu Siti.


Clara was initially not tasteful, she thought of her brother and Juan who must be worried about her. Moreover, Jhony's condition is also not known, where he might have an appetite. But after being persuaded by Siti, he finally wanted to eat even if only a little.

Meanwhile Bagas and Juan had been looking for Clara everywhere, they combed their place around yesterday to comb the surrounding mountain slopes, but still nil.


"Mas, let's ask the villagers there. Maybe they've seen Clara," Bagas said.


Juan looked at the settlement under those whom Bagas had appointed with hope.


"What if Clara's not found, Gas? What if Indra manages to catch him again?" juan asked suddenly with tears.


"Propheme, we will fight until the last blood point to find it. Clara's a strong girl, she must be fine," comfort Bagas.


"Hopefully we can find him soon, he must be scared after what happened" Juan said.


"Come, is it still strong? If we're tired we just rest first" asked Bagas to see Juan look tired.


"I'm okay, we don't waste time. Clara must be found immediately, otherwise I will involve the police to look for her" he replied.


Bagas did not reply, he understood Juan's feelings which must have been very worrying. Moreover, seeing the condition of Bella and Jhony who were seriously injured, how could he possibly calm down.


They took a fairly difficult road to get to the residential area.


"Excuse me sir, I'm looking for my future wife. Yesterday he managed to escape from a man of evil intentions, maybe he got lost in this village" Juan explained.


"How is Mas?" ask the father.


"She was beautiful, her hair was long, she was about 17 years old" Juan replied.


"Oh looks like that girl who is in Siti's bu place, she asked the villagers to help her friend who is still upstairs, but after we get there her friend is no longer there," obviously that father.


"We've brought his friend to the hospital, can you take us to Siti's house?" juan asked impatiently.


"May, let me drop off" he replied.


They walked about 500 meters, then stopped at a green house.


"Assalamualaikum, this Lady Siti is looking for the girl you found," the father called half-calling.


"Loh, just now Nak Clara left," said Ms. Siti teetered out of the house.
