Nadhira still keep pointing the knife to someone in front of him, even he never trust anyone but Rifki in his life. While the woman was still silent in her place while looking at Nadhira, with a gaze that was very difficult to interpret.
"You're going to kill me no problem, Dhira. I am not afraid to die in your hands. I have done so much wrong to you, and I apologize for everything to you. If by killing me you can forgive me, then do that to me."
"Why are you doing this? You know, your presence in my life is torturing me so much! You took everything from me! You and your mother have ruined my life. Because of you, I'm like this!"
The woman was crying because of Nadhira's words, can be seen why the heart of Nadhira broke all this time. He wanted to make up for his mistakes, but he did not know what to do to make up for it.
"I'm sorry," That's all the woman could say to Nadhira.
"I'm sorry you said? Are you sorry you could give it all back? You can't even change reality at all!"
"I can't change the past, but I can change the future. I'll do anything to get your forgiveness, I'll work on it."
"I don't need you."
Long enough the two faced each other at this time, even Nadhira did not take down his little knife at all. Once the heart is drawn, then the woman in front of him can be sure to die in an instant.
Not long after, Sena arrived with the members coming and circling the two. Nadhira was so surprised to see it, and immediately locked the movement of the woman in front of him.
"What do you mean! You set me up, ha!" Shouted Nadhira in the woman's ear.
"You've been surrounded here, Dhira. You won't be able to escape again,"
"I've guessed that you're not sincerely apologizing, Manda. You're liar!"
"Keep now what do you want?"
"You must die with me."
The woman is none other than Amanda, the half-sister of Nadhira himself. Currently Amanda is in Nadhira's captivity, even Amanda is being held captive by Nadhira using a small knife as well as his hands are locked by Nadhira.
"Dhira, let's get away slowly" Amanda whispered right in Nadhira's ear.
"What do you mean?" Tanya Nadhira astonished.
"Mama's not gonna hurt me, you're sure of me,"
Nadhira also looked around, no one seemed to dare to approach the two, even they seemed to be away because they were afraid if Amanda until why. Amanda is Sena's favorite, so they try to take care of her.
"Let go Manda!" Sena shouted when she saw the small knife pointed at her son's neck.
"No will! Once you get close, I'll kill Manda now" threatened Nadhira.
"Mama help me! I don't want to die now!" Shouted Amanda.
"Shut up!" Nadhira's Sentak to Amanda.
"Mama!"
Without Nadhira realizing that Amanda moved her hand to scratch the knife on her own neck, and immediately looks elongated red marks as well as blood that poured out.
"Manda!" Shouted Sena surprised.
"Arghhh..." Shouted Amanda.
"What are you doing?" Nadhira.
"Take me away, Dhira."
Nadhira was slowly stepping back and followed by Amanda, they were all immediately ready to stand guard in front of Nadhira. Nadhira immediately immediately took Amanda away from the place, when the distance between the two was far away Amanda immediately pulled Nadhira's hand to hide.
Both are now hiding in a hole under a bridge, and both bodies are covered by grass so that they are not seen by the person. The two can see that Sena and all his men are splitting up to look for the two of them.
Long enough they were there until the place looked so quiet because all were looking for both, Amanda also pulled Nadhira's hand to run away from the place because it did not want to waste the opportunity.
"Where are we going?" Nadhira asked while running pulled by Amanda.
"Find a safe place until Rifki comes, just trust me" Amanda replied as she continued to pull Nadhira's hand away from the place.
"Yes but where?"
"Not asked much."
Amanda still pulled Nadhira's hand to leave the place, tens of meters both continue to run between the thickets and trees. Even the two did not notice their footsteps at all, even their feet were injured by the sharp grass.
"Wait a minute. Doesn't this lead to a Flamboyant village?" Nadhira realizes that Amanda took him there.
"They will look for you in the Red Rose village, only the Flamboyant village is safe for now. After the explosion, the entire population left the place" Amanda explained.
"How did you know about the explosion?"
"There's a lot you don't know, Dhira. We'd better get there, and I'll explain everything to you later."
Amanda took him to the edge of a deserted highway, she also looked for a public transportation that passed there to take him away along with Nadhira. It took a long time and distance to reach the village of Flamboyan, therefore they needed public transportation to take him away.
There was a pick-up car parked at the end of the road, and it seems that the driver was not there. Amanda immediately invited Nadhira to climb aboard the pick-up car, and covered their bodies with a plastic tarp there.
Amanda did that because she heard from a distance the sound of Sena and her men coming, therefore they both had to hide to avoid them all. Nadhira and Amanda had to hold their breath when they accidentally heard Sena's voice talking to her men.
"Sir, did you see two women running here?" Sena asked a man who was about to ride to drive the pick up car.
"Nothing, Ma'am. Since it was quiet here," replied the driver.
"Quick check the freight, who knows they're inside." Sena's orders.
"Good Boss!" Excited some of Sena's men.
"What's the matter, huh?" The driver asked while preventing them from checking the contents of the pick-up.
Hearing that, Amanda and Nadhira clasped hands together to strengthen each other. Both know that until they are discovered, they will both be in danger.
The heart rate of both of them instantly turned very fast, even faster than running a marathon. The two continue to pray that someone will save both before it is too late, even unceasingly the two pray.
Nadhira looks like he is holding back the pain in his chest, even if to fight he will not be able to for now let alone fight many people like that. Seeing that, Amanda could only tightly grip Nadhira's hand with both hands to strengthen the woman.
Amanda tries to convince Nadhira by nodding her head slowly to Nadhira, Nadhira can only resign to her current fate, whether she will die at this time or later.
"Go, save yourself, Manda. Don't mind me" Nadhira said quietly and only whispered to Amanda.
"No Manda, I don't want to sacrifice anyone else."
"I'm your brother, not anyone else,"
"But..."
Nadhira also moved his hand to tell Amanda to shut up, he knew that Sena was now near him. Suddenly a cellphone ring sounded, and the driver of the pick-up car pulled out his phone.
"Why did the ship go belly up?" I heard someone angry from the phone.
"Sorry boss, still on the way." Answer the driver.
"It can work well! We are looking forward to the consumer!" His touch.
"Yes yes, Boss. It's less than a minute up,"
"All right, get us delivered quickly."
Without a word, the driver got into the car and immediately plugged the gas. Even Sena had not had time to check it, but the car had already sped away from the place.
"Woi don't run away!" Shouted one of Sena's men.
"Pursue them!" Sena's orders.
Some of his men immediately rushed away to pick up their private car by running away, they did not want to miss to catch up with Nadhira and Amanda.
"Pronounce the plate number" Sena said.
One of his men also recorded the license plate number of the pick-up car, so they could track it later when it missed the trail. On the one hand, Nadhira and Amanda were relieved because the car was running without being seen by Sena, both of them also opened the plastic tarpaulin cover in the car.
"Manda, your neck is full of blood" Nadhira said when he learned that half of Amanda's clothes had turned blood red. Amanda even forgot about the injury, but she only remembered when Nadhira said it.
"No problem" Amanda replied casually.
"It needs to be treated immediately, Manda. It's gonna be an infection,"
"Most importantly we're free from Mama Sena, Dhira. It'll be taken care of later,"
Hearing someone speak in the back, it immediately made the driver of the pick-up car stop the speed of his car. Therefore, Nadhira and Amanda also clashed with each other because it stopped suddenly like that.
"Who are you?" Ask the driver and he is standing in front of the two women.
"My brother is hurt, sir. May we hitchhike so that he can be treated immediately" Nadhira said expectantly.
"I'm busy. You'd better get down now, "Push the man.
"Sir, please let us hitchhike to the front. We promise it won't be troublesome later, look at him being hurt so badly."
"Don't you two be the ones people were looking for, huh? I don't want to get involved in any of your problems, you better get out of this car right away."
"I can pay more than what you bring, sir. Give us a ride up ahead" Amanda said.
"How much are you going to pay?"
"10 million, just up the road ahead. Is it less?"
"All right, just get to the front. After that you two go down immediately, because I don't want to get involved in your problems."
"Thank you, sir." Answer the two in unison.
The driver returned to drive the pick-up car, and they drove back from the place. Nadhira and Amanda sat looking at the road they were on, both of them could only remain silent without a word.
Both of them could only sit quietly while staring at the surroundings, the quiet streets increasingly added to the peaceful atmosphere there. Nadhira's mind could not focus at this time, he arrived at mind with Rifki who was far from him at this time.
"We'll just go back to Rifki's house, Manda. I suddenly felt unsettled" Nadhira said.
"But there's danger, Dhira. If we go back, it'll endanger everything, do you want that to happen?"
"But what about him, Manda? I can't calm down."
"Calm down, Dhira, she'll be fine. There are Gengcobra members who will protect him there, you're sure of Bayu, Reno, Dawn, Vano and the others, right? You have to be sure they can protect Rifki."
"But what if he's why, Manda? I won't be able to forgive myself until something happens to her,"
"I know you're worried about him, but for now please think about your own life. He'll have trouble fighting them later, if you're with him and ruin his focus."
"I can't leave him like this, Manda. I don't care if my life's at stake, as long as he's okay."
"Do you want to be caught by them? If you get arrested then how do you feel? Do you like to see Rifki worry about you."
The question from Amanda made Nadhira immediately silent, he did not want it to happen but his feelings could not be lied to that he was worried about Rifki. He wants to come back, but for now he can't do that.
Nadhira just stared blankly at the street in front of him, his feelings even felt like nothing for now. What Amanda said had a point, and she did not want to act rashly for the matter with Sena this time.
"Rifki, I hope you're okay. I do not want and will never be willing if you hurt even a little bit," said Nadhira shrieked and immediately made Amanda clasped Nadhira's hand tightly.
"Be assured to Allah, Dhira. That your husband's gonna be okay,"
"Hopefully, Manda. I hope he's okay."
*****
Rifki continued to run towards the place where he promised to meet Nadhira there, even his men until far behind because of the rapid ranking he ran. He didn't even care about himself, as his mind kept on going to Nadhira.
"Dhira, forgive me for being careless," Gimana said as she continued to run.
Rifki continued to run without caring for her breath hunting due to running, even she continued to run looking for the existence of Nadhira. When he reached that place, he was increasingly agitated because he did not find the existence of Nadhira.
"Dhira! The dhira! Where are you!" Shouted Rifki who kept looking for Nadhira around the place.
Rifki did not find the existence of Nadhira at all, and it immediately made him suddenly become unsettled let alone remember the short message he got earlier.
Rifki is increasingly panicked because he did not find the existence of Nadhira, even the land he stepped on can be seen that there has been a fight in that place. It makes her feelings more unfulfilled, even she feels like she failed to help the woman she loves.
"I'll never let you why, honey. Even if I had to sacrifice my own life, I can't live without you for even a second."
