THE LIFE OF A MAN
EPISODE 10'S

Happy reading ......

“WHERE’S ANTHONY?! (WHERE IS ANTHONY?!)”

Son realizes Anthony's absence between Rery and Madelaine's body.

“They took him (They brought him)”

Son immediately grabbed the shoulder of another – men who were with Larry who he happened to know as well. “When?! (When?!)”

“About fifteen minutes ago (About fifteen minutes ago)”

“Dam! Go get Rery’s motor cycle! (Dam! Go get the motor Rery!)” Putra Seru.

“I’m so sorry Son, I can’t help Anth, when they look him. That guy who took Anthony brought a lot of men with

guns in their hands. I even have to hide with some people who saw when that evil men came here”

“I'm sorry Son, I couldn't help Anth, when they took him. There were many armed men accompanying the man who was carrying Anthony. I even had to hide with some other people who saw the cruel man coming here”

The man who was with Larry explained to the Son with a face full of regret.

Son of mangosteen – mangosteen on the man.

“It’s okay, I can understand (Not why, I understand)” Sahut Putra.

Then the sound of the motorcycle horn following Damian's scream from the direction of the rear garage of Rery's private residence was heard.

“Ad, please take care Rery and Madelaine. You .. you - prepare funeral for them .. (Ad, please take care of Rery and Madelaine. You... you – prepare a funeral for them)..”.

The throat of the Son was choked, a tear fell again on his cheek.

“I will Son. I will (Definitely Son. Surely)” Sahut Addison who then looked at the bodies of Rery and Madelaine who was being stared at by the Son with so sad.

‘I will do my best, to save Anthony .. (I will try my best to save Anthony.)’

The son was sad and poignant.

‘So long Rery ... Madelaine .. and I’m sorry ... (Good road Rery.. Madelaine ... and forgive me) ..’

Then the Son turned to Addison and Larry and the man who was with Larry, the – people who were there

in the front yard it has started to enter and help clean up Rery's residence which has been messed up with many bullet traces there. “Try to save Anthony, Son (Try to save Anthony, Son)”

The son nodded slowly while wiping away his tears.

“I trust them to you, Ad. Don't wait for me and Dami to do their funeral (I trust them to you, Ad. Do not wait for me and Dami for their funeral ceremony)” Said the Son to Addison who immediately nodded and the Son rushed to go to Damian who was ready on Rery's motorbike.

***

Damian proposes the Rery motorbike he uses from Rery's private garage after Putra gets on his back

chasing where Anthony was taken by the man who had slaughtered Rery and Madelaine, the two men knew exactly who did it.

“Where do you think Jaeden took Anthony? (Where do you think Jaeden took Anthony?”

“Follow the tyre tracks! (Follow tire tracks!)” The son pointed at the street in front of them and indeed the ground was printing

car tires that are still running straight.

“Okay! (OK!)” Damian then increased the speed of the motor. “I wish we are not late to save Anth! (I

hope we're not too late to save Anth!)”

The son did not reply. Honestly speaking, Putra was feeling doubtful at this moment as he was only alone with Damian to try

saving Anthony.

Jaeden had many armed men with him. But the Son will try his utmost to save Anthony for the redemption of his guilt for what befell Rery and Madelaine.

“Now where should we go now, Son? (Which way are we going now, Son?)” Ask Damian who stopped

the bike, because the road in front of it is divided in two.

“SIGNORE! (SIR!)” A pair of men and women were seen calling out to Son and Damian by waving their hands.

The son asked hurriedly at the two.

And the two men told Putra that they saw the car carrying Anthony leading to the dock that Rery and his people used to go to.

The son and Damian immediately drove to the pier which was meant by the two people they met just now.

“You know the other way to get inside the quayside don’t you, Dam?! (You know another way to get inside

the dock isn't, Dam?!)”

“Yes, I know! (Yes, I know!)” Damian's fast. “I will take that way so Jaeden won’t know our appearance! (I

will pass that road so Jaeden won't know our arrival!)”

Son nodded.

“I wish we were not late (I hope we are not late)”

****

“I wonder why Jaeden took Anthony? (I wonder why Jaeden brought Anthony?)”

Son and Damian have reached the dock, a place that allegedly visited Jaeden and – people who brought Anthony forcibly. And I don't know what Jaeden's plan is to bring Anthony in after killing Rery and Madelaine.

“Whatever the reason is, that must be not good (Whatever the reason, it is definitely not good)”

Damian had turned off his motorbike outside the dock and walked – settles with the Son with a weapon that was ready in their hands. They no longer talk to each other.

Son and Damian were coding with their eyes and head and hand movements. Then same – same

surrounding his view around the dock that looks quiet. The son coded Damian to walk over to the inside of the pier.

“......”

The son and Damian looked at each other, after their ears heard a slight noise near the fender dock.

Son and Damian cocked their guns.

Although they feel this effort is the luck they rely on because Putra and Damian believe they must be outnumbered by – people Jaeden. But the two men have a strong determination to try to save Anthony, the son of their best friend and boss.

“Cover me, Dam (Protect me, Dam)” Say Son.

The son walked by still sitting in front of Damian while holding strong weapons in both hands that he had positioned to be ready to shoot if there was an attack.

“Okay”

Son and Damian were still talking to each other in half whispers. The son walks first, and Damian keeps his guard

a little distance from the Son but Damian was also on standby with his weapon.

“What do you see Son? (What do you see Son?)”

“Herder (Mount of people)”

“Jaeden and his men? (Jaeden and people – people?)”

“Seems not (Looks not)”

The son dared to walk slowly towards the crowd he saw. But he remains vigilant.

Damian is standing by behind the Son.

“Signore Son?! (Master Son?!)”

Someone who had seen running recognized and called the Son.

“Oh Dio, Signore Son ... (Oh Lord, Mr. Son) ...” Said the man.

The Son's heart was a little relieved because the person he had seen running in haste was someone he recognized as one of the few guards of the dock.

“Signore.. (Sir.) Anthony ...” The words of the man called Lave made Putra and Damian tickle.

“Sai dov'e?! (You know where he is?!) “Si! (Yes!)”

“Dov'e?! (Where?!)”

Lave pointed in the first straight direction behind him, where several people gathered there.

Putra and Damian immediately turned towards Lave's index finger and ran quickly there.

“Prender la macchina. Anthony deve essere portato immediateamente in ospedale (I'll take the car. Anthony should be taken to Hospital immediately)”

Lave spoke to Damian because Putra had already run to look at Anthony with a feeling and a face so anxious and scared to death.

***

“So, what are you going to do with this kid Jaeden? (So, what do you want to do with this kid Jaeden?)”

“Don’t tell me that you want to take care of him (Don't tell me if you want to babysit him)”

“Heh”

“.......”

“I’m planning to send him to a very far and isolated place (I plan to send him to a distant place

and remote)”

“.....”

“But I think I change my mind (But I think I changed my mind)”

"......"

“I don’t want taking any risk in the future (I don't want to take any risks in the future)”

“So? (So?)”

“Send him to meet his parents (Send him to see his parents)”

“Do you want to do the honor or should I? (You will do that honor or me?)”

“Hm. do not use gun (do not use weapon)”

“Drowned him (Sink him)”

Author’s POV

The Son's feet immediately went limp when he saw Anthony whose face was already pale and his body was wet.

Anthony was indeed wrapped in a thick cloth by those who helped Anthony when he saw the little boy thrown from a ship.

Even so those who saw him could not help Anthony immediately, because they saw – people who had boarded a ship with Anthony they knew, all carrying weapons.

And from their appearance, – people in the dock at least think that those who bring Anthony are – bad people who might want to kidnap Anthony.

Because at that time those at the dock had not heard what had happened to Rery and his wife and

what happened in Rery's private residence.

But even so, because they know Anthony and because Rery has been known as a good person and philanthropist, as well as his wife, Madelaine.

So those at the dock agreed to help Anthony, but did not act immediately.

Some will follow the ship carrying Anthony, but then they immediately run their small boat to the place where Anthony was thrown into the water after the ship boarded by a number of mafia people was away.

A little late indeed, because they made sure that the ship carrying – people who threw Anthony into the water was far away so that they did not see if there was a small ship containing some people from the dock who wanted to help Anthony who had been drowning in unconsciousness.

After several people from the dock reach the point where Anthony is thrown into the water, four

people immediately threw themselves in to save Anthony. The little boy's face was quite pale when found and immediately lifted onto the ship and given first aid.

Anthony coughed, then glanced at his father and mother, and then he returned unconscious.

And this is where Anthony is now, just a few minutes to reach the dock when Putra and Damian come.

Author’s POV off

****

“Anthony!”

The son immediately approached Anthony whose face was already pale.

“Dobbiamo portarlo in ospedale (We have to take him to hospital)”

“Lave prandendo la macchina!(Lave is taking the car!)”

“Come Son! let us take Anth to hospital as soon as possible! (Come Son! We need to get Anth to

hospital as soon as possible!)” Damian hastily.

“Take your motor cycle! It is a fantastic than car! (Take your bike! It's faster than car)”

The son exclaimed at Damian who immediately nodded and immediately ran to pick up his bike. And Son

himself immediately raised the body of Anthony who, although still breathing, but already looked weak.

‘Hold on, Anth...... (Hold on, Anth) ..’ Son is batin lirih.

Then Putra thanked the – people who helped Anthony at the dock. And ask them all not to spread the word about this survivor Anthony.

“Si, Signore Son (Yes, Mr. Son)”

The – people of the dock agree.

Although they do not know exactly what happened, but they understand that the request of Rery's confidant is for Anthony's safety. By not looking at Rery as well to save his son, – people in the dock at least have guessed that something might have happened to Rery, even though Putra did not explain it.

“Grazie! (Thank you!)”

Son once again thanked the – person and went straight up the bike while holding tight and strong Anthony, after Damian came immediately.

****

“Do not go to the Dam hospital! (Don't go to Dam's hospital!)”

“But Anthony's.... (But Anthony)...” Damian was about to say, but the son spoke again.

“Too Risky if we bring Anthony to Dam hospital. We don’t know if Jaeden or Yanni know someone at there who

probably will inform them about Anthony and Jaeden could be came back or sent someone to kill Anth”

“(Too risky if we take Anthony to Dam hospital. We don't know if Jaeden or Yanni

get to know someone there who might just inform you about Anthony and Jaeden likely to come back or get someone to kill Anth)”

The son with his thoughts he knew was at risk if he didn't take Anthony to the hospital to

get treatment immediately. But Putra also did not want the matter of Anthony who survived widely spread.

“I know a place (I know a place)”
