YOUNG DETECTIVE
96. Aquaphobia

Via continued to chase after Udin who ran incessantly calling his mother. Run towards the cardboard houses that were burning. Seeing that his house had been engulfed by the red hero, made him imprisoned and his crying became more and more.

"Yetoo.."

Udin looked at Via who was opening his mask gasping for breath. Seeing the boy cry out in confusion, not making Via pity, but making him smile on his side.

"How's your mom doing, boy?"

"This is Mak's job?" he asked again as if in disbelief.

Via walked towards Udin who was crying sat down to see his house which began to leave debris that was no longer shaped.

"Tell me where is your Mom at this time?!"

Udin stared at Via softly. He bowed then his body limply sighed heavily.

"Sister, help me to stop Mak. I don't like it when Mak is always the bad guy."

Via helped Udin to stand back up. Then stand down to align his height with Udin.

"What exactly is your Mak after, to do such a thing?"

Udin, who had been looking into Via's eyes fixedly, again bowed down feeling confused how to explain the events by his mother lately.

"While Udin knew, Mak did all this to make money so that we could both eat Sis," Udin seemed to recall something, his eyes wildly looking around Via.

"Where was the handsome brother yesterday, brother?"

Via re-established his body standing with one hand on the waist, another hand stroking his chin also thought about where the position of Deval and Mak Iroh at this time.

Suddenly Udin pulled Via and ran. Via followed Udin and kept him running. Seen by them, the wreckage of a cardboard house that has left charcoal and ash. Udin continued to pull Via towards an increasingly quiet place on a riverbank. Finally they reached a dead end surrounded by a river, finding Deval in a position in the arms of Mak Iroh, with a dagger ready to draw his throat.

"Maaaac??" pekik Udin chased after his mother.

"Mak..Mak... release him Mak?!" pinta Via is getting closer. He remembered this incident exactly the same when Captain I Bagus Suska got a serious wound due to the tip of the knife enough to injure his throat. 

But for him this time is different, at that time Captain I Bagus Suska was not a top priority for him. This time, who was ready to be unsheathed by the tip of the blade was the man who filled his heart. The one who sang in his dream.

"Mak.. Ma'am. I beg you to let him go!"

Deval is in that squashed position, trying to break away. Udin tries to pull his mother to release Deval.

"You get out of here!" the middle-aged woman snapped at the child.

"Mom, off Maaak..," the child continued to pull the hand of his mother who held Deval.

"You get out of here!" then the other hand that had clamped Deval, was used to push his son.

Deval has a chance to break away. While Udin was driven by his mother, it turned into a river that was right behind them.

"Sir, blup..blup.." Udin's strangulation disappeared into the river's surface. 

Mak Iroh who had focused on threatening Via using Deval, glanced at his son who was almost drowned on the surface of the river deep enough for the little boy.

"DIIYINN!!!" pekik Mak Iroh pushes Deval who accidentally scratches Deval's neck a little.

"Aaarrgghhtt.." cried out Deval to make Via's heart turn rogue.

"Devaaall.." the girl immediately chased after Deval, checking the condition of the incision the guy had just found.

"Gue's fine!" the man replied even though his facial expression was very clear describing how painful the incision was. Deval calmed Via down, then ran towards the river and went straight into the river trying to save the little boy.

He had a bad experience dealing with water since the age of five. He drowned in swimming class. Since then, he has had trouma and phobias in water.  Including things related to other water, be it rivers, lakes, or the sea.

He bowed, his breath tight. Deval who threw himself into the river again made him remember in the past drowned almost dead when he was a child. He prostrated himself on the grass beside the river, feeling an incredible feeling.

Deval has come to the surface while lifting and pulling the unconscious Udin. Continuing to pull over to land, Udin was immediately greeted by Mak Iroh. Deval immediately crawled up the land, took a breath of breath, plus the pain of a wound on his neck.

"Udinone... Udinner..." Mak Iroh patted Udin on the cheek, Deval immediately gave a breath of help giving CPR first aid, by pressing Udin's chest several times quickly.

"Uhukhuk." Udin coughed and pulled out the water that had been swallowed when he drowned earlier.

"Udiiiin.forgive Mak.." The middle-aged woman finally hugged her son who almost died from his act just now.

"Mak... Mak don't be naughty anymore. It's back to how it used to be, isn't it?" he said and shrewdly from his son.

"I'm sorry Mak Din... Mak promised to change," still hugging her son while crying, her son could still return in his arms.

Deval's eyes look for the other side, he looks for the figure of the girl he loves. Why is Via invisible? Then he walked towards the direction where he jumped earlier, how surprised he saw his girl was helpless with a gasp of breath. Deval ran as fast as he could, and embraced the girl.

"Via... Via..., why Via?"

Via held onto his chest, looking at the drenched Deval. In her brim, she smiled and cupped both of Deval's cheeks.

"Thank God.thank God you survived Val.." his sobbing shed tears. Deval drowned Via in his arms. Via's breath is still tight, unable to control himself due to his phobias.

"Gue's fine," Deval gently stroked Via's hair. Via was still sobbing in the arms of the man he was sure of, whom he liked very much. Although he was a cold person, yet he had a warm heart.

"Lo calm down... I'm already here..," rubbed Via's back gently.

Some of the time they are in that position, the tightness in Via's chest decreases. Via had already begun to realize his current position in the arms of the man he liked. His heart rate that was fast due to fear, now again beats quickly because of gerogi. He was puzzled, thinking of the right way to escape from this awkward position. His heart was really unbearable.

"Ekhemmm.." a deheman broke the atmosphere between the two of them.

Deval immediately took off the embrace, and began to stand up. Via's eyes caught a wound that still left a red color on Deval's pale skin.

Deval reached out his hand, greeted by Via. Via still noticed the wound on the neck of Deval, then opened the backpack containing all his equipment. Wanted liquid alcohol, cotton, red medicine, and plaster.

"Son..I'm sorry for all the behavior of Mak earlier.." said Mak Iroh sincerely, greeted by the eyes of Via who looked at Mak Iroh with annoyance.
