386 I AM A FUGITIVE (1/2)

Xiao Tianyao chuckled when he heard Senja retorting words as he pulled her body closer and buried his face on her shoulder. ”I miss you…” He said thoughtfully.

Senja wrapped her arms around his waist. His scent gave a feeling of calm for the raging flame in her heart of the thought that she almost lost him. ”You don't know how I feel…” She sulked, back to her childish self.

”I am sorry…” He said slowly.

.....

Senja woke up by feeling ravenously hungry, her stomach cried for food.

She hadn't had proper meal ever since Xiao Tianyao fell unconscious and last night, she used every ounce of her energy to cry as the feeling of relief was blossoming in her heart because he was finally fine.

And now, when she had a peace of mind, all the fatigue and hungriness came at once. She sat up with disoriented thought when she realized Xiao Tianyao wasn't there, instantly she became tensed, wandering her eyes around the rickety room when he heard his voice from outside the door.

Apparently, Xiao Tianyao was talking with someone. It must be Ju Long, because it was him the only person who was around.

With grunting, Senja stood up and hobbled her way toward the door as she watched Xiao Tianyao and Ju Long were in discussion.

The door let a creaky sound when she opened it wider.

Both of men turned their attention toward Senja as the girl smile sheepishly. Knowing her morning appearance wouldn't be a wonderful sight to see after the night full of cry and snot, Senja turned around and walked into the forest.

Not far from their dead broke hut, there was a small river streaming down from a waterfall which a bit far from their location.

She saw the waterfall when Ju Long brought them to their hut.

When she arrived at the streaming river, she splashed the fresh water to her face and felt the coldness woke every cell in her body up. She felt alive again.

The sound of broken twigs behind her, announcing there was someone come closer. Senja didn't need to turn around to know if it was Xiao Tianyao, because he had spoken the moment he saw her.

”Don't wonder alone in the forest.” He said as he took a seat on one of the rock stone nearby.

”I have been wondering the forest since you fell unconscious.” Lied. She was always beside him ever since he fell unconscious, except for some privacy moment.

Senja walked toward Xiao Tianyao and sat beside him.

Xiao Tianyao gripped her chin and wiped the water that trickled down on her face with his sleeve, after he had made sure that she was dry, he pecked her lips and spoke grimly. ”Don't wonder alone in the forest.” He reiterated.
