Chapter 45 - Rescue Dino ( 2 ) (1/2)
Gesa and Dino try to run away from the pursuit of Prince Ahmed's men with a limping foot. Dino and Gesa hid behind an empty drum. They were kidnapped by Prince Ahmed's men when they met. They were able to escape after Dino outwitted the kidnappers. Dino and Gesa's breath resonated with each other.
”Brother, are we going to survive?” Gesa was scared and cried.
”We'll survive this, Gesa.” Dino actually wasn't sure he would survive but he didn't want to say it because he didn't want Gesa to be more worried and afraid.
”Although it's hard, we have to try to run as far as possible from them. Where there's a will there's a way.”
”Why did you just decide to meet me, Gesa?” Dino finally asked.
”I tried to run from them. They never stop chasing me. Last time, they followed me at the mall.”
”Mall? Which mall?” Dino was curious.
”Casablanca Mall. As long as I'm in Jakarta. A man always follows me. I haven't had a quiet life since that night. My life has been colored by nightmares. Those guys are always looking for me. They wanted to kill me to keep my mouth shut about Ananya's death. Not only am I in danger. The person who helped me was also their target. They want to kill us.
”The person that you're talking about might be the detective I hired to look after you.”
”What?” Gesa's eyes widened. She would scream if Dino didn't cover her mouth. Fortunately, Dino quickly covers Gesa's mouth afraid of being heard by Prince Ahmed's men.
”Where did you stay in Jakarta?”
”I never stay at one place for a long time. The night Ananya died, I was there. I survived because Rere came at that time.”
”What? Rere?” Even Dino was shocked. ”Tell me about her, quickly!” Dino started being hysterical.
”Why do you react like that, brother? Do you know Rere, Bara's sister? What is your relationship with her.” Gesa wanted to hear Dino's confession.
”I took Rere's virginity a week after Ananya died. I'm Leon's biological father.”
”What?” Gesa wept bitterly. She was shocked and could not accept the fact that Dino was Leon's biological father. Gesa's heart was broken. It was clear that she cannot fulfill Ananya's last wish to take care of Dino and Hanin. Gesa's clenched her hands tightly. Tia was right, she cannot be a shameless woman and she has to back off.
”Where are you going?” Prince Ahmed's men suddenly appear and pointed guns at Dino and Gesa's backs. Both started to lie down as said and gave up their plan to run away. There was no way they could fight a well-trained army. There were twenty of them while there were only two of them. Their faces were covered with sacks and their hands were tied. Both were forcefully shoved into a car.
The car was move through Kuala Lumpur streets. If other people can sleep soundly, Gesa and Dino are struggling between life and death.
The car finally stops in an old, uninhabited building. The man then dragged Dino and Gesa inside the building. Both of their faces are uncovered. They were seated on a chair with their legs tied. Their hands were tied behind the chair. Gesa was angry and spat on one of the men. The man was humiliated and slapped her until her lips bled.
”Don't dare to do something like that again, woman. You're still arrogant even though you'll die soon.”
”Only God can decide whether I die or not. Stop bragging.” Gesa challenges the man.
”You are fiercer than your look.” The man laughed at Gesa then started to stroke her cheek.
” Stop it If you still want to use your hand.” Gesa threats the man. She did not want him to stroke her face. ”Stop touching me with your dirty hand.”
