El walked slowly down the path that would lead them to the highway.
The reporters did not give up easily, they did leave the ash house but instead they waited in the parking lot, where El and En were driven.
He stared at the back of the girl who was walking a few steps ahead of him. Girls who today also wear sleeveless turtlenecks are black, in pairs with matching-colored foreskin pants, sunglasses and swallow-branded flip-flops. This girl's fashion style reminds her of one of the bollywood movie characters that Lana really likes, the film that aired in 2002 was always rewacht many times by Lana until this man was able to memorize some of his dialogue out of his head. Pooja Sahani the character Lana likes in the film in some scenes likes to wear a turtleneck just like this girl in front of her.
Actually, just as the reporters were curious about the fashion style of this girl who suddenly changed, En was also curious about the look of the neck if it was not covered. Well he's seen it once.
And thankfully El did not wear high heels and his countrymen because the terrain they were passing now did not fit in at all with high heels.
After quite a long walk, they finally arrived at a fairly quiet highway, there were only a few vehicles passing by. The area where this cemetery is indeed in a remote area, it is natural that only a few vehicles pass by.
"we can split up here" said El, then prepare to cross the road. The girl planned to call Alena when she was on any street, coincidentally across there was a small cabin that she could use in addition to shelter, could also hide from the media crew.
As he was about to reach across the street, El decided to turn the body to look at the man once more. He exhaled as he looked at that back, walking away somewhere. Their relationship is not a relationship that can ask each other purpose or news.
As he was about to continue his goal, El could see from a distance a car coming at an unusual speed from behind the man, el's feelings suddenly turned bad and very quickly he ran towards the man who still could not notice because the car was coming from behind.
El jumped right at the body, pushing it away from the edge of the way out of the guardrail. But it turned out that behind the guardrail, there was a ravine and not a flat land as El had expected. They both fell down and stopped when their bodies hit the tree trunk almost at the bottom of the ravine.
El groaned in pain as she could feel pain and pain all over her body. His hands were full of wounds from the ground, weeds and even dry twigs that existed when they had just rolled.
The girl despite enduring the pain slowly approached En "Are you all right?"
With no answer, El begins to panic as he searches for his mini sling bag but is unable to find it. It looks like the bag got stuck on something until it slipped off its body "Are you hurt?" The girl tried asking again. "Is anyone sick?" El touched the man's arm which was directly on the tepis.
The man puffed up staring at the sharp El "why? why are you helping me?"En knew he was almost hit by a car if the girl did not push him away, although they had to get into the gorge, but at least they were both still breathing.
El could only stare at the man without being able to answer, because he did not know what to answer, this girl had no answer. What he did was purely a reflex.
"Do you want me to feel like you owe me?" Ask the man emotions. He began to get confused about what he felt. The emotions that arise at this time, are not 100% pure as he said to the girl.There are other emotions that contribute, such as when he saw the girl was full of wounds because she had saved him. And she became more and more emotional as the girl worried more about her not-so-severe condition.
El. raking. His lips could not move to merely provide a defense for himself.
"If you think by saving me, your sins will pay off. You are wrong! You have to feel as much loss as the Lana family feels, you have to feel that life is not as fair as the law you play with money"
El bit his lip. Everything that had happened to him lately must have been karma for him. The man's words slapped him, they indeed could not get any closer.There was a huge gaping chasm between them. The chasm is named Vio Lana Wijaya.
"sorry" said El sincerely.
The man snorted, "I am waiting for the moment where you will apologize in public, for what you did. Admit everything and accept punishment for doing so"
The silence dominated, the sounds of forest birds, crickets and other animals were more pronounced. It was late in the afternoon, and soon the sky would turn dark. El had absolutely no time to feel hurt by the man's words. Getting out alive from this ravine is the main thing now.
"Can I borrow your phone?" asked the girl breaking the silence.His hands were outstretched with a pleading face that was not an act.
En reached into his pocket in his suit, took the latest iPhone from there and handed it to the girl with a gaze still facing the other way.
"i'd like to call my manager, Alena"
The man looked at El though not in his eyes "Why call Alena? Call the Jerome. He can 1000% help us." he said.
"But I'm not familiar with Jerome, if I call Ed?" El bit his tongue as he realized the mistake he had made.
En is seen rolling the eyeballs "Eduard is the husband of Elisha, which part do you not understand of it?"
El breathes out. It wasn't that he didn't understand that fact, he just wasn't used to it.
"Call Alena, than you call Eduard you better call Alena" the man said again, giving a solution that can not be challenged.
...****************...
"How can you even forget to put a card on your phone?" El grumbled, as he continued to walk for a way out. They rolled not too long, that meant their distance to the highway where they fell was not too far away.
But until hours passed, the sky had even begun to darken the highway was not also visible. Coupled with the man's mobile phone that can not be used to call because it has not been installed on the first card.
"I forgot," the man replied calmly.
El glanced at his watch the time showed it was almost at half six. The sweat that produces more because they continue to move since earlier, the more the injuries he got because of the toppling was more painful.
The girl could not help but grimace as the wind hit her exposed skin as she only wore a sleeveless Turtleneck. El wanted to put his arms around her to embrace her body which was also starting to get cold but the wounds on both her hands made her undo the intention.
He could only hope that at least they could find a way out or at least find the sling bag stuck or fell somewhere in order to call someone and help them get out of here.
The suit was suddenly draped over his shoulder, El turned his body to look at the man who had instead passed him and walked first. The girl had just wanted to open her mouth to say something, but the heavy voice belonging to the man invalidated her intention.
"Pake aja, anyways it's not funny if you die here before confessing your sin in public" he said as he continued to step, leaving El who pecked after hearing the sentence.
