LOST IN YOUR HEART
MEET GOOD PEOPLE

Entering the twilight, the waves in the ocean increase. Mika looks so hard while trying to balance herself to stay on the surface. He was bobbing in the ocean while defending a man who seemed to be dying.

"PLEASE !!" Mika tried to ask for help.

Fortunately, from a distance saw a lifeboat on it stood an old fisherman (grandfather Song).

The fisherman threw a net to catch a fish.

Long enough until Song's grandfather heard a cry for help from Mika. How surprised Grandpa Song when he saw two humans were tossed by the waves in the ocean. He also tried to bring his boat closer to Mika. And try to grab the poor girl's hand.

"Please help lift up my friend first, sir" Mika asked the fisherman.

The old fisherman complied with the request of the girl his daughter's age. He managed to lift the body of a large and heavy man. The more weight he lifted because of the chain and iron ball that coiled around his ankle. Grandpa Song seemed confused by what he saw. But then, he also immediately lifted Mika from the water.

"You okay, son? What happened to you two?" ask the old fisherman.

"I tried to save my friend, he almost died drowned" Mika replied.

Mika tried to open J.O's eyes and press his chest. Despite being rocked repeatedly, the man's body remained silent. He clasped J.O's body while crying as hard as he could. The man's body felt extremely cold, as well as he felt a chill in his body. Mika felt cold.

The young girl who was afraid of losing someone she loved brought her face and lips closer.

He tried to give artificial breath to J.O like they were in an old factory. He did it over and over again. But the man with her showed no sign of awakening.

"Sir, is there a hospital close to this place?" ask Mika again.

"When you go to the hospital, it might be too far, miss. My wife is a healer, let's take her there before it's too late"

In a rickety old hut, an old woman (Nian Nie's grandmother) patiently warms the body of a young man and a young girl whose husband brings her tonight. With a few candles burning, he heated his acupuncture needles. Then he stuck some needles into J.O's body. To the man's neck, chest, abdomen and both wrists.

He also gave traditional herbs to drink Mika.

"Drink, this potion can warm your body again" he told Mika.

Then he started giving it to J. O.

Nian Nie's grandmother fed the potion she made little by little into the mouth of the dying, unconscious young man. After all was swallowed by J.O, Nian's grandmother told her husband to lay the man's body back.

"You go to sleep now, tomorrow your friend will wake up"

"really? All right then" said Mika starting to feel drowsiness.

*****

KUKURRRUYUKKK !!

The sound of the rooster sounded deafening. Everyone around you is starting to wake up. Grandparents and grandmothers who helped them started their activities. Nian's grandmother was cooking porridge for their breakfast. Mika woke up and smelled a pleasant aroma from the kitchen.

"What cook grandma? Can I help?"

"You awake?"

"Of course a sweet boy. This morning we have breakfast Bubur Gingseng. And fish soup. You both need energy intake to recover your energy"

"How's your boyfriend, is he awake?" ask grandma Nian.

"Daughter? Emm, I haven't seen him yet" Mika replied.

"The young man is handsome. He also seems to have a strong body. That's why he's been able to survive this far"

"I wish it was like that, Grandma, I'm so scared to lose her."

While helping Grandma Nian cut the ginseng, Mika glanced towards the old woman. He was so grateful to get help from the fishermen's grandparents. They were so kind and patient to give care to J.O and himself.

*****

While Mika was busy in the kitchen with Nian's grandmother, someone was trying to sit down. Actually, J.O had opened his eyes from last night. But he still could not move his body. He also overheard all the conversations and saw the activities Mika was doing this morning with Nian's grandmother.

The man smiled feeling the peace in his heart. Somehow the story he got to that place, he wanted to forget everything for a moment. Forgetting a moment of attempted murder on him. What someone intentionally did to her.
