Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 178 (Mysterious Man )

Ayu tried hard to put up as much resistance as she could, but the man standing in front of her did not waver. He stepped bit by bit closer to Ayu. Ayu removed the pentule needle in her hijab. Ayu plans to stab the eyes of the man who kept her captive without her knowledge. There was a shadow on Ayu's head that was very disturbing, the shadow of a laughing male figure with a long-barreled shotgun suddenly ringing in his head.

This mysterious man suddenly pulled Ayu's body in his arms. His posture is not foreign and makes Ayu very comfortable in his arms. Ayu was holding back the pain in her head until she could not resist. His chest was a little tight and his eyes were twitching.

“I miss very much. I miss your body scent.” Ayu smiled at the voice she missed so much. The man who broke her heart this morning without Ayu knowing why. Jealous more precisely. “You didn't miss me? Why are you quiet.” Malik opened the hat and mask that covered his face.

Ayu nodded not wanting to let go of Malik's hug. “Why Kak Malik just came.” Ayu cried because her longing had been healed.

“I'm sorry. I am powerless against our current state.” Malik desperately wants to take Ayu to a remote uninhabited island, just like the idea Aldo had thrown. But that's impossible, Malik has a huge responsibility to the company that houses the thousands of employees who depend on his life to make a living.

“Don't leave me Brother. I don't want us to be apart anymore.” I don't know what possessed Ayu at the moment, she really wanted to be with Malik.

“Yes, tonight I will take you. Calm well...we will definitely be together until death do us part.” Malik kissed Ayu repeatedly. I could not bear to see him pleading for him to stay.

Rey and Jofan manage to find Ayu, who is seen in a canister by a man, both run straight to the men's toilet like the one on CCTV.

Dorrr....

“Open the door! Don't mess with the woman you brought, or you'll regret dealing with me.” Rey shouted from behind the door. Jofan was ready to break down the bathroom door, fortunately Aldo appeared on time.

“Jofan....Mr. Rey.” Aldo looks breathless. “Yang is inside Boss Malik.” Still with a stammering voice. Jofan and Rey exhaled violently, Jofan sitting helplessly. His feet were numb and could not hold his body.

KreKKkk....

The creaking of the open toilet door made everyone see who was coming out of the toilet. A feeling of relief after the mounting panic burned the crowns of Rey and Jofan.

“Can't you contact us, you almost drove me crazy.” Rey yelled at Malik. Jofan who saw Ayu was fine langung held her tightly. The great fear of losing Ayu still looms over him, Jofan is not willing if he has to lose for the second time.

“Do not repeat it, I do not know what I will do if this happens again.” Jofan to tears still blames himself who let Ayu alone.

“I'm sorry for making you all worry. I'm fine.” Ayu was deeply moved, many took care of her. Ayu cannot be hurt for the happiness of all who love her.

“Yes, it's not your fault. Don't apologize.” Jofan didn't let go of his embrace.

“Rey, after the show is over I want to bring Ayu tonight. I'll be careful, I promise.” Rey is confused because things are still not stable. If Malik is caught by the media, Ayu's name will be dragged and will definitely affect his future.

“Do not you guys should not be together first. We've agreed until things really improve.” Malik.

“Only tonight. One day only, after that I will bring it back.” Rey looked into Ayu's eyes asking for a yes answer from her.

“Alright, tonight only. But remember you have to be very careful.” Malik jumped up in joy, as happy as it felt. Everyone laughed at it.

Rey, Jofan and Ayu return to the hall where the event was held. Ana is very relieved when the three are back in good shape. Adam and Sarah felt the same way.

Ayu returned to the table as she sat with her two best friends. This time Jofan really did not let go of Ayu's hand. No longer want similar events to happen again. Ayu couldn't even budge because Jofan wasn't willing to let go of her hand.

Rey and Ana's photo session is still ongoing, now the turn of the photo with the big family. Jofan holding Ayu's hand with him on the stage, everyone would have thought that Ayu was his lover. Sarah and Adam took a picture together.

The first two photos went well, from the crowd of guests Ayu saw a man wearing a hat similar to Malik's appearance was looking at Doctor Sarah. Ayu trembled to see it but did not dare to make a sound. It was too noisy with the voices of the people inside the hall.

Ayu's eyes widened as the man she noticed grinned and pulled out a gun from inside the Suit she was wearing. Spontaneous Ayu protects Sarah with her body.

Duuarrrr........

The sound of gunfire made the crowd run to each other to save themselves. Sarah holds Ayu's body in front of her. His lips were pale and his eyes were watery. Sarah's hand trembled, she felt her hands wet.

Malik who was still waiting in the car ran as fast as mugkin into the hall. Everyone was trying to shout at Ayu to stay sober. Ana's very beautiful dress covered in blood, Sarah and Adam who are shocked to realize, both do first aid before taking Ayu to the hospital.

Throughout the trip Sarah had asked the hospital medical team to prepare the operating room. Everything was ready when they arrived. Malik did not release Ayu's body from his embrace. She didn't want the nurse and the doctor to take her from Malik's embrace.

“Release.....Ayu should enter the operating room immediately. We can still save him.” Malik hugged her tightly. “I said let go, leave it to us.” Malik still didn't budge. “You asked to be beaten! I said let go of Ayu!” Adam has exhausted his patience.

Plakkkkp....

Adam slapped Malik for him to come to his senses. Malik still did not budge he was not willing to let go of Ayu, Adam finally asked some people to force Malik to release Ayu. Malik who was still rampaging thrashed forced Adam to inject with a sedative so he could rest.

“Please bring Mr. Malik to his room.” Malik has a special room in his hospital. It is as luxurious as a five star hotel room.

Adam takes Ayu to the operating table, with Sarah ambushing for surgery to help Ayu. The bullet that penetrated Ayu's skin fortunately did not hit his organs. Only lodged in his left hand. It seems that the shooter did not intend to kill Ayu, he only intended to harm Ayu.

During the two-hour operation, Sarah and Adam were relieved because the operation went smoothly. Now Ayu has them transferred to the same treatment room with Malik. He will definitely go berserk when he wakes up looking for Ayu's whereabouts.

All the families still look tense, although the operation went smoothly, Ayu was critical because of the loss of blood. Jofan doesn't stop crying in Rey's arms. Ferdinan was still holding onto his chest which was in pain. Rama tried hard so that things would not get worse. He had managed to secure the shooter immediately after the incident.

Rama asks his guards to teach him a lesson but not to kill him. There is still a lot that needs Rama to know the motive behind the shooting that he did. His head throbbed, did not run out of problems that came alternately. Every moment the people he loved risked his life.

“You can all go home, I beg you. Let Ayu rest, I'll keep them both.” Sarah convinced everyone to believe in her and Adam.

“What Sarah said. Our little girl wouldn't be happy to see us sad like this. Tomorrow we come again in a happy mood. He's fine now.” Rama smothered Ferdinan's limp body. Take him to his car and drive him home.

Rey does not let go of Ana's hand and his embrace on Jofan. Both of them must be very shocked events like this can happen so easily. Rey's been renting extra security for security, but I don't know who's messing with her family. Gunmen can enter the wedding hall without anyone suspecting it.

Malik was sitting watching Ayu who was fast asleep helplessly. Repeatedly Malik put his head on Ayu's chest, put his index finger in Ayu's nostril, put his thumb on Ayu's pulse to make sure his favorite person is still breathing. There was not a single person he responded to, Adan and Sarah were very worried about seeing Malik's condition rather than Ayu's condition.

He looks like a depressed person. He didn't eat, didn't want to touch a drink. Even he doesn't look really alive. Sarah tore Malik's body but he still didn't budge. Slowly Sarah told Malik bajwa Ayu was fine. He really is feeling sad.

Adam decides to sleep in Ayu's treatment room. He was afraid that Malik could not control himself and did nothing.

“Adam...quick check Ayuna.” Only those words were repeatedly coming out of Malik's mouth.

“I checked it a few minutes ago.” Malik's eyes glared. Adam shrieked to see Malik as if he was about to pounce on him. Adam walked with his stride. Re-check everything like Malik's wish. “He is fine. Her pulse is normal and her heart is still beating.” Adam desperately wanted to shout for Malik to behave normally. He's more troublesome than a sick person.

There was a cell phone ringing, Adam looked for the source of the sound because Malik did not want to know what was happening other than paying attention to Ayu. It says Mas Aditya on Ayu's phone in Adam's hand.

“Hello....Sorry this is with Adam. Can I help you?” Adam hesitates at first, but a midnight call is usually very important.

“Sorry..what's right is this phone of my nephew named Ayu. I need to talk to him. I've been in the hospital like he gave me his address.” Aditya spoke so because he was currently very anxious about Pure's state.

“True Sir. Can you meet me only. I happen to be in the same hospital. I'll explain what happened.” Aditya agrees. The two decide to meet in the main lobby after Adam asks Sarah to replace him to look after Ayu and Malik.

Malik does the same and has Sarah check on Ayu repeatedly. Sarah is moved because Malik loves Ayu so much. He did not even close his eyes as close as he could to confirm Ayu's condition. Sometimes his attitude irritates Sarah and just as Adam wants to scream as loud as possible.

“Are you not tired?” Malik. I'm the one who's tired. My eyes are so sticky now. Sarah screamed in her heart. It should still be an encouragement even though his body was tired as well.

Adam and Aditya head to the ICU room where Murni is in the care, has been in a coma for quite some time and has not shown any signs of him regaining consciousness. Aditya cried bitterly to see his only sister lying helplessly with a device attached to his body.

The last time they met was not in good condition, Pure was furious as all the inheritance rights were bestowed on her and a small portion for Ayuna. Pure only gets a small portion that has no price in the eyes of Pure. He gets angry and blocks all of Aditya's numbers and his Kaka Inpar number.

Pure's momentary anger throws, some times he misses Aditya and his cute nieces. Pure even often shed tears considering his rude attitude just because of the treasures.

“How is Ayu's phone with the Doctor? Where's my nephew.” Adit asked when he realized who should be with him at this moment.

“He is also in treatment. There was an incident that escaped our guard.” Adit looked confused, Adam looked very concerned about Ayu. There's a connection what the doctor had with his niece Adit thought. Adam takes Adit to see Ayu. The passageway that Adit passed through was different from the previous passageways. There are only about 5 bedrooms on the 9th floor of the building that Aditya currently has. Mungin's a VIP room, but what's possible. Not until Adit's brain thinks about what kind of life Ayu lived all this time.
