“I am afraid.” Rosa said while rolling her eyes.
Who will not be afraid when they got captured like this? Rosa complained inwardly.
Samuel laughs when he saw Rosa didn’t look scared at all but only full of annoyance.
“You should stay at your tent and sleep. What are you doing here?”
“I thought you need to pee or poo when I saw you going inside the forest. You are going in the wrong direction. So, I follow you with a good intention to guide you back to the camp.” Rosa sighs heavily. She regrets it. She should just leave Samuel by himself.
“Oh. You cared of me?” Samuel smile and walk closer to Rosa.
Rosa doesn’t like other people to get too close to her when they need to talk. It is because she is short and her neck will be hurt if she had to talk while looking up.
Her action makes Samuel believe that Rosa is afr
In the deep forest, Rosa wakeup to the loud sound of flapping birds. Rosa's long ponytail is in mess, some of her hair stuck on her forehead and neck. She was sweating a lot last night and there were some cuts on her face and arms. When she opens her eyes, she saw a lot of colorful birds in front of her. They were small and cute, making Rosa remember her daughter, Damia. Sudden tears fall from her eyes. She misses her daughter. She wonders if Damia is missing her and will have a tantrum with Louis. When she moves her sore arms, the birds flapping but didn’t fly far away from her. The birds were busy searching for their food on the ground and didn’t really mind about humans fainted nearby. Then with her stiff neck, she moves it towards her left. There is a man who was being tied to nearby trees. The man was seating on the ground with his back of hands and legs being tied with clot
While she walks with a quiet thick stick in her hand, she saw the man that was laying on the ground was struggling to untie the clothes cuff. The birds seem to be afraid with his struggling, as there are no birds on the ground but at the trees.“You!” The man saw Rosa and his face quickly shows an angry face. The man is the one who had a riffle on his hand last night. Fortunately, he didn’t bring any riffle when he was catching her.“Don’t move a lot of your hand might snap in two. It impossible to loosen it, I tied it tight with a complex knot.” Rosa said after she had walked in front of the criminal. She makes sure she was not too close to him as she is afraid that he still has the energy to jump on her. The man looks very young but his eyes show that he is not a good person. He had committed many crimes and used to do it. Is animal traffic
Rosa lifts up her eyebrows. Pretending she doesn’t understand him.“What? I couldn’t hear you.” She said.“The fish. I want to eat it!” He said with a louder voice. The birds flying back at their spots and chirp. They are begging her for more food. Rosa pretended to be hesitant in front of the man.“Well, I do cook this more than I can eat… but… the birds are too cute to be ignored.” Rosa talks to herself as she was having a hard decision to make.She continues. “But this criminal also needs to eat. I used his clothes to catch the fish… He can be rewarded some fish. No… I can’t. The birds are way cuter and important than him!” She said with a voice that the young man can be heard clearly. When she pinches the fish and throws the meat fish at the birds, the young man looks very pitiful.
Several hours had passed, the sun shines directly above the head and the temperature has increased too. Louis’s team had entered deeper parts. The trees become thicker, the birds and other animal sound become louder. The air around them had turned cold. The deeper they enter the forest, the more Louis worries about Rosa. The bushes around here are sharp it can pierce Rosa's skin terribly. The bushes also are thick, there might have some snakes hiding in them. The temperature is cold as they got deeper, he is worried that Rosa will be shaking with the coldness. He had many thoughts but when he realized he had an ugly imagination about Rosa, he quickly throws away his thought and prays that Rosa will be okay. Rosa is a tough girl. She can take care of herself well. She is doing well. He keeps saying in his head that Rosa will be well. Until the tracker in his group stops and saw some disturbing
Rosa had a pale face and chapped lips, there are some cuts on her forehead and her cheeks. With her gentle voice and soft eyes, while trying to comfort him, Louis couldn’t stop his mixed feelings of worries, relief, and happiness. She hugs him tightly with her eyes close. It is the first time Rosa treats him with gentleness and concern. She knew he is worried about her and she try to make him feel calm. While Rosa was trying to comfort Louis, his heart which restrained him from showing her love, jump a little happy. He believes, Rosa had started to open her heart a little bit for him. He restrain his feeling again, afraid that he had overdone it and will make Rosa run away from him. Reluctantly, he let go of his arms to let free her. When he looks back at Rosa, Rosa gives him a gentle smile.“Don’t worry. I am good.” She said again.Louis a
The doctor finally let Rosa discharge the next day, after Rosa have a shower in the bathroom and already change her clothes in there, Louis had done packing her things. Rosa was feeling uncomfortable about it. She had no one pack her things before. She thinks it's rude but she doesn’t sure why there is a warmth in her heart.“Big boss! You pack my things?” She asks with a complex heart.“I think it is more convenient for you. I am sure you don’t want to waste your time doing unnecessary things and quickly meet Damia.” Louis didn’t see her complicated expression. He naturally takes her dirty clothes from her hand and wanted to put them on plastic bags, so that they will not mix with her clean clothes.“Wait!” Rosa grabs back her dirty clothes from Louis. When she pulls it, something suddenly falls on the gr
“Do you still like me?” She suddenly asks. Louis was surprised by her bold question. “Yes. I do.” He said without any hesitation. “Why?” Rosa had thought before, she was married and also have two children. She also lives alone with her daughter, no man will want a woman like her. She had known this since her mother was like that too. Her mother never remarried; it is because her mother had a child. Sometimes she saw her mother got hit on other men, but they lost interest when they found out she had a child. So, for her, it is weird Louis suddenly confess his feelings towards her. She thought that Louis just wanted to play with her. However, thinking back from their first encounter, it is all her sister's fault. But why did her sister fool her to stay at Louis's house? She had thought this several times but she doesn’t want to ask as she didn’t care
Her heart was pounding hard when Louis said it in earnest. She was speechless for a long time and not long after that, she falls asleep while trying to calm her heart. Louis had finally confessed everything to Rosa. He was relieved. She now knows everything and the only thing he could hope is that she will not think of him as a weird stalker. He hopes that Rosa will not found him weird. He had never experienced love. His love for Rosa had been only one-sided. It makes him quite relieved that Rosa falls asleep or he might have talked more that will make her misunderstand. Seeing Rosa sleep beside him, his face becomes gentle. No matter what, he will not give up. He will try to win her heart.… Rosa was sleeping deeply. When they arrived at Louis’ house, it is already night. Louis didn’t dare to wake her up after seeing how deep she sleeps. H
