Chapter 2 - Save Her

"No, I just put flowers in my books."

She smiled and looked proudly at the dried flower in the book that lay just above his picture. Sanbal, who was sitting next to her, bowed her head and looked at the picture and then at her face which had every color of love scattered on her face.

"Wow so much love and you used to collect pictures of him right?"

Laughing, Sanbal pointed to the picture in the book. He was smiling and his eyes were enchanted. It is not wrong to say that he was very handsome. Ozgul, who was sitting in front, also lost heart.

"I have only a few pictures."

Ozgul said shyly. Sanbal had laughed again and was now looking at the phone ringing on Ozgul's phone. They were both sitting on the university lawn after the last lecture.

"Oh, the call of brother seems to have come to pick me up. I'll go."

Quickly picking up the books, she got up. A picture of the book slipped and fell on the grass. And she was standing helplessly with her bag over her shoulder.

"Wait crazy girl"

As soon as she bent down, Sanbal took the picture in her hand and said mischievously. She turned around as soon as she heard the voice.

"Take care of it."

Sanbal pressed the corner of her eye and shook her hand holding the picture. Ozgul jumped at her word.

Sanbal took the picture in front of her which she had stopped looking at with frustration. And then she hurriedly ran towards the gate.

                                             *******

They had been sitting here for more than three hours. The blindfolds of all of them were taken off as soon as they came here, but their hands were still tied behind their backs. There were tall trees all around, like four men and many blacks standing around people with big guns.

Xavier looked around and leaned against the tree. He had been moving lightly for three hours, aiming to hide his hands in the shade of a tree.

His hands just had to pull the cutter out of the back pocket of the paint. He had been trying to get to the tree for an hour now. There were many dense trees around in the forest, so there was confinement and suffocation. Some people were crying from time to time, one of them was the girl who was sitting next to him in the bus. Xavier's attention was more focused on her. There were people including women and there were about thirty people in all.

He had a hard cutter in his hand with great difficulty. He often used this cutter to separate the pages of books and sometimes to cut newspapers and pictures, so he put it in the back pocket of his pants at the same time. He had moved when there was a sudden stampede in the bus. This fowler-like cutter was in his hand at that time.

He was now cutting the ropes of his hands with great skill. The style was such that no one from the front could even realize what he was doing at the moment. If he got tired, he would stop his hand because he was afraid that the cutter would slip due to sweat in his hands.

"Di Kope Kom Di Kope Koom"

"Heads are coming. Heads are coming."

A black man came screaming. Now all the other men were holding people's necks and bending down. Xavier quickly hid the cutter. He had a concussion in his neck. And the neck was down, and in front of it were many men's feet.

"War on Hill Begasi"

"Where is all the stolen goods?"

There was a squeaky sound. Maybe he could understand only a few words. He was asking for stuff from the rest of the people.

They were probably five people who had just arrived. One of them was being called Mark, meaning Sir. He was now probably going to the people and harassing them. Whoever he went to would grab him by the hair and raise his face and the person would start screaming. And at the same time, everyone else started trembling and crying.

Xavier pursed his lips with restraint while his hands were busy exerting full force on the rope. The cutter had shown his work. The grip of the rope was loosening. He knew that if their demands were not met, they would kill everyone one by one. These were the rebels of a jungle tribe living in the jungle who would one day take the Australians hostage and separate them from the government. They were making demands and when the demands were not met, they would brutally massacre people. And it was not acceptable for Xavier to wash his hands of his life like this at that moment. And perhaps nature was giving its full support.

Suddenly he was forced to look up at the feminine scream. The black man now had the Asian girl's hair, bent over her face and she was weeping like a fish with a trembling being. He was a very tall and strong man with the thickest locks of hair hanging loosely over his shoulders. He probably forgot to leave the girl. And he opened his eyes wide and took a deep breath, buried his face in her neck. The girl was feeling like a delicate bird in front of him.

Azfarin's hair was so tangled that tears came to her eyes due to the pain. The man with the horrible face was staring at her from top to bottom. What happened was that the veins of Azfarin's white neck were becoming clear. The whole body was trembling. The neck and face were drenched in sweat under the influence of fear and heat. A wave of fear ran through Azfarin's wheelbarrow. He put his face very close to Azfarin's face.

"The Macy's Moote Harin Brain"

"This girl should be brought here."

He let go of Azfarin with a jerk. Azfarin staggered to the ground and did not understand what the man was saying. But he was now walking back and forth, and the three black men were shaking their heads and heading towards Azfarin.

"Till Heradi Macy's Op"

"Pick up this girl"

He was speaking in his own language, his neck pointing towards the girl. All eyes were on the girl in the black shirt at the same time, and the steps of the tall man in them.

The atmosphere was in full swing, the sobs and cries of the people were drowning out in fear. Everyone was taking two steps back. The girl in the black shirt grabbed the woman's hand tightly.

 The weapons in their hands and the horrible looks were enough to terrorize.

The tall man lifted the girl on his shoulder in one jerk, she was swaying from her shoulder to the back on her stomach, her legs were forward.

"Leave me, leave me, save someone"

She was screaming in pain and fear, hitting him on the back and trying unsuccessfully to free herself. Her hands were tied behind his back.

The girl's screams were so painful that everyone forgot to cry and began to tremble. The echo of her screams was reaching far and wide in the forest.

It was almost as if they, including the girl, were disappearing from their sight, a roar was heard

"Liu Har"

"Leave her"

All eyes were on Xavier. Thus all voices ceased, the footsteps of the tall man and his companions froze, they turned.

 "What is this saying?"

 The tall man pursed his lips and asked his partner, Maybe he didn't know English.

"Miss Wisdom"

"Leave the girl"

The black man standing next to him shook his head and said that he was now staring at the Xavier who had got up.

"Half Det Sam"

"Take him too."

The tall black man gritted his teeth. And as soon as he said that, the black farms were now moving towards Xavier. Xavier did not resist in any way. They were now grabbing him with both arms and dragging him away. A man was carrying the girl and was dragging Xavier right behind her. Xavier 's eyes were on the rifle hanging from his shoulders. The rifle had silencers mounted on its mouth, which did not allow the sound of fire to be heard.

The girl was constantly screaming. They had now come a long way through the trees. This was the safe place where he had to make a last effort to save his life because it was impossible for him to escape after that.

Xavier jerked his arms with all his might and the rope suddenly split in two and fell away.

The opening of Xavier 's hands in this way was the exact opposite of what men used to think. Before they could recover, Xavier was skillfully swinging his legs. The whole process was so fast that the two men could not even take off the guns hanging on their shoulders. The man was screaming loudly with his hands over his eyes. Xavier quickly fired the gun in the middle of his head.

"Take off the girl and raise your hand."

"Take the girl down and raise your hand immediately."

Xavier said with a sigh while his eyes were constantly examining his surroundings. As she took Azfarin down, she ran after Xavier. Her body was shaking badly. The two men were now holding hands. Xavier fired at both of them without even a moment's delay. They had now fallen to the ground on a silent fire.

Xavier looked at Azfarin who was looking with wide eyes at the three corpses and then quickly untied the rope of his tied hands. He hung the three guns around his neck and gestured to Azfarin.

"Run"
