The Fondled Heart
17

The night was late enough, Sava was still awake. Sava looked at the clock on the wall already pointing at the number 00:15. It was over five minutes ago that Sava heard a movement outside his room.

The sound of the car was no longer heard. But Sava had not dared to come out of his room. Afraid someone will love him.

Sava fingered the key boy in his pants pocket. Then retrieve. His gaze pushyly saw the key child in his palm.

Whoever slipped the key under the door, Sava was grateful. With trembling hands, Sava opened the door. Behind that door there was still another iron door that was locked from the outside.

Sava groped the padlock and found it. Then Sava turned the lock key.

Kilk! Sava held his breath, tensed! Afraid someone would listen. There was no suspicious sound. Then Sava pushed the door slowly.

Back click sounds rang out, and this time it was louder! Sweat was on Sava's back. As seconds passed, Sava held his breath.Again, no one came. So, everyone left, as he heard earlier this afternoon.

Sava moved out of the door and settles in the shade of an acacia tree. Towards the gate. Sava's back was tense, as the door was tightly closed.

If the door was closed, it was in vain that his attempt was to escape. Sava could not have climbed up the towering gate.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Sava tried to push him away. It worked! Turns out the gate wasn't in the lock.

With a hasty step, Sava ran away from Vincent's house. Sava ran among the trees, so as not to attract people's attention. When someone suddenly crosses the road he is traveling.

Suddenly there was a car light from below, Sava rushed to hide behind a tree. Sava shaking. After a few minutes, Sava will be caught.

" What's Riko?" ask Vincent for the driver. It was Vincent's car.

" Any, it's okay boss. It was like seeing a shadow between the trees. When the light beam leads there." point to Riko.

" Maybe the shadow of the tree too. You scared?" kekeh Vincent's. Following Riko's hand.

" No boss, just suspicious," said Riko as he scratched his head. Riko returned to drive the car.

While behind the trees, Sava was already tense due to the slowing pace of the car. Sava thought they were getting out of the car. Sava could breathe a sigh of relief, as the car left.

I don't know how many hours Sava walked through the forest. His leg was broken. Only the spirit of wanting to be free kept Sava afloat.

Running in the dark, without a destination. He might even be lost in the woods.

Sava felt a deep sense of horror. Sava was already hallucinating hearing strange sounds. He then triggers his feet to keep running.

Sava doesn't care if his leg is broken! Just so long as he could get away from that demon house. The house of the man who had held her captive for over a year. The killer of his brother and both his parents.

From a distance, Sava saw a speck of light. Sava tried to follow the light.Sava very much hope that the light, coming from the house of the residents.

Sava dragged his steps, because of the path he took to climb. His breath has become more and more boring. It seems Sava is no longer able to walk. Tetiba, Sava felt his body light. Then it fell to the ground. Sava fainted!

A dazzling light hit Sava's face. Sava opened his eyes slowly, then closed them back due to glare

Sava felt pain all over his body. There was a pain in his arm. Sava opened his eyes again. The sound of birds squeaking and the wind made him realize that he was in the forest.

A glimpse of his memory ran into the events of last night. He fled from that hell house. Sontak Sava. His eyes were staring around.

Aye! He's still in the woods. So, all night I slept in the woods? His body trembled in fear! Afraid of meeting Vincent's men, who may have been looking for him.

Sava felt his body weak, his stomach twisted sorely from hunger. Sava looked around, who knew there were plants he could eat.

Sava recalled, last night he fell unconscious from exhaustion. Because running is not necessarily directional. So now he had really gotten lost in the forest.

Am I going to die silly in this forest? Nah! I can't die. At least before I avenge my parents' death!

Remembering the death of his parents and sister, Sava's life spirit rose again. At any rate, he'll get all his revenge.

Sava picked up a small mirror in his backpack. He saw her dull and dirty hair and face. Sava is like hearing the sound of a river. Sava walked down the street, looking for the sound of the water.

As soon as he arrived below, Sava noticed that there was a small waterfall in front of him. The water is so cold and clear. Sava washed his face, feeling very fresh and sore, because of the scratched wounds on his arms and face.

Sava finally took a shower. Cleaned his dirty body. Then Sava took out a small scissors from his backpack. With the help of a mirror Sava cut his long hair.

Sava must change his appearance, in order to avoid the pursuit of Vincent's men. He wrapped a small scarf around his chest, to make his chest appear flat.

Now Sava's figure changed like a teenage boy. Her sweet face, looks tomboy because her hair is cut short.

Now Sava is more like an adventurer, who goes on a mission to travel around the area on foot.

Sava becomes a man. I hope no one is suspicious of his appearance. For the tattoo that was on her arm, Sava wrapped around a piece of cloth.

Hopefully with my appearance, I can be free to get out of this area. Sava's heart.

Sava continued his journey. The hunger that had wrapped around his stomach was now gone. With a gallant step he tried to get out of the forest.

Sava finally found the path. Sava followed that path, until he finally found a farm.

Sava quickened his pace, hopefully he will soon meet someone who can help him.

Sava passed by a grandfather who was carrying a hoe.

" Good morning grandfather." said politely as he bowed. Sava changed his voice as half as possible.

" Good morning, granddaughter. Who are you, why did you emerge from behind the forest?" sahut the grandfather suspected.

" I lost cake, I'm an adventurer. On the way, around the area on foot. If you can tell what area the cake is?" ask Sava. It was fortunate that Sava's original voice was somewhat raucous. So that he can act as a man.

" This is Panida cu village. A little far from the city. There it was, was the farmland of the two landlords." pointing towards the coming of Sava. How did grandchildren get out of the woods? If you are traveling, you must be from there! Because not just anyone can enter the forest." the grandfather.

Make Sava flutter!

" Oh, grandfather forgot! You were, by the way, lost. He.he.. Sorry granddaughter, this grandpa is old. So like to forget." chortled the grandfather, making Sava's heart relieved.

" Grands are hungry, right? Come on, grandpa's got provisions. Grandpa's rice paddies are there. You eat in Grandpa's lake."

" Sorry cake, I want to continue my journey, cake."

" Yes cu. You eat first, let your strength recover. The distance to the city is still far, come on!"

Sava could not resist the kindness of the grandfather he had just met. It seems like the grandfather was the one God sent to help him.

True said the grandfather, he had to eat first to fill his stomach. For his energy to recover. Inwardly, Sava was grateful that the grandfather was unsuspecting of his appearance. ***
