An hour after, George returned to the place where he buried her wife. He was gasping his breathe and crazily looked for her around. But nil! so he walked off a little and luckily found her beside a narra tree and he immediately approached and hugged her.
" I'm sorry, its the only way Mag, hope you're not ... mad at me." He sheepishly uttered while kneeling and noticed her severely pale face, droopy eyes and cracking lips. He suspected badly and out of fear he saw some bloodstains behind her.
" Oh my God! Mag!" Then she's unconscious again after slowly touching his face with her tiny hand. At the moment, he was concentrating on what to do next when its daytime and the Captain has ordered to close the entrance gate tightly, so they could not open it from the outside. Second, he could not climb bringing her, the rope was too small for two persons. Third, its possible that the Japs would return to their current location so the moment they get out might mean of their death. Fourth, if he'd fight against the 20 combatant Japs, her wife would be at risk. He considered the golden time necessary to prevent further infection and dehydration so he was sweating to death thinking on how to take their exit, unless he had to run and carry her going to the granite house exit door, but the chance would be too small. But its the last remedy, he thought. Without reevaluating the only way to escape from the pangs of danger so he picked her on his arms, teary eyed, and ran in an estimated 500 meter long grassy way, approaching the granite doorway when he had heard series of grenades blasting across the place from where they'd left. He was supposed to turn his head and find out if who did it but shortly he thought of her urgent medical need. Though, he thought of a possibility that the grenades were thrown by his teammates or any of his family members at the granite mountain top.
" Thank you Lord! for the rescue. We're getting closer to the exit gate Mag...hah! just hang on!" He thought while saving his energy while carrying her estimated 50 kilogram wife for a 500 meter ran. So there, when he was about to step on the rocky button on the ground, he sharply saw sone 2 Japs approaching coming fro the Gabok direction and seemingly were following the source of the grenade sound. Critically, the place when he stood up have shorter grasses so while carrying his wife he slid a little behind tree and decided to lay her down and he lie down like a speed of light.
