Chapter 45 - Rescue Dino ( 2 )

Gesa and Dino try to run away from the pursuit of Prince Ahmed's men with a limping foot. Dino and Gesa hid behind an empty drum. They were kidnapped by Prince Ahmed's men when they met. They were able to escape after Dino outwitted the kidnappers. Dino and Gesa's breath resonated with each other.

"Brother, are we going to survive?" Gesa was scared and cried.

"We'll survive this, Gesa." Dino actually wasn't sure he would survive but he didn't want to say it because he didn't want Gesa to be more worried and afraid.

"Although it's hard, we have to try to run as far as possible from them. Where there's a will there's a way."

"Why did you just decide to meet me, Gesa?" Dino finally asked.

"I tried to run from them. They never stop chasing me. Last time, they followed me at the mall."

"Mall? Which mall?" Dino was curious.

"Casablanca Mall. As long as I'm in Jakarta. A man always follows me. I haven't had a quiet life since that night. My life has been colored by nightmares. Those guys are always looking for me. They wanted to kill me to keep my mouth shut about Ananya's death. Not only am I in danger. The person who helped me was also their target. They want to kill us.

"The person that you're talking about might be the detective I hired to look after you."

"What?" Gesa's eyes widened. She would scream if Dino didn't cover her mouth. Fortunately, Dino quickly covers Gesa's mouth afraid of being heard by Prince Ahmed's men.

"Where did you stay in Jakarta?"

"I never stay at one place for a long time. The night Ananya died, I was there. I survived because Rere came at that time."

"What? Rere?" Even Dino was shocked. "Tell me about her, quickly!" Dino started being hysterical.

"Why do you react like that, brother? Do you know Rere, Bara's sister? What is your relationship with her." Gesa wanted to hear Dino's confession.

"I took Rere's virginity a week after Ananya died. I'm Leon's biological father."

"What?" Gesa wept bitterly. She was shocked and could not accept the fact that Dino was Leon's biological father. Gesa's heart was broken. It was clear that she cannot fulfill Ananya's last wish to take care of Dino and Hanin. Gesa's clenched her hands tightly. Tia was right, she cannot be a shameless woman and she has to back off.

"Where are you going?" Prince Ahmed's men suddenly appear and pointed guns at Dino and Gesa's backs. Both started to lie down as said and gave up their plan to run away. There was no way they could fight a well-trained army. There were twenty of them while there were only two of them. Their faces were covered with sacks and their hands were tied. Both were forcefully shoved into a car.

The car was move through Kuala Lumpur streets. If other people can sleep soundly, Gesa and Dino are struggling between life and death.

The car finally stops in an old, uninhabited building. The man then dragged Dino and Gesa inside the building. Both of their faces are uncovered. They were seated on a chair with their legs tied. Their hands were tied behind the chair. Gesa was angry and spat on one of the men. The man was humiliated and slapped her until her lips bled.

"Don't dare to do something like that again, woman. You're still arrogant even though you'll die soon."

"Only God can decide whether I die or not. Stop bragging." Gesa challenges the man.

"You are fiercer than your look." The man laughed at Gesa then started to stroke her cheek.

" Stop it If you still want to use your hand." Gesa threats the man. She did not want him to stroke her face. "Stop touching me with your dirty hand."

"You're still bragging although you are dying. You should have died four years ago. You're too dangerous, woman. No wonder our boss wants to hunt you and your friend down."

"If I die here, tell that prince to throw away her wish to ascend the throne." Gesa laughed evilly. Gesa's words started to shake the man, but they did not want Gesa to know that.

"Damn you. Do you know who you are talking to?"

"I'm not a fool, of course I know that you guys are Prince Ahmed's men. I know the prince is crazy about Ananya. That night he wanted to kill was Dino, Ananya's husband. Unfortunately, Ananya used Dino's car, so it was Ananya who died that night. I was with Ayana in the same car but I managed to escape. I also know you use some wine on Ananya's corpse so the police would conclude that Ananya's accident was caused by the influence of alcohol." Gesa boldly spilled everything. After all, she knows that she will die at the hands of Prince Ahmed's men.

Unbeknownst to the man, Gesa had been broadcasting their condition live on social media. All Gesa followers who watch the video screamed in fear. They cannot see anything, only a black screen, but they can hear Gesa's voice clearly. As an assistant for a well-known artist in KL, Gesa has quite a lot of connections. Her live streaming video was shared by celebrities on social media. In just a few minutes, her live streaming went viral even to a lot of people in Indonesia.

"Stop bragging, woman." Prince Ahmed suddenly appeared in front of Gesa and Dino.

Dino struggles to get loose, tries to free himself. Dino wanted to kill prince Ahmed with his own hands. That bastard had killed and slandered his wife viciously.

"What do you want?" Prince Ahmed snapped at Dino then hit and kicked him. Dino vomited blood because the prince kicked him with great force. "You should have died instead of Ananya. I have to slander the woman I love because I can't be found out."

Prince Ahmed gives a signal to one of his men. The man then gives prince Ahmed a gun. The mad prince pointed the gun at Gesa's head. Gesa closed her eyes, surrender to what going to happen.

A loud sound of a gun was heard, but surprisingly it wasn't Gesa who screamed pitifully, but Prince Ahmed. The madman was panic when he saw his own blood. The man is terrified of blood.

It turned out that Bara came just in time with Prince Syehzade's secret troops. Bara shot Prince Ahmed's hand so Prince Ahmed loses his grip on the gun. Both Bara and Prince Ahmed's team started to shoot at each other. Prince Ahmed can't do anything because they are lost in number. Prince Syehzade sent around fifty special troops to help Bara.

One of the troops untied Gesa and Dino. At least Gesa is making a live streaming video of Prince Syehzade and Bara shooting. Bloodshed is inevitable. Prince Ahmed's troops died at the hands of Prince Syehzade's troops. Gesa was smart enough not to aim her camera toward Bara and the Prince Syehzade team. She kept recorded Prince Ahmed. Gesa even provokes the mad prince and made the man lose his composure and accidentally admits his past actions of killing Ananya and slandering her.

Bara was caught off-guard and being shoot by Prince Ahmed. The man staggered and felt the pain in his chest. Luckily Bara was wearing a bulletproof vest, so he was okay. The place that was shot just sore a little.

"Bara..." Gesa screamed hysterically and run to Bara. She held his body so he wouldn't fall to the floor.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"Why did you go this far just to save me, brother?"

"I did it for Rere's sake. Dino must stay alive for Rere and Leon."

"So you know about Dino and Rere's relationship." Gesa is getting frustrated. Everyone kept it a secret. She's like an ignorant fool. Did she frustrate? She is, it hurts her. Why it is Dino who impregnated Rere and not another man? Actually, Gesa has feelings for Dino. At first, she admired him, but over time the feeling grew, especially since Ananya told her to look after Dino and Hanin. Gesa realizes that her love is over. Dino was not meant for her. Even though Ananya is gone, she can never have him.

Gesa was very disappointed with the situation. Fate seemed to punish her unable to unite with the man she loved. Ananya's message is just a message. She will not be able to carry out the message Ananya gave her. It wasn't her who would take care of Dino and Hanin, but Rere.

Gesa couldn't be angry with Rere either. The woman was also a victim. Rere even almost died saving her. Gesa's heart was drizzling, she wanted to cry but her tears had dried. She couldn't cry anymore. Her dream of having a husband like Dino was just a dream.

The man she wanted was never hers. 

Pain... 

Gesa's chest feels tight. Something was bothering him in his heart. Want to scream and blame the circumstances.
