Javier looked at his diamond brand new watch. It's 1245 am already and the two guys still didn't show up. He was quite doubtful with how they would do the work that has been given. Autumn is hard, stubborn, firm and everything that wasn't easy. She would not easily beaten by those two guys, she would fight back, she would do anything to make sure that Javier won't find her again. Well, Autumn...it's not that easy. I swore, even if you went to deepest part of ocean, or have a shelter in a dragon's fiery mouth, i'll be there... to take you back with me. Because, you inly deserve to die on my hand...not someone else. I have determined, Autumn. You bitch betrayal!
Javier day-dream was interrupted by one of his men. He looked fiercely to the guy, but he still made himself brave and walked to his big boss. Giving an important information to Javier, shocking betrayal information.
"Dete and his friend, betrayed us. They took Autumn ran, or in order of more shocking terms, they save her from you, boss!" Javier stood from his chair spontaneously. His eyes were big, stared deeply to his man. He cursed Dete and Hiver, slowly. Then, he took his riffle, checking the bullets and ordered all of them to track the betrayals.
"they think they good?!" the van that took Javier, began to move with it's maximum speed, broken the silence of the cold night.
Dete with mix feelings, drive the car, they still got no where place to go. They knew that Javier has already know about this and he must busy, non-stop searching three of them. Hiver who quite for long time, voice up.
"Autumn, do you know where is a place that he could not track us?" he turned his head at back seat and saw Autumn, still frightening but she still can talk. Autumn shook her head.
"i can't think of anything right now." she then, bowed her head back.
Hiver was looking at Dete, hoping that his best friend can figured out a place, hidden from Javier. But, Dete also shook his head.
"let's find a cheap inn and spend the night there, and...we run the next day." Hiver gave his suggestion. Dete smiled (fake)
"we run again? i don't agree... Hiv, how many times more that require both of us become a refugee? We came to Papricorn, ran from Pantagonia, we came to Pantagonia, ran from Mundas and now what? And, we did it just because a woman?"
Autumn heard the talk and she immediately felt guilty and a bit sad with Dete. Hiver sighed. He understand but he cannot leave Autumn, facing Javier.
"Dete, i just want to help her. You surely doesn't want her get killed! This is important, Dete...maybe you can lodge a police report!"
"No way! A police report? Hiv, Javier is a very famous, rich person, there's no way that police could take that, he can easily bribe them, so what's the point?"
The conversation ended there. Neither Hiver or Dete could speak more, if they were, then they must ended it with a fight of a big debate. For Dete, he wold not having any fight with Hiver just because of a woman, for Hiver, he willing to have it, as long as he can save and protect Autumn, he would be satisfied enough. Autumn who sat at back-seat, looking through the car window and saw a very long dark night coming up.
Finally, Dete found an inn nearest and decided that they should spend the night at the inn while figuring a way out from this situation. Before entering the room, Hiver came to Autumn, talked with her.
"don't worry, just sleep well, as long as i be with you, you got nothing to worry about." then, Hiver left her, slowly but he still looking at her although he has gone far from her. Autumn could give only a smile. She was mesmerized by Hiver's charm and calmness. He surely can handle her sometimes.
The next day...
Hiver woke up from his sleep, still sleepy but he qiuickly went to bathroom, washed his face and tooth before went outside the inn and looked for Dete. (notable that when Hiver woke up, Dete was gone)But instead finding Dete, he found Autumn who already at the lobby, wearing pink-blue dress and pink skirt. She looked fresh and pure, Hiver was fascinated by the appearance.
Autumn saw Hiver was looking at her and she quickly waved at him. Hiver replied it and without waiting any longer, he ran to Autumn. saying good morning and so on...
"I was looking for my friend, Dete. Did you see him?" he asked. Autumn shook her head and lifted her shoulder.
Then, Hiver made his move, offering Autumn to take a walk before they left the inn. Autumn agreed and both of them were heading to the inn's park.
"could you tell me a bit about yourself, what's make you snared with Javier?"
Autumn nodded her head slowly after hearing Hiver's question. she knew, it was quite difficult to answer it but she tried.
"I came from a poor family, i am the eldest of my siblings and we're very poor...i've to discontinued my school. But, my sister didn't. i have to find money as my parents were so old, they cannot work anymore. So, i arrived at this city...after...few works.., i met Javier, a friend introduced me to him and we became pairs.
He offered me so much, money, branded items and yes, my family were happy when i send them money but they didn't know that i earn money in this way. And i have no intention to tell them, but lately...Javier treat me different. He have another one, and i felt unsafe...i threaten him to leave him and he was mad, and he...several times beat me, hit me, hurt me...one day i couldn't stand this so i ran...and he hunting me, until now..." Autumn's tears fell down to her pink cheeks. Hiver felt sorry and he wiped her tears with his palm. Autumn was a bit shocked but she felt comfortable.
"I'm sorry, i'll help you to get rid of Javier from your life. We didn't know that he was that evil. We only accept his offer after he showed us so much money and we desperately need it, now..i was regret accepting his offer. I cannot let you be his victim, Autumn." Hiver tried to smile to give her a calmness. Autumn nodded her head.
"never mind, i'm okay." she held his hand. Hiver smiled too.
Dete arrived and he saw Hiver and Autumn in the park, close with each other with Hiver's hands on her cheeks. He felt uneasy about that, he afraid that Hiver has fallen for her. that's not good because he knew why Javier wanted Autumn so bad. He knew what kind of woman Autumn if she was willingly to become Javier's mistress and that kind of woman doesn't suit with Hiver at all. dete walked slowly to them, and sighing. Both of them looked surprised with Dete's presence.
"where are you, Dete?" Hiver asked him.
"police station, lodge a report about Javier's abuse to her."
Autumn and Hiver looked strange, Hiver already suggested that but Dete was the person who objected it harshly. Saying that no point doing that.
"maybe that was the only thing that we could do now.Let's breakfast and then we run." dete left them, Hiver was smiling to Autumn, he tried to tell her that Dete actually cares about her. Then, they followed Dete to the inn's restaurant.
After breakfast, Dete was ready to took out the car from the car park and asked Hiver with Autumn waited him in front of the main entrance of the inn.
Dete quickly walked to the car lot and he saw the same familiar car like the car the he drive now, he knew it was the same fashion and the same person owned it. His heart beat fast, without waiting any longer, he ran back to the main entrance and get his friends.
"Hiv!! They already here, Javier is here!"
Dete looked really anxious and quickly ran towards Autumn, so as Hiver. Both of them grabbed Autumn's arms and ran, avoiding from Javier but he already saw three of them tried to run and quickly he ordered his men to stopped them before they could get away.
Hiver realized that they have been chased by Javier's men but he wouldn't give up that easily, he must protect Autumn, so he fasten his steps as fast as he can but Autumn couldn't cope with the situation, she didn't usual to run really quick and she had to stop, begging Dete and Hiver to stop too.
"we should run!!" Dete shouted to her, but Autumn only apologizing, saying that she can't make it anymore.
They were too late, now Javier's men were already in front of them. With each of their gun, they smiled and showing off the gun to them. Dete and Hiver stepped forward, backing up Autumn. Then, Javier appeared, grinned but upset, took out his own revolver.
