156 Same wound

Elena’s whole body was shaking, her hands were tied and her eyes were covered with black cloth, so Elena could only cry as she kept begging to be released. But the big men did not hear Elena’s plea that was so heartbreaking, they closed their ears tightly.

With her eyes closed, her parents’ faces appear alternately with Christian’s and this makes Elena even more frightened and panicked. Elena was afraid she would never see them again, with her parents who were old and getting sick. Recalling the condition of her parents made Elena’s cry even louder.

The van started to slow down as it entered an abandoned house, when the car came to a complete stop the men rushed out of the car by forcibly dragging Elena without removing her head covering.

“Please, let me go...”

“Please, I still have sick parents. I have to take care of them.”

“Please let me go hikss...”

Elena’s screams and pleas to be released were in vain, because the heartless men kept dragging her into the house which was full of dust and cobwebs with great enthusiasm. Elena, who was wearing a head covering, even coughed because she accidentally inhaled the thick, dirty air, it was clear that the house had really been untouched by humans for so long.

“Let go of me, please... I promise I won’t report this to anyone, I won’t...”

“Shut up!!”

.....

Elena immediately stopped talking, the voice of a man whose face she couldn’t see made her shrink instantly. Elena, who was already so scared, chose to stay silent for fear that her captors would do anything to her.



The steps of the big men who were dragging Elena stopped when they arrived in front of a black door that looked clean, after untying the knot in Elena’s hand one of the men then pushed Elena into the room which turned out to be a simple room that was quite clean with lighting and good ventilation.



“Go in and wait inside, if you still want to live, don’t try to make a sound because believe me, just one scream comes out of your lips and the lives of your parents are at stake.”

After he finished speaking, the man with the mask then pushed Elena forcibly towards the bed in the room roughly.

“Uhhh...”

Elena let out a small scream as her feet hit the bed quite hard, feeling both her hands were free, Elena then pulled the black head covering that had made her unable to see. As soon as the hood was removed, Elena’s eyes flickered as they tried to adjust to the lighting in the room.

“Where am I...who are they? Why did they bring me to a place like this? What did I do wrong?” Elena’s tears flowed down her cheeks again, Elena was really confused and scared. She feels that she has never had enemies so far, as well as her parents who only have a simple cake business whose profits are only enough to make a living.

With her hand already touching her left chest, Elena said, “Please take care of my parents, Lord. Please take me for a moment to take care of them both, protect them no matter what.”

Elena closed her prayer by forming a small cross symbol on her chest and forehead, even though at this time her safety was far more threatened, but Elena still chose to ask God’s protection for her parents who had just recovered from illness.

Geneva, Switzerland.

Anne wiped her lips with a handkerchief from the leftover chamomile tea that Asher had prepared, even though Suri was asleep at this time but she still didn’t want to leave the pink room that was so neat and fragrant.

“Sleep Aunty, it’s getting late. Let me take care of Suri,” Asher said quietly.

Anne shook her head slowly. “Aunty is not tired yet, dear. Aunty still wants to be here, accompanying Suri. Aunty is afraid that Suri will scream again like before.”

“But Aunty looks so tired, Aunty needs rest. I don’t want Aunty to get sick.” Asher coaxed Anne to sleep. “If Aunty doesn’t want to go back to her room, Aunty can sleep here with Suri. Let me take care of Suri tonight.”

Anne looked at Asher with her eyes that looked so tired from crying for hours.

“I promise I’ll wake up Aunty right away if something happens to Suri,” Asher said again earnestly. “I promise, Aunty. You trust me, right?”

Asher’s words made Anne smile, Anne’s cold hand touched Asher’s face who also looked so tired. “Thank you, honey. Auntie is lucky to have you.”

“Don’t thank me, Aunty. What I’m doing is nothing big.”

Anne smiled, she slowly got up from her seat and walked to the sofa that Asher had arranged a moment ago for Anne to rest. Asher got up from his seat and immediately helped Anne who was trying to lie down on the sofa.

“Immediately wake Aunty if Suri wakes up, please,” said Anne seriously.

“Yes Aunty, I will immediately wake up Aunty right then and there.”

Anne, who was so tired and sleepy, thinned her lips. After making sure Suri was still asleep on her big and comfortable bed, Anne began to close her eyes. Within minutes Anne had fallen straight into dreamland, it was clear that Anne was so tired.

After making sure the adoptive mother was asleep, Asher then walked to his seat which was beside Suri’s bed. Asher sat back in his previous seat with Anne, Asher carefully tidied Suri’s slightly messy hair.

“I’m sorry Suri, if only I hadn’t left you in the waiting room alone, maybe all these bad things wouldn’t have happened. I’m sorry for being stupid, Suri,” Asher said softly in a barely audible voice. His eyes looked at Suri with a look full of regret.

The image of Suri’s hysterics two hours ago replayed in Asher’s memory, screams and shouts accompanied by Suri’s hysterical cries made anyone who saw her feel pity. Even though Asher is currently very curious about what Suri has been through, he doesn’t have that much courage to ask Suri. Asher remembered doctor Rasta’s message asking all of them not to remind Suri of the kidnapping she experienced three years ago, none of them were allowed to go back to telling Suri about this terrible incident for any reason.

“Get well soon, Suri. I miss you who are cheerful again like before. I miss my sweet little sister who is smiling, coming back like the Suri we know, Suri.”
