PART 23

The park near the city is very beautiful. Jihan and I looked at the wide green grass. There were also some people sitting on the grass with their families and lovers. Jihan and I sat on a white metal chair. I really enjoy this cool air. Even though it's cold, it feels good to me. I feel alive again now. Since I was in the hospital I felt like I was in a bird cage. I can't breathe freely. Now I see a sweet woman named Jihan beside me. He looks very strong even though I know a lot of pain in his life. "So you ready for me to go?" Jihan asked quietly. I saw his face now looking at me. I laughed a little at his question. "Do I look sad, don't I?" I asked. "According to you?" Jihan's eyebrows rose. "Hmm, why don't you ask me if I'm ready or not if you leave," "Yeah, because I saw you were sad. I don't know, I don't know," Jihan said trying to relax. I breathed heavily. "Yes, to be honest I'm sad. Because I will be far away from a good friend like you. You are my best friend so far. But I'm also happy to see you can be freed by your father. I really hope you will live comfortably in the village later," I said with honest. Jihan smiled sweetly at my words. "Yes, thank you, all this time you have been willing to help me. Pray for me, okay? So that I can achieve my dream in the village later," said Jihan. "Always," I replied, smiling. Now the time has begun and the time for this farewell has come. I took Jihan to a station. In a few minutes the train will arrive. But why is my heart so bad I felt someone was highlighting Jihan and I's movements. I don't know, I don't know. My eyes tried to look around. There are a lot of people at this station. Some are sitting on chairs holding cell phones. Noisy family with lots of kids wearing backpacks. Then there were many people sitting on chairs waiting for the train to arrive. I don't see these people as suspicious. "Hopefully, I won't see my father again," said Jihan suddenly. "You shouldn't pray like that," I protested seeing Jihan. Jihan's face was curious to see me. "You should pray that your father can truly repent and not commit another sinful act," I advised Jihan. "Yes, yes yes," said Jihan nodding. "You're right," Jihan chuckled.

Now the atmosphere is getting busier because of listening to the oncoming train. Now the train stopped at the station and several people walked straight to the entrance of the train. This heart really feels like pulling Jihan's hand and not letting him go from me. But that will not make Jihan happy. He prefers to be free to live in his destination village. Maybe now I should hold my urge first. I have to give Jihan time for him to have fun with his life. It was like letting a beautiful butterfly fly. I will definitely miss Jihan so much. Longing that I will later realize with a special meeting. "I'll go first, okay?" said Jihan with a perfect beautiful face. He touched my arm for a moment then let go. Like a farewell with a beloved lover. Even though he's just my friend right now. "Don't miss me okay?" I teased arrogantly. Jihan chuckled. "You're definitely going to miss me," he pointed to my nose. "Okay, fine. I'll admit that I'm going to miss you and maybe you too. Don't you? Just admit it," I quipped with a roll of my eyes. "Hahaha, maybe," Jihan exclaimed by tossing his long hair. "See you later," Jihan said softly and his eyes waved quickly. I nodded at him then he turned and walked a few steps. "John?" call me stiffly. I really can't just let it go. "May I hug you?" I asked awkwardly. My eyes looked around for a moment. Jihan just hugged me. My chin is on his shoulder. My hands also hugged him tightly.

hope to see you again," I said softly in Jihan's ear. Now I feel relieved now. I gently let go of the hug. Jihan's eyes looked at me for a moment then smiled. Now he was walking with long strides toward the carriage door. I saw it in the clear window. He walked past several people in the carriage. I kept walking to be able to see it. Suddenly someone walked quickly towards Jihan. I panicked and immediately ran towards the carriage door. It turned out that Jihan realized that he was being chased by a man. When Jihan came out the door. I saw him and called him. But Jihan still ran and the man in the hat chased Jihan. I kept running to hold the man. But I couldn't help the mysterious man at all. My legs run as fast as possible. With fast breathing. My mind is so messed up. What if Jihan fell from running? What if the man managed to catch Jihan? Oh my god my mind is really messed up. I kept looking with focus on the back of the man who was running very fast. I chased him quickly through the crowd of people walking by. Then ran through a red light until I was almost hit by a car. I ran again after the man. Now the man was running fast up the many steps. I occasionally stopped catching my breath but the man still ran after Jihan. Until I could see Jihan was holding his hand tightly. Then the man pulled Jihan hard running. I just ran back after them. Up on the roof of a building. Suddenly the man pointed a small but very sharp knife. The black-faced man's hands wrapped around Jihan's neck. I was so panicked when I saw all this. "Don't come any closer or I'll make Jihan lie here," threatened the man who was Jack's subordinate. I resigned because I didn't want Jihan to get hurt. But I ventured to ask the man. "What do you want Jihan to do? If you dare challenge me first before you go with Jihan," I said loudly and made a stance to fight. The man panicked and looked up. I don't know where he's going to run to. This is the top floor. He can't run away from me anymore. Suddenly there was a rumbling sound. A helicopter is clearly visible. I watched in panic. They will definitely bring Jihan. Oh Lord. Where will Jihan be taken
