After preparing all her things, the next day Ara stood outside her door, and breathed the fresh air in the morning.
"Jakarta I'm coming!"
Ara's goal now is to go to the train station in the city, she has already booked a ticket and chose this train vehicle to go to Jakarta. However, before that, he had to travel quite a distance.
to reach the train station in the city, he must first take public transportation to go there, and the way to find public transportation must go outside the village.
after a while Ara finished checking her luggage, she smiled, and turned her head, then took her favorite simple bicycle which was located not far away, got on it and started swinging the pedals towards the exit of the village.
the highway from Ara village is quite far, it would be very tiring if you have to walk to get there, he also doesn't have a better vehicle than his bicycle.
In the past, there would have been a lot of people offering rides if Ara went out of the village. now, that his reputation had been ruined in the eyes of most people, they all started avoiding him when they met on the street, some people even started talking badly about him behind their backs.
Even so, Ara herself doesn't care anymore, everything has changed, and her nature is also slowly changing.
From now on, he was also determined not to think too much about the thoughts of those around him. good and bad in the eyes of everyone is not necessarily like that in itself.
Express yourself, and chase your dreams.
With that in mind, Ara lightly swayed the pedal at her feet, and with a cool breeze blowing against her face, she smiled and ignored everyone who was talking about her along the way.
he paid no heed to the words of the people he met along the way, however, he still heard some words in his ears.
Among them was the departure of Mrs. Zaskia and her son Rino Wisnu Barata who left the village. perhaps they were also embarrassed by the rumors circulating, and pushed their families away from the village.
The second news also came from someone Ara knows, namely Andra. The delinquent man who always throws tantrums in this village turns out to be secretly also leaving the village.
when telling the news about Andra, most of the people in the village felt very relieved, and cheered. While Ara herself is a little clueless, and begins to doubt Andra's identity.
most people in the village think of Andra as a rioter, however, Ara doesn't think like that, it's just that she doesn't understand why.
Remembering yesterday's events, and his behavior, Ara always felt that Andra was not a delinquent. maybe he was just in disguise, because his identity was a complete mystery. But Ara didn't think much of it either.
About half an hour later, Ara finally arrived at the main road in front of her village, and not long after, a blue angkot car had arrived in front of her.
when Ara started to board the angkot, in the distance, there were several people in a private black car watching her movements.
"Boss, is he the one?"
in the front seat of the car, there were two grown men in black clothes, and after Ara started to enter the angkot, one of them, who was holding the steering wheel, asked the man next to him.
the man called the boss beside him nodded seriously, "According to his features, he is the one."
"But boss, why don't we take him directly, and instead let the freight car ride?" the man at the wheel asked again.
"Don't ask too many questions, this is an order from the higher-upslook, their car is running! Quickly follow the car secretly."
Hearing the order, the man at the wheel immediately pressed the gas pedal on his foot and chased after the angkot that Ara was riding.
In the car.
ara, who boarded the angkot didn't notice that someone was watching her from a distance. Because there was only her in the car, Ara was still casually looking at the scenery around her through the car window.
this was Ara's first time out of town, so she didn't want to miss this opportunity to see the final sights at her residence.
Moreover, the scenery in the village also has a beautiful view. there was still a long way to go, and it wasn't a bad thing to get a last glimpse of his village.
Ara wasn't sure how long it would take to leave the village either, maybe a year, or even years.
half an hour had passed, but the scenery outside the car was still a beautiful natural landscape, and for another fifteen minutes, the scenery outside the car was still the same.
until about an hour, when the scenery outside was still the same, where even the residential areas were getting sparse, and replaced by trees at the edge of the forest, Ara started to get a little suspicious.
they should have headed for the city, and the view of the buildings and the densely populated scene was the view outside the window, not the lonely atmosphere with the trees on the side of the road.
"Driver, we're going to the city station, right?" ara was a little suspicious, and couldn't help but ask the driver at the front.
The driver, who looked to be forty years old didn't respond to Ara's question, but a man who looked to be thirty years old beside him responded to Ara's question, and turned around.
"Madam, we are indeed going to the train station, but there is a lot of traffic jam on the usual road, so we choose a shortcut to make it faster." When he said to Ara, the man's face made Ara start to panic.
the man had a scar on his cheek, his slightly dark skin with a stern look and a grim expression on his face, made Ara even more suspicious, afraid, and panicked.
"Driver, please stop, I want to stop here." Ara who started to panic tried to get down.
"Wait, we'll be there soon." This time it was the driver who answered Ara's words.
"No need sir, I want to stop here."
"Don't worry sis, we will arrive soon. It would be a pity if it stopped on the way." the man next to the driver also persuaded Ara not to get off immediately.
"No, if you guys don't stop soon, I'll scream." Feeling his efforts failed, Ara began to threaten.
"Hehehe...." hearing Ara's threat, the two people in front of him started laughing sarcastically.
"Help! help!.." Hearing the sound of their laughter, Ara got goosebumps and started screaming.
"Shut up! If you don't shut up, your life will be in danger!" The man with a fierce look immediately turned around, and threatened Ara with a sharp knife in his hand.
the fig was frightened, it was a real knife, and the man's face was also very firm and serious. If Ara shouted, it was not impossible that this man would use the knife in his hand.
