Chapter 77 - Interruption (1/2)
Rere smiled happily when she found beautiful fish while snorkeling. The fish in the sea are very beautiful. Rere admires the beauty of the sea at this resort. Humans only destroy nature for their greed. This island is still preserved. The resort development does not destroy nature because it still preserves nature.
For a moment Rere forgot her fight with Dino. The sea made her forget her problems. She forgot all the anger, hurt, and disappointment. The seawater is so clear that when she dives she will see beautiful marine life. Rere enjoys the feast for her eyes as she finds beautiful sea creatures. Rere was amazed to see the coral reefs, but she does not dare to touch them for fear of destroying nature and fear of being electrocuted by the electric eels.
Rere dives deeper looking for various other marine biotas. She found unique marine life that she had never found on other islands.
Rere spent almost two hours snorkeling before she was suddenly hungry. Rere returned to the mainland since her stomach is asking to be filled. She removed the snorkel gear from her body, the diving mask, a snorkel (breathing device), frog legs, and extra clothing. Rere didn't want to get sunburn, so she wore layered clothes.
”This sea is beautiful.” Rere packed her things as she returned to the resort. Along the way, she whistled with joy. Rere didn't realize that Bara's men had been following her for a while. They were confused about how to bring Rere and Dino closer.
”Hey beautiful,” They greeted when Rere almost arrived at the resort.
”Who are you?” Rere immediately became alert and cautious. The two men were very suspicious. For days, she found no one else on this island. Rere only knew that she and Dino are the only people staying here.
”Why are you walking alone? Do you want us to accompany you?” They tease her like bad boys.
”Don't come closer.” Rere plays a snorkel. If the two men started to do something bad, Rere would hit them with a snorkel.
”Are you playing hard to get, now? If you are lonely, we will accompany you. It's been a long time since I've been with a girl. Do you want it?” The two of them looked at Rere with lust.
Rere felt humiliated. Their stares disgusted her. Annoyed, she hit the two men with a snorkel.
”How come you're so beautiful?”
”Do you like violence? I like 'play hard'. It is my favorite.”
”Damn you.” Rere was hurt from their verbal abuse. She kicked one of the men in the groin and fled.
A chase ensued as the other man was after Rere. Rere was traumatized as she remembered the incident of her escape into the forest when being chased by Prince Ahmed's men.
”Help,” Rere screamed as the man started to get closer.
”Don't go pretty. Brother is here.”
”Go away,” Rere shouted as she fell when her foot tripped over a rock.
The man approached her as Rere slumped back. She was unable to stand. It looks like Rere sprained her leg.
The man got closer and tried to touch her cheek. Rere was hysterical, remembering the incident when Angga tried to rape her.
”No,” she shrieked, bowing her head.
Rere opened her eyes. Shocked and did not expect Dino to come on time. Dino beat the man to a pulp. The man's friend came and pointed a knife at Dino. He looks terrified at his own actions. They didn't think their plan would fail. Dino came at the wrong time.
He tried to stab Dino, but the man dodged. Rere was so scared that she stood behind Dino. Even though she sprained her leg, Rere tried to stand up. Dino dodged and did not want to fight it out. He wanted to protect his wife. Dino's clothes were wet because Rere was holding his body close. Rere had just finished snorkeling so her clothes were wet.
”I'm scared,” she squeaked softly, hugging Dino tightly unconsciously.
”Relax, I'm here.” Dino stroked Rere's arm.
When Dino was careless, the man managed to slash his chest with a knife. Dino's chest was bleeding. Rere was shocked. Panicking, Rere grabbed Dino's hand and pulled him away from the men. There was a chase. Dino wanted to fight but his wife prevented him. They went into the warehouse as the two men smiled brightly.
”I almost thought we would fail.”
”The lucky lady is still on our side.” The man took the padlocks and locked the place from outside. After that, they both left.
Rere and Dino gasped. Rere saw Dino's wound. Dino's clothes were red with blood.
”No, you keep bleeding.” Rere touched Dino's chest. ”Take off your clothes?”
