Simon's Bride
24. Daddy will come

Simon pulled his hair with both hands. Frustration entangled him, timelessness made him feel unable to think clearly. After arriving at the edge of the dock and meeting with the waiting Jhon, his friend told him that someone who rented the Joaquin ship was named Martin. His destination was another part of the island, the man intended to go to the airport.

Simon was about to run towards his own ship when Jhon got in the way.

"No, Simon! They didn't get there. I've called our friends, no Joaquin ships have pulled over."

"They should've pulled over since, right? If the destination is the airport."

Jhon. "Because of that .. I think the man was sidetracked. One more thing .. If they did get there, they wouldn't be able to go anywhere. Our friends say Hamilton's already blocked the place."

Simon rubbed his face. "Sea. They went out into the sea" whispered Simon, then the man suddenly ran, jumping onto the ship.

"Simon! I'm coming!" exclaim Jhon. He jumped on the ship seconds before it began to move away from the edge of the dock.

Simon looked up at the sky, it was past midnight, cold air biting on the skin. Is Leonard wearing a jacket? Is Anna wearing a coat? Are they both wearing shoes? Are they both hurt? Are they both scared? The questions that changed came to Simon's mind.

The clap on his shoulder made him look.

"You need to calm down. Hamilton handled everything. Your people too! Soon everything will follow. This sea will soon be filled with your people" Jhon comforted.

Simon just nodded. They sailed away from the island.

"Where are we going to go first, Jhon?"

"I don't know. There are three small islands around White Sand Bay, Abalon will be the first to pass."

"We're going there. I can't just shut up, Jhon. I'm going crazy waiting for them to check first."

"I understand."

As the ship continued to advance, John held out a parka jacket on board to Simon.

"Wear this."

Simon nodded. He took a jacket and put it on to cover his shirt.

John returned to his foresight. He narrowed when he saw an object floating in the waters of Abalon. Their ship is approaching.

"Simon!"

Simon looked up, alert to the tone of Jhon's voice, carefully approaching the waters full of the reef.

"I can't get close anymore. Too dangerous. It's not the fault of Joaquin's ship."

Simon grabbed a nearby waterproof flashlight flashlight, then stood on the edge of the boat.

"What do you want!" shout Jhon.

"Five minutes, Jhon! there's no sign of me from that boat, call Hamilton!"

Simon jumped up, John just stood in awe, watching the man move quickly and it only took a matter of minutes to arrive aboard the Joaquin. Not knowing what Simon saw on the ship, John saw Simon waving his hand.

"Jhon! Call everyone here! Now!"

After the cue, John saw Simon jump again. The flashligh in Simon's hand swerved between the darkness of the sea. John was still turning his back when the figure of Simon Bernard seemed to arrive on the ground. The flashlight he held away, disappeared in the darkness of the night.

Realizing from his stunned sense, Jhon gulped.roofed his jacket and saw his cellphone signal was minimal. He prayed that he would be able to contact Hamilton.

His call was raised on the second ring.

"Hamilton! Abalone!" shout Jhon.

"Aballoon!" shouted again. Hamilton's voice was just a broken friction.

"Aballoon! Now!" jhon was half desperate. Then the connection was cut off.

Both of John's eyes looked at the darkness in the land of Abalon. The island was not dangerous, but there were no inhabitants there.

"Pray the boy is safe, Martin .. You are disturbing the wrong boy ... "

Jhon then approached the radio and sent out several messages, ensuring that the people in White Sand Bay received and knew his position.

When they arrived on the ground and got drenched. Anna's feet hit the wood, a small lodge pole that apparently became a place to relax the tourists who came to the island. He found rather long cloths that seemed to be flags linked to the pillars of the hut. Anna picks it up, immediately opens Leon's wet life jacket and shirt. She wrapped Leon's body in the cloth.

He also opened his coat, threw it on the cot, then slowly he took Leon back to walk.

Although there were several huts along the shore, Anna did not want to risk hiding in that place. He will go into the island a little bit, waiting for Simon or whoever comes to their rescue.

Now Anna and Leon, huddled up and hugging behind a boulder, were blocked by some of the vines that had crept up to cover several piles of stones as tall as an adult's waist. They rested, hoping that morning would come soon or Simon would come soon.

He breathed a sigh of relief. No strange sounds or footsteps approached. He hoped Simon would find their mark, and Martin would still be knocked unconscious on the ship.

"Leon's cold?"

"No, Mam." Leon shakes. They only dare to whisper. Anna knew the boy was lying so she wouldn't worry. Leon's body felt trembling in Anna's arms.

"Emmilia!"

The screams echoed in the darkness of the night. Anna closed her eyes, moaning softly, almost sobbing at Martin's voice calling out his name.

"Mam ..." whispered Leon terrified.

"Shhh .. We stay here first, dear."

Anna felt that Martin was still far from where they were hiding. Only the echo of his voice was carried away by the wind.

"I saw your tracks, Em," cried Martin with a chilling laugh. Anna closed her eyes. He let go of his hand to Leon, and peered among the roots that ran out behind the stone.

The light seemed to swerve in the distance.

"Mam .. We just go ...."

Anna weighed, Away from Martin would be safer for Leon. But Simon will have trouble finding them if Anna invites Leon too far into the middle of the island.

Leon had already crawled closer towards Anna. "Mam, come. Let's just go" he whispered again.

"Your Daddy's gonna have a hard time finding us if we go too far, Leon."

Anna felt Leon shake his head.

"No, Mam. It won't. Dad's gonna find us. Daddy won't be alone looking. All Daddy Leon is coming. Also Uncle ... it's just .. they need time, Mam."

"You mean ... Should we give them time?"

Leon nodded again. "Leon will be strong, Leon with Mam here. We go into hiding so that the bad guy can't be found. So Dad has time to come here."

"Leon's right ... Your daddy won't stop until you're found."

"Yes. Dad must have called it all in. Come Mam. Hurry,"

Anna nodded. Agree with Leon's words. Find out how great Simon Bernard's family was Leon's father, and Marylin's mother. Both of them will not remain silent. Marylin and her husband loved Leon. Simon Bernard too, though modest and ordinary, Anna knew how powerful the family was. Anna believed that Simon Bernard would even raze the island of Abalon to find his son.

"Let's go .." whispered Anna.

They came out of hiding. Anna's clothes were still somewhat damp, Anna held onto Leon's wrist and began to guide him back on his way into the island even deeper. He looked back, The light in the distance was visible on the sidelines of the plants that started high. Anna kept walking for a while, looking back and no longer seeing anything. The sand he stepped on had long since changed into soil. In his heart he prayed, may Simon come quickly, and may Leon be safe until then. He did not care about his life, he would gladly sacrifice it if it could save Leonard.
