NATALIA
"OPAW! WHAT THE HELL? Relax, brother. We'll get to bossing soon. Don't worry," the pilot interrupted the bald man.
"Shut up too! Speed up the operation. My hand is itching from the money I can get from the boss. At long last, I can gamble again. So hurry up!" commanded the bald man, whose name turned out to be Opaw, to the pilot. The pilot fell silent and Opaw followed.
Meanwhile, July and I were still holding hands. That would have been sweet, wouldn't it? But my mind was more filled with fear of what was happening.
"Do you trust me, Nat?" July whispered to me. I am so close to her because I squeezed myself into her. Opaw is scary! He might fire his gun. No! I can't die yet!
"Nat, do you trust me?" She whispered to me again when I didn't answer.
I just nodded. She suddenly looked at my behavior and the distance between our faces had now increased by an inch. We had a staring contest, and the nervousness in my chest increased when our eyes met.
"Thank you for trusting me," she whispered again.
The fragrant smell of her breath hit my face, and then, I was captured by her captivating brown eyes.
"What are you mumbling about?!" Killjoy, Opaw! July, and I stopped staring. Tsk. I wanted to slap him for interrupting our moment! Err... We didn't answer. Instead, we just look at them. "Just be a good girl, girls, and you won't be hurt. It's a pity for your beautiful faces if only my bullets could penetrate them," he added foolishly.
We were quiet again. I don't know if July is planning anything, but as I've said to her, I trusted her. We traveled again. July and I still hold hands, and just holding her hands really relieves me. When suddenly, she loses her grip on mine. I would have protested, but I noticed that she was planning something for Opaw.
Opaw was surprised when July quickly grabbed his weapon and pointed it back at him. Me? Amazed! At the speed of events, Opaw and the pilot were no longer on the scene.
"Who ordered you?" she asked them emphatically.
They did not answer. Opaw was about to grab the weapon again, but July quickly dodged and hit Opaw on the head with the tip of the gun. And that's it, Opaw is asleep.
"Shit!" the pilot curses.
"Who ordered you?" July shouts while her gun is pointed at the pilot's head.
"Fuck you! We will all die together!" the pilot replied, and showed us the grenade he was holding.
I gasped. We are dead if the pilot goes crazy and removes the pin.
"Chill, man." The agent herself was surprised as well. "Let's talk about this. I'll double your payment. Just drive us home safely. " Shucks! Grenade! Are we going to die here?
"Huh! You don't know what you're saying, woman! I'd rather die than betray my clan." Gosh, the pilot is determined. How are we going to get past this? "Put the gun down. Just sit there with the brat and be a good girl," said the pilot to July. He is now smiling foolishly.
Moreover, the pilot looked at the agent from head to toe. His eyes sparkled with lust as he stared at the agent. Fuck him! Such a maniac! She is mine! Wait, what did I say?
"We can talk about this properly, lover boy." All of a sudden, the agent flirted with the pilot. What the hell? July just coveted and flirted immediately after making me feel good earlier. This woman is so shameless!
I was about to react when I remembered our conversation earlier.
'Do you trust me, Nat?'
Her words keep replaying in my mind as I'm watching her, effortlessly, get the attention of the pilot. The pilot was very distracted, especially when July sensually touched his arm where the grenade was. She stroked the pilot's arm up and down softly. The maniac pilot swallowed hard. It's good that the chopper has an autopilot; if not, we might have crashed earlier.
"That's more like it, kid. Come here. Make me happy." The pilot looks like he is salivating while looking at July.
I clenched my fist, especially when July came up to him and sat on his lap. The guy was tightly holding his grip on the grenade, July was just smiling sexy here. And me? Grr... I wanted to shoot the pilot!
I was thinking that way when July threw the gun in front of me. I was surprised to see it, but f*ck, she's not looking at me!
"Why did you throw the gun away? It's mine," the pilot reacted. July cupped his cheeks to face her.
"Sshh... Just concentrate on me, lover boy. You want me to make you happy, don't you?" The agent seductively said. Egrr, I want to punch the pilot hard! But yeah, I trusted her. I believe this is all part of the plan.
"Oh yeah... I like this," the pilot said stiffly and started kissing July on the neck.
'Shit!' I thought softly. 'She's mine! F*cking arsehole!' It's a pain to see such a scene. Especially if you have feelings for the person involved in that scene. I just clenched my fist.
'Do you trust me, Nat?'
I remembered again what July said. While I was just watching that heartbreaking scene, the agent simply glanced in my direction. She was saying to me, through that gorgeous stare, that I should take the gun.
I was stunned and couldn't move for a few minutes, but I saw how that maniac devoured her neck, so I carefully took the gun. Later, in just a snap, July punches the pilot. They are already fighting, and July is taking over the grenade. The pilot was strong. That's why July also had a hard time knocking him up.
I was shocked by what was happening, so here I am, a spectator. When, out of the blue, Opaw woke up. I was so rattled because he was going to punch July from behind, so I was shocked and heard a gunshot. Opaw gasped. The two who were fighting stopped and looked at me in surprise.
"Opaw!" The pilot shouted and violently pulled July away, but July did not let him go and continued to punch him. The pilot couldn't fight back, and his face was cracked as he tried to avoid July's punches.
Meanwhile, I can't believe I shot Opaw. My God! I killed a man! I'm going to jail! Oh god! I'm a killer!
I was in that state of mind when July suddenly approached me. With questioning eyes, I looked at her.
"Jump!" July said.
"What?" I can't believe what I heard from her.
"I said, jump! The chopper has a self-destruct detonator! Let's jump!" She shouted and pulled me closer to the chopper door. "You trust me, right?" she asked and held me on both shoulders. I nodded even though I wasn't sure if I could jump. The distance from where we were is so high, and it's freaking seawater. Oh God, my allergy!
I had just prepared myself for the jump when she suddenly kissed me. The kiss she gave me was also quite long, and all I could do was enjoy that moment.
I love the taste of her lips. I gasped when she pulled out and grabbed my hands. I just look at her, but she avoids looking at me. I want to ask why she kissed me. Why did she do that? Why didn't it last long? Why just a kiss? Oh shit, I sounded so desperate.
Anyway, I felt like something else was happening inside me when she kissed me, but I didn't really have time to ask when she pulled my hand and it was too late when I realized that we had already jumped.
Loud shouts escaped our mouths. July hugged me tightly, protecting me from whatever would happen to me, because soon after the chopper exploded, our bodies descended on the vast ocean with a great impact.
Our bodies splashed forcibly into the water. I feel the pain of the impact all over my body. July I was separated because of the great collision. My body was still submerged in the water. Some debris fell from some parts of the chopper, and I would have almost been hit if I had not quickly avoided the iron that passed in front of me. I swam up and saw in the distance the torn chopper. July was right; there was a bomb in the chopper earlier.
My eyes immediately searched for the agent, but I could not find her.
"July?" I called. No one answered. Has she drowned? She can't swim? "July?" I called again.
I began to panic here. It's impossible that she can't swim. She's a f*cking agent! She was trained for everything, right?
'Where is she?' I asked in my mind.
'Nat! I'm drowning. The debris hit me in the head.' I heard from my mind. Whoa? What was that? Who's that? I turned around, but no one was there. Who's that? 'Nat? I can't breathe,' the voice said to my brain again. Someone needs my help!
'Juls? Is that you?' I asked in my mind.
'Yes, baby,' she replied. My god, she called me baby? Ayeee... Where is she?
'She is drowning, Natalia! Save her!' All right, brain. Yes, I need to save my baby! 'Dive in! She'll be dead if you keep on gawking there!'
My alter ego is so rude! So before she got angry with me again, I dived. I don't care about my allergies as long as I can save July
'July?' I tried to reach her. I tried and tried, but she didn't answer. My God, it looks like she drowned. Did you take her away from me, Lord? Don't! Give me a chance! Oh, I'm still praying. I know I am so kind.
Where is that woman now? My vision under the sea is also very good; it's clear. Even without goggles, I can see the bottom and other sea creatures. I didn't expect that I could breathe this deeply under the water. Even though I don't swim very often anymore, I'm getting better.
I sharpened my eyes even more in search of July, and to my joy, I saw her at the bottom of the pit. I quickly swam towards her and grabbed her body upwards. She is now unconscious. God, I hope she's okay. I don't like to pray, but please spare her life. For me? Please!
Great! Will the Lord grant me? I am an evil creature, as others say, so I am not sure if the gods will hear my prayer.
When we were on the surface of the water, I realized that she had totally lost consciousness. What do I do now? The sun is still upright. Are we going to die here in the middle of the sea? How can we get help? I hope Dad will rescue us soon.
I have a lot of worries. Who doesn't? We are trapped in the middle of the sea. For fucks' sake!
I'm starting to lose hope and my hands are already struggling to hold July. Gosh, help.
"There's an island nearby." Shit! Someone is speaking? Is July awake? I looked at July. No, she's still not conscious. "I'm here," that small voice called again. I started to get nervous, but I still turned my eyes to the voice's direction.
"W-who are you? Where are you?" I look around.
"I'm here." Then it appeared on my front. I was shocked, but I could not speak. Yes, it's an it! Damn. The seahorse speaks! "I'm Polo," he added.
I was too stunned. I am too shocked to speak because of what I am seeing. I hysterically stay away from it while holding July tightly.
"F*ck! Is this for real?" I shouted. I rubbed my eyes to see if what I saw was true, and yeah, the seahorse was still there. Damn!
"I am real. Don't be scared." The fuck! The seahorse can speak clearly. Amazing! "I just want to help you. There's an island nearby. You can swim up there." I can't really believe what I'm seeing and hearing, but when it mentioned help and the island, it got my attention.
"And you are speaking?" I made sure first.
Maybe I am just dreaming? Maybe we're in a gag show and I'm just being tripped? I will really strangle Piyaya and Haruring if I can prove that they are the ones who did this prank!
"Indeed." Nice! My mouth dropped open."So, let's go?" it added. It's not a dream! Wow!
I could do nothing but obey. It didn't swim that fast, so I caught up with it. But swimming was not a problem for me. I really feel like I can swim no matter how far we swim.
Later, I saw the island they were talking about. I quickly swam to the shore so that I could lay July on the shore. She needs to be treated. because the side of her head was injured. Maybe the chopper's debris badly hit her, so here she is and he's still unconscious. God, I don't know how to do first aid.
"Thank you, hmmm..." I forgot the name of the seahorse.
"Polo. My name is Polo. You are welcome. I am just helping out my kind," it replied with a smile.
I just nodded, smiled, and continued to swim toward the beach. I just ignored what it said, "I am just helping my kind."
When I reached the shore, I laid July down there, but since the water still reached us, I needed to push her more. I would have stood up, but I could not. Then I looked at my feet to see what was holding me from standing. To my shock, it was my allergy that was keeping me still lying on the shore. It's getting worse now!
And what is this? I'm scaled on the lower half of my body, from my waist to downward. The scale was beautifully colored with golden yellow and orange. It was too late when I realized it was no ordinary scale.
My God! Is this... do I have a tail? I have a tail! Damn! I wiggled the thing and it whipped like a tail.
No! What am I? Who am I?
"Noooooo!!!" Those words just came out of my mouth. This can not be. I am a...? "Noooooo!!!"
