Chapter
23 TISZ Wick
==================
Walking
is really hard. Breathing is really hard.
This
kind of thought was the only thing that filled the brain of Nasrul right now.
The body of his feel really hot. It feel like the temperature increase.
“It
hurt…. It blazing… It hot…”
Nasrul
know that this is not because the temperature of the surrounding place
increase. It came from the whole of his body right now and it became harder as
the time goes on.
Although
the pain that came from his cell all over his body has alleviated before this,
at the time that he woke up. The pain from his whole body began to come back
just now.
It came
little by little as the time goes on and that became his burden right now. The
amount of pain that he must bear will be more than the threshold that he can
bear because he already experience this pain before and it will only making his
able to readying his heart on the amount of the pain that will come.
With
every step that he took it became more hurt and it goes straight to his brain.
Before
this, at the time that he awake from the slumber. At the beginning of this
hour, he think that the whole body of his body do not feel as much as the pain
that he feel at the end of that third hour was because of the body of his was
numb. All over the body of his fell under the state of numb.
Although
the numbing sensation was not transfer to him and he cannot feel it but he
still think that the body of his in the state of numb. The thing that making
him skip a beat was that even though that the body of his was in the state of
numb, the pain still bypass it.
He do
not know on how that he can bear it before this. At the time that the pain came
on the first time.
The only
thing that he can think off was that the feeling of death at that time was too
overwhelming that it effect his thinking judgement. This make his able to bear
it as most of the thought of him at that time was on the moving his own body to
safety.
Nevertheless
that action of him was futile as he was unable to move from that place and run.
Even with the thought of running from that place has dismissed most of the pain
that he feel and his will that forcing him to be conscious.
Nasrul
walk slowly step by step while in the meantime using the tree trunk as the
support. Using this method it lessen the burden on his body allowing him to
move away by using lesser energy than without using it.
“Hah…
Hah… This is really tiring. Urgh… that pain gonna come back. It still only the
middle of the fourth hour right now, just a little more. Just a little more
half an hour to go through. Nasrul, you can do it”
While
moving around Nasrul talk to himself occasionally. This was done so that he can
distract himself from the pain even if it a little. Not only that, it also to
make sure that his heart will not give up easily as the time for all of this to
end only just half an hour from now. Given all of what the watch was saying
true then the only hope to survive was to pin onto the rule that has been set
up.
He do
not know whether the people that make all of this can salvage him out of this
place and save him. The only hope that he can make was that they had the
ability to save him even with this kind of wound. If they were able to make all
of this, it must mean their technology will be high.
He do
not know which organization that make this kind of sick game but he can only
hold the notion that they will be able treat him after this. That his only hope
to survive this.
“Hah…
Whether I live or died, this is the only path”
Crack…
After
contemplating himself, Nasrul was awoken from his thought from a sound. With
the speed that he can manage, he hide behind the tree immediately. It was a
relieved that he already close to the tree when that sound travel to him.
The
sound of a branch of a tree was step by someone. Not only just because the tree
branch was step by someone, it came from the sound of the branch that has been
step like it sounding close to his position.
Step by
step the being taken and it has gotten close to the place that he was hidden
right now. The candle that had the fire put out at the moment that he heard the
sound and go into hidden was grasped in his palm tightly. It as though that the
candle was the most important think in the world.
As the
step was getting closer to his location that he was hiding right now behind a
large tree, he begin to restlessness. To say that he was scared, of course he
feel really afraid right now. The thing that came close to him was an unknown.
The
closer the step sounding and the closer it is to his place of hiding, the heart
of Nasrul feel like it beating at an alarmed rate.
[Beat,
Beat, Beat, Beat]
The
sound of his heard sounding.
[Beat,
Beat, Beat, Beat]
The
sound of the heart of Nasrul continue to beat vigorously.
As the
closer he crouched down while making sure that no other body part of him can be
visible to the person that walking close to him.
Nasrul
then move the head of his to the corner of the tree trying to peek on the
mysterious presence that moving closer to him.
Slowly,
slowly, slowly
Moving
his head to the corner of the tree with the speed of a turtle, he peak at the
figure that right now that he feel moving closer. He do not move suddenly so
that it will not create any unnecessary noise as he do not want to alarm the
one that move to his location.
Looking
closely with the corner of his eye, he saw it the figure that was moving closer
to him can only be seen with the silhouette of the general outline of that
person. Attributed with the darkness that cover this whole place and not using
any candle making it hard to see the person that moving closer to him.
Closer
and closer and closer toward him
The
figure that enter the line of sight of Nasrul that he cannot before begin to
blur less and less. This make the outline of that figure became visible little
by little.
He begin
to be able to see clearly that person. Yes, it is that person.
The
figure that Nasrul look straight right now is a person that he know. The
silhouette of that person was a person that became one of his companion at the
start of this nightmare. That person is Zakiran.
The
first person that talk to him at the start of this nightmare. He was also the
person that enter the same group as him at the time when the group selection
was made. The person that enter the five man team for a group that began to
wonder around the place searching for the clue with also the same group that
when they meet the threat together and run from it. To find the clue hidden
around the place they work together to find it.
Right now, the first person that he know at
the beginning of this dangerous place is not in the same condition at the first
time he meet him.
The
clothes of Zakiran right now can be said is covered in soil. The T-shirt that
he wear had been covered in the soil at a few place. The same can be said to
the pants that he wear right now.
Zakiran
can be said that he no longer looking like the salaryman that wear clean
clothes and the expensive looking cloth also seem to be blown off by this image
of him right now. The closest image that he shown right now was a person that
had been rob and involve in the fight.
Although
Nasrul saw that the person that he look right now is a person that he know. He
do not came out of the hiding place right away. He wait for Zakiran to move
closer to him.
The
moment that Zakiran moving closer to him at that time he move out of the hiding
place. Right now he has make sure that no danger exist from his observation.
The
moment that he move out, he greet that person at the same time.
