My Missing Girl

19. Hannah day

Hannah was a little awkward with Fred's treatment of her because Hannah thought it was a little overwhelming. Hannah didn't react anything, Fred also hugged her even tighter.

"Fred, can you let me go?"

"Ahh, sorry Hannah. I'm very happy.' Hannah frowned — didn't understand what Fred was talking about. What does Fred mean to talk like that?

"Are you confused?"

"Of course, Fred!" Hannah responded enthusiastically.

"Come to my room, and I'll explain everything."

Hannah seemed confused again ─ for the artistry of the times. The girl was very clueless about the current situation, starting from the very large house she came to today. Then the fact that Fred is the son of this wealthy family... People who ask for help teaching painting. Does that mean Fred is that kid? ─ the boy Mister Jordan told me about at the time.

Hannah couldn't think clearly, so confused that the girl was only able to stay in place. Until she realized when Fred suddenly dragged her by pulling his hand that Fred held tightly. "Come on, Hannah. I'm impatient." Fred was happy.

Alex didn't expect to meet this man in that place — the building where he used to work, and it's now empty and an unkempt building. "How are you, Da─" Alex immediately broke the man's words when that person was about to call him by a name that Alex didn't want to listen to anymore, because Alex hated the name so much after that incident─ events in the past.

"I'm sorry, it's not like I'm being like that."

"It's okay sir," Alex said softly. Although time had long passed still he still felt uneasy with the person in front of him.

"Then can I call you, Dyo?"

"Just call Alex, I'm more comfortable like that now."

"Alright, but I didn't expect that you were more comfortable hurting yourself with that name, compared to the name you should have... That's your right, I don't want to take care of that." The man ended up not so continued what he should have wanted to say.

Alex just smiled obliquely in response to the leader's talk from his former workplace.

James awaits Hannah's arrival at four o'clock in the afternoon. But it had been more than thirty minutes that the girl had not yet arrived, which made James feel worried. Moreover, James had been told by Adam, if the terror of the stranger came again. But that happened a few years ago.

"No, they are the ones who send terror, tired of disturbing innocent people like Hannah? Please take care of her, Lord." James spoke to his heart.

James has also sent a message to Hannah, but Hannah has not yet returned a message from him. James was worried. He wanted to preach to Adam but he was afraid that Adam would act anarchically. Moreover, the man was very protective of Hannah after the incident at that time.

As a result, James abandoned his intentions.

"Hannah, please reply to my message."

           ***

Having too much to chat with Fred, Hannah forgets the time and forgets her promise to James. When Hannah wants to preach, her phone dies from running out of battery power. Hannah panicked herself because she was afraid that it would cause such a furor at that time.

It was also dark, but it was okay if Hannah could get home before six o'clock in the evening At least before Adam came home. After that, she would use the landline to preach to James.

Hannah had been waiting long enough, but the bus hadn't passed. It should be time for the bus to arrive at the stop where she is waiting now. Because based on the routine departure schedule of the bus she was riding had arrived. Or maybe the bus was delayed? Yaps, maybe that's the way it is so Hannah chooses to wait.

As Hannah waited for the bus she was about to board, suddenly from the west, Hannah saw many people crowding, the sound of sirens was also heard by Hannah. Could there have been an accident there?

Hannah who was curious also came close, the location was not far enough from the stop where she was visiting, therefore Hannah could see the crowd. Hannah approached and split the crowd - people who also saw the incident.

It turned out to be an accident between a car and a large truck. It seemed like the accident was so severe, Hannah made sure it was from the blood that was pretty much splattered on the road. Hannah got goosebumps when she saw there was a lot of blood.

Medics dealing with the victims of the accident also divided the crowd there, they asked the people gathered to pull over and make way for them. The victim needs to get help quickly. "Excuse me, please step aside, and give us away." Say the first medical personnel.

Automatically people pull over according to the interruption of the medical furnace. Likewise with Hannah, she also pulled over. When the victim is placed on a gurney that is pushed by medical personnel up in front of her. Suddenly Hannah's head was dizzy, very sore. Hannah was in pain, Hannah didn't know why she was like this. Because usually, she had never felt like this before.

Hannah's gaze faded, her head dizzy plus her eyesight slightly blurred. When she felt the overwhelming pain she saw a splash of moments that Hannah had never seen before, Hannah saw the little girl laughing happily there. The girl's smile was very sweet. But the other moment appears there, Hannah can faintly see people in black are shooting an object, which Hannah does not know what the object is.

All the events he saw changed quickly and randomly. Until finally, Hannah can no longer afford the pain, Hannah's view is completely dark.

And, next... Hannah couldn't see anything anymore.

           ***

Adam panicked when he got a call from the hospital. The hospital said Hannah is in the hospital and receiving treatment.

Adam went crazy, after getting the call. He immediately contacted James to see Hannah's condition. Then he shouted for his Aunt, "Aunt Laura! Where are you?" Adam screamed hysterically.

Laura's aunt who was relaxing in the room also panicked when she heard Adam's blind screams. "I'm in the room, boy. Why?" Laura's aunt came out of her room and approached Adam.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicking?"

"Let's go to the hospital, Hannah's in an accident," Adam said in a panic.

Aunt Laura couldn't hide her worries, Aunt Laura panicked at the fear of something happening to Hannah. She also did not think, why misfortune always befalls Hannah. Why isn't God that fair to the life of her niece — Hannah has suffered for a long time. God is not satisfied with just taking their parents? Will God also take Hannah a second time?

"Ad, Hannah be fine, right?" a sentence Laura shouldn't have said. Because if she talked like that, it felt as if she was swearing that Hannah was going to die. But Laura didn't intend to do so, but she was just an ordinary human whose mind was tarnished with negative thoughts. Like what she's thinking now.

"Adam, please answer Auntie!!" Laura exclaimed in a loud voice.

"I don't know either." Adam cried out, sad. But in his heart, he convinced himself and asked God. "I beg of you, please save Lili."
