BAIDER (ENGLISH VERSION)

She rushed at me but I shielded the sword with my hand. I ignored the bleeding as Lauressa thrust her sword into me.

“Give up!” She said with an evil grin. Then, pressed the sword harder. I fought her while the tears fell down to my cheek. I used all the strength to push her away.

When I succeeded I immediately ran but she grabbed my foot so I fell down. I was immediately worried about the condition of my stomach. The two of us wrestled. The sword hit the right side but I rolled to the left. When he stood up, he waved his sword at me. I was afraid to walk away. My body trembled when it was about to hit my stomach. The unnamed shiver crawled on my chest again. Blood dripped. I was so scared. Good thing it was just the first layer, it was not deep.

If she finds out that I was carrying her nephew, would she be careful of me? Would she not hurt me?

“You know what? I want you to be part of the family.” I was surprised by what Lauressa said.

I stared at her for a second, the sword still tightly grip in her hand. “But this is our tradition whether you like it or not this will happen. Being a Baider is not easy. Family first before others. Sorry not sorry, Baider is Baider. It’s both a curse and an honor.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I took a deep breath as she rushed again. A sword struck me in the thigh. I was crying. She did not stop. I had to survive.

She moved as fast as she could. That was why I moved backward and turned around. I got a chance to position myself at her back. I quickly pulled out the powder and covered her nose. She fell quickly. I took a deep breath and calmed myself.

When I recovered, I ran again even though the pain was all over me.

I am near, Baby. I can see the peak.

I was about to step again when suddenly I covered my mouth. I fell into a deep hole. My tears did not stop from crawling to my cheek. My body was aching. I could feel wounds in different parts of my body, weakening me.

Hold on, Baby.

My baby was encouraging me to survive at this difficult time, but that was also a concern, I had a child and he may possibly die. That was why I massaged it over and over again.

Please hold tight. Daddy is waiting for us.

I wiped the tears from my eyes. Even in the dark, I looked for something to use to climb. I grabbed a vine and carefully jumped to cling to it. I was just surprised when someone was holding it, going up. Someone was helping me from the above.

Resttan…

He lifted the vine up. I had a hard time climbing, my hand was sore. When I got up I did not expect Resttan’s gun would be pointed at me.

“Resttan…” I sobbed so hard. He was looking at me seriously and the gun was targeting me. “I’m not begging you for my life. I’m begging for my son’s life.” I continued to cry. In an instant, I was shocked to see him signal the way to the left.

“I curse myself for doing this. Go to the left, Anmela. There’s no one there except Ariya. Be careful,” he said directly while the gun was still pointed at me. I saw her tears drip before he shouted “Run!”

I hurriedly ran and stepped to the left. Before I finally left him, I softly said to him, “Thank you.”

He just sat down, looking at me with no emotion. “Take care.”

I made rapid progress along the way. He was right. No one was here, I kept running even though different parts of my body were already hurting. I held my stomach all the way to climbing. I could feel the weakening of my body. I stopped when my vision rotated, I just shook my head, waited for a minute to ease the pain and when it finally went away, I ran again.

My feet were stuck to the ground when Ariya blocked in front of me. I gasped as I looked at her. She held the shotgun and pointed it at me. She fired towards me as much as she could. I felt that the bullet hit my shoulder. The stinging sensation was getting worse.

On the right shoulder, there was a knife hit and on the left there was a shotgun. I was thankful that it didn’t hit my stomach.

I was about to move to check where Ariya was, but I was surprised when I looked up and saw that the mouth of the shotgun was right in my face.

I’m dead.

I recoiled when I felt the mouth of the shotgun right on my face.

Laurent…

Instead of being scared I hurried to twist my hand on the shotgun. She was shocked by my fast movement.

In just a blink of an eye, the shotgun was on my hand. I grabbed it tightly and pointed at her face. She tilted her face and seemed to have studied me carefully if I could shoot that to her.

“Back off,” I said calmly as the shotgun’s mouth was on her forehead. She did not obey so I forced myself to be brave. “Back off!”

I pretended to look at her badly to make her scared. I managed to show her that I could fire the gun in her face. That was why she moved backward.

I slowly stepped to the side while the shotgun was still pointed at her. When I got away I ran again.

A little distance. You can do this, Anmela!

I nervously walked down the road. I got on my knees when I saw I was on top. I could clearly see the bright light and beautiful environment surrounded by various flowers. The sun was now peeping. I climbed in the evening and reached the peak in the morning. That was the most horrible experience that I had, but I could say that it had many lessons.

I succeeded…
