Weird. I started to feel suspicious. Why parbotot's truck entered the road to the farm where my sister and I were walking? That's illogical to me. Didn't they know that the road was to the farming area and there were no houses there?

I noticed that there were two men in that truck, one drove it and the other sat beside the driver. There were only a few things in the rear of the truck, unlike usual parbotots as I knew so. It made me even more suspicious.

I started to being panic since the truck kept on following us to that road to the farming area. I was getting more suspicious and in fear. I sensed that those men in the truck had bad intentions.

Now, 7 years later, by analyzing the situation, could it be that, they had been watching us for a while, to see the pattern like the time, when we left our school, and the direction we went to? Could it be that they had been driving around our school to observe us and picked up their targets?

 I quickly asked my sister to run as fast as we could. The truck was slow since the road to the farm was bumpy. The landscape from the main asphalted road to where my sister and I was also steep and then flatty. We needed to be unseen by those men in that truck, so we must run faster to reach the flatty road over there in front of us.

 We no longer saw the truck, but I knew, it was soon going to be where we were. My sister and I run into a middle of a farm to the left, leaving the main road, the Dalan Gareta. There was a shortcut through a farm there. We both decided to quicky hided inside a grove of banana trees.

 We were engulfed in fear and anxiety. Even worst, by peeping from the banana grove where we were hiding, we did see the truck up there on Dalan Gareta. There was no even a house there. No. Nothing. I knew my sister and I were in real danger. Those men were following us.

 They couldn't see my sister and I hiding in that banana grove. They might be wondering where the kids were, suddenly disappearing. Following the road, the truck had to go through a half-circle pattern, while me and my sister, we took a straight shortcut path till we reached the banana tree.

 There was still some distance from the banana tree to the road. If we run as fast as we could, and since the truck had to move slowly due to the bumpy road, we could avoid the danger of being kidnapped.

In seconds, after seeing the truck about 200 meters away from us, I told my sister, "Let's run as fast as we can! Just run! Run! Run! Run!"

 We reached the main road to our farm. The truck was farther from us since it needed to move even further away following the half-circling road before turning left to where we were.
