Chapter 121 - 121. Trying To Escape (4)
"If I may ask, where do you want to go, Miss?" asked the middle-aged man to Naila, even his figure walked out of his booth and headed towards the girl.
"I want to go out, sir," said Naila immediately.
"If I may suggest, you should not go out through the gate, Miss."
"Why, sir? Is there a problem?" Naila asked with a faint frown.
"Earlier, I saw several men wearing black uniforms wandering around the gate, Miss, I'm not sure if they are the same person, but I still want to tell you this," said the middle-aged man in one breath.
"Is that true? Since when, sir?" asked Naila, her expression returning to a very serious look.
"Before that man approached my booth, Miss," replied the middle-aged man.
"Okay, thanks again for the information, sir," said Naila.
"If you want to leave this place, you don't need to go through the gate there."
"Huh?"
"There's another path in the park behind Miss's Ferris wheel, it's just a path. You can go through it. It will lead you into a residential area. There you can ask the way to the highway," said the middle-aged man again explaining.
"In the park?"
"That's right Miss, it's right behind one of the gazebos over there. You just have to look for it."
"Okay, thanks again for the help, sir," said Naila while fixing Dave's position in her arms.
"You're welcome Miss, I just want to help. I hope you can get out of this place without being caught by those people," replied the middle-aged man.
Naila who heard that just nodded, "Thank you, sir. Hopefully one day we can meet again in good health."
The middle-aged man just nodded in approval, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"In that case, I'll excuse myself, sir," said Naila.
"Okay, Miss. Be careful on the road, may God bless you," replied the middle-aged man.
While on the other hand, Naila took the safe path. Moving from booth to booth, occasionally staying in position for a few seconds just to make sure that the people weren't around.
The distance to the park that was her current destination wasn't too far away, it was just that the density of people made her movement a little slower and took longer than expected.
Until an hour had passed, the clouds that had previously spread in the sky were now slowly shifting, and it managed to make the sun reveal itself.
The atmosphere that previously seemed cool slowly turned hot.
"Auntieā¦ I am thirsty," said the boy suddenly.
Naila suddenly stopped her steps for a moment, turned to the child in her arms who was already drenched in sweat on her face.
"Be patient, dear. After getting out of here, I will buy a drink for you," replied Naila while rubbing the boy's forehead which was already very wet.
Dave just nodded in agreement, "Auntie, I can walk alone."
"Just put me down, Auntie, you'll be exhausted," he added, and that made Naila smile.
"No, dear. I am still strong," said the girl then resumed her steps.
Dave just nodded, obeying Naila's words.
Nella was already feeling a little tired. Carrying a four-year-old child for tens of minutes, who doesn't get tired? It was just that she endured it, and continued to steel herself.
She didn't want anything untoward to happen, because holding Dave's hand in a crowd like this, wouldn't that hinder her movement? Not to mention that the boy's body was very small, making it difficult for those who passed them to know his whereabouts.
The arena of the Ferris wheel was getting bigger in her view, it meant that her position was very close to the park that the middle-aged man was referring to earlier.
Even so, Naila did not act rashly. The girl still maintained her speed, moving very carefully.
The pace is not fast, nor is it slow. Until finally, she came out of the playground, into the garden, from there she began to quicken her pace towards one of the large trees that stood firmly.
Hiding behind a tree, she then lowered Dave and took a deep breath, stretching her body slightly.
"Auntie..." Dave called hanging his head up looking at Naila.
"Yes, Dear?" Naila asked while catching her breath that sounded hoarse.
"Auntie, where are you taking me? And why hasn't my mother come yet?" Dave asked in his childlike voice that sounded very innocent.
"Later, honey. Just wait, OK? After you get out of here, I will call your mother," replied Naila.
"Okay Auntie," said Dave obediently.
Hearing the boy's response, Naila just nodded and then looked around. The park where she is currently located is not very wide. Counting the number of gazebos, it turned out that there were only five scattered all over the place, and each of the small buildings was filled with several families who seemed to be gathering and relaxing.
Naila then looked at all the gazebos carefully, she had crossed out three gazebos from her list because they were located in the middle of the garden because it was impossible for the path that the middle-aged man meant to be nearby.
Naila's focus is now on the two gazebos at the edge of the park. Yes, maybe the destination is behind one of those small buildings.
A rough sigh could be heard escaping from between Naila's lips, it seemed that this time she had to move faster and more agile than before because she worried if the bodyguards suddenly appeared.
Moving in an open space like this without any buildings made her a bit difficult, she could only take advantage of the crowd to move.
After assessing the situation around her, Naila slowly crouched down, leveling her position with Dave.
"Darling, hold on to thirst, huh? Soon we will get out of this place," Naila said while rubbing the boy's head.
"Aren't you thirsty?" he asked.
"I am thirsty too, honey."
"Okay, let's get out of this place, Auntie, and get a drink," Dave replied while nodding his head.
"Ok, dear." The next second, Naila had already lifted Dave's body and carried him into her arms, then started to leave after paying attention to the situation around her once more.
Naila could have bought drinks from street vendors in the amusement park, it's just that her position with the street vendors was far apart, so she gave up her intention to minimize any bad possibilities that could happen.
The distance from one gazebo to another seems far apart, each at the left and right ends of the garden, but that doesn't stop Naila from slowing down.
