"Uhh.. is he still alive?"
"Go on and check him."
Zarith opened his eyes slowly. He wiped his eyes trying to clear his vision. He tried to focus on the two men who is looking at him. One of them looks tough. His face looks like a Malay. The other guy is a Chinese. He has a skinny body, but muscular. Zarith thought his hair looks like Bruce Lee.
"Hey, are you okay?" asked the Malay guy. Zarith doesn't know what to answer to the man's question. He's trying to be honest. He shook his head. Zarith hold his head, trying to identify who are they. He had never met them before. If he even knows who are they, he can't remember. Zarith thought they were the police. But they don't look like police at all. If they are police, they must have told him who they are and interrogated him.
"Can you stand?" asked the Chinese guy. Zarith got up. His hand pushing the road, trying to lift his butt. He stood up. He tried to walk.
"Ouch!" His leg is still in pain. Zarith almost fell down before the two guys managed to catch him. Zarith looked at their faces.
"Who.. who are you guys?"
"Don't worry. We're only here to help." told the Chinese guy while carrying Zarith to a red Proton Saga parked nearby. He put Zarith at the back seat. Then, the Chinese guy sat at the driver's seat while the Malay guy sat beside him.
"Which road are we taking?" asked the Malay guy.
"The road we usually take. If we use a shortcut, there's probably a roadblock."
Zarith just kept silent. Now, Zarith doesn't care about what will happen to him.
They sped off. Thank god the trafic is not heavy that time. Their journey was a smooth one.
"Argh!" Zarith's head became painful again.
"You okay?" said the Chinese guy while looking at the back.
"My.. my head.. is painful." answered Zarith, slowly. The pain hasn't rested since yesterday. The Chinese guy looked at the Malay guy, then looked at Zarith again.
Zarith's vision became blurry again. He saw the Chinese guy's mouth trying to say something, but he can't make out the words. All he can hear was take a deep breath.
Zarith is battling with his eyes. His vision is blurry. Grey. Black. Zarith fainted--
--------------------
--and woke up.
His eyes looked up to find a ceiling fan moving slowly. Probably at 1 speed. He got up, looking at the mirror near him. He was shocked seeing his head is wrapped with bandages.
He then looked at hid arms. His cuts are covered with bandages too. His right palm which is bruised has been cleaned and put with medicine.
Zarith is sitting on a comfy, yellow bed. He felt like he wants to be there forever. But he needs to know where he is, who helped him and many more questions which has been haunting him. Especially that night's incident. The incident that changed his life. Even though someone is pointing an AK-47 to his nose, he won't answer, because he can't remember anything.
"Yes! Yes! I'll do it later!" He heard the sound of a man screaming from behind the door. The guy came into the room with a glass of water and a plate of fried rice.
"Oh! You're awake." The guy smiled and approached Zarith. Zarith only looked at the Malay guy. This one looks younger.
"Here, I brought you food. You must be hungry, right?" asked the guy while placing the plate and glass on a nearby table.
