Yeman Talisman was an ordinary person. In his high school-days he got a beautiful girlfriend known as Marie Belle. The girl was beautiful and famous in school. She was a top student and genius in the world of physics; while his grade was only above average, because of this, jealousy could not be prevented.

His best friend had a secret feeling for his girlfriend. After the news about his relationship with the most popular girl in school was known to others. The news proliferate like an epidemic. Yeman's quiet high school life started to change. His classmates started to taunt and bullied him.

One day he was framed by his best friend and led to him having his reputation in school worsened. When the news of Marie Belle having a relationship with the infamous students reached in the ear of her parents, they told her to break up with the guy, but Marie Belle refused her parent's pleas. They forced her to stop school and take her outside the country.

After Marie Belle left, Yeman's life started to become pale. He was bullied and taunted until he graduated from high school.

When he enrolled in the university, he thought everything would back to normal. But in 3 months of university life, he was framed again by the same person, his old best friend, this led to him being falsely accused and suspended in university.

3years had passed since he dropped out of university. Yeman had become a shut-in. He started to play games, read manga, novels and watched anime for a whole day and night— everyday. Sometimes, his sleep was only for 2-3 hours. The rest was him wasting time with his new hobbies.

One night, he went outside to buy groceries in the grocery store. He wore a black jacket and jeans. The store was not too far from his apartment. He could reach there in 15 minutes of walking.

After paying his bill at the counter, he walked and opened the glass door of the store. Yeman stood outside in front of the glass door and took a deep breath before leaving. He was about to make the first step when he noticed a familiar figure.

He saw his ex-girlfriend Marie Belle on the opposite street. He also noticed another woman beside her. The two women looked like they were being chased while out of breath. He was about to call Marie, but suddenly a black car stopped in front of the two girls.

Three men in a black suit came out from the black car and forcibly took the two girls. He wanted to call the police, but everything happened so fast that he forgot to notice the car plate number. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because first her parents forcibly took her, and now the men in a black suit forcibly took her.

In his mind, what kind of joke was this, since there was nothing he could do; before he started walking home, he prayed inside for Marie and the other woman's safety.

Maybe if it was him from a couple of years ago, he would already ran to the police station and tried his best to do a recap of what was happened. But now after becoming a shut-in, he lost interest almost to all the things happened around him.

Yeman reached at the corner of the street and saw the black car. He remembered the car, it was the car used by the three men in black who took Marie and the other woman.

Later on,

Bang!

A loud bang rang out. He looked left and right. Yeman felt nervous about what might have happened to Marie and the other woman. He saw a one-meter length and as thick as an arm wooden stick at the roadside. He took it and tried to locate where the noise came from.

Although he was disinterest of becoming a hero, but that feeling from before was still lingering inside him.

Noooo!

A loud cry followed after a loud bang.

He followed where the voice came from.

He came to the bridge where he passed to reach his apartment. It was where the noise came from.

He noticed some figures under the bridge where it was most dark. The dying light of the street lamp couldn't reach the area. Yeman slowly move closer. He hid behind a big chunk of rock about 15meters away from where the guys in black.

"Give us the Soul System drug bit**!" Shouted by the guy in black who looked like the leader of the gang. In his hand was a pistol pointed at the head of Marie. Beside her was the unmoving bloody body of a woman. This woman was Marie's best friend.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" Marie cried out.

"Marie Belle, the youngest physician genius who invented many drugs, and now, invented the drug called Soul System." Explained by the leader in a cold voice.

"That drug is imperfect!" Marie shouted.

"Just give up and give us that f****** drug!" The leader shouted in a hard tone.

Yeman heard what they were talking about. But he cannot find the right timing to rescue her.

Marie looks dejected and troubled. Her body was trembling.

"J-just kill me," Marie said in a trembling voice.

"Okay! If that is what you wish for." The leader coldly said while preparing to pull the trigger.

Click!

He turned off the safety mechanism of his pistol. He was about to pull the trigger when...

Ring! Ring! Ring!

His smartphone rang.

The leader lowered his gun and walked away from Marie. Yeman secretly sighed in relief. The leader walked toward the big chunk rock where Yeman hid. He passed it and didn't even notice that someone was hiding in it.

It seemed like he was going to talk to an important person because he had to walk away from Marie to answer the call.

"Yes, Sir! No Sir! Yes! Yeah, I can handle it." Said the leader.

The way the gang leader talked to the caller. Looks like the caller was the big boss and the brain of this whole kidnapping thing.

Carried a one-meter length and as thick as an arm wooden stick. Yeman slowly approached the leader. His heart races so fast. His hands trembled. This was the first time he would do it, and he had to do it in order to save Marie.

The guy doesn't even notice the bad news that slowly approaches from behind but seems like the goons have sixth-sense. He suddenly looked behind, but it's too late. What greeted him is one meter in length wooden stick.

"F*** off!" Yeman cursed in a low tone.

Pok!

It hit squarely at the leader's forehead. He couldn't even scream and directly lost consciousness.

Yeman pulled the leader's body and hid it behind the big chunk rock where he hid before. The two men in black were looking in different directions while on guard for Marie, so they didn't notice what had happened behind them.

He took the leader's pistol. His uncle was an ex-soldier, when he was a kid, his uncle taught him how to aim and handle the gun, of course without a bullet. He reloaded the pistol and switched off the safety mechanism. The pistol Yeman took was a Colt M1911A1.

He slowly approached the other two goons. The area was too dark. They didn't notice, when Yeman was 5meters away from them, he took aim at the goon on his right. He aimed at the body for a high chance of hitting the target. Then he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Blag! A body fell down. It hit in the heart of the first target, then he swiftly aimed at the second target and pulled the trigger at the same time.

Bang!

It doesn't hit the second target because he closed his eyes while he fired.

Bang!

The last goon was able to return the fire and hit Yeman in the chest, but before Yeman fell down. He was able to pull the trigger again. Luckily, it hit the goon's head.

Blag!

Blag!

Two bodies fell at almost the same time.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Yeman coughs too much blood.

"Ma-Marie..." He weakly called Marie.

Even though she was in a semi shock state. Marie came back to reality, because of this very familiar voice. The voice she longs for. The voice of a man she can't forget.

Ye...man?!

Marie couldn't believe what she saw in her eyes. Yeman laid on the ground while bathed with his own blood.

She quickly untied herself and ran to Yeman's side. All their memories together came back to Marie's mind. She still loves him! And always waited for the moment of their reunion.

How come?

She looked everywhere and found out the bodies of the men in black suits laid on the ground while bathing with their own blood.

She was able to connect what happened to Yeman. He rescued her!

Yeman! Yeman! Yeman...!

I won't let you die! I won't let you die!

Open your eyes! Please open your eyes!

She shouted.

(I never thought I would die like this. But at least, I'm not sad. Because I was able to save her, in my last moment. She shouted while looking for something within her clothes. But, I couldn't hear what she was shouting. The last thing I saw, Marie injected a syringe in me.)

And then, Yeman lost his consciousness.

After Yeman lost his consciousness.
