A Wounded Life
Chapter 13

"It's time for lunch we better eat first" said Ario

I took a deep breath and turned around and sat back down, even though Gio might see me

I slowly turned around and looked at Ario but the corner of my eyes glanced at Gio who looked surprised

"Good" I said, then sat back down at my place

I saw if Gio stood up to come to me

I quickly coded him a hand so he wouldn't meet me right now otherwise he would embarrass me in public and I wouldn't want that to happen

Gio understood my hand code and he sat back where he was

And Lela was holding back an angry look very visible from her reddened face

I let out a sigh of relief then I looked at Ario who was also looking at me

Ario and I alike turned our faces away making our eyes cut off

"Ekhemm Max has ordered our food just to wait" said Ario as he stared at the outside window

"Oh ok" I said

I tried to relax as I could and raised my eyes again

After Ario said that a waiter came to serve us food

"Thank you" I said, then the waiter left after smiling at me in return

We began to eat the food on the table so that the atmosphere of silence was only the noise of other visitors

Five minutes later the food on each of our plates was empty

"We go first" said Ario

"Other hearts" I said

"Don't forget our cooperation" Max said

"Yes" I said with a smile

Ario and Max walked out of this restaurant and in that second Gio quickly approached me

"Arlla you go anywhere I am confused looking for you" said Gio in a worried tone

"Had he gone also his own will" said Lela replied as she sat next to Gio who was sitting in Ario's seat earlier

"Shut up" Gio snapped

Heh!! I am so lazy to argue for now

"I mean" asked Gio not understanding

"What do you want now quickly say then I'll go" I said in an annoyed tone

"Rlla forgive me" said Gio

"Quick!! I don't have much time" I said in an annoyed tone

"Ok you want to know what I want" said Gio

"Non't beat the tele or I'll leave right now" I said

I'm sick of everything including seeing Lela's face

"I want you to come back and stay by my side" Gio said

"I how" asked Lela not to accept

I want to feel like I'm laughing right now but don't, it's not the time to laugh I want to ask for clarity and I don't want to waste any more time

"Camele?" just relax

"I will marry her as my responsibility" Gio said

Heh!! selfishness

But how else could I go back to my parents' house

My marriage is one and a half months old

Ok I'll agree maybe everyone thinks I'm stupid but I'm not...

I survived only to keep the family's good name

And I'm not gonna let Lela just win

"OK but...."

"But what" asked Gio

"But I can't go home now" I said

"Why" asked Gio

"Next week I'll be back" I said

I also don't want to hide for long it will trouble myself

"Ok I will wait for you" said Gio
