Flash back a few hours before....
After dinner at the Barrent family's main house. For some reason, Clara remembers Edward. It's been since last night he hasn't seen Kenzo's right hand. Clara is still preoccupied with the agency that requires her presence, as Edward cannot represent Kenzo at this time.
"Hey..why daydream darling?" mrs Monica's asking surprised Clara. He's still sitting at their table eating and hasn't moved since
Clara slightly gasped and turned to Madame Monica who had just finished washing her hands
"Mom, I'll be out for a while" said Clara. He wanted to go see the stone man. Somehow, he was so pity to see Edward no one accompanied him in the basement of Kenzo's mansion. His injuries are quite severe until now Edward still has to be treated there.
"Where are you going, it's Clara's night" asked Mrs Monica who looked confused at her daughter
"Kemansion sister" replied Clara
Madam Monic immediately scrunched her forehead and looked at Clara fixedly.
"You must be hiding something from us. Does Kenzo still not want to bring himself up" asked Mrs Monica so hot
"Later mommy will know. Mommy just has to wait, okay" replied Clara. He started to move and grabbed a lunchbox that was there. Wanted to bring a little bit of asparagus soup for Edward.
"You make mommy like there's no price anymore" muttered Madam Monica who sat down with a sad face. Clara's hand, which was pouring soup into her food box, came to a halt. He looked at his mother's face that looked sad and disappointed.
But what does he have to do, Kenzo says if he's gonna take care of everything later. Clara can't do anything now either. He knows how stubborn Kenzo and his parents were, since they never got along
"Mom.." call Clara, who comes straight to her mother. He rubbed the back of Madame Monica gently
"Mommy knows how Ken's brother is" Clara said
"She even scared mommy because of the news of her death" muttered Mrs Monica. He already knows if Kenzo's alive because Clara told him. News of the Kenzo mansion attack had been heard so they inevitably Clara revealed what really happened.
"Mom, in a moment, after Ken's brother has solved his problem, he must come back and see mommy" Clara said again
Madam Monica just kept quiet while wiping away the tear from her face. He missed his son so much.
"He kept this a secret from us because he didn't want us to get involved in his problems. He was quite traumatized by the events of that time. Mommy has to understand and be patient a little. Mommy knows Ken's brother is stubborn" Clara said, trying to appease his mother
"Well, it's all mommy's fault. Mommy just misses him so much" replied Miss Monic
"Sir Ken must have missed mommy too" replied Clara who immediately hugged her mother
After calming his mother. Clara went straight to Kenzo's kemansion. He brought two boxes of food, because Madame Monic left one for Kenzo.
But upon his arrival at the dimension, Clara did not meet the American lord because Kenzo who was at the time at home Alena.
So he decided to see Edward downstairs.
Clara walked a little. The atmosphere under the Kenzo mansion was really gripping. The lights were installed only a few, even the light was dimmed as well. Even though he was accompanied by a guard, he was still afraid.
And finally he came to Edward's room. Without knocking on the door, Clara immediately opened her and barged in. But he was immediately surprised when he saw Edward who fell beside his bed
"Jeez Ed !!!" clara shouted that immediately ran inside. He placed the food box he was carrying on the table and quickly helped Edward to stand up. Although tired because of Edward's large body, but finally the stone man can sit back in his bed.
Edward's face paled yet slightly red, perhaps he was enduring his pain.
"Why did it fall, where are you going?" clara asked with a breath that was stingy because really holding Edward's body really needed energy
"Bathroom" replied Edward. He slightly grimaced as he confirmed his broken-legged pan.
"Gosh, why aren't there any nurses here. Let me help you, wait a minute" Clara grabbed a wheelchair nearby and brought it closer to Edward
"Here sit down" said Clara
Edward watched Clara's face closely and turned back to her wheelchair
"Quickly, I don't want you to pee dicelana" Clara said again
Edward snorted and shook his head slowly
"But.." Edward's words were immediately cut off as Clara immediately withdrew her hand. Until inevitably Edward again lowered his healthy legs to hold his body.
And again, finally after much effort, Edward could sit in his wheelchair. And Clara immediately pushed the wheelchair into the bathroom.
"You can do it yourself?" ask Clara
Edward looked up and looked at Clara strangely
"Do you want to help me and see it?" ask Edward. Clara immediately gasped and reflexively slapped Edward's shoulder making the man instantly grimace in pain.
"Aaahh.sorry. I was not intentionally. It's your fault" Clara said so frantically looking at Edward in pain and holding his injured shoulder
"Miss who offered help, why I was wrong" Edward said
Clara snorted but her face turned red
"I forgot" he replied
Edward smiled and shook his head
"I can do it myself, thank you" Edward said
Clara blinked slowly and immediately turned her face away from Edward. That smile really made her awkward
"Well, when you're done call me" said Clara, who left Edward there.
Edward smiled and returned. Actually he fell not because he could not stand, even though his legs were broken, but he was already capable enough to take care of himself. She just tries to get Clara's attention, and turns Clara's reaction to her wishes.
A few minutes later, the sound of the door opening instantly shocked Clara. He immediately turned his head towards the door and Edward was already out from inside.
Clara immediately grabbed Edward's wheelchair and brought him back to bed. But Edward was still sitting there because Clara had not helped him to ride
"Have you eaten?" ask Clara who is now sitting in the chair while her hands reach for the food box she brought earlier
"Lunch this afternoon" replied Edward
"I brought asparagus soup. Eat" said Clara, who handed Edward the box.
But Edward was staring, he just looked at the box flatly made Clara look at him strangely
"What's wrong?" ask Clara
Edward smiled and shook his head slowly. He wanted to reach for the box, but was pulled back by Clara, and now Edward's replacement frowned in confusion
"Let me" said Clara. Looking at Edward's right hand which is still attached to the infusion hose makes his heartless
"Let's open your mouth" Clara asked. And Edward opened his mouth. Clara smiled and put a spoonful of asparagus in Edward's mouth
Edward couldn't help but smile, for the rest of his life, only Clara treated him like this. And really, her heart was really touched by this girl's treatment
"Why are you smiling like that.?" ask Clara who keeps feeding her soup into Edward's mouth
Clara laughed and shook her head
"Can't not. It's just that you never smiled. And when you came to your senses from your coma, you were weird. Even every time you meet you always smile at me" Clara said
Edward opened his mouth and continued to eat the soup that he really did not like, but from the hands of Clara, everything feels good now
"Only to you, miss" replied Edward. Clara's hand that was stirring her soup instantly came to a halt. But back up and take it again. He grunts a smile and looks at Edward
"Why just me?" ask Clara
"I don't know" replied Edward
"Basic freak. Already, spend this" said Clara who returned to feed her soup. Edward enjoyed every mouthful of Clara. Don't know what it's like, but he's so happy. Ever since last night he's been waiting for this girl's presence. But tonight, the wait finally paid off. Well, even if it has to be a little weak and acting no problem is not it. Most importantly, Kenzo Barrent did not come and disturb him.
"It's been" said Clara who was so happy to see Edward drain his soup voraciously. Even though he didn't know how Edward didn't like it.
"It's time for you to rest" Clara said. He immediately got up and grabbed Edward's wheelchair by his basket
"You're asking me to sleep?" edward asked to look at Clara's face that was getting more and more beautiful and mature
"Not really, but at least you can lie down. Your wounds still hurt" replied Clara. Edward just nodded. Clara helped Edward to get into bed by holding both arms. But somehow what happened, when Edward wanted to sit his legs hit the iron edge of the bed made him grimace sick and Clara also immediately slipped because of shock, until finally they both immediately fell into bed with Clara's body directly crashed into Edward's chest.
Edward grimaced in pain as his chest and injured shoulder were pressured by Clara's body. But when he saw that beautiful face up close, he immediately stared. Similarly to Clara, their eyes collided for a moment, looking at each other intently. Even Edward's heartbeat rippled strongly, as well as Clara's heart that somehow beat not because of the sharp eyes.
Unable to stand it any longer, Edward closed his eyes and slightly pushed Clara's shoulders. Clara gasped again and immediately rolled over from the top of Edward's body. He was really panicking seeing Edward in pain
"Sorry.I didn't mean it" said Clara, who helped Edward to raise his legs up in bed slowly and fearfully. He was worried because again Edward's face paled now
Clara approached Edward, even unconsciously climbing on the stone man's bed and wanted to examine Edward's chest wound. But Edward immediately grabbed Clara's hands making the girl gasp. They returned to their eyes fixed. Edward's eyes were so deep it felt through Clara's heart
"It's okay" said Edward so slowly but with a thin smile on his face
Edward grabbed Clara's body and immediately hugged her tightly. Making Clara sculpt and blink her eyes in disbelief.
"Ed..." he was in the arms of the man who had been her loyal bodyguard all along
"Just for a moment, let it be like this first" pinta Edward who still hugged Clara tightly. Even Edward's rumbling heartbeat could be felt by Clara.
Not knowing what happened to this stone man, but ever since he realized from his coma, Edward was strange and always said something that seemed to disturb Clara's heart.
And finally, Clara also returned Edward's embrace and gently patted the adult's burly shoulder.
Long Edward hugged Clara, as if he wanted to spill all his feelings all along. All the fear, sadness, loneliness, and love that has not been present since when.
And after feeling satisfied and calm, Edward let go of his embrace. Looking at Clara who was still silent with her puzzled face
"Sorry" said Edward who bowed and sighed slowly
Clara smiled, she grabbed Edward's hand and grasped it gently, making Edward turn his head back towards her
"Is there anything you want?" ask Clara
Edward was silent and did not understand
"You're kind of harboring something Ed, I'm sure your cold and stone attitude is because you must be harboring all your own feelings" Clara said
Edward smiled and shook his head
"Right now, all I want is one lady" Edward said
"What?" ask Clara
"You are here with me" replied Edward.
And.. again, Clara was made sculpted by that word
"I'm here" replied Clara
"Your" she added again
And Clara can feel her hand clasped by Edward
"Can I see you until I am no longer in this world?" ask Edward
"Why say that." asked Clara dislikes it
"You will continue to be my bodyguard until I am old. Can't go anywhere" Clara said again
Edward looked at Clara's face with a sting
"Supply only?" tannya
"Eitherwith?" ask Clara anyway
Edward smiled faintly and shook his head. He let go of Clara's hand and closed his eyes. Do not know why his heart suddenly felt pain and like a crashing. He should have known, if Clara would definitely only consider him a bodyguard, not some other special thing.
Clara still looked at Edward's face that had turned flat and closed her eyes. Clara's hand was still holding that hand which no longer reacted. What was his word wrong????
Clara just wanted Edward to accompany her at any time. There is no good man but his brother and father except Edward. And Reymond, Reymond is not his destiny, he has given up the man and hopes Reymond is happy with his future wife.
Clara spread her body beside Edward, and hugged the arm with a heart that felt lethargic.
Edward only glanced at Clara at a glance, she was awkward actually, but to refuse, it felt incapable because she was so peaceful if Clara was nearby
"Am I wrong? I just want you to accompany me and take care of me until I'm old" Clara said without looking at Edward's face
"Even if you're annoying and cold as a rock, but no one else takes care of me like you. Not even Ken's brother is as chatty as you in worrying about me" Clara added
He looked up and looked at Edward
"Don't you want to keep me until I'm old?" ask Clara.
Edward smiled and tilted his body towards Clara. He rubbed Clara's head in doubt
"As long as I'm still breathing, then I will always protect and take care of the lady" Edward replied
"Promise" pinta Clara
"Yes" replied Edward
Clara smiled and hugged Edward. Make the man look at the man with the hanging hand
"Thank you. You are the best" said Clara
Edward snorted a faint smile and returned Clara's embrace. Although initially hesitant, but over time he began to lulled and forget if Clara was his king sister.
Even unconsciously because of long hugging, they are even the same as falling asleep. And they wake up when Kenzo comes and catches them both.
