Beautiful Thief And The King
Momentary Meeting

Freya who was pulled suddenly behind a large tree was about to shout but her mouth was tightly closed from behind. Freya could only cry, all she thought about right now was her son. I don't know who's behind him but he's hoping for a good man so he can leave Nicholas.

The sound of the police still chasing him was heard, the sniper who had just shot him was looking for his whereabouts. They followed the trail of blood that hatched in the leaves. The fugitives they've been looking for for two years won't let go, let alone get help from the San Malino state police.

"Don't yell, it's me!" Freya was shocked when she heard Norman's voice. How come? Though he thought his hopes had been shattered but this was very coincidental.

Norman who immediately went to San Malino got information if Freya lived near the forest. Norman who wanted to meet Freya was not able to meet her openly because there were people who surrounded Freya's house.  Norman can only lurk from afar, he will help Freya to escape because of Freya's status who is still a fugitive but who would have guessed, Freya is seen fleeing while holding a baby. Norman who hid with his men would inevitably run from tree to tree from a distance far enough away so as not to be seen by the sniper and once there was a chance, he can pull Freya and now, he will bring Freya back to the palace.

"Promise not to scream?" asked Norman before releasing the hand that covered Freya's mouth.

Freya nodded hurriedly, she did not have much time as those policemen would definitely soon discover her whereabouts let alone her blood dripping more and more and wetting the grass. Norman let go of his hand, he had not expected to find Freya's whereabouts in such a state together with the baby who was definitely their child.

"I miss you, Freya. Why are you running away from me?" Norman hugged her tightly, to let go of the longing he had been yearning all along.

"I don't have much time to let go of the yearning, Norman!" Freya.

"Now come back with me!"

"No, I can't!" reject Freya. Freya turned around, Norman's gaze falling on the baby in Freya's arms.

"Why? Are you deliberately hiding yourself because you want to hide our son from me?"

"I wanted to live quietly and raise our son, Norman. I think you know our status is different and I can't be with you!"

"So you know who I am?" no wonder Freya ran away from him.

"I already know, I certainly already know!" freya answered but she looked behind the tree because she was afraid the officers were near.

"So you ran away from me because you felt unworthy to be by my side? Is there not the slightest feeling for me in your heart?" ask Norman.

"Norman, please don't discuss the unimportant. I really don't have much time!"

"No, answer me carefully Freya. Did our togetherness not leave a little feeling in your heart for me? Is there no love in your heart for me?" she is so curious as to whether there is love in Freya's heart for her that she knows whether Freya deserves her to fight or not.

"Is that answer really important, Norman? What answer can you believe from this fugitive? Do you want to believe the answer of the man who ran away from you and manipulated his death?" Freya asked a lot of questions because she wanted to know if Norman would believe her answer or not.

"Of course I believe, I trust you so answer me correctly. Do you love me?"

"I love you, Norman. I love you so I don't take medicine because I want your seed in me. I knew we were going to split up and I knew we couldn't be together so I wanted to carry your child so I could remember if I ever loved a man like you!" answer Freya. Indeed he decided not to buy medicine or prevent it because he already felt in love with Norman. A man like Norman only exists in his dreams and will not belong to him if that is why he wants something to live in him so that his love for Norman he never forgets.

"I'm glad to hear it, now I know what I have to do so come with me back to the palace!" Norman pulls Freya by the hand, but Freya pulls him away.

"No!" said Freya while shaking her head.

"Why? Don't you want to marry me and raise our son together?" he really did not understand Freya's rejection.

"It's not like that, Norman. You're a king, don't go against the rules so you're hated by your own people!" Freya.

"I know, Freya. Kendrick's been cleaning up your name!"

"Therefore wait until that time comes!"

"What do you mean?"

"I told you, Norman. I ran away from you because I do not deserve you who is a king. How can a king marry a fugitive? Please think of my position that will get scorn from your people and you will also be hated by them because you married a fugitive like me. We couldn't be together in the first place, you know that!"

"Don't be childish, Norman. You're a king, if you bring me back means you're protecting a fugitive who's being chased by the government. Do not let you have trouble with other countries so that an enmity is created. You do have power but you have to think about the state of your people. Don't do anything that could hurt you!"

"So what should I do, Freya? I'm not gonna let you out like this? Kendrick's clearing your name so come back with me!" Norman looked desperate. What Freya says is very true, if she takes Freya means she protects the fugitive and if until the American government finds out, then she will have a bad impact on the palace.

"I don't want anything, Norman. All I want is one, take good care of our son!" Freya took off the cloth that bound Nicholas who was sleeping.

"I want Nicholas to have a decent life, to be able to meet you here is his luck because he can meet his father in person" Freya gave Nicholas to Norman, now his son is in good hands.

"Freya, don't tell me you want to go!" Norman held his son who woke up and was surprised to see him.

"For now this is all that's best for us, Norman. Those cops are gonna keep chasing me so I can just keep running and hiding from them but now I'm not gonna hurt Nicholas anymore because he's in your hands so take good care of himfine."

"Follow me, Freya. I'll give you a place to hide!"

"No, you're gonna get involved for hiding me!" the cloth he used to carry Nicholas was used to tie his shoulders so that his wounds would not bleed too much.

"I don't mind at all even I'm willing to leave the palace if that's what it takes."

"I object, so don't do anything stupid!" Freya approached her son and kissed him on the cheek.

"Be a good boy, honey. Mommy will meet you someday" Freya kissed her son's cheeks again, tears flowing as this was the first time she had to part with her son. Freya even hugged her son tightly, her cries breaking. Although he did not want to part but he had to do so for the safety of his son. Norman hugged him, they had just met but they had to separate again due to circumstances.

"Take care of yourself, I'll have Kendrick clear your name quickly and by then, I'll be looking for you!" said Norman.

"Please take good care of Nicholas, please take good care of him!" freya Pinta.

"Moe..mmy!" Nicholas could just talk to him.

"Yes, Honey," Freya kisses her son's cheek nonstop.

"The trail of his blood is heading that way!" there was a police scream chasing him.

"Damn it, take Nicholas away!" freya Pinta. He's starting to freak out, lest anyone see Norman taking Nicholas.

"Wait for me, I will definitely clear your name soon so you can be as free as you once were!" said Norman.

"I'll wait, Norman!" Freya sees her son but hugs Nicholas and Norman.

"I love you, I love you!" he said in his tears. He didn't want to part, really didn't want to.

"Please be well!" Norman hugged her tightly, "I love you, Freya. So you have to come back to me!" pinta Norman tried not to shed tears.

Freya nodded, with a heavy heart Freya had to let go of her embrace. Freya stepped back while wiping away the tears.

"I have to go!" said it. Freya turned around, the officers were getting closer.

"Freya," Norman desperately wanted to prevent it but he couldn't.

"Take Nicholas away, now!" Freya.

"Moe.mmy.... Mo.mmy!"'s!" his son called back. Freya's tears are back. With the firearm lifted, Freya refused to turn away because she knew she would not be able to if she looked at her son. With tears breaking, Freya ran away the other way so the policemen could not find Norman and his son crying.

Norman hid behind a tree and cried in silence. Damn, he's so useless because he can't protect the woman he loves. Tears were removed, Norman immediately went to bring his son who was crying while Freya shot to distract the officers so that they did not hear his son's cry and chased after Norman. Norman can only hope, Freya can escape until the time she can bring Freya to the palace so they can be together again.
