Acknowledging that she did have a crush on Daryl, Eva said,
"Because he's so handsome, cool, and sweet at the same time."
The cold and indifferent nature of Daryl does have its own charm for women. But of course it only applies because Daryl has a beautiful face. On the other hand, his nature towards the people he cares about is inversely related to what is known to the public.
"But when my parents sold me, I expected someone else to come."
"People I never thought of before."
Sometimes, it's hard for someone to understand what they're really feeling, when they're overconfident with what they think is right.
"When he came back after all this time, when he found out that he had been looking for me all this time, it felt a little sad. I don't want to make him suffer."
Silent for a moment, a smile was then drawn on Eva's face.
"But to be honest, I can't deny that it also makes me very happy."
Answering Ashley's questions asking when Eva was forced to leave her family, the woman replied when she was 13.
After being searched for more than ten years and finally found, Eva suddenly disappeared again. Ashley understands how frustrated Will is about that. Moreover, when the person he thought could help him save Eva from Far, it turned out to be nothing more than a baj** and who did not care about the woman's life.
However, it was still unable to remove Ashley's dislike of the blonde man who dared to deceive her. Similarly, with himself, who managed to be deceived easily by strangers.
Regretful indeed, but if not for Will's lies, he will not realize what he really feels. Reason that can make him accept the man's lies positively.
Continuing her story, Eva tells about how she ended up at Guilherme's place. He said that the noble selling one of his children to pay the debt was normal.
After moving to various regions even outside the kingdom, changing professions and also ownership, Guilherme finally bought it at a slave market at a cheap price. By then, if it doesn't sell, it's possible that all of his organs and other parts of his body will be scattered on the black market, leaving only a name that his family won't even remember.
His nature at that time was very different from the current one. The girl Daryl knew was the cheerful and loving Thalistine. The woman Ashley knew was Eva who loved fun and challenging things. Whereas what Guilherme saw at that time was a slave who hated the world and the rest but still tried to survive.
Giving her a new life with limits but also freedom, Guilherme changed Thalistine's name to Eva. Afterwards, as if she had been reborn, Eva was able to forget all her bad memories as Thalistine. The thing that made her so fond of Eva's name and throw out Thalistine.
A new name with a new personality? For Ashley, it was nothing more than theatricality and self-deception.
"Name is important. What matters is you."
Hearing such a cold statement from Ashley even though she had told the background of her thoughts, Eva felt disappointed.
"How can you say that?"
"Over this time, my name was my identity, which showed who I really was. It all has meaning."
"That means you're just hiding behind your name, rather than pointing at your true self."
Increasingly offended by Blonde's words, Eva frowned. Turning her face away, the woman felt Ashley would not understand how she felt.
"No, you don't understand."
"Ga. The one you don't understand."
Rising from her sleep and sitting staring at Eva, Ashley then continued,
"Why do you name yourself lo ngebatasin lo?"
"That's what you call identity, what's your own trus lo?"
For Ashley, a name is nothing more than a label to call someone. To think of names as prayer and honor is not wrong. But the position of the name should not be the core of a person.
"Who's the name of nintuin who are you, who's the cave? El, Ashelia that's not the name of the cave."
"Lo want to say gabisa cave to be yourself cave because gabisa cave uses the original name of the cave?"
Glancing at the blonde girl's left leg, Eva was increasingly rendered speechless. He even had to give up his left leg to become Ashelia?
Not that extreme. But indirectly, yes.
Not only did he lose his leg, he even had to live with the identity of others? Unable to imagine the feelings of the nameless girl, Eva looked at Ashley pity.
However, he soon realized that he was looking into Ashley's eyes. Who should feel sorry for whom?
No matter where and how she was, the blonde girl kept trying to be herself. Having a name or not, he did not care, because his identity was himself. Even if time and pain would change Ashley completely later, she would still recognize the change as part of her identity.
"Don't take your name higher than yourself."
"But yeah, how can you know your own value, if you gabisa nerima the past lo?" Ashley continued with a smeared face.
Oh, poor Thalistine. Forgotten by himself after all the pain and suffering he experienced. For the sake of feeling better, Eva even forgot the life and death struggle of the poor girl. But he knew very well, what it was like to wait for tomorrow to come just to prove that he managed to survive today.
Looking at Eva who had received herself completely, Ashley again laid her body on the cold floor.
Not disliking her old self, Eva is actually more unable to accept the fact that she has to lose all her dreams and live as a prostitute forever. Then after being able to accept the reality, he decided to become whoever he was without blaming the circumstances.
"May I know your real name?" Eva asked who was back lying next to Ashley.
"Lo can be cursed."
Laughing at the reply of the girl next to him, Eva then said if the curse came from Ashley then she did not mind at all.
Not giving a reply, the Blonde let the identity talk end there. But not with the actions he wants to take. After hearing it all, there was one thing Ashley really wanted to do.
In that silent pause, the blonde woman suddenly said that she was going to take Eva out. Smiling gently, the petite woman beside him also believed that Ashley's arrival there was to take her out.
But not just out of that warehouse.
"Guilherme's got a debt to the cave."
"Gua was sure he wouldn't mind selling you to the cave."
Stunned, Eva simply glanced at the girl next to her, not believing what Ashley had just said.
Although it sounds strange from a normal point of view, but Eva is able to capture it as the most noble thing. A salvation for one who no longer has a right to himself due to the contract of slavery.
"Does that mean I'll always be with you?"
"Ga always, but often."
Eva was lucky that Guilherme found her at the time, but being able to continue with Ashley was also one of the things she really wanted. No problem, right? If you feel happy about it?
Eva Miller doesn't sound bad either.
"Milers?"
"Cave citizens."
Instantly closing her mouth using both hands, Eva was speechless. Her eyes twinkled at the side of Ashley's face that did not bear any expression at all. As if she had been too happy, Eva felt dead after this she would not regret.
"Ha!? Who ngijinin you died before the proof of your usefulness?"
"Lo thinks just anyone can make a cave clan!?" The words of the woman who a moment ago said name are not important.
Still very rude and threatening as usual, Blonde still does not want to lose his title as a tyrant. However, Eva is able to understand all the implied messages stored in Ashley's speech. It made him even more confident to follow the woman no matter how dangerous it was.
