Reggie turned his head when he heard the sound of music playing from the wide open door, he looked at Amy and Derek's partner who started dancing. He smiled happily at the smile of his nona who stepped gracefully to the rhythm of the music in Derek's arms.
Reggie recalls Amy's parents, Mr. Arthur and Mother Greta. If both are still alive and see the happiness that emanates on the face of the nonanya, it will feel complete.
Heartbroken at the thought of Amy's parents and her mother, Reggie steps down the steps of the stairs to the long chair towards the park. He sat and looked at the sky, painting a face that was always able to calm him with a hug.
"I miss you so much, mom ...." Reggie whispered in the wind, he closed his eyes, let the clear grains flow down his white cheeks, let his longing drift in the wind, flew and reached his mother up there.
Mike stopped his steps, he didn't look wrong. The girl was crying. His initial intention was to find and surprise Reggie, so Mike came up with a move he arranged to avoid being heard. He could always come up with a sudden and startle the girl. But the sight he saw made Mike harden his feet until it sounded clear.
Reggie quickly wiped his tears when he heard the sound of footsteps. The girl looked alert.
"Here you look." Mike's heavy voice sounded like a softener to Reggie's agitated heart. The girl smiled.
"I didn't run away, Mike," he said.
"Yeah .. You women of the Sky Clan love to run away." Mike sat in the long chair next to Reggie. The man opened the suit he was wearing and immediately attached it to Reggie's shoulder.
"wear this. It's getting cold."
Reggie wrapped his body in that suit. Clenched him around and felt the warmth Mike's body left there. He breathed in and smelled a fragrance that he knew so well.
"Thank you" whispered Reggie quietly. A pitiful sound in Mike's ear.
"It should. Your clothes won't be able to withstand the cold."
"Not just this .. Thank you for saving Nonaku."
"If I hadn't done it, Derek would have done it."
Silence then shriveled around them. They looked up at the sky.
"That guy really helped you?" Reggie's question was very slow, as if the girl hesitated to voice it out.
"Who do you mean?" mike asked, looking back, judging Reggie's expression under the dim lights of the garden.
"Lucius Sanchez" whispered Reggie.
Mike frowned, staring probing at Reggie.
"I want to ask you a question, Regina. Do you know Sanchez?"
The girl shook her head.
"No." That slow answer somehow made Mike believe Reggie was lying. But he won't force. He will know everything slowly. Give Reggie the time he needs to calm his anxiety and open up all the causes of that anxiety.
The girl pressed the suit around her body.
"It's getting cold .. let's go inside." Mike held onto Reggie's elbow, sighed softly to invite the girl back into the mansion. But Reggie shook, the girl did not move and looked down at the end of the sandal.
"May I ask you something?"
Mike was standing looking down at the top of Reggie's head.
What makes you so nervous. Mike wondered in his heart.
While waiting and not receiving an answer, Reggie finally looked up and looked at the gray eyes that were staring at him. He swallowed.
Begged already .. I'd better say it. Reggie strengthened his doubting heart..
"Can I stay in your apartment? Just for a few moments ...." Reggie expressed his wish.
Uhh ... it's a shame.
Reggie wanted to stick his own head out. Mike nodded in surprise at his words.
Reggie didn't stop running when Mike locked him up in the apartment. Wanted to go save Amy and be with the girl. Now that he could get back together, he chose to stay in an apartment room. But Mike did not express his astonishment.
"Of course, if that's what you want." Mike's answer made a smile finally unfold on Reggie's face. The girl stood up with a smile full of gratitude. He didn't want to worry Amy. Nightmares that have haunted her since she met Lucius Sanchez have led her to groan and scream in her sleep and she would not be able to answer if Amy had started asking about the cause of her nightmares.
"Come .. we're in." Mike took Reggie by the hand and pulled him into the mansion. With a step and a lighter feeling Reggie followed him.
"Thank you .. for not asking why ...." Reggie said later. Mike nodded in understanding and felt the grip of Reggie's fingers tighten in the clutch of his arm.
**********
Reggie breathed a sigh of relief when he got to Mike's apartment. She can't forget Amy's disappointed face when she says she's staying at Mike's apartment. But he felt this was the best he could do.
Reggie gives his smile to Leon, Valet who used to take care of Mike's car.
"Good night, Regina," replied Leon.
Mike frowned seeing the two people exchanging smiles and heard Leon calling this girl next to him by the name of Regina.
"So now you know the people around my apartment, even calling each other by name?" Mike frowned looking at Reggie as he squeezed the elevator to the floor where his apartment was.
Reggie nods, sees the elevator door shut and moves to bring them to Mike's apartment.
"Yes. I know the bodyguards you put in your apartment door are Marquez and Shawn, and then there's tough old Fidel who loves warm chocolate, there's Cesar, Castro, Nick, then Silvia and Luz used to come twice a week to clean your apartment."
Reggie saw more and more wrinkles on Mike's forehead.
"Don't tell me you don't even know the name of the man who cleaned your house." Reggie raises his eyebrows, but Mike refuses to talk about it, as he does not know.
They arrive and Mike unlocks the lock code, Reggie is seen again greeting the bodyguard standing not far from where Mike is standing.
Mike deliberately linger because he wants to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"So you're still training at the boxing gym?" ask Reggie enthusiastically. The middle-aged man in front of the girl smiled and clenched his hands together while demonstrating the fist movements to the left and right of Reggie's body.
Reggie chuckled and clapped.
"I'm glad Lily finally let you back there" he said happily.
Mike cleared his throat until the two men looked over.
"Let's go in, Regina," said Mike. Regina nodded and patted the bodyguard's arm.
"I go in first" he said with a big smile. The man smiled and nodded.
Mike waited for Regina to come inside and look at his bodyguard.
"Where's your friend, Fidel?" Mike asked with a flat face.
"Ah ..he went to the toilet, sir," replied Fidel.
"You're paired with Nick?" ask Mike again.
Fidel nodded.
"Who's standing guard downstairs?"
"Shawn and Cesar, sir."
Mike nodded in satisfaction, then began to step in. Fidel straightened his body which had been slightly bent.
"Ah ... one more, Fidel. You want some warm chocolate to keep watch? I can have Reggie make it before the girl falls asleep."
Fidel looked surprised. "No, Mister. I've had enough chocolate since. Castro will replace me soon anyway."
Mike nodded and gave Fidel a thin smile that somehow felt like a warning smile by Fidel before he walked in and closed the door.
"Oh ,Lord. I don't think he knows our names. I just got transferred here anyway. The company's network is huge and many bodyguards are working for him." Fidel patted his forehead. His colleague Nick who had just returned saw his movements.
"What's wrong?" ask Nick.
"none. Just a little shocked because the number one confidant in the Langton Clan just offered me a warm chocolate."
Nick looks wide.
"I think he's a little dislikeful of Regina paying attention to us. Do you think our boss is starting to like this one blackhead?" ask Fidel to guess.
"Sttttt .. don't talk about our boss, Fidel." Nick reminded his friend. Fidel smiled apologetically.
"But I think you're right. Ever since I worked to keep an eye on the security of this apartment, no girl has ever taken her to her apartment. Regina the first ...." Nick whispered softly into fidel's ear while winking, making the middle-aged man laugh out loud.
