MERCIA
6. August Kidnapped.
August went to see Mr. Borris asked if there was anything he could do today. Mr. Borris was happy to hear it. he asked August to help him record and prepare the goods that will be delivered tomorrow.
No time has shown at nine o'clock in the evening, they say goodbye and leave the place.
August looked down at the pedestrian, remembering his conversation with Julia at the clothing store this afternoon.
"Hmm.., you said you weren't shopping, why are you here?" ask August coldly.
"whatever I am, it's none of your business!" julia answered, denying guilt.
"what are you here for, stalking me?" said Julia attacked back.
"Why don't you stalk the girl?" added again.
August is a little surprised by Julia's question as to whether the girl in question is Aira he thought.
"Is the outfit you bought for your birthday?" august asked deliberately to change the topic.
Julia's eyes sparkled a little to hear that August remembered his birthday when it was still a few days ahead and he had not invited anyone.
"It turns out you remember, then you have to come and give me a gift" Julia said.
"Are you going to wear that miniskirt on your birthday?" goda August's.
julia's face flushed.
"basic pervert, I'm not going to wear it" said Julia.
"then I won't come to give you a gift" August said indifferently.
"what do you mean, what do you think I am?!" Julia said.
"Or don't you buy that miniskirt to look like Aira?" August deliberately brought up the topic of Aira back.
"who he is I don't know!" answer Julia.
"then what did you buy that for?" ask August.
"collection" said Julia.
"well, be careful driving." said August turned around and walked out of the store.
Julia saw August leaving her just as she called her.
"hey, perverted man, come back here and help me get these groceries!" pinta Julia's.
"no" replied August.
"what do you mean you don't want to?" ask Julia upset.
"yes, don't you go shopping alone, bring your own!"
Julia grunted in annoyance.Julia painstakingly carried her groceries into the car.
"are you coming to my birthday party?" ask Julia again.
"maybe" replied August.
"If you don't come and give me a present I'll hire some thugs to beat you up." Julia threatened to start the car engine and leave without caring about August's response to hear it.
Regardless of what conversation he had today with August deep down, Julia was thrilled to learn that August remembered his birthday.
While August just smiles at the threat of Julia.
August walks past several souvenir shops, but is still confused as to what gifts to give Julia.
Suddenly he remembered something.
Ahh. that's him. I'll give it to him.
he went to a toy store and found what he was looking for, paid and left smiling.
Julia's birthday party has begun.The invited guests and close friends of Julia present enliven the atmosphere of congratulating and giving gifts.
Because both of Julia's parents are one of the most distinguished people, no wonder the party was so luxurious and festive. But it's a pity that the atmosphere doesn't make Julia happy.
There was something that stuck in his heart.he often looked around the room, sometimes also looking back and forth at the entrance.
Julia was deeply saddened in her heart yet she tried to cover up her disappointment with a forced smile.
the event was nearing its end but the people who were waiting for it did not attend.
it was almost twelve o'clock at night invited guests and college friends had resigned. Julia sat on the porch of her house with an empty look.
Both of Julia's parents fully understood what her son was feeling.
"You still waiting for him?" ask Mrs. Lockhart Julia's.
Julia was silent.
"Maybe August is having some business, tomorrow he will visit you" Mrs Lockhart said, trying to comfort her only child.
"yes maybe" replied Julia flatly full of disappointment.
shortly afterwards a blue audy car stopped in front of the yard and Nora was seen coming out of the car with a package in her hand.
"Julia I'm sorry.." Nora had not finished putting out her sentence suddenly Julia cut it off.
"August doesn't come, you come when the party's over" have I no meaning for you?" julia said with emotional turmoil in her heart.
he stood up and walked into his house.
"Wait on Julia.., don't get me wrong!" Nora tried to hold Julia.
"Go, there's nothing to explain!" Julia brushes over Nora's hand trying to hold her back.
"WHAT..!!" Julia and her parents said in unison.
"when I went to your house I stopped by a minimarket not far from your house. When I came back I saw someone who looked like August" Nora started telling me.
"i wanted to get out of my car to make sure because the lighting was so minimal"
"i intended to take her to your party together, but suddenly a car stopped nearby and two people got out of the car against her"
"i peeked out of my car"
"he wanted to fight, but the two men put their guns on, gave up and someone hit him on the head and knocked him unconscious and took him away"
"i've tried to call and text you hoping you open it, but I think you must be very busy, I've finally tried to follow them from a distance."
"they took her out of Royan, I don't dare to go any further, I'm sorry" Nora looked down.
Julia takes her phone and it turns out that it was true that Nora tried to contact her a dozen times.
"Are you sure you made sure it was August?" ask Julia's dad.
"When he fainted he dropped something" Nora replied and handed something in her hand to Julia.
Julia took it and looked at the writing on it.
'For Julia that sucks'
When he read it his hands trembled he was shocked his vision became dark he fell unconscious.
For one week there was no news of the development of August's kidnapping, even his own father who had the power could not do anything. The investigation of the police and private detectives whose father had hired all experienced a deadlock, during that time Julia did not go to college.
Julia's parents are very worried, they ask Nora to persuade him, but it remains in vain.
Julia stared at August's gift that she had not opened. long she looked at him, finally she ventured to open it.
Wrap the gift he opened slowly. Julia was surprised to see the contents of a music box.
Julia turned the small lever beside the box several times and took it off.
beautiful tones echoed, then the top of the box opened up appearing replicas of men and women spinning as if dancing.
Seeing that her memories fly takes Julia into the past.
"Hey Julia, don't go away and get scolded by your father" August said.
"i've permission with dad to go Mr. Albert's toy store with you" Julia replied.
Julia and August finally break into Mr. Albert's toy store.
"Excuse me, Mr. Albert can I have a look at your shop? I've father's permission" Julia asked respectfully.
"Oh of course, your father has contacted me please please hahaha" Albert said with pleasure.
after saying thank you Julia and August went around the famous toy store in the city of Royan was happy.
"The teddy bear is huge" Julia said in awe at the sight of a doll twice the size of her body.
Julia hugged the doll. August who saw it laughed.
"I'm going to ask Dad to buy me this doll for my birthday gift" Julia told August.
they went back around looking at the toys that were displayed in the store.
"hey look isn't it a music box" Julia asked and walked over followed by August behind her.
"how to play it?" ask Julia to August.
August observed the music box, he saw a small lever and played it.
"Hey, look at someone dancing on it" Julia said.
"Julia let's dance like that too" August's pinta grabbed Julia's hand.
Julia did not refuse him she was very happy dancing in circles like a replica in the music box. There was only a laugh of happiness.
"i'll give you that music box for your birthday present, we can keep dancing together forever" August said earnestly.
Julia who heard that her face was smiling and her eyes were twinkling.
Unknowingly Julia's tears trickled down her cheeks after recalling the incident.
Julia hurriedly wiped her tears when she heard the door of her room knock someone.
"who?" ask Julia.
"Sorry lady there's a girl looking for you, she says she's your college friend, she's waiting for you in the living room" replied the woman, who looks like she's one of the waiters at Lockhart's.
Julia heard it raise her eyebrows.Didn't Nora just get out of here why she came back.
"all right I'll see him" Julia said as she tidied herself up.
Julia came out of her room on the second floor of her house and headed for the living room.
as he went down the stairs he saw a girl who turned her back was observing one of the paintings in the room.
Julia approached the girl.
The girl realized that someone was approaching her, she turned her back.
Julia was surprised to see the girl's face.
"You..!"
