Karina
The field shoulder and ideal body wrapped in his black suit increasingly disappeared after passing through the main door of Lee's palace. I looked at his departure with an ambiguous feeling.
I don't understand what this heart really feels. Anxiety, anxiety and fear mixed in a small heart of mine.
I'm not upset let alone angry just because he didn't keep his promise to me. He said he would go with me to fix the picture frame, that's his promise. But it's not a matter of concern, because I can go with Aunt Kim.
My heart's weakness is there for fear of his salvation. Every time he went all of a sudden let alone to a distant place that he could not tell where, it meant that he was on a dangerous mission.
He may have behaved badly to me long ago, very badly, but he's not as terrible as that bad woman. If not for her, perhaps I would have been a despicable woman serving dozens of men in that terrible place by now.
I don't know, I don't understand my feelings either. Human feelings are the hardest to understand.
I folded my arms, then lowered my head and prepared my heart to pray. In my prayer, I only ask that God protect her and accompany her always.
I looked at my belly that was still not growing, stroked it and said "son, you may not understand how to be a good mother. But I hope God will always protect you and your father. Pray for your father too so he can return safely"
Since morning I have been in my room. I'd better go now with Aunt Kim.
We left with the driver and two guards who seemed to have been assigned by Steven to look after me. They were not the guards who had chased me when I ran away, who had never been seen again.
I took Aunt Kim's hand, "Auntie, where are we going to fix it?" I asked him because I didn't know where to go. It's been almost two months since I got out of that horrible woman's prison and once in a while I've been out walking around with Steven but I'm still not used to the crowds and the outside world.
When I was in a crowd I felt alone in a foreign place I could not imagine.
Aunt Kim pointed to a store that looked beautiful and memorable expensive from the outside "it's a nice store Miss Karina".
We walked together into a store that Aunt Kim pointed to, a place that was big and beautiful, many photos neatly arranged and beautiful.
"Please show me the best frame you've got" Aunt Kim told the store clerk.
We follow the instructions of the waiter, so many frames of various sizes and models here. I was confused which one to choose.
"Which one is it?" ask aunt Kim.
I pay attention to every detail. Although I do not understand the style of today, but at least I can choose the best in my opinion.
I pointed at a brown frame made of wood with simple sculptures, I thought it was simple but more charming .
The male servant smiled at me, he glanced at me from the moment we first entered this shop. "Please hurry up" Aunt Kim suddenly told the waiter.
The waiter immediately attached the frame to the photo of Steven and brother Alvin that I brought. Sometimes he still glanced at me, I clasped Aunt Kim's hand in dismay.
Someone suddenly knocked on the table in front of the waiter "please hurry and just focus on your work"
Her voice was not unfamiliar, I looked at the person and it turned out to be Edward's sister.
"Sister Edward, what are you doing here?" ask her.
Brother Edward smiled to greet me, "there was only business" he replied.
"Hello bi, long time no see. The more beautiful Ija bi" said Steven to aunt and hugged her
"Aigoo you're getting good-looking, Mr. Edward" Aunt Kim replied.
"Do you know each other?" aunt Kim asked both of us.
I nodded, "we met a few times bi" I replied.
The waiter stopped our conversation because he had finished putting the frame up. I picked it up, "thank you" but the waiter just looked down. I don't know maybe he was scared after Edward's brother commemorated.
"What if we had a drink at home, auntie hasn't cooked for you for a long time" Kim told Edward's sister
He finally accepted the offer. We returned to Lee's residence followed by Edward's brother.
Arriving at home we sat in the living room and aunt Kim immediately made a dish in the kitchen.
"How can you know your aunt?" I asked Edward.
"When I was in high school, Leo, Lucas used to play in this house with Steven and Alvin" he replied.
I was surprised at the answer I just heard, "sister and Steven are friends?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "before our friendship was destroyed".
"How did you guys initially become friends?" ask again.
"When I first moved to the same school as them, almost all the students bullied me because of my background. But Alvin offered to make friends with me. All the students were afraid of Alvin's gang especially Steven, so no one dared to bother me anymore. He invited me to join their gang. So no one else dared to bother me. Oh yeah how are you? Are you all right? did Steven do anything bad to you?" ask Edward back.
I was confused to answer how it should be.
"I don't understand what's going on either, brother, but he's not evil to me" I replied.
He looked at me with pity, as if there were many questions on his mind. "I just hope good things come to you Karina. To be honest Steven is not the type of person who can do evil to women. But he's the one who will do anything when he wants something. Everything has been different since the incident happened to him" he said sadly.
"What happened, brother? And what happened to Alvin's brother?" my many.
Brother Edward hesitated to say it, obviously we are not that close to telling the bitterness of each other's past.
"Obviously, don't bring up Steven's past if you don't want him to be terrible" he warned me. I just nodded as a sign of understanding.
Aunt Kim came and brought some drinks and some dishes.
"It's true that I'm not here to repotin loh bi" said Edward did not feel good.
"It's okay sir, I just miss making something for you again. Please enjoy it" aunt Kim said, leaving us both.
We enjoyed a simple meal made by the aunt, while telling stories. It was like telling a story with your own family, more precisely with your own siblings.
"So how? Are you going to accept the proposal?" ask a guy Steven's age.
uhukk..
I was surprised that Brother Edward knew about the limp when no one told him.
"Where do you know?"
Brother Edward laughed "hahaha come on what I don't know. So how?" he said pinch my cheek.
I also still don't know if I should accept or keep rejecting Steven anymore. "I'm still confused brother, he asked me to let him make me love him" I replied.
Brother Edward looked at me sternly, "I may hate him, but did not rule out the possibility of telling you that you should also think about the child you bear. And I can't guarantee it either, but it looks like Steven really loves you. She's not the kind of person who's serious about romance, she never brings a woman into this house, and she never lets a woman know who she is and her past is" obviously, Edward is firm.
Hola Hola Readers ❤❤
Writers want to tell if this story is real from their own thinking because some of the story (about family) is inspired by the writer's own life, and some of the imagination.
