"I want to take a shower, I smell so bad" I told Steven.
"Have you forgotten the doctor's words? You can't take a shower first" she insisted and ruffled my hair.
I pouted, "but it's so dirty" I said slowly.
"Well, I'll help you take a shower" Steven said, pushing the wheelchair into the bathroom.
No no, just hearing that I was so horrified. "No, I can do it myself. No need to bother" I refused.
"Aren't you the one who insisted on taking a shower? Why not now" he said. I tried to get up, but Steven kept me sitting.
Drrtt....
Steven's HP rang, he paused a step and searched for that HP.
"Aunt Kim will help you take a bath, I have a little business" she said stroking my hair and went to take the call.
Very quickly his mood changed, not usually he was like that.
Aunt Kim came to help me take a bath and treat my wounds.
"Thank you aunt" I said with a warm smile to the kind woman.
I went out of Steven's room looking for the guy. By pushing both wheels long enough finally the figure of the man I was looking for I had found.
"Good bye, I love you" Steven told someone on the phone.
Both of my hands stopped pushing the wheel. I think I heard it wrong again. I try to stay positive.
I went back to my room, trying to move myself to bed. My body is so tired, I want to rest.
/ Edward Apartment /
An athletic man with the face of an artist stood looking at the night sky of Seoul from the balcony of his apartment.
Facing the beautiful lights of the city that became a substitute for the star to illuminate the darkness of a gripping night.
The smoke that came out from inside the man's mouth and nose, was blown away by the cold night breeze.
The person he had been avoiding, the figure of the woman who always wanted to be the reason to run away, but at this time he was even the reason Edward felt depressed.
'Why didn't he come back? Shouldn't he have been in Korea yesterday? Even long enough he didn't send me any more messages' the contents of Edward's troubled heart.
He searched Selena's number on her HP, contacted her...
The number you are going to cannot be reached...
What's wrong with this girl? Did something happen to her? Even if I called him, it didn't take 10 seconds for him to pick up the call.
From Selena's number, he switched to Lucas' number.
"Hello Cas" he told the owner of the number.
"Can I ask Selena? Is she okay?" ask Edward politely.
"He's fine, there's just a job problem. Why don't you ask me directly anyway? Did the cold-assed Edward Lim finally fail? hahaha" Lucas replied instead.
"It's not that I'm just.." he hasn't had time to finish the words, Lucas has cut. Edward sucked back the cigarette on both sides of his right hand.
"We'll talk later, I'm busy cleaning up the person who wanted to save Karina" he replied.
"Wait, wait, what do you mean? Is Karina okay?" Edward asked immediately in panic to throw away his cigarette butt.
"He's safe, calm down" Lucas replied.
"Thank God, can you give me Karina's number?" edward Pinta.
Lucas closed the call after agreeing to give the number. Edward was so shocked and furious with the perpetrator. Usually he would lecture Lucas when doing something to someone even though the person was guilty, but this time he felt calm and let Lucas act without saying a ban.
- Karina
The sun re-emits its light as the source of life on earth. It was still early in the morning but I woke up and looked at the garden view with a glass of camomille tea in hand.
Camomille tea is excellent for making the body calm and peaceful. Steven's still asleep in my bed, he must have been so tired looking for me last night.
Drringga....
"Hello?" ask me on that unknown number on the room phone.
"Karina? are you all right? I'm with someone who wants to interrupt you" said the man on the call.
"*Sister Edward?" Manya make sure.
"Well, it's me, I asked if you're okay?" Ask again*.
"*Sister, I'm fine. Where did you get this number?" I asked.
After talking for a while, I closed the call and returned the phone to its original position.
Camomille tea made by aunt Kim was back to drink, it felt very calm after talking to brother Edward and drinking this tea.
Someone hugged me from behind, it felt so warm. I didn't fight or turn around, just like this to be more comfortable.
Steven leaned his chin against my shoulder, "good morning baby, have you been up a long time?" ask Steven.
"Yes I'm better" I replied to Steven.
"I'm sorry because when you called me, I didn't answer" she said slowly.
"It's okay because I know you'll keep looking for me" I replied slowly as well.
Steven peeped at my neck, "I love you" he said raucously.
"Hmm" I just replied with a sigh. I don't know why I don't want to say anything sweet. Hearing him say love me, it felt so taboo.
"Didn't you go to work?" ask me because it's getting late but he's not ready yet.
Steven shook his head, "I don't want to go to the office. I want to be with you all day, office business is easy" he replied in his typical lazy voice.
"What happened to that guy?" ask me about something different.
Steven pulled me to sit with him in bed, "remember I've taken care of it" he said, holding tightly to my hand.
"Take care of how? Don't tell me.." My words were cut off.
"Ssttt.it doesn't need to be discussed anymore. Now let's have breakfast, little Steven must be hungry" he said, then placed his hand on my stomach.
Steven and I cleaned up and changed our sleeping clothes in each room. Aunt Kim didn't help me take a shower because I refused, it felt uncomfortable when someone else helped me take a bath.
After the shower, we had breakfast as usual. The wounds on my hands and feet were nothing, even though they hurt, but they were nothing compared to the injuries I had sustained during my time in Jessica's prison.
"There's something I need to show you" Steven told me.
"What's that?" manya curious.
Steven took me to a room near his, a locked room I had never been in. This house is very large, spacious, luxurious, and sophisticated. Some rooms can not be opened as in general, one of them this room.
Standing at the door of the room, Steven drew his face closer to a machine or a box-shaped device beside the door.
As soon as the iron door opened, I must have been astonished by the thing I had never seen. My mouth was open, and my eyes were wide open.
"This is a door that can only be accessed with the iris of the eye" Steven told me.
"meaning?" I ask who doesn't understand at all.
"The point is, this door will only open by simply scanning the eye, the eye slices in lieu of fingerprints, and only certain people can access this room" he explained.
"Later I'll register your slices as well" he said again.
We entered the room, and I was even more astonished to see the contents of the secret room. I was so cowed to know the contents.
"This is the weapons storage room in this house" he said, spreading out both hands. The whole room is all weapons, whether it's a gun or a knife.
"Didn't the state not allow weapons?" many wonder.
Steven instead of answering, he smiled trivially.
He placed his right palm on a device similar to the iris scan. And then the glass cabinet door where the gun was opened.
He pulled out a silver gun, he saw the whole side of it. "How fair do you think the law is? Do you think the law will side with you and protect you?" askalanya.
"Why are you saying that?" my many. Steven gave me the gun.
He raised his eyebrows, "there is an expression, only you can address yourself. It means that if you want to win and survive, then you have to fight. Life is about the battle of Karina, if you are weak and rely only on something, then you will be conquered. You have to be strong, you have to fight, because ultimately all will choose the strong side only" he explained at length with a complicated meaning.
The contents of my brain were filled with questions because I did not understand, I don't know what he meant. I saw the gun, I don't know what kind it is, but it's very heavy.
"Today I'm going to teach you how to fight" Steven said, pointing to an old teddy bear in the corner of the room.
