The next day, Mia's eyes looked puffy and swollen. Coincidentally that day, Willia was in charge of guarding and serving Mia. The young girl was surprised to see her nonanya coming out of the room with such a reddened face.
"No-, Miss, what's going on?" willia asked, seeing Finn on Mia's bed without clothes. Willia immediately grabbed Mia and helped her to sit on the long sofa.
"Guide me to the back garden and please tell the guards to forbid anyone from entering there" Mia said, her eyes blank.
That night, Mia's feelings were mixed. He is afraid of Finn but on the other hand, there is something that makes him continue to want to know more about Finn Walter.
All her kisses and touches are very different from when they were in touch. Even gently, Finn mentioned his name in a whisper.
One thing that makes Mia upset and cry is that Finn does it just because he wants to, not based on love. However, again he was made aware of the fact, if he was just a piece of merchandise.
Her tears flowed back if she remembered that. There was a pain in his heart that he could not explain. Mia wiped her tears and looked back at the tree and grass that stretched wide before her.
"Miss, you need anything?" ask Willia. She didn't know what to do when Mia was sad like this.
Mia shakes. "No, I just want you to stay here and keep me company, Willia,"
"Do I have to call Mr Winston?" willia asked again, usually if Mia wants someone by her side, then she would be happy if Josh was with her.
Yet again Mia nodded. "No need, Willia. Stay by my side and please don't tell anyone about my condition this morning. Promise me!"
"Well, miss," replied Willia resignedly.
Mia's memory returned to Finn last night, and she was visibly upset when Mia was close to Josh. Therefore, Mia did not want to see Finn as angry again as last night.
Why would Finn be angry? She shouldn't have to get that angry just because Mia is close to Josh? As Mia was engrossed in her thoughts, a man she was thinking of came up to her.
"Mia, accompany me to eat!" without further ado, Finn pulled Mia's hand and half dragged her.
"You don't have to be this rough, Finn!" protesting Mia, she jerked her hand to escape Finn's grip.
Finn took off Mia's hand. "Alright, Miss. Would you accompany me to eat?"
Finn's face became as red as a strawberry ready to pick and he felt his body temperature rise. Not only Finn felt this change, Mia who thought Finn was sick immediately put her palms on Finn's forehead and cheeks, and even make Finn's face smoky.
"You have a fever? You ill? Here I check," said Mia. He even put his forehead on Finn's forehead. "You're okay, but why is your face flushed?"
"Stupid!" finn's curse was slow and he walked ahead of Mia to the dinner table.
A waiter helps Mia to pull up a dining chair and another serves a variety of bread and jams and drinks, ranging from milk, coffee, tea, and even red wine. After everything was presented at the table, the servants closed the dining room door.
"Eat a lot. Last night you were tired" said Finn, his face still red.
Not only Finn's face reddened, Mia also felt her body's hot temperature creeping up. "A-I'm not tired. You always forced me!"
"Well, tonight I'll ask you first" Finn said briefly.
"Eh, la-, again?" mia said in surprise, her already red face became extremely red again.
Finn smelled his smile. He still did not want Mia to see him smile as if enjoying the cute behavior of the girl.
Throughout the day, Finn's attitude became warmer and friendlier. He invites Mia to have breakfast together, walk in the park, even accompany her to chat on the wall that she used to climb with Josh.
"You're really torturing me, Mia! Just this time I was basking in the sun, let alone climbing like this! Only you can make me like this!" finn gasped for breath as he climbed a tree to get to the top.
Sure enough what Mia said, several groups of mothers looked up and waved their hands towards Mia. "Good morning, Mia. How are you today?"
"Good morning, Madam. Good news, thank you. Have a nice day" Mia replied with her sweet big smile.
"Oh, there's Mr. Walter. Good morning, sir," said another mother.
Finn replied to them with a slightly forced awkward smile.
"A sincere smile, Finn. They can feel it" Mia said again.
"It has. That was my best smile, they should have said thank you! What happened to Mia? Why not Mrs Walter?" sue Finn. For some reason, it's hard for Mia to pin Walter's name behind her.
Mia frowned. "My name is Mia, right? I'm not officially your wife yet,"
"Is that? Then, if it's not official, why did you enjoy our release last night so much? Can you try to explain?" tempt Finn while locking both of Mia's blue beads.
A red tinge appeared again on Mia's beautiful face. "I-, that's ka-, because, ... Never mind, no need to talk about it!"
Although annoyed, but Mia still smiled in her heart. Mia recalled their release last night and her heart was pounding again as she recalled that, her face flushed red.
"What are you thinking?" ask Finn who noticed the change in Mia's face. "Oh, you must be thinking things out, right? It's clearly on your face, Mia. Ahhaha!" The pale and handsome man could not help but laugh at the girl beside him.
"Curtain! Stop teasing me!" mia blushed in shame.
Finn linked his fingers on Mia's palm. "Let me be like this for a second,"
"You're not looking for Josh?" ask Finn again.
Mia shakes. "You're against me, aren't you? Besides, you've been with me here, so thank you,"
Finn looked at Mia's face. He watched every move the girl made. "Did I tell you you were beautiful?"
"Oh, I didn't think of that. I was just thinking how I could repay my parents' debts" Mia replied.
"Let's just say your parents never sold you out and you don't have to think about those debts" Finn said. There was a new hope he wanted to convey to Mia, but he himself was still not convinced by that hope.
"I can't be like that. You have spent more money than you should have," said Mia. The girl did not know what she was going to do after the debt paid off.
Sebersit pangsih when Mia imagines having to leave Finn later. He did not yet understand what complex feeling now occupied his heart.
"Never think of leaving here because I bought you, Mia" Finn said sharply.
"Ti-, no!" Mia wondered, how did Finn know what he was thinking?
"Because I bought you, you're mine!" finn said again, he looked at the dancing blue eyeballs before him and slowly, he kissed the reddish lips as if he kept calling his name asking to be touched. "You're mine forever, Mia."
Mia returned the sweet kiss by closing her eyes. Without them knowing, beneath them was someone who looked at them hatefully.
"Finn Walter, you've set the war drums on me!" muttered the man as it passed.
