What is drowsiness and heavy eyes?
Lucia could not feel it even though she had not fallen asleep since being told about the condition of her sister yesterday afternoon. Too busy was the focus he sought help here and there, so as not to pay attention to his own condition. His face was lethargic, even his eyes were blackened, his lips were pale dry. As he remembered it was just wheat bread with peanut butter, which had been in his stomach since yesterday afternoon. And this morning had not had time to eat anything, he was sitting in front of a magnificent building belonging to the Thiago breed. Then to take a shower, lucky he still remembered it.
Lucia surrendered, she would admit defeat before the creator of this situation, if in reality really able to help her sister. He thought too carefully about his decision, even before setting foot on the floor of the largest company in Milan. At exactly 5am this morning he contacted the secretary of the owner of this company, assisted by doctor Reynald. Asking with all due respect to meet young master Javier Luz Thiago.
Resignation, no longer able to fight, as if all the struggle will be wasted. Meditating all night, making him realize the ability he has. So also this morning, a slow pat on his shoulder seemed to make Lucia wake up from a daydream full of pain.
“You okay miss?” Someone in a neat slick suit asked her, even giving Lucia a warm smile behind her worries.
Lucia suddenly stood up after a few seconds of silence like a dazed “Ah, I'm fine. Has Mr Miguel arrived?” Ask to the point
“Not Miss, in about 20 minutes she will come. If you are pleased, please wait inside.” Lucia's face again lethargic hearing the answer of one of the employees in this place. Back he lyrics round object that coiled on his wrist. Why time does not seem to move, as he remembered he had waited a long time here, but the man did not come.
Lucia nodded in agreement, at least there was not hit by strong winds and the noise of passing vehicles.
“Let's miss.” invite the employee, clearly mimic his face describes the worry of the tired-looking woman.
********
After a long wait, Lucia was finally called to meet. Not wanting to waste any more time, he immediately rushed towards the room designated as their meeting place. Precisely on the top floor of this skyscraper.
“Please miss, Mr. Miguel is waiting for you in”
“Hhmm, thank you” Lucia nodded with a brief smile.
Now stared meaningfully at the big door before him, many times he convinced himself that this was the right decision. There was no other way to save the only precious thing he still had to this day. Although Lucia and Ellio do not have a blood relationship, the bond between the two is closely intertwined. Quite once in his lifetime experienced pain because of the figure he loved most of his existence. Let him fight to the last point of blood, if Ellio's life is saved.
“Huftt..” in one breath, Lucia knocked on the door and opened it slowly. Little by little until it opens perfectly.
Without being given a pause or even time to rest, now he has been faced directly with the figure of a man who Lucia hated his existence since the first time she met. It was heavy that his feet stepped forward, in order to be closer to the two figures of the man waiting for this room.
Look at the person sitting with that triumphant sneaky smile, Lucia was eager to beat him up. With determination, he held his head straight, looking straight ahead without the slightest fear.
“Good morning Mr. Miguel.”
“Good morning lord Javier Luz.” was bowed for a moment in his head, showing respect to the lead actor in his new drama of life.
Miguel replied with a nod of the head “Please sit miss Lucia”
“Thank you, but I want to go straight to the point” reject Lucia, impressed impolite but what can be done. In addition to the time that continues to run, he also can not bear to see the proud expression of Javier.
“Oh Hey, why hurry miss.” Javier finally made a sound, even now stood up and stepped closer to Lucia. Wrong, it turns out he was about to sit on the sofa that was located right next to Lucia.
Casually the man sat there but his gaze was never separated from the figure of Lucia, as if the girl had something that made it difficult to turn away, Javier admitted that.
“Sit lady, it's still very early in the morning. What if Miguel wanted.”
Lucia clutching tightly the fringe of her pants even her jaw tightened perfectly “No need, thanks for your goodwill. Can you get straight to the point?” Cut it quick.
Javier's mouth is still gaping because the sentence hangs “Alright, it seems you are impatient” Javier continued
“I think Mr. Miguel has already told you.” reply Lucia patiently.
Javier shook his head in a fuss, his face was deliberately made like a fool and it made even more of an emotion Lucia wanted to explode
“No, Miguel didn't say anything to me” lied Javier.
“This bastard..” grumbled Lucia in heart. It looks like Javier really wants to see himself pleading and of course he will.
“For Ellio! You did this for Ellio! Not because of this bastard!” That sentence that Lucia always instilled in her heart and mind.
As soon as Lucia sighed then looked seriously at Javier “With all due respect, I would like to ask for your humility to ease my sister's operating expenses or maybe allow me to pay the cost by way of installment.”
“Wait, I don't understand” Javier frowned, as if he still doesn't understand.
“Begini, my sister is hospitalized and surgery is required. But the action was hindered by a cost that I found too great. For that, I came here asking for waivers on you” pinta Lucia to the point
“Why should I do that? If you can't afford my hospital fees, then take your sister to another cheaper hospital” Javier put on his smug face, refusing to outright Lucia's request.
“And don't you have a lot of money?! Lastly you can repay your father's debt without having to repay it.” Javier continued, being reminded back to Lucia about that night.
Lucia closed her eyes for a few seconds, trying to suppress her emotions that wanted to explode right now. Know if he is being played by Javier. Already he expected it to be like this, someone with all his power must have acted that way.
“Lucia, Do! Ellio couldn't wait any longer his inner”.
In the end, Lucia chose to drop her body with both knees as a pedestal, staring expectantly at Javier “I beg of you Mr. Javier, only you can save my sister. Whatever I will do, including if you ask me to work without being paid, I will accept. Origin of operation my sister can be done asap”
Look, victory sided with Javier “You said anything? Sure I'll do whatever I ask in exchange?” Lucia nodded confidently, there was really not the slightest doubt on the look in her eyes.
Javier smiled, then brought his face closer to Lucia and whispered “What about being j*langku?”
Instantly Lucia's entire body was hot as if it was burning, even her face was crimson with her hands and jaws tightened. Even though he had prepared himself for this one insult, but still he was still unable to accept.
Without being prevented, it escaped the clear liquid above his smooth cheek. Never terbesit in his mind will end like this. 25 years he lived, as hard as he was to maintain his purity as a woman with high self-esteem, in fact should fall into a precipitous abyss. And this is what he thought for one whole night, to the point of making him reluctant to close his eyes.
Does he regret this decision? The answer is no. It's up to Javier to look at him lightly, he won't care. So will others who will regret this decision. It sounds crazy, but it would be even crazier if he could earn that much money in one night. This was not his will, but the circumstances demanded and suppressed him.
“Sure, I've said whatever it is!” Final Lucia then returned Javier's gaze with wet eyes turned red.
“Good girl! It turned out to be this easy” Reply Javier while clapping, then raising his hand, gesturing to Miguel for something.
Miguel stepped forward with a paper ready to hand “Please sign this agreement letter miss and please read carefully”
Lucia then got up, grabbed the paper. Reading after signing without hesitation “Tell them to do the operation today also” pinta Lucia
“According to your request miss Lucia Cataline”
Seriate..
