Seeing no response from Elie and the woman was just silent, Mikel could already guess if Elie was disappointed in him. And his assumption was further strengthened when he saw Elie turning her back, then stepping away.
"Elie.." Yeah...." Mikel's hand just hangs in the air. He could understand that Elie was currently disappointed in him. So that he did not prevent Elie who stepped out of the room and away from him.
Looking at Elie's back that had vanished from the sight of her eyes, Mikel was only able to lower her gaze to the worn floor that her feet were treading on. But Mikel's bowed face slowly lifted as a pair of straight legs that exposed his smooth legs freely seemed to fill Mikel's vision.
"Sweetheart?" Mikel raised his face. For a moment flabbergasted that suddenly Elie came back to see her.
Without speaking, Elie grabbed one of Mikel's hands, then rubbed the back of the man's hand which looked bluish bruised using a towel that had been moistened with cold water first. Elie gets the towel from inside Mikel's room, the woman is also seen carrying a container placed on a table in the room.
Mikel let Elie sweep the towel alternately on her right and left hand. His eyes become sad, usually if he is injured, will be left all day without being compressed as the woman is doing. What Elie does can only make him touched, because it is like seeing the figure of Mommy Aprille who always does that when he is injured in the past.
"Why look at me like that?" Still focused on the backs of Mikel's hands, Elie asked. Although the direction of his gaze was on the back of Mikel's hand, Elie could feel that the man was watching her.
"Are you mad at me, Sweetheart?" And Mikel answered Elie's question with a question. Mikel could not wait to find out what the woman was thinking when she knew everything.
Elie resounded, she just continued her activities without responding or looking at Mikel like the man who had not taken his eyes off her.
Mikel still melamlamati Elie's face that looks serious, until then Mikel felt the back of his hand already feel better.
"Sweetheart, you must be disappointed in me. I'm sorry." Putting on a face full of regret.
Elie put down the towel, then looked closely at the face of the man she loved. "No. I'm not disappointed and I'm not angry either." And a thin arch was imprinted at the corner of Elie's lips. There was no anger from the radiance of his two eyes that continued to look at Mikel.
"Are you really not angry and disappointed in me?" Mikel's two eyes glared, not believing so easily if the woman was not disappointed in him.
"really. Do I look angry at this time?" Elie ruffled her waist, feeling puffed up as Mikel continuously urged herself. He was neither angry nor disappointed as Mikel thought. "You must have a reason to do that. So I can understand you." Hearing Elie's words, the smile on the corner of Mikel's lips developed perfectly, then her hand grabbed Elie's hip and held her tightly.
"You really are my best woman Sweetheart."
"Have it stopped, Mike!" You're making me unable to breathe." Repeatedly Elie patted Mikel's chest, she found it difficult to breathe inside her man's arms.
"I'm sorry Sweetheart." Mikel let go of his embrace, cupping Elie's face with anxiety.
"Speak. What exactly is going on? I'm not a stupid woman, Mike. Did you forget I was Daddy Vier's daughter? I know you must have no choice, because if you really knew everything you would have wiped me out long ago." What Elie said was true, even Mikel could not argue. Because he did not know about the genealogy of the descendants of the Black Lion, because all this time he was too busy taking care of the company and fled from Loz Zetas.
Mikel's hands suddenly moved away from Elie's face, the man stared fixedly at Elie's face, feeling useless to cover everything, because he could not underestimate the woman. "Right, I don't have any other choice. Mei and my assistant Nathan are in Pablo's hands. That bastard took advantage of my weakness to launch his plan of destroying Black Lion through me!"
Surprised to hear it, Elie was stunned for a moment. So Meisha is alive too? And the man he saw always following Mikel was also in danger? it is hard to believe what he hears.
"Ja-so May's still alive?" Elie made sure he came back. And Mikel's nodding answer already represented his disbelief. Previously Mikel did not say the whole incident that befell Uncle Matthew and Aunt Aprille so he concluded that Meisha was also in the Headquarters that was burned.
"You mean right now Mei and Nathan are in Pablo's hands? The guy you said was the head of Loz Zetas?" It felt as if Elie was almost at a loss for words hearing it. It was a difficult choice, it was fitting that he saw Mikel looking very frustrated.
"May is still alive but his condition is not very good. She was raped on her seventeenth birthday by my Uncle's son who was also involved in the murder of my parents. From then on Mei's soul was shaken, she always just yelled hysterically." And Elie was more unable to control herself when she heard stories about Meisha's condition after the woman was raped. Even Elie covered her mouth with her palms accompanied by her already condensed eyes.
"May.." he muttered. Even he could not imagine his little friend having to experience such a great shock in youth.
Unlike Elie who was sobbing, Mikel actually looked calm while gently rubbing Elie's back, even several times he sprinkled a kiss on the top of his woman's head. Sad for sure, but he had been able to get through it for many years and because the burning grudge had kept him going all this time.
"Sweetheart, don't cry." Mikel tried to calm her woman down.
"How can I not cry. Poor Mei had to feel a terrible event when she was still the same young as me," she turned over to make the movement of Mikel's palms increasingly quickly move up and down on Elie's back to provide calm. "And right now Mei and Nathan are in danger, I'm afraid they're hurt and-"
"Shhttt...." Mikel's voice stopped Elie's sentence with her bad thoughts. "I won't let them hurt Mei and Nathan. They'll die at my hands before they do that." The look in Mikel's eyes turned sharp, emitting stifled anger.
Elie nodded in agreement, believing Mikel that the man could not be silent without acting. Elie then took a deep breath to stop her sobbing.
"Hopefully you can save Mei and Nathan's assistant." Elie's voice was not so clear because it was muffled in her sobs but Mikel understood what the woman said until her head was seen nodding.
"Then I have to train you again. Haven't you honed your skills in a long time, hm?" Mikel helped rub the remaining clear liquid in the corner of Elie's eye.
Elie flinched for a moment before then nodding confirming. Where he had honed his skills, because he was too busy living his profession as a model who was always outside the city.
"Where do you know if I've never honed my skills again?" Of course Elie was curious because Mikel seemed to know whatever his activities were.
Mikel answered him with a chuckle, where he might tell if he had always been watching Elie from a distance.
"I'll train you. Come with me." Mikel then pulled Elie's wrist.
"Where do you want to take me, Mike?" Followed Mikel in front of him.
"Of course help you change clothes." Mikel smiled mischievously.
"Don't be a pervert, Mike!" Elie tried to pull the hand that was increasingly held by Mikel.
"I'm not perverted. I just want to help you change your clothes." Still with a smile full of a million meanings.
"But-" Too late, Mikel had already carried Elie's body on his shoulder so that the woman was not easy to rebel and protest back.
To be continue
