Scarlet left after talking to Sister Agnes and Sister Maria. He also played with the children who were there and bought food for them of course with his own money. He did not want to go, indeed, he wanted to be there because he knew when he came back to Samuel's house he would be back to being the man's puppet and he had to always do whatever Samuel wanted however, he said, he would thank Samuel for saving the orphanage.
Scarlet left when the time was five in the afternoon. Maybe he'll arrive at eight o'clock in the evening or nine o'clock. Today, he really is back to what he used to be because Samuel wasn't looking for him. He felt free without being bound by anything but when he returned to Samuel's house, the chains that bound his feet would be re-attached.
The distance from the bus stop was quite far, Scarlet walked leisurely along the sidewalk. He wanted to enjoy his time of solitude for a while even he hoped that time would come to a halt for him. The quiet road suddenly made him afraid because he felt that someone was following from behind. Scarlet turned away, a man tailing her from a distance. Shit, don't tell me there's a stalker.
Scarlet rushed up the pace, she even ran towards the bus stop because she was scared. The man who followed her chased after her, Scarlet grew even more frightened because she thought that man was a criminal.
"Don't follow me!" scarlet shouted without stopping her running.
"Wait, Miss!" the stranger he didn't know asked him to wait but the frightened Scarlet just ran faster. Luckily the bus he was going to ride had come so Scarlet did not have to bother avoiding let alone the bus was directly on the road because there were no other passengers.
Scarlet held onto her chest while adjusting her nearly severed breath. Almost, even though the area has been safe since then but somehow now there are criminals. Scarlet looked back, the man who was chasing her just now was like he was contacting someone. Don't tell me that man is the messenger of the Darien family who doesn't accept Susan being in prison because of her actions but the guess is wrong because the man who is after her would naturally want to meet her.
Because of that incident, Scarlet was getting more vigilant. He did not want to linger anymore therefore Scarlet arrived sooner than expected. At half-eight he had arrived, Scarlet sighed as she got down from the taxi she was riding in. That magnificent mansion was a prison that would lock him up for two years but he had already decided to obey so he had to enjoy it.
With a feeling of reluctance and heaviness, Scarlet stepped inside towards her golden cage. Scarlet opened the door slowly, she even wanted to enter in a way to settle down but she was surprised when Samuel appeared from behind the door.
"Why did you just come back?" ask Samuel.
"Me, um?" Scarlet had not finished her words but Samuel had already hugged her so much that it made her shocked.
"I thought you'd run away again and never come back" Samuel said.
"I'd really like to run away from you Samuel, but I can't because I know what I'm doing is a waste."
"You better not do it 'cause I'm gonna find you want to go as far as you run, Scarlet. As far as you run even to the ends of the world, you will still find me!"
"I know, that's why I didn't run. I'm tired, can you let me go? I've been outside for so long, so my clothes and my body are dirty. Don't let your phobias come back because of me!"
"If my phobias relapse then I'll punish you!" said Samuel.
"I know what you want, Samuel," Scarlet stepped back and looked at Samuel.
"Let me take a shower first and after that, I'll serve you until you're satisfied!" said again.
"Why are you saying that?" samuel's facial expression changed, he looked displeased with the words Scarlet had just said.
"Foolish, don't come to conclusions because I didn't buy a ja*ang!"
"What does that word mean? You did buy me as your lover for two years which means, I am your ja*ang for the next two years. Now that you can do it, I won't refuse if you're not disgusted!" I don't know why he would talk like that and start a debate that doesn't matter.
"What happened to you but listen to me!" Samuel stepped closer and raised Scarlet's chin. The two of them looked at each other, Scarlet seemed clueless with Samuel's gaze that looked different than usual.
"I don't think of you as ja*ang, Scarlet. I don't think of you as my bed warmer. If you don't want to, I won't insist but listen to my words. For me you're a special woman and you know why. I changed my mind, the only woman I could touch was in my arms right now and why would I let go? You are beautiful, I am also the first man for you then what is less than all that? Rather than making you my only hired lover, wouldn't I make you my wife?"
"What?" Scarlet was surprised but her eyes could not be separated from Samuel's serious-looking expression. Was the man drunk to say so or was he drunk in a car?
"I know you've just been betrayed, I know you won't believe it, but I'm gonna make you fall in love with me so be prepared, I'll take your heart from now on," Samuel says that so Scarlet does not consider herself ******* which she paid for because she does not consider Scarlet to be ja*ang.
"Love?" Scarlet encouraged Samuel and stepped back, "It's best not to expect more because I no longer believe in love!" said again.
"I know it's hard, but I'll prove that I'm not like the wedge* that sold you that!"
"Effort, I don't forbid but don't expect more and don't get angry if the results don't match expectations!"
"I know it's not easy and I'm not one to just give up!" Samuel approached Scarlet and held her. Scarlet was startled and shouted, the bag she was carrying until it fell to the floor.
"Down me, Samuel. Didn't you say you didn't want to?"
"Indeed not but I want to bathe you clean so that all the dirt you get from the outside does not stick to your body for too long."
"But the shit's already stuck to you!"
"That means, we should take a bath together. We have to clean each other up, right?"
"What?"
"Don't refuse because I'm showing you my sincerity!"
Scarlet was silent, not refuting. I don't know what happened but he hopes Samuel isn't disappointed because the feeling he has in his heart is dead from Darien's betrayal. Say a dried grass, such is his heart that can no longer be healed.
