Tears continued to fall and wet Athana's face. The stern and cruel woman who had been reliably taking people's lives, was now sitting while hugging her knees. Her cries broke and her mind was extraordinarily chaotic.
"He helped me."
It had been repeatedly said in her tears. Still can't believe Johan is in such a despicable and suffering position. Larry, I don't know what demon turned him into.
Not far from where Athana is today, Larry stood staring fixedly.
"Whatever life she lived, she was still a woman. There must be a soft side that can't be thrown away. Reasonable. Especially ... Johan does have an important role for Athana, "inwardly.
"If I also had a debt of gratitude, it would not be this much. But in fact, no matter how I sort out the memories, there was nothing good that Johan gave me, to Sister Julia, and to Deschara. Only bad memories remain in the memory" he continued in the mind.
Shortly after, Larry stepped forward and approached Athana. He held it slowly with a shaken shoulder in a rhythm of crying.
"Athana!" call Larry.
Athana flinched and immediately looked up. He quickly lowered his legs and wiped the tears that were wet on his cheeks.
"Johan's dead, his body's been taken care of by my people." Larry spoke while sitting next to Athana. Then, put the gun on the table and lean your back on the sofa.
Athana gave no answer, just took a deep breath to calm the turbulent mind. To die is better than to suffer like that, Athana thought.
"I'm sorry if my actions are outrageous. But ... so long harbored the pain was also not good. I lost the people I loved because of him, and before that I had given provisions for his life. Betrayal, that's what makes me so desperate now" Larry said, picking up a cigarette and lighting it.
Athana has not yet reacted. He knew how hurt Larry was.
"After this ... Red and all these assets, I leave them to you and Dove. Because ... You are the only people I can trust. I'm not telling you to continue Red's illegal business, whatever if you want to change or how. That's your right, but .. one I really hope. Don't fire the people who work here, all this time they follow me and never betray me. But, if the guys are at Red, it's up. You know better about them."
This time Athana turned her head with a puzzled expression.
"Why?" tanyanya slow.
"I've been stuck there for years. I was finally able to make advanced tools like Mike, and even more than him. I ... managed to create a time machine that would take me to the past. I'm not willing to lose Julia and Deschara. I want to be with them again. It's okay even if I have to go back in time and repeat everything. That way, I can fix things."
Larry's words left Athana dumbfounded. It makes no sense in his opinion. If he had never been thrown into the world of novels, he would not have believed Larry's words. A time machine, he thought only existed in fantasy films. But in the real world, there are also.
"Timing machine .. how does it work? Is it just for you or ... can it be for someone else?" ask Athana. Between believing and not, he hung on a little hope for the best in his life.
"Why?" Larry asked back.
"I also want to go back in time." Athana looked straight ahead, groping for flashes of dark memories in her life.
"Which past?"
"The past where I haven't lost my chastity."
"You want to fix that so that your relationship with Alex doesn't end like this? Are you sorry you parted ways with Alex?" ask Larry.
Athana shook her head, "It's not about Alex or romance that's as sweet as possible. But regret is more than just a taste. If my chastity is not lost, I will not fall, nor will I meet Johan. And this dark life of mine, will never exist. My biggest regret is being a murderer. So if it can still be fixed, I'll do it."
Larry nodded while commenting on a faint smile, then changed his sitting position and faced Athana.
"If that's your excuse, think again. All you can bring to the past is memory, while treasures and physical abilities are not. Given your former position that was not very good, sure you can have a better life than now?" said Larry, who was immediately responded with an intense gaze.
"Your fake parents are so cruel, with your weak state, can you resist? Can you demand justice for your biological parents? Tell me you have luck and can do all that. But are you sure you're not a killer? While working at Red you must have known how hard the business world was. Those who don't do it themselves, will hire a hitman to launch their mission. It's not impossible that you do the same, Athana. Or else you will be destroyed like those who are clean and lose compete. Finally ... You're back to slump." Larry's words made Athana blink quickly.
"Compare your current situation. With this position, you can go back to your fake family and seek justice for your parents. You already have plenty of provisions to face the rigors of life. You're free to choose your future, stay a killer or quit and become a businessman. So, think carefully before making a decision. Compare which way is the most appropriate to correct the error" Larry continued, moving on from his seat. Then go and leave Athana who is still flinching.
Seriate...
