Together but not the same
Episode 12: Third floor

...🍁🍁🍁🍁...

Ara woke up adjusting the light coming into her eyes. Ara blinked her eyes. Then he sat on his back against the bed.

Head hurts. It seems he has been asleep for a long time. He should clean up immediately.

Ara stepped towards the bathroom forgetting that she was completely naked.

Ara was ready with her casual clothes. Today he has no class. And there's no interest either. He would only laze around in this huge mansion.

Ara went down the stairs and went to the dining room. But don't see Xavier there. "Did Xavier go to the office" he thought.

He sat in that chair. The waiter brought her breakfast.

"If you are looking for mister. Sir left about an hour ago. You also told me not to go out." Said the waiter and withdrew.

Ara simply nodded and started to devour her food.

*****

Ara was now watching tv in the family's guest room. He's already bored. There are no interesting tv shows to watch.

Ara has an idea. He will just walk around the mansion. There are many places he does not know.

Ara walked towards the back garden. There are various plants eating there. Very lovely. Does Xavier like plants like him?.

After being satisfied to go around the park. Ara continued her steps towards the building on the 3rd floor of the house. He's curious. Why is this floor so quiet. Not even a servant has climbed to this 3rd floor.

Along the hallway there was only darkness. Ara scared. But he was also curious. Ara kept on stepping. Then stop in front of the door made of solid wood.

There is only one door on this floor. No one should come here. Ara tried to open the door but it was locked.

Heh. Apparently locked. Better get out of here. Before anyone realizes it. But when Ara turned around. He accidentally grabbed something.

The door suddenly opened. Showing darkness. Ara surprised. Turned up in the face by sliding that thing.

Ara who was kepo entered the room. He can't see anything.

Ara fumbling against the wall. Searching light switch. After meeting him, he lit it. And look at that room.

His eyes were rounded. His heart is beating fast. Why are there so many pictures there.

He walked towards a board that displayed his daily photos. There was even a photo of him when he was in High School.

Oh God. What all this time Xavier's been stalking her. The photos are displayed in such a way. But there is a red thread that is the link between photos.

In the middle of the photo collection there is a writing that is less clear. Ara narrowed her eyes and read the writing.

It read, "You belong to Clarissa Clara Barton"

Ara covered her mouth with her hands and rewinded her steps in shock. Why why. Why Xavier acts like a stalker. He's afraid. Really scared. Means all this time Xavier's been planning their meeting. Eventually, they decided to become lovers.

Ara closed her mouth. He really doesn't believe. Her tears are shed. Xavier was secretly following her.

When Ara was engrossed in her daydream. Someone suddenly closed the door of the room. Ara who was shocked twisted her body. He was surprised not to play.

Xavier stood before him with a reddened face. Clenched hands. Looks like Xavier is really angry right now.

"Why did you suddenly enter this room?" Xavier said in a low voice.

Ara was really scared. Body shaking. His heart was also crazy.

"I just accidentally went up. And find this room." said Ara fearfully.

Xavier advanced and directly cornered the direction of Kedinding. He squeezed Ara's arm and said. "Do you think I'm stupid. You've clearly entered into my power Ara. I didn't even allow the waiter to enter this floor. But you bravely even entered this room." said Xavier.

Xavier looked at the board. Then turned his head back towards Ara. How dare Ara see something she shouldn't have seen.

"Follow me." Xavier pulled his hand tightly. It hurts so much. Ara thrashed Xavier's grip rope too tightly. He can't let go.

Xavier took her to another room on the floor. The door is black. It was only fitting that Ara did not see this door earlier.

Xavier opened the door and pushed the body inside. He then took something in the nightstand drawer in the corner of the room.

A frightened Ara tried to stand up. But his legs are so limp. Ara looked at Xavier who was stepping towards her. In Xavier's hand was a rope. Oh God. What Xavier would do to her.

"You will be punished because you have dared to enter that room." Xavier whispered that sentence.

Xavier pulls Ara's hand. Then tie the hand to a pole located in the middle of the ridge. Ara even realized that there was a pole in the room.

Ara then looked at the room. Oh gosh. This room is so scary. There are many tools that even Ara does not know what it is for. This room looks more like a torture chamber.

Xavier also tied his legs. Ara really can't escape. Ara tried to break away but it made her hands and feet blister because of the handcuffs.

Xavier took a chair and sat down in front of Ara. Uh. Her demon soul might have come out just because it concerned the room.

Xavier then stood up to pick up a small knife. It's going in the direction. Ara who saw Xavier walking towards him could only cry.

"Take me off. I beg Xavier. You can't hurt me." Her tears are flowing. Body shaking. He was so scared.

"Suutttt. It's not that easy, baby. You'll like it later." Xavier then carved his name on that smooth arm.

Ara yelling. It hurts so much. Xavier kept doing it. There was no sense of pity in the slightest seeing the arm turn red. Some even bleed.

Ara kept crying. He can no longer. Before his consciousness runs out Ara only wants Xavier to know if even if he is tortured. Ara will love him.

Xavier, who saw Ara faint, panicked. He threw the check knife and looked at his hand. What he's done. Why did he hurt his girlfriend again. Xavier saw the body. His arm was scratched by a knife, his wrist and feet were bruised. Also the eyes. What's on his mind.

Xavier pulled his hair hard. Then he screamed. Ara would definitely be scared of him after this. Her aura would definitely hate her.

Xavier walked quickly to remove the handcuffs. Then carrying the weak body left the cursed room.

Xavier went down the stairs quickly and brought Ara to his room.

"Hurry and get my personal doctor here." Xavier shouted like an infidelity man. He doesn't care. All she thought was that Ara should be fine.

Not long after that doctor named Takuma came. He examined Ara carefully. Look at the girl's body. What his best friend did. He wanted to kill his girlfriend.

After checking Ara. Takuma walked out to Xavier's study.

"What did you do to your lover. Are you crazy?" Ask Takuma. He really doesn't think out. His best friend said he loved his girlfriend very much but saw that she even tortured him.

"I don't know. I can't remember. I only regained my senses and saw that Ara had fainted. Is he coming back for Takuma?" Xavier looked at Takuma with a frightened look. He does not want his evil side back. That side is long dead.

"I don't know. I just wanted to say let Ara go if you can't keep her from yourself. I gave him sleeping pills. And also had the waiter put medicine on his wound." After saying that Takuma left.

Takuma is out of sight. Xavier quickly stepped into his room. He wanted to see the situation of Ara.

Xavier looked at Ara who closed her eyes peacefully. But there were some bandages on his arm . He's very sorry. Why should he do that.

After being satisfied to look at the guilt Xavier went to the bar in the mansion. He drinks whatever makes him drunk and can make him forget his guilt for a moment.

Xavier who was drunk was also able to work in his work room. Lying her body on the sofa. He closed his eyes, which began to feel heavy.

Heh. Tonight was a very exhausting night. He has to apologize for why Ara tomorrow. Even if necessary he would kneel before the woman.
