WIPING OUT WOUNDS
7.

...—"I was too naive at the time to think that maybe we'd be together forever. But the fact that you weren't by my side today makes me really sick."—...

...Andrea Edith's...

...•••...

"Andrea, wake up!"

Andrea felt her shoulders gently shaken. He opened his eyes and realized that the car he was riding in stopped in front of an Italian-style house with a large yard. Andrea yawns. "What's wrong?"

"We're here, Andrea."

Andrea who was still half sleepy only resigned when Keanu pulled her out of the car. When she could actually breathe air freely, Andrea looked up. Then realize if this house is surrounded by barbed wire over the fence of the high wall. Instead of feeling safe, this house seems strange and different from others because it is too gloomy.

Andrea frowning. "This is your house?" ask Andrea.

Keanu nodded. "Can't really be called home. Because I don't live alone. Some of the burly men you saw were partly here."

"You also live with your wife and children?" his question sounded full of investigation. To be honest he wanted to pry information about Keanu.

Keanu could not help but laugh. "What do you imagine in your brain? You think I have time for that?"

Andrea grating. "No wife, huh? Then in your house there must be a mistress, right?"

Keanu. He looked at Andrea with amusement. "Why do you want to know so much?"

In a hurry, Andrea could only flick his hands around his neck. The air tonight is very hot. "No! I just don't want your wife or boyfriend or anything that's suspicious because his girlfriend took me home. I'm the victim here."

Keanu nodded his head in amusement. "All right, so I'm the suspect? It's your own fault, who told you to be in the barn and get someone else to accuse you of being a spy."

"What exactly is your job? And what was in the barn? Why are you all so worried as if you're covering something up?"

Keanu shrugged his shoulders softly. "I can't tell you right now."

That answer made Andrea furious. "When are you going to tell me? Tomorrow then? The day after tomorrow? Or until your men turn me into fried chicken?!" his challenge.

"You won't be fried chicken if you don't do anything wrong!" exclaim Keanu sharp.

As if unafraid of the threat of the man before her, Andrea snickered. "What if I tell myself what is the answer to my question, how?"

Quickly, Keanu grabbed Andrea's shoulder. Curl her hands back until the woman's back is attached to the car. Andrea is now in his influence.

"What are you doing, Kean?" asked Andrea when she realized that the man was so close to her.

To be honest Keanu didn't want to be rude or hurt Andrea. He just had to convince the woman not to do careless things that would endanger himself. Really, Keanu wouldn't forgive himself if Andrea got hurt in the least.

Andrea looked at those cruelty-filled sharp eyes with fear. Like a victim waiting for his death, Andrea trembled. He never once saw Keanu that angry ten years ago. Where was the old Keanu? The man has really changed.

Andrea felt her chest sliced off hearing the rude threat containing the warning. With a menacing look, Andrea looked Keanu in the eyes. "Who do you think you are, Kean? Who are you to threaten me with? I'm not afraid of the death you just said! I just want to go home and never see you again. Understood?"

But I'm scared... I'm afraid you're gone again...

Keanu felt his chest being hit by a spear many times when he heard the fact that Andrea did not want to see him again. So, all this time the wait was just in vain? During this time did only he hope to find Andrea again to make up for all his mistakes and sins?

Slowly, Keanu released his hand at Andrea.

Realizing that he was no longer shackled, Andrea hurriedly escaped from Keanu with a breath of breath. "I don't want to talk to a selfish man like you anymore!"

...•••...

"I'll show you your room, miss," said the driver with a creepy face. The man emerged from behind the pillar after Keanu left. Not knowing what to do, Andrea remained standing next to the car and moved restlessly from the cold. Then the man who introduced himself as Rommy appeared.

Andrea was in disbelief at first because this man looked so creepy. But for a long time Andrea thought if he did not want to freeze to death here. Andrea finally agreed.

And sure enough, this guy took her through a classic living room, then passed through some unique rooms. Andrea realized that this house does look bleak from the outside but looks beautiful from the inside. Andrea wondered who arranged the architecture of this house and proposed a beautiful Italian touch to this residence?

Andrea looks up. Look at the walls of the living room and other rooms that look empty. "Why aren't there any photos here? I feel like this house is not touched by Keanu at all."

Rommy who walked a few steps in front of Andrea let her step down. "So far, Mr. Keanu rarely goes home. He used to spend time in the office or warehouse to check things. So it's only natural that this house feels lifeless."

Andrea sighs. "She would love to spend her time with beautiful women like in movies. No wonder, anyway. All men are so.." he said for some reason sounding soft.

Rommy laughs. "Sir Keanu and women are two things that can't be put together."

Andrea frowning. "You're a big-time liar!"

"Really, Miss. Mr. Keanu never even seemed interested in a single woman in the ten years I've known her."

Andrea rolled her eyes puffed. "Yes yes. He must be gay. Or have a sexual disorder. Aren't you?" he shouted in disbelief.

Rommy can now only step down by shrugging her shoulders. It's hard to talk to a woman who thinks Keanu is a playboy. Want to explain how, the women will still accuse and draw their own conclusions without seeing the facts. Are really.

"Oh yeah, I don't want to talk about him anymore. So you don't say his name again after this..."

Rommy nodded and realized that when the urgency of this woman's attitude was really the same as the master's temperament. Like a five-year-old. "Alright, Miss," he replied with a big smile.
