“So, why are you here?” I asked Zygo. We are currently sitting in the concrete chair under the giant tree. I stared at Zygo as our eyes met each other.
“I missed you.” he directly said in front of my eyes. I immediately turned around to see if someone was near us or some people might hear but thank God, we are the only ones here.
I brought my face back to him with confusion. “Stop jerking around, tycoon. This is not a place to play games.”
“Well, I ain’t playing games, my woman.”
“Stop addressing me as yours.”
“Why did you come here with that soldier. You like him, don’t you?” I almost choked myself because of Zygo’s question. I looked at him with disgust. His words, I can’t bear it.
“Are you nuts? Are the nails on your head are loosen
I opened my eyes and immediately looked at my watch. I silently yell after seeing the time. Did I sleep that too long? I left myself mesmerizing for a while before letting out a deep sigh.It’s been two days since Zygo was here, and I’ve been here for many days as well, but honestly, I don’t know what I will do. Like, all of my plans had disappeared instantly, and right now, my mind was left blank while looking for other reasons to stay here longer.I shrugged my head as I moved my body to the side. I’m still sleepy and can feel pain in my body, but it’s not a deal. I stared at the ceiling while lying inside the tent. Should I go back to Tranquil? I can’t really find another reason to spend time here in Bridi.Maybe, I need to do it too, since Alchy needs to go back to the City because he has still a mission to finish. I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath. After calming
I did not answer and remained silent without looking in Zygo’s direction. A couple of minutes has passed yet, no one has spoken between us. I don’t know what kind of response I will give to his last words. It struck me hard.“Sorry for telling these things all of a sudden. I just think that this would be a great time to do it. Look, I don’t expect a response nor expecting that you’ll address my feelings, but I just want to let it all out.” I let out a deep sigh and immediately stood up. Without hesitation, I take myself out of the tent.Zygo was surprised when I suddenly sat beside him. He stared at me as his face blushed. At first, I thought that he was just jerking around, but then, I could feel that he was serious about it.He was already wearing a shirt. Thank God because I couldn’t bear sitting beside him while he was naked.&ldqu
Zygo forcibly pushed the man away as he released it from his grip. I was shocked because of what he did. It’s far from what I have expected.“Sergeant, they are here!” we quickly glanced at the source of the voice, and one of these men was running towards us. “Those soldiers were just waiting for us to be here!” the man added while panting. I don’t know what they are talking about, and my attention was stolen by Zygo when he suddenly held my hands, making me look at him.He suddenly caressed my cheeks, making me unable to move. I stared at his brown eyes as my heartbeat furiously.“Are you okay?” Zygo asked. I don’t know why. I wanted to speak, but I couldn’t open my mouth. His eyes were drowning me. “Gandhara?” I flinched when he moved his hands that were holding my cheeks.“Y-Yes?” I bit my l
“Stay still,” I muttered while wrapping the bandage on Zygo’s arm. I could feel his intense stare, but I did not mind it and focused my eyes on his wound.“Why are you so good at this? No. Why are you so good at everything?” he asked, making me press his wound to shut him up. I let out a deep sigh as I finished wrapping the bandage. I quickly stood up and looked at him. Our eyes met.“It’s all good. Thank God that the bullet wasn’t too deep.” I stared at Zygo while observing his face.“Have you fallen for me?” Zygo asked when I remained to stare at his face for a couple of seconds. His arrogance is activated again. I just clicked my tongue.“You look pale, so you should take a rest,” I said and quickly turned around, but I felt Zygo’s hands on my wrist, holding me back even before I
“Jay, how’s my mother?” I asked Jay while panting when I saw him sitting outside the emergency room. He stood up quickly when he saw me. His expression was full of confusion and concern while walking in my direction. I can feel how my heart beats furiously. He just stared at me for a couple of seconds while wearing a blank expression. His eyes were sleepless. I looked at my watch, and it was four o’clock in the morning. I don’t know how to explain what I feel right now. I’m currently in the middle of confusion while trying to calm down because I don’t want to dominate my feelings over what was happening. “I’m sorry...” Jay said while quivering, then tears started falling down from his eyes. I stared at him. I felt my eyes become teary, but this was not the time to do it because there was no reason at all. “Stop your tears,” I said, trying to sound calm. “There’s no reason fo
“Are you sure about this, Gandhara?” Alchy asked. I nodded.“We already decided and planned this for a month. My mother is still lying on the bed with a monitor to sustain her life. She got shot in the head and couldn’t wake up from that moment. I cannot go back on the thing that I desired.”“Revenge, isn’t it?” I turned to Zygo and left his question unanswered.“Do you want to go with this or not?” I asked and glanced at them. They remained silent for a couple of seconds.“We already said that w—”“Yes or no?”“Yes.” both of them answered in unison. I nodded.“Then we don’t have any problem.” after I said those words, I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. We are currently in the hospit
My body trembled as I waited for their answer. I wanted to shed tears, but I restrained myself. It is excruciating to experience this kind of pain.I stared at Alchy and Zygo but then, they just averted their gaze. I don’t know what to feel, but I already know the answer with that simple gestures. My lips were trembling.I felt my knees become numb, trying to digest the words said by the man in front of us. I even stared back at the scar on his right arm.I didn’t really know my reaction, and everything in my body was going soft. I want to give up, but I don’t have the reasons. I did a second thought and calmed myself.I stared at Zygo and Alchy again, and now, they were also staring at me. There is a pain in their eyes. It must be because of the truth, or they sympathize with my situation.These men were there when I needed someone; they
“The look in your eyes...” Ramage paused as he walked in my direction. “Are you disappointed to see me?” he added when he got closer to me. It felt like my mouth was sealed, unable to utter even a single word. My whole body was in tremor yet, I could feel the excruciating pain in my chest.Ramage sat in front of me, staring directly into my eyes. I was startled when he reached his hand on my face, removing a few strands of hair covering my eyes. I stared at him, and it felt like the whole place was full of light because I could clearly see the evil in this man’s eyes.“Why?” I asked in a hoarse and low voice. I stared at Ramage’s eyes along with the grin on his face. Actually, I already doubt him in the first place. There’s something fishy about him. I did not buy most of his words, but I can’t deny that I knowingly fell into his trap.Ramage w
