“You made the right choice.” His father eyed him before walking towards the security.Niko looked towards his car, Reyna meeting his eyes from the car to see a smirk on his face. She pulled her brows together, wondering why he still allowed them to enter after all that.“I want to see you inside now!” His father yelled after.Joe rushed towards Niko but he stopped him with a finger.“Don’t worry about me. Make sure she doesn’t come out. They’re here for her, not me.” He said, cleaning his mouth before walking out.He approached the gate, giving the securities a look of despair before walking in.****“What is a girl slippers doing in your house?” His father asked.“I don’t know. Didn’t you hear James before slapping me? I have a girl, it’s her slippers. She’s not in the house.”“What’s her name?” James interfered.“What for?” Niko asked him with his furrowed brows.“Can’t I know my brother's girlfriend's name? Isn’t it something ideal?” James asked.“How about that worker that you do
“What’s wrong with my Face?” Niko asked, his hands fumbled on his face touching every nook and cranny of it.“It swelled up already. You have a red patch on your cheek.” She added.Niko touched the place where his father had slapped him only to discover that he was feeling a slight pain on it.“It’s nothing.” He said immediately.“You don’t have to worry about it.” He added before smiling and looking at her small head that peeked out of the door.“Can you come out and eat dinner? It’s getting cold already.” He said.Reyna eyed him, her thought going to the first time they had met, he had looked like a strong guy who could protect himself but yet his father had slapped him and there was his print and a red mark on his cheeks.“But I ordered food already….” She drawled out.“It doesn’t matter. We’ll keep that one and eat it tomorrow and we’ll eat the one I prepared tonight.” He said, pulling her hand from the little space and dragging her towards the kitchen.Reyna felt her brows pull t
“Niko.” He said angrily.“What’s wrong with you! Can’t you just leave me alone!” She yelled out.“It’s past eleven, your phone has been ringing and I thought today was your brother's operation. Has it been cancelled?” He said annoyingly before walking away from the door.Reyna slept back, her hands clutching the pillow and curling like a baby on the bed before Niko words sinked in her head. She jumped off the bed immediately, the sleep in her eyes long gone as she flew to the door.“Heyyyyyy” she yelled out.Reyna gulped down, finding no one in sight before she walked back inside her room. Her eyes darted to her phone only to see eight missed calls from Dylan.“Ahhhhh!!!” She yelled out.Peeling off the dresses off her body was no problem for her..“Ahhha..ahh.” She groaned out as her leg hit the table.Rushing to the bathroom, she hurriedly turned on the shower, scrubbing her body with her hand before washing it away with the water. The operation was starting by twelve and she had to
“Deal maker?” Niko frowned his face as he heard this.Reyna gulped down, her eyes meeting with Alan’s for a split second before darting to Niko.“Is that what she told you about me?” Niko squinted his eyes at her.The doctor entered with some other nurses at this moment, catching everyone off guard as they walked to Alan. Reyna's heart skipped a beat as her eyes met with Alan’s. She put her hand in his, squeezing his palm tight as she smiled at him.“You can make it okay, everything will be fine at the end, you don’t need to worry about anything, the only thing you’re worrying about is how to survive okay?” Reyna said to him as tears started to form in her eyes.“It’ll all be fine. You don’t need to cry okay? Be strong for me, and I’ll be for you also.” Alan said as they started disconnecting the plugs on his body.Niko just looked at the both of them and for some reason, his heart clenched at the chemistry they both shared. Amidst all the chaos, she still liked her brother and stood
“Ahhhhhhh!” Reyna yelled out in happiness.Her face shone of joy and smile, she felt an indescribable kind of joy feeding her heart as the doctor's word continued to ring in her head. Her brother, Alan had survived. Alan, Alan, has become someone that doesn’t need to seat him the hospital bed.“But you can’t see him now, it would be better if you come back tomorrow morning, early, to see him because right now, he’s sleeping.”“Can’t we just have a glimpse of him?” Larissa spoke up.“Excuse me,” Reyna said as she pushed the doctor away lightly.Her eyes softened as she saw her younger brother wheeled out of the theatre room and back to his ward. She felt tears form in her eyes as she moved forward to touch him only to be pulled away by the doctor.“It would be better if you leave now or I call the security in you, your choice to say.““And I'd like to see if you’ll be able to keep your job if the head doctor heard what you did.” Reyna retorted as she stared hard at the doctor.He gulpe
“Where the hell is she?” Niko yelled out for the tenth time.He picked up his phone again, pressing the last number he called as it rang out again, the same robotic reply echoing through the room again.“The person you’re calling is not answering.” The machine said before he angrily hung up the call.This was some minutes to eight pm and she was not at home. His veins popped up on his head as he clenched his jaws tightly. He walked out of his room with his phone in his hands as he heard a little creak of the door.“Fuck! Where the heck is she!” He yelled out the house.His feet moved quickly to the seating room, deciding on seating there and waiting for her till she got back. He hadn't sat for a minute so he stood up back and started pacing back and forth the room. She knew she was supposed to be at home by this time. But she never follows the instructions, she never listens to him.He picked up his phone from where he dropped it when he wanted to sit down as he put another call acros
Throughout the car ride, no word was said to each other. They both stayed on their part, annoyance and anger invading the whole car. Reyna faced the window, staring at it while Niko just drove home as he tried to focus on the road. He kept seeing her smiling face in his head, especially with another guy and it infuriated him the more. Immediately they got home and he parked the car, Reyna did not say anything as she got out of the car and slammed the door, her feet moving towards the entrance.“You were out late. I had no choice than to come and get you. You can’t just be angry at me for that.” Niko said to her immediately they got inside the house.“Is that why you dragged me like that! Is that why you think you can just come and get me without even giving me any chance to talk or do anything to myself!” She yelled out to him.“I didn’t mean it to happen that way. I was just annoyed at the fact that I was worried about you and you were there, seated there, smiling at someone.” He ret
“Ughhh.” Niko groaned out as he tried to reach out his phone whose ringing tone was piercing his ears.He slammed the bedside lamp on the floor, finally jolting him out of his sleep as he sat up to pick the call. His eyes widened as he saw the caller and all the sleep in his eyes was long gone as he finally picked it.“Hello grandfather.” He greeted as he stood up and yawned.“Brat! Did I have to call you twenty times before you pick my call!” His grandfather shouted playfully through the phone.“I wonder which doctor is treating you and has kept on deceiving you that heart attack is real.” Niko joked as he walked to the mirror, checking out his abs and stretching them out.“Are you saying I’ll die early?” His grandfather said again, an evident of mockery laced in his tones.“Did I say that grandfather? All I’m saying is that you should change your doctor because he has been lying to you all along.” A smile tugged the corners of his lips as he said this.His mother’s father was a fath
