'The Lee family crest.. How come it's here.'
She gasped as she tried to process this new piece of information.
She looked at Ian mechanically, she's surprised and confused at the same time.
"How...."
"Tian-Tian... The truth is, we have met when we we're just kids. So you're no stranger to me. In fact you're my savior..."
Then Ian went on and tell her about what happened in the past in full details.
Ian realized that as he talk about his past, there's something that's still missing.
He didn't know who his abductor was and since there is no police record of that incident he can't track what happened.
He made a mental note that he will seek for answer when he has time.
Tia was crying so hard upon hearing how he suffered and how he tried to cope up with that tragic incident.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't know. I'm sorry I've forgotten.."
She could barely remember that there was a time when she asked her mom about their pet dog when she was in middle school.
Her mom told her that they never had a dog, but she's sure she kept one in the warehouse so she thought it was just a stray dog she kept secretly.
Whenever she passed by the old warehouse she would feel sad and lonely as if she lost something there.
Tia hugged Ian tightly as she cry in his shoulders. Ian coaxed her. And after her sob fest, he handed her a glass of water then he continued..
"Tian-Tian, the truth is, you fainted because of me. I couldn't control my emotions that's why I hurt you.. Due to that abduction I wasn't mentally stable...."
"I have sadistic tendencies and anger management issues because of that traumatic experience . Im not justifying what I did to you its just how things are. Im sorry. Im really sorry.."
"I know you have no reason to believe me after what I have done to you and I can understand if you don't want to see me anymore, I think you're right, we're not ready yet.."
"Let me fix my self first please wait for me Tian-Tian, Im sorry I really am."
Ian said apologetically. There is guilt and sadness in his voice. He hated himself for causing her pain. He was remorseful that tears started to stream down his face.
