As he watch her leave, he said, "Did you not hear me, old man? I said I want her to be my wife." "I-I hear you, but...Tariq...did you bump your head or something?" "Why would you say that?" "You're not the type who would say such things." (T: True. I'm not the type who would say that...mm...[thinking about her] there's something about her...) "Old man. No need to contact them. I will go there myself." "Huh?" Tariq ends the call.
Tariq gets into the back of the car. "Travis." Travis is Tariq's loyal right hand man, secretary, and driver. "Yes?" Tariq thought about it but decided not to proceed. "Never mind. Just clean my schedule tomorrow. I will head to her place the first thing tomorrow." "I understand." Tariq leans against the seat and closed his eyes.
[Flashback]
When Tariq was 10 years-old, he met a little girl who was 4 years younger than him, who would follow him everywhere he goes. He got irritated by her and demands her to stay away from her. "Can you stop following me around?" She flinched. "S-Sorry." He turned his heels and walked away. She just watch him leave as she stood there. Later that night, he was taking a break from studying, he see and heard people were running around to look for a little girl. (Little girl?)
He tilted his head and it suddenly hit him. (D-don't tell me...they're looking for her..) Without thinking, he dash to the place where he last seen her. Few minutes later, he finally found her, who was sitting on the rock, waiting. She looks up and sees him in front of her, heavily panting. Her lips turned to a smile as soon as she sees him. "Tariq!" She immediately stands up. He smacked the back of her head. "You! Are you an idiot?! What are you doing this late?! Huh?! Don't you know they're looking for you?!"
Her eyes lowers to the ground. "You told me to stop following you." "Wha?" She looked at him and stare. "W-what?" "Were you worried about me?" "Ha?!!! A-as if!" She giggles. "Hey! I wasn't!" "I'm glad." He let out a sigh and turns around, "Hurry up and let's go." Her vision suddenly become a blur. She reached her hand out, trying to reach him. "T-Tariq." She collapsed on the ground.
As soon as he heard a thud from behind him, he slowly turned around and see her on the ground. He immediately grabs her. "Hey!" His eyes widened as soon as he touch her. (She's burning up!?!) He turns around and gave her a piggy back. He dash back to the house with her on his back. (Hold on. Just hold on. You will be fine.)
As soon as she got back into the house, Tariq rarely sees her around. One day, Tariq bumped into a little girl. "Ah. Sorry." He looked at her and his eyes widened as soon as he noticed a scar on her face. "Hey." He reached out to her but she slapped his hand. He was shocked how she gave him the cold stare. She turned her heels and walks away. (W-What?) He couldn't believe that cheerful little girl who always seems to follow him turns to be a different person.
[Present]
Tariq immediately woke up from his dream. He couldn't believe it. (That little girl is...her?! But...she doesn't seem to remember me...wait...what?) He scratch his head. (What does that have to do with me? But...that scar...what happen to her?)
