"Where are we going?" Seraphina asked him
"You don't have to worry"He said with a cold voice but it was still a little concerning

"Hey ugly! How long will you keep staring outside the window?" Aiden asked he knew she was upset but seeing her so miserable, he just can't tolerate it
"I just feel pathetic" Ran said with a hint of sadness in her voice
"And why do you feel like that?" Aiden asked her
" Because she have always been my side, she always tried to protect me even today when she was in a hard situation, and I don't even know how things are going in her life, I am really a bad friend" She said with a cracking tone in her voice
"Hey she is Sera, she is not a worrier she is a survivor. I am sure she will have her ways out and she will definitely make them pay whoever they are" Aiden said he knew who Sera really is, if it wasn't because of her request which was more like a threat to him then he will sure tell Ran that there is nothing to worry, the ones who need to worry are not we, because the real show will start soon.
He was just thinking about all of this that he noticed that Ran was already asleep. He knew very well how fast asleep she actually is but still he didn't expect her to sleep right now.
He looked at her sleeping peacefully, she was so small that her whole body was fixed in that little seat, the only word come on his lip was 'Cute' with that light blush. He started focusing on the road again covering his blushed face with his hands.

"Miss you want to eat something?" An old women in her 70s asked her smiling. She actually end up coming to Shane's place, and to her suprise it wasn't full of worker's like she expected. It was a huge villa but empty no one was there except this old lady, it was looking more depressing like a king living in his falling kingdom during those cold nights.
"Miss?" That old lady recalled her
"Oh sorry, I don't need anything" Sera said politely
"Nanny, you should be asleep already it's late you know" Shane said it was actually surprising that how purely and politely he was speaking to her.
"Son I was worried about you, you young man never eat your food on time and make this old lady worry, but now I think things are gonna be fine" The old lady smiled looking at Sera,
Sera was confused by her words but she still smiled awkwardly.
"Okay Nanny, I will show her room and you should go and rest properly" He said again and this that old lady have to leave unwillingly.
The room fell into silence for a moment, it was awkward and even hard to breath for Sera. Because the moment that old lady step outside the pure and polite Shane's attitude get back to the same cold and silent one.
"Are you hungry?" Shane asked her without even looking
"umm no I am not hungry" But her fine lie caught the moment her stomach growled due to hunger , she didn't have a proper meal from the few days and now her stomach is betraying her.
"Just sit there" He said pointing towards the dining table, his voice was strict and cold as hell not allowing to say anything.
That dining table was big enough for a whole 2 big family to sit and enjoy the dinner. There was a huge window at the end of the table and the balcony. She can see the full moon straight from their and the rays coming from the moon was brightening her skin even more.
She was just seeing the moon that a single tear rolled down her cheeks, she didn't know when she started crying but it was too late. She was broken so much that she knows the pain of crying with that straight face with no emotion.
She start swapping those tears but the more she does, the more they come out.
She end up giving up it was pointless 'why I am so numb inside?'
She just drop her head down trying to control those tears but they were unstoppable. She started breathing calmly and deeply so that they can stop as she was told back then.
She heard Shane's footsteps coming towards her, she start cleaning her teary face. He just put down the dish infront of her and before he could say anything, she start eating it avoiding to talk.
Shane didn't say anything, he silently sit beside her watch her eat.
It didn't take long for her to finish that dish she was actually hungry. After finishing her meal, she put down the fork and knife and smiled at him "It was delicious"
Shane just nod and pointed towards the room at left side "That's yours"
She nod back at him "Okay I will leave then, Thank you" she smiled at him again.
She left and locked the door.
He still sit their motionlesly watching her going in her room and locking the door. When he heard the door locking sound, he still stare at that closed door for a while. He just can't forget her face, he was staring at her from far watching her crying. It wasn't his first time watching her cry but everytime he sees her cry, he always feel that unusual pain and hopelessness.
With those teary red eyes, she can still smile so brightly infront of him it even makes that pain worsen. He still remember how much he regret that night when he saw her for the first time.
He can't forget that night, her crying screams, her eyes bloody red, her tears falling down her cheeks like a diamond shining under the moon and of course her bright smile in so much pain.
