Yama walked Mary home starting brief conversations here and there to pass time. Once they reached their destination Mary gave him a big hug of which she considered of a thank you in terms.
"Thanks for buying me the ice cream, it was really yummy! Hopefully, we can hang out again." Mary gets out her key sticking it in the key holder to unlock the door feeling Yama's hand rub her head causing her to tilt her head.
"I'm glad I could keep a smile on your face, oh by the way you need to stay away from your husband or whoever he is. He's not who you think he is; sorry I'm saying too much see you later." Yama takes his hand off her head and walks the in other direction, making Mary a bit suspicious of who Yama is, where he comes from and is in the same clan as Mathias.
Somehow Mary noticed a small silver streak in his hair which was barely noticeable. She wanted to say something to him about it but chose to keep it to herself, seeing his figure disappear in the distance, as she opened her door she saw Mathias sitting in a chair with a grim look on his face.
"So Mary who was that boy you were with a friend a stranger? I was looking for you everywhere." Mathias didn't hold back the aggression g in his tone causing Mary to flinch as she stood up quickly.
"He's a guy that I met today he's very kind to me so far...Mathias I don't want you to get the wrong idea, I would consider him a friend I think."
"A friend, a total stranger in your life are you trying to replace me, Mary? You know we belong together forever my sweet don't forget who you belong to."
Mary clenched her fist fighting her pride " I don't belong to anyone your better off with Shelly than with me you thought I was going to let you off the hook for being away for so long. I don't think so I won't let you trick me into the unknown. Thinking what we had was love and it wasn't I let myself fall in love with you. It was never meant to be I'm sorry."
"So you're leaving me Mary if you do this I won't be paying for your tuition you'll just be a homeless mess or I can kill your entire family so you can struggle so I suggest you leave this apartment, Mary."
Mary clenched her fist slamming it against the table "You leave!? I'm so tired of you I work hard for this apartment where were you at when I got this? You only using me for my body! So I suggest you leave. You're the real theft here!" Mathias didn't say anything and was left speechless pulling out a blade behind his back.
"Now you're going to get it! " Mathias charged full force against her as she ran out of the apartment running for her life. Seeing Mathias in a pitch of rage caused her to scream louder. She ran inside a building nicely decorated on the outside but elegant on the inside; opening the first door she saw entering inside it.
Mary noticed a man dancing ballet very muscular gracefully dancing to the music dancing his heart out as if his life depended on it. The anger the power the feeling of letting loose caught her attention forgetting everything that happened just to focus on him. He was beautiful and so graceful in his movements.
He stopped and looked at her who flinched "Mary what are you doing at a time like this?"
She covered her mouth to see it was Yama himself "Oh Yama you can dance, you're probably wondering why I am here you might ask I'm hiding from Mathias I broke it off with him he was not happy at all. I'm pretty he damaged and took my belongings from my apartment so I'm homeless."
"You can stay with me if you like. You can sleep in my bed and I'll just sleep on the couch. It's up to you, go back to the place where you don't feel loved or stay with a man who's willing to give you everything."
Mary seemed confused by his sudden confusion but she couldn't tell what he was asking for " I can stay with you for a little while so I can get back on my feet again. Thank you Yama I'll just be outside-"
He grabbed her hand pulling innocent Mary close to him it wasn't aggressive but rather gentle.
"I think it's best if you stay in here so I can protect you just in case Mathias comes here and hurts you." Yama tucked her hair behind her ear as she blushed slightly at his sudden actions "If only you knew how much joy it is to see you healthy and well again."
Mary gave him a dumbfounded expression and said "Again?"
Yama shook his head not wanting her to worry a smile formed on his lips "It's nothing Mary I was just thinking out loud you don't have to worry. I can teach you some things about ballet if you like."
"How do you maintain doing ballet and doing art? I know that might sound dumb but don't you get tired?"
Yama sighed "It's extremely exhausting and overwhelming though it's worth it in the end this is how I make a living for now. I get to do something that I love it's all my heart "
Mary smiled to herself "Wow I wanna be strong and graceful just like you Yama." Yama contained his inner demon wanting to hold her tight for dear life when she said those words it sparked a memory of which she had said those words long ago that made him feel the way he did. Yama knew it would be better to keep things like this a secret from her because he didn't want her to be stressed or curious. His finance was taken away by pest memory to be corrupted by the one and only Mathias Thornton. Yama sought revenge on him for decades but later decided it wasn't worth the fight anymore since he thought there was no chance of seeing her again. She still looked the same as before so beautiful he thought to himself.
"Yama are you okay you seem to be dazed?"
"Oh, it's nothing I was thinking to myself memories I'm not too fond of if I told you, you wouldn't be able to understand because...forget what I said it's not important. I'm going to go get change please stay here."
As Yama started to walk away from her she suddenly grabbed the helm of his shirt, he looked back at Mary seeing a single tear run down her right eye. Mary could tell who he was after having vivid flashes of memories between them. This was her Husband the one she was looking for, she had brief flashbacks of him but it was nothing but a blur at times.
"Yama I saw you in my memories a long time ago from now. You are even as handsome as before."
Yama's eyes widened as he kneeled holding her hand feeling tension rise in the heavy atmosphere.
