"Hahaha, " she laughed out loud.
"Are you kidding me? We only met each other three times, " she said.
"It takes a second to fall in love. I liked you the second I saw you, " he replied.
Chasina is left in her thoughts for a second.
Maybe it's the truth, but she doesn't want to accept it because she is afraid of falling in love. She doesn't want to fall in love. Even though she is irritated by him at the start, it doesn't mean she is irritated by him now also. Maybe he is not that annoying or unpleasant. It's just her who pushed him away. But still, everything is complicated, at least to her.
Their worlds are different. Their thoughts are different. Everything about them is different. They can't be together.
At least for her, it is impossible to be with him. Suppose someone asks the reason for it. She doesn't know what to say; she just felt it. She doesn't know, but their relationship is complicated.
She had a feeling that he is not as simple as he is seen. To her, he is a man with a mask. Maybe with numerous masks. She didn't know why, but she has a feeling that he is criminal to the criminals. More likely, the word Carnivore will suit him perfectly.
Chasina had a handshake with Val once. She sensed his touch. His hand is full of callouses. Those types of hands not anybody can possess only a few killers, criminals can posses. She sensed that his hands are filled with blood.
She had a gut feeling he is a criminal, but how come he can quickly enter the white palace. It's something that no one can enter soon. And with him, the process is straightforward, and there is no stopping. It was like a dream. Everything is finished in an hour. It's like he is familiar with the place. And even with Mr. Ambrose. There is something so special about him. But what is it?
She had a feeling that he knew Leuod is involved in this case; that's why he guided her to it. It is like he is the master, and he is the one who orchestrated everything. And she, Chasina herself, felt like she is a mere puppet in his hands.
Why?
Why?
She had a question mark on him.
She only met him three times or four times, but he made her a complete mess. He disturbed her both professionally and personally.
She felt like she is thrown into a fire pit. She wants him at the same time doesn't.
Why does she feeling like this?
Why does she need to have this inner battle, that too due to him?
Why is she so disturbed?
She wanted him to be clean and out of danger.
She is concerned about him.
But why?
All the questions lead her to one answer. But she doesn't want to agree to it.
Maybe it's just an attraction between the opposite sex. She concluded.
'It will fade as time passed, ' she said to herself.
She didn't want to talk with Val anymore. She turned off her phone and slept. She is tired and exhausted, both mentally and physically.
Meanwhile.....
Val is not as clear as her. He is feeling unsettled.
He didn't know what is going through her mind. But her thoughts and choices are making him feel unsettled.
She came into his life like a rainbow, which makes the sky look more beautiful. Even though the existence of the rainbow is short-lived, he tried to force that rainbow to accompany him for more time.
He is greedy but not cruel, at least he thought.
He knew he is in a lot of trouble. But he is an average human being at the end of the day.
He also wanted to paint his blank canvas with different colors.
But the question is, 'is his life is a blank canvas?'
The answer will be no.
Because his Canvas is filled with red color precisely with blood.
Can he paint different colors on his canvas, Which he took from her life?
Maybe he can. But he will be dragging her into this bloody mess.
But he forgot he already dragged into it. He endangered her life.
Now he made a terrorist group go against her.
He gave a self-mocking smile to himself.
He asked a question to himself.
'Do you deserve her love?' It was the question he asked himself.
'But it's not a crime to love someone and to pursue someone, ' his angel version said as it suddenly popped out and sat on his right shoulder.
'Yes, but it's a crime to love this particular woman. The more you love her, the more danger she will be in. You are getting close to your mission. If you make a mistake, it will end you. Have you ever thought if she loves you back and if you can't make it alive in the mission that you are given with, Don't you think it's unfair to her? Does she deserve that kind of fate? Just because you love her, does that mean she has to go to hell? You are selfish, man!' Devil's version of Val appeared beside him and settled on his left shoulder.
Val is conflicted with his inner souls. Whatever his inner souls said are true.
'You can pursue her after you finish the thing which is going on now. ' the devil said as it appeared in front of his face.
The angel version popped beside the devil version and looked from head to toe.
'What?' The devil shouted.
'Why are you so kind to him today?' The angel asked with a frown.
'Well, I'm kind to myself because I like that woman. But I don't like it when she is in trouble or a bad situation. She should be safe until our Rian finishes his mission. Hehehe,' he replied.
Angel gave a smack on his head with her magical stick in her hand.
It went back to Val's right shoulder and settled itself there.
'So, Rian, how are you going to manage the Leuod. What if they get suspicious of you. After all, both Rian and you are the same, ' The angel said.
