Chapter 7
Lure's POV
Outside my father's room
"God if you can hear me, please! please! I beg you to save Yuna. Don't let anything happen to her."
She is the only person I know who has the courage to face my father. She is really an incredible person but... will she really be able to survive my father's cruelty?
After this, I may never see her again...
-I did not notice but there are teardrops from my eyes.
She will surely hate me after this...
Like those people who have been close to me.
My father will surely threaten her to never see me again...
Like what happened to them that I got close too...she will go away like all of them and never want to see me again...
But what I fear most is what if...
my father takes her life...
My tears started pouring... Is this sadness will never end...
The thought of never seeing her is tearing my heart to pieces...there is nothing I can do to change this.
Just like before...
-I close my eyes and I see in my memory that little dog slowly dying in front of me.
no matter how many times I tried to think of it...
I'm sure I will no longer see her again...
I fall down and cried on my knees again...
"Miss Shiroi, did I make you worry?"
I snapped out.
Is this a dream? Am I really hearing her voice again?
When did this voice become so comforting for me...I feel like hearing her voice make the darkness around me slowly fades away...like a warm and bright light began to embrace me.
I raise my head to see if she really is there.
She is there standing right in front of me with that warm smile on her face.
I stand up and reached for her to embrace her tightly.
I pray this moment will last forever.
I never want to let this warm and bright feeling to go away...
...my heart is beating so fast and I am hearing it clearly. I can't explain this feeling...but I like this.
"Uhm... Miss Shiroi... I can no longer breathe!"
I snapped out and immediately let her go.
"Sorry... It's just... I feel so relieved. That here you are. I can still see you."
"Come on, don't you really believe in me?"
"Sorry..."
"Why you keep saying sorry? Miss Shiroi from now on what I only want is to see you happy."
Can I really be happy?
It's very hard to believe but with all my heart I want to trust her...
"Ah! Before I forget. You no longer need to worry about your arranged marriage. Your father will no longer force you on that."
"Huh!"
It shocked me.
That's too impossible, how did she convince my father?
"How did you convince him?"
I am completely in disbelief...
"That is a secret...I risk my life in it but what is more important is I am able to convince him..."
She said with a light smile.
She is truly an amazing person.
-uh!
I was surprised when she came closer to me.
"Now we should treat your face. Your right cheek is swelling."
She said gently while checking my face.
Her face came closer and closer...
I feel my face getting warmer...
I know, I don't need a mirror to tell me that I am blushing because this person is so close to me...
