Since then he had done several sneaking, Taylor knew it all, as their group leader he is the one in-charge of them at their dorm, so Saff used to ask permission to Taylor every time he went out just by himself, that's why when he went out this time Taylor was not even surprised, he knew this bar all along and what kind of business Saff does there.
A good stalker; when Emy said that to Saff, he smiled and thought that if it is considered as a talent, he surely would have been one great hell of a talented stalker! Because since he met her that night, it is one of the best that he could do this past few weeks just to see her and somewhat try to know her more.
At first he thought Emy is just fond of clubbing, she was always at this bar and drinking but as he sees more of her night after night, he noticed something when she is already drunk, she would always eventually cry.
If it is not his guy friend – Harry, it would be her best friend – Ada that would hold her and accompany her out of this club.
He got curious, what's behind the story of this drinking and crying habit?! He thought to himself, so when he said that he has connections, he is serious! He has this someone he trusts who befriended Ada just to gather information about Emy without Ada noticing the real motive behind it, and she is really good! She even told Ada that one of the Idols needed a new manager, and that's when Ada told Emy about the job offer, but the true fact is that it is Saff who requested Emy to be his manager; it is like he has chosen Emy.
When he knew about the accident, he finally understood Emy, her pain, her struggles, her broken heart, he felt that in his heart too, and he somewhat pitied her situation. The actual anxiety attacked that he witnessed when he first let her ride in his car, it broke his heart seeing her suffer with that condition. He wanted her to be familiar with his car and driving immediately so he won't ever see her in that state again.
He thought she might not accept the job offer because it is a lot of work load she has to take in, so when he met her on the day of her interview at their company for the first time, he was so surprised and very happy. He is very confident that she would be qualified for the position aside of his referral, skill wise he knew that she would fit in the position.
Other information like her private number, her being fond of eating seafood, and even her plan for tonight that she needed to decline the other manager's welcome party for her, all of that thanks to his trusted connection.
Weird, yes! It is for Saff, it happened so fast for him, he didn't notice but he was surprised that he already went this far for her without her knowing all of this. He is like a secret admirer who can also be a secret guardian of her, and until now he can't determine why is it that he is feeling this way towards her? He had past relationships before; he is a man after all! But this was his first time doing all this kind of effort, and when he thinks about it he felt amazed of his accomplishments so far.
All he is sure of is that he really cares for her now, so when he heard of her plan tonight, he got worried easily as he expects that she might get drunk and cry again.
When he saw Ada seated at the bar counter stool, he immediately look for Emy, but she was not there so he got frustrated and quickly move to look for her. It is never easy for him to roam around the bar with people everywhere plus the fact that someone might caught him and exposed his identity on the spot where he has no security men at all, so when he got at the lobby going towards the rest room where he first saw her back then, he saw several couples who are making out.
When he had a second look at the corner, he find it weird that there was this man who is kind of using his force to get to the woman in front of him, curious he looked through it and when he saw that it is Emy, he immediately felt enraged in an instant.
His vision went dark, he doesn't care if he got exposed at that moment when he punched twice that man on his face, all he cared about is to get Emy out of that man's arms. He got so worried, he just wanted to take her far away from that place, and that's when he finally realized that this feeling he has for her is something seriously deep.
He drive his car going to Emy's residence, none of them initiates to speak, it is just the music playing at the car stereo while Saff looks straight at the road and Emy feeling the air on an open car window. From time to time, Emy instructs Saff on their way as this is the first time that he will be sending her home.
Emy still can't get her mind off at what happened at the bar, that man is really scary and disgusting with how he looks at her, he felt small and underestimated.
She wonder if that's her punishment for too much drinking, she thought of her late husband if this is somehow his way of saying she should stop here, and then she also thought of Harry's sudden missing.
'Why all the important man in my life seemed to always leaves me?' she thought to herself. 'Father was the first, then my husband, and now harry' she continue in her mind as tears are starting to well up in her eyes, letting out a deep sigh.
Saff notices this, he look at her for a second and then looks back at the road. After a few minutes he stops the car as the Google map signaled that they have reached their destination, he parked in front of a two-storey single detached house which is Emy's house.
"Seems like you have a lot in your mind" Saff says as he noticed Emy's reaction awhile ago,
"Ah...it's just the effect of alcohol" she answers as she sniffs as her nose get stuffy for trying to control her tears.
"Hmmm…" Saff reply in a hum as he leans closer towards Emy to unbuckle her seat belt, he already knew that it is not just the effect of the alcohol but also the memories from her past.
Emy did the exact opposite as she leans backwards to keep their distance but looking directly at his face, she thought of how lucky she was to have this young man at that moment when she badly needed someone who could help to get her out of that situation but then she was also curious on how and why of all the people and circumstances he is there?
"You are there...what are the chances?" Emy suddenly speak her mind,
Saff already done unbuckling her seat belt his gaze move directly at Emy's face who is also looking straight at him, with his hat and mask still on, his brown eyes are the only thing Emy has been looking directly.
"I didn't know either...I just follow my heart" Saff answered and Emy's heart beat starts to race upon hearing his words.
"You say it with so much confidence? Don't be impulsive..." Emy says as she wants Saff to think thoroughly about his choices of words,
"Oh...do I sound like that to you? Then you should try to look through my actions more so you would see how serious I am" Saff says as he intensely gaze directly to her hazel eyes that stares back at his.
"You are dangerous" Emy bluntly whispered,
"Scared of taking risks?" Saff confidently answered back as one of his eye brows twitch.
"No…but it doesn't hurt to be careful sometimes" Emy says as she turns her head at the side looking to the wind shield so she can hide her flustered face.
"Your words are totally opposite from your reaction...if I sounded impulsive then what about you now" Saff smirk as he teases Emy and then shifting his gaze towards her house, he continue to say "your house is simple but looks decent and welcoming" feeling Emy being uncomfortable, he intentionally change the topic.
"It's my mom's…oh yeah! Do you want to come in and have some coffee before you go?" she instantly became happy when their conversation finally changes the topic!
"Thanks but maybe next time…the timing is not decent right now" he gently smiles but Emy couldn't see his lips, only she can see it through his smiling eyes.
It was around ten in the evening already when they got there, Saff thought that it is not the perfect time to visit a woman's house, especially it's her mom's house.
When he look up at the terrace, he saw a little girl standing there looking at the open window of his car, she looks like she's been waiting there for Emy to go out of his car. Emy notices and upon following his gaze, she saw her daughter standing right there.
"That's my daughter Amy"
