Left alone in the apartment, Zykan didn't know when those tears started to fall.
When did the last time he cried? It was the day when everyone in the family were killed.
Staring at the hand turned into fist, made another promise to himself.
The atmosphere in the apartment starts to change but thanks to a phone call, woke up Zykan to ask in a worried tone;
*Hello Kristy, did something happen?
Felt the worries in the tone, Kristy is in a hurry to;
*No, it's nothing. I just want to tell you the passwords of the three cards. They all have the same PIN which is ****. Don't feel bad to spend the money in it. Well, I need to go. I will call you back.
Hearing the tut tut sound, the man put away his phone and think of what to do next. He then realize that it's time for his evening routine exercise. Directly put on his workout attire, went to do some stretching before going out.
Just like hitting two birds with one stone, Zykan chose to run the route going to his old rental house.
The distance of twenty five miles, it took only an hour and a half for the man to reach his destination.
Upon entering the rental house, send all his personal things into the storing device; which is not that much.
For the last time, went to look at the small place where he lived for more than five years. A few seconds later, finally left the rental house and went to find the landlord.
After returning the keys and said some words of goodbye, head back to the Central part of the city by foot.
Arriving at the park, ignored those couples who came to date and went straight to the area where workout equipments were set up.
Once again, did his usual routine; from upper to lower body.
A workout routine that is impossible for ordinary person to do, became a normal routine in Zykan's life.
Full of sweats with the smell of masculinity, the man is resting on his favorite bench when a woman wearing sportswear approaches; handed an energy drink saying;
*You're late this time.
Not to embarrass the lady, reached out to take the bottle and noticed that it was already half drank.
*Oh yes, I drank from it just now. If you mind, I can buy a new one.
Feeling no malice from the woman in front of him, didn't suspect her who's someone with hidden intention so in a friendly tone, he ask;
*Do we know each other?
Now that there's a conversation, she went sit before;
*Knowing that you don't know me, hurt my heart a little.
Anyway, my name is Lyka and I have been training here with you for years. We're also both seniors in the same school but i'm sure you never noticed me even once.
Disappointed and hurt but never expect for the man to say;
*Lyka Marcos, a student who both excels in physical and mental; able to maintain the six spot on the list of top ten goddesses in Ifugao National Academy up to her senior years.
When working out, you never wear revealing clothes and like to do squats. You're wrong to say that I never noticed you, we're just from different worlds to interact.
Utter the last word and directly went to empty the bottle in his hand.
"Indirect Kiss"
These two words immediately came to the mind of this lady; happy for a faint smile to appear on her beautiful face.
Even if it's faint and there's a little lighting, Zykan still managed to see the smile for him to;
*What's that smile for.
Upon hearing the question, the smile become more visible. This lady has a bold character and want to mention about the indirect kiss but changed her mimd at the last seconds.
Afraid for the man to think that she's that kind of a girl, decided to say;
*Well, i'm just happy of something. Anyways, can you treat me as a close friend even if this is the first time we interact.
*Can I know why?
Bold but mainly honest, this lady named Lyka didn't hide it and said;
*If there's no Rianne and Kristy in your life, I would like to be in their place...
