A heavy sigh made Michaella turn around. Michaella looked thoughtful, but Michaella didn't seem to care. She looked away again. Looking along the path there is quiet, with the atmosphere of the night getting colder. The breeze did not stop, making the skin feel peeling because of the cold that was so felt.
Miquel stood up, took off his jacket, and put it on Michaella's thin body. The girl remained silent without questioning Miquel's actions. She was tired of thinking and her heart seemed frozen with pain. michaella calm in silence.
"You're not some stupid girl who will stand by when something happens to you, Michaella."
Miquel sat back down beside Michaella. Following staring ahead there that only shows a lonely path. There is no housing or just a hut for shelter. On the other hand, Miquel had deliberately invited Michaela to this gloomy place just for the sake of getting some natural peace. Illuminated by the moonlight and felt a bone-chilling chill. Michaella felt it too.
"I just want to hear why you did all this to me. To my family and even defending my useless self instead."
Miquel chuckled. "You'll know the answer when be mine, Michaella."
Michaella stared at Miquel silently. Her eyes were implied with such deep hatred, but Miquel didn't seem to care. The man averted his eyes and turned to take a health box. Pouring liquid on the cotton then get closer to Michaella's body.
Michaella turned her head away, refusing gently what Miquel was about to do to her.
"The bullet I used was smeared with lethal poison. If you don't want to live anymore, I better go."
Michaella was silent. From the start, she asked Miquel to kill her, but the man only shot her earlobe. Then now say the bullets have been smeared with poison? What kind of lies did Miquel plan on Michaella exactly?
Miquel did not get any reply from Michaella. He then began to clean Michaella's ear which was injured by her actions earlier. Miquel watched Michaella from the side, the girl was silent and stared ahead. As if he didn't care what Miquel did for him. Miquel only smiled faintly and focused more on the medicine for Michaella's wound.
"It's been almost four years since we met, Michaella and you are still the same. The beautiful girl I have always admired."
Michaella remained silent even though her ears heard Miquel's words. Her mind drifted to a while ago. Where this man expressed his feelings for Michaella, but at that time Michaella did not want to be in a relationship because she had to focus on studying. Where at that time Miquel always made her smile when she was sad and filled Michaella's empty days. Michaella also has feelings for the man, it's just that at that time she preferred studying rather than prioritizing what love is.
Miquel finished with Michaella's earlobe. He gently blew on the bandaged earlobe and gently rubbed the top of Michaella's head. Michaella was still silent even though previously she looked surprised by Miquel's actions. The girl kept looking ahead.
Miquel took a deep breath.
"I will replace all my mistakes with your happiness as long as you are with me."
Michaella smiled slyly. "Will all my family come back to life if with you, Miquel?"
"No, but you who live in peace. Keep all the beautiful memories in memory with me and live happily until death do us part."
Michaella smiled back sarcastically. "Then what if already with you I plan to kill you?"
"No problem. You just planned, I would even gladly die in your hands if that's the source of your happiness."
Michaella turned. Staring at Miquel in silence with the man also looking at her. showed his best smile without feeling the least bit guilty about the plan he threw at the injured Michaella. Ignoring Michaella who wanted to kill her at this moment with tears in her eyes, ready to cry at any time because she had been hiding her wounds for too long. Miquel pulled Michaella's body in his arms.
Michaella was crying again. Letting out all her feelings through tears in someone's arms. Feeling so hurt because of what happened to her and all the contradictions of life that exist. Michaella longed to disappear from this world. Forget everything that happened and come back again with all the happiness she should have. Michaella wanted her family back in her life and to be happy with her again.
Miquel was silent as long as Michaella was crying. Leting the girl calm in his arms and him trying to regain Michaella's attention that was missing for several years. Miquel missed this figure in his arms for a long time until they were finally reunited, although under different circumstances.
Miquel gently stroked Michaella's back which was covered by her jacket. Channeling serenity through his touch though he didn't know if it worked or not. Miquel only focused on Michaella's crying, which began to calm down and her chest felt wet. At least no one else was able to calm Michaella's tears because she was hurt by Miquel's actions. Fortunately, it's still the same person, giving wounds and then healing, even if not with happily.
Michaella began to calm down after crying for quite a while. Meanwhile, Miquel also continued to gently rub Michaella's back to calm her down. A few hours later, Miquel felt regular breaths in his chest. He smiled. Looks like Michaella was too tired to cry herself to sleep.
Miquel remained silent even though he pressed Michaella's body closer to his body. Protecting her from the chill that was getting to her bones. While Miquel himself only wore a thin black shirt with short sleeves.
Miquel exhaled slowly. His eyes looked up at the sky which now showed white clouds slightly mixed with ashes. It looks scary but is relaxing. For some reason, the night can always be a strong shield to persuade someone who is hurt by the atmosphere it provides. Only, the one who got hurt wasn't just Michaella but also Miquel.
It took a long time before Michael finally decided to bring Michaella into the car. There was no way he would let her body continue to feel cold when the night wind was increasingly showing its strength. Miquel doesn't want to make the wrong decision again. Only Michaella was left and he had to take care of her. Although somehow the girl will hate him and do stupid things later. Miquel just wants to see her, pay attention, and show love to Michaella. Making the girl feel happy even though it's not real.
Michaella moved when Miquel was about to move to switch positions, pulling Miquel's neck as if it was a comfortable bolster to continue sleeping. Miquel just smiled before finally letting go. Organizing the jacket Michaella was wearing and tidying up Michaella's slightly messy hair. Fun for Miquel, but maybe Michaella wouldn't have liked it if the girl had come to her senses.
Miquel kissed Michaella's forehead briefly, then moved to take a position at the steering wheel. Start driving the car back until it leaves the place it originally came from. Ignoring the late night and also the time that continues to spin forward.
