As the cold breeze blows in the air,Roxana feel a little chilly, thankfully Asher gave her his jacket and helmet. He slowly ride his bike while she tightly hold his shirt feeling a little bit uneasy as it was her first yome riding on a bike and that too with a boy she barely know.
At first, she really doesn't want to sit in his bike but he silently stared at her which made her feeling complicated rather than uncomfortable, in the end she reluctantly agreed.
They soon reach her Aunt's house, Roxana got down from his bike, took off his helmet and gave it to him while nervously looking at him.
Asher took his helmet and saw her staring at him, "What? "
"Why did you help me? "
Asher wear his helmet and casually said, "He looked unpleasant to me".
" Huh"
Roxana was stunned because she never imagine that the reason he punched that guy was that he found him unpleasant.
'Rich people are really strange' she thought.
Asher face inside the helmet smile slightly at her stunned face and murmured, "Goodnight Roxana" and ride away. His voice was low but loud enough to be heard.
'He didn't even take his jacket'
'Wait'
Roxana suddenly stopped.
'How did he know I stayed here?'
'He even knew my name'
'Shit'
Roxana slapped her naive self when she remember that she didn't even told him her name neither her address, they were completely stranger to each other. He might even kidnapped or killed her. Thankfully, he just drove her home.
While thinking Roxana entered the house and went into her room, she found the switch and on the light in her room and nearly shriek out when she saw Rian sitting on her bed.
"You scared the hell out of me", she scolded him.
Rian just stared at her and asks, " Did Asher Shyne dropped you? "
"Umm...yeah", Roxana was suddenly nervous and turn to looked around her room.
Rian stood up from her bed and reach to hold her nervous hand and said, "Asher is not as you think he is,Ro you're my sister, so I don't want you to get hurt, if it's some other boy I might agree but he, " he shook his head, "Impossible."
He continued, " Stay away from him, ok? "
Roxana looked at their hand and nodded. Since she was young Rian always looked after her, so she never doubt his words.
"Goodnight Ro."
He gently patted her hair and left her room.
"Goodnight", she whispered.
She doesn't understand why she had this complex feeling about Asher, maybe she felt desolate and bereft that she find him appealing.
She looked at the jacket on her shoulder, which made her miss her father and gave a dejected smile to herself.
Roxana had been brought up by her father since she can remember, he was the best father figure she had.She doesn't understand her parents, they are separated but never divorced each other. They were once a very happy family until she was ten years old her mother abruptly left to work abroad.
Roxana herself at that time cried at her mother.
"Mama, please don't go"
She even begged her mother to bring her with her.
"Can I and Papa go with you".
Her mother wiped her tears and bitterly said "I'm sorry baby, but mama really has to work".
After that time the number of times they met can be counted, except on her birthday or her father's, her mother never came back even when her father dies she never came back. The reason Roxana hated her mother was because she never came even when her father's died.
She finally came back later after a week of her father's death, and want Roxana to live with her.
Roxana coldly replied her, "No need, I'm going to live with Aunt Beth".
Her mother was about to say something when she cut in, " It my father's wish to study in Northern University ".
After saying that she left her without looking back. Since then, they never met again.
