Luliyah tried to call Kelvin one last time. The phone rang for a while, but Kelvin didn't pick the call. When she was about to hang up, Luliyah realized that the call was already connected. Kelvin had already responded to her call.
"Hello, are you busy? Am I bothering you?" Luliyah asked in a low voice.
"Hmm....No. What is wrong?" Kelvin replied briefly. He was in a bad mood so he didn't want to talk at length.
Luliyah could feel it that Kelvin was angry, so she felt tensed a little. "I've been hired. Tomorrow I will start working so I will be able to familiarize with the Store's products. After that I will be assisting the head-perfumer to make perfumes. " Luliyah explained.
"So? Do you want to leave your blind husband at home, to pursue your dreams?" Kelvin replied wryly. What he said did sound absurd, but he couldn't help feeling annoyed knowing Luliyah met Oscar. If only he could, he really wanted to lock his wife at home so that she wouldn't have to meet any man.
Luliyah felt her body shudder. She knew that Kelvin was upset. Maybe because she was resuming at work the next day.
"I would be at work at 8 and return home by 5 in the evening. After that I won't go anywhere. I will be at home with you." Luliyah said softly. She tried to persuade Kelvin. She can't lose this job.
There was no answer from the other side, but Luliyah knew that Kelvin had not given her the permission.
"Kelvin..." She whispered softly, "I really want this job."
Kelvin's heart melted when he heard Luliyah beg him. If Luliyah begged him in this manner, how could he possibly refuse. He just took a deep breath, "Alright." He said softly.
Luliyah was shocked when she heard him. She never thought that she could persuade Kelvin this easy, "Really?"
"Hmm ... Tomorrow I'll be going to Germany and I'll be back next week." Kelvin said.
'Travelling again? Did he not just return from a trip recently?' It seems like she married the busiest man in the world, Luliyah thought.
"What time will you be leaving tomorrow? I will escort you to the airport." Luliyah said.
"No, the airport is too far from home. After you get home from work, you better take a break." Those words should have sounded caring, but somehow Luliyah felt Kelvin said it coldly.
"I am your wife. Of course I have to take you there." Luliyah said firmly.
Kelvin snorted at Luliyah's words. Of recent, Luliyah did not want to reveal her status as Kelvin's wife, but now she openly claimed that she was Kelvin's wife.
"Are you mad at me? Because I didn't ask for permission first and decided right away that I'm starting work tomorrow?" Luliyah carefully asked. She didn't want to make Kelvin even more angry.
"No." Kelvin replied curtly. He was not angry because of that. He was annoyed because Luliyah suddenly met Oscar.
Even though Kelvin said no, Luliyah knew that he was angry with her, "I'm sorry." She said in a low voice. She really couldn't give up this job. So, the only thing she could do was apologize to Kelvin.
Kelvin didn't answer because he knew Luliyah didn't know why he was angry. Luliyah did not know that Kelvin was upset because of her meeting with Oscar.
"Hurry home." Luliyah continued after not getting any response from Kelvin.
"Hmm.. I'll be home soon." Kelvin said and ended the call. Indeed, this woman was the only person that could melt his heart. He couldn't be mad at Luliyah for too long, especially after hearing her sad tone when she asked him to come home soon.
Harris watched in amazement. Never once has he seen Kelvin behave like this in his life.
"Sir, are you really going overseas for treatment this soon? He asked.
Harris felt this was not the right time for Kelvin to leave. What if Oscar took the opportunity while they parted ways to approach Luliyah? Or even kidnapping Luliyah? Harris couldn't imagine how Kelvin would react if that really happened.
"Oscar suddenly returned and Ivan will also be back soon. I can't wait too long. The problems will build up even more." Kelvin's face looked calm as he said this. However, his lips were thinning and also tightened, showing that he really didn't want to do it either. But he had no other choice.
Harris was not against it, but there was one question that came to his mind, "Sir, with your abilities, you could easily run away even if you were caught. But instead you became blind and paralyzed due to the accident. At that time.... At the time of the accident, was Mrs. Luliyah with you?"
Harris knew Kelvin's abilities well. Kelvin was very good at martial arts, His instincts were strong and his reflexes were also very fast. There was no way Kelvin could be caught easily by his enemy and become blind and paralyzed like this when he was alone. Seeing Kelvin's attitude towards Luliyah, as well as from the various information he got, Harris guessed that Kelvin was not alone at that time. Luliyah was there too.
"Hmm...." Kelvin did not dodge this time. He just muttered incoherently.
Harris immediately looked at Kelvin in surprise. Although he had guessed it, he did not think that it was true, "What really happened to you at that time? Does it have something to do with Mrs. Luliyah?"
Kelvin's mouth closed tightly. He didn't want to answer that question.
"Sir, maybe if Mrs. Luliyah can regain her memory, she can help us to solve this problem." Harris said.
"No need." Kelvin replied without looking at Harris. He stared at the closed window with a curtain, a window that was never opened since his eyes were injured.
His memory drifted to the accident that occurred the previous year. An accident that made Luliyah loose her memory. An accident that made Kelvin loose his ability walk and his eyesight.
At the time, the doctors in charge of him said that maybe Kelvin would spend all of his time on a wheelchair, unless a miracle happened.
Those words didn't discourage Kelvin. He didn't wait for a miracle to come, he decided to create the miracle himself. He went through rehabilitation, thousands of physiotherapy, none of which made him complain until finally he managed to get up. His dark and dim world slowly began to look brighter. The hazy shadow slowly grew clearer. That experience made Kelvin's heart appreciate life more. However, his heart was still cold.
Until the end, fate brought him back with Luliyah. The only woman who could melt his heart.
He will never let go of that woman's hand again.
He could create miracle by getting up again, so he would also find out the truth of the accident that happened one year ago.
For Luliyah, the accident was a painful memory. Kelvin felt it was better if she didn't remember him.
'As long as Luliyah is happy...' Kelvin thought.
"Sir, you really love your wife." Harris said. He did not ask this question but confirmed it. He could see how Kelvin's face became calm when he heard Luliyah's name, as if he was thinking about it and imagining it.
"Harris, this time I'll go alone. You stay at home and report to me if there's any information about Oscar." Kelvin ordered him.
Harris immediately understood what Kelvin meant. Kelvin asked him to take care of Luliyah so that Oscar would not come back to her. "Yes, sir. I will make sure Oscar Juyat will not approach Mrs. Luliyah."
"Tell several bodyguards to guard Luliyah 24 hours. Imelda has started paying attention to Luliyah lately." Kelvin reminded Harris once again.
Harris frowned when he heard the orders. He felt that Kelvin must work extra hard to protect Luliyah, even though he himself had gone to great length to solve his own problems.
"Sir, I don't want you to have weaknesses." Harris said.
As a friend, of course Harris didn't want anything to happen to Kelvin. Especially now that Kelvin had someone he had to protect besides himself. Harris didn't understand what was so special about Luliyah. According to him, Luliyah was a burden to Kelvin.
"Harris, Luliyah may indeed be my weakness. But she is also my shield. My world has become bright because of Luliyah." Kelvin's expression softened as he said this.
