Chereads / The Tuner / Chapter 35 - Wow!

Chapter 35 - Wow!

The car rode into an elegantly structured building and two beautiful figures stepped out, " wow!, where is this?" Jade questioned in complete awe "you would get to know when you get in" he muttered with a mysterious smile as he took her hand, at the entrance they were greeted by an officially dressed lady who led them into a private room at the top floor of the building, as soon as she pushed the door open the mouth watering sight of food greeted her and her eyes brightened in excitement, the table was surrounded with chefs but they made way and left the room when the couple approached the table, "would you like to change your clothes" he asked "no i am fine" she said and Cyan waved the officially dressed lady away, "i can eat anything i like right?" she muttered and he nodded positively, any body could easily notice the excitement in her face and Cyan couldn't help but smile, she began eating almost immediately, she had a little of everything on her plate as she digged, while she ate, Cyan watched her, he only ate little but watching her puffed cheeks with every food she put in her mouth was satisfying, finally she ate to her fill and the table got cleared, "thanks" she mumbled "don't say that, its my responsibility as your boyfriend" he said and she smiled, silence filled the place until he finally decided to speak "Jade, i am not as simple as i look, i have done many cruel things, things that are unspeakable" he said as he toyed with his weaved bracelet "you kill?" she asked "i have killed alot but only those who deserve it i don't kill unjustly" he said "now i see why Turlip is so against you" she muttered as her eyes brightened with curiosity, "how is it like, i watch it movies and it doesn't seem any satisfying" she muttered and he held her hand "yeah, it isn't satisfying at all, don't ever think of doing it, you had only feel guilty after the killing, its something you would regret for the rest of your life and murder is very punishable by law, forget about it lets talk about you" he said "i wasn't planning to kill, i was only excited to talk to someone who has the experience of what i watch" she said "well, there is nothing about me, i used to be nobody, someone who has no meaning to life to the point of not having a name, Turlip and Ixora liberated me and i became Jade" she muttered with her gaze out of the window, the sadness in her eyes couldn't be escaped, slowly he moved his sit close to hers and pulled her into his arms, "its okay, you are free now" he whispered "it isnt okay, Turlip and Ixora think i have no idea of what is going on, maybe i am not really smart but i know what is happening, my mother and every of my family who ever earned the title tuner, always got killed by that town in the name of cleansing, clueless me i used to think i was having the best of it all when i was at the tower but when i left there i realised my life was worst than most stray animals, i couldn't even see the sun or the moon and they want me to come back and continue with the way i used to live, sing to them and earn their town money like the slaves my ancestors used to be, get raped at age thirty to bear a child that would continue being a slave and being slayned at age forty to cleanse their town, those that got killed, they did nothing they served the town for forty years in cluelessness and suffering and still they have to be killed to continue an insane tradition, they are searching and they might find me one day but i am never going back to be their slave even if it means my death" she said with overflowing anger and sadness, Cyan on the other hand had a cold expression till she ended her words, he hugged her thighter and patted her back soothingly, "no one can take you away, you have me now, you have a lot of people looking out for you, nobody is taking you back there" he whispered and she nodded slightly with her head buried in his chest, only if tuner's town knew the hardship that was yet to befall them, minutes passed and she finally calmed her emotions, she raised her head with a faint smile "i am fine" she mumbled and he leaned into her "Jade you are my girlfriend now and you are my responsibility, if there is anything you have troubles with always reach out to me" he said and she nodded then he picked her phone which was lying on the table and inserted his phone number into it, "that's my phone number, i saved it with bf incase you need something" he said "ok" she mumbled and he suddenly kissed her again but this time it was much longer than the last, "can you stop doing that out of blue" she muttered with a shy expression and he smiled mysteriously as he rubbed her lips "ok" he whispered, just then the alarm on her phone blared indicating twelve midnight and she picked her bag "its time to go, if i am any later Turlip wouldn't like it" she said and he grabbed his car keys and led her out.
