Chapter 5 ~ Like football ~
- Anna's Pov *
I looked around carefully, seeing no one was around, I burst into tears, not so loudly. I pressed my hands over my mouth to stop myself and also prevent others from hearing me. I silently let my tears come out; I don’t want to look weak in front of everyone, especially in front of that devil. I don’t want to give him the satisfaction he wants from me.
After a while, I stopped myself; I looked up and started to fan my teary eyes; I wanted to dry these tears and prevent them from coming out; I already spent so many tears on this heartless devil.
Five long years was enough; he doesn’t deserve that, nor did he ever do. Also, I can’t believe these stupid tears were coming again, I wanted to curse someone, so I cursed them for being so foolish and shameless.
I wiped the tears with my hands and took a deep breath, and looked around; I needed to run away because as far I know this devil, no tears can melt his heart, now that he took me here, this bastard won’t let me go as my will. I need to find my way to escape from this castle and whatever; it was like a prison to me now.
I started walking around carefully to see where I was, no matter how long I was walking. I can’t finish the way, how long this shit is. I started feeling a little irritated with this; it was too long to end and begin again.
When I finally stopped, I didn't know where I was; I looked back, now I finally understood when people say you can be lost anywhere if that place is an unknown place for you. My condition was like a sand mountain needle, nor can I walk forward and not go back because I was lost here.
It seems my head was too hot to look at anything around me when I was coming here, now suffer until someone comes to find you. I wanted to find a way to run away, but look, I was waiting for someone to find me and take me back to where I came from. I looked around and saw a balcony, an idea came to mind, and I went to the balcony.
“ huh “I cleared my throat a little and wanted to let out my head outside from the window, but because the window was secured with a protective layer, I could not let my head out. So I attached my face to the window and let out my voice as loud as I could.
“ Hey idiot blaze, I lost my way, sent someone to get me right now, it’s too dark here, “I said as loudly my throat could bear. It was a little funny, though, but it also reduced my anger a little.
At least I called him an idiot, and everyone might hear me; I felt proud of it. He deserved it. How dare he?
- Blaze’s Pov *
As Anna ran outside, I followed her but carefully so that she won’t catch me and get angry more than she already was. I can understand her anger; I deserve her hate, her rage, everything because it was my deed that turned her into hatred for me.
When I finally spotted her, she was crying with both hands pressing over her mouth. Silly but still very stubborn, she did not change even a little bit; it was suddenly my disappearance that caused her all the pain.
She was such a lovely girl who always lived without any care in the world; she did everything she wanted. She was like air; she was like her own master, My Anna was courageous, but after five years, she lost that spark from her eyes.
Now seeing her crying like a thief, I wanted to pull her in my arms and tell her she can scold me, curse me, hit me for hurting but not herself like this.
Five years what I did was for her, for our future, but I don’t know what to do with my life and how to say to her the unspoken words I was holding in my heart, especially my identity, she will hate me more if I say this now. A black life I’m living. She already hates me too much. I can’t break this news right now, and the truth is, I don’t have that strength right now. Making her fall in love with me again is now my priority, and it was likely impossible.
She started going towards the wrong side, I wanted to stop her, but I know she will go in that direction if I say no and stop her. My Anna was born with stubbornness, and I don’t think this habit is going anywhere. Nor do I mind her addiction; everything is okay as long she is with me; nothing else matters.
She stopped after coming to a dark spot; it was the north side, sunlight could not reach here because it was on the opposite side of the ocean, so it was very dark, and I know she fears the most is darkness.
I stood behind a pillar so that she won’t feel scared if she thought of my presence here. She scratched her head like a lost child; I wanted to smile; she always does this when confused. After a few seconds, she doesn’t know where to go, and suddenly she went toward the small window covered with a protective layer.
She attached her face to the window and was about to do something, which I knew nothing good would be. and I heard her scream, “ hey idiot blaze, I lost my way, sent someone to get me right now, it’s too dark here. “I already had this bad feeling.
My people heard her mightily; clearly, I sighed in defeat, this girl. I’m their boss, and she tarnished my formidable reputation in front of them, she kicked my reputation like football.
