Chapter 3: Can't stop thinking about her 01
"I didn't see anyone, what's up with you? You seem to be disturbed." Max asked as he was concerned about her. Her face, that was usually devoid of emotions, was looking like that of a child who lost his mother amidst of a crowd.
"Umm, n-no, it's nothing." Adria replied, still looking in the direction the car left.
'There should be some cameras around, I am gonna find you, baby.' Adria thought in her mind."Uh, but why am I even interested in finding her? And does she even exist? And if she does exist and I did find her, what am I going to do then? Playing pillow fight with her?
Well let's just find her first, rest would be decided later. But she indeed was beautiful. And the way she was walking, Oh my! like she was a goddess walking on the clouds, and ....."
Adria was thinking about all that and Max was standing beside her, watching her as her face suddenly was filled with pride, the next moment it was griped with sadness and loneliness, then doubts surfacing, then a hint of satisfaction, then she was looking up in the sky, showing a genuine smile, her face filled of admiration.
Her grin spread across her face. She smiled, she actually smiled. That stone faced goddess actually smiled.
And for the first time Max saw her genuinely happy. And she was looking, cute! She had an oval face, strong jaw and cat-like slanted deep eyes, and paper thin lips. Her teeth were tiny, pearl-like sitting next to each other. Her shoulder were well developed from religious exercise, and her over all stature looked like a lanky man. One couldn't decide on a first glance if she were a man or a woman.
At last, when Max could not hold his curiosity back anymore, he tapped on her shoulder.
"Why are you dreaming here, standing in middle of a street? I think we have to go home first, after all big boss seems to have a specially worse connection with this pest General Li."
And hence, poor Adria was dragged out of her dream where the floral dress girl and she were standing there, hands in hands, walking by sideways of a garden.
She shook her head, and lifted her bike, put the helmet on, wroom wroom....., and her back could be scene as she rode her bike, increasing the distance, larger and larger.....
Back at the farmhouse.....
A meeting was going on. Villa at the farm had a huge video conference room, which could easily accommodate 500 person at once. A wall TV was which displayed a hand patting a cat, and everyone in the room was attentively listening to the mysterious man in the TV.
"Hmm, good job, the speed with which you found out the culprit was indeed good Adria, and Akon, you should take care of that scientist right now. This should not be treated lightly, and this scientist should be a good example why one should never mess with us . We shouldn't kill him, but we have to teach him a lesson. Take his family out of detention. And now tell him that he is ours for his whole life. He and his family are safe and sound here, he will work for us for his whole life, and he now his life is limited within our empire. If he wants his freedom, he can seek it from death."
"Okay, I am going to do that right away."
"Update me with the progress you'll make, and all of you, don't get distracted, always stay attentive."
Everyone in the room:-"Yes sir."
And the screen went blank.
Everyone around turned to Akon as he begin:- "I am going to do as father asked, and Adria, you stay here on guard. Max, you come with me. Rest of you, stay on stand by, if we won't be able to handle the conflict, we'll call you." Akon knew that the enemy will be awaiting them, so it was for the best if they won't underestimate them. The fear of unknown is stronger than the fear of known.
He waited as his words registered on the mind of every person there, and the left with Max and 15 top grade fighters.
Adria didn't speak a word all the time.
Her mind was else where, at the street, where time paused for others, only the girl in the floral dress was moving. Adria just had a brief look at her face, but she was now tattooed on Adria's mind. She imagined them together, walking next to each other, she laughing with her, spending time with each other, eating together, her sweet voice (which she hadn't heard yet), and she tried to guess her name, but failed every time. According to her, no name was worthy enough to suit that eternal beauty. She imagined her future with that girl. Where she was nothing like a merciless killer, but a normal girl.
And one more thing, Adria wanted that eternal beauty to be hers, only hers. She wanted to protect her. She wanted to be the one whom that girl will look up too. She wanted to be the pillar she will lean on, a friend, a family, a sister, a mother, a lover.....everything. She wanted to create a heaven for that angel of hers.
Right now, Adria no longer was thinking about her father's words, the threat they were facing, annoying pests, nah-ah, she was thinking,"What will I call her if I'll meet her? How do one start a conversation normally?"
As expected, the underworld queen, whose each sentences were decorated by life threats and curses, didn't knew "How to start a normal conversation".
