Chapter 41: "MARIELLE"

"ARE you sure you can drive? Don't you just want us to take a jeep since it's still early?" Ara asked Daniel Monday morning when they were inside the young man's car. She was then currently fastening her seat belt.

As usual, her boyfriend picked her up so that they could go to school together. She has not yet told her parents about her boyfriend's situation but she also plans to let them know the truth. So that they would not be surprised and ask why she was in the big house more often to accompany the young man.

"Of course, as long as I can, I won't let you commute. I don't want you to experience what happened to you before, you were harassed by a drunk man," he said, staring at her intently.

Ara then nodded and couldn't help but let out a sad sigh that reached the young man's hearing. It was when he took her hand, then kissed it.

"You don't have to feel sorry for me, sweetheart. I will fight, no matter how hard, I promise you that," Daniel said in a firm voice.
