A year later.....

It's late December, I took 2 weeks off to visit Tiere at Jakarta, staying at her apartment. Tiere told me she loves her job and she made a lot of money. I'm so happy that I let her chase her dreams. And I, I finally got to work at my dream game company, was accepted right after a month dating Tiere. She's like a lucky charm to me.

The sun shining through the open curtain, I woke up before the alarm start beeping. I turned it off once it rang cause it's Sunday, I leaned forward looking at the peaceful looks of Tiere while she's sleeping, drooling on her pillow, greasy hair, and her messy waterproof makeup, did she forget to wash her face or? I use my thumb to wipe her eye –shadow but I didn't make it, for me she's always beautiful, my lips lifted upward I feel warm in my heart as it beats faster cause I realize how much I love her. Somehow it's so calming and my heart is melting. I leaned my head forward again, kiss her lips once and she pouted. "I want to sleeeppppp" she said, tossing her body to the other side. I laid back on the bed, hug her from behind. 

"Good morning, my dear" I whispered. I heard her sniffing smiles. Then my phone ruined my Sunday. 

drrrttt drrttt drrttt

I sit up to catch my phone, my mom's picture popped up. DAMN! SHE IS VIDEO CALLING ME RIGHT NOW? I LIED TO HER! But it's okay, I am 24 years old. BUT NO, JUST PRETEND I'M IN THE HOTEL.

I click the green button soon as my mom's face close up-ly appeared. I was kind of shock, my heart start pumping fast, throbbing behind my ribs, it's going to crack soon.

"Hii.. Mom" my jaw turns rigid. 

"Hey, so, you're at Jakarta?" my mom asked, still smiling.  

I nod my head, "Yes"

"Huh.. it's so hard to ask you to come to Miami, but when it is about Tiere, you arrived soon as she asked" 

I told my mom about Tiere and my mom was so happy about it. I don't know she used to ship me with Tiere since grade –school. I don't understand my mom sometimes. 

"Mom..." I rolled my eyes. 

"So where's she?"

"She is beside me..ups" I covered my mouth, DAMN! MY MOM PURPOSELY SHIFT MY CONCENTRATION.

Her smile disappeared, her face turned scary. THIS IS THE END OF MY LIFE!

"HAA!! YOU!!! Bastard! You slept with TIERE?? YOU DARE LIED TO ME?? YOU WANNA GET MARRIED SOON, HUH?" 

"Momm.. mom... listen" like usually....

Then, how about Caroline and the flowers?

Back to that time.

Once I've done my confessions towards Tiere, I walked back to my car light –heartedly. I feel happy and relieved at the same time. 

drrrtt drrttt

It's Caroline. Oh, I really forgot about her! I was kinda shock.

"Ryan.. where the hell are you?"

"Caroline.. I'm so sorry to say this. But, I think I'd like to stay with Tiere cause I love her" I said as I scratched my forehead, I know I sound like a total jerk but this is for the best.

"What???" she moaned and hung up the phone, before I even explain. 

Then the florist got to call me. 

"Hello, Giany's florist here. Am I talking with Mr.Valerian?"
 "Hello, miss florist. The bouquet and the chocolate box, sorry.. my girlfriend just left the town, so I'm giving that package for you. Thankyou!"

It turned her speechless, maybe I sound pathetic but not too pathetic that makes her confused. Ah, not a big deal.

That's how I deal with my puppy lover and the first roses I bought.

So here's a little throwback of the story and the specific descriptions of the character: 

Ryan (Valerian) : a tall nerd guy, he used to be thin, but he did some work out. He has a dark hair color and a pair of glasses but just in some times since he plays computer a lot. Sometimes he doesn't put any glasses while on date. Well, he is kind of good looking back in High School, just very thin so nobody noticed them, like he is nearly invisible. Ryan is from a very rich family too, but he is simple, so nobody has ever realized it. 

Tiere : a nerd girl who tends to be so active, and talkative. She has a dark past during her school time, students like to judge her, but since graduated from high school she did some improvements of her both appearance and her image that makes her prettier in the present time. But nah, in the past time, she is kind of retarded. Her family isn't that rich, but her mom's new husband and her dad's new wife are billionaires. But Tiere won't take a cent from them. She is tough. 

Caroline : she is one of the queen bees gang in their school. But she is the most normal among the others, I mean.. she is kinda study a lot rather than hanging out and shopping, even though she does a lot of shopping too. She is from a very rich family, that's why people like to cling into her. Nowadays people.

Calvin : Tiere's ex –boyfriend. Son of a famous cosmetic company. Calvin and Tiere were not in the same school. They met in the pub where Tiere worked at. That time, Calvin has a crush on her, and get to know her better. Tiere doesn't change because of Calvin, so don't get her wrong. She changed because she feel kinda ashamed of her past life during her school time. 

The quotes and some descriptions were inspired by descriptionari, they have tons of beautiful quotes and inspirational writings there. I develop my knowledge, learning from that website.

(Goodbye in Bahasa Indonesia)

Hello it's me Jam.
- The girl known as a sad person LMAO. 

-I have been not active for months,
How am I? Well I'm doing fine, that's what we all say right? Actually school just got finished and a lot of things are happening to our world, like the Virus named NCov. Good thing I don't have that.


Feb 11, 2020
       I confessed to my crush.
First I said "Hey, I liked you" and he says he likes me too. I was so happy because he is so sweet, kind and loyal. But as time goes by I started to feel like I don't love him in a way like I want him to be my boyfriend or it's just my friend who is his ex likes him again. It's okay if my friend still likes him I guess? But problems starts to come again in my life, I failed my exams (actually I'm an Honor Student), my parents started to compare me again to my sisters and different people, I started to act bad again that's why I hated myself more and more, I avoid my crush until the time that I said I want him to be my friend only and he started to act like the way he used to (Silent and Sad inside), I wish I could tell him all my problems but I think telling him about how I feel will make him sad too so... I just hide it. Weeks passed and I started to talk to him again and became like the old days where we are so close and talking like everyday but still he didn't notice my pain every smile, every laugh that I showed to him.

Until the end of the school year came and he talked to me with his friends and says "Umm...Hey, wanna talk about your problems?", I was shocked and wanted to tell him everything but I don't want to tell everyone know about it so I just said "Hmm? I don't have any problems dude, Haha" and I said goodbye while I regret what I did.
He chatted me online and says sorry that he's with his friends and we can't talk alone together, he says he wanted to hug me but when he saw me he frozed, I say it's okay and he promised me that he will hug me when the next school year starts.
I still love him like as a crush but I'm scared he only think of me now as a friend so I just keep it inside, I haven't cut/slit my wrist for months now because I'm trying to avoid any self harm but as I keep the pain inside my attitude changes a lot until I feel nothing anymore. Well my family don't even care about me like they don't talk to me, and if they will it's only because it's needed.
It's okay though because I don't feel sadness anymore because I'm used to it.
I started to stay away from social media and other apps so that I could be more active like doing activities in home but until now all I do is sleep.
I download apps for depression chats but it doesn't work for me. Until I just gave up and just go with the flow in this world, Idk anymore.

Everyday before I sleep my Anxiety came back again.
The Feeling of fear of Dying.
Things popped up in my head like what will happen when I die? Will my world just turn into black? Am I going to see everyone? Can I still touch myself? Will I go to a peaceful place where I can find the peace in my self? Or will I be reincarnated and just forget my past life?
When I get old, can I still do lot of things? Will my children leave me or stay? Am I going to be alone or with my husband? Can I still meet my old friends and spend time together?
Idk. Nobody knows.
As I listen to a music  "Lofi".
I sometimes felt calm, sad or lonely.
My crush starts to talk to me again and tell me a lot of happy things and I sometimes blushed secretly (in Chat) But today he came offline again and says to me that he will not be active for days... I miss him.
And I miss my old self too...
The Girl who is Active, always hyped, crazy, positive, always smile, always laugh and open to others. 



                           I Miss Myself.



-Hello Everyone I will end this story for now because I have a lot of work to do Haha, but I'll still continue again to make stories.
I'm a newbie to writing but I'll try to restart again and be a better writer as time goes by.
Please Support me Uwu haha.
Thank you guys, I wish you a Good day and Positive life, let's all pray to those people who have NCov.
Stay safe, always wash hands and avoid close contact with others and most of all Stay Hydrated Luvs.


Wish you Good health and happy life.
Enjoy your life and everything in this world,
Always do your best because we only Live once Uwu.
Don't forget to pray and talk to God.
Be open to others that you know and trusted.
We make mistakes but don't worry because everyone made mistakes, if you can correct it then do it right and if you can't don't worry because that's just past, also don't lie to others because truth is for what happened in the past while lies are what's going to happen in the future.
I have watched a movie All The Brightest Places it is a good movie for those who felt loneliness or something, i recommend it and there is a lot of quotes there too which is one of my favourite things to do (read quotes) 
The story tells different types of feelings that you might also feel too.  Sounds good right?! 
Watch it and let's talk how good that movie is Hehe. 
One last thing.



                        I LOVE YOU ALL


"I'm Awake"
-T. F

Hi, Here i'll tell you a story about a girl with depression.

We've all felt at one point in our life that we were going to die. We've imagined it accepted it but then we open our eyes and realise that we weren't dead yet. 


Inspirational quotes will tell you that you live to fulfil God's wishes in your life, maybe it is true, maybe it is a lie. Maybe we have our time of death just as we have our time of life and until our time of death reaches we cannot die. I best believe that.

I opened my eyes to see that I was Still alive and it shocked me. Mario Jose sat on the bed not caring if I died or lived and I suddenly felt rage.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked crying. I struggled to breath while my lungs burnt.

"You ask why, is that answer not obvious to you. You think you can buy me with your wealth just because you are the senators daughter you think everyone will bow to you?" He yelled looking up at me with more rage than is allowed for one man.

"You agreed to marry me I didn't force you to neither did my father," he sprung up from the bed with a murderous look on his face like he was going to murder me. And maybe he was. He moved to where I stood so swiftly I could have missed him walking. He held my hands tightly and stared at me boring into my soul.

"Do not give me that crap, Monica. You didn't force me but you left me no choice. no choice." he screamed at my face and I shivered in fear. Fear of the unknown. This him I did not know but wished to know. I wanted to know all of him the sides he hid from the world and the sides he let the world see.

"I love you Mario don't you see that, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone more than I love my self more than I love anything," I cried. Trying to reason with a rage filled man is as useless as reasoning with a woman in love but I didn't care. I needed him to know that I loved him very much. That was all that mattered to me at the point.

"You don't know what love is. You don't!" He yelled. "Why are you here? " he asked pushing me against the door again. He bent down so his eyes could meet mine and at that point I forgot how to speak "

"We are married now Jose__I___"

"That doesn't answer by damn question bitch!" he said. Before I could speak again he hit me across the face and I fell sideways falling on my knees. 


He dragged my hair pulling me up so I could face him. "Answer the damn question or you will regret it?" He shouted menacingly. Looking into his eyes I've never seen such rage. I felt scared and turned on at the same time. I don't know what came over me but my inner demons took over and I kissed him.

If only he could love me, if only. I'll be the happiest person in the world. I do not mind walking on fire as long as he will love me, if only he will. But he hates me, my husband hates me. He has a lover.

-.  only I can change my life. no one can do it for me
-.  Whether you're going through a break up, you've just lost your job, or you simply woke up feeling a little insecure this morning—we've all had these days.
- You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
-. "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." -John Lennon
-  Get busy living or get busy dying."-Stephen King
-. When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."-Helen Keller
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do."-Mark Twain
-. "When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."-Audre Lorde
-.  A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. " -William Shakespeare

All y'all going to find hear and my favorite
Quotes

She was lucky. This time the boss could speak Mandarin. He smiled as he replied to her, "Miss, you have good judgment. I like the stud earrings as well. I actually intended to keep them for myself, but since you like them, I'll sell the pair to you. A pair of stud earrings costs 80 yuan."
80 yuan! Chi Enen bit her lip. It was about the same price as what she had expected. But she put down the stud earrings and bargained with the boss. "Boss, 80 yuan is too expensive, can it be cheaper? If it is cheaper, I'll buy it."
Li Beijue frowned, he was about to pay for her automatically. Chi Enen knew that he would spoil her plans. She quietly reached out her hands to grab hold of him, shaking her head at him quietly. 
What was the woman doing?
Chi Enen stopped him and made use of the opportunity to bargain with the boss. "Boss, give me a lower price. I didn't bring much money on my first trip abroad. I also want to buy some other things. If you sell it at 80 yuan, I won't be able to buy anything else."
The boss seemed to be in a difficult position. "But Miss, I have given you a very low price."
"If that's the case then never mind." Chi Enen pulled Li Beijue to walk away, a reluctant look on her face.
She had just taken a few steps when she felt that she was being held back.
She froze and looked up. The man with the cold expression tugged at her hands. He seemed to want to go back to the stall.
"Li Beijue, what are you doing?"
"Don't you like those stud earrings? Why do you walk away? I'll buy them for you." She was his woman. He would not allow her to give up a pair of 80 yuan stud earrings that she liked. 
Chi Enen stopped him, looking exasperated. "I am not leaving. I am just…"
"What?" Li Beijue had a stiff expression on his face, directing his aristocratic phoenix eyes on her. 
Chi Enen had no idea how she should explain the art of bargaining to him. 
Fortunately, at this time, the boss stopped them.
"Miss, wait. I'll give it to you at 60 yuan! 60 yuan is the lowest. If you like them, you can have them. If you still feel that it's expensive, then forget it."
Chi Enen was relieved. She pulled Li Beijue back to the booth, a smile on her face as she explained to him on the way back. "You don't understand. One can usually bargain at this kind of roadside stalls. The boss knows about this as well, therefore they quote a higher price. If they run into people who do not know how to bargain and pay according to the price that the boss quotes, they will earn more. If they run into people who know how to bargain, they have a range where they can cut the price. Therefore, when one shops at places like this, never pay according to the price that the seller first quotes you. One must bargain with them. If they refuse to give in, pretend to walk away. The boss will usually reduce the price in order to sell their goods."
Li Beijue's heart ached as he listened to her while she shared her bargaining techniques.
What kind of life had she lived in the past few years and why did she know so much? He preferred her to know nothing than to know everything.
Chi Enen did not know what was on his mind. She paid 60 yuan to the boss, feeling satisfied with the stud earrings that she just bought.
Anxin loved simple accessories. This pair of pearl stud earrings was just nice. She would definitely love it.
After completing her biggest task today, Chi Enen felt much more relaxed. She pulled the man next to her to continue with her shopping, feeling more at ease.
There was something very good about the night market and there was everything that one needed. 
There was food, drinks and fun. As long as one could think of it, there was nothing that the night market did not have.
Chi Enen had lots of fun shopping, eating and drinking. She also bought a lot of interesting stuff.
"What is that?"
Just when she was about to call it a day, she saw a group of people who were gathered in front of her. They seemed as if they were snatching up something good. Her eyes lit up, as she pulled Li Beijue to run toward that direction. "Li Beijue, let's go and take a look." 


In front of others, he is a cold and callous President of an empire. Young, wealthy and handsome, he is also the Prince Charming in every woman’s heart.
Only Chi Enen knows how temperamental, domineering and possessive he is!
Five years ago, Chi Enen left him and disappeared without a trace. Now, she bumped into him coincidentally and he refuses to let her go.
After their reencounter, he bounds Chi Enen mercilessly to his side. If she is out of his sight for a moment, his paranoia will be triggered…
“I gave in to you in the past because I can't bear not to. Now, I have already decided to do it my way. I don't need your agreement."
“Li Beijue, what do you want from me?”
“I just want you to fall in love with me!”
Chi Enen struggles to get out of his clutches and at the same time, fighting desperately to resist his charm. 
Will he discover the truth of what happened five years ago?

Two years later
Turquoise Villa, Houston.
The wind was still and the ocean was tranquil, reflecting the colours of the resplendent sunset that was a brilliant mixture of red and orange with the touch of a gorgeous pink. Most of the flowers had their petals lowered preparing themselves for bedtime, not forgetting to leave an alluring scent in the atmosphere while the birds were seen flying in two's and three's below the beautiful sunset.
In the pond directly behind the vast field of flowers and trees, the goldfishes, carps and shrimps were swimming happily without a care in the world beside the corals and the gray and black pebbles. The water from the pond was flowing downhill, trickling and making rippling sounds through carefully placed rocks making a mini waterfall which stretched towards the end of villa.
Standing at the edge of an octagonal, open-aired balcony was a beautiful girl wearing a white lacy backless sundress. Her platinum blonde layered wavy hair coloured with silver highlights was let loose over her shoulders and covered her bare back to her waist making the sexy sundress appear modest. Placing her elbows on the modern balcony guardrail, Penny closed her eyes when the ocean breeze caressed her face and let out a satisfied sigh while basking in the afterglow of the sun marking the end of the day. 
With the rays of the colourful sunset dying her white dress and making her platinum blonde hair highlighted with silver seem to have a touch of rose gold and the colours of flowers of different varieties as her backdrop, Penny appeared to be iridescent and ethereal. At least that's what Cy thought when he walked into balcony.
It was dinnertime and ever since they moved here two years ago, it was a ritual for them to eat together, so he was looking for her. But he didn't expect her to be standing there looking extremely beautiful. Going into dreamland, he imagined himself walking up to her, placing his palm on her waist to pull her towards himself and hugging her from behind before placing light kisses on her hair, both her shoulders, cheeks and last of all her .......
His imagination was cut off by Penny's beautiful voice, "Why are you just standing there Cy? It's been almost 5 minutes" she said with her eyes still closed and her back facing Cy.
Breaking out of his reverie, Cy smiled and walked towards Penny before also leaning on the guardrail, "Why aren't you coming in for dinner?", he asked while looking at the setting sun and the beautiful scenery it created with its lustrous colours.
Opening her eyes, Penny asked,"Is that all?"
"What?", asked Cy confused.
"Standing there for close to 5 minutes, is that all you wanted to ask or.....tell me?", Penny asked before turning towards Cy with a smile on her face.
Cy wished Penny didn't turn to look at him as he almost blurted out his innermost thoughts when he saw her light blue eyes mixed with a hint of black at the iris, petite nose and her irresistible smile. Her eyes which appeared to reflect the colours of the flowers and sunset made him wonder if she had sectoral heterochromia. Taking deep breaths Cy reminded himself not to have fantasies about Penny for the nth time while repeating, 'She's like your sister!' severally in his mind, totally shutting the voice that kept telling him, 'Well, she's not your biological sister!'.
When he saw Penny raising her eyebrows inquisitively, Cy hurriedly straightened up.
"Uh… I… I..I was just…not…expecting you to be..so beautiful...I mean to be..here! I just wanted to remind you to come pretty, I mean…eat! " said Cy while raising his hand to scratch his silky brown hair.
Looking at Cy still stammering and falling over his words as usual, Penny chuckled before linking her arm with his and looking him in the eye, "Come on, let's go." she said making Cy seem like he was electrocuted. Seeing his shocked look, Penny chuckled one more time before pulling him back into the villa and towards the dining room while Cy's line of sight remained on their linked arms.
At the dining table, Avi was setting the last of the dishes when she heard footsteps and looked up to meet Penny's gentle smile and Cy's shocked face. Raising her eyebrows, Avi cleared her throat while giving Cy a knowing smile which made him quickly unlink his arms from Penny. Coughing to hide his embarrassment, Cy made his way to the kitchen to wash his hands…again but the little tinge of red on his ears did not escape Avi's sight which made her smile brighter.
'Like your little sister my foot', she thought.
Looking at the table covered with plates filled with lasagna, lamb chops, Italian pasta, chicken curry, casserole, chicken roast, macaroni and cheese, braised pork and a chocolate cheesecake sitting right in the middle of it all, Penny and Timmy gulped noisily.
"They smell wonderful Avi!", Penny exclaimed before quickly sitting to reach for the lasagna.
"Have I ever told you how much I love your cooking, Avi?", Timmy asked while also reaching to take a piece of the lamb chops. 
However, .....
'PAH' 'PAH'
Avi hit the back of their hands mercilessly before they could even reach the plates.
"Ouch!", they both yelled.
"Thank you, Penny and Yes you have Timmy, severally", Avi said replying to both their remarks.
"Now, go wash your hands!", she continued. Just then Cy walked out of the kitchen. "Look at Cy, he's washed his hands twice this evening and still he washed it again just now but you, you won't even clean yourselves properly before you eat! Now, Get up and go wash those hands!"
"Yes mum", Timmy replied sarcastically before heading to the kitchen while Penny glanced at Cy before going after Timmy.
When Cy had another eye contact with Penny and almost hit his foot on the chair that was right in front of him, Avi chuckled earning Cy's glare.
"So, 'Penny's older brother', why have you been stuttering and stumbling a lot lately, especially when Penny's around you?", Avi asked rather sarcastically while making air quotes with her fingers when she said 'older brother'.
"I don't know what you are talking about", Cy said before looking elsewhere guiltily. 
"Oh, I just thought that since you take Penny as your 'younger sister' you'd be more 'comfortable' around her", Avi replied, still making air quotes. She still remembered how Cy lashed out at her when she asked him this question a year ago, not believing his sermon about how much he cares for her as an older brother, she began to observe him where she realized that his words and his actions were totally different. An example is what happened earlier that day, who'd blush when making eye contact with their 'younger sister'?, so she decided to tease him a bit.
"Avika Iris Dawson!, you....", Cy who was about to bite back, kept quiet when Penny and Timmy returned and sat at the table. Glaring at Avi one last time who stuck her tongue out to him, he made his way to the chair beside Timmy and opposite Penny but Avi quickly and 'unintentionally' sat beside Timmy. "OMO, did you want to sit here?, I really didn't know but you could sit beside Penny though, you don't mind right?", Avi said cheekily.
"Yeah, come sit here Cy at least I can have some peace and quiet for once today." Penny said tapping the chair beside her before giving Avi an exasperated look. 
Cy:"....."
Hence, dinner began with Cy 'reluctantly' sitting beside Penny but his little cheeky smile didn't escape Avi's eagle eyes.

Jack POV

"The meadow was enameled with sodden dew as the Gaillardias rustled gently in the breeze. A narrow pellucid brook flowed calmly adjacently to the Gaillardias while the crusty trout swam swiftly in it. Tall lilac plant swayed flexibly as I ran pass through them, the air felt exuberating as I circled the huge green meadow. This feeling was just liberating and peaceful that I hoped it would be the only thing which would stay with me forever. I was too engrossed in those beauties of the nature that I completely ignored my dad.

My dad looked peaceful sitting on the mat that he laid beneath the large oak tree, Peanut butter sandwich, cookies, cakes and orange juice scattered in front of him, it was an alluring scenario. My dad was totally engrossed in one of his books on organic chemistry that he failed to feel the soft tab on his shoulder. I was envious to the book for grabbing all the attention to itself and not leaving an ounce for me.  I quickly snatched away the book from his grip and put out my tongue and ran around the tree playfully. 

My dad gave a hearty laugh as he pretended to be tried of chasing me; those were the best days of my youth. He faked being in pain as he pretended to hold his chest and breathe deeply as he rested his head on the soft grass and closed his eyes. I was too young to notice his fake acting that at that time I really thought he was hurt. I ran fast towards him praying that nothing would happen to him, I slowly nudged his shirt but he was motionless until he surprised me by tickling my stomach. I couldn't hold the tickling as I laughed my guts out shouting for him to stop, I begged him between my laughter and admitted my lost until he stopped and held me on his lap. I was really curious to know what made the book so interesting that held his face glued to it for most of the day, he smiled and showed me a page about the reaction and it was that time I became aware of this trick,"

Sam focused on the road so to prevent any accident to happen and as of me I gazed outside wondering about all things that has been happening around lately. I knew Sam wanted to ask him everything especially about those magical things that happened and I respect his curiosity too but I couldn't bring myself to pour everything about the events to him.  I was also ignorant about the trick and I thought that dot painting was useless until those dim lights from the lamp enlightened my brain and made me realize everything. The most alluring thing about this trick was the tracing in the painting and I must say it was really opulent. After tons of thoughts and consideration on the painting, it finally led us to this museum.

The museum was indeed spacious and spectacular, everything was luxurious and majestic. And all those gossip about the grand museum was indeed true. Even though we were aware that the museum will be closed for the day and it would be illegal to trespass after working hour, still then we climbed over the high wall and entered through the back door.

Sam instructed me to go towards the right wing and like an obedient child I agreed to his command considering how capable he is judging from the knowledge of being with him for the pass 3 days. I was off to the right wing admiring everything, those painting were just amazing as it transcendently adorned the wall and brought the exhibiting vibe around this place. I scanned every painting on my way and observed them swiftly without wasting much of the time. 

I was walking right at the corner of a painting when I saw monumental object right in front of me. I was fascinated and amazed that I found myself admiring its beguiling structure and artistic form that I someone forgot to inform Sam about it. I quickly regained my mind and contacted him through the walkie talkie. The painting was massive as it hung majestically from the wall and the color in the painting perfectly complemented each other that it was a wonder how the painter was able to make it come alive.

The painting was looked pretty large and amazing, but the cream of that painting was the name "Ophelia," clearly written beneath it. This name made me flashback to that day when Mrs. Patterson sheltered me when I was badly bruised. And I could clearly remember that the painting in her house that hung right at the corner of her stair was indeed of Ophelia. Not only that my dad had this painting of Hamlet and embracing Ophelia which could mean something. At one point I thought this girl in the painting could be Ophelia but when I clearly accessed the painting the girl looked more seductive and it contradicted to the pure and calm Ophelia of Hamlet. It was suspicious and mysterious.

A quote stood right beneath the name and this added more mystery to the painting. I recited the quote for the hundred times in mind until I remembered that particular phrases I read in the book Hamlet, " A ministering angel shall my sister be," it was that exact  phrase in the play when Laertes said to himself remembering his sister Ophelia, which actually meant that he would serve and love his sister under any circumstances. 

I was considering every possible connection that the painting and its quotes could have with the kidnapping but to my disappointment nothing weave together to give me a perfect picture. I tried really hard to flashback to that time when I discovered the mysterious key, I still remember finding the portrait and the key beneath it but there was nothing much skeptical. 

I focused again and recreated my dad study room in mind and to my astonishment there was indeed some vague image projected in my mind about this quote and from what I feel, I think I saw it written in a small font and placed securely in that shelf near the portrait. It was indeed amazing how our sub conscious mind could render help when in need. But one thing really didn't patch up with any information I could think of because it felt too unnatural to find the quotes and portrait in my dad's room unless they already knew before and faked my adoption story.

Sam seemed to always remind me how his aunt loved painting and what most astonishing was that her name was Ophelia too so those information really felt like those puzzle which took time to create but once you get the hold of it, it connected automatically. So from what I concluded Ophelia was indeed my mother and after her disappearance I might have been adopted. But one thing was sure that this painting before me was indeed her work.

One might not feel the pain and hurt hidden beneath me and I won't blame anyone for not understanding me. Remembering those thunderous nights when I craved for warm embrace that would protect me from those scary sound and those times when I saw children's walking with their parents in the park, it made me miss my biological parents more. I would cry silently and pray for their return, not only that I would swear to god that if they came back to me I would learn to be a better boy. Without anyone to support you while growing, I was emotionally and physically drained until adoptive parents came for the rescue. Even though I was showered with love and care there was still some void that needed the presence of my biological mother to fill it.

I have battled myself for a long time and persuaded myself to believe that I needed no one to survive and it was until now I find information about her, she caused havoc within me. And mostly importantly my adoptive dad had more to say something on this story but to my unfortunate they were no more. To add more salt to my wound my mom was already dead and this painting was the only proof of her existence. Sam softly patted on my shoulder and I was really grateful for the mere kind action.

I held the miniature painting and slowly placed in the right hand of the girl and the painting started to drift slowly to reveal a safe behind it. The safe was small and it was finger print password protected. We thought we escaped an obstacle yet we were faced with another. It was quite worrying to be exact because we felt that we were nearing to our goal but we were once again to square one. I was not sure what happened to me but something inside urged me to place my finger on that safe and to our surprise the safe opened.

I was stupefied for a while trying to gauged everything in front me. For all my life I lived believing that they have forgotten me and will never come back for me. I have learnt to move one and forget them but it was my lack of trust and foolishness which underestimated their love for me. They still remembered me and not only that I was the key to everything they were trying to hide. My parents really loved me and I was a coward for not trusting them. Even though Sam gave me that will letter, that stated I might be the potential heir of his empire but I doubted there love for me and I was too wrong misjudge them for they loved me dearly. 

This realization hit me too hard that I found myself bathing in tears, I just couldn't stop it. I thought they hated me for leaving me there all alone in that lone orphanage and I believed their promise to come back was just a mere façade but it was not. Their love was genuine and it was warming everything inside me. They had always been looking after me and it was just me blaming them without any hesitance. I cried aloud when Sam stopped me and I knew I had someone alive and important to protect.

 I had made mistakes and this mistake has cost me all my happiness during my prime age. I knew my parents wanted best of me that they gave everything to me and I really had to do something to prove their trust. I calmed myself and took out the small diary from the safe and exited the museum with a content expression.

"Even before I could go near him, I felt his hand on my waist. His skin was as cold as ice and it sent shiver down my spine. There was hint of admiration and love in his eyes and it really confused me. I felt that he liked me but that thought was totally absurd. His pinkish lips raised, it made my legs give away. I felt his hand tighten around my waist and slowly engulfing me in a tight hug."

Ryu stared at the life size ancient painting of a king and a queen, clad n in a formal traditional historical attire, hung on the wall in a golden frame before his eyes as he murmured, "A ruler who stood his stand of marrying only one woman. Isn't he impressive? A lot of rulers had many concubines or wives in those times..."
Ryu heard a crispy laugh beside him with comments, "Aren't you proud to be a descendant of a legendary ruler? The great Yao Yuren…"
Ryu was at the Museum where their family ancestors artifacts and collections were displayed. Ryu looked at Liam and said, "Are you proud Bro? By the way thanks a lot for helping Big Bro Shawn in his case. As expected, it's just a piece of cake for you."
"Nah, it's nothing. But I was shocked to find out that I have one more cousin but it's great that the secret was spilled out and we have one more addition to the descendants for the Legendary Yuren Yao." replied Liam with a smile.
Liam Sy, was Ryu's cousin from his mother's side.. He was a well known Lawyer and the best in the league.
After all that happened with Ken Family, they remained quiet for some time and arranged various things discreetly. When Ryu woke up from coma, Arya told him that Liam had helped his brother Shawn and grandfather with the family's legal matters after everything that happened, including the formal announcement of Shawn's identity as a Ken and to legally add him to be a part of the Ken Family. Liam also handled all Shawn's cases and got all judgements in favour, including the ones with his involvement in the underworld, in one swift motion of success.
"Well of course I am proud. Our Yuren was a sage-Prince and had became the Emperor with high morals and intelligence. I'm more like him don't you think? Except I rule inside the courtroom and not a country I guess." Liam boastfully said grinning.
Then his expression changed and became serious when his eyes shifted at the woman beside Emperor Yao Yuren and said, "Empress Wei Xianyi though is very lucky to find a loyal husband like him. These days, it is rare to find a loyal partner I guess..."
"Are you still such a woman hater? For goodness sake Liam… Stop sulking. Life is short so better live it to the fullest dear cousin," Ryu exclaimed with a tap on Liam's shoulder.
"You did hate your wife once too right?" Liam mumbled. Ryu chuckled and said, "Well, that was why it is said that there's a very thin line between hate and love, Liam, and at the end people will always choose to be on the side where there is love on that line because love always overpowers hate. Even me, as soon as I saw Arya again, the love in my heart conquered all my hate and I am happily married with Arya waiting for our child to be born."
Liam's face crumpled as he complained, "Oh no! You lovestruck people! You are all the same. Sorry but I'm happy and contented with my life alone. Why would I need complications in my life? No thanks Bro! I'll go ahead before I vomit hearing lovestruck quotes from you…"
Liam's words made Ryu burst out in laughter. "Hmm, alright you take care and I will wait for the day when I will see you eat those words of yours Liam!" he shouted at Liam's back still laughing while the latter ignored him and raised his hand to back wave goodbye.
He smiled ear to ear seeing Arya, walking towards him with her big stomach supported by her one hand. "Let's go love?" he said smiling and Arya nodded. "What is that series again he has been doing, that Author?" asked Ryu as his eyes shifted at the man who approached Arya, about the interview he was doing.
The man who introduced himself as Gavin Wu recognized Arya Tan who made a big name in the entertainment industry as a newcomer and with a quite impressive story which she had announced to the whole world live.... 
Ryu recognized the man who was the news anchor at Cooper Network and also the Author of the bestseller inspirational books worldwide. 
"He is doing a romance book for the first time. It's a "Hate & Love Series" he said. He will write our story and have it titled The CEO Who Hates Me." Arya laughed as she added, "I suggested that title love. Haha Don't you like it?"
"Ouch.." Arya suddenly cried out as she held her stomach.
Ryu's eyes widened as worry crossed his face, "What is it love?"
"The baby… I think it's time, he wants to come out already…" Arya murmured panting. Ryu moved quickly and rushed her at Yang Hospital…
At the Ken Mansion, Old Master Ken who received Ryu's call was too excited as he shouted at Butler Omni, "Faster you Old Maid. I'm too excited to see my great grandson. Ryu said that Arya had a normal and safe delivery. Why are you moving so slow! Let's go!"
"I'm coming Master!" Butler Omni answered as he scratched his head and ran outside the main door of the Ken Mansion where Oldr Master Ken was already waiting...

Arya Tan made a reckless decision because of a desperate situation. She had to disappear from his sight to save her loved ones. In return, she vowed to repay the debt she owed him if they were to meet again.

Ryu Ken gave his heart to only one woman.
But that woman left, broke his heart and hurt him. So, he vowed to find her, despite how long it would take. He would give her the punishment she deserved.

======
Excerpt:

"Leaving already? You seem to be in such a rush to talk to me. Why don't you spill it out now?"

Stunned, Arya wondered if she was hallucinating. The voice was very familiar. Her mind was spinning; she thought he sounded like Ryu. Then it occurred to her that the anger she was feeling might just clouding her judgment.

She abruptly shook her head and declared, "It's okay, I can wait outside. Dress first and let's talk after that. Call the reception once you are ready."

She heard the man chuckle as if amused, a familiar sound that made her turned around. She gasped when she almost bumped into a man's wet chest.

"Um sorry, you sound familiar." She said slightly, bowing her head to hide her flushed face.

She felt the man's arm encircled her waist while she was abruptly pulled towards him.

He then leaned forward and scornfully whispered into her ear, "Aren't you here to negotiate? I was hoping you had a better offer."

Arya frowned and abruptly pushed the man, attempting to get away from him. Instead, she was pushed back until she could feel her back pinned against the wall.

She tilted her head to look up at the rude man and was left with open-mouthed looking at a familiar face.

She was shocked but mumbled, "Ryu?"

Ryu smirked and stared at Arya's slightly opened lips and said, "Did you miss me? How about this?"

Before Arya can utter another word, Ryu captured her lips abruptly and kissed her roughly.

Arya felt the familiar lips that were deeply probing hers. It was the familiar conquering lips that, for six months, she had missed terribly.

The kiss that made her legs weak. They trembled slightly. Butterflies fluttered from her throat down to her stomach, sending a shiver through her core.

This was the kiss she had been longing for her entire life.
