"What ? Haha don't make me laugh . Do you really think I'm not strong enough to defeat him ? Seriously ? Do you think all these years I just passed time doing nothing ? You are wrong ! I'm beyond his reach now. Besides you are not just a bait I want you to be a part of my life . Because you are one of us . Don't you realise ?"
"What nonsense ? I would never do that ! You are just out of your mind . Also Zen is lot stronger than you can imagine him to be .It's better you give up . I can't believe you are wasting our time! "
"Hehe he heh. .. waste You think it's a waste haan? If not for your hair I would have killed you right now ?" His voice was changed . He was rough . He held Alisha's cheeks tightly with his hand and gave a creeping grin . Alisha was scared . She couldn't look at him anymore Her face dropped. Erwin turned back to leave .
*************
"I know I want him to come but I don't want him getting hurt because of me . Why am I so weak ? I hate myself . I hope you don't come Zen " Tears dripped down and wetted her face but before it could drop on the ground the door opened and she could sense him . It was Zen . That night she hated herself even more because the look on Zen's face was horrible. He probably pitied himself and blamed for Alisha's condition . He came upto her and sliced the ropes binding her frail body . He felt pathetic .
"Are you hurt ?" He held her firmly
"No .. I'm okay but ... Why did you come ?"
"What ? Are you stupid ? How could you ask something like that ? Ofcourse I came to....."
"He will kill you ! ... He is mad ... I don't want you ..to.."
"You think I'll die ?" He said raising her chin .
"No . I always give you trouble . It happened because of me ..I'm. ..I'm sorry Zen " He held her in his arms .
"As long as I'm alive I won't let anything harm you . You were dragged into this because of me . So don't cry . You will stay by my side right ? " She nodded .
"So just do your job as my wife . I haven't chosen a weak woman have I ? " Alisha shaked her head .
"I'll protect you Zen. I'll support you . " He smiled.
