"What?" Aaron looks at everyone while scrunching his eyebrows.
"Man! Don't tell me, you're a waiter before?" Joe breaks the silence.
"Uhh...I don't think so, mate." he shakes his head.
"Then, what are you?" Nigel asks making Akiko raise her hand.
"I know, I know. He must be a superhero. He had nice abs and pecks when we found him, and not only that, he can cook and his movement is smooth and fast."
".…." Aaron just chuckled and continue to eat his dinner. Its amusing him to see how worked up all of them to guess who he is.
"Oh, Akiko..you hurt me. Am I not man enough to you?" he replied with a hint of sulking.
Chase takes the slice of carrot on his plate and puts it on Joe's plate making him more irritated.
"Damn you Chase!"
'What?' he raise his eyebrows, he did not say anything, but his face clearly mocking Joe.
"You're telling me I'm skinny?" Joe narrowed his eyes to Chase.
"Dude, stop fighting. Just eat your portion and gain more weight. And Akiko..don't leave him just because he's skinny. Have mercy on him please." Nigel said to her making Akiko nod and giggle.
Joe grunt and continue eating his portion. While all Loula and Hazel clearly not interesting in jumping into their conversation. They both eat their dinner and just ignoring them.
...
Next morning,
Hazel walks into his room, doing the same daily routine checking on him.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a bit?" Aaron asked.
"Hm? Yeah, sure. About what?" she takes a seat beside him.
"I think, I am already in good condition now. I feel much better than when I wake up last time. So, I want to discharge from here and I want to start to find my identity back. Could you discharge me tomorrow?"
"Sure. I'll prepare treatment for your bill, is it okay?"
"Yeah..thanks.."
She walks out of the room after putting the record back on the counter next to Aaron's bed. After a few minutes, he suddenly remembers something. Something important.
'Wait! I don't even know my name, how am I supposed to know my account number? My wallet? I don't even have a shirt! Shit! How am I gonna pay?'
Not long after, Hazel walks back to the room and pass to him his treatment bill. The file she giving him is a bit thick. Not having a choice, he took the file from her hands gently.
When flipping the front page, he feels like his eyes want to pop out from its socket.
"T-Thi...This is the amount?" he stammered a little. His eyes still fixed on the zeros number.
"Yeah."
"B-But..isn't it too much?"
"Really? No..it's my standard price. In fact, I give you a thirty percent discount. You stay at my little hospital for around fourteen months now. Of course, the bill will be high, Mr. Aaron." she replied casually.
"This is 5 million dollars we talk about here, honey. Even with one million dollars, I still can't afford to pay you."
"Hmm.. too bad, I can't negotiate about the price either. We are not any normal doctors who work on the usual shift like in a hospital, Mr. Aaron. Our price and service are the highest in this country. We took care of you 24/7 without any help from nurses here. And, oh, don't honey me. I'm not your honey."
'Shit!'
Squinting his eyes, he said again.
"Hmm, is that so?"
"Yup."
"But, hey.. who asked you to save my life in the first place? Did I asked you to save me?"
Hazel looks at his face with a confused look.
"Who volunteers to help me back then? Err, if I'm not wrong you said you found me on the sea right? But as far as I know, this place is totally not in Japan. Meaning, you can be charged as kidnapping me. Treat me without my acknowledgment and hey, where did you get me a passport?"
"Wait, I treat you here. Giving my best medicine to heal you and now you want to blame it on me?" Hazel already start burning inside.
"Ms. Hazel.. don't get me wrong here. I will still pay you. But I want you to list down every medicine and every minute I use your equipment. I will pay accordingly to it, and for your time taking care of me and feed me with nutritious food, that is what you have to pay for breaking the law."
"What?"
"You heard me, Ms. Hazel."
"You..son of bitch!" she roars and stomps away from the room.
'Fuhhh…I can dodge her for now, but how am I gonna find her money in the future?'
Aaron walkout from the isolation room and strolled over to the living hall where is Chase and Joe were enjoying playing a video game there.He slouched on the couch and watch both of them playing the game. Chase notice his gaze and he handed his game console to him."Wanna play?" he asks.Looking down at the game console, he nods. "Yeah, let me try this stage."Lifting up his eyebrow, Chase shifts his sit from the floor to the couch, and Aaron changes from couch to the floor.Joe looks at two of them."Ready Aaron?" he snickers."Yeah.""I'll be gentle on you. Since this might be your first time playing this game." He said arrogantly."Mhm? Don't be too kind, Joe. Use all you got." Aaron also smirking looking at his face."Alright.." he pushes the start button....A few minutes later,Joe leaning his head back at the couch cushion with a defeat expres
She slips her hair behind her ear when the wind brushes her face. She looks at the fall leaves near her as she sits at the bus stop bench waiting for the bus to come over.She put the earphone on her ear and play her playlist on her iPod. Listening to the song, she starts remembering the blue eyes men she met before at the cafe.He was tall with a great shape of the body. Not a bulge one, but it was the one that will imprint to each woman's eyes once they saw his figure.His blonde hair and perfect jaw were so alluring. His eyes..is blue like sapphire and he gives an aristocratic vibe around him.Honking sound made her jolt her body a bit. She looks at the bus which already stops in front of the bus stop, she then stands up from the bench and steps inside the bus.After 15 minutes ride, she steps out from the bus and walks to her apartment."Hi Vi, just got back from your work?" a man who is her neighbor asks her before she twi
After having dinner, the four of them return back to the Sun House.Joe joins Akiko and Loula watching some drama series on the television while Nigel returns back to his room.Aaron went back to his isolation room and resting. While Chase took a bath and change his attire before he walks to Hazel's wing and knocks on her room door.After a few moments, Hazel open the door."What's the matter Chase?" she asks."Can we talk?""Sure. Come in." she pulls the door to widely open it.Walk inside her room, he takes a sit on the single chair facing her."We bros agree to let Aaron stay at this house.""Okay..so?""He needs a room.""Mhm..""And there is only one room left.""No, he can't.""Hazel..it's been years... let it go..will you?"Hazel shook her head making Chase stand up and look at her face."Move on Hazel.. you said you hate him, but you never let h
"Do you remember Asher?" Chase asked him. He knew Aaron already met this little boy last time.He nods. "Yeah.""He is… Hazel's fiance child." Said Joe."Oh, so, Asher is their child." Aaron nods again, not knowing why Joe suddenly said about their child."No. It's not Hazel's. It's his 'bastard' child. He had an affair or another girlfriend aside Hazel." Joe correcting him."What?" Aaron dumbfounds a moment."I know you wouldn't believe it either. So we run the DNA test on that child, it is a 99% match with his.""Whoa..that's too much for her.""Ever since that, people always talk bad about him. But I believe there must be a reason for him to do so. He's not the person who will hurt her. He loves her so much." Chase look at the floor blankly."What happened to him? I mean, they can still reconcile and be together right?""How do you plan to reconcile with someone who's already gone?
Chase takes his cup and sits at the table around the corner of the cafe. He put his sling bag on the seat and take out his book.Violet secretly peeking at him when she had a chance. Her action was caught by Poppy, her manager."He's handsome isn't he?" she looked at the way as Poppy's eyes do."Huh?" Violet immediately turned her eyes to her manager back."He's a regular customer. But, it's been months since last he visited here. I thought he might be already moving out to another city." she smiles and touches her shoulder signaling there is a customer at the counter.Not asking anymore, Violet continues her work as her manager, Poppy went back to the kitchen....After a whole day practicing and doing some exercise to built back his figure, Aaron walks into the bathroom to take his shower. His body is sweating so much.Standing under the shower, he closed his eyes. He keeps remembering the dream th
Chase looks at his wristwatch after almost the whole day he spends his time at the cafe. It's already 9.45 PM.'It's already this late?' he thought. He then shoves his book inside his bag and leaves the cafe.When he wants to cross the road, he suddenly remembers something. He then takes a seat at the bench near the cafe and crossing his hand around his chest. He waits...."Violet, don't forget to close the door once you finish cleaning," Poppy said as she walkout from the cafe.Violet nodded and continue her job to clean the cafe first. After she's done, she takes off her apron and wear her long cardigan and puts her beanie hat on her head.Retrieve her bag, she locks the cafe and activates the security door before she starts to walk on the sidewalk. After 5 minutes of walking, she turned her head around when she feels like someone was following her from behind.She squinted her eyes when she saw it was a man
In the middle of the night, like always, Aaron wakes up because of his dream. He tries to close his eyes again. Today, he is so tired and had no mood to get up from the bed.After a few minutes, Hazel walk inside his room."Oh no, no... I'm tired today. Go back to your room, Hazel." He said while looking toward her.'Damn! This girl seriously needs some mental therapy.' He grunts inside his heart.Without any reply, she lay down on the bed and start to cry. She clenches her finger on the comforter and grits her teeth like she was holding her tears.Seeing her broken side, Aaron's face turns soft and a weird feeling slowly emerges in his heart. He turned his body around and facing her.He then brings her body closer to him and patted on her back softly."There, there. Don't cry. Everything will be alright." He tries to calm her down, but she unconsciously snugs into his embrace. Using his arm as her pillow,
They walk inside the mall and buy a few things. When Hazel's eyes met with the Urban Decay boutique signboard, she stops her pace."I need to buy something. Stay here." she signaling both of them to wait for her outside the boutique.Aaron nods his head. He thought that Hazel will take a short time to buy her things, but he was wrong.He waits outside for more than 30 minutes. Asher also starts to show a boring look."Uncle, what did mommy buy until it takes a long time to wait?" Asher asks him.Sighing, he squatted down in front of him to level their eyes."Hmmm..let's say your mother found her favorite cave. If you grew up later, avoid this area. Especially when they have sales. Got it?" he winks his eyes to him."Huh? Which area?" Asher rubs his chin while looking around them."Makeup area. Or you will end up like this. Look, so many men waiting for their girlfriend or family outside the 'cave' just li
Somewhere in a hidden valley,"Master, this is the latest that we have?" A man with a suit, bow a little before he handed the file in his hand to the old man sitting at the big throne-like seat in the huge hall.Take the file, he flips it open. He takes a look at the content and grinning evilly."So, that child has been gone for training with Grim Reaper?" the old man said.A man from before nodded and reply "Yes.""Hmph...Let him learn and grow with that man. Once he turns adult, I gonna take back what's was mine..and of course, I will kill his master too or anyone who stops me." He stops for while.He took out a necklace from his suit and stare at it."He once takes my love and made her die because of the mission. He even let her bear his bastard child. And now? What a fate, that he needs to train my descendant. If you think I will turn out to be like Rong, you were wrong Grim. Let's live for a few years more to see ho
Nigel stands at the side of the garden, he needs to be a mascot for the children. When he saw Loula arrived, he was dumbstruck for a moment. He missed her so much but, he can't get close to her. Not at this moment.After the matrimony finished, they move to the grand marquee tent and have a buffet. All the team takes a round table that has been reserved for all the house members.Chase and Jerry make a toast to all the guests and they start to enjoy the party. Nigel was temporarily cast aside from the group with the children and bring a lot of balloons. Only one balloon remains on his hand.He walks over to the table and offers Loula a dance and the balloon. Loula didn't know who is that man is, so she was surprised by the invitation she got. She turns to look at Hazel and Akiko. Both of them shrugged their shoulder."Go on." Akiko sends her away with her hand waved to Loula.Aaron takes Hazel's hand and they went to the dance floor.
On the graduation day, Violet's mother and brother come with Chase's family. They also want to celebrate her important day as her family.Violet was awarded as the best student with the highest score in the exam and she also won a robotic competition last month in the first place. She gives her speech on the stage facing all other students and families that come to celebrate their daughter's graduation day.She tells the story about how she managed to come out from her dark days when she was in the middle of the exam period. She also mentioned the person who keeps supporting her from behind and thanks to all the individuals that help her during her worst time.After done with her graduation ceremony, Chase brings her to the candlelight dinner before he brings her to the National Amusement park in the middle of the City.He told her that they will only have dinner to celebrate her, but actually, after dinner, he wants to propose her.A
Loula startles at his confession. She then sits up straight and clenches her finger on the table cloth slowly. Tried to find some courage inside her heart."Listen, I really appreciate the feeling you have for me. I do, but, Jake.."She lowered her head and stare at the table before she continues again."I love someone else. That love seems still lingering in my heart. To love someone else right now is impossible for me. I really am sorry, Jake." She wants to stand up but immediately Jake holds her hand makes her stop for a bit."That's okay if you don't love me back. Please.. sit down and have dinner with me. At least as a friend?" he said tried to make it less awkward between them.Loula is taken aback, she then sits down and has a light dinner with him. Not like always when they always had dinner together. This time they are more silent than ever.After having dinner, Loula went to her hotel room and take a rest. She takes h
After dinner, Chase brings two glass of champagne with him and passes one of the glass to Violet. They both sit on the couch and watching some movies on the flat-screen television.Like always, Chase leaning his back at the couch, and Violet will sit in between his leg and leaned her body to him. Use him like he was her pillow.While Violet was focusing on watching the movies, Chase takes out the necklace box he bought earlier and put on the necklace onto her neck.Violet flinch a bit when she feels something cold lay on her neck. She immediately touches that thing and lowered her head before she turns to look at him."What is this?" She asks."It is a gift that I think suits you the best." He smiles.Violet sits up and looks at the design. "It's Cartier! How much is this?" She almost screams when seeing the symbol."Don't ask."She squinted her eyes and look at him again. "Why are you gifting me this?""Be
"Chase! Look! Look! There are mountains covered with snow. Even though we're in the middle of autumn right now." Violet was so excited seeing the view from the plane's window.They went there by Chase's private jet from Arendell. Seeing her happy face makes him happy too."Beautiful, isn't it?" he also looks at the same mountain as she refers to."I heard that Aspen is one of the most places for celebrities to come for snowboarding and skiing." She said again making Chase smile slightly."Yeah. I've heard about it too.""Hmmm…but we're not coming in the winter season.""If you want, we can come here again in winter."Violet turned to look at him. "No, no, no, no...I don't mean like that. I mean, I glad that I am able to come here."Leaning closer to her, he kisses Violet's lips. "Vi, you're my girlfriend. So you deserve to get anything you want from me. Just tell me, and I bring it to you."Violet bl
After taking a bath and change clothes, Loula sits on the rattan swing in front of Jake's house. His house is not too big. But it's cozy and comfortable.Jake went out and give her a cup of glass fill with warm milk to her.Looking at the glass, she giggles. "What do you think I am? 5 years old?"Jake also chuckles. "No, but you drink almost two bottles of wine for today, so at least you need something warm to keep you sober."Take the glass, she thanked him."So, what are your plans after this?" Jake asks while leaning on the wall looking at the road."I don't know. I need to talk with my superior first. She will be back from Lu island tomorrow. So maybe for the time being I will stay at the hotel. Like you said, maybe I should change my way of 'moving on'." She finishes her milk and went inside after that.She will be sleeping at the guest room that Jake already prepared for her.Lock the door, she lies
"Don't touch her!" Nigel jerking out, while Loula immediately helps Jake to stand up. Jake wipes the corner of his lips."Nigel! What the hell are you thinking?" Loula yelled at him furiously."What am I thinking? What the hell are you doing?" He also in rage.Sydney behind them startles when seeing Nigel was so furious right now."Get the fuck off from my private life, you jerk! You already had your woman, why you need to ruin my life too?" She grabs his collar.Jake startle while all the guests gasp when seeing Loula was daring enough to fight with a man."Ruin your life?! When did I do that? I'm trying to protect you! You were so dumb whenever it comes to a man, I just try to-"Pap!She slaps him on his face making him grit his teeth."Me, dumb?! What about you?! Accepting back your whore when you caught her in the middle of having sex with other men in front of your own eyes?? She even put you in jail!
They arrive at Loula's uncle at around 4 o'clock. Stretching her body a little from the back passenger seat, she yawned."Ah~ finally! Let's go." She opens the car door and brushes her dress. Nigel and Jake also get off from the car before both of them follow her from behind.Jake wearing a black suit with a pink shirt inside. Both of the men wear something that matches with Loula's attire. The air surrounds them was so intense that people could notice it.Loula led them two to the back yard of her uncle's house. They held a wedding party at the house back yard. Most of the guests that attending today is Loula's family and their neighbors."Loula!" Brenda, her cousin hugs her before she diverts her eyes toward two-man beside Loula.One is the handsome looking guy and the other one with the top knot hair and muscular body guy. Both of them smile at her politely."Oh, this is my friend, Nigel, and Jake." She introduces both of th
