Ryu was sleepless all night. He can’t decide whether to tell Arya or not that his team had lost track of her mother and sister.
Chen had reported yesterday that they failed to follow the van where Arya’s mom and sister got on.
Everything happened so fast according to the team leader assigned to monitor Arya’s mom and sister. The next thing their group knew was vans with the same brands, models and colors suddenly appeared at site blocking them from tailing the van where Arya’s mom and sister were boarded.
He was going crazy already at the thought of the bold person to do this to him. He was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.
Butler Omni who was observing him from a distance can only sighed and pitied his child for experiencing such difficulty on this matter.
’Should I make a move and report this matter to Head Master Ken?’ he thought inwardly. He was contemplating about it for some time now. He knew Chen already suggested it but Ryu refused to do so out of his sheer pride.
-----
Ryu was up early the next day since he hasn’t even had a proper sleep anyways.
Today, he had promised Arya that they will attend the last trial of her dad and right after they will register their marriage.
There are so many things to do and his face can’t hide his troubles.
He was getting impatient. How come there’s still no lead up to now, how can he protect Arya and her family if that continues.
"Sir the helicopter was ready." Chen said that disrupted his thoughts.
Ryu sighed and walked towards their room to get Arya.
He saw Arya inside staring at her mobile phone. "Are you ready?" he asked idly.
Arya nodded and stood up quickly. Ryu quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her to his arms for a hug.
"Don’t do anything stupid, okay? I’m always beside you and I am trying really hard to solve this problem as fast as I could." Ryu said with his persuading voice.
Arya sighed deeply. She knew Ryu was doing his best to help her out.
However, there were things that were just beyond his power.
She had assessed the situation very hard last night. Ryu failed without his knowing. Her family were already at Rita’s hand.
So if she had to choose between the safety of her family and hurting Ryu’s heart – without a second thought she will now choose to hurt him.
No one could replace her family for her not even Ryu, their lives were at stake here compared to Ryu’s heart. She was sure he could easily cope on it, everybody does. A broken heart can be healed but lost lives can’t be recovered.
Yes, she was thinking for the worst case scenario although she was not sure that Rita’s group was really capable on hurting people. But there was a big threat that she can’t just taken for granted.
She hugged Ryu back as tight as she could and smiled at him after she gently let herself out from the hug.
"Let’s go now," the only words she spoke before pulling him to walk with her on the way to the helipad.
They landed at Ryu’s top floor building. Arya wore shades and made sure that she walked with her head slightly bowed down while her long hair was covering her side views. The purpose was to hide her full view at the cctv cameras.
Ryu never let go of her hand and doesn’t care much of the shocked eyes from his employees they passed through; seeing their Boss had brought a woman in their building.
The shades and the hair was not enough to hide the beautiful face of Arya. Everyone can distinguish those well protruded perfect features including her body and posture. And they bet her eyes will be the same once that shades was removed.
Arya walked nervously making sure to hide her face from any cameras. Ryu was holding her firmly, still caring less with the people around them. Outside the building was a car with bodyguards waiting also and escorts that will lead them at the court of justice.
Inside the car, both of them were not saying a word. Ryu was feeling nervous while Arya was feeling burdened.
This time Arya suddenly snuggled herself to him.
"Everything will be fine." Ryu murmured while he gently kissed her forehead and gently stroke her hair.
