7 I'm sorry...

It was Saturday and my friend Rachael will be coming back from abroad. I was promised her before that I will pick her up at the airport.

But, as I know William and Rachael have something that not to be settle between them, I purposely didn't tell Rachael that I bring William to pick her up.

''Hello, Will? Where are you"

"I will be there soon."

"Okay, just come faster, Rachael will arrive in few minutes."

"Alright, I'm coming!"

I already at the airport and waiting for Rachael's flight arrival. And after a few minutes, I saw Rachael coming towards me. I do a hand wave to her. We were smiling at each other from far.

"Ara!!!"

"Chael!!"

Both of us were hugging each other. We are really glad to see each other after a few years.

"Ara, I miss you much dear. How are you? Is everything fine with you? How was your mom?"

"I'm fine and my mom is also fine, she just got her operations in a few days before. And I miss you too friend."

"You know, I can't wait to see you after so many years and I really miss our time when we hanging out together.''

"Don't worry, we will do all of that together later."

"Okay, you be my tour guide here."

We both chuckle after saying the things. Then, suddenly William appeared behind us.

"Hi! I hope I didn't late."

Rachael was a little surprised to see him there and meanwhile, I just stood there and looking both of them with a smirk.

"Oh, Will... Hi!" Rachael said

"Hi, how are you?" William said

''I'm good. You?''

''I'm good also.''

Both of them look a little anxious to see each other. Then, I trying to break the awkwardness from them.

"Ehem... actually, I have to go now because I have something to do. So, Will, I hope you can send Rachael back to her home first okay?" I deliberately saying that to give them a space to talk.

At the same time, I give a secret wink to William to let him do his actions. He just looking at me with a clueless face.

"Ara? Where are you going? Didn't you promise to send me back?" Rachael asks with bemusing.

"Chael, I'm sorry. I forgot that I have something to do at home and I need to visit my mom at the hospital later. She already waiting for me."

"I can go with you. I want to meet with aunty also."

"Chael, It's okay. I bring you there next time okay. After all, you must be tired and you just rest for today okay?"

Rachael just gives a sharp gaze at Ara.

"Chael, I have to go. We meet tomorrow okay? Bye, see you two later!" I quickly walk out from there and just left them there alone.

After that, William and Rachael were looking at each other with awkwardness.

"Err, actually I can take a grab car. I don't want to disturb your time."

"No, it's okay. I'm not working on the weekend. I can send you back home. Come, follow me.'' He said and casually take the luggage from her hands.

Rachael can't say anything and just follow him from the back.

Ara!! I will kill you when I meet you later. She was mumbling with herself. She knows that Ara must purposely do all of this.

Then, after I walk away from there, I decided just to going back. All of sudden, I feel that my stomach was in pain. I thought that I was eating the wrong food. I quickly go to find the toilet. After that, I just found the toilet near there and went inside.

''Ugh! No wonder my stomach feels hurt, I got my period today.'' I just feel upset that come out today. Luckily I have brought those things.

Afterward, I was done doing my things, and I continue my walk to going back.

Suddenly, I come across Ryan there. I quickly want to run out from him but he already sees me there.

"Ara??" Ryan calls out her name.

I stop my walk and pretend to be surprised to see him. I slowly moving towards him.

"Eh, Ryan? Hi!"

"What are you doing here?" He asks with curious

"Uh, um... I meet up with my friends just now."

"Where are they?"

"Oh, they have just gone."

"Didn't you should moving out your things to my house today?"

"I... I know. I just want to go back just now and packing my stuff. So... I going back first. Bye!"

"Wait!"

I was startled and I slowly turned to him.

"Huh?... what?"

''Um...your...your back.''

''What happened with my back? What are you looking at??''

Then, he swiftly takes out his coat and tied it on my waist. I was shocked and wondering why he does that.

''Why you do this?''

''Follow me.'' He pulls out her hands and takes her to some place.

''Aaron, just waiting for a while for me here. And help me hold up the time with them later until I coming back.''

''Okay, Sir.''

Later, they arrived at the Ryan hotel. ''Ryan, why are you bring me here? Let me go!''

He opens the room door and waiting for Ara to come inside.'' Come in''

''For what? Why you force me to go here? Dont you think to make something for me! I know we have married legally but I don't agree to do this with you. I'm not ready for that yet!'' I was shouting at him loudly.

''Ara, I count one until there. If you didn't move, I will lift you.''

''Sorry, I'm not that easy girl!'' I fiercely said to him and want to left out from there. But, he moves toward me and straight away he carry me into the room. Then, he put me in the bathroom.

He closes the door and lets me alone inside the bathroom. ''Ara, please check yourself and...and wait here for a while. I will buy something for you.''

I was in the puzzle and I quickly check on my back. I was surprised to see a little blood in my pants.

''Argh!! Why this happened to me!'' I was screaming out at the bathroom. I didn't know that Ryan was helping me out from earlier. I felt embarrassed at that time.

After fifteen minutes, Ryan was coming back. He knocks on the bathroom door and gives something to her.

Later, after I changing the clothes, I go out of the bathroom. I slowly walk out and I looking for him. After that, I saw him standing on the balcony outside. He looks like he on the call with someone.

''Are you done?'' He said

''Um...yeap,'' I said without looking at his face.

''Let's go.''

I just nod my head and follow him at the back. Actually, I was speechless and I didn't know what should I say to him. Should I say thank you to him? Or sorry? Ugh! But I really deeply felt embarrassed for this time.

I wonder why he still can show his calmness but with his cold face. I wonder what really thinking about me right now. I was misunderstanding him but he didn't say anything to me.

While we on walking, suddenly we come across several groups of men. Ryan stopped his step and one of the men comes toward him.

''Hey, Ryan, my brother! It's coincidental to see you here. What are you doing?'' One of the men speaks to him. But Ryan's face didn't look good. He seems like he didn't have a good term with this man.

''Sorry, I don't have time right now.''

''Wow, calm down. Why don't we talk for a second? Anyway, it really hard to meet you recently.''

''If you want to talk about the business, we talk at the office.''

''Brother, don't be like this. Oh, I see, you must busy want to doing things with this girl right? Who was this girl for this time? Just share it with me.'' He said while looking perve at me.

I was avoiding him looking at me and he nearly wants to touch my body. But, Ryan was quick to stop his hand from touching me.

At the same time, I was looking at both of their eyes. I was shocked to see both of their eyes became red. They were staring angrily at each other. I was scared at that time but I tried to brave myself to stop Ryan.

''Ryan...'' My voice was trembling when I call him. I touch his hand tightly to stop him to do something. I was thought that he looks like he wants to change become a monster.

Then, Ryan quickly pulls my hand closer and brings me with him. We going out from there as soon as possible. I didn't know what really happens but I think that he was mad right now.

Ryan held my hand wrist tightly. I was in pain when he held it tightly. '' Ryan, my hand is hurt...''

After he hears that, he quickly let go of my hand. ''I'm sorry.'' He said then covering his face with his own hands.

''Ryan, are you okay?'' I tried to touch his hand, but he pushed me back harder and was straight away fell in a trice.

I was in a groaning pain because of the hurt of my back. ''Ara!'' Ryan instantly going towards Ara and lift her up. He quickly carried her going back.

***************************************************************************************

After the incident, Ryan brings Ara going back to his house. Ara was in faint and he put her in the bed. He slowly put her on the bed and check her condition.

''Sir, what actually happened?'' Aaron asks him curiously.

''I don't know what to say, but I suddenly push her down. I almost kill her...'' He said while rubbing her hair gently.

''How come that happens? Is there anything that makes you feel angry?''

''I just meet with my cousin, Lucas just now. He just makes a mess with me.''

''Did he know about Miss Ara?''

''No, I didn't tell him yet. But I sure he must be investigated about her if he finds out it later.''

''So, would you want someone to look at Miss Ara after this?''

''It's okay, I think it just saves for now. After all, she will be live here with me starting today.''

''Okay, sir. I understand. I going back first.

''Alright.''

Ryan took his seat beside her in the bed. He was staring at her deeply. Then, he softly rubs her hair. He feels guilty after what he has done to her earlier. He didn't think that he can't control his anger.

He was in thoughtful there while looking at her face lying down there. He actually didn't want Ara to look at his face when he changes to a monster.

''Ara...I'm sorry to hurt you. I'm sorry to not let you see my scarier face that you will even feel scared to see it. I hope I can remove this curse on me but I didn't know how to do it. I just remember that the first time we met, my face changed to normal when I saw you. I didn't know how and why that happens...''

After he saying that, he left her alone in the bedroom. After a few minutes, Ara woke up.

She actually heard about what he said just now and she was in deep thinking. She slowly understanding his real sorrow right now. He must be alone bear all his obstacles in his life.

Then, she fell asleep again as her body is still weak.
