#Book 2 Chapter 15
She changed, became more beautiful and smart. The girl is a lawyer now. Back in the past she was a rebel and didn’t want to continue her studies.
But she really helped Keian get through her mother’s death. It was hard for him to let go.
They became friends, developed feelings for each other, they dated, but then, Nami disappeared like a bubble.
He tried finding her for years but it was stopped when he got busy planning schemes to avenge against Maximo.
Rubbing his temple, he thought and thought deeper about his actions.
” That’s still not enough reason to hurt Nassnadra and your child, stupid,” he said to himself.
He slapped himself once more and stood up to go inside the house and speak with Nassandra.
Back to Nassandra’s POV
I didn’t saw Keian following me.
He needed to think about a lot of stuff. I sat on the sofa inside the house but I got bored technically because there’s nothing for me to do here.
The house is clean and I have already eaten, we didn’t need to cook. I’m just not sure if Keian has already eaten. I’ll ask him later once his nerves are already at ease.
I wiped away the tears that escaped from my eye and went to our room. There’s a closet there that’s full of stuff and I haven’t checked what’s in there yet.
As I opened the closet, I saw a guitar and some books.
It probably belongs to Keian’s mother. Something for her to pass time.
I smiled and grabbed the guitar.
I started strumming the guitar and tried to recall the song that Papa taught me.
Then I started singing.
—
” Your voice is beautiful…” I turned to Keian by the doorframe.
I placed the guitar on the bed and looked at him.
His eyes are forlorn and as our eyes met, he lets out a bitter smile and lowered his head.
I sighed and unintentionally rubbed my baby bump.
He noticed that and I saw guilt past his face due to what he did.
” N-Nass. I’m really—” I sighed and slightly scooted space for him to sit beside me.
“Sit,” I stated to him.
He looked up with confusion and glanced at the empty space beside me.
” W-what?”
“I said, sit down… Come here and sit beside me.” His mouth gaped.
“Are you commanding me around?”
“What if I am? What are you going to do?” I asked, feeling annoyed.
His eyes widened and immediately did what I told him to.
“Then I’ll follow…” I smiled at him.
” Good” he sat down beside me. He stared at me for a second before lowering his gaze again.
I sighed, again.
” Who is Nami, Keian? You looked so happy when you were with her.” I heard the bitterness in my voice at the first question I just threw to him.
I knew he noticed that because he clenched his fists.
” She’s… my ex” I observed his facial expression.
“I’m aware that she’s your ex but who exactly is she for you?” He glanced at me but also looked away immediately.
” She was my lover, a friend, someone who helped me when I was lonely,” he said with a straight face.
” Uh-huh,” he bit his lip.
” But she suddenly disappeared. All of a sudden we never saw each other again, just like what Gaius did” I raised an eyebrow m
Then I thought.
” Well, if you have Nami then I have Lemuel” his eyes shoot up to meet mine.
” What do you mean Nass?” He looked puzzled.
I placed my hands on his lap.
” They are both from our past and they both helped us before” but his creased eyebrows didn’t seem to get it yet.
I took his hand while my head was shaking.
“If it’s okay for you to talk to Nami, then it’s okay for me to talk to Lem as well.”
” What do you mean?” Irritancy was evident in his tone.
“Whatever you’re feeling about Lem, it’s also what I feel about Na-”
” Are you saying that Nami is no good? That she’s not a good person and she wanted to do something bad?” He stood up which made me look up to him.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“It’s not like that but if-”
” Let me tell you, Nass, Nami is a good person. You don’t know her that much yet so don’t say that she’ll do nothing good”
” Keian—”
” Don’t tell me Lem was the one who brought you to town?” He glared at me.
“So what if it’s him?! Does that matter?” This also made me stood up.
He’s being unreasonable…
He stared at me before walking out of the room.
” I’m going to kill him” I ran after him and held both of his arms captured before he could even rush out of the house.
” Keian, don’t drag any more people with this problem of ours. Let’s just talk” Then he faced me.
“We’ve been talking for a while, Nass. Isn’t it obvious that I don’t want Lem coming back here to meet you?”
“Well then, if I tell you not to meet up with Nami, will you do that, as well?” I softly asked which made his eyes narrow down at me.
“Both of them are different, Nass! Your so-called friend is capable of doing bad things to you and your baby! Why didn’t you think of that?!” He yelled.
” Okay? What if Nami is also planning something bad? You kept accusing Lem of someone who’s going to do something unearthly to a friend whereas, for me, I’m feeling something with Nami the same way you feel something bad with Lem. Are your words the only important thing we should hear out here?!”
It’s true that I could feel something odd about Nami.
He stopped when I raised my voice.
After that, I suddenly felt my world spinning and I thought I was about to fall on the ground but Keian caught me right on the spot.
” Nassandra!?” I grabbed onto his shoulders and tried standing up but Keian had already carried me in his arms in bridal style and brought me to the room to lay me down on the bed.
” I-I’m fine” I tried to sit up but Keian gently pushed me back down on the bed and draw his face near to mine.
” Stay. Please” I pouted and diverted my eyes away from him.
He held one side of my cheek and made my eyes face him back.
He sighed.
He laid down beside me and tightly cuddled me from behind while lying down.
” Okay… I understand your point. I’m sorry for arguing, baby.” It’s my turn to sigh and clasped his hands that are on me.
” If you want me to not meet up with Nami, then I’ll do it. But you’ll do the same with Lem.” I bit my lip at this.
He shifted his position in front of me. His arms supported his body so he wouldn’t squeeze me underneath.
” Let’s just stay here. Just the two of us. We’ll spend all our time together. Okay?” I raised my hand and covered his mouth.
He tried opening his mouth as if he was gasping for air to breathe.
” Nass”
” I’d like that” I flashed a smile at him which made him smile in return.
He reached for my hand and pressed it near to his lips and kissed it.
” I’m really sorry, for hurting you, and thank you. I promise, all my attention will be yours starting from now on” I nodded at him.
” Me too, Kei. I’m sorry and my attention is yours forever. And you didn’t hurt me.” His smile grew wider and our lips almost touched each other.
” I love you, baby.”
” I love you too, Keian.”
