55 It was you

Kresha sitted in front of the mirror.

She is in a daze while staring at the black metal that the ninja-like savior accidentally dropped at the Mo corporation car park.

She remember the night when she was attacked by Jack.

When she was almost lost hope and thought that both of her and Lindon would die that night.

And then a ninja-liked man suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

C-could it be that they are the same person? Kresha thought.

But why would he hide his identity that night?

Kresha sigh.

She took her phone and made a call.

Redwood mansions

Jiron sitted on the couch; he leaned his back and closed his eyes.

After a few minutes his phone suddenly ring.

Jiron opened his eyes again, he straightened his body and took the phone from the top of the table.

He looked at the caller's name.

It's Kresha!

Jiron quickly press the answer button.

"Hello?" He answered.

"J-Jiron... are you... busy tomorrow?"

"Why?" Jiron asked.

"I... I want to talk to you... can we meet tommorow?" Kresha replied.

"Hhmmm... Where?"

"Let's meet at the Cafe near the Mo Corporation at three pm." Kresha said.

"Hhhmmm..." Jiron agreed.

"Thank you." Kresha said and then she ended up the call.

-------

The next day...

Kresha and Jiron is sitting face to face.

"Jiron, I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry if I treated you coldly last night." Kresha lowered her head.

Jiron smiled, " You don't have to apologize Kresha. I understand you. It's also my fault, I did not told you my relationship with Arriene." He said.

"Jiron, thank you for everything that you did for me." Kresha said sincerely.

"Anyway, I wanted to give you something!" Kresha took her bag at the top of the table and take out something.

"I believe this is yours." She said as she stretch her arm to give to Jiron the black metal which is shaped like a flying angel.

Jiron froze when he saw the thing in Kresha's hand.

"W-where... did you get this?" He asked as he took the black metal from Kresha's hand.

"You dropped it at the Mo Corporation's carpark." Kresha pause for a moment. "The ... the night you saved me and Lindon."

Jiron was stunned!

He did not expect that Kresha would recognize him!

"I knew it was you." Kresha did not gave Jiron a chance to speak.

"H-how did..."

"Actually I have just realized it last night." Kresha replied. "Beside Lindon, you are the other person who is willing to sacrifice his self for me." She added.

"Uh..." Jiron don't know what to say.

"Thank you again Jiron. I owe you a lot."

"No! You owe me nothing!" Jiron replied.

Kresha stared at Jiron for a moment.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked.

"Hhmmm.." Jiron nodded his head.

"Why... Why did you hide your identity that night?"

Jiron did not hurry to answer Kresha's question.

He picked up his cup and sipped his coffee.

He put down his cup before he speak.

"That time, I wanted to save you. But I don't want to reveal my sister's real identity, because I was still hoping that she might change her mind. I might convince her to stop doing those unlawful things." Jiron said.

"If I helped you with my real identity that night. The police might investigate me as well, what if I accidentally tell them about my sister? I don't want her to go to jail and suffer."

"I wanted to help you but I also wanted to protect my sister. But it turned out that I made a wrong decision. She become even more reckless and violent!"

Kresha did not interupt Jiron. She kept silent and let him speak.

Jiron looked at Kresha. "I'm sorry Kresha, I should have done this before everything went worst. I should have cooperated with the authorities a long time ago." Jiron lowered his head.

"Jiron, you don't have to apologize. I know that you're confuse, and you're stuck with the situition." Arriene tried to comfort Jiron.

"I know it's so hard for you to betray your own sister. But I'm glad that you still choose to do the right thing." Kresha replied.

There is a silence between them for a moment.

"Jiron, there is one more thing I wanted to ask." Kresha is the one who broke the silence. "Our meeting, I mean, our first met. Uhm... was everything's just a coincidence?" Kresha asked.

Jiron knitted his brows. " Everything is just a coincidence. I didn't know that you and Arriene knew each other. I only discover it when I went to her apartment and saw your photo and your information files."

"Files?" Kresha asked.

"She investigated your background." Jiron replied.

"Oh!" It's the only word that came out from her mouth.

"Jiron, you're a good person. I hope you will find a girl who would love you faithfully. You deserve to be happy." Kresha said.

Jiron smiled and tried to joke." Hey! You're breaking my heart again!" He smiled but it did not reach his eyes.

Kresha curved her lips. "Don't worry, there might be someone out there waiting for you to walk in front of her. You're gonna find someone who would heal your broken heart." She said.

Jiron did not response. He just smiled and stared at Kresha's happy face. He knew that Kresha is happy because of Lindon.

And seeing her like this made him feel better.

If she is happy, then he should be happy for her too, even if he is not the reason of her happiness.

He is willing to endure the pain inside just to see her happy.

He knew at the right time, his broken heart would heal.

-----

Kresha went to Lindon's apartment after her meeting with Jiron.

She knew Lindon's passcode so she opened the door and get inside his apartment.

She found Lindon sitting on the couch and he is talking to someone on the phone.

"Make sure everything is perfect!" Kresha heared Lindon said.

Kresha silently sitted beside Lindon.

When Lindon notice Kresha, he quickly cut the call and put down his phone at the top of the table.

"How do you feel?" Kresha asked Lindon when he ended the call.

Kresha looked at Lindon and saw the bruises on his face.

Lindon curved his lips and moved closer to Kresha. "I feel better now."

He put his arms around her waist.

"Hey! Are you busy on saturday?" Kresha asked Lindon.

"Why?" Lindon asked back to Kresha.

"Uhm, I just want to have dinner with you. " Kresha said.

Lindon knitted his brows. "Why? Is there any occasion on saturday?"

"..."

Kresha was speechless.

So he don't remember my birthday?!

Kresha sigh!

She feel a little bit annoyed. "Oh! No... nothing! " she said and she get up from her seat and headed to the kitchen.

Lindon curved his lips and pretended that he did not notice Kresha's annoyance.
