17th Nightmare

NAENAH AKAIBARA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Naenah, you're awake!" Tia said happily, "Andres! Naenah is already awake!"

"What happened?"

"You lost consciousness when Lexus slammed you to the floor. We know that we can't bring you to the hospital so we decided to let you stay in Andres' house and be taken care of by him. We also abducted Geom Chang for possible extra informations in Lexus and we decided to trapped him in your house for the mean time. We know that your house is secured by some programs that can't be easily hack so he can't easily escape," Liana said.

"Good, but in all people, why Andres?! He will suspect us for something malicious because of what Lexus did to me. He will interogate me! You know that he's a owner of a security company and he might tell something to the police!"

"We trust him, Naenah. There's something in his eyes when he looks at you that convinced us to trust him that he will never let you be hurt and you don't see that. I've seen the boy you've once loved, he's different from him, he's different from Braven. He won't let you be hurt nor leave you. I mean it," Tia said.

"This is not about my love life, Tia."

The door suddenly opened and Andres came in.

"We'll leave to buy some foods. We'll let Andres to take care of you for the mean time," Liana said, "Take care of her, Andres."

Andres nodded, "Sure."

Liana and Tia bid goodbye before going out of the room.

"Sorry for bothering you. I know that you are really busy for being a CEO and model at the same time then here I am, bothering you."

"No, I'm glad that you asked for my help. I'm happy to keep you alive and kicking because I always want to protect you, Naenah," Andres said.

"Stop being cheesy. It doesn't suit you!" I laughed a bit then looked at the picture frame beside the bed, "Is that your brother?"

Andres looks young on the picture. He's probably a teen that time and he's with a guy that is a bit older compared to him.

"Yeah, he's Antonio, but everyone prefers to call him, Antonne," he smiled while looking at the picture frame.

"He's that boy you're talking 'bout before, right?" I asked, "Sorry, if I'll ask this, but what is the cause of his death?"

"He was brutally murdered in an orphanage. There was a massacre in that orphanage and he's one of the victims. He has a friend in that orphanage that he always want to visit. He always tell stories to me about the girl he always visit. He always talk about her, how pretty she is, how shy she is, how admirable she is. Antonne loves the girl so much that he always visit the orphanage. He met her in a park. The girl planned to escape with her sister and they ended up staying in the park temporarily, but the headmistress of the orphanage caught them and forced them to come back to the orphanage. Since then, Antonne always go to that orphanage and to the point that he doesn't have the time to play with me. I got jealous of that girl he's always talking about. I once blame the girl because If Antonne didn't know her, he wouldn't be murdered in that orphanage. 'Till now, I don't have any idea if that girl is one of the victims of that massacre. I saw the girl once, but I can't really remember her face anymore. So maybe if she's still alive, I wouldn't recognize her," he said.

"Maybe, his time has ended. Maybe it's really his end," I said sincerelt, "Did you caught the culprit?"

"Yeah, but he keep on insisting that he is not the real culprit, that a young girl committed the whole massacre," he laughed sarcastically, "How can a little girl commit a serious massacre all by herself? He's just trying to fool us."

"Y-yeah, it's i-impossible!"

"It's been thirteen years and he still keeps on denying it. He's sentenced for a lifetime imprisonement.

"That's horrible!"

"He deserves more than that. Killers like him should die! They don't deserve to live. He should die like how my brother did," he said in stoic expression, but I sensed his anger, "They should rot in jail forever."

I didn't talk and let him calm down for a while, then I decided to talk again after he calm down.

"Can I borrow your laptop?"

"For what?"

"I'm gonna change the passcode of my house."

"Using my laptop? How?" He asked.

"Don't ask too many questions. Just give me your laptop."

He gave me his laptop. He just watched while changing the passcode of my house through his laptop.

"Are you going home later?" He suddenly asked.

"Yes, but not actually on my house. Maybe I'll stay in Yvanna's or Tia's house."

"Why don't you stay here? You know, it's really lonely to be alone," he acted sad.

"Are you kidding me? Do you want some issues? They might think that I am your girlfriend or some fling!"

"Then let them think that you are! I really don't care to what they say, Naenah, as long as you are here," he said while keeping an eye contact with me.

"Are you drunk?! Stop being cheesy to me, okay?! You're crazy! Stop bothering me," I rolled my eyes.

"What's wrong on staying in my house? There's nothing wrong unless you're thinking something malicious towards me! Omaygash, are you?!" He acted like he's an innocent virgin girl, "You won't disagree, if you don't!"

I hit him on his chest.

"Fuck you! I already regret going to that bar and meeting you!" I cursed, "Okay, I will stay here to prove that I'm not! You, asshole!"

He smirk, "I know that you really can't resist my charms," I slapped him hard on his face, "Aww! You know that my face precious, how could you?"

"Can't you please stop acting like a child?"

"Shit! I'm seeing myself in the future, being a battered~

—" he's whispering something and  I interrupted him.

"Are you saying something?"

"I'm not! I'm just thinking on how romantic you are by slapping me," he smiled sarcastically.

"Naenah, we're here—What happened to your face, Andres?!" Liana exclaimed.

"Why is there a hand mark to your face? Did Naenah smacked you?" Tia asked.

Andres shrugged.

"Wait, where's Yvanna?"

"Yvanna? She went to your house to secure Geom," Liana said.

"Yeah! We also said to her to go to Andres' place because you're here. She's still not here?!" Tia asked.

"Damn! I think she's trapped with Geom in my house."

"Why?" Liana asked.

"I changed the passcode of my house. You know that my house is very secured and you need to enter the passcode again if you're going to open the door to go out."

"She's definitely stucked with Geom," Liana stated.
