Real Condition

After few minutes, I decided to just find him. When I stepped into the garden, I saw him talking to someone. It was Rusty.

"I hope she won't find out what happened back then. I know you remember everything, Rik. When do you plan to tell her about your condition?" Rusty asked Arik sternly.

I stood there, frozen. What were they talking about?

"You no longer have to worry about that. I only agreed to have you come tonight for her sake," Arik coldly replied.

"I also agreed to come here tonight for her because she wants me to be here. Don't you think she should know about your condition from you? She'll be hurt even more if she finds out from someone else, Rioflorida," Rusty stated firmly. His deep concern was evident.

I heard Arik's string of curses as he muttered to the air and then suddenly knelt in front of Rusty. I was alarmed but unable to move closer to them.
