CHAPTER 13

Shila brought Aqasha to some fancy restaurant that are so big she could get lost in it for days! Shila kept on clinging on Aqasha as she didn't want her to leave her sight at all. Aqasha was getting pissed but could not resist nor fight for herself as Shila would use her phone to keep her stay obedient. Aqasha could not lose another phone as her money is getting fewer. Shila was forcing her to sit down when the old man that was spouting nonsense with her in the interrogation room arrived. Aqasha was stunned but couldn't show it. Shila was still giggling when they were all sat down at the table. Aqasha remained silent while Shila was busy ordering food without bother to ask Aqasha what she wants. The old man was also in silence, but his eyes kept on eyeing Aqasha with that weird serious face that he often makes.

"Okay, we have a few minutes till the food arrives." Shila looks at both Aqasha and her papa.

"What is your power?" The old man starts attacking.

They were sitting in a round table, all facing each other's faces and the old man was putting a fierce face, for God sake he looks terrifyingly ugly. Shila however, was giving an opposite reaction. She was shaking her head while closing her eyes as if she was so embarrassed by her papa that she could die. Aqasha looked at them both and sigh.

"What are you talking about?' She placed her right hand under her chin and leans on the table.

"Huh?" The old man paused. "You don't know what I'm talking about?"

His fierce face slowly fades away. The frowned turned upside down. The big wide teeth he was showing slowly got back inside and the sharp glare turned into a soft looking eye.

Shila was fed up and slammed the table. "Papa! She knows what you're talking about! Ugh! Just stay quiet and let me handle it!"

Shila was shouting and the whole room could hear her. Fortunately, they were in a VIP room and nobody other than them were in that room. Aqasha looked at Shila who was looking at her with burning eyes. Aqasha chuckled.

"You good?"

Aqasha's question was just like a gasoline being poured into a wildfire.

"Don't play game with me! You know exactly what we want! Just tell us your power!" Shila was shouting again.

"So this is you true color?" Aqasha smirked.

Aqasha suddenly on the floor. On top of her was Shila, chocking her with her left hand and raised her right hand as if she was about to stabbed her with bare hand. Aqasha was shocked by that. She knew these two people were suspicious, but with Shila's action, it proves that Shila is just like her. The question is, why the association doesn't have her name in the Awakened list? Shila clenched her hand tight and Aqasha started to struggle for some air.

"Why stop talking? Cat got you tongue?" Shila smiled.

"No, it's because something really heavy sit on top of me" Aqasha struggled to speak.

"What did you say?!" Shila lost her patience. "You will never insult me again!" Shila was going to stab Aqasha when her papa stopped her.

"You can't kill her Shila! We need her power!" He grabbed both Shila's shoulder and right hand.

Aqasha quickly move and stand up. She looked at them while coughing.

'How did these guys know I have been awakened? I didn't tell anybody, nor did I do something flashy with my power, so how? Nobody should know about this.'

"Hey!" Aqasha stand up straight and move closer to Shila and her papa who was struggling calming her down. "How are you so sure that I have power? Did you guys saw me acting weird or something?"

Shila stops. The old man also stops. They both look up to Aqasha as if Aqasha just insulted them.

"I'm not that stupid for not knowing a difference between a normal human being and a Receiver." Shila calmed herself up.

"Receiver?" Aqasha confused.

Aqasha never heard of the Receiver. She really thought she was one of the Awakened until Shila told her something she never even heard before.

"You never heard of the Receiver before?" The old man was fixing his suit.

"No."

Shila looks at her papa and sigh. She then turned back to Aqasha.

"For people who received a gift from the Giver, we call them Receiver. One fun fact about Receiver is they can sense each other, so you can't lie to them." Shila sat back down to her sit.

Their food arrives at a very wrong time. The waitress was frozen as she enters the VIP room. Shila gave a signal to the waitress to proceed and also help set the table back. Aqasha only watch from afar. She refuses to leave her place. She then proceeds with her question after the waitress left the room.

"So are you telling me that you are also a Receiver, that's why you can tell that I'm also one of you? The Receiver?"

"Yes." Shila actually hungry that she didn't even look at Aqasha while answering her question.

"What is the purpose of you finding those Receiver?" Aqasha was struggling not to expose her real self but the curiosity was also pushing her to her limit.

"Why do you wanna know?" Shila still refuses to look at Aqasha while smirking like a sly person she is.

Aqasha walked to the table and stand right in front of Shila.

"Let say you got me right. Why would I join you?"

"I am right. You just playing hard to get like you some hot bitch."

"Yeah, so what makes you think I would be by your side and not the government?"

Shila stops.

"Listen here you lil bitch. It's either you with me or die." She holds the fork upside down. "So what is your answer."

"Ha...." Aqasha slick her dark black hair to the back. "You really are stupid." She walks out of the room.

Shila was stunned by Aqasha's action.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going? I still have your phone!"

"I don't need it. You can have it if you want it that much."

"It's your lost, bitch! You'll realize later who's side you should be on and you will regret it!!!"

Shila was almost running after Aqasha when her papa stops her.

"Don't. I think we did her wrong."

"But papa-"

"Eat your food. Don't waste it."
