SWEET TRAP

CHAPTER SEVEN. Strong Woman


The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.

I think beauty comes from within. If you are happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.

SCROLL DOWN.


Previously on Sweet Trap.

Our navigator Nami became a waitress in the All Blue Restaurant, but unfortunately her life inside the restaurant was not that easy because every single second she was about to do something her two devil superiors Risa and Antonio always bombarded her a lot of comments. Commanding and punishing her became their new habit. They even tried to hurt her just to get what they wanted. Now her new punishment was to clean all the bathroom both for male and female without even break. In addition, she was also prohibited to eat for this whole day.

When the peaceful darkness of the night struck the whole island, wherein the king of moon reigned the black sky accompanied by its knights the twinkling stars. The wind wondered and hushed the entire island, it was also blowing the water smoothly.

Every single second our navigator situation kept worsening. Gosh, it was not that easy to clean all the bathroom in this big restaurant while her stomach kept scrabbling and growling for too much hunger. She even thought that she was almost dying for too much hunger.

She tried her best to sleep, forcing her mind to ignore the growling musics of her flat stomach, but no matter what she did the pain of too much hunger kept waking her up countless times.

How could she possibly sleep if her stomach never ever stopped from complaining?

How could she possibly ignore it if it was screaming for food?

How could she possibly fall asleep if she could not take the too much hunger?

Her stomach kept growling, rambling and screaming for too much hunger.

Growling.

Growling.

Growling.

Rambling.

Rambling.

Rambling.

She just did everything just to alleviate her sufferings, but it was all useless.

She could not even count how many times she kept on repeating same things over and over again.

She did not know how many times she had folded her stomach just to ease the pain away.

She did not know how many times her mind wondered to a beautiful hallucination just to eat the food she was craving?

She did not know how many times she tried to eat her fingers just to wake her up from her hallucination.

She did not know how many times she tried to push away her hunger.

Out of the blue an idea suddenly popped to her head. It was an idea that absolutely manipulated her way of thinking. It was an idea that she did immediately agreed. She even nodded her head incessantly just to mark that perfect idea as her own mission for this night.

It was an idea of sneaking the kitchen for a small bites just to finally ease her hunger and stop the commotion inside her stomach. Yes that was her mission for this night!

She would definitely perform that mission after all of her coworkers left the kitchen and then fell into a very long sleep. Well duh, she was not actually planning to obey her stupid superior and wait for the sun to come just to finally eat her meal. Who were they by the way, and who gave a damn shit about them. She would even prefer to be scolded, nagged and punished than to keep suffering or even die for too much hunger.

Remember, she was a thief before. She had spent her childhood and teenage life being a genius and talented thief due to her ambition of buying her village from the cruelty rule of Arlong Park, the Merman she really despised.

She even admitted that her thievery skills was far from professionalism. Obviously, it was way too easy for her, like a piece of paper, to steal some food without even seen by others.

She really tried her very best to wait patiently inside her smelly tiny bedroom. She kept waiting and waiting for the right time and right opportunity to finally apply her profession.

Then the midnight came, just like a rich velvet blanket of black, swallowing up the day, draining the colors of the sky into gray and then to nothing at all.

Everybody was in a long slumber. They had forgotten everything but only the long trance filled with dreams and nightmares.

But she needed to wait for another hour because someone might still be in the kitchen.

TICK. TACK. TICK. TACK. TICK. TACK.

And when she looked up again to the clock that hung firmly on the wall it indicated it was already One-Thirty (1:30 AM) in the early morning. She immediately hopped from her bed, too excited to eat her very so very late meal. She grabbed her thick jacket to cover her body and to protect her against from the cold outside. She then held her doorknob and pulled the door open.

The very long corridor was usual as always, it was so dark, cold and scary. It was like she was in a very long tunnel, only the glow of tiny candles hung on the wall were the light. She breathed heavily then took the urge to walk solemnly.

WALK.

WALK.

WALK.

WALK.

A LONG WALK that she felt like it was never really ending.

It was a very long road to walk on.

As usual this night was not different from the other nights, it was so damn cold.

She even hugged herself so tightly because the atmosphere kept getting colder. It shivered her deep within her bones. She could not even see her step because of the thick smoke she made every time she breathed. She needed to pay more attention because her eyes were still adjusting from the darkness, and being too aware of her neighbor rats that marched beside her.

Every step she made the whole corridor creaked loudly.

Every step she made it growled her stomach.

Every step she made it made her felt like forever.

Every step she made it scared the hell out of her.

But she must endure and fight all of these obstacles, the smelly rats, the cold, the tiredness, the creepy darkness and of course her hunger because after overcoming all of these obstacles she would finally get her reward by getting inside the kitchen, the only place she needed the most.

The kitchen that worth of all sacrifices.

The kitchen that could easily solve her problem.

The kitchen that could heal her hunger disease.

The kitchen that became her paradise.

The kitchen she was dreaming for this night.

The kitchen she wanted to be alone with oh so badly.

And yes finally the long dark corridor was done.

She then first placed her ear on small portal, right to the door, listening desperately and eagerly for every sound.

WHOOOSSH.

She only heard the sound of the wind that slowly passed her by. She just ignored it, then listened again just to make sure she heard it right, that she was totally aware of her surroundings, not just her hallucination.

WHOOOSSH.

The wind again, no other sound at all, then it all meant everybody was already sleeping, that they were all in their individual room and no one was really awake.

She then clicked the doorknob pulling the portal open. She stepped outside the long corridor and stepped inside the restaurant. She looked around and everywhere, her eyes kept wandering all over the place. She made sure that no one was still there.

She then slid out her sandals, holding them with her hands as she tiptoed all the way to the kitchen to avoid more noise.

Tiptoeing.

Tiptoeing.

Tiptoeing.

Tiptoeing.

Tiptoeing all the way to the kitchen. But when she finally within a distance to the kitchen she had seen the glow of light coming from it.

Then it only meant, someone was still there, in this hour?

But who?

What the heck!

Why now?

'GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!' Nami thought. She did scream inside her head.

She was absolutely disappointed at the same time annoyed. Her overexcited expression had turned into sad, loneliness and miserable. She was too damn hungry. She wanted food, just only a handful food to heal her hunger. She turned back slowly away from the kitchen, tiptoeing again just to go back to her bedroom because the coldness was too much for her to handle.

She could not even wait for another minutes because it was almost a work hour and that ugly Antonio would wake her up. Remember, her work hour was Three (3:00 AM). She could not even eat her meal either until Risa would say so.

She could not stop herself from cursing, if only she know the person in the kitchen she would definitely kill her or him, but she guessed it was him because it was impossible for Risa to be still here in the restaurant in this hour.

"I guess, my mission is failed." Nami uttered. "… but god I am so huuuuuungry! I can't take it any longeeeeeeeer! Foooooooooooooooooooood please! Give me a piece of food, even a tiny bread!'

She then began treading all the way to the small portal, but a very loud exaggerate moan suddenly rang, it definitely echoed all over the place and absolutely stopped her from walking.

AAAAAAAAHH~

HUH?

WHA… WHAT?

"What was that?" Nami gaped. She immediately stopped in midair, springing quickly to look around.

AAAAAAAAHH~

The moan rang again but this time it was not just once but many times. The moan became a cry. It was a woman voice, she kept moaning and crying so damn loud, and it was coming from the glowing kitchen.

'OH MY GOD!' Nami chanted. She was definitely gulping so hardly. She did not really know what to do. She just stood there gaping and gasping with her big chocolate eyes fixed to the kitchen. Her eyes kept growing and her ears obliviously kept counting the moans.

The moans kept ringing and ringing right inside her head.

Yes, the moans were coming from a woman.

The moans were pleasurable moans.

The moans were exaggerate moans.

The moans were exactly like the moans screamed by those women she had watched in porn clips.

Yes, it was not her first time she had heard those moans but it was her first time that she heard them personally. It was not just coming from the video but coming from the kitchen.

Right on the All Blue Restaurant!

What should she suppose to do in this kind of situation?

Should she just ignore it and leave?

Should she sneak and see who was making that noise?

Should she pretend that she had never heard it?

But due to her scientific attitude, being too curious, she turned back quickly to face the kitchen and began marching all the way.

Curiosity did not kill right?

She did not actually care if it was a bad attitude to sneak but her curiosity was so powerful to ignore and it was her main priority to do it for this moaning and freaking night. She started tiptoeing again all the way to the kitchen, but this time her only target was not to steal food but to sneak, to take a little peek just to satisfy her curiosity, and to see what was really happening inside the mystery kitchen, who was the owner of that dirty moan, who was with her, and what were they doing

Well duh, obviously, she already knew what they were doing but she wanted to see with her own eyes just to prove her guess.

When she finally arrived on the kitchen, she carefully and slowly poked her head to the door, sneaking to the fullest but making completely sure that she was not that too loud. She peeked inside, looking and wandering all around but suddenly, out of the very blue, her eyes got widened, her muscles from all over her body ate by massive paralyze, her heart stopped from beating and her mouth hung so damn long.

Frightening.

Astonishing.

Alarm.

Scared.

Pain.

Suffering.

She could not really breath, completely suffocating by the scene she saw right now, right directly with her two widely opened eyes. Her emotions automatically filled with numb, lost, horrible, awful, rage, and most of all hurt.

She felt as if the world was coming to an end. She also felt like there was a part of her that already die. It was her heart.

She could not really describe what she had felt at this very moment when her eyes saw and confirmed that the pleasurable moans were coming from her hated superior Risa and they kept giving by her Sanji-kun.

Yes, it was her Sanji-kun, the famous Black Leg, the Sanji of Vinsmoke Family, and the owner of the All Blue Restaurant. He was seating calmly on the wooden chair with his knees bent and legs slightly spread. He was leaning back with his strong arms wrapped around to his secretary Risa's waist while kissing her directly to her mouth, to her neck and down to her upper breasts so damn eagerly like a starving man.

His woman Risa was straddling him. She was seating right directly to his erection. She was facing him while their lips were locked, so damn busy kissing each other mouth and body. She even stuck her big breasts to his firm chest.

Risa was completely naked while Sanji still wore his pants. She kept lowering herself to meet his erection and holding his shoulders for her support as she kept bouncing repeatedly for every thrust. The entire kitchen was being filled by her pleasurable moans. Her moans were became the only sound all over the restaurant.

WHAT THE HELL!

What was happening right now?

Was our navigator suddenly dreaming?

Was it a dream or a nightmare?

Nami could not take this unexpected and disgusted scene any longer. She unconsciously lifted her hands just to place them above her ears, covering, preventing and not wanting to hear Risa's never ending moans.

Ah~

Ah~

Ah~

Yes~

Oh yes~

Yes~

Yeeeeeeeeees~

Don't stop please~

Obviously, they were the moans of Risa, and Nami could not take them any longer and anymore. Fortunately, she finally regained control her muscles from all over her body, using that chance to run away. She ran away from that erotic scene, from Risa's moans, and from the man she had ever loved.

She ran away like her life depended on every step she had made.

She just ran and did forget her hunger because the pain she felt in her heart was stronger than the hunger she felt in her stomach.

She just ran and did forget the cold because the cold of being abandon and vain was stronger than the cold of the night.

She just ran and did forget if her steps were so loud because she did not even care about anything. She just wanted to run and run.

She just ran and did forget the scary long and dark corridor because the frightening scene she had seen was scary than anything, and it kept haunting her.

She just ran so fast and never ever looked back.

Sanji gave her a job as a waitress though she really hated it she still accepted it just to show that she was so sincere with her words of wanting to see the Sanji-kun she knew, but the real reason behind it was because she just wanted to be with him, to stay near him.

She even tried to endure everything, being a waitress, being a slave, living in a smelly tiny room, cleaning the kitchen, the bathroom and even the whole restaurant, and facing so many insults, blames, bad words and punishments, because she still believed that they were all created by Sanji as a challenge to prove her sincerity, but it was all only her belief, it was all far away from the truth.

He really pushed her away because he really hated her, not just a challenge.

How stupid she was for still believing they were just challenge when she knew deep within that they were not. Yes, she knew it in the first place but she still tried to believe.

It was so unfair!

So damn unfair!

She was supposed to be special to him because she was Nami the Cat Burglar, his nakama, the one who guided him to the path of his dream the All Blue. But why she felt like she was not that special to him.

It was unfair because she knew him for so many years but Risa might just know him for three years and they were so damn close, closer like kissing, hugging and even sexing.

It was unfair because she just did everything just to get his attention but she could not actually get even a tiny bit of his attention, while Risa already got his attention.

It was so unfair!

What was the difference between them?

It was just only their age, right? Because Risa was older than her. But overall, they were actually the same, they had stunning bodies, pretty faces, big boobs, and long hair. Physically they were the same. But it might be because Risa had a lot of experience and she was inexperience.

But it was only that, right?

Ah yeah, they really had a lot of difference.

Risa might be his lover, his secretary and his woman for almost three years.

But Nami, she was his nakama for many years. She might not become his lover but she care and loved him like he was her lover. She might not be his secretary but she was his waitress just to be with him. They had shared so many memories, shared so many fights, shared so many loneliness and happiness. She was a part of his success. She was the only navigator who guided him to this place. She thought for him every single second. She cried for him every night. She cared for him. She loved him. But it was all useless because he did not care about her. He already forgot her a long time ago. She was just a part of his past.

UNFAIR.

SO UNFAIR.

She loved him but he would never love her back. She still loved him even he loved another woman.

He was like a fire, the more she touched him the more he gave him pain, burning her, and all she had did was to just watch over him from a distance, away from him, while he was happily dancing with another fire.

She now finally came to realize why he kept pushing her away from his life over and over again, because he wanted another woman. He was in love with another woman.

It even pained her when she had found out that Risa was the only exception from his hatred as the Man of Cruelty.

She really felt helpless and hopeless. She felt helpless because no one could save her from this torment. She felt hopeless because her hope of being accepted would never be happened.

It was painful because heartbreak was painful. She was heartbroken.

Why did he choose Risa over her?

Why did he hide their relationship when it was so freaking obvious?

Why was it so hurt though she had no right to feel that way because she was just his nakama?

Why did she end up crying to the tip of her voice?

Why were their images still vivid inside her head?

The more she loved him the more he slipped away from her grasp.

Every single day she was haunting by the fear of losing him, but right now she had finally accepted that he was already gone. She had lost him and it was painful. So painful. There was no hope between her and Sanji.

BANG.

BANG. It was the sound of her tiny door when she had slammed the door hardly.

Yes, she returned back to her tiny door without even realizing it because her mind was kept occupied by the images she hated to think, the images that would haunt her forever.

She immediately swam on her tiny bed then broke down into loud sobs. She did not care if she sounded like a young kid, did not care if her voice was too loud, and did not care if her tears kept falling down like a waterfalls. Her devastating sobs punched and ripped through her muscles, bones, and even guts. She cuddled on her pillow and just cried to the fullest, letting her sobs yanked the pain out of her chest.

Her life crumbled in her fingertips. Her tears kept falling down until no more tears left to express her agony.

She felt so sick and disgusted every time their images flashed through her mind.

She was sick.

She was hollow.

She felt alone.

She felt betray.

She felt pain.

She felt regret.

She would not think to do anything just to skip away from the endless pain that swayed her.

Yes, she felt regretful because if only she knew that this situation would happen she would definitely accept him. It was when they were pirates, that he was still courting her every single second of their lives, but all she did was to push him away, totally ignored him and took his devotion for granted. She was regretting them, if only she knew this suffering would never be happened.

If only she had done the right thing, she would never be broken.

If god gave him a chance to correct something she would definitely choose to correct her big mistake by letting the love she felt blew her and quickly confessed it to him. She would definitely reciprocate his overwhelming care and devotion by doing the right way just to show him he meant everything to her.

But it was too late, too damn late because he was with another woman. Her savior, her Sanji-kun was out of reach. Yes, he was near but she felt like she could not reach him anymore.

She felt like her heart fell on the ground and broken into thousand pieces. No matter how much she tried to fix it many times, it was still broken. It would never be fixed.

Her life in this island was now useless until she cried herself to sleep.

For the past week, our navigator could not do anything at all other than lying down to her tiny bed, sleeping and sleeping. She did not care at all to her surroundings, all she had ever wanted was to sleep, and thinking about what she had done wrong in the past was actually made her felt so sleepy, so she just slept. But every time she had closed her eyes the scene she had seen in the kitchen was always woke her up, that was why she suddenly suffered from insomnia.

Yes, she was actually sleeping but only just her eyes not her heart and brain. She just pretended sleeping.

She even became so sensitive as if she felt things deeply, no thick skins at all, just lot of raw pains.

She felt like she was wandering in a very dark place, there was no light at all, and felt totally abandon. Yes, her Sanji-kun abandoned her.

Horrible.

Sorrow.

Betrayal.

Disgusted.

Unexplainable.

Unbearable.

Painful.

Every night she was crying. All she could do was to cry because it was the only thing she knew. Oh come on, it was the heartbreak had done to her. She also felt like to cry was helping her to get through the worst of the pain.

Aside from the pain she felt, she also felt so damn embarrassed and shamed because she kept insisting herself to him though he already had a girlfriend.

So shameful.

So the ugly Antonio was right because she had no really right to say something bad to Risa because she was the owner's future wife.

She also thought that the bitch Risa was also right because she was coming from nowhere and trying to act so bossy and even trying to get her property.

She had no face now to show.

So shameful!

Yes, they were all right, Risa was better than her.

Why better?

Risa was her superior, Sanji's secretary and she was also his woman. While, Nami was just a waitress and his nakama. Obviously, Risa was better than her. She was even better than her because she was not inexperience just like Nami.

Inexperience, as in someone who had no experience about sex.

SEX?

Today's men, they preferred more experience woman than inexperience. Right?

She did not now care if Antonio came to her room just to give her a lecture and scold, because it was not anymore painful compared to what she had felt within her.

She really tried to forget everything and even ignored the pain, but in the end the thing she had forgotten were her appearance, health, job and even the time. Yes, she completely forgot them because all she did was to lay down on her bed, bleeding her eyes out or kept staring at the far horizon and letting the pain took her.

In this moment, she really needed someone to come and save her, saving her from this painful torment. She even cried to the tip of her lungs those words 'PLEASE SOMEONE, PLEASE SAVE ME!' But no matter how many times she had cried them, no one came to save her, no one came to help her, just only her neighbor rats but still they did not even save her.

"YOU LITTLE GIRL! STAND UP ALREADY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I TRY TO TELL YOU TO WAKE UP AND GET TO YOUR FEET AND WORK!" The ugly Antonio yelled. He violently banged Nami's door to open. He really looked so mad, so annoyed and readily enough to eat someone. But when he saw our navigator pitiful's feature, his overwhelming rage suddenly disappeared. It dissolved like a boiling water when it was mixed by an ice. His expression changed completely into pity. He looked like a man who was too eager to save someone in need.

Though he was an ugly brute scary man, he was still a human being too prone to feel other suffering.

Our navigator had no really idea that Antonio stood on her door. She just sat there, right in front of her mirror, looking at her pitiful appearance, and observing her tears that kept falling from her chocolate eyes. There was no actually window in her room because it was located in the lowest place of the restaurant.

She was crying again, blinking briny tears from her bloodshot eyes. Her tears made wet tracked down her beautiful face and dripped from her stubble wobbling chin. Her thick lashes stuck together in clumps as if she had been swimming. She did not really bother if there was a clear watery snot streaked from her flaring nostrils down to her red mottled skin to her open quivering lips.

She rhythmically opened and closer her hand. clenching them as if there was a violent solution to her pain if only she could find it.

Yes, she was still waiting for someone, her superman who could possibly save her from this nightmare.

It was like there was a big sharp of knife stabbed right directly to Antonio's heart when he saw Nami. Yes, he was an emotionless, brute and cold blooded giant, but he suddenly felt so damn hurt by just looking at her.

'I want to tell you how much you mean to me, as billion words could not bring you back… neither could a billion tears… I know this because I cry for you. You just left behind a broken heart… and… happy memories too… but I still want you… only want you…'

She had lost him, her Sanji-kun, so there was no reason for her to keep on staying here in this island or keep insisting herself to him.

It was now so impossible to capture him using her Sweet Trap because he was already trapped by the other woman. She had lost him.

She needed to leave this place, must disappear from this place, from his sight, and from his life again.

She needed to go back home to her little village, as soon as possible, pronto without looking back.

She needed…

She was about to think another thought when she was startling by a soft tap on her shoulder. She then slowly lifted her head to look at the owner of that soft tap but she was automatically surprise when she had found out that it was coming from the man she hated. It was Antonio.

"WAA… WHAT!?" Nami shocked. She actually jolted away from Antonio, fearing that he might punish her again. But there was no other shock could worsen her shock when she saw right in her eyes that the ugly Antonio was weeping and sobbing like a kid.

"GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Antonio wept, huge tears kept streaming down from his eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU CRYING FOR!" Nami screamed, using her hand to smack Antonio's head.

"LITTLE GIRL… I KNOW… I KNOW…" Antonio wept.

"You know what?"

"I KNOW… I KNOW… YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT."

"To say what?"

"I KNOW THAT IT IS REALLY HURT. SO PAINFUL."

HUH?

H

U

H

?

HUH?

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH?

Nami's mouth hung open so damn long. She could not stop from blinking, too shock.

"I KNOW BECAUSE I HAD BEEN IN THAT SITUATION FOR HUNDRED TIMES."

"Huh?"

"BROKENHEARTED IS PAINFUL! IT IS SO PAINFUL!" Antonio sobbed. He was even grabbing his heart like he was totally suffering from the pain of broken heart.

BULL'S-EYE

HUH?

Nami just blinked, blinking and blinking for several times. She really hated that she was really so obvious.

"I KNOW IT LITTLE GIRL, EVEN YOU DID NOT SAY ANYTHING. I KNOW IT BY JUST LOOKING AT YOU AND I REALLY UNDERSTAND YOU BECAUSE I HAD BEEN THERE MANY TIMES IN A ROW. I KNOW AND STILL VIVIDLY FEEL THE PAIN OF BROKENHEARTED. YOU ARE SO POOR. GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Antonio wailed. He was crying like a new born baby with his big like hippopotamus mouth.

'You are such an ugly, so no wonder.' Nami thought. "Just so you know, I don't really need your sympathy or your comfort. All I want from you is to give me minute just so I can fix myself or get my sense back. Will you?"

"NAH… I WILL NOT JUST GIVE YOU MINUTE BUT MORE THAN A MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK… YES, I WILL GIVE YOU ONE WEEK…"

"Hey, hey… wait you there giant." Nami halted. "What the hell are you talking about? Are you making fun of me or you are just out of your mind?"

"NO. I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING. I AM NOT MAKING FUN OF YOU AND I AM PERFECTLY SANE. OH JUST DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR JOB BECAUSE I WILL ASSIGN SOMEONE TO REPLACE YOUR JOB FOR THE TIME BEING OR I, MYSELF, WILL GET YOUR JOB."

HUH?

Nami just hung her mouth down. So shock. So surprise. She did not really know what was happening.

"IT IS OKAY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB ANYTIME YOU WANT TOO. SO JUST RELAX AND BREATH. JUST ENJOY YOUR ONE WEEK LEAVE. YOU CAN EVEN LEAVE THIS RESTAURANT AND HAVE A VACATION." Antonio assured. He was giving Nami his big broad smile, it was curving to his hippopotamus mouth.

"Wait, just wait up! I don't get you. Why are you doing this? I thought you hate me, so why?" Nami said. But when she had ended up saying her point Antonio suddenly placed his index finger above her lips, stopping her from talking.

"JUST GO BACK TO YOUR BED AND SLEEP." Antonio hushed. He then moved his hand to caress and touch her back so gently, guiding her to her bed.

"Damn it giant!" Nami cursed. She quickly turned to face Antonio and then smacked his hand away from her. "What do you want? What do you plan to do? For your damn info, I'm not stupid to listen and to believe in you. Ah I know it, you are doing all of this, pretending you care and showing sympathy just to get my trust, aren't you? Then after getting my trust, you and your stupid Risa would planning to do something just to make me suffer…"

"GEEZ, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. JUST BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE, I DO NOT CARE. SO NOW SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND SLEEP. YOU NEED TO SLEEP SO YOU CAN REGAIN YOUR ENERGY. IT IS NOT THAT REALLY EASY TO SUFFER FROM BROKEN HEART. IT IS NOT JUST THE HEART AFFECTED BUT EVERYTHING." Antonio said. He just ignored Nami's complains then pushed her as gently as he could, on her bed. "JUST SLEEP. I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO. I HATE WASTING TIME."

Nami stormed to face him again, this time she was fuming for too much pissed. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

"BROKEN HEART IS THE WORST DISEASE PEOPLE CAN FEEL. I FELT IT TOO SO I UNDERSTAND YOU. I AM NOT DOING THIS BECAUSE OF YOU BUT BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS SO PAINFUL." Antonio explained. He then turned his back from Nami and walked all the way to her door. He was planning to leave her.

Nami just blinked a couple of times. She was so really confused, shock. 'WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING? WHAT THE HECK THIS UGLY MAN IS THINKING?'

"OH YEAH, BEFORE I LEAVE. WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO KEEP YOURSELF OCCUPIED. I MEAN, YOU ARE STILL YOUNG, SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMART. SO WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO MOVE ON AND START LOOKING AT OTHER MEN. GAGAGAGAGAGA, I AM GUESSING THAT YOU ARE STILL SINGLE. I BET YOU HAVE A LOT OF SUITORS, RIGHT? SO GO AHEAD AND HUNT YOUR FUTURE BOYFRIEND. BUT MOREOVER, YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR APPEARANCE BECASUE RIGHT NOW YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER, GAGAGAGAGA."

Nami was still clueless but she still looked at her clothes, touching her oily face and then her messy hair. 'He might be right.'

"SEE I TOLD YOU I AM RIGHT AS I AM ALWAYS RIGHT, GAGAGAGA. YOU NEED TO GET BACK YOUR BEAUTY. WHAT IF THE MAN WHO BROKE YOUR HEART SEE YOU, DO YOU THINK HE WILL GONNA APPRECIATE YOUR APPEARANCE AND WILL LOVE YOU BACK? NO, NOT, ABSOLUTELY NOT. SO IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO FIX AND LOVE YOURSELF. THE THING HAPPENING TO YOU SHALL PASS. THIS TOO SHALL PASS. IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!"

Nami just stared at him. Gulping. Breathing. Blinking. Her entire attention had never left Antonio. She was really wondering if this man was the brute ugly Antonio who always insulted, scolded and punished her, the evil companion of Risatan (Risa + Satan).

Why did he suddenly change?

Was it really him?

'He just finally changes for the better, I guess. But yes, this too shall pass! It is not really the end of the world.' Nami thought.

"YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE IN PAIN LIKE THIS OFTEN IN YOUR LIFE, RIGHT? THEN, YOU CAN EASILY AVOID THIS PAIN BY FINDING YOUR HAPPINESS IN YOURSELF."

So freaking unexpected, she never really expected this kind of conversation in a billion percent, not in Antonio, the brute ugly giant who really hated her, who loved to have fun of her misery, and who loved the way he ruined her life.

And now, he was actually encouraging her, advising her and comforting her in her worst situation.

Was he the superman she was waiting and wishing, the one who would save her from this pain?

'NO. NO. NO. NO WAY! He is so yucky!' Nami disgusted, shaking her head ceaselessly.

"BY THE WAY, IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND? OH I REALLY THOUGHT YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE BECAUSE NO ONE ACTUALLY VISIT YOU."

OUCH!

Pain struck directly to Nami's heart. Antonio's word definitely shot her heart, making it bleed.

Yes, Antonio was right. No one actually visited her. She had no boyfriend. And, the one who broke her heart was not her boyfriend.

"Actually, he is not my boyfriend… he is just my nakama."

"GAGAGAGA! OH~ SO IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL SO BROKEN BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST HIS NAKAMA. GAGAGAGAGA."

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know it. I freaking know it. I know it right in the first place but I could not help myself but fall in love to him… I even hoped and prayed for his love. I thought you understand me, so you must understand this one-sided love I feel, this devastating pain I feel… knowing he will never love me the way I love him."

"DON'T GET ME WRONG. I FEEL YOUR PAIN EVEN RIGHT NOW. YEAH, IT IS SO PAINFUL TO ASSUME THAT SHE HAS A FEELING FOR YOU."

SHE?

"Wait. Am I hearing you right? Did you say she instead of he?"

"SO I GUESS I NEED TO TELL YOU."

"Yes. You need to tell me."

"YES, IT IS SHE NOT HE BECAUSE I AM PREFERRING TO RISA-SAMA, BECAUSE I USED TO BE SO MADLY IN LOVE TO HER. YOU KNOW, IT WAS A LOVE AT FIRST TALK. I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER WHEN SHE FIRST TALKED TO ME. AS YOU SEE, I AM UGLY, SCARY AND DIRTY THOUGH I ALWAYS TAKE A BATH." Antonio chuckled, then he continued. "EVERY WOMAN WAS SCARED TO ME. THEY FELT DISGUSTED, HATEFUL AND ANGRY EVERY TIME I TRIED TO TALK TO THEM BUT RISA-SAMA WAS DIFFERENT. SHE WAS SO KIND TO ME. SHE TREATED ME SO WELL. SHE NEVER EVEN FELT SO SCARED OR DISGUSTED. IN FACT, SHE WAS THE VERY FIRST WOMAN WHO REALLY TALKED TO ME. SO I THOUGHT SHE HAD A FEELINGS FOR ME TOO… BUT I AM ALL WRONG… SHE WAS DOING ALL OF IT BECAUSE SHE WAS ONLY USING ME. USING ME TO GET CLOSER TO OUR BOSS."

Nami felt so sorry for Antonio. Yeah, no doubt that she also felt the same, felt so disgusted and scared when she saw him. Now, she did not really felt disgusted but pity.

"What do you mean?"

"GAGAGAGAGAGA. LITTLE GIRL, I AM JUST SAYING THIS KIND OF STUFFS JUST TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK AGAIN NOT TO TELL YOU EVERY STUPID SECRET I HAVE. SO YOU NEED TO REST NOW, AND IF EVER YOU FEEL OKAY AND GOOD YOU CAN WORK AGAIN." Antonio laughed. He finally took his step outside Nami's tiny room, but he suddenly stopped and said. "BUT YOU NEED TO FIX YOURSELF IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SCARE OUR GODS AND GODDESSES, UNDERSTOOD?"

"But you need to tell me why she used you, just only that Antonio."

"SHE USED ME TO GET BOSS APPROVAL. I WAS BOSS SECRETARY AND CHIEF WAITER BUT I BEGGED AND INSISTED BOSS THAT HE SHOULD ACCEPT RISA-SAMA AS HIS SECRETARY. HE DECLINED ME MANY TIMES BUT I KEPT PERSISTING UNTIL HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT HER. WHEN SHE BECAME BOSS SECRETARY SHE SUDDENLY CHANGED OR SHOULD I SAY SHE SUDDENLY SHOWED HER REAL PERSONALITY. SHE STARTED BEING SO MEAN, AND EVEN CALLED ME MANY HATEFUL CUSSES."

"Oh."

"SO I BETTER LEAVE NOW."

"Thank you Antonio." Nami thanked. A beautiful warm smiled appeared from her gorgeous lips.

"IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR YOU CALLED ME BY MY NAME NOT GIANT, UGLY OR BRUTE." Antonio said, blushing. Yes, the giant was blushing nonstop.

"I'll call you by your name if only you become so kind to me."

"GAGAGAGAGA. I BETTER BE KIND TO YOU SO THAT I CAN HEAR YOU CALL ME BY MY NAME."

"Indeed."

"I DID NOT HATE YOU."

HUH?

"What?"

"I DID NOT HATE YOU. I AM JUST DOING IT, THE PUNISHMENT BECAUSE I HAVE NO CHOICE. I ALSO HATE TO HARM YOU. I REALLY HATE IT."

Nami did not say anything at all. She was too speechless to talk.

"AND NO NEED TO THANK ME, AS I AM THE SAVIOR OF ALL BROKENHEARTED GAGAGAGAGA!" Antonio laughed. He then started walking the long dark corridor but his laughter kept echoing all over the place. He was laughing so loud.

"Antonio is right. I am single, beautiful, fresh, young and so sexy. I am way stunning and beautiful than that old Risatan. I don't really understand why that pervert cook chose her over me. He must be blind, blinding by too much erotics." Nami said.

She stood in front of her mirror and started combing her long tangerine hair. "Yes, there are so many rich fishes all over the sea, so I better get one, a rich, young, loving, caring and not pervert. I will definitely move on. I don't want to keep on hoping in a hopeless way. I am so sick and tired of keep crying on the same man all over again."

She then lifted her head to look above her ceiling, imagining she could see Sanji. "I am already done on you. Loving you is finally over. Chasing you is finally halted. I give up! I am tired of keep feeling this pain you keep giving me. I want to extract this pain away from my life."

She looked again from the mirror to look at her face, then stared at her eyes. "Yes, that is right Nami. You better learn to respect, care and love yourself. I know it is going to be so damn hard to forget about him but you don't really have a choice because he already forgot you so you better stop loving him. This is not a fairy tale, you are not a princess and he is not your prince. This is reality and it is never too late for you to write your own love story. You must create it not imagine it. You must create it by letting your prince find you. Tomorrow is another day and this shall pass too."

She believed that her true love was out there and she would definitely find him. She would absolutely meet him not now, not later and not even tomorrow but in the near future.

"I won't let that stupid pervert to keep bringing me down, so better change my plan. Yes definitely!"

She left her mirror and started circling around her room. She placed her hand below her jaw, walking back and forth in circle and thinking. "My new plan is to work harder just to increase my salary, and when I get my money I immediately go back home to my village, where I am belong. Even I am just an unemployed they still accept me and love me without hesitation. Yes, I will leave this place, and I will never ever go back. Never!"

Cry.

Sob.

Weep.

Yes, she had cried so loud and let all her pain, torment, sadness, sorrow and grief took over her emotion just for the last time, hopefully for the last time.

Go on, she just let them out just to get it over and done with.

She cried like tears of river so that she got this part out of her way for a better change.

She cried and letting tears ruined her eyes to get back her own sense of self and life.

She cried and let the pain go just to get back with the right and fighting spirit she had lost.

She cried so she could get ready to date without considering the pain he had given her through.

She cried so she could start ignoring and even manipulating her feelings for him.

She cried and let the tears clean her emotion and saw him as a lesson rather than viewing him as the man she had loved.

She thought to herself that she must act so mature and enough to handle it like an adult. As a fact, big girls did cry if they wanted to. It was also nature's blessed way of letting out emotional pain.

For the first time in weeks but she felt it like first time in forever that she finally took her bath. She soaked herself for about a couple of hours, lying and staying on her little bathtub. She just closed her eyes and took her time to feel the warm of water. It would greatly benefit her mind to think, thinking for the best things she could possibly do just to leave this place.

Yes, it sounded impossible but she did had a bathroom and a little bath. It was like there was another room inside her tiny bedroom. It was so small though, that only her bathtub and toilet bowl fit.

All the stress, hardness, pain and torment she had felt for the past weeks melted away by the time she stepped outside her bathroom. She felt like it was a perfect bath that absolutely delivered freshness to her body and her soul.

She stood in front of her mirror to look at her reflection. "Nami, you need to move on… yes, you can absolutely do it, you are strong!"

She combed her long tangerine hair and then tied them up in a clean bun. She put on a simple makeup that could possibly light up and hide her pale feature, then wore her waitress uniform. Yes, she obviously lost her weight and her skin was still pale but overall she looked so beautiful, stunning as ever.

"Yes, you are stronger than you have ever thought!"

Brokenhearted was really a painful experience but she viewed it as a lesson to improve herself.

Although her mouth kept uttering those words IT'S OVER, which was to give up as in giving up all she felt for him, and not viewing every order he made as a challenge, she was still the same, still in love with him. There was still a part of her wanting to stay, not to easily give up, and to fight for him, that broken heart was just a first step to get closer to him.

It was just a small part of her that was in her heart but the whole her had already decided to go home.

Strong woman?

Yes, she was a strong woman.

Was giving up the right choice?

She really needed to give up just to protect herself, protecting herself from the pain. Yes, she was a strong woman but she was too damn scared to feel the pain of broken heart over and over again. As a matter of fact, she had no other choice because Sanji already gave up on her, so it was her time to give up too.

"OH~ LITTLE GIRL, I TOLD YOU TO JUST LAY ON YOUR BED AND SLEEP. I ALSO TOLD YOU TO JUST TAKE YOUR LEAVE FOR ONE WHOLE WEEK BUT WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Antonio said, He approached Nami quickly when he saw her went inside the kitchen.

"Well, you said earlier that I need to keep myself occupied that's why I am here. I want myself to be occupied by my work." Nami replied. She was really smiling.

"IF YOU SAY SO THEN I SHOULD NOT DECLINE."

"Yes."

"OH RIGHT. I AM JUST SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN MADAM, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS AND STUNNING TODAY." Antonio praised. He even knelt down and took Nami's hand then kissed it so lovingly.

"Oh why, thank you but you don't have to do that, please stand up Antonio." Nami said. She was gesturing Antonio to stand up. 'That's right Antonio, you need to praise me, praise my beauty and keep on drooling hahahaha!'

"NO, YOUR PERFECT BEAUTY DESERVES TO BE PRAISE!"

"It all thanks to you Antonio." Nami thanked. She just did all her best to act so pretty and seduce him.

"OH COME ON, STOP FLATTERING ME~" Antonio said happily. He was even dancing like a shy kid though he looked so damn disgusted. It was like a big giant full of hair dancing like a kid. He was also trying to hide his super blushing face.

'Gotcha giant, you are so clear to read just like reading a map. I better need to get your devotion and trust just and then use you as my shield.' Nami thought. She smiled so seductively, that absolutely drove Antonio into madly in love hippopotamus.

But suddenly…

"Oh so you are here?" Risa suddenly interrupted. She was crossing her arms above her chest and looking so pissed. She was glaring right directly at Nami.

"AH GOOD DAY RISA-SAMA!" Antonio greeted. He bowed down in front of Risa just to prostrate like a sincere knight to his queen.

Nami's hands immediately formed into tight fists, clenching them hardly. She was definitely boiling in too much rage, so desperately wanting to jolt and punch Risatan right on her face.

She really in a great need to kill that bitch.

Oh why?

When Nami's eyes landed to Risa, her brain abruptly traveled to the painful scene she had seen the night of her heart had broken and the scene she had tried to forget. As a matter of fact, Nami had not actually heard what Risa was trying to say because all she could hear right now was Risa's pleasurable moans.

Her moans that kept ringing right in her ears.

"So you finally show up?" Risa said.

Ah~ Yes~ Don't stop~ Yes yes~ these were the only words Nami heard right now.

"Where have you been these few days?" Risa scolded.

Ah~ Yes~ Don't stop~ Yes yes~ the moans kept continuing on Nami's head.

"Did I give you a permission to leave your job?" Risa continued.

Ah~ Yes~ Don't stop~ Yes yes~ the moans never stopped. What the heck wrong with her.

"Hey speak up you bitch, your superior is talking to you. Don't act like a stupid deaf!" Risa chided. She began walking toward Nami, kept swaying her buttocks.

Ah~ Yes~ Don't stop~ Yes yes~ the moans were getting louder in every step Risa was making.

"SPEAK UP!" Risa yelled. She extended her hand to slap Nami but right away Nami used that as an opening to grab Risa's hand, reciprocating her by gripping her hand so damn tightly.

"SHUT UP BITCH!" Nami yelled back. She used all strength and gripped Risa's wrist, wanting to break it.

"Ouch! Let me go!" Risa wailed. She tried to pull her hand away from Nami but Nami kept tightening her grip.

"What if I say I don't want? What will you do?" Nami asked. She raised her eyebrow to mock Risa. She even used both her hands to grip and tear Risa's wrist.

"ANTONIO! what are you looking at? Stop her! Stop her! Punish her right now!" Risa shouted. She immediately shifted her gaze to look at her sincere knight, the Antonio.

But Antonio just stood there without doing any movement. He just stood there watching at them.

"ANTONIO, you ugly stupid! Are you listening to me? Do something to stop her. don't just stand there and watch… you stupid!" Risa screamed.

"I AM SORRY RISA-SAMA BUT NAMI-SAMA DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG TO BE PUNISHED. IN FACT, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BULLIED HER FIRST, SO IT IS REALLY A TIE." Antonio explained, scratching his giant head.

WHAT?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

"Whaaaaat? Are you saying that you are not going to follow my order?" Risa huffed. She was really shocked, her eyes kept stretching for too much shock.

Nami was the same too. She was too shock, too speechless.

"ABSOLUTELY RISA-SAMA. I AM SORRY." Antonio apologized. He completely ignored his Risa-sama's order then let his entire attention focused to Nami, only to Nami alone.

"How dare you to decline my order! You ugly!" Risa cursed. She was boiling in too much anger.

"YOU ARE JUST A SECRETARY NOT OUR BOSS, RISA-SAMA." Antonio snapped.

"Right! Do you hear it bitch? As far as I know, a secretary's duty is to write and inform her boss schedule not acting like a bitchy boss!" Nami said wickedly. She then let Risa's wrist free by pushing her hardly away from her.

"How dare you!" Risa shrieked to the tip of her voice, then she walked angrily and slapped Antonio right on his face. "Remember this ugly man and also you bitch that I will definitely make sure to fire both of you. I will punish you by making both of your lives suffer. Hell will wait for both of you. I will definitely do it no matter what it will cost." She cursed. She quickly stormed outside the kitchen.

"NAMI-SAMA, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Antonio asked. He was absolutely worried.

"Yeah." Nami replied, slowly facing her new savior Antonio. "You know Antonio, it feels definitely good when I did it to that bitch. She is actually crying."

"BUT BE CAREFUL NAMI-SAMA BECAUSE i KNOW RISA-SAMA. I KNOW THAT SHE WILL DEFINITELY DO WHAT SHE HAS SAID EARLIER. OUR CO-WORKERS OBEY RISA-SAMA AS THEIR OWN BOSS BECAUSE THEY ALL BELIEVE THAT RISA-SAMA IS THE FUTURE WIFE OF BOSS BLACK LEG. SO ABSOLUTELY THEY WILL FOLLOW HER, EVEN DOING ANYTHING JUST TO PLEASE HER. I AM JUST WORRY FOR YOUR SAFETY," Antonio warned. Then suddenly out of the old blue, his rough hand wandered to hold Nami's hand. "BUT DO NOT WORRY I WILL GOING TO PROTECT YOU, I WILL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT YOU WITH ALL MY LIFE."

'Actually no need… I don't realy need you because you are more scarier than them.' Nami thought. She immediately withdrewn Antonio's touch from her hand.

"SO FROM NOW ON… PLEASE TAKE CARE OF ME ESPECIALLY MY HEART." Antonio thrilled, blushing nonstop.

'YUCKS! NO WAY!'

So it confirmed that this giant hairy Antonio was our navigator superman.

'No way, like hell… definitely not, he is way more ugliest and disgusting to be my savior.'

Our navigator life began again as a waitress in All Blue restaurant after experiencing the pain of broken heart. But this time she was not alone because she was with her superman who was always there beside her just to protect and save her.

Yes, the devil Risa carried out her oath of making our navigator and Antonio lives suffered. She did really anything just to make them suffered for the fullest by kept punishing them every single second of their lives.

But as expected from Nami's superman, he had never failed from protecting his Nami-sama. He kept doing anything just to get the punishment and not letting any punishment touched Nami.

Yes, Nami was happy about that. She really appreciated each and every sacrifice he had endure just for her, but she felt really annoyed at the same time because of his touchy overwhelming protection.
