The next
morning, Lina woke up from a miserable sleep. She literally cried half the night.
For the first time in life, she had no clue on what to do. She doesn't have the
power that Gaav has. She doesn't have the money he has. She is for the first
time powerless. And she hates that.
Damn. There
is something I gotta do…is there any solution to this? Jesus. I hate those
uppity rich bastards. Well maybe I can sneak out…after all. It's only 6:30. I
can still hear those two uglies snoring away. I'll sneak and go back to them.
Lina quickly and
quietly got up from the bed, and sneaked out of her room. She softly crept down
the stairs and she was almost at the front door, when she heard Gaav shouting
out some crazy orders. Lina needless to say got so startled, that she literally
ran out of the front door and the gate. She went out to the main street after
fighting her way out of the maze of alleyways.
Made it. Now
all I have to do is get a taxi…
Lina put her hand out and was praying she get a taxi very fast. She gave the
driver the direction to her apartment. She leaned back on the seat and let out
a huge sigh. Made it. Now I am going to surprise Zelgadiss!!
Soon she was
outside of her apartment. She ran inside and rang the doorbell. She was
expecting Zelgadiss to be at the door; instead her father was at the door with
a worried look. "DAD!" Lina happily glomped her father. "I am home!"
Beo stared at
her, after Lina stepped back. "How'd you get here?"
"I snuck out
dad. I snuck out while they were sleeping." Lina grinned and flashed her
victory symbol at him.
Beo nodded. "I
think you better go back to Gaav dear."
Lina was
shocked. "You don't want me here?"
"Lina. I love
you dearly. I want you here, I do. But you have to go live with Gaav now."
"I don't want to
live with…" Lina grew mad. "Whose side are you on dad? I thought you were on
mine!"
Beo sighed
heavily. "Lina. I honestly love you, but you have to go live with him now. I
don't like it anymore than you do, but that's what has to be."
Lina face grew
dark. "Where's Zelgadiss dad?"
"He didn't come
in last night. I have no idea where he is." Beo turned around. "I think he took
all this very hard."
I don't blame
him… "Fine. Let me go
find him." Lina leaned over and hug her father. "I'll be back with him."
Lina jogged down
the stair and Beo miserably looked after her. Lina. I'll always love you as
my daughter…
~*~*~*~
Zel looked
around the surrounding. He was at the park where he was just with Lina
yesterday. This was their place. It was his most favorite place. He had
discovered this place accidentally couple years ago. This particular area of
the park was his favorite part. There was a small bench nearby where him and
Lina like to sit and talk for long hours. The entire place was surrounded by
many different kinds of trees. Big ones, small ones, many kinds! It made the
place so peaceful. It was faraway from the main street, so no sounds of
civilization were heard until you walked out of the park. Just knowing that a
place like that existed in the polluted city of Seoul, would amaze anyone.
Zel inhaled
deeply, the scent of nature. Then he slumped against the pine tree that was his
favorite. This is beyond crazy. I never would have expected Lina to be
related to Gaav! No! I always thought that Beo and her were father, daughter! I
just can't seem to accept this. I just can't. Knowing how rich Gaav is, he'll
try to separate us, but no way in hell will I give in that easily!! I don't
care if that means taking my life, but I am going to keep her! Zel kept on
going on his angry thought rambling when a soft hand touched his shoulder. The
light touch startled him and he jumped about two feet in the air. He turned
around and saw Lina cracking her head off. What…? How did she…? He
stared at her speechless.
Lina smirked at
him. "No 'hello' or anything Zel? I see how you really feel about me now!!"
Zel and Lina
just stared at each other for long time. The gentle wind was blowing all around
them. To both of them, time seems to have stopped. Zelgadiss slowly got out of
his stupefied form, and walked up to his lover. He reached out his arms and
gently embraced her. Lina wrapped her arms around his neck and secured it. Zel
had one arm around her slim waist, while the other was stroking her silky hair.
Both at the same time were only thinking one thing: how they both wished that
time would stop right there and they could be like that for eternity.
"How? How did
you get here? Did Gaav give in?" Zelgadiss whispered huskily in her ear.
Lina shook her
head against his shoulder. "No. I snuck out."
Zel let out a
hearty laugh. "So typical of you Lina. So typical." Zel continued to laugh and
Lina joined in.
Maybe dad is
right…maybe I should go back to Gaav or both dad and Zel might get hurt. But I
don't want to live with him. However their safety is much more of concern than
the fact that I am living with Gaav.
She hugged him tighter, while thinking of that. I love him so much…and he
ain't going to like what I am going to say next…
"I think I
better go back…" Lina forced herself to whisper that to him. Indeed she felt
him stiffened in her grasp. She withdrew away from him. "I am sorry. I'll still
sneak around to come here, but I got to go now, before I lose my privileges."
"No. Lina, there
has to be a better way than this." Zelgadiss pleaded with her. "Please. Don't
go back there."
Lina glanced at
him and nearly started to cry. The look in his eyes was so enduring with hurt
that it hurt to even look at him. "This was meant to be Zel. I'll still come
and see you, but I'm going to go live with Gaav."
"But you don't
deserve to live with that man!" Zel cried angrily.
"I'm sorry…"
Lina's voice was barely a whisper.
Meanwhile…
"So how would
you like to work for my company?" Gaav smirked at the young man sitting in
front of him.
"Well. I guess…"
the man hesitated. "I would like to think this over…"
"Well I'll pay
you well. You're a man with a brain. I like you son. I'll make you my top
worker. You will be promoted to executive position in about two month. How
about that?"
"I guess…" the
man smiled. "Why not."
"Good. Then you
have to always follow my command. Got that?"
"Got that sir.
Thank you for hiring me."
Back to the
park…
"Zel…" Lina said
with sadness visible in her voice. "I am sorry. But this is my choice. Please.
If you truly loved me, you'd respect whatever I choose to do."
Zel knew that
she got him there. Dammit. She knows me too well. She got me into a corner
that I can't get myself out of now. Zel sighed and struggled to keep calm.
"Lina. I…honestly. You do not deserve that kind of person as your dad!"
"I know. But
maybe he won't be all that bad you know. After all we just known him for one
day." Lina smiled forcefully. "Please Zel. Don't fight me on this." Lina then
took this cue to head back to Gaav's house.
Zelgadiss didn't
say anything. He just stared after her and walked the other way…
~*~*~*~
"Hey
Zelgadiss!!" Xelloss nearly shouted over the phone. "Guess what!"
"What?" Zel
asked with no interest whatsoever.
"I got a job with Gaav's company!!"
