A Wife's Escape

I'll End It All Now!

Nisa turned her face away. "I-I .. can't come with you, Joe. I appreciate your offer, but I'm sorry .. I can't take it."

"Why? Do you still feel at home in a place where no one appreciates you at all?" jonathan asked with a slightly disappointed expression. 

"There are still my comrades, they I've considered to be my own family. You're wrong to think that no one appreciates me anymore. I have a responsibility here, I can't just ignore it and go with you to Italy."

"..." - ".Jonathan snorted, then he suddenly said, "Is that really your only reason? If so, then you can just talk to them, tell them my identity to those who have great influence in Italy. They'll understand what's in it if you have a relationship with me."

"But .. geographical location also needs to be considered, this country is in Asia, while Italy is in Europe. I'm not ready to start transcontinental cooperation ... I'm still not quite capable enough" Nisa replied without looking at Jonathan.

"Hey, you don't put yourself down. I believe if you're capable, you can try it first! If you're still not sure after trying, you can stop."

"But Jonathan ... What if at the beginning I made a mistake?"

"You're too much but, Nisa! Why are you always looking for excuses?" jonathan asked impatiently.

For a moment Nisa fell silent, then with a moody expression she said, "You're selfish, Joe ..."

"Some from where? I'm doing this for you too, not just because I'm alone!"

"But you seem to force me to make a choice, and I don't want to give you empty hope. Please don't make my situation any harder, now all I need is time to think about how I'm going to be."

"Once again I was faced with this shitty situation. Although I am a bad person, I also have a heart. I can also feel sick of being played! First Ricky, then Keyran, now you. I'm not something you guys can just pass!"

Jonathan is stunned, he tries to grab Nisa's hand but Nisa deliberately avoids him. "Nisa .. listen to me, they both might disappoint you, but I'll never do that."

Nisa did not say a word, Jonathan then said again, "Do you still hope that your relationship with Keyran will return to its original state?"

"..."

"Nisa, stop acting like a bo-man"

TOK TOK!

Jonathan's words stopped at the sound of knocking on the door. Nisa then said, "Who?"

"It's me" replied someone behind the door. That person's voice was very familiar in Nisa's ears.

"Ah, uncle Morgan! Uncle!"

Nisa immediately left the balcony to open the door, on the other hand Jonathan who was curious also followed Nisa. As the door opened, Jonathan was shocked to see the figure of a middle-aged man sitting on top of an electric wheelchair.

That man was Morgan, he was someone no less influential than Nisa's father who was the first generation. Morgan was also shocked because in Nisa's room there was a foreign man who she had just seen for the first time.

"Wah .. Did uncle bother you? You seem to be having fun" Morgan said with a grin as if she was insinuating Nisa.

"Uncle don't think of anything! He's my friend, we just drink together!" deny Nisa.

"Oh, so you start with drinking~"

"Uncle ...! We both just drank, that's all! What business is Uncle Morgan looking for me for?"

"Oh that, I just wanted to let you know if you have a special guest. An angel came to purify the demon queen. That's all I want to say, uncle go first." Morgan immediately left with his wheelchair.

Jonathan, who was still a little confused, said, "Is he the uncle you were referring to? When you told me that, he sounded great. Why is he in a wheelchair?"

"It was my father's doing, I don't know what they were fighting about and then Uncle Morgan ended up with an injury to his leg. Actually now he can still walk, it's just his ability to be reduced, after all he said if more comfortable using a wheelchair."

"Oh so ... Then, who does he mean by that special guest?"

Nisa sighed. "He was the one who made a good impression about YOLO. He must have gone mad for coming here, I must see him immediately!"

Nisa goes straight out of the room and goes to the casino area, precisely in the Golden Eyes area which is the first area to receive visitors. The curious Jonathan decides to follow Nisa, even though he is a little behind to keep his distance.

Arriving at the Golden Eyes area, Nisa saw many casino employees lined up and bowed to greet her. At the end of the line of servants, Nisa saw Ricky standing alone bravely.

Nisa ignores the remarks aimed at her, she chooses to go straight to Ricky.

Ricky smiled faintly as Nisa had stood right before him. "Thank God you're okay."

"Why are you here?!" asked Nisa in a harsh tone.

"I just want to see how you are. And also ... asked one thing of you," Ricky replied with a calm expression.

"What do you want to ask, huh?! What do I owe you? Or do you want to ask me to stop again?! If that's true, then my answer is no!"

"Oh, so it turned out to be him," muttered Jonathan from a distance who then approached and stood behind Nisa.

"You ... are here?! Since when?!" Ricky can't believe that Jonathan met Nisa earlier than he did.

"Heh, I've been coming since when did what have to do with you? Do you feel like I stole the start?" Jonathan then crossed paths, now he feels far superior to Ricky.

"Ck, ignore him! I asked once again why are you here?!" nisa asked impatiently.

Ricky sighed, then looked into Nisa's eyes fixedly. "Go back, Nisa, if you keep doing this then nothing good will happen."

Nisa flinches at Ricky's request, and suddenly she pulls Ricky's hand. "Follow me!"

"Hey, are you going to take her to the same room as I did?" jonathan said that immediately made Ricky glare because of misunderstanding.

"That's real?" ricky asked in disbelief.

"Shut up and come with me!" nisa snapped while dragging Ricky along with her.

"But where are you taking me?" ask Ricky.

"Get out of here! I'll make everything clear! I'll end it all now! I'm the one who brought you here, now I'm the one who's gonna drag you out of here!"

Nisa drags Ricky out of the casino rudely. While the guards guarding the entrance, they immediately shut the door so that no one would see Nisa with Ricky.

"Go away from here!" nisa yelled at Ricky.

"No! I will only leave if you also leave this place! Please come back Nisa!"

"Where do you mean back, huh?! My family no longer cares about me, the person I always help and I consider as a friend chose to break up with me! Even my own husband who is the closest person to me wants me to get away! Where should I go back?! Back to being the innocent Nisa who loves you and is willing to do anything to be with you, is that what you want?!"

"..." - ".Ricky is silent, he does not know what kind of answer to the question from Nisa. She can't lie to her heart that still wants and loves Nisa. He was eager to acknowledge that with his mouth, but he was hindered by the status they had now.

"..." - ".Ricky remained silent. Nisa then smiled bitterly and released her clutches from Ricky's body.

"I'm guessing you can't answer ... Indeed in this world only this place can accept me completely! This is the only place I can call home! But you asked me to come back, do you want me to go back to a place that's not my home?!"

"Nisa .. believe me if this isn't your home, this is just where you stop when you're tired!" ricky yells at trying to convince Nisa.

"Where is my house?! If this isn't my house, it means I don't have a house!"

"Home is a place where you can feel comfortable, but in this place you only feel pleasure as your escape!"

For a moment Nisa was stunned, then she lowered her head. "You're just talking Ricky bullshit. It's up to you to be a wise-looking human, just assume you're currently lecturing in front of a statue. It's free if you still insist, you'd better go."

"No! You think if you leave then the problem will be solved just like that? You have to face it, Nisa!"

"5 minutes" Nisa said in a soft voice.

"What did you say?" ask Ricky who wants to make sure one more time.

"Your time is 5 minutes. If you're still here until the deadline is up, I won't guarantee your safety. Even if the worst happens to you, I'll just pretend I don't know."

"Nisa, do you think this way can drive me away?!" ricky asked in disbelief.

Nisa raised her face, she showed a flat expression. "4 minutes 38 seconds, time goes on."

After saying that Nisa immediately turned to leave Ricky alone outside the casino. As for Ricky, he finally realized that there was no hope for Nisa to return as he wanted. He finally left with disappointment.

On the other hand Nisa who had re-entered into the casino for a moment she stopped stepping. He glanced at one of the guards and said, "Follow him, make sure if he's okay until home."

"Good!" he replied while bowing.

Nisa stepped back, when she came back it turned out that she saw Jonathan who was still waiting for her in the same place.

"Oh, so he finally got you kicked out?" ask Jonathan.

"That's ... By the way, do you want to accompany me for a drink?"

"Yes, are you interested if we fight who's the strongest drinker?"

"As it may be, I have never lost to anyone!" nisa said with an enthusiastic smile.

"Haha, I'm being challenged!"

The two of them then turned to the bar area. Nisa asks the waiters to bring as much beer as possible to their table. As the glass cups filled with beer, Nisa who saw that for a moment smiled bitterly. "..."- ".

It doesn't matter if what Ricky says is true. It doesn't matter if I don't have a home. It doesn't matter if I run away from trouble. Now all I want is to drink a lot of beer so I can forget about my problems. Even if it was just for a moment, all these alcoholic beverages would be my escape.

"Hey, why are you daydreaming?" jonathan asked while patting Nisa on the shoulder.

"Eh?! B-nothing! Then let's get started!"

Jonathan smiled. "All right! I won't budge!"

Nisa drinks the first glass of beer just like water, as well as Jonathan. They both went straight to the second glass. For the third and next glasses still they both showed absolutely no signs of drunkenness.

Even the servants there could not correctly calculate how many beers the two of them had spent. For other visitors this is an interesting spectacle. However, they all don't know if this is a fight between a local gangster boss and an Italian mafia boss.

Jonathan continues to accompany every sip of beer that Nisa drinks. He acted as if he was on balance with Nisa. Until the moment they took the glass that somehow to how much, suddenly Nisa so slowed down.

For the first time Nisa suffered a defeat in a drinking match, at this time she was not aware of anything. He closed his eyes comfortably, leaning against the soft sofa he was sitting on.

"Enough, you guys just sort out the rest!" jonathan's pinta to the waiter.

"Okay sir," the waiter replied while nodding.

Suddenly a man came, he was the Casino Manager of the current Grizz Glory Casino. Without further ado he immediately carried the unconscious Nisa.

"Wait on! You're who?" jonathan asked while preventing the man from taking Nisa away.

"I'm Marcell," he replied with a flat expression.

"Oh, I know you! Nisa mentioned you once. But where are you going to take him?"

"To her room, she must rest."

"I know his room, VVIP number 11. You can trust Nisa to me, so let me carry her!"

For a moment Marcell was stunned, with a cynical look at Jonathan and said, "The sky should be treated as the sky. Don't think you can hug the sky."

"The sky?" jonathan asked with a confused face.

"Nisa is my sky. If the heavens want anything, then I must fulfill it. The sky is always above everything, so never lower the sky. Right now my sky is overcast, I'm willing to do whatever it takes for my sky to clear again."

"..." - ".Jonathan was silent, he finally understood what Marcell meant.

Ah, now I get it. This person was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Nisa, but he called Nisa the sky. It can be interpreted if this is not love, but devotion. Haha, Nisa is indeed amazing for having this kind of person by her side.

"All right, I get it. But what's wrong with trying? Maybe I am someone who can make your sky bright again" Jonathan said with a smile.

"I'm gonna try to trust you. People who are noticed by the sky are never careless."

Jonathan was finally satisfied to convince Marcell. Nisa is currently inside her arms. He then carried Nisa to go to the number 11 VVIP room that he had previously entered.

Arriving in the room, Jonathan dropped Nisa on the bed with caution. For a moment he was stunned when he saw the innocent face of Nisa who was sound asleep.

"It's so sweet" Jonathan murmured.

However, as hard as it is trying Jonathan still fails to turn his attention to Nisa. He seemed to have been hypnotized by the woman who had been the idol of his heart all along.

Jonathan tidied up the hair that slightly blocked Nisa's face. He looked at those seductive looking ranum lips. Slowly he approached, also dimming his eyes. Just a little more he was finally able to give a kiss full of tenderness on those lips.

"Keyelan ..."

Jonathan instantly turned his head when he heard what Nisa said. He had already lost his original intent, then he turned his face away with a bitter smile. "Even when you're unconscious, what you're calling is him."

You're right Nisa, I'm a selfish person. Though you have clearly shown that you do not return my feelings, but I still insist on staying near you. Forgive me for being too selfish, forgive me for wanting you too much ...
