Bloody Weekend

Chapter 19

Karen Clark stopped and turned to Peter Hamilton beside her. Then he smiled. A smile that captivates and makes men bend their knees.

"How do you think Peter."

Peter was silent for a moment. He thought of a breakup with Karen Clark fifteen years ago. Although it has passed for so long but it turns out the shadow of the woman still haunts him. Blue sea . White sand. The sun is shining brightly. The summer weather in St Luis that he missed. All of this has been tried to be forgotten and buried deep inside. But today, tonight it's all coming out when she saw Karen Clark last night.

Fifteen years ago he was just a young man blinded by love. And it is because of that love that he is tormented by birth and inner. But tonight when faced with the past. He will not run away again like he used to.

******

The time was four o'clock in the morning when Peter Hamilton came out of the forest through the frenzied hillsides of the flower fields. The bright moon made it easier for him to get home. He took a deep breath. Now he is a mature man. Thinking logically and also able to master himself.

He felt that the heavy burden he had been carrying all this time was gone. He's been free. He became Peter Hamilton. A renowned specialist doctor and for her now a woman like Karen Clark means nothing either.

Karen Clark is her past. A long time ago he forgot. He used to feel squeezed by a boulder maybe his hazy self-image of Karen made a heavy burden on his heart. And last night when Karen came in somehow she felt that her burden would be gone.

And now she's convinced she's been freed from a shadow named Karen Clark. And now the future will meet him. The future is with Natasha and her two children. How Natasha and Graciela thought of seeing her go out with Karen.

She's with Karen for four hours. The woman was like a robber who just came and left with his stolen goods. That Peter Hamilton is the stolen bqrang. He wondered how others would react to this.

Natasha she doesn't want to lose herself. His wife who although not beautiful but obey all her wishes. He did not want to lose his calm all this time. For him it is not difficult to explain to Graciela. But how to explain to Natasha.

Hopefully Natasha doesn't think that strangely strange she thought. Actually how long he's known Natasha. He's not sure either. Natasha will always believe whatever she says. But when she went to follow Karen how she looked and what Natasha thought. He wants to know.

Is his face like a man in drunk love ?Or is it just courtesy. He did not know how to look at his own face. I don't know why he was scared now. The feeling of fear had come.

Now he is sure that the residents of the house have slept. The front door opened as left by William Cavendish. It felt like he heard something faint. She was afraid that someone would follow her to Karen's place. He listened carefully as if the person had entered through the back door of the kitchen.

He looked at every window. Look for lights or curtains that are open. Graciela's room she's so sure. Graciela lover of her heart. He doesn't want to lose Graciela. He can't lose himself.

It felt like taking some small stones and throwing them into the window of Graciela's room. I would love to pour out his heart all. Including us they talk about him. Peter Hamilton is like running away. It's true he ran away. Escape from the shackles of a love chain named Karen Clark. But today. Today he is finally free.

Suddenly he cursed his folly and madness. What would Natasha think if she was coming back in the morning. And also the Cavendish family what would they think of him.

But of course he's not so hostile to the Cavendish family's thinking. Because for those in force are Julia Cavendish's rules and for Julia anything that is unusual for a normal person. For him it makes sense and is fun.

Now he only had to think of one person. Natasha's. Natasha is not a Cavendish. He thinks differently than all of them. He should immediately meet with Natasha and explain the matter.

It's possible it was Natasha who followed him last night from behind. He can't be so sure about it. After quite a while he thought it seemed like he didn't know much about Natasha. Her mind was still busy spinning if Natasha knew .....

Quickly at the brink of that thought. Natasha wasn't smart enough to know what to expect. He certainly wouldn't know. Now Natasha must have been fast asleep and in a dreamland.

He entered the house and locked the door again. He turned off the lights he left on. Then go up the stairs and turn off the hallway lights. Then turn the doorknob of his own room. And he went into his room.

He could hear the sound of Natasha's breath sleeping. Natasha woke up when she heard Peter open the door. Natasha said

"Peter ?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What time is Peter?"

"I don't know. Sorry to wake you up. I had to go in and have a drink with him." Peter replied in a sleepy tone.

"Allah . Good night, Peter."

Natasha quickly lay down again on her bed.

He felt himself quite lucky. Natasha was not suspicious in the least. She's secure. But until when his luck will be able to last. Someday his luck will run out.

He quickly changed his clothes and went up to his bed. He remembered the prophecy of his daughter Lilian. Her daughter said that the one above her was the one who mastered it. Yes, because it does. But that was not anymore. She is free to be herself. To be Peter Hamilton.
