Cursed And Love's

25: Do not be afraid

Scotland, 2014.

Serena was shocked as Van suddenly brushed his hand away violently, the man moved back as Serena approached him. Though the girl was worried because she saw Van who was trembling like a frightened person, but now she was made even more confused by Van's attitude that changed in a short time.

"What's wrong?" Serena asked, now the worry of the girl being.

Van muttered, I don't know what he said from his red lips.

"J-don't say much.., t-can't.., don't...." The man continued to tremble.

Serena was getting confused, she had never seen Van like that before. "Hey, Van...." The girl tried to approach Van as calmly as possible.

But free, Van does not want to be touched. The more Serena approached, the more Van moved away and kept her distance. Now the man started running towards the back door.

"Hey! Wait, V-van!" Serena panicked, she immediately chased after the man.

Who should be scared, actually?

Serena was quite frustrated now, she was still in shock about the injury, but now she was preoccupied by Van who again acted this strangely.

Van walks quickly into the back garden, he'll be in the woods soon. But Serena managed to catch up with him, her hand reaching the back end of the man's shirt until Van's steps came to a halt.

"You why the hell? Why are you suddenly moving away from me?!" Upset Serena, now clasped her hand tightly to Van's wrist to keep the man from moving away again.

There was no answer, Van just looked down. Now that the man's body felt cold, Serena who was holding onto his wrist started to become aware of it.

Is his body this cold?

The girl moved, and now they're facing off.

"Hey..., what's wrong with you? Why such a fear?" Serena spoke softly. "Do you think I'm mad at you again?" Added slowly.

Still no sahutan, Van silent a thousand languages. But it was only for a moment, as Serena slowly grabbed her face. His lentic fingers flicked the bangs of Van covering half the man's face, now could be seen clearly a pair of yellow neutrals in the trough of eyes that were so cute.

"Hey?" Call Serena softly, now her hands are cupping the man's pale face.

Van was still silent, but his eyes looked at Serena. It was my gaze that seemed to hold so much sadness there. "Why didn't you hit me...." Sluggishly.

Serena frowned confusedly, she did not understand the meaning of Van's words just now. "What's? Why would I hit you?" Ask the girl in wonder.

Van looked down again, both of his heavy hands raised and grasped the hand of Serena who was cupping her face.

"If you are not careful, you will be beaten...." He said, "the uncle said so".

Serena fell silent, to be honest she still did not fully understand the man's words. But he knew if what Van said had anything to do with his past with his uncle or who it was.

"No one, no one's gonna hit you." Firmly Serena, the gray netra stared softly.

Serena released her hand, slowly the girl approached. While Van was frozen, he fell silent as his body was suddenly hugged tightly. Serena patted the man's back.

"It's okay, just show me, don't let anyone else see it." Serena is calming.

Silence, only the sound of birds singing could be heard. The flower garden was filled with butterflies, and if anyone saw them now like that then someone else would think that Van and Serena were lovers.

Van was still silent, he stared at the tip of Serena's head which was right in her field. That girl is so small.

Serena immediately let go of her embrace on the man's body, and now she was clumsy.

"Ah..., i-that," The girl muttered indistinctly, "BOOK! Yeah, in the book, didn't you say that?" Smoke again.

Van blinked his eyes innocently, now the look on the man's face and gaze was not as cold as before. "True, the book says so," said Van plainly, he nodded quickly like a child giving consent.

Shit...., why would I do that anyway?!

Serena wanted to immediately throw her face away, but fortunately Van was innocent like a child.

"Flower, thank you." Van thrusts a sprig of white roses at Serena.

The girl fell silent, and again Van gave her flowers as he thanked her.

"Pfft, basic," Kekeh Serena quietly, for some reason now she feels relieved.

Though this was a flower from my garden as well, this child was giving me an item that was clearly mine from the beginning....

Serena unconsciously smiled faintly, thinking about it made her anxious with Van's innocent behavior.

"I have to open a shop, we won't be able to eat well if I fall poor for not working." Said Serena, the girl broke the rose stalk that Van had just given her and put it in the man's shirt bag. "Well, now you're like a prince." Serena.

Van stared at the flower in his pocket, "prince...." Mumbled slowly.

"Yes, sweet prince." Serena said with a smile.

"I want to work too, Louis says I have to pay if I stay with Flowers" Van scratched his non-itchy nape, the man looked clumsy.

Serena frowned, of course it was impossible. It would be dangerous if Van wandered around without any identity, coupled with all the male oddities. There was no way Serena would let him work outside or go anywhere.

"I didn't ask you to pay for a place to live, I told you to stay here from the beginning." Serena said flatly, although she was actually upset with Louis who again said something strange like this to the Van behind her.

"But I also want to work, later Flowers can be poor...." Van muttered softly, now the look on his face was like a plain little boy who failed to get a toy.

Serena sighed, "you can help me in the shop, it's also called work." Strictly speaking Serena, he did not want to prolong this matter.

Van looked at Serena with a sparkling gaze, "work? I'm already working?" Excited speech.

Serena smiled faintly, although it actually looked more like a tired smile. "Yes, now let's get to work, help me cut the flowers." Say the girl while pulling Van along with her.

Without them noticing, since earlier someone had been watching them from the back door. His blue eyes flashed coldly, both of those burly hands clenched. A clear fog of anger was visible in her eyes, but she preferred to leave as soon as she saw Van and Serena returning home.
