Dark Autumn's

16. The Reasons *2

Val still can't stop. Just tell him this is a punishment for him. Val doesn't know if the curse is getting more painful with something forcing her to do something she doesn't want at all.

And for the umpteenth time Henny made her name. That woman really did not let go of herself in just one go.

Maddened. It doesn't really make sense, but Val can't do anything about it. Everything depends on him. He even swore he would never forgive himself if Lea found out about this.

The two gasped behind a thick blanket that was still filled with the remains of the destroyed Rose flower.

Val wakes up from her sleep and grabs her clothes and puts them back on.

"You're coming back? It's still raining outside, and your face still looks so exhausted!" henny said with a sneer. "You want to meet him with a face like that?"

Val looked at the wall clock that had been a witness to this madness. At one in the morning.

"No problem! He must be sleeping! " the ideal while tying the side rope of his bathrobe.

Val had finished her dress and rushed to grab the doorknob, turning around once more to link her gaze to Henny.

"Never touch Leah! Or you're dealing with me! "

Val left, his two legs still shaking he was forced to pass through the torrent of rain that still soaked the earth.

Until he arrived in front of a private room where Lea might be sleeping in there.

With a slightly wet shirt and a messy face and mane, Val entered the room. His eyes widened when he did not find Lea there. He almost ran back out if he hadn't seen Lea coming out of the bathroom.

The sapphire blue netra meets the hazel Lea. Her expression was so flat, maybe she was sleepy. Think Val.

That's all he found there. He saw Lea return to bed and put her blanket back up without saying anything in the next three seconds.

"You lied to me, didn't you? "

That's all, there's nothing else Lea said. Val was surprised and thought it was possible that Lea was talking in a dream; delirious, because Lea did not move a bit or look at him while talking.

Val rushed into the bathroom as he had planned. It took ten minutes to get in there, and it was the fastest time on Val's record when he was in there.

Rushing back down, Val turned his back on Lea. Trying to keep a sharp but increasingly wide open when Lea connect his sentence which a few minutes ago he pause.

"There are thousands of lies in the world, but why should he? "

Val was wide-eyed to realize Lea had not been shut down. Trying to stay calm, turning around to catch the presence of Lea who currently looks devastated.

"Whatchu mean? "

Smiling sarcastically, Lea shed her tears. He is far from being okay at the moment.

"You talk like nothing happened! " the Lea sarcasm is sharp.

Lea took off her blanket and showed a mark on her wrist. Red with a little lightning resembling fire, Lea marble skin also blushed because of the heat and pain that arise.

Val got up, grabbed Lea's palm forcefully and watched the sign pass. Lea hissing endured the pain.

Val knew very well, the sign shimmered probably because he committed treason to the owner of a sign that was none other than Lea.

"Tell me, when will this sign disappear?! " Lea paused, chose to wipe her tears and spoke again. "What if I gave you a child? Or--"

Val can't say anything. Seen Leah who was trying to organize herself to look tough. "-- if I die? "[]
