Clary is shocked to find herself sleeping in a hugging position with Mike. He immediately let go of his embrace and rose from his sleep. Mike, who felt a movement, opened his eyes and found that Clary was sitting next to him.
" Are you awake?" mike asked in a typical sound of people waking up. Clary just kept quiet and didn't answer Mike's question. " Oh shit, im late" grumbled Mike as he looked at the clock still coiled in his hand. He immediately got up and called ART to clean the reading room because Clary had already left.
As usual they gathered at the dinner table for breakfast together. This time it wasn't just Mr. Carlos, his mother, his two sons and of course today there were Kimberly and Jonatan joining them.
" A C ???!!!" Kimberly got up from her seat and ran to hug Clary's body and kissed her cheek.
" Stop it Kim" Clary tries to keep Kimberly's hand out of her body.
" Hey whats wrong? They hurt you again?" Kimberly glared her eyes at her father and Mike, when she found Clary's bruised eyes crying.
The two men that Kim looked at only fell silent looking away. Kim has always been angry and disagreed if her father made Clary a part of them. Kim always did not have the heart to see the strenuous exercise that Clary lived. More - more he could not bear to see Clary's body full of wounds after completing the mission from his father.
Kim is deeply concerned about Clary's fate from the first time Kim met Clary when Mike forcibly brought the girl with the threat of slaughtering Clary's family if she did not comply.
FLASHBACKS
Exactly 8 years ago after Clary graduated from High School she started living in a boarding house close to the university where she attended because Clary's parents' house in the city had been sold. Clary's father chose to move to a branch office in their hometown, requiring Clary to live alone in the city.
One day when he came home the night from the public library, a group of people dressed in all black took him forcibly to a luxurious house that was nowhere because their eyes were covered with cloth.
Clary was shocked when she saw the figure of the man who had snapped her in the warehouse after she tried to save someone who was experiencing a projection . That man is none other than Mike, a confidant of gangster bosses in country T.
Mike takes Clary forcibly to T-country and trains him to fight and use a variety of weapons at the behest of Mr. Carlos. With Carlos' power and money, he could easily keep Clary in college even though she often skipped months while doing training or missions. They still allowed Clary to inform her family so as not to arouse suspicion.
Actually, even during college, Clary did not have to bother working part time because Mr. Carlos gave unlimited credit cards for him. But the card is burned by Clary as she breaks off with them after Jason's death.
FLASH BACK OFF
Kim pulled Clary to sit next to him at the dinner table. Not to forget he also introduced Jonatan as his fiancee. Kim happily recounted the beginning of his introduction to Jonatan to decide to get engaged.
Clary used her fake smile so as not to hurt Kim, but it was undeniable that her heart could still feel pain.
On the other hand, Mr. Carlos, Mike and Joan who know the facts are actually just silent watching the show in front of them.
" Emmm Kim, actually I've known Joan" said Clary a little hesitant.
" Joan? Do you mean Natan(call Kim for Jonatan)" Kimberly asked confusedly because Joan's call felt too familiar to them.
The atmosphere at the dining table began to tense up. For a moment only silence was created and only the sound of cutlery clashing with each other.
" Yes, we know each other first" Clary replied with her fake smile
" Why didn't Nat ever tell me about you? You're really mean Nat" Kim pura - pura frowns at Jonatan.
" I'm sorry I thought." Jonatan's sentence was immediately cut by Clary.
" We're not very close and just know him so there's no way he's telling me about me. I am not his family or his best friend. I'm also not a special person to him so it's natural that he forgets about me." Clary's line changes Carlos, Mike and Joan's facial expressions.
They were convinced that Clary's heart was actually very sick of telling Kim the lie. Clary doesn't want to hurt Kim because they love each other.
After breakfast, they continued their activities. Both sons of Mr. Carlos went to their respective companies. Mr. Carlos' mother went to the old society to get rid of her loneliness in the luxurious mansion.
" Are you going to continue your training for Jonatan?" mr. Carlos asked Clary who answered with a nod.
" Are you okay dear?" ask Carlos to make sure.
" yeah... I'm fine sir." Clary said goodbye to Carlos.
" Let Mike go with you" Carlos said.
Clary simply nodded and passed towards the training ground with Mike, Joan and Kimberly.
Arriving at the training ground, Kimberly headed to the VVIP room which contained a salon and spa . The place was deliberately set up in the training area so that the family of Carlos who came there just to see - see do not feel bored while waiting for others to practice.
Mike and Clary focus on training Joan. They started shooting practice for 1 hour. It was Clary here who was in charge of being the coach for Joan .
" It turns out you're a sniper" Joan said.
" Focus" replied Clary flatly
" Are you serious about what you said?" ask Joan again.
Clary just scrunched her forehead not understanding. " Which one?"
" You're saying you're not a special person and you just know me?" Joan shot her gun back at the target.
" You think?" Clary asked back and stared intently at Joan. " What was our relationship when you just met Kim? Am I really that special person that you could get close to and decide to get engaged to?" Clary's stark answer made Joan speechless to realize her mistake. " Maybe if I never came here you would have said the same cake 4 years ago."
" I'm sorry - really.." again - Joan's sentence was interrupted.
" focus. Abis ni you martial arts practice ama Mike"
They took a short break before continuing Joan's training. The training Joan received was not very comparable to the one Clary had received just yet. A full day he was required to practice shooting and martial arts until midnight. He often fainted from exhaustion. Mike is very hard on him what else in terms of martial arts, because that is indeed Mike's expertise. While shooting is a memento - a memory Jasson left for him.
Clary's two teachers were very different. Mike is fierce and assertive while Jasson is calmer even though his attitude is cold. Maybe because his job as a sniper requires him to be calm and always focus on his target.
" Honey.. is it done?" ask Kimberly who arrived - came and hugged Joan and sat in the man's lap. " Hey C you owe me a story" Kim kept charging Clary for a promise that would tell her the beginning of her meeting with Joan.
Clary also recounted the beginning of her meeting with Joan but only a piece that deserves to be told. Joan just nods to agree with all Clary's stories.
" It's worth it that you were so calm when I threatened you first" said Joan recalling her first encounter with Clary . " You're a gangster. But why didn't you put up a fight? Can't you be martial? " summer with a smile.
" You're not a big anceman for me." replied Clary flatly.
" Oh yeah?" joan said while looking at Clary.
Mike can catch the direction of Joan's question. There was a sense of jealousy rumbling in his heart. There must be a lot going on between them. Mike's mind started to guess uncontrollably. He couldn't stand Joan's gaze on Clary.
