Marrying a Real Shadow

31. Continued Story

Atzlan observed the greedy man's back.

"Was the painting painted by...." Secretary Gun looked at the pale-looking Atzlan. An unexpected attack from Meihan's father precisely strikes his psychic.

"Thunder, leave me alone" he asked.

"Java!" Thunder Quiets half-screaming.

A nod to Atzlan made the man's legs tremble.

"Why do you call him Mesiko's tramp? Isn't that too rude?" Secretary Gun said no.

"For him it is the most honorable name I have ever called" replied Atzlan resignedly.

"Why do you keep it a secret that there are still paintings left? It could be proof...."

"Easy! Enough's enough!" Shouted Atzlan could not bear to hear Secretary Thunder's question, "I want Gun myself," he said slowly.

His best friend seemed to understand and realize that he had crossed the line. He bowed and came out carrying all the rest of his chest.

Inside Atzlan stood observing the painting. His heart was broken, he should not have to be cool explaining the uniqueness of the image because the whiny man in the painting was standing there looking for his self who was crying bitterly.

"Anna! Anna! Anna!" The sound of screaming from outside the house blew away Anna's mind who was focusing on reading a novel in her room. His neck reflexively protrudes out the window.

"Anna!" The woman was still screaming.

Anna hurriedly came out of her room to approach the woman.

"Mom, what's going on?" Ask to see the condition of his stepmother who looked very chaotic.

"Don't pretend to ask. You must be happy to see Mom's condition, right?" sniff the woman.

Anna shook her head softly even though the woman's speech was not entirely wrong.

"Give me your money,” ask him while in a hurry like being chased by something.

"Money?" Anna frowned.

"Quickly, I beg you," he asked, gripping roughly Anna's hand.

"But...."

"Mother please, Mother." she looked around before continuing her sentence "Mother must save her."

"Saving?"

"Quick Anna!" whining.

Anna resigned and opened a random sheet of the book that she accidentally brought it. After finding the black card, he immediately took it and gave it to Rafah's mother. "Here, Rafah's birthday pin."

"That apartment, Rafah's secret apartment. Never tell the address of the place to anyone. Anna, you have to be careful. Now it could be you, the target" said the woman and went half-run.

No one knows the cause of yesterday's chaos. In Anna's mind all she knew was Meihan's father changing course. Is now the target of the greedy man himself? Anna stared there until she didn't realize Meihan's car had stopped next to her.

"Anna!" Call her.

Anna almost jumped in surprise. Seeing that figure he immediately threw away his face.

"Anna, wait!" The man immediately got out of the car and hurriedly caught up with Anna.

"Anna, listen to me first" she asked.

"What should I hear? Explanation?" refute Anna.

"Anna...." He pulled the girl's tiny hand slowly. His eyes looked deeply. "Everything is not what you think. I just...." He breathed heavily.

"Why? What exactly do you want to explain?" Petty Anna was a little upset.

"He's pregnant, he's pregnant with my son, all this is out of my control" she explained briefly.

Anna's eyes suddenly closed, she remembered the test pack Kenda had given her.

"Oh you're the guy who warmed his womb? He should be arrogant and arrogant. Apparently he was storing a priceless treasure," Anna concluded with an expression of no surprise at all.

"Anna...." Meihan clasped his hand tightly.

"It's okay, you've suffered because of me, I'm just a pesky bitch. I'm fine, take care of the woman" he said in a loud voice.

"I told you, I'm perfectly fine. We haven't been through the night in the same bed either. I can still find a good man who can replace you without disappointing him. We only met because of shit," although Anna had prepared her feelings but still the pain was very disturbing.

"Good guy? What the guy that was with you in front of the elevator yesterday. She's what you mean?" Meihan's asking a little intimidating.

"Do you need to know that?" reply while smiling wryly.

"Of course!" snapped Meihan.

Anna looked at him emotionally. It was still morning but his heart was already churning.

"I don't want to discuss anything with you anymore." Anna turned around about to disappear from before the man so that her anger could be ransacked.

But, Meihan roughly pulled his hand back to where it was.

"Only our marriage is void but you are still my fiancee, there is still a sacred relationship that binds us. You can't see her again" Meihan threatened.

Hearing that Anna felt a power radiating from her fingertips. His emotions are not controlled.

Plaque!

His hand landed smoothly on Meihan's left cheek.

"Are you not too greedy? There's a woman who's got your flesh blood on her. Where is your right to control me? Doesn't the presence of the baby confirm the break-up of our entire relationship?" Said Anna with reddened eyes.

Meihan held her sore cheek. "If the man is someone else, I don't mind one bit. But I beg you not to him" he said, holding Anna's tiny shoulder.

Anna's eyes were still reddened full of emotion even more burning like tears of blood would come out from there.

"This is my life, what right do you have!" his screams were full of emotion.

"I beg Anna, I have the right to protect you. I owe you my life, Dad's gun muzzle is now aiming at him and it will be very dangerous if you have a relationship with him. You know how Dad is not it?" the door sincerely.

Tears find a way to evaporate. The warm water still finds a way to be free. Can't let him take a break from all the tragedies that keep coming like there's never an end. The struggle was exhausting and complicated.

"You don't owe me anything. Just focus on taking care of that woman, she definitely needs you now. It's not easy to have a baby." He slowly took off Meihan's hand and turned around once more to leave.

"I'm sorry Anna." This time he pulled her hand gently then hugged the girl sincerely.

Anna simply smiled as she wiped her tears away. "You don't have to do this. I'm perfectly fine. No one will hurt me, not even your father. He's no match for me."

"I'm sorry for everything Anna. I'm sorry...."

"Stop apologizing! I'm not that weak. Hicks." He hit Meihan's chest as much as he could to release an unexpected hug.

"Why are we so fucking shit? I just want you to live your life like everyone else" whispered Meihan with pity.

"Damn! Stop pitying me. L'm... I'm...." Her tears had filled Meihan's chest.

"Now I understand why Rafah always defends you. Your story is too amazing."

"I told you to stop feeling sorry for me!" anna shouted annoyed and excited.

Sin is as much as what must be paid for with endless karma. The sun that is leaving always looks annoying. If only there was someone who told me about the fairy tale of the disappearance of the sun from the universe. The story is so heartbreaking that it is clear how we died together without a victory for greed. When the sun disappears that's the end point of it all.

"Here," Meihan gave her a glass of warm tea.

"How many months?" anna asked as she welcomed the tea.

"3 months" Meihan replied.

"Why answer with that expression? You seem unhappy" he said, grazing tea with the soothing aroma.

Meihan.

"I don't blame you, I told you I'm okay."

Now Meihan nodded. "I doubt the boy" Meihan said later.

Anna almost spouted the tea she had just drunk from hearing that. The warm tea went into his lung ducts, causing him to cough.

Uhuk-uhuk-uhuk

"Here you go, you don't have to think about strange things if you don't want my hand to land on your cheek" Anna said after her cough subsided as she brandished her hand.

"Well, he's my son, isn't he?"

The sentence was greeted by Anna's nod.
