My boy, I Love You

Chapters 17. The Hunter

Lia sighed, trying to be patient after seeing Leon's smile. Ah, the boy was playing with his mother's feelings.

"Nisha, I'm taking you to the police station, mom. He's been on the streets too long. I gave all the results of my violin to him before we parted," the little boy said.

"Whatchu mean? You're considered a street busker?" Lia slipping. While Leon laughed.

"of course. I play music on the streets. But they gave me quite a lot of money." The boy raised both of his eyebrows to tease his mother. "Do we do it every day? We'll have plenty of money soon."

"No Leon! Stop flirting with mom" said Lia. "As long as you can, you don't have to do that."

That night, the sky was very dark. It rained down hard. A knock on the door surprised Lia. The woman rushed to open it. He looked at his guests as if he could not believe it.

"Ray?"

It was shocking to see her future husband standing in wet clothes on his doorstep.

"You come in rainy weather like this? Is there anything important?" Lia pulled Ray's hand in to make her body warmer.

"I miss you so much, Lia." The man collapsed before him.

"What happened to Ray?" lia asked, while her hands were busy packing the tall man with difficulty.

Ray disappeared a few days ago. There was no word or message from him. This man was now completely foreign to Lia. It all started with a serious call from his office back then.

"He wants to destroy me and my company, Lia. Even I shouldn't trust my own uncle," he involuntarily began to recount the burden of his troubles. "My uncle disappeared and now they're after me for the responsibility he's supposed to take care of."

Lia held onto the man's forehead, feeling hot. "You'd better change your clothes and take some medicine soon, '" Lia said.

Before long, Lia brought back a soft blue pajama. "Sorry, I don't have any men's clothes. I think it's okay for you to wear this for a while. I'll wash your clothes."

The man only nodded weakly accepting the clothes. Lia returns to the kitchen to fetch some drinking water and paracetamol while Ray changes his clothes.

"So tell me, what the hell happened to Ray? As your future wife, I deserve to know what I have to deal with after this."

Ray swallowed the medicine and pushed it with a glass of water in his left hand. He breathed, trying to calm himself.

"My parents bequeathed an import export company before they died. I'm too cool with my own desires." A regret was seen on his face. "With full confidence, I gave up the rights to manage the company to my uncle. And it turns-"

Lia shut up and heard Ray's story seriously.

"My uncle disappeared somewhere. And everyone started chasing the original owner of the company to account for it" he said.

"And you disappeared to escape all your obligations?"

"Of course I wouldn't have run away if they hadn't hunted me like a criminal" he said.

"They're hunting you? With violence? Who're they?" asked Lia in astonishment.

"I think they're making illegal transactions with my uncle. They're asking for their stuff."

"Oh Ray, what can I do for you. Don't you want to report it to the authorities?"

"I thought so, but I'll find my uncle first. I can't afford to report my family who aren't necessarily guilty to the authorities."

"Rest Ray."

"Regarding our marriage, do you mind if-"

"You want to postpone it again?" ask Lia. A smile adorned his face. "I don't mind at all, Ray."

"I don't mean, Lia. I think maybe I can't give you what I should. I just feel inappropriate-"

A loud knock sounded at the door. What's the matter? Even the day was already night and the rainy weather was getting heavier. Who came this night.

The knocking is getting louder. Lia covered Ray's body with a blanket thick and immediately approached the door. Curiously opened the door knob of his living room.

Right in front of him, now stood three men in large bodies dressed in suits. Lia's eyes were round. He was so surprised. Who they are.

"Who are y'all? And what's it gonna take to my house?" ask her to hide all her fears.

"I'm looking for someone who's hiding in your house!" One of them replied in a firm tone.

"Wait, tell me what's the reason you're looking for him?"

"We just want to take our package."

"And tell me, how valuable the package you're looking for is."

One of them raised his index finger.

"One million? And you're here with great difficulty to sue him?" Lia's getting emotional.

The man shook his head. It made Lia's heart seem to stop beating. So that was -

"One Milyard!" The man answered. "So leave him to us immediately."

The door was pushed by them. Lia began to tremble because of their brutality.

"Wait!" with all the courage that remains.

"He's sick. It's free for you to take him," he said.

"Then you think we're gonna let go? We've been chasing him for so long, so there's no way we're letting him go this time."
