Everyone is precious to him who loves him.

Tuk...Tuk...

The sound of hells' shoes knocking on the floor echoed, a woman in skimpy clothes entered a room with shades of red, she walked along like she was in the red carpet. He sits himself on the lap of a man in the age range of 50+.

"Darling you came, does this still hurt?" he kissed the girl's arm that was still wrapped in bandages.

"No, it's fine." The girl quickly pulled her hand and hid behind her back.

"You smell great, what perfume are you wearing?" The man sniffed the scent in the woman's neck.

The woman is Cherry Nic's lover, and the man waiting for her at the door is David, "wait, sir, a-me," Cherry stops the man from hounding her.

"Just say, I'm listening." The man did not want to stop his activities, he continued to do it without wanting to be paused.

"Tu-sir, all the su-has gone according to plan. A-I-I-," The man raised Cherry's body and threw her on the bed.

"Okay then," he said still pursuing his activities, he traced every inch of Cherry's body with his lips.

"We're getting engaged soon!" Cherry's voice is no longer because of the man.

"Good continue, get her to marry you." A thin grin appeared on his face.

"But sir, why do you want to do all this, you don't even know Nic at all, hmp!" Cherry's lips were instantly ambushed making her shut up for a moment.

Outside the room, David stood with his hands clenched, wanting to feel like he barged in and beat up the old man who was acting indecent towards Cherry. However, the gazes of two men twice as big as him made his guts wail instantly, he could already imagine his fate if he still forced his way in, instead of saving Cherry, he will end up in the afterlife.

The noises coming from the room contained the couple of different ages, making David's ears hot. He wanted to go soak his head in the bathtub feeling jealous, angry, upset, and a feeling of helplessness encompassed him whenever Cherry was called by him who was called 'Master One'.

It is not without reason that Cherry is attached to an influential person in the dark world, Master One is what makes Cherry able to stand on stage as a model. If it wasn't for him, Cherry would never have, any possessions or status, David himself knew very well when Cherry slumped after the departure of his parents.

After a while, the door opened Cherry came out with a lethargic face, her hair disheveled, a red mark filled the neck niche to the base of her two cleavages. David threw his face away, he took off his jacket and put the warm cloth on him. David took Cherry and took her away from the cursed place.

Cherry was silent during the trip, her jaw was tightly clenched, her eyes were staring blankly at the streets, her mind was wandering somewhere.

People passed by, some brought vases of flowers, decorations, decorations and so forth. Khanza walked with a look of astonishment, he wondered in his heart, what was the event? But he kept the question and went inside. Shelia, the middle-aged woman was sitting while talking to a woman of her age, no matter what they were talking about, her face looked serious.

Shelia noticed Khanza's presence, she smiled weakly and waved her hand telling her to come closer.

"Mommy, what's the show?" Khanza asked as he circulated his gaze in any direction.

Shelia sighed as she clasped Khanza's hand, "Nic will get engaged," she said with a concerned look on her face.

"Aren't you papa?"

"Me, I'm why Mommy. I'm good, very good." Khanza commented a sincere smile on his lips.

"Nic where's Mami?" khanza asked, looking upstairs.

"She's in her room, ever since she said she'd be engaged to Cherry, she's been quieter and locked up in the room."

"Then I'll meet him" Khanza moved up, he went upstairs to where Nic's room was.

Khanza knocked twice, then opened the door, "Nic, are you inside?" Khanza bent his head before entering.

"Come in." Nic says slowly. Khanza also entered, the feel of Nic's room was simple not much he had other than a row of books in the closet and an ash-colored round soup.

"What are you doing, Nic?" Khanza approached Nic who was standing on the balcony with a cigarette billowing in his second palm fire.

"Hey are you drunk?!" Khanza saw a wine bottle lying on the table.

"No, who's drunk." Nic.

"That's what?!" Khanza pointed at the wine bottle that was lying on the table.

"I'm not drunk!" Nic insisted, he turned his head and put his head on Khanza's shoulders, "I said I wasn't drunk, no." Said raving.

"Not drunk, but your mouth stinks." Khanza's complaint is upset.

"No smell, try to kiss." Nic pulled Khanza's face, cup... Suddenly Nic kisses him, making Khanza's body instantly sculpt. Nic kissed her feelingly, that's what Khanza felt, that soft kiss that happened long enough until Khanza's consciousness recovered.

"Nic, what are you doing?" Khanza pushed Nic, as well as wiped his wet lips.

"Do, what?" Nic seemed confused as if what had happened just disappeared from his head.

"You gotta soak, you're really drunk, Nic. Shower there!" Nic allegedly carried Khanza and put him on the bed.

"Hey Nic," Khanza protested with widened pupils. But the man did not bully him, he instead lay down beside Khanza and hugged his body tightly.

"Nic, you're crazy. Let me go, how about Mami come here!" Nic still did not respond, he slept but still did not release Khanza from his arms.

Khanza was speechless, he glanced at Nic's shady face as his eyes closed.

'Why Nic, why do you always do the unexpected, actually what you think, your actions without you knowing this, you know, it makes it harder to forget you. But let this be the last time we're together, consider this a parting gift from me. May you be happy with your life, Nicholas. I love you!' Khanza landed a kiss on Nic's forehead.

Degs...Degs... Nic's heart was unable to hold, he wanted to stay in his current position. He is afraid Khanza knows, if he is just pretending to be drunk, Khanza's gentle demeanor and the touch of his lips on Nic's forehead, make tears melt from both corners of his eyes. Nic immediately turned around, turning his back to Khanza, making the woman feel astonished.

"Nic?"
