Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 6

"Just tell me why the man you call your brother left you alone here" Ryan looked at Farah with the distance between his two faces so close that Ryan's breath swept across Farah's cheek. "You can trust me if you tell me honestly." Whisper Ryan. "My bodyguard is very creepy.. Patience is very fragile you know..."

Farah's voice vibrated. "He went to get a safety pin so I could reattach the cloth pad on my stomach..."

"Curtain! How ridiculous!" Gege Umpat.

"Do you think he's lying, Ge? Looky.. His voice shook, his face was very pale and his fingers were fingerless....." Ryan grabbed Farah's arm and touched Farah's tiny, wiggly fingers. "It's freezing...." Ryan squeezed Farah's fingers with his warm palm.

"I don't think he's lying this time, but his honest answer is ridiculous! How could she pretend to be a pregnant woman and go to a bar if not to plan something? I'm sure this woman and the men she was with were not random people!". Gege looked at Farah sharply . Farah could only bow her head. In his heart he grumbled, how could a bodyguard be even fiercer than his boss?!

"Easy! You keep watching all around! We can't let our guard down. The news of the leader of the Dark Devil coming here has spread, surely many people want to test Keith." Ryan was upset.

"All right! I'll go around with the others and send a signal immediately if anything suspicious!" Gege then turned to look at Farah while smiling sideways. "Let's see that woman is fine if you don't want her to be hurt, and who knows maybe this time it's the baby who's gonna fill her belly".

Ryan shook his head and held back a laugh hearing Gege's running words leaving the two of them behind. Farah who was still in close arms Ryan felt stiff when Ryan looked at her again. The man sighed softly. "Your face is very pale".

When Farah touched the side of her face, her skin was cold. His fingers are still shaking. Farah was embarrassed by her cowardice. In this state, Farah was aware of her who was just an awkward and shy girl.

Farah mustered up the courage to face the man before her. He looked at Ryan with his head up. Farah's head was no higher than Ryan's shoulder. "Let go of me, please" Farah's voice trembled even as she tried so hard to gather up courage like this and only that could be spoken from her mouth. Sad, Inner Farah.

Ryan released his arms around Farah's body, the intimacy between two gendered people that Farah had never felt with anyone made her flinch until she stepped back quickly until she accidentally stepped on something. Farah looked down to see what he was stepping on. "Oh my goodness.. I ruined it..." Farah Mumbled.

There was the sound of Ryan's crisp laughter so quickly that Farah took the nameplate of the club in broken. "Be careful, there could be nails on that board" Ryan said. "Give me. I'll give it to the club owner to fix"

Farah then gave the board to Ryan's hand. But suddenly his mind flinched, Farah Fransiska, you should have used the board to hit the head of the man before you!!!

Ryan chuckled softly as he turned back the club sign in his hand. "You know? You're very entertaining"

"I'm not here to comfort anyone" Farah said in a trembling voice.

"Of course not, I know that. I also don't seek solace in a shanty place like this"

"But I see you're very comforted by creating fear in other people's faces". Cetus Farah ventured.

"Did I scare you?" Ryan asked with a serious face creeping on Farah.

Ryan chuckled slightly as he rubbed Farah's stomach with his hand. "Yes, you're an innocent woman but not so innocent".

Farah took a step back. "Don't do that". With a vibrating voice.

"I'm sorry" said Ryan, smiling sideways. "Stay here with me. You'll be safe if you don't try to run away from me".

Ryan looked at Farah's face and laughed. "I know you don't trust me, but please don't make me tired tonight... If you run, I'll have to chase you, and I don't want us both running around in that empty lot like lovers".

Farah grunted in annoyance. He knew enough himself that he would not be able to run away from the man before him. For a while, Ryan scanned Farah's face, then turned his face westward, there was a flash of light like a cipher. Another bright light sprung up in the dark sky.

"My comrades are coming". Said Ryan. The man then extended his hand towards Farah. "Come with me. I'm sure you don't want them to see you, do you?"

"There's more mafia coming?!" exclaiming Farah while staring into the sky with a light that seemed to be mutually simple

"There are five more, or six? I don't know about that"

Farah looked at Ryan like a chick losing its mother. Farah did not dare to trust Ryan just like that, but unfortunately the only hope was that man.

"Come with me". Repeat Ryan patiently. "You should think like this, it's better to face me alone than to face six dangerous mafia. Whatever bad thing you're afraid I'll do to you, I can only do it once but they can do it six times. I'm not armed, but I can assure you I'm armed. You can frisk me if you don't believe me" Ryan didn't waste time, he pulled Farah away from the club. "I wish you'd ransacked me" he said with a grin.

With lightning fast even without Farah noticing, his body lifted instantly and he was instantly in the car. Ryan came in and sat down on Farah's side. With the window glass dark from the outside but bright from the inside, Farah peeked at the rows of big men who came out one by one from an SUV and moved quickly into the club.

Farah then looked at Ryan who was actually seen sitting relaxed, very relaxed. With a quivering voice, Farah said, "My brothers are inside"

"Just calm. They won't hurt him or his friends".

Whether true or not, Farah could only trust Ryan's words. There's nothing He can do for Zac or Austin, not even He can do anything for Ben whose existence He doesn't know. Farah peeked out again, while Ryan continued to watch Farah closely, "So, what did you catch from your peek?". Said Ryan.

Farah turned back to look at Ryan and put on an irritated face. He was annoyed by the man's calm attitude. Huh! Of course he's calm! The new one comes is the herd!

Ryan then chuckled softly. "I'm being honest with you, honey. Brother's safe. Keith's after another man".
