The Darkest Dream

Loyalty

Ashley looked restless, her deep sleep interrupted by a very terrible nightmare. The pregnant woman was sitting on a single sofa, near the window leading to her front yard. His mind wandered to a distant place, thinking of something he had been trying to ignore.

"Babies? Why are you sitting here, eating something?" Aslan gasped awake as she touched the side of her empty wife's bed.

"No, I'm just a little bit nervous. My deep sleep was interrupted by a shitty dream. Sitting on that couch, I want to sleep on your lap." Point Ashley at the sofa not far from where she's sitting.

Aslan nodded then raised his wife's body which began to contain.

"I'm asking you to sit in instead of holding me" Ashley protested in shock at her husband's reflexive actions.

"I don't want you to be tired, lack of sleep can also make you tired. Not good for you and our baby" Aslan explained as he sat Ashley on the end of the sofa, then he sat at the end next to her.

"Come on, lie down." Tell Aslan after putting one pillow beside his thigh, so that his wife's neck and shoulders do not hurt because it supports the weight of the head.

"You don't want to sleep either?, if you want to sleep I'm fine" Ashley looked heartless at her husband. All day Aslan worked as a factory worker, of course very tired and needed enough rest.

"No, baby. I'm doing fine. Lie down, then sleep. Once you're done we'll move into the room, you don't mind, do you? if I move, right?" ask Aslan to make sure.

"Yes, no problem. I suddenly want to sleep like this, probably with our baby. Move me when I'm fast asleep." Said Ashley then spread his body, Aslan patted his wife softly. His heart was agitated, thinking about his mother and sister, who were being treated in the ICU.

In his face the peaceful face of the wife, the woman who made her able to take courageous action. By leaving his comfortable life, also indirectly, sacrificing his family. However, she does not regret her decision to choose and love Ashley. True said the father, a great man is not because of the wealth and power he has. Rather than being assertive and willing to sacrifice for a loved one, it makes us valuable in the eyes of a woman.

Fortunately there are good people who want to accommodate his family, and care for his sister and mother in a secret place. Aslan just sent some money, to his father on behalf of someone else. He asked one of his friends to send money to his family, then replace it with cash.

After an exhausting journey of soul and body, the Sky family has finally reached Long Beach California, from there they use a helicopter to the island of Catalina. It then landed on the heliport pebbly beach a few minutes from the heart of Avalon, downtown Catalina.

"You tired, honey? do you want me to take you to the car?" although his body was also nearly numb, but Sky was more worried about his wife. Cloey's face looked so pale, exhausted as well as the stress of the journey, making the woman look haggard.

"All right, just slow down. Stretch your legs first, Mina will carry Lizzie." The two got off the helicopter towards the pickup car.

Traveling for almost 15 minutes, they finally arrived at a house by the beach. Jeff said it was a safe house. Because the Belluwigs wouldn't think it was up to the little island to look for them.

Cloey was very happy, there was his adoptive family with that, just think of himself returning home.

"Sir, I'll be back tonight. Before his I just this said something to you." Jeff tried to neutralize his nervous feelings in front of Sky. "It's about Mrs Cloey..." Jeff looked hesitant, and Sky realized that.

"Tell Jeff clearly, I'm not a psychic who can penetrate your mind and heart." Tukas Sky firmly.

"The incident at the rest area this morning, did you know anything? I mean, did Miss Cloey say anything to you?" Jeff sucked at swallowing his saliva which felt stiff. Her questions are off track and on the ground, but her curiosity is on the mistress. Make Jeff determined to challenge death for himself.

"What do you know about Jeff?" Sky turned the question, Jeff choked, Why does he feel even himself being trapped by the question of his master. And stupidly, Jeff didn't prepare the answer to that trick question.

"You hear me, Jeff? what did you see and hear this morning?" Sky repeated his question, while continuing to stare intently at Jeff who looked increasingly agitated in his seat.

"I don't see or hear anything, sir." Jeff finally answered with the safest answer for him.

"Really! you didn't see anything either, not this morning or the next morning after today. And I hope I can trust you, Jeff. I don't know who you're working for, and who you're loyal to. All I want to know is, you can trust me when you work for me. What you see and hear, you keep enough for yourself. I'm not asking for full loyalty from you, just say yes or no, then your fate will go smoothly with your destiny." Sky said straightforwardly, there is no friendliness in any of his sentences. That is, Jeff must really keep his mouth shut, about anything related to his young mistress or his young miss, Lizzie.

"Okay sir, you can trust me completely." Jeff's short answer was full of earnestness, and could Sky the value of the man's body gesture. Although it looks a little depressed in the wrong conditions, but Sky can see the seriousness in Jeff's face, without being made up to just save himself.

"Hmmm... I trust you to the point where you can be loyal to only one master. Now I just believe enough in what you're doing, without having to put my full trust in you. Let's see how much loyalty you have and to whom you deserve respect." Finished with a sentence that made Jeff's heart and brain performance almost completely paralyzed, Sky left Jeff still sitting pensive in his chair.

Sky knew Jeff was a very loyal person, only, The man had other responsibilities, which he could not ignore just like that. So does Sky, his priority is his little family. No matter what he faced, Sky had decided to stand firm, right in front of his wife and children. Become the second shield of his favorite woman, no matter what the two do.

Life is about who is able to survive and defend his right to life, no matter what has been broken to be able to exceed these limits.
