Chelsea bowed lethargic, sticking her head on the surface of the table next to her laptop. He who had been very eager for revenge, now seemed to fall and lose his spirit. How not? In his first attempt alone in targeting one of the Families had already experienced failure. He started to get discouraged if he could destroy this huge organization that was so powerful.
"Sister Liam ...." Again and again, I don't know how many times Chelsea muttered the name of the late William. He cried in silence, there was no one who could be a place for him to complain about the tiredness that had accumulated within him.
Pain, his chest felt tight because all his struggles now failed to produce the results he wanted. The fragile side of Chelsea he has long hidden has now resurfaced. However, once again he had no one who could strengthen himself to rise from this downturn.
All of these things made him recall what the figure of the older brother who had now left. Although he has been gone for a long time, his figure has always been firmly embedded in Chelsea's heart. Only William is in this world who had always been a backstop if Chelsea were to fall. Now William does not exist and the situation is no longer the same, now he can only try to soak all his fatigue by relying on himself.
DING DONG
DING DONG
The doorbell sounded, but Chelsea was too lazy to open the door.
DONG DING!
"Mayras! It's me, please open!"
The voice of the person who pushed the doorbell sounded familiar to Chelsea's ears, he immediately knew if the person was Leon.
"Yes, a moment .." said Chelsea who then immediately stopped looking down and wiped the remaining tears on her cheek.
Chelsea walked up to the door, and as soon as she opened it she immediately said, "What's wrong?"
"I take-" Leon's words stopped immediately when he saw Chelsea's sad face with both eyes puffy. He was surprised because the first time he saw a figure he knew as a strong woman was crying.
"You've been crying?" leon asked as he touched Chelsea's chin, looking and looking deeper into the woman's face.
"Yes, I'm crying. And you haven't answered my question, what business are you here for" Chelsea replied, removing Leon's hand from his face.
"Ah, I'm here because ..." Leon then thrust a box of white food in front of Chelsea. Scratching his cheeks that did not itch, he said in an awkward tone, "Ehmm .. I remember that after returning from District 12 you had not eaten dinner. So this is me buying you food."
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry. Please eat by yourself!" Chelsea were about to close the door, but Leon quickly held it in his hand.
"Wait a minute!"
"What else is it?" chelsea asked with a pushy look, he did not like the pitiful state this was seen by Leon.
"Are you in trouble?" leon asked with a worried look.
"...." - ".For a moment Chelsea was stunned, after a long time this time he felt there was someone who cared about him. "Even if I'm in trouble, what does that have to do with you? Are you gonna help me solve a problem?"
"That .. depends. If you want, you can tell me your problem. Only after I heard your story. If possible, it might be .. I can help you find a solution," Leon replied hesitantly.
Chelsea are once again pensive. He still did not expect that Leon would listen to his story. On the one hand he wanted to tell her to ease his fatigue and improve his mood, but on the other he was also hesitant and a little embarrassed to tell her.
"Emm... Do you want to breathe fresh air?" ask Leon again.
"Yes, I want to .." Chelsea replied in a soft voice nodding her head.
Leon eventually abandoned his good intentions to feed Chelsea. He turned to take her in for some fresh air. And the place he was heading to was the top floor of the hotel building. They climbed onto the roof of the building, then sat side by side on the edge while staring at the night panorama of the city S.
Sitting on the height of the building that has 12 floors for them it feels normal. Such heights are not enough to make them nervous or afraid of falling.
"Hhhh ...." Chelsea took a breath. For the first time he was sitting on top of the building, before he thought it would be creepy, but now he no longer thinks so. The beauty of the bright lights from below looks beautiful from above. Although beautiful, but this beauty still can not forget him from the problems that are happening to him.
"...." - ".On one side Leon also silent a thousand languages. He hesitated to start a conversation. Just this time he was in a state of being with the woman he had always been watching over, and the woman was now grieving. He did not know what kind of way he should use to comfort her.
Suddenly, he remembered his beloved sister. He remembered how Liana behaved when she was sad. Leon finally decided to use the same method to the woman beside him at this time.
Leon's hand quietly moved from behind, touching Chelsea's head gently and making her lean on his shoulder.
"Eh ...!?" Chelsea were surprised, with reflexes trying to step aside. Leon manages to hold her back and keeps her leaning.
"W-what are you doing?" ask the confused Chelsea.
"Look at me" Leon replied in a soft tone.
"B-but I don't"
"Ssttt ... shut up! Whenever Liana was sad, she was like this to me too. And I know that you're tired now. Even though I don't understand what your problem is, you can still lean on me."
"Leon ...." Chelsea's mouth feels mute, everything Leon says is right targeting him who is currently experiencing problems. His spirit was gone, he felt fallen and slumped, he could not lie to himself if he really needed someone to lean on.
For a while Chelsea was still quiet like that. Then suddenly he said, "Leon ... What would you do if you tried so hard, but your efforts remain failures?"
Leon smiled faintly, he was relieved that Chelsea finally wanted to tell him what was going on. After thinking about Chelsea's question just now, he replied, "If I were, then I would be as desperate as you. Doing something in vain is exhausting. But, is something you want to achieve with your efforts that's important enough to you?"
"Yes, very important. Even if I had to sacrifice something to achieve it, then I would sacrifice half my life, which I have left" Chelsea replied without a doubt. Her goal of revenge for her brother's death had fused all the way to her bones.
"Then ... You need to rest for a while!"
"Rest?" ask Chelsea.
"Yes, rest. You must rest to recover yourself, take a break from all the problems. You don't have to keep crashing that problem to death. Take a break, and after that you can think of another way to achieve your goal."
"To reach a point, there does not have to be only one road passed to reach it. For example, you want to reach the top of the mountain. If you pass a road, where it goes straight up, it will be too steep to pass. It's different if you choose a twisty, longer detour. Even though you will get to the top longer, but your chances will be much greater. You know what I mean, right?"
"Yes, I get it. There is still another way to reach a goal. Thank you very much Leon," said Chelsea with a faint smile on the tip of his lips.
"Yes, we are partners!" leon stammered, he was blown away with a Chelsea smile just now.
"Leon, can I lean on your shoulder for longer?"
"Eh?! B-can! Just lean back as much as you!" Leon instantly turned his reddened face away, he also felt nervous at the thought of the sound of his heartbeat pounding. Hopefully Chelsea will not hear that conversation at all.
"Thank you, thank you for listening to me." Once again Chelsea smiled, she also closed her eyes comfortably.
It's been a long time since he was as calm as he is now. For some reason, leaning on Leon seemed to make most of his anxiety disappear. It felt familiar and soothing, he wanted to linger in his current position. Lean on the shoulder of someone who has always been there for him.
Sitting side by side under the bright moonlight, buffeted by the cold night wind. All of that seemed to be able to add a calming impression between the two of them who were now so close. And now, the most important thing is that Chelsea does not feel like they have no place to lean anymore. The presence of Leon already has a special meaning for himself.
Days change. And this morning Chelsea were in a different mood than usual. He just realized what he did last night on the roof of the building with Leon. Chelsea was embarrassed half-dead, many times he remembered the incident, he became his own misdeeds.
"Huh, can't keep this up! Be aware Chelsea, let's be aware!" chelsea said they wanted to self-harm. He repeatedly splashed water on his face to stop thinking about Leon.
"Come Chelsea! Focus, focus!"
After realizing that the front of his shirt was soaked, Chelsea just stopped pouring water on his face. He took a small towel to wipe his face.
"Suph ...." Chelsea took a breath. Daydreaming while looking at the reflection of his own reflection in the mirror mounted above the sink.
"Leon is right, my efforts are not over. If the first way fails, then I just have to use another way. I've been thinking about my next move since then, and now I'm sure I should change my plan!"
"I was planning on targeting Family one by one and messing with them all. Turns out this was wrong. I originally wanted to destroy this gangster organization viciously and slowly. But, it turned out that cutting off one by one part of his body was useless!"
"They're all a bunch of nonsensical people. Night club owners, murder service providers, lawyers, actors of a million and even the Speaker of Parliament are also included. They cover all aspects. If I harass one of them, then they will protect each other. It is appropriate that they be called Family."
"Nine Families! Let's just say they are the main pillars of this organization! And the leader is the biggest and most powerful pillar. So if I attack this most important pillar, the other pillars will be shaken as well."
"I won't target all the Families! I simply attack the chairman then this organization will be over! So I won't make any more trouble, I have to work as well as I can. Ah ... no, but I have to be the best for me to be known and the chairman glances at me! And if that time comes, I will immediately take the opportunity to kill him!"
After establishing himself with his new plan, Chelsea immediately get ready to start again his activities. But this morning, he made a special breakfast menu for Leon. He intends to avenge the goodwill of Leon who last night had bought himself food.
Chelsea were at Leon's doorstep. He took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell button. Of course he felt a little nervous whether Leon would like his cooking or not, given that Leon himself was also good at cooking.
DING DONG
DONG DING!
"Leon, please open the door! It's me, Mayra!"
THE HORN!
The door opened but Chelsea were shocked by what she saw. He was currently looking at Leon who was half-naked, wearing only a towel wrapped around his lower body. Even still seen the rest of the water points that flow in the chest of his field, coming from his hair that is still wet because of shampooing.
"Yahwaa! What the fuck!? Get your clothes on!" chelsea shouted while closing both eyes tightly. Even his body was also shaken and the food he was carrying almost spilled.
"Ah .. sorry, I think there's an urgent need. So I quickly opened the door. Emm ... come in!" leon said in an awkward tone. He passed and immediately went to the room.
As for Chelsea, he peeked a little, ascertaining whether Leon had gone from before him or not. After making sure everything was safe, Chelsea went inside and put the food she brought to the table.
A moment later Leon came out of the room, now his seductive appearance had changed with the appearance of wearing a white shirt that was covered. However, the shame and awkwardness between the two people was still there.
"What's wrong?" ask Leon.
"I-I brought you breakfast, last night you bought me food. So I want to repay him. Know it? A kind of food exchange between good neighbors, ahaha .." Chelsea replied with an awkward laugh.
"Haha, thank you." Leon also laughed awkwardly. Then he sat down and tasted a spoonful of food that Chelsea had brought him.
"How does it feel?" asked Chelsea in curiosity.
"Why are you asking? Didn't you just cook it before you tasted it yourself?" Leon chuckles.
"Humph! Of course, and I think it's delicious! I'm asking you if it fits on your tongue!"
"Yaa .. is fine, but to me this is a little less spicy. Please add more chili next time!"
"Well, but .. do you seriously want me to make breakfast for you again?" chelsea asked with her innocent look.
"E-uh?! That's not what I mean! Y-you don't bother making food for me anymore! I was just expressing my opinion! That's all!" answer Leon. He immediately lowered his head and continued chewing faster.
Shit, I could have said that. It was like a husband commenting on his wife's cooking. Mayra is not my wife.
There was no conversation as long as Leon ate. The two of them returned in a position of feeling awkward. And when Leon finished breakfast, he said something to break the silence.
"Emm ... do you want to go together?" tanyakanya.
"Can!" chelsea replied spontaneously. The soul of the businessman is never lost, as long as it can save time, energy and money, of course, he will agree.
The two of them left together for the Eastern District 1, returning to the villa just in case they were given new instructions and to report yesterday's incident to the higher-ups. And this time Hendry wasn't there, and he had shown someone he trusted to oversee the performance of all the bodyguards tasked with redeveloping the lands of the Eastern District 12.
After receiving additional instructions, the 18-man bodyguards returned together from Eastern District 1 to Eastern District 12. However, something beyond their shadow happened.
On a main entrance to the 12th Eastern District, there were currently so many citizens gathered and covered the road. All of them are men, both teenagers, adults and elderly. Even the grandfather of the flower seller yesterday also came to block the entrance.
"Go from here!"
"This is forever our land!"
"Don't mess around with our residences!"
"Give justice to little people like us!"
The men shouted calling for their objections. And as they became more and more infatuated, they began throwing stones and other hard objects at the cars that were now being driven by the bodyguards.
NO. NO. NO
One by one the stones hit the body of the car. But it does not cause serious damage because basically the cars are designed to have more durability.
The bodyguards who were still in the car spoke to each other with the communication devices they were carrying. They also agreed to make a decision.
"How's Leon?" ask Chelsea who is now in one car with Leon.
"We go down, get those bullies done!"
Sure enough, the bodyguards were all directly intervening. Even though they are outnumbered, but those who are professionals remain superior. One of them could face and clean up several people at once.
Chelsea are no exception. He had made up his mind to be the best. Even if this time he had to hurt the flower seller's grandfather, he wouldn't hesitate.
After all that society is paralyzed, and make sure that none of them die. One of the men in charge and from the 4th Division said, "We caught them all! We'll take them and pack them in the dungeon!"
"Good!"
