The Passion of Mr. Anderson

REYAN AND MELIA

"Melia, are you okay?"

Reyan shook Melia's body as Melia was still in shock sitting on the edge of the bed. Repeatedly Reyan rubbed his face and Melia could only cry in fear.

"Rey, it's true what you said. Someone's been asking me since when."

"Say, what makes you suddenly feel so sure?"

"Last night I accidentally put all my toiletries in place. And all of a sudden this morning, it's all out of place as it was after use." Melia explained it all still with a trembling hand. His face was pale and whitened so much.

"You ... are absolutely sure?"

Melia nodded while wiping her tears.

And in fact, Reyan's suspicions are true. But then, Reyan hurriedly circled around into all the space, turning to his right and left to look for something.

"Rey, what are you doing?"

"I want to find something in your house, Mel. I'm sure there's something he's left in this house."

Melia got up when she saw Reyan running there and here. Surrounding the whole space by space without knowing what he was really looking for.

"Rey?"

Meanwhile, Reyan continues to search Melia's room with jelly. And as soon as he observed something strange in the corner of the wall, he slowly approached it.

"What's Rey?"

Reyan hurriedly took it. He looked in great shock, suddenly squeezing the blackish object and running back there and here to look for other objects similar to what he was holding.

"Rey?"

And sure enough, there was still the exact same thing when Reyan took it under the table.

"Look at this Mel."

"What is Rey?"

"Camera watchdog."

And hearing that, again Melia immediately silenced her own mouth.

***

Melia's hands were still trembling violently. In front of him was a cup of hot capuccino but it was not drunk at all by Melia. Meanwhile, Reyan is right in front of her, repeatedly saying that everything will be fine but still this all still feels terrible to her.

Reyan has taken Melia as far away from the house as possible. Take her to the tavern, where they met yesterday. It's just that, the atmosphere is much quieter than yesterday so it makes them free to say words to each other.

"Mel, everything will be fine," for the umpteenth time Reyan said that word.

"But, I'm afraid Rey. How could anyone come to my house every night."

Reyan took a deep breath. In the end Melia realized, that in her life, it felt awkward as long ago.

"I've actually felt it a long time ago. Even since we met and met."

"What do you mean, Rey."

"Don't you think that the people who ruin our relationship are the same people."

"You scared me. Then, he's been following me for a long time."

"I'm sorry but I have to say this, but I think so. He's been following you for a long time."

"Rey! Don't talk carelessly. I'm really scared."

"Are you unconscious too, Mel. Ever since I met you, there's always been people who prank me. There are always people trying to separate me from you. You already know the reason yesterday ...?"

"..."

"And don't you think where all of a sudden you can get a scholarship? It's always easy to work part-time, and every time you get in trouble, there's always someone who solves it? I don't know, I don't think it can be called by chance."

"Rey ..."

"What's more when we're dating, that guy becomes really hate me. My father was almost fired and transferred overseas so I went with him. And just so you know Mel, I'm kind of followed every day by somebody. Even ..."

Melia's forehead shriveling.

"Even what Rey?"

Reyan was silent. He seems hesitant to answer.

"Even what Rey?"

"What?!"

"Yes, I clearly remember who that man was. The man I saw yesterday in this tavern when I was with you."

Melia's eyes were wide.

"What-what?!"

"Yes, Mel."

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday."

"I'm just afraid you're worried."

"Gosh, Rey." The whole feather of Melia bristles. At present, Melia is absolutely sure that her life is always stalked by someone for a long time."

"Either that person or someone else told that person to stalk you ..."

Melia held her breath.

"Rey, why is this so awful." Melia's hands shook again, her face was already deathly pale.

They were silent now, beginning to sink into their thoughts and just looking at each other. Melia was already so frustrated, she did not know how she would act. But, a second later he looked back at Reyan. Suddenly Melia felt afraid, if anything would happen with Reyan just like what she had experienced before.

"Rey."

"Hm."

"It seems, I don't want to risk it. I ... I'm afraid if something bad happens to you. And it's better now that you're gone, just calm down. I've been planning to report to the police."

But Reyan just smiled skeptically.

"Why should I be afraid?"

"I'm afraid to make you wretch. I know, he's not just anyone."

Ha ha ha ha's. Reyan laughed. "Now I'm not afraid anymore, Mel. I promised I'd protect you no matter what."

"But Rey ..."

"And about our relationship ..."

Suddenly Melia choked. Reyan re-emphasized the relationship between them.

"Again, we've never really ended it, have we?"

"You mean ...?"

"We think that each one of us is betrayed. But it turns out it was all someone else's interference."

Melia swallowed her saliva trying to digest the words from Reyan. But a second later Reyan grabbed Melia's hand and clasped it tightly.

"I still love you, Mel. My feelings for you are still the same as before."

Really am. The expression of that feeling was something that was really sudden for Melia.

"You want to continue this relationship, right?"

"But Rey .. we've been separated for a long time and I'm afraid you're disappointed in me. A lot of things have changed and I'm ..."

"Is my love not enough? Why do you doubt?"

"Just ..."

"In your heart, is there a place for me?"

"Actually, me?"

Reyan looked deeply into that face.

"I don't know." Melia shook her head.

"We've never really ended this relationship, and I still assume that you and I are still together."

"Wait a minute."

But Reyan just smiled, staring at Melia.
