The Rhyme of the Depositary

075 - SEASON 2

Jasmine stood behind the bedroom window and looked at the starry night sky. The flickering of its light creates tiny dots forming beauty.

Ever since she was a child, Jasmine has admired her

charm night. For him, nature is a natural occurrence that holds many secrets. Darkness is the place of the greatest enigma. Where many things remain neatly hidden in it.

The moon is the light that Jasmine loves more than the sun. For the night woman who has been lost by the twists and turns of life, the moon is more realist than the great sun. His gentle radiance and faint light illuminate the night like his own philosophy of life.

The dark life he lived made him far from the light. If anything, the light that greeted him was a soft and faint light. Not a strong and dominant light. So to feel the light, it takes a long and long concentration.

The twists and turns of life have made Jasmine aware of the meaning of many things. He realized that in this world, there were some things that were difficult for him to reach. Not materill. He got it easily. What is difficult for him is the love and trust of the opposite sex.

Love is a forbidden definition for Jasmine. A thousand times he read romance stories, none of these narratives that he can apply in himself.

Jasmine once pondered. Maybe throughout his life, he was not destined to meet love and be with her. He should be satisfied with what he finds at the moment.

Jasmine let out a long sigh and rubbed her face tiredly. He was tired of living life. There were times when Jasmine wanted to rest and be quiet for a moment, enjoying the time without the moral burden she was trying to keep up with at all times.

Jasmine tries to show herself as an immoral woman who does not pay attention to ethics. But really, deep down in his conscience the burden remains. Gnawing at his chest slowly from within. No one witnessed it, only he felt it getting stronger every time.

Jemari Jasmine moved on her lips and paused for a long time. He recalled his spontaneous kiss with Daniel this afternoon. Something he intended as a challenge to himself turned into something else.

There were foreign shakes when the kiss happened. A reaction that Jasmine had never noticed. Like an electric current that vibrates, makes a spark, and increasingly magnifies to form a special wave.

That kiss was the beginning of what he wanted to do more. When their lips touched each other, it was as if the world stopped to spin. Dusk became a background that he was not aware of. The warmth of the sun turned into something else and everything focused on the kiss.

It's freaky. Something Jasmine never felt. Something new this time. Something that raises new questions and fears.

Luckily, as Daniel begins to respond to their kisses, Jasmine disconnects from the activity and returns to common sense. He took a few steps back, looked at Daniel briefly with a dazed look and left just like that.

For the first time in her life, Jasmine felt the need to escape from something. He was afraid that if he stayed there, he would do a lot of silly and senseless things.

Jasmine had no idea what Daniel would think of her. He just wanted to tease the guy at first. Unexpectedly turned into something else.

Daniel would laugh at him. Judging Jasmine was getting cheesy and lowly.

Well. Caring for the devil with all of Daniel's opinions. Jasmine did not care. Trying not to care exactly.

A mobile phone ringing disperse the daydream of Jasmine. He grabbed the object from a table not far from him and stared at the foreign number.

"Hello?" jasmine asked the question.

"It's me, Klayver. Jasmine, my situation is getting a little worse here. I want you to have more incentive to look after Alice. If things don't work out, take Alice to Liecester's family."

Jasmine slightly flinched. If Klayver had planned to bring Alice under the protection of the Liecester family, it would mean that the problem must have developed beyond Klayver's control.

Liecester's family is the only ace Klayver still has. It can be a weapon and can be a trap as well.

Klayver initially thought he would not use the Liecester family and related Alice to them. Admitting openly Alice is part of the Liecester family is very risky. All of Klayver's enemies could deduce his true identity and turn to attack Alice.

But if the situation is desperate, the only family that can provide the highest protection than Jasmine is the Liecester family. So, Klayver will take this risk. If circumstances no longer allow and her enemies begin to find out who the evil eyes really are, it will be safer for Alice to be in New York. It is better for Alice to be targeted by Klayver's enemies as long as she is in the protection of Liecester's extended family than to face danger alone.

"You sure you told me to take Alice to the Liecester family?" Jasmine repeated Klayver's request.

"Yes. But before that, protect Alice as much as you can. If things get out of hand, take her to my mom."

"alright. You don't want to talk to your wife directly?" Jasimine was trying to offer something Klayver must have really wanted.

There was a heavy sigh across there. Klayver must be feeling a dilemma right now.

"Send my regards to him. I can't communicate with him yet." There was pain Jasmine could hear from her friend's voice.

Jasmine didn't want to force Klayver too much. The man must have had his own reasons why he chose to withhold communication from his own wife.

"See you, Jasmine."

"Wait, Klayver." Jasmine suddenly remembered something.

"No. I'd like to tell you if you're gonna be a father soon."

There's a pause. Jasmine had no idea what Klayver was feeling right now. He could only second-guess what he said must have had a big effect.

"Alice pregnant?"

"Yes. Contain your child. It's probably been two months."

It is not every day that a man receives news that he is going to be a father. It was only natural that the news shocked Klayver in a way that Klayver had never felt before.

"You sure?"

Jasmine shook her head slowly, wondering why a man like Klayver could be this stupid.

"Very sure. Stop, Klayver. See you soon." Jasmine pressed the reject button and ended the connection.

Let Klayver sink into a new shock. That guy deserves a surprise like this. Imagining Klayver who usually has a cold expression is hit by news like this makes Jasmine laugh herself.

Clayvers, like men in general, have fragility in someone called a woman.

…

Klayver sat in an abandoned hideout in a corner of the city. He had just finished off two of his enemies about two kilometers from where he was through an automatic bomb he planted inside their house.

The two men are the main men of the head of a mafia gang that has long been eyeing him. Klayver stared at a small screen before him and was satisfied to see their corpses lying crushed in flames in the explosion. He connected one of the CCTV devices into his phone so that he could easily control the progress of his actions.

Clayver acted carefully. He covered all traces and fingerprints that could have led him to a complicated problem. But apparently his enemy was a pretty brilliant person. He connected his CCTV footage to a sophisticated device located on a central server so that any data that ever entered, would be passed on to the main server belonging to a larger mafia organization.

So, even though Klayver has managed to erase the last footage of him, it's still useless. Big bosses Rico and Pollo, the man he just finished off, have already managed to receive information on Klayver.

Klayver only realized this situation about ten minutes ago. The footage he removed from CCTV twice returned to the original again, failing to be removed after it had been emptied. After further investigation, it turned out that the data was connected to a central server. Damn indeed. Klayver can't risk himself trying to break into the central server right now. Everything is too risky. He lacked supporting technology so if he kept at it, Klayver would only expose himself faster.

The best thing right now is to hide. Klayver speculated that if the Black Hell organization had known of his identity, he could only play with speed to finish them off.

Black Hell's. It is a mafia organization that he has harmed several times because he dared to kill the main members of their group. It was only natural that the organization held a strong enough grudge. It is evident from the actions of Rico and Pollo who were sent by the organization to follow all of Klayver's actions. From there it can be concluded Klayver's position began to be unsafe.

Klayver restored her brown hair and let out a long sigh. His focus started to shake again every time he remembered the news Jasmine had just given him.

Alice's pregnant. In the midst of this complicated situation. She pregnant. My God, his wife is bearing the fruit of his love. The little guy he was looking forward to.

Envisioning Alice bringing new life into her stomach and growing larger over time brings her own warmth to Klayver.

Like a traveler, Klayver has long traveled without direction. Looking for a long-run destination.

Alice, was a destination she met in her adventure. Something very valuable for him, where for his sake he bet all things.

As a belief, Alice had become a religion for Klayver. Meals for every breath he has.

Now, in the womb of the woman has grown her fetus. The part of Klayver that Alice will keep for nine months.

A warm smile began to be etched into the corner of Klayver's lips. The shadow he would become of a father had danced in his mind. How is he not happy to see the little boy who will call Daddy and wrestle spoiled in his hands?

A great favor for Klayver was to find Alice and be united in marriage. Alice is a value that has been sought by her arid soul. Oase desired by his thirsty body.

The problem right now is the complexity of the problems experienced by Klayver. Problems always lurk Klayver like a moth approaching the fire. Klayver is unsure how long he will struggle with any conflicts from people he has been in contact with.

What Klayver wants is that he has to limit all of that mess from Alice. The woman was too pure, fragile, weak, and frail. It was as if Alice could be knocked down just because of a trivial matter.

"Alice dear, you are still too weak for now" whispered Klayver monologuing alone. She stared at the wedding ring she was wearing on her ring finger and kissed the small object affectionately.

For whatever reason, Klayver vowed to protect Alice and her children. He will create heaven for them as much as he can. As long as the breath is still blowing, as long as the wind is still blowing, all of Klayver will he dedicate to Alice.
