THE STAR OF HEAVEN

PART 19'S

Zalynda shivered feeling the grip of Yono's hand on his neck. The girl was cornered at the end of the bench

"Do you know how much it cost me to treat when I was beaten in the alley?" His fury Yono

"It's not Za's business! Om deserves to be beaten for harassing Za!" Snappy Za with remaining courage. His voice sounded vibrating

Yono grinned, his clutches getting strengthened making Zalynda slightly cough

"Yourselfish.."

"That's your business, sweetie." Yono approached Zalynda's face. The breath of Yono who smelled of cigarettes made Zalynda asphyxiate. Yono's hand moved towards Zalynda's nape and gripped her so that part of Zalynda's hair was attracted

"Aah.sakit.." Zalynda screamed while holding Yono's hand which gripped his nape

"You're a pretty girl, yet fierce and rebellious. Your price will be very expensive, dear..." Said Yono while whispering in Zalynda's ear

Zalynda surprised. Zalynda stares at Yono while trying to release Yono's grip on his nape

Zalynda looked up at Yono's evil grin.

"You could be my money mine." Yono chuckled then with all his might pulled the nape of Zalynda so that the girl was dragged following him into the rain

"Op off! Aah sick!" Zalynda thrashed hysterically while trying to escape from Yono

"You have to make money for me tonight, even if only last night that guy would pay a lot for a girl like you. Haha." Yono laughed as he continued to pull Zalynda

Zalynda continued to scream and thrash. But the harder Zalynda struggled, the more harsh Yono's treatment was to her. Zalynda did not give up, she would rather die than be a slave to Yono's money machine

Suddenly Yono felt a grip on his arm. Yono turned his head, a young man with glittering eyes angrily looked at Yono. A second later Yono felt pain in his chin due to the fist from the young man

"Aargha.." Yono's grip on Zalynda's nape was automatically released when the man fell down. Not yet had Yono stood up, the young man was already on top of him and beating Yono up

Yono felt pain as the young man beat him to pieces. His head became dizzy, his consciousness slightly decreased. Yono was sure his face was already battered. The taste of blood felt in his mouth

The young man released himself violently. Samar Yono saw the young man standing up, walked up to the sitting Zalynda and carried the girl and took her away

"Heah.shit! Fail again!" Whisper Yono's heart while lying in front of Edah's cake shop, letting the rain fall on him

***

Ray stared at Zalynda's back from the open door. Ray knew the girl was still awake from her slow stuffing

Fortunately, Ray came on time to see a man pulling Zalynda from Edah's bu-store into the rain

Zalynda's screams and the girl's agonized expression made Ray boil. Ray immediately ran over to the man and beat him to a pulp

Ray still remembered how Zalynda's frightened expression was when Ray touched the girl's shoulder. Ray feels guilty for not picking up the girl on time. Ray immediately carried Zalynda to his car

"Za.." call Ray while knocking on the door. The girl turned her head slightly towards Ray, then lay back down

"Can I come in?" Ask Ray again

There was no response from Zalynda. Ray breathed. Ray understood the girl must be mad at him. Ray looked down

"Come on Ray, this is your apartment." Zalynda's voice made Ray look up. Ray immediately went into Zalynda's room and sat down on the edge of the bed. Zalynda wiped her tears before telling Ray to come in

Slowly Ray's hand extended to caress Zalynda's hair. Zalynda moved slightly to avoid Ray's hand so Ray stopped his hand movement. His hands automatically clenched

"I'm sorry I'm late to pick you up." Said Ray

"It's okay." Zalynda said flatly without looking at Ray

Ray looked at Zalynda with a smile, "Women, if you say papa, it means nothing."

Zalynda snorted while closing her eyes.

"I took my mother to the hospital."

Zalynda's eyes immediately opened and looked at Ray with a worried look

Ray laughed a little. The young man pulled Zalynda's hand to sit next to him

"No, check monthly. You worried?" Ray asked as he looked into Zalynda's eyes. Zalynda bowed avoiding Ray's eyes

Ray's hand moved to tuck Zalynda's hair behind his ear. The girl gasped a little but did not refuse

"My phone was left in the office. That's why I can't call you." Ray's fingers gently stroked Zalynda's blushing cheeks as she watched the girl's reaction. Ray gently raised Zalynda's chin for the girl to look at him

"So. You forgive me?"

Zalynda looked at Ray with a small smile and nodded

"Thank you for coming on time, Ray. I don't know what happens if you don't come." said Zalynda quietly

Ray immediately grabbed Zalynda into his arms. For a moment Zalynda's body stiffened. Ray gently rubbed Zalynda's head and back

"I won't let anyone hurt you, Za. You can count on me." whispered Ray gently as he tightened his embrace

Slowly Zalynda's body relaxed. Zalynda wrapped her hands around Ray's waist and placed her head on Ray's shoulder. Zalynda's eyes were closed enjoying the warm feeling that spread not only in his body, but also in his heart and soul.

A very calming hug..

They hugged for quite a while. Ray felt Zalynda's regular gasps pop down his neck. As a normal man, Ray was quite distracted by that breath

Ray gently caressed Zalynda's body. There was no response.

"Za.." call Ray while looking at Zalynda's face

"Oh my God, it's sleeping!" Ray murmured in his heart

Ray carefully laid Zalynda on the bed and covered her. Ray lay down next to Zalynda

In her sleep Zalynda felt a warmth on her side. The girl clenched close to the warmth and coiled inside

***

Zalynda's alarm clock rings at 4 a.m

Zalynda's hand was about to reach out to the weker that was on the table next to his bed. Before the girl could reach out, the alarm had already stopped ringing

"Mahoo.." Zalynda squirmed, hugging a warmth and about to return to dreamland

"Wait on! Who turned off the alarm clock? Then whose body am I holding?" Zalynda

The girl's eyes opened wide. Immediately put his head up and see Ray who is still closed. His hands were seen sticking out like they had turned off Zalynda's alarm clock

"Haah.I slept in Ray's arms!" Bathin Zalynda panicked. His face was very hot

Slowly Zalynda released Ray's hand which was coiled around his shoulder. Slowly, afraid Ray woke up

Ray felt a movement on his side. The young man pulled the tip of his lips. Ray woke up to turn off Zalynda's alarm. It's just that Ray still wants to enjoy hugging Zalynda until the young man returns to lie down and enjoy the heat from Zalynda's body

Jail intent arises in Ray's brain. When Zalynda was about to get up, Ray changed his position and hugged Zalynda like a roll

Zalynda was suffocated in shock. Immediately covered his mouth, worried his screams woke Ray up. Zalynda looked up at Ray's face so close. Slowly the girl rewinded her body to see Ray's face more clearly

Ray felt Zalynda's fingers gently caressing the side of his face. Ray reflexes clenched his hands to dispel the feeling arising from the touch of Zalynda

"Hiks.."

"Eh?"

Ray spontaneously opened his eyes hearing Zalynda sobbing. Sure enough, the girl's face was already covered in tears

"Zw.."
