The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 18 Is Only for You

Khan opened his eyes. He was in a very strange room. Khan doesn't like being here. This place is too stuffy, and too cold. The light comes from only one candle that is next to the door, attached to a container that is attached to the wall. He saw something in the corner of the room. His eyes squinted, trying to adjust his vision in the dimly lit room.

Khan then moved closer to something in the corner. Something is moving. It turned out to be someone - not something. The person then looked up at him, and smiled sadly. Khan flinched, "Colorize.." he said. "What are you doing here? And where is this?" Khan rambled to himself, puzzled as to why he was suddenly in that place.

"Khan's..." The soft voice of Sintai sounded. Khan raised his head. He looked back towards Sintai. The woman's eyes began to glaze over, then slowly tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Khan was stunned, he felt a pain in the corner of his heart. "Why are you crying?" ask Khan.

"Please Khan, save me." Then Sarni's eyes turned blank. His face changed, there were streaks of wounds all over his face. Blood from the wound seemed to flow across the once smooth face. Sarnai's pretty face turned ghastly.

Khan looked startled, the sudden change made his face deathly pale. It was like seeing a horror movie. The woman then choked, she vomited blood. Khan came forward, wanting to help him. But as he tried to hold, his hand pierced through the woman's body. Khan couldn't get it. He tried it repeatedly, but the woman remained untouched. Khan is like grabbing empty air.

The man began to panic, upon seeing Sinta vomit more and more blood. "No, Colourize... Please don't do this to me. Whoever's in there, let me help him." Khan was crying, he felt helpless. He could not see the woman he loved getting hurt in front of his eyes.

Khan fell to his feet before Sarni, and more and more tears flowed from his eyes. "I'm sorry, Sintai, sorry I can't..." Khan stared resignedly at Sarnakan. The woman began to lie, her body was seen convulsing in front of Khan's eyes. "Colorize, noooo..."

Screams jumped from Khan's esophagus as he kicked the blanket, jerked up on the bed, and he pulled an oxygen hose in his nose. Shaking, he leaned his head on the pile of pillows located at the head of the bed with a breath of breath, his lungs burning.

A hand tried to touch his shoulder, pulling Khan from the creepy sight. "She, shh..." A soft voice sounded in his ears. The soft arms hugged him, pulling him closer. Smooth fingers flicked her hair, pushing it away from her face.

"It's okay, you're safe." Khan wiped away the tears as his cheeks leaned against someone's soft chest. Breath trembling. "Dream only. It was just a dream." he whispered. Khan closed his eyes, the smell of the skin of the person who was hugging him was soothing.

"You're fine." The soft voice resuscitated Khan. The man looked up at his face, and saw a shady glow from the night-black eyes. Staring at him with a clearly visible worried look.

"Goddessa..." The girl nodded her head while smiling sweetly. "Thank you." Then the man turned his head, looking reluctant to see Shanum. The girl looks to be frowning. He was confused as to why the man was avoiding him. Shanum realized something was wrong. He took his breath, and was forced to let go of his embrace.

"I'm sorry" Shanum whispered. "I've made you wretched, and made you dying. It's all because of me, sorry..." "Stop talking" Khan cut. The man turned to face her. Shanum immediately clenched his mouth, he did not say the next sentence.

He looked at Khan's face, his eyes, and saw anger and horror there. But what he does not see hurts him the most. It was his nightmare that came true. The man was angry, because Shanum had already harmed him, or disappointed that he had already killed someone.

It seemed like she felt like she had already lost that man-in everything. Shanum got up from his seat. His face looks cloudy. "All right, I'm leaving. Sorry if you're uncomfortable with my presence." "I'm not going to show up in front of you again" he said.

"What?" Khan's eyes widened. "Where to go?" "For now I'll just go back to my room. But I'm going to pack up soon and go back to my country" he said, very tired. "Goddessa..." The man reached out to Shanum and the girl quickly stepped back.

Shanum swallowed his uneasiness with great difficulty. "You need to get well soon, Adri. And may you find your happiness." Shanum stepped towards the door. "Shasha, come back here. Shit, I can't get up." The man tried to get out of bed. But he could not do it, his body fell back on the mattress, he was still limp.

Shanum turned his head back towards the man before he pressed the door handle. He looked at the angry look from the man's gaze. "Goodbye Adri." "Shasha, stop! Don't try to get out that door!" Shanum closed his eyes and tried to control himself. For God's sake, he doesn't need this. The girl immediately came out of the room. Khan's anger was still heard, before the door was closed by Shanum.

"You're done? Why did I hear Khan's voice earlier. Is he conscious?" Shanum smiled sadly, then nodded his head. "You sure you want to go? There's nothing that em...maybe left in there?" ask Dario. His eyes looked at Shanum's face. The girl's eyes looked teary. "Yes, I have to go. Please take me back to my room" Shanum pinta. Dario nodded his head, then took the girl towards the elevator.

Shanum had spilled his emotions on the bed, as soon as he got to the room. He feels very fragile. Shanum wants to go home and hide, free from having to act that he is fine, when in fact he is not. He took a deep breath, stepping towards the bathroom.

Shanum looked at the mirror, observing its reflection. The pitiful shadow of his face. Her eyes looked swollen, as a result of crying too much. His cheeks looked pale, losing their color due to sadness. Shanum was so hurt by Khan that it made it hard to breathe. He was very confused to see the change in Khan's mood.

Why did the man turn his face like that? Why was Khan angry when Shanum spoke to him? And why did Khan get annoyed when Shanum tried to leave before him? Khan gave a new understanding to the old saying about 'while cold for a while hot'.

Shanum then walked into the shower cubicle, turning his crew into a cold corner. He needed a cold shower, to cool his hot head. After that he got ready to rest, went back to the bed. Today was exhausting. All day she was in Khan's nursery, and ended up in a mess that stifled her chest.

"Hey, Sha," exclaimed Farah as Shanum walked in a step dragged into the dining room the next day. Shanum tried to get out of his room, he needed to fill his thrashing stomach. Last night he missed dinner.

Shanum also wanted to meet with his two friends to talk. And his wish was granted, his two friends were seen in the dining room, enjoying their breakfast time. "How are you doing?" Shanum gave his thumbs up, and walked towards the teapot filled with coffee.

He poured the coffee liquid into the cup available on the table, carrying the cup. Then sit on one of the benches at the dining table. He took a cup of bread and then started applying his favorite chocolate jam. Dario and Taban were seen at the dining room door. They stared at Shanum. The girl ignored him, and was engrossed in his bread.

"Sorry Miss Shanum, there's a bouquet of flowers for you." A waiter suddenly handed her a bouquet of red roses. The girl's eyebrows shot up looking at the bouquet of flowers proffered to her. He freezes.

"This is for me?" tanyanya did not believe. The waiter nodded his head, then left the room. Shanum held the bouquet doubtfully, and inhaled the fragrance deeply.

DON'T GO, SHASHA. WE GOTTA TALK.

ADRIAN KHAN

"From who?" ask Diva. "Em, from Khan," Shanum replied softly. Taban coughed, he choked on the coffee he was drinking. Dario instantly stopped his activities at the dining table, he smiled faintly while shaking his head. Diva and Farah looked gawking, they were shocked.

Suddenly Taban was already beside Shanum, he snatched the greeting card from his hand. "Gosh, this is right from Khan. Even he wrote himself a message on this card," Taban said flabbergasted. Shanum recaptured the greeting card while pouting. His thumb rubbed what he thought was Khan Adrian's handwriting.

The writing is firm, masculine, and sexy. Romantic cues from a man who can't do romantic things. In the middle of it, Shanum instantly drops a card on the table, he goes back to sipping coffee, hoping the caffeine can give him strength and restore his senses.

"It seems you're not impressed." Farah looked at him in wonder. "He was a nightmare to me. I just need to stay away to maintain my inner calm" he replied. Farah raised her eyebrows, confused at Shanum's explanation. "So it turns out this is what caused Khan to frenzy since last night" said Dario.

"Rubber, Khan forcibly removed his hose and tried to get out of bed. It takes four men to keep her in bed. And the only thing that could calm him was his mother. But I don't know until when it will last" Taban added.

"What's going on?" ask Diva. Taban shrugged his shoulders. And Shanum did not answer, then he got up from his seat. "I have to go back to my room. You two when I'm done waiting in the room." Shanum stepped away from the dining room. The four people in the dining room looked at each other. They did not understand Shanum's mood swings.

Farah knocked on Shanum's room door, and Diva tailed behind him. "Come in, the door is not in the key" Shanum shouted from inside the room. Farah opened the door, they were now inside the girl's room. Shanum seemed to be smiling, hinting at them to sit on the small sofa in the room.

Farah carried the bouquet of flowers she had left earlier in the dining room. He put it on the dresser. "Just throw away the flowers, I don't want to keep them" Shanum said. Both of them looked at me, and smiled wryly. "Okay, the flowers will be for me. Honey, flowers as beautiful as this are thrown away," replied the Diva. Shanum did not comment further, then he stared at his two friends.

"So, you guys can already accept the incident the other day?" tanyakanya. The flower talk was forgotten. Farah and Diva nodded their heads. "Tell me, how are you feeling?"

"We were both very shocked at first. While being engrossed in our activities in the room knew there were two men who were struggling to pull us out of the room. They said there was smoke, we had to get out of the house. Trying not to panic I followed the two men. When I was outside I felt relieved to see you there. At least we're all safe.

But suddenly I saw a suspicious reflection of light from behind the tree, and an arrowhead appeared from there. The arrow points towards you. I didn't have time to act, my distance was too far. Then I saw Khan Adrian lunging at you. He was trying to protect you. I saw a red glow coming out of the man's body. You know, it's like I'm on the set of the Avengers movies and other superhero movies, it's amazing.

Then what happens next is an event beyond the bounds of ordinary human eye reason," said Farah. "Yes, especially when I see the golden light coming out of your hand, burning the man's body, and making him ashes. That terrible event will never be forgotten in my entire life. We had to be sworn in before Dario, Taban and Khan's mother, to keep this a secret. Otherwise, our lives are at stake" Diva added.

Shanum seemed to be frowning. "You're sworn?" "Yes, we're sworn. And they told us about their clan" Farah replied. "They told you about their secrets, but not me" Shanum exclaimed. "Err. We don't know why they didn't tell you" Farah said nervously.

"Why, by the way, did you get that light out, Sha? What is Khan Adrian? Maybe because you were hugged by her, her power moved to you?" Diva's face looked solemnly asked Shanum. And Diva's question just melted down a little bit the atmosphere that was starting to heat up.

"That's..." Shanum. "Ishh. If you ask that first thought," cut Farah. "Lho, I just want to express my curiosity, why are you the sewot." Diva folded her hands in front of her chest, her face looking annoyed. Shanum chuckled amusedly at the quarrel of his two best friends. He missed that ridiculous behavior. "Hey, no, don't fight." Diva still looked pouted and Farah just shrugged her shoulders, a sign of not caring.

Shanum held the shoulder of the Diva, and said, "The light has been there since birth. Mom and Dad told me once, but I didn't know it was a force that could kill. And I also just saw and felt the light myself when it happened the other day. This has nothing to do with Khan Adrian" Shanum said.

"So you just found out, too, Sha? For all the impossibilities that happened?" ask Diva. Shanum nodded his head. "I'm sorry, Sha. You must have been shaken up then too. We are not comforting you, but rather fear and dare not approach you." Farah showed her shoulder face. "It's okay, I get it. You are just ordinary people, it is certainly difficult to see that extraordinary thing. I myself until this moment still feel like a dream" Shanum replied with a faint smile.

"Oh yeah, Sha, um.about the conversation in the dining room earlier. What happened, please explain to us?" ask Diva to know. Shanum stood up slowly. His gaze was shifted to the window in the room. He looked out the window. Both of his friends waited for Shanum's answer.

"I kept the man in the room where he was being treated, hoping he would come to his senses soon. When the man woke up, I saw him screaming and crying. I hugged her, and tried to calm her down. I was very worried then. He was poisoned, and was in a near-death situation." Shanum flipped his body, he looked back at his two friends.

"How do you feel, when you see a man who tries to protect you to the point of sacrificing himself, lying dying for you. But when he woke up, this man tried to avoid. He turned cold" Shanum said. Farah turned stiff. "Is that what he said?" "Yes, he told me to stop talking. I can't help the pain in my heart hearing her words."

"I think you're scaring him, Sha. Until he dodges to cover up the taste" Farah said. "No, I'm more sure he's embarrassed. You saw him screaming and crying. Sometimes a man's ego is too high will make him feel not manly if crying. He didn't want to show his weakness in front of a woman" Diva said.

"Where do you know? As if I had a lot of experience," said Farah. "Hey, I have eyes, I like to read. So not necessarily the experience is obtained from the real story," said Diva. "Well, how smart his brain is, not Lemot" Farah said. Diva rolled her eyeballs. Shanum was fixated, he seemed to be thinking about the words of his two best friends.

The girl approached the dresser, and took the business card embedded there. Then he rubbed the card with a faint smile. "So that flower still wants to be thrown away?" ask Farah. "It looks like Khan Adrian is very sorry, Sha. The proof is that he forbids you from going and wants to talk to you. Duh, how romantic. Poor thing, Sha. She's been working hard to get flowers for you" Diva added.

Shanum then raised his hand to surrender. "OK, okay. I'll see him later." Diva seemed to smile with satisfaction at Shanum's reply.
