The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 84 Denial

A few minutes after he returned from wandering in the psychic realm, Shanum looked anxious and started pacing around in his room. He was still thinking about the barrier wall blocking it and trying to turn the brain to find a solution. Why do walls always appear?

In a dream the other day he found an invisible wall blocking him from helping his lover who was screaming in pain, then there was another wall that let out a cold. If in the future he had to rediscover the wall or whatever was blocking him, maybe he would go on a violent rampage.

The sound of knocking on the door broke the emotion that was afflicting him. Shanum rushed towards the door, opened it and found Eej standing smiling at him. The woman immediately gestured wordlessly to him to follow her.

He took her to the living room sofa, where there were already his two best friends. Eej asked her to sit next to the woman and then spread her gaze towards the three girls.

"You must be confused as to what I gathered you here for." The woman looked at the three seriously. "I just wanted to say goodbye, and asked Shanum for help to look after my son, during my departure. Surely you two can also accompany Shanum," Eej said as he looked towards Diva and Farah.

Shanum was stunned to hear the woman's words, as were his two best friends. Beyond his common sense, he secretly felt astonished when he realized that his brain felt like it was going to die because it was happy to hear that it would take care of Khan.

It is as if someone has given excessive power to the main system, circuit after circuit, and the entire system will die from overload. Shanum felt dizzy.

He can't faint now! He needs to know the reason the woman left and shift the responsibility for the man to him. But his body, overwhelmed by what he had experienced from the beginning today.

Starting from the fear of losing her lover, grief finds the man forgetting her, and lastly anxiety about the barrier contained in their bond.

"Why is your face paled, Shanum?" Eej called out to him with a worried look. Shanum blinked his eyes, trying to reach out to his consciousness so as not to disappear.

Suddenly he felt something thrust into his lips. He immediately took a sip and found the sweet and fragrant taste of the warm tea that tasted delicious.

"So I made a sweet pot of tea to enjoy with biscuits as a snack" Diva said with a smile. "And it turns out you need it now too" he added.

"It looks like Shanum is in shock, Mam. Maybe he should rest. Is it possible for the rest of the day that someone else is looking after your son?" sahut Farah.

Shanum cleared weakly. "I'm fine." He tried to get up from his seat.

"No. You need to rest, Shanum. I'll delay my departure tomorrow" cut Eej, pulling the girl back to her seat. He then patted her hand gently. "Now you enter the room, sleep well" the woman ordered.

Shanum opened his mouth to deny it. The girl would not be able to sleep with her troubled mood like this. But Eej's view states, he does not want to accept any rebuttal from her. So he had to nod his head.

Shanum then returns to the room, escorted by his two best friends and Eej. They immediately closed the door after seeing that Shanum had broken down his body. The girl tried to close her eyes. And not according to his prediction, he immediately fell asleep shortly after his head touched the pillow.

***

Shanum wakes up from his slumber slowly, emerging from a cluster of nightmares as he runs around in panic, chases Khan, and loses the man through a vanished door before he can reach it.

The girl took a deep breath, closed her eyes again, sorting through her thoughts. He goes to Astrakhan to save his lover from the brink of death. As he managed to make the man recover, he instead got in pain seeing the man lose his memory of himself.

Now he must decide if he can make it through the days of looking after the man, without going mad at the sight of a cold and unfamiliar look that radiates from the man's eyes.

Was he able to accept the stiff attitude that the man was going to take towards her? Once before he was the center of the man's world, and vice versa.

Slowly, Shanum opened his eyes. Even though the light in the room was dim, a dim golden light still filled the room, coming from the morning light coming in from the cracks of the windows. He had forgotten to close the curtain on the window yesterday, before he fell asleep.

Shanum blinked his eyes and tried to get out of bed. Staggered he headed to the bathroom, instantly clearing himself there.

After finishing from the bathroom, he opened the doorknob, exited the room, headed for the kitchen to make food. His stomach was hungry because he missed dinner yesterday.

Shanum noticed breakfast was surprisingly readily available at the dining table. He was confused, unable to decide whether to make his own food or eat what was available.

"Thank God you're awake, Shanum. So I don't have to wake you up anymore. I have to leave this morning." Suddenly a voice sounded out greeting him.

The girl turned her head and found Eej already pulling the table stool and immediately sat down. "Let's have breakfast first, Shanum. Here, sit next to me!" The woman shifted the stool and pulled her hand. The girl could not refuse to sit next to the woman.

They had breakfast together in silence. After Eej finished, he looked at Shanum. "Don't forget to look after my son, Shanum. I hope you can be patient with him" he said. Shanum did not understand the patient intent spoken by him. What would Khan do to her?

"How long, you gonna go, Eej? Sorry, if I'm presumptuous," asked Shanum.

The woman raised her next to her eyebrows. "Are you coming back soon to your country?" tanyakanya. The woman asked him back.

"Em, not really. But..." Shanum replied with doubt emanating in his eyeballs.

"You don't have to worry, he already knows what you mean in his life. I told him you were his girlfriend" said Eej.

"Have you said that?" repeated Shanum with a shocked expression.

"Yes, and his reaction was of course the same as your expression right now. If it wasn't me who said it to himself, maybe he wouldn't believe it. My hope is that by saying about your relationship, she can be better at treating you."

"Em, did he give another reaction as well, Eej?" shanum asked again with a curious face. Shanum waited with little hope that the man remembered a little about him.

"Hmm, there seems to be no other reaction. I don't know, I'm not sure what he felt at the time either. All I saw was that he immediately closed himself off with his indecipherable cold expression," Eej replied with a sigh. The hope within Shanum instantly dimmed at Eej's words just now.

"But he has promised to be kind to you, Shanum," she said. He tried to make the sad expression on Shanum's face slightly lessened.

"You made him promise like that?" para Shanum with a face of disbelief. Eej nodded her head with a smile rising at the corner of her lips.

The woman immediately got up, and took her handbag from the bench next to her. Then again raised a faint smile towards Shanum, while walking towards the exit.

Shanum returned his smile and waved. After Khan's mother came out of the penthouse, she sighed deeply. Now he has to fulfill his duty to take care of the man. Hope everything goes well. He will begin practicing the advice of his two best friends yesterday, to approach Khan again. Although it feels sliced, now that his position has become reversed, he must chase after the man.

Shanum got up from his seat, then tidied up the dining table and washed the dirty dishes of his and Eej's former breakfast. Not to forget he closed the food that was still left at the dining table. So that later can be enjoyed by his two friends.

After all the business at the dining table and kitchen was done, he took his sling bag from the room. The girl also took her phone, she typed in a series of message words for her two best friends who were still sound asleep.

Shanum's headed for Khan's nursery. The girl seemed hesitant when she opened the door. He was pensive at the door. I don't know why the restless feeling was afflicting him at this moment. Shanum then shook his head, raised his head, and straightened his body. He must be brave, must not be afraid. That man was just Khan, the person he loved.

Shanum slowly opened the door, he saw the light of the room was already brightly lit. And there, facing the door, sat the man who was her lover. Or now only he considers her a lover. As for the man, it is uncertain how he feels about Shanum.

Whatever his status, the man looked at Shanum who was standing at the door, his expression illegible, except for someone who was fixedly staring into his eyes.

Those golden brown eyes, looked similar to tiger eyes. It looks deadly and full of mystery. His gaze disarmed Shanum, slowly and deliberately, as if to take him low. Highlight the man's calm eyes as if burning it, stirring a surge from his chest to Shanum's stomach.

Shanum looked back at him. He felt back to the moment when he met the man at the airport. That look of disdain re-emerged. But his guts never shrieked, he was not afraid of receiving an intimidating look from the man.

Shanum closed the door, he raised his chin and continued walking, aware that the man's gaze continued to follow him. After facing Khan, he realized the man clearly looked healthier. His handsome face had re-emerged his tone.

Shanum tried to be friendly, he nodded and smiled towards the man. "Good morning, how are you?" shanum asked in a soft voice.

Waves of hatred emanated from the man and grabbed Shanum. It made him feel a tight squeeze on his heart. The man said nothing, but he saw a piercing glare as the man's jaw muscles twitched, as if biting his own tongue.

Shanum stared back at Khan. Did this man become mute? And what caused him to have to get a hostile view of the man?

"How are you doing?" reset Shanum. The man still didn't heed it. He moved closer to the table, wanting to put back his breakfast tray, which he had finished. Shanum tried to help, but the man brushed his hand away. The girl was shocked to receive the treatment.

Hmm, okay. Shanum only learned that the rude attitude turned out to now appear in the man's behavior. Shanum sighed. His patience is being tested at this time.

"Look, if you don't like me being here just say it well. I'm just trying to keep my promise to Eej to take care of you" Shanum said.

"I'm not a child, there's no need to look after." Finally the man spoke. He scooped up and looked back at Shanum with a piercing look. Holy hooch! The man is upsetting.

"I think you look a lot like a child, looking at your behavior from a long time ago" Shanum said.

The man's jaw tightened even more, his eyes getting sharper. "I don't know you. So don't expect me to be nice to you. You better leave me alone. And before you go out, tell the doctor I want to go home today."

Shanum looked up at him, he could see the stern demeanor in the man's eyes, feeling a chill emanating from him. There was something so dark about him that he was sure there was not the slightest virtue in him.

Has the influence of black magic not completely disappeared from him? He actually turned into a man Shanum did not know. Men seem to dislike it. The girl could not think of it - her body was trembling.

"Why haven't you gotten out of front of me? Leave immediately!" His hands waved with a rude repelling motion.

Shanum's paled face received the expulsion. He felt his heart ache and his eyes began to tear up. Shanum bit his lip, trying to hold him back from crying in front of the man.

"Remove that hurt look from your face! I don't like to see it!" snarled the man with a loud voice. The man knew, he could see his sadness. The girl lowered her head, she was still trying to organize her shattered feelings.

"Don't expect me to feel sorry for you. Even though Eej said a lot of silly things, I still never believed that you were my lover. Starting today remove that taste from your mind. There is no need to dream that I will continue that doubtful relationship ever" Khan said again with a cold expression and his feet.

The man's harsh words made his face instantly look up, his heart suddenly hardened. His clenched hands held back the anger. His emotions skyrocketed to accept the entire humiliation, and did not accept being insulted like that by him. It doesn't matter if the man has a soul bond with her, or he has promised the man's mother even once. Shanum wants to beat him up.

"I don't know what you mean to say such harsh words to me? If I could today as well I would very much like to untie the bonds of our souls," sissed Shanum with his mouth tightened. Still trying to contain his anger.

Shanum's words clearly startled Khan, he saw something gushing within the man, and one eyebrow slowly raised. "I didn't think your mouth was too brave to tell a lie" he growled. Khan's eyes changed, his gaze suddenly down Shanum's body boldly, so he could feel his skin heating up as a result of the man's gaze. The man's eyes seemed to be indecent.

"You're a little interesting. But it still doesn't fit my criteria. And what did you say, my soul mate?! You..no way!" the man then laughed loudly. His laughter sounded half insulting and half disparaging.

Shanum refrained from going straight out of the room, despite wanting to do so. He walked quietly toward the man despite his heart pounding. His back was straight, his chin raised high. He could feel the sharp gaze of the man following his steps. The man would be surprised at what he was currently going to do. And it's not Shanum's name if he just keeps quiet when trampled, because it can't happen.

Shanum got closer and then suddenly he punched the man in the face hard. Khan's body jerked backwards. His head hit the bed support pole, and lay on the mattress. Shanum felt his fingers as if they were falling out, but he tried to hold them back.

The man slowly woke up. His eyes seemed unfocused, his lips were torn, his nose was broken with just one punch. Khan was stunned, he rubbed the blood flowing from his nose and lips.

"Listen to you, you bastard! If I could, I would also like to hit your head many times, so that your diseased brain can remember. Inside your body is my blood. If it wasn't for my blood, you would have died horribly. I never asked for a reply or a thank you from you. All I did was because you were a man who meant something to me." Shanum looked at Khan sharply, his eyes gleaming furiously and his entire body emitted a freezing chill.

"But I was wrong. If you know how to break this soul bond, call me. There's no need for you, just Dario or Taban to call me. Because I am not interested and do not want to deal with men who are rude, contemptible and feel the truest of him," Shanum continued in a loud voice.

Then Shanum straightened his body. The girl raised her chin haughtily. "Oh about that punch, for me, it's an expression of all the fear, sadness, and pain I've had over the past two months" he said, smiling sarcastically.

"I should have hit you three times, according to the three flavors I experienced. But I still have a sense of humanity, I don't want to make your mother sad, because it's made her dear son die again."

The girl looked at the battered face of Khan for the last time with a cold look. Trying to cover his broken heart. Then he headed for the door, opened it and closed it back without a doubt.
