Tough Princess

Lyn Zico's

"Sister! Brother!"

Zico who was busy playing his new firearm looked serious until he no longer heard the screams of his sister Lyn who drowned in the pool which was not far from the position Zico was in. The sound of music so loud that Zico could not hear Lyn's screams clearly even though they were very close.

Until suddenly Zico spilled a bottle of mineral water located not far from his weapon lying. The man immediately turned off the burning music.

It was at that moment that Zico felt something strange. He looked towards the pool looking calm before he finally saw Lyn appear one last time before drowning.

"Lynn!" Zico ran very fast. He wants to save Lyn.

Without waiting again he swam to help his younger brother. Unfortunately, Lyn is no longer alive. But Zico hasn't noticed. Zico led Lyn to the edge. All the ways he did to make Lyn come back to consciousness. But all in vain because indeed Lyn has been killed since he was still in the pool.

"Lynn!"

...***...

Zico regained his senses from his daydreams as Eren began to slowly move his hand. The woman also began to open her eyes. Eren raised his hand then held his head that felt dizzy. The woman is still unaware that she is in the hospital.

"You're sober?" Zico got up from the chair he was sitting in. It seemed like the man wanted to leave immediately when he found out that Eren was fine.

Eren looked to the side. He frowned when he saw Zico standing there. Faintly the events of this morning again revolved in his memory. The woman's face was immediately filled with anger.

"You can just stand by to watch me! If only you'd gone into the pool and saved me then maybe I wouldn't have fainted like this. Did you want to see me die on purpose?" ketus Eren is upset. It is still clear how Zico stood on the edge of the pool for a while when Eren kept asking for help. The incident makes Eren worse than Zico.

"I'll ask Lusi to accompany you. I have a lot of work today!" Zico quickly left without explaining anything. The man's face looked unfriendly this afternoon. Eren tried to sit down. At that time, his condition was much better.

"You really are a man with no conscience!" eren shouted annoyed. At the same time Lusi and Luis went inside. They were happy to see Eren able to sit down and were doing well. But they were also confused when they saw Zico standing near the exit.

"I leave Eren to you" Zico told Luci before the man left. Luis also immediately chased after him from behind.

Lusi looked towards Eren for a moment before closing the door. He walked slowly closer to Eren while smiling happily. "Miss Elma is on her way here, boss. I'm sorry for being forced to contact Miss Elma. Miss Elma called your number all of a sudden, but because you didn't pick up her phone call. Miss Elma became so worried that she finally contacted me and forced me to tell her the truth."

"I feel so much better now. It looks like I can go home" Eren said as he lowered his leg.

"Boss, just sit for a second. At least you can go home when the doctor has guaranteed your condition is fine. Miss Elma is also on her way here. Do you have the heart to see Miss Elma disappointed because when she got here you were gone?"

Susi lifted both of Eren's legs and placed them on the bed. The woman also presses a button that is next to the bed for the doctor to appear immediately to check.

"You're right. Brother Elma will be sad."

"Boss, it's not like that's actually happening," defended Lusi because he already knew the truth.

"Why are you not on my side anymore? I clearly saw it. He came when I had trouble swimming. My feet suddenly couldn't be moved because the water in the pool was too cold."

"Boss, actually Mr. Zico was traumatized by the pool. Not just swimming pools, but oceans, rivers and even lakes. He had not dared to enter it since his sister had drowned in the pool. I don't know the full story myself. But that's the information I got from Luis. I hope after hearing this explanation you don't misunderstand Mr. Zico anymore."

"He has a sister?" eren asked with a serious face. Even Eren himself does not know how the life of her husband and who the family that her husband has. Now the woman felt guilty for turning on Zico with such a painful sentence.

"Yes, Boss. But you also need to know one thing. That Mr. Zico jumped into the pool before I got there. He is the one who helps you until you can finally be helped and can be taken to the hospital. The doctor himself said, a little too late to take you to the hospital so your life is not helped. Doesn't that mean you now owe your life to Mr Zico?"

"Don't he leave because he's hurt to hear what I'm saying?" Eren's face was getting sad.

"We'd better not think about Mr. Zico's problem for now, boss. We need to focus on your health. I'll get a doctor to check on you. Looks like this button doesn't work at all." Luci turned his body and walked to the door.

Eren nodded in agreement. The woman again regretted the mistake she had just made. Along with that, the door was wide open. Elma and Rivan show up. Elma's face looked very panicked. The woman immediately ran over to Eren.

"Eren, are you okay? Brother was so scared when he heard that you drowned in the pool. Actually what do you think to the point that you drown in the pool. Aren't you a good swimmer." Although now Elma is very worried about Eren's condition, but it feels his heart is not satisfied if he does not scold his sister. "I'm still keeping all this a secret from Daddy. I don't want to let Daddy know and think."

"I'm wrong because I took a shower in the pool early in the morning. The water was so cold that my feet felt stiff and could no longer move. Lusi has also warned me repeatedly but I remain stubborn and keep bathing in the pool. Even when I haven't had breakfast." Eren admits his mistake so that Elma does not continue to blame him.

"Eren, if you don't want to give me a heart attack. Do not repeat mistakes like this again. You're married at least think more mature." Elma searched all the rooms when she could not find Zico there. "Where's your husband? Why didn't you see it was here?"

"He left because of business. He'll be back, too." Eren is trying to defend Zico. She had misunderstood her husband. Eren does not want to until Elma also followed a misunderstanding because he saw Zico was not in the hospital.

...***...

Zico stopped his car at the funeral. Behind him was Luis' car, which had been following him from behind since the hospital. Zico immediately went down while carrying a bouquet of flowers that he bought on the side of the road. The man held back his footsteps for a moment when he saw the tombs lined up neatly before him. Among the tombs so crowded there are the graves of his parents and also his biological sister.

Every time he came to that place Zico always felt alone. Although he now has loyal bodyguards like Luis and loyal troops to accompany him, Zico still feels that in this world he only lives alone.

Luis stayed in the car. This scene is common. Zico never wanted to talk again until he was approached while visiting his family's grave. Luis decided to stay in the car and watch the man from a distance.

Zico held back his footsteps when he was near the tomb of Lyn and his parents. The man placed the bouquet of flowers he had bought near the tombstone inscribed with Lyn's name. The man crouched down and held the tombstone with teary eyes. Wiped it with feeling.

"So it happened that time I hated all the puddles including swimming pools, rivers and oceans.Even since that incident, I prefer to avoid places surrounded with water. I knew it wasn't the wrong water but myself. Because I can't hear your screams when you ask for help. I can't imagine how painful it is when that water fills your lungs. You might even feel disappointed when I don't show up to save you. Today the same thing happened again. But the difference is I have the courage to help him. The woman I married a while ago. I hope you're not angry. I hope you don't compare my former treatment with my present one. Sleep quietly there." Zico looked towards the sky that looked so bright. "Sooner or later we will meet. I hope when we meet later, you don't blame me."
