Love Worth Fighting For

48 To freedom

Seeing that Suri was no longer angry when she was near Areez made Aldrich even more confused, he still couldn’t believe what Suri’s drastic change was.

“What have you done to her?” Aldrich whispered softly to Areez who was pretending to be busy with his digital tablet.

Areez shrugged his shoulders up. “No, I didn’t do anything.”

“Then why did the female cheetah become submissive to you?”

Areez shook his head slowly. “I don’t understand either, last night she was just this cute. I really didn’t do anything to her.”

Aldrich was silent, he was trying to analyze all of Areez’s explanations. “If I’m right, it looks like Mira has started to fall in love with you, Areez.”

Areez who was trying to steal glances at Suri who was learning to embroider immediately turned her face quickly to Aldrich.

“What are you saying?”

“Mira seems to be in love with you, her gentle demeanor shows it all. I think Mira is starting to have feelings for you,” replied Aldrich knowingly.

.....

Areez did not respond to Aldrich’s words, he was still stuck in time when Aldrich said that Suri had started to fall in love with him. Although he had been in a serious relationship with a woman he almost married, this was the first time Areez had a different feeling when he was with Suri.

“If Mira is this nice to you, it looks like you can start talking about your wedding plans in the near future, Areez,” said Aldrich again.

“Talk about wedding plans?”

“Yeah, you have to take advantage of this moment to tie Mira even tighter, Areez. That way she won’t be able to let go of you again, isn’t this what you want? To have Mira completely.” Aldrich again reminded Areez’s great desire to have Suri as the only woman in his life.

Areez was silent, his eyes turned back to Suri who had just drank her favorite apple juice. Seeing Suri who had smiled a lot at him made Areez so happy, Areez seemed to have forgotten all of Suri’s rude behavior over the past three years. What Areez doesn’t know is that at this time in her intelligent brain, Suri has planned so neatly and so well. The intelligence inherited from Jack and Anne began to work on her, after all this time using only violence, Suri finally decided to choose a subtle way to end all the confinement Areez did to her. Suri decided to soften herself a little when she was with Areez because she was sure this way her plan would work, Suri knew that Areez was so crazy about her. That’s why she wanted to use Areez’s exaggerated feelings to help her escape.

From where she is currently sitting, Suri just smiled slightly seeing Areez blushing many times. “Whatever you are thinking right now will never come true, Areez. Keep dreaming because I will never marry you.”

“Ouch ..”

“Sorry miss...sorry ..”

Suri shook her head quickly. “No, you don’t need to apologize, it was my fault for being unfocused.”

Areez, who immediately ran when he heard Suri’s scream, was already standing in front of Suri and the maid who helped her embroider.

“You, what have you done to Mira, huh?!” Areez rebuked the maid who was already so frightened.

“S..sorry sir..i-I...”

“Areez.” Suri immediately called out Areez’s name softly. “It’s my fault, not her. I wasn’t focused, that’s why my finger got stuck with a needle.”

“No Mira, you don’t defend her this is her fault for not serving me,” Areez said curtly without letting go of his murderous gaze at the maid whose whole body was shaking beside Suri.

Suri took a deep breath, she had decided to choose this path because of that Suri had no other way. Suri slowly raised the index finger of her right hand which had been pierced by a needle towards Areez.

“See, it’s okay, right? There are no wounds or blood, I was just a little surprised earlier,” said Suri softly. “Don’t scold her anymore, she’s innocent. It’s really my fault.”

Areez’s gaze softened, seeing Suri showing her unharmed slender finger made Areez calm. His chest, which had previously been so tight, now felt relieved.

Without speaking, Areez then grabbed Suri’s body inviting her to get up. “Don’t embroider anymore, I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“But I’m bored, Areez,” replied Suri quickly. “I need activities to get rid of all this boredom.”

“Bored?”

Suri nodded quickly. “Yeah, I’m bored. You’re not letting me go back to the academy, so if I don’t embroider what am I going to do? I can get bored if I don’t do anything, Areez.” Suri’s eyes looked at Areez expectantly.

“You want to take a walk with me outside?’ asked Areez absentmindedly.

“No, I’m also tired of walking around the garden at our house. There’s nothing else to see, I’ve even memorized every plant in the garden,” said Suri quickly. “I want to see something new, fun and I’ve never seen...but, you definitely won’t let me. out to see it all right? So I’m already at home, watching TV and reading the magazines that you have prepared for me.”

After saying that Suri then removed Areez’s hand from her arm and walked towards the stairs to go up to her room on the second floor, Suri walked with her head down. Trying to give Areez the impression that she was so tired of being at home all the time, Suri also glanced at Aldrich to make sure that Areez’s best friend heard everything she said earlier to Areez. Because Aldrich knew what she had said to Areez, Suri was sure that the blonde man would give Areez advice to take her out of the house.

And Suri’s guess was right, because not long after she climbed the stairs to return to her room, Aldrich immediately approached Areez. The two people then engaged in a serious conversation, which could not be resolved. heard by Suri who had almost arrived on the second floor.

“Hold on Suri... hold on... you have to be able to keep on defending. It’s your attitude in front of that crazy monster, you can’t make him suspicious in the slightest. You have to show him that you are now starting to melt with him,” said Suri softly while patting her chest, trying to contain the flames that had grown in there.

Because she didn’t want her acting to be exposed, Suri then continued her steps back into her room. She really needs air from somewhere else, continuing to be in the big Floyen mansion makes her chest feel so tight.

Areez suddenly knocked on the door of his room which Suri deliberately didn’t close perfectly.

Suri who was in a prone position immediately raised her face, looking at Areez who was still standing in front of the door.

“What else?” asked Suri hoarse. “You’re not being angry with me because of what I said earlier, are you? If you want to be angry please just forget what I said earlier, pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“May I come in?” Instead of responding to Suri’s words, Areez turned their conversation around.

Suri nodded slowly. “Come in, After all, usually you also enter without asking permission first, right?”

Areez’s face turned red with embarrassment, Suri reminded him of the mistakes he had made so far. With slightly dragged steps Areez entered the pink room that he made for Suri.

“If you want to go where do you want to go?” Areez asked suddenly.

“Eh?”

Areez smiled. “Today I don’t have anything to do, so I can accompany you to go where you want to go.

” don’t go to the office?” asked Suri, selling expensively.

“I finished my office business last night, so today I don’t have to come to the office. That’s why I want to accompany you to go.”

Suri bowed her head with her mouth locked.

” You are free to choose the place, Mira. Don’t worry Aldrich and I will today...”

“How can I choose a place to go? Whereas all this time I didn’t know there were interesting places in this city, haven’t I only been allowed to go out if I go to the Academy, huh?”

Suri’s words suddenly made Areez unable to speak, everything Suri said was a scathing satire for him. For the past three years he has not allowed Suri to leave the mansion except to go to the Academy, and even then Suri has also been heavily escorted by his subordinates. Even the car used by Suri to go to the Academy has been coated with a special coating that will not allow her to see the situation outside the car, Suri really hasn’t been given any access by Areez to see the city of Auckland where she has been for the past three years.

“Sorry,” Areez said quietly. “Forgive all my mistakes, Mira. I’m too selfish to keep locking you in the house, I’m just too scared if you escape my control, Mira. That’s why I never allowed you to leave the mansion.”

Suri’s lips thinned at Areez’s words, her plan has worked so far. One by one the plans she made late at night finally succeeded, Areez now looks so guilty.

“Don’t talk about it again, Areez. After all that has passed.”

Areez who looked down immediately raised his face to look at Suri who was also already looking at her with a sad look.

“Mira...”

“I’ve forgotten everything and don’t want to remember it again,” Suri said again motivating Areez’s words

“Forget everything, Mira?”

Suri nodded. “Yeah, I just don’t want to get stuck in bad memories. That’s why I want to forget everything and besides that I also think that you are doing all of that for my good too, right?”

Areez’s lips went numb, all the words stuck in his throat. Suri’s words really made him speechless, Suri who used to say spicy words now made him speechless.

When Areez and Suri were both not talking, Aldrich, who couldn’t wait to leave, suddenly entered Suri’s room. “So how about we go or not? I’ve got a car ready for us to go to the Auckland Art Gallery.”

“Auckland Art Gallery.” Suri repeated Aldrich’s words quickly.

“Yes, it’s a very nice place, Mira. You can find a variety of interesting works of the Maori tribe which is very impressive, this place is always full, Mira. I’m sure you’ll like it, as a person who likes to read, going to the art gallery is a good choice, isn’t it,” Aldrich said at length excitedly.

“How do you know if I like reading?” Suri asked quietly, pretending not to know.

Aldrich, who did not know Areez’s anxiety, immediately put his arm around Areez’s shoulder. “Who else if not Areez, he always asks me to accompany him to find your favorite magazines and novels in the bookstore. So I can tell that you are a person who likes to read.”

Suri pursed her lips, her attention now turned back to Areez who was still locking her lips. “You want to take me to that fun place, Areez?

“If you don’t want to go, maybe I can look for a mall or other place that...”

“No-no, I want to go to that art gallery, I want Areez,” said Suri quickly interrupting Areez’s words with a look of hope.

Like a cat who is asking to be invited to play makes Areez’s heart go wild, with a small nod Areez responds to Suri’s words. And Suri who is very happy immediately screams with joy.

One step to freedom, one step to freedom. Suri kept repeating the sentence in her heart.

“Yeah, I’ll be ready then, you guys wait for me downstairs, okay,” said Suri again.
