Professional Killer
Cherry refused the proposal
"Me-married?" asked Cherry in disbelief
"Yes, this is what I wanted to do all this time, but because my ambitions were too high that I ignored you, and never gave you any news, she said, and this time I don't want to lose you again, I still remember all my promises to you, Cherry" said Garrad, who holds Cherry's hand
"I don't think it's good, we're not kids anymore, Brother is now a famous doctor and I've been with Stephen too, we have to keep our distance" replied Cherry who removed her hand from Garrad's grip
"Cherry, do you love her?" ask Garred
"Yes"
"Why? he was extremely ruthless and his status was also a widower"
"I know all that, he's ruthless in the business world and that's natural, as long as he doesn't kill or do business that violates the law" Cherry replied
"Cherry, what makes you like it?" asked Garred in disappointment
"She was very considerate of me, I got affection from her after my Mama died"
"I can do all that for you, too. Cherry, you don't have to answer your decision right away, there's still time to think, consider it well, it's about your future, didn't you really like being close to me as a kid? I'm sure you haven't forgotten about our past" Garrad said
"Sister Garred, this is impossible, I admit that I used to like you, but for a few months Stephen was always by my side, when I cried she coaxed me and gave me affection, I felt comfortable being by her side" Cherry replied
"Cherry, it's okay if you reject me now, but let me start from the beginning to chase you, we start all over again, we've known you for a long time, while you and he have only known for a few months" Garrad said
"It's not a matter of knowing how long, but it's a matter of feeling. Brother, do you like me?"
"Yes, I like you from when you're only 13"
"Why do you like me?" ask Cherry curiously
"Because you're so beautiful and that really caught my attention" Garred replied with a smile
"Beauty is not forever, and many women are prettier than me, after you meet them then my beauty is nothing compared to them" Cherry replied
"I've seen a lot of beautiful women, but it's nothing to me"
"Sister, if I was old would you still like me? at that time my face was old, my skin had also started to wrinkle and not the pretty woman in your eyes anymore, were you still going to like me like me now?"
"I never thought of old age, for now I just want to be with you, and of course I want you to always be with me" Garred replied
"I've understood, I'm already sleepy, I want to sleep" said Cherry, who was lying down with her blanket covered
"Rest, I hope you think again what I said earlier, we still have time" Garred said
A moment later Garred stepped out of Cherry's room
"Sister Garred, your self has changed not the old one anymore, from your answer I already know if you do not like me and are just obsessed with me" Cherry murmured
Afternoon
Cherry who just woke up wanted to try getting out of her bed and walked slowly to the window
"I've been lying down for a few days, if I sleep on my body will be lazy" murmured Cherry who looked out the window
Clamps
"Cherry, why did you get out of bed?"Stephen asked who stepped in and went straight to Cherry
"Stephen, I'm just bored and want to take a look at the scenery here" Cherry replied, turning to Stephen
Stephen approached Cherry and took her to bed
"I just don't want to spoil my body, if sleep continues I'll be a slacker" Cherry replied with a smile
"Tomorrow I will accompany you out, I was there to buy food for you, eat first yes" said Stephen who took food for Cherry
"Yes" replied Cherry
After the meal Stephen accompanied Cherry by sitting on the edge of the bed and facing Cherry
"What about your wounds? does it still hurt?" ask Stephen
"Not anymore, it's already starting to improve"
"Good, but remember next time don't get out of bed again before your wounds heal completely"
"Yes I understand. Stephen, aren't you tired every day looking after me and you're not resting either"
"I'm not tired, if I don't take care of you I can't calm down" Stephen replied with a smile
"Stephen, do you like me?"
"Yes, why ask like that?"
"Why do you like me? you're a successful businessman and you should choose a decent woman with you"
"A decent woman?"
"Yes"
"What kind of woman?"
"He who can help your business, and can attend all the events with you, this way then you and he can only look more harmonious" explained Cherry
"I don't care about any of that, I just care about my eyes" Stephen replied with a smile
"Why do you like me?"
"Your loyalty caught my attention" Stephen replied with a friendly look
"My loyalty?"
"Yes, you are not tempted by the luxury offered by Ronald Chin before, and you also accept the challenge from Jhon to want to help me, do you know this is enough to make me like you, and the longer I don't want to let go of you" Stephen replied by kissing Cherry's lips
"Are you sure this isn't because you owe me that's why you chose to be with me?"ask Cherry who let go of her kiss
"Of course it's not, if I'm indebted I can use the money to pay you, but it's different.I want to get you and for good" Stephen replied by kissing Cherry's lips
"If I'm old and ugly, do you still like me?" ask Cherry who let go of her kiss
"If you're old, then I'll always hold your hand while enjoying the star moon at night, and do the things we love by living our daily lives" stephen replied with a friendly look
"Aren't you sorry for choosing me from this village?"
"No, I like you for who you are, I want to be with you until we're old" Stephen replied with a kiss
"This answer I want from you, I don't care what happens in the future I just want to be with you, and I hope you never get bored with me" inner Cherry
