For the next two days Chan avoided Jina at all costs. He wanted to see a flustered Jina and was enjoying seeing her searching for him everywhere. But on the third day, to his surprise Jina showed no interest in looking for Chan and this made him upset. This also made Chan to decide to meet Jina that day itself. So he fixed an appointment with her late in that evening, in the Lilac mansion itself, for avoiding any doubts. He had it all planned, but that’s when something unexpected happened. As Chan was getting ready to leave the office, he saw Anna running around with some files in a rush. It was already time for her to leave, but she doesn’t seem to care about that at all. There wasn’t anything urgent pending, so what made her busy, unknowing to Chan, made him suspicious. Chan brought a cup of coffee for Anna and enquired, “You don’t seem to be leaving any time soon. What came up all of a sudden?” Anna took the coffee from him and said, “Oh, I was craving for some sugar. You are the
Inside the room, Jina was standing with a whiskey bottle ready to be broken on to Leo’s head. Leo, who was standing next to Jina, was smiling sheepishly seeing Jina’s tantrums. He was asking her to come to him obediently with his right hand and walking towards her slowly. Both Leo and Jina were shocked by Chan’s arrival. Chan rushed in and took the bottle from Jina’s hand by force and stood in front of her. He said to Jina, “You are not strong enough for this. So stay back. Don’t do anything rash.” “What the hell are you doing here? By any chance, are you playing the knight to save the damsel in distress?” Leo mocked Chan and stood there with his hands on hip as Leo was losing patience with both Jina and Chan. “If I have to, I will. But I never expected you to use an idiom correctly with that brain of yours. I am surprised.” Chan retorted. “You…What do you think of yourself? Master of this house? Or are you having an affair with her? Is that why you are so riled up now?” Leo was bo
“Aren’t you going to say that I attacked Jina, next? When in truth it was her, who seduced me! She might have acted all righteous before, but today it was her who made the first move on me. I am a man, and it’s natural that I get attracted to such a woman. You barged into the room and kicked me, without even enquiring what the situation was. Isn’t it because you couldn’t see your woman getting close to another man?” Leo narrated an entirely different story just like Anaya did. Shen Shaw looked at Jina and Chan with disgust and Jina sat there with her head low. Nanny Shu tried to make Jina talk, but she kept silent. Unexpectedly, Chan rushed at Leo Sun and punched him in the face. Leo Sun didn’t expect Chan to be so fast and fell down in the impact. Chan kicked him once, in his stomach and before he could kick another, Jina shouted at Chan to stop it. Chan turned to look at Jina but before he could say anything she begged, “Don’t. Don’t hurt him. Everything is my fault, okay? Leave
Jina was sitting crying in her room and nanny Shu was trying to comfort her. Nanny Shu poured her some water and urged her to drink but Jina denied it. Jina then stood up and started walking as if she had lost her mind. Nanny Shu didn’t understand what was going on or how to resolve the matter. She kept watching Jina who was walking around like a lunatic. After an hour or so Jina stopped and started packing all of a sudden. Nanny Shu really doubted if Jina had lost her mind. She asked, “What are you doing Jina? Should we go see Chan? Can you tell me what happened exactly? Then maybe I can make a call and tell him everything. Will you please listen to me? Jina..?” Jina continued packing and said, “We need to go from here, nanny Shu, as quickly as possible. Pack your things and let’s wait till night. We will leave when everyone is sleeping.” “Jina, I understand that we have to leave. But, should we do it now itself? Don’t we need a place to stay, if we leave now? Relax and think for
Jina and nanny Shu had to spend most of their savings to pay the deposit and a month’s rent for a small apartment. It wasn’t enough for them two, but still they were glad to have a place to sleep at least. Jina started looking for a job from the next day. For a good looking and smart girl like Jina, it wasn’t that hard to find part time jobs. Along with that she sent her resume to various pharmacological companies as she was specialized in that field.There wasn’t much response from the company recruitments, but Jina got a job as a storekeeper for a grocery store, which was enough to buy food for the two. She also prohibited nanny Shu from working outside, as it hurt her pride and made her guilty.Two weeks went by and everything was suspiciously calm. There was no information about Chan or where he went to. No one contacted him, nor did he contact anyone. There was no movement from Leo’s side too, as Jina had afraid. But it was the silence before the storm. Something big was approach
Jina kept her pose of holding Chan by his collar waiting for his reply. She felt as if she could even kill someone at this moment. That much anger and hatred filled in her.On the other hand, Chan was standing there like a rock without any difference. He was so calm that it irritated Jina more. Chan looked into Jina’s eyes and felt her anguish and worry.Chan took Jina’s hand and removed it from his collar. He kept on it making Jina unable to move. Jina tried resisting, but she was held in place by his strong hands. He then pulled Jina towards him, making her bump into his chest and held her close. Jina struggled again, but was totally captured by Chan who held her from her back with his one hand and lifted her chin with the other.Now, both their faces where in close proximity and Jina could feel Chan’s breathe. She pushed Chan with all her might and Chan let go of her, making her stumble backwards.“Why? You don’t like this close? Weren’t we having an affair? Are you now trying to t
Nanny Shu returned after another hour and the scene welcomed her was of Jina lying in the hall over a file and some photographs. Nanny Shu’s heart skipped a beat on seeing that and she hurriedly went to check on her. Only when she realized that Jina was just sleeping, her breathing came back to normal.“Jina…wake up Jina. Why are you sleeping here, my girl?” Nanny Shu patted Jina slowly and waked her up.When Jina recognized nanny Shu’s voice, she stood up and hugged nanny Shu with all her strength. She then examined nanny Shu all over and hugged her again saying, “You are all right! Thank God you are alright. You aren’t hurt anywhere, are you nanny Shu?”Nanny Shu was stunned to hear that question. “Why would I be hurt? I just went for a walk outside. What are you imagining girl?” Nanny Shu said a lie, as she had gone to look for jobs in reality.“So you never met Chan? Or Leo? You never saw any of them or their men?” Jina asked to reaffirm everything.“No, I didn’t see anyone of the
Though it was early morning by now, there was not enough light in the road. Jina was walking with her luggage aiming for the train station all alone. It was then she noticed a black car following her. It was a black car that followed her before too. She thought about running for her life at first. Then she decided not to. Instead, she stopped for a moment and walked back to the car, which had also stopped moving when Jina stopped walking. This has to end now itself. She don't want to run away again afraid.Thinking like that Jina went to knock on the driver's wind shield, with all her courage. But it was the back seat door that got opened and Chan got down from the car. Jina was startled to see him now."So it was you, who was following me around? Why am I not surprised?" Jina asked suppressing her scare.Chan yawned and tilted his head sideways to do some stretching. Then he replied, " I already told you this, that I never had anything to do with you before yesterday night. But I wil
