(( Rhio POV’s )))  My lips lowered down to meet hers. She had that habit of expressing surprise through wide eyes and that moment she was undeniably readable. The silence was romantic and I anticipated her to give back the kiss or least hold herself from resisting. I leaned in more to deepen the kiss, only to be met with a slap that surprisingly hurt.  I just smiled in response.

(SYA)  She’s crying when I entered the room, naked except for a blanket wrapped tightly around her.  

(SYA)  I and the other maids stayed in line below the stairs. There were yelling from upstairs but we couldn’t meddle in or dare to walk away unless we were told. Rhio expected our presence at the moment. 

(JASMIN)  “There’s nothing we could do. Whatever Rhio says, is done. But we’re always here for you,” the old woman smiled at me, “You know, you’re the first woman Rhio has ever brought here. Whatever his reasons are…I think he’s doing this because he doesn’t want to lose you.”&

(RHIO)  Time skipped. The flight, the program, the general assembly afterwards… All went by without notice. And I’ve been waiting exactly to call her again.
