You Are My Savior (English version)

CHAPTER 23 Non-Commital



Rhianna woke up because of the sunlight hitting her face. She used her arm to cover her face. She opened her eyes and roamed her eyes around the room. Why she’s in her room? She closed her eyes and forced herself to remember everything. She opened her eyes when she remembered it. Rhianna got drunk last night from the alcohol she drank. That’s all she remembers. Is Leo brought here? Probably. Because no one else will take her here but him.

When she suddenly remembered Leo. She couldn’t help but feel the pain again when she also remembers what had happened at Head Quarters. If he still loves Carmela why is he showing sweetness to her? Why is he kissing Rhianna?

Is it just because he wants to? She was raised sane but here she was, doing things that she shouldn’t be doing. She already looks stupid at what she’s doing. But now, she won’t let him hurt her anymore. So from now on, Rhianna will forget how she feels for Leo.

She sigh. Yes, it’s easy to say but it’s hard to do especially since they’re living in the same house.

She got up from the bed and sat on the side of it while her hand was placed on her forehead. Her head still hurts from the hangover. Her eyes went to the table on the side of the bed and she frowned when she saw a piece of paper.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Even though her head hurts, she forced herself to stand up and pick up the paper. Her heartbeat becomes fast as she read the contents of the paper.

*Your food is already on the table. Eat it to fill your stomach. I’ll buy stock of food in town. Wait for me.

Leo.*

She couldn’t help but smile. Sh*t! What is this! She shouldn’t be carried away by what he said in the letters. She doesn’t want to see him now. She’ll go to Head Quarters first to train herself. She got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she finished bathing, Rhianna immediately got dressed. She was wearing only a white polo shirt paired with a flat sandal.

She combed her hair. Then, she went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Fortunately, her headache disappeared a bit because she took a shower. When Rhianna entered the kitchen, she saw on the table the large food cover. Maybe, there is the food there that Leo prepared for her. She opened it and she saw a fried chicken, soup and rice. There’s another note stuck there. She picked it up and read.

*Eatwell. Eat a lot.

Leo

She was offended by what she read. He doesn’t even apologize to her. Rhianna was stunned at what she thought. Why would he apologize? They have no relationship. And one more thing, he liked what Carmela did. She felt the pain again and it was heavy on the chest. She needs to end this attraction toward Leo. She want to cry out in the pain that she was feeling. She sighed and sat down in the chair at the table and started eating. She forcefully dismiss in her mind what happened last night.

When she finished eating. She went to the bedroom to get a paper and she write there that she was going to Head Quarters for training. No matter how angry she was with Leo, he still has the right to know where she was.

When she finished, she put it on the table. She left the room and went outside the apartment and waited for a tricycle to take her to HQ. When Rhianna saw a tricycle approaching. She waves her hand to get the driver’s attention.

“Where you going, Miss?” the driver asked. Rhianna told the tricycle driver the address and he immediately drove it to the Head Quarters.

When they reached her destination. She got off the tricycle and gave the driver the fare. She went to the gate, she was about to pick up the pouch she was carrying with the key inside it when she saw the gate open. She had the spare key to the gate and the Head Quarters. She pushed in the gate and entered. The sun is already high so the heat of it hurts the skin.

She looked at her wristwatch. It’s already ten in the morning. She took a strange step when Harold, Alexandra, Faith, and Brandon came out of Head Quarters. They were shocked to see her. Maybe, they were wondering why Rhianna was alone and not with Leo.

“Rhi, why are you alone?” Harold asked her.

“Where’s Leo? Why aren’t you with him?” Alexandra asked also.

“Ahm. He’s in town buying stocks of food. I just want to go here alone and practice.” She answered them and started walking towards them. They nodded.

“Okay, we’ll miss you. We’ll be back here in the afternoon. We don’t have a lead yet to point out where Don Ysmael is. It’s really hard to find him, he’s good at hiding.” Harold said.

Rhianna nodded in agreement. It is difficult to find a lead to someone good at hiding. When can they catch him? She wants to kill or capture Don Ysmael as soon as possible.

“You will leave now, I’ll accompany Rhianna,” Brandon said.

“Okay. You’ll take care of Rhianna.” Harold said and they got in their cars and they exited the gate. Brandon approached her.

“Why are you here?” he asked her. It’s forbidden to come here by commuting tricycle. because maybe someone will notice that it’s HQ.

“I’ll train Brandon. Can borrow your gun.” she said.

Brandon was confused she said, he went inside to get a gun. Moments later, She saw Brandon walking toward where she was and carrying a gun. Brandon handed it to her and she took it carefully. He sat in the chair next to her.

“Why are you here?” She asked while looking at the gun she was holding.

“I just want to watch you training yourself. Don’t you want that I’m here?” he asked her. Rhianna doesn’t know but she feels like she’s not comfortable with Brandon watching her and just the two of them now. She’s more comfortable with Leo. Arrgh! Why does Rhianna think of him?

Leonardo’sPOV

Leo is traveling now on her way back to the apartment from town to buy food stocks for Rhianna and him. She can’t help but think of what happened last night. She may be awake now. What will Rhianna tell him? Will she get angry at him?

He cooked breakfast for Rhianna because it’s his way to ask forgiveness for what happened last night. He can’t say the word sorry to her because he was embarrassed about what happened. Yes, Rhianna responds to his kisses, but that’s not the basis that she wants him. Maybe the reason why she responds to his kisses is that she was just carried away by his kisses.

F*ck! Leo slapped her hands on the steering wheel of the car. She having a hard time. He wanted to tell Rhianna how he felt but he was afraid that Rhianna might just laugh at him and the worse, the feeling is not mutual.

When Leo reached the apartment, he immediately got out of the car and headed to the door. She turned the doorknob and push it. When Leo entered, he wondered why the house seemed so quiet. Isn’t she still asleep?

Leo went to her room and opened the door but Rhianna is not in her room. F*ck! Fxck! Where did Rhianna go? Leo averted his gaze at the table next to Rhianna’s bed. He saw a letter there. He approached it, picked it up, and read.

*I’m in Head Quarters now. I write this maybe, you should look for me. I don’t want to worry you.

-Rhianna.*

F*ck! What enter Rhianna’s mind and she went to HQ alone? Didn’t she know that it’s forbidden to go to the HQ by herself and commuting a tricycle? What if the opponent sees her? And, he’s not by her side. He felt nervous and immediately left the room. She left the house and went to the car and drove it toward HQ.
