“ You weren’t there at the cafeteria during our break time, where did you go?” Asked Ian while he smoothly drives his car with his eyes intensely focusing upon the road. From Tia’s point of view, it seems Ian was certainly looking unpleased.
“I went to the bookshop to photocopy some notes.” replied Tia brimly.
“With who?” Asked Ian again with a tinge of madness in his voice.
“Myself..” said Tia as she turned her view away from Ian sudden intense gaze that falls upon her.
“Do you need to lie?” Noun Ian with total annoyance mark in his tone. “I saw you with someone making out around the corner of the bookshop..”
“My God Ian, are you stalking me?” Rant Tia madly.“Who is he? I’ve never seen that face from our college though?” Mark Ian.
“He’s a friend.” Replied Tia solemnly. “Something terrible had almost happened to me while I was at Caelum Street. Thank God he came just in time and safe me..”
Upon hearing this words, Ian drove his car towards the side of the lane and stopped his vehicle in a haste.
“And what exactly happened while you were out there snooping around Caelum Street?” Asked Ian.
Tia knew either way, Ian will keep on pushing her for answer with specific details. Therefore shutting herself mimed will definitively make things worst between them.
“I was attacked and almost raped by some thugs ..” utters Tia grimly as tears begins to well in her eyes. “Thankfully he came just in time..”
“Tia..” utters Ian with a sigh. “Does Luth knew about this?”
Tia shakes her head as she’s trying to fight her tears from breaking into a sob. Ian remain dumbfounded. However in the midst of this emotional turmoil, Ian took hold of Tia’s hand and held on firmly on to it.
“But still I don’t like the look of him and I don’t trust him..” state Ian and with his other hand, he lightly pulled Tia’s face to cast him. “It could be a set up which he had cunningly planned and scripted to lure you into his lair. He might not be showing his true agenda at this point of time, but who knows, probably later on..”
Tia remained silence for a while and then she said “Your point Ian, it’s hard to believe, because he knew Iris..and Iris trusted him. Before Iris was cruelly taken, Iris had made him promise that, he will be protecting me and Luth. So what could possibly harm he will presented us with?”
“Oh! Tia, how could you be easily taken in by his words?” Rant Ian.
“Because I can feel and sense that he’s genuine and sincere.. and I believe Iris is indeed close with him..” explained Tia. “I need to get closed to him so I could find those answers..”
“How about me? Haven’t you spare any thoughts and consideration about us? Our relationship..” asked Ian as he held on to Tia’s cheeks firmly in between in his fingers.
“Ian, come on.. you’re my best friend..of course I do..” utters Tia as she begins to feel uneasy seeing Ian staring hard upon her.
Suddenly, Ian roughly tugged his hand upon the bottom of Tia’s hip and pulled the car seat downwards.
“Ian what are you doing?” Cried Tia with fear. “Ian let go of me.. why are you doing this?”
Ian ignores her pleas as he begins to savagely had his lips and tongue roughly gliding upon Tia’s delicate neck and shoulder.
“Ian please stop ..” plead Tia ad she struggle in between his brutal and lustful embrace.
Ian begins to tugged open the button of her cardigan and had his hand firmly kneading and groping Tia’s bosom much to her shame and disgust. Tia couldn’t believe Ian is trying to force himself on her.
“Ian ! Please!!!” Cried Tia tearfully. However the more she tried to fight him off, the brazen and coarse he becomes.
Out of a sudden, something or someone had crushed the side window of his car. The several blows was tremendous until, it shatters the window to millions fragments. In just that splitting moment, the car door was forcefully opened and Ian was roughly pulled out from the car and thrown hard across the side of the road.
“Zander..” mutters Tia tearfully.
Zander looks upon her with worrisome marks engraved in his eyes. And with the bat which he had carried in his hand, he charge forward towards Ian and begins to bash him upon his back, leg and torso.
Frantically Tia, rushed out half trembling towards Zander and usher him to stop. “ Zander don’t..”
“Let me warn you .. if you ever try to hurt Tia again..do say your last prayer when you see me..” warned Zander sharply as he held Tia’s shivering form close by his side.
“You are making a mistake Tia.. He’s a mistake..” utters Ian as he struggled and quickly walk back to his car and drove off.
Zander regain back his composure as his gaze falls upon Tia’s sobbing plight. Zander gently pulls Tia close to him and held on to her trembling body.
“Let me take you home..” utters Zander as he walks Tia to his motorbike.
Tia look stun and seems unsure if she could ever ride that thing.
Zander smile faintly and hand her another helmet which he had place inside one of the compartment of his bike. “Come on.. trust me! You will love this baby..” noun Zander as he pat his bike. Tia chuckles lightly in neither sob.
“So you are indeed my knight in shining armour.. coming in to the rescue just in a nick of time..” said Tia as she place her hands and lightly caress his face.
“Tia, you just need to be extra careful..cause at times like I said earlier…” noun Zander.
“I’ve got no time saving damsel in distress.. oh yes I remember that..” continues Tia with a grin.
“Good, so keep those words in mind..” marks Zander. “Come, hopped on..I’m taking you home..”
“Zander, thank you again ..” said Tia as she felt genuinely grateful towards Zander’s aid. Upon that moment, she quickly give a light peck upon his cheeks. Zander held on to her hands and bring them to his lips and gently kisses them.
“No worries about it.. you take care alright..” utters Zander.
“I will like to know more about you.. it’s kind of funny and strange our acquaintance seems to be well under unpredictable circumstances..” mark Tia. “How about we go for a coffee date somewhere?”
Zander remained statued with that nerve wreaking notion embarking in his soul.
“Please..” pleads Tia as she held on to Zander hand.
“Okay, I will .. you will receive a call from me soon..” marks Zander as he smile meekly.
“Okay.. I shall wait..” said Tia as she blushes with excitement.
“Tia, is this your first date? You are blushing like a bride to be..” tease Zander as he chuckles.
Tia lightly nodded her head which is definitely the true.
“So that bastard that had try to hurt you just now is not your boyfriend?” Asked Zander curiously.
“He’s my best friend .. but I guess he was a friend now..” replied Tia. “Anyway Zander, about us.. we go slow alright..”
“Of course my lady.. whatever you say ..” and with those words Zander smile and head back to his motorbike. Tia stay put until, Zander had ride away from her sight.
“Please forgive me Zander.. I need closure upon my brother’s death..that’s why I need to know you better and to do that, by getting closer to you..” thought Tia with engulfing guilt burn inside her soul.
