A week has passes and yet Luth hasn’t shown any significant signs of awakening. Though his vital signs were normal, his slash and stab wounds were slowly healing however, he’s still to be in deep coma. Tia stay by Luth’s side at the hospital almost everyday and night, looking after his basic needs of cleaning and helping the nurses change and dresses up his wound. While alone, she will recite some prayers and will constantly speaks to him about how the day has passes by..and throughout those days, tears of sadness. anguish and anger just wouldn’t want to cease, breaking Tia emotionally.
Zander without fail will always be by her side, making sure she takes her meals and have some bit of rest. However all through those days, Tia has been pushing Zander’s words and touches, avoiding his presence as possibly as she could. Her words are cold with a menacing tone of accumulating fury and hatred much to Zander’s dismay. Despite of those affliction which Tia presented him with, Zander still faithfully stay by her side.
“I bet you still haven’t got the effort of breaking Reza’s turf?” Mark Tia icily.
Zander remained silence for he knew, whatever reasons he speaks none of them will actually appease her raging soul. Even though Zander and his member had eventually managed to eliminate most of Reza’s on going darkened activities of slavery and human trafficking, freeing them from his iron fist threats and calamity, bringing back bliss to their innocence and pride. Tia still doesn’t feel appeased. She felt more resentful towards Zander, for why he could easily freed those lives but not her brothers.
Her doubt begins to rein deep in her thoughts about Zander’s ultimate attention, could Zander had actually wanted to destroy her family? “He pushed Iris off the building?” Rang those definitions of Drake, recalling back in her mind over and over again.
Dawn had almost touches in however sleep wasn’t coming to address Tia. The restlessness she felt seems to be daunting her strength day by day. As she tossed and turned in between her blanket on her bunker bed, suddenly she felt another presence approaching her. From the alignment of that shadowy figure, she knew it’s Zander.
“Aren’t you sleeping?” Asked Zander worriedly.
“Need you to ask?” Snapped Tia.
“When will you be ready to go back to college?” Asked Zander again.
“It’s none of your concern..” snarled Tia harshly.
“You are my responsibility, therefore you are my concern…” noun Zander.
“Hmmpp, and it seems you have done well Zander..” mock Tia as she jumps out from the bed, and decides to head to the washroom, but her arm was tightly caught instead by Zander, pulling her close up to his front. With his eyes looking intensely upon her teary eyes.
“I never wanted this to happen Tia.. I tried ..I swear I tried…” utters Zander as his breath fanning over her forehead. “That kid, your brother’s intend to babysit is Reza’s son.. Iris fall because of him, despite me been warning him not to believe his melancholy scripts of been suffering under his father’s abusive traits upon him and his so called mother..”
“You knew who’s Uzair, exactly are and yet you never warned us about him until it was already too late? Luth is like a living dead damn it..” cried Tia angrily as she pushes Zander away from her.
“We weren’t aware that Uzair is actually Cade, Reza’s son.. he had been fabricating his name right from the the moment he uses and manipulate Iris..”explained Zander.
“Tell me what exactly happened to Iris..?” Demands Tia.
Zander stayed mum..from the look on his face, Tia knew, Zander’s not ready to tell it all.
“Damn you Zander..” hissed Tia as she storm out from her room and left.
Zander remain rooted inside the room with both his fist clenching tightly by his side. “Please forgive me Tia.. I can’t tell you just yet, because I’m afraid you might not be able to accept the truth..”
“Why are you killing your self like this man..?” rant Max as he crept inside the room, after he saw Tia left in such a huffed.. “For how long you need to masquerade the truth..at times I feel Iris death, he deserve it, due to his uncalled ruthlessness.. he raped Reza’s only daughter and then merciless killed her.. and his reason, blood for blood but finally at what price..?” Utters Max sadly.
“No, the truth will break her.. I can’t let her know that...” state Zander faintly.
“Iris is foolish just like his father, knowingly Reza’s pride is his family. No matter how much Noah and our men, had torn away his turf, he still can take that blow. But tragically, Iris has touched his family and crosses that boundaries, has indeed pawn himself and his own household ticket to death..” said Max, maintaining his sentiment. “And you, you’ve already done too much…just let her go will you..?”
“I can’t.. she’s too vulnerable.. I’m afraid, she might do something irrationally..” noun Zander.
“Your attachment with her…will harm you..” warned Max.
“It’s just not an attachment.. it’s more than that..” mutters Zander.
“You love her?” Asked Max in an ultimate shocking tone.
“I don’t know.. all I know and believe is that I need to be with her to care for her and to protect her..an oath which I’ve promised Iris..” mutters Zander. “Whatever wrong Iris had done, it’s truly not both Tia’s and Luth’s fault..Iris death was indeed due to my mistake.. I forsake his calling for my aid, due to my anger.. until it was already too late..”
“No Zander, me and the rest of us believe none of this happening is your fault…” said Max. “You’ve been so much compassionate and merciful leader to us, unlike Iris..he’s totally the opposite. I’ve known your father and Arion way back longer before you were born…” state Max and then he continues.. “When Noah had decided to place Iris instead of you to lead us, I knew it’s going to be a disastrous decision..”
“Max, I’m sure you know why my father had chosen Iris..” trail Zander solemnly.
Upon those sentiments, Max lightly place his hand upon Zander’s shoulder and then he slowly ambles away from Zander’s form.
