C320: Came to Halt

Ole glanced at the gate but Cherith was still outside. She fidget and pace around her room.

She stared at her phone and saw it's nearing midnight. She dialed Cherith's number but he is not picking up.

Her phone vibrated and recieved a message from Cherith.

"What's wrong?" her screen displayed.

"I am just worried that your not yet home." Ole typed back.

"Ah, I am by the park getting some fresh air. I already had dinner. Thanks for the burger, I will eat it later." Cherith answered back.

Ole paused and thought of running out to meet him but his next message halted her.

"Don't plan on coming, I am with someone. You will spoil the mood." Cherith intended to tease Ole but it came out a little too strong for her. Ole pulled her blanket and tried to sleep.

Cherith waited for her response but his inbox did not take in any response. Cherith looked up to see wifey approaching with the street food she bought.

"So here it is." Wifey smiled.

"Thanks, How come you easily adopt in this era?" Cherith inquired before bitting his food.

"Well, I can't be picky. No options were available anyway." Wifey responded.

Cherith nooded and swallowed his chewed intake.

"Are you sure playing innocent will cloth who you really are? Stop dragging me whole day and tell me why you called me." Cherith indicated.

Wifey snorted and answered.

"Hmnn, figures.. you guys suspect me strongly. I called you just to have fun today no schemes behind."

Cherith gobbled up all his food and stood up.

"Is that so? Then I am off. You kinda rob me off my time today."

Wifey waved her hand notified.

"Kish will die soon,"

Cherith halted in track and glanced back at her.

"What do you mean?"

Wife my stood up and replied.

"That's all I want to say. Even if you try to stop it, No one will be able to."

Cherith grabbed her arm with palm and said.

"Tell me how, and who?"

Wifey smiled as she smirked.

"Then their is a price."

Cherith shot a glare and gnashed his teeth.

"If you interfere with Kish's pending death, Ole will receive a greater damage. Be smart brain bird." Wifey mocked and vanished.

Agsus hide by the bench and took a picture of Cherith and Wifey. He planned to grill him at home. Agsus rush first to carry on his plan.

Cherith closed the door and rummage through the refrigerator for his burger. He damp the food inside the oven as the bews echoed in his head. He was surprised when Agsus, Ain and Fur sat on the sala with him.

Agsus threw him his phone and gestured him to press on the touch screen. It showed a photo of himself and Wifey looking at each other.

"Why are you in contact with her?" Ain asked.

"You said it was a date." Fur taunted.

"And I did not know you prefer older women." Agsus teased.

Cherith just shrugged and eat the burger Ole bought.

"Just because." he said in between his chewing.

"I thought you love Ole." Agsus voiced out which made Cherith almost choked.

"Stop saying nonsense." Cherith replied.

"Then are you in serious relationship with Wifey?" Fur raised.

Cherith shrugged and walked his way toward his room with Urchin.

The morning got nuzzling with the guys interrogating Cherith about his date.

"Will you please back down in my personal life." Cherith replied hoping that it would halt them.

"That's no fun, Tell us!" Nimrod insisted.

"Did you held hands? Where did you go?" Sycamore added.

Cherith got bashful about the questions that made Urchin and Kahieli join the roasting.

"Wow, Now your blushing. Did you go beyond holding hands?" Urchin giggled.

"NO!" Cherith yelled.

His word had Saga, Selah and Ole startled upon entering the room.

"What's with the morning noise?" Saga asked as he rubbed his ears.

"Cherith got caught by Agsus on a date." Kahieli replied.

"We have proof of picture here." Ain stated.

The three examined the photo and gasped.

"Wifey and you had that relationship?" Selah asked in surprise.

Cherith just growled as he give in and announced to end his annoying morning.

"I am going out, I will be meeting her today. You can have my plate, Urchin."

Cherith walked out of the room that made the gang wide eyed.

"Their relationship must be that serious?" Agsus uttered.

Cherith sighed and aimlessly ride the train. He just blurted that out of nowhere to end the teasing. He stared at the window to recall the news about Kish. He took off the last station where the train halted. He visited the beach for relaxation. Wifey appeared right on his side.

"You really are hopeless. You can just deny it, Why did you have to announce that your going to meet me?"

Cherith blinked and yanked her wrist.

"You need to tell me who is after Kish?"

Wifey pressed her lips together and said.

"Okay but you are not allowed to hurt that person."

Cherith furrowed his brows and agreed.

"It will be someone stranger." Wifey informed.

Their conversation got interrupted when Dande appeared. Cherith wanted to hide but was too late.

Saga observed how Ole would react when Dande started spreading the rumours about Cherith and Wifey on the beach. He can tell that Ole is normal but something was off. Ole kept teasing Cherith but he noticed how she would put on a distance. Their loud gigling was paused when Fur run and pronounced the bad news.

"Kish started vomiting. We need to take him to the hospital."

"He got some indigestion. He is eating too much despite his old age." The doctor stated.

"The surgey went well, He needs to stay here for three more day. We would like to request your patience to watch over him. Two person are allowed to stay with him every night." He added as his bald head walked out of the room with his lab gown.
