Chapter 7

'It has been a week since I started looking for a job, but I can't find a single decent job even on the other town.', Ziah thought while frowning. She's sitting on a bench in the same park near her apartment. She just came from a job interview, but she wasn't even able to finished it. The manager in the company was an old bald man who kept on looking at her in a manner that seems to be undressing her. She got irritated as she look at his eyes full of lust so she lost her temper and slapped him to bring back him to his senses. And ofcourse he threw a fit and ask her to leave at once.

"Hi miss." three men went to her and greeted her while grinning. 'Here it go again'. She heaved a sigh before she stood up and prepare to leave.

"Hey, wait!" one of the men walk in front of her and block her way.

"We just wanted to invite you for a drink and have some fun." She looked at the man in front of her with cold eyes

"And what makes you think that I'll go with you?" She glared at them and push aside the man in front of her.

"Oooh, feisty." The three men laugh evilly and followed her. Ziah stopped and walking and release a sigh harshly she then turned towards the men who are following behind her closely. She forced a sarcastic smile and decided to teach these men a lesson.

"You know what?, I'm actually looking for a way to unleashed my anger and frustrations."

"That is a perfect reason to drink, so are you coming with us?", the men looked at each other and grinned at her.

"Actually, I wanted to do something... more physical..." she walked in the nearest bench and placed her belongings on top of it. The men showed excitement on their faces and started walking towards her.

"I think we can help with that..." one of the men said while touching some strands of her hair and tucked it behind her ears. Ziah smiled at the man then suddenly grabs the hand that he use to touch her hair, flip it and use her elbow to give it a smash. She felt the bones of the man's arm cracking, then she kicked him in between his knees and pushed him away from her. The other men was shocked and were not able to move at once. When they saw their friend crouching on the ground they got pissed and charge at her. She gave the first man to attack a kicked in his stomach that made him took a few steps back and punch the next guy direct to his face. After the successful punch she gave him a side kick and kick the other guy straight on the face. She gave a few more blows to the two guys before they fall on the ground groaning out of pain. She then walked on the first guy who is still in pain because of his broken arm step on his chest forcefully. She brought out her knife from the inside pocket of her coat and put it in front of the throat of the guy.

"I am warning you, the next time I see your faces and harassing some girls, I will cut your dick and feed it to you, before I cut your throat." Her eyes full of anger and coldness.

"So never, ever show in front of me... Do you understand?" The man nodded his head with fear while holding his breath, fearing that one wrong move and his throat will surely be cut. She smiled evilly grabbed her belongings before leaving.

'Well, that's a good exercise', Ziah smiled to herself as she felt relief. Her anger and frustration subsided.

"Nally, I'm home, I am sorry I was late. Are you hungry?" Lello, said while changing into his slippers. He saw Nally sitting on the sofa while listening to some music.

"It's fine. I am not yet hungry. The little boy next door turned seven and they threw a birthday party. They were so kind and invited me to come. They even gave me some food to take home, so you don't really need to cook." Nally smiled as she talked to her brother.

"Is that so?. I'll thank them tomorrow then." Lello heaved a sighed of relief.

"But why were you late today?" Nally asked.

"An acquaintance fell on her feet and sprained her ankle pretty badly, so I had to helped her and broughtvher to the hospital. It took a while for them to put on a cast on her." he explained as he started to heat up the food on the table.

"Is she pretty?"

"Yes she is. She's famous at school so I think she is pretty."

"Is she your girlfriend?" Nally asked and smiled.

"No. Ofcourse not."

"Oh, I see." Lello somehow heard the disappointment in her voice.

"Why were you disappointed?"

"I just thought that she might be your girlfriend."

"And what makes you disappointed when I said that she's not?" Lello said while raising his eye brows.

"Ever since mom passed away, we lived with each other. And you took care of me. And because of that, you were not able to have friends. I just thought that if you have a girlfriend you will be happier." Nally gave him a small smile.

"What are you talking about? Listen, I don't have too many friends and a girlfriend because I want to. It is not because of you, so don't think it that way. And besides taking care of you makes me happy. Why would you think that I am not happy at all?" Lello walked towards Nalky and held her hands.

"Listen, you and I are family, and taking care of you is my responsibility, and I like doing that. And no matter what happen, I will not feel sad even if it means that I will be spending my life doing it. So stop worrying about me not having a girlfriend ok?" Lello smiled and kissed his sister on the forehead..

"I am sorry. I promise I won't say that again..." Nally smiled at him and hugged him happily.
