OLD MAN

May was making a plan in her head but couldn't find any to leave that house. She wanted to return to her brother Xavier and she didn't even know where her phone was. On her way, she bumped into someone. 

"Sorry" The feminine voice apologised. May looked at the person and shook her head "It's ok"

"But you are?" May asked, maybe if she befriended this woman, she could look for a way to leave this place.

"Oh my bad, I am Gloria, Alex's younger sister" Gloria beamed as she introduced herself. May nodded unconsciously "I am May"

"Wow you have a sweet name...you must like my brother right?" 

May frowned "Him? That grumpy man...I can't stand him let alone marry him and he is too old for me. What does he think he is? He yelled at me just because I was in that damn room, not like I wanted to be there. Let me tell you, I don't like that man and I will never will. I am just a stranger taken against my will. That Old Man wouldn't let me go...I want to return and believe me I will look for a way" After taking out all her frustrations, she didn't give the other woman a moment to talk before she left.

"..."

Gloria was startled by her sudden approach. Did she hate her brother that much?

......................................................................

"Your case is better, going to that auction and marrying a stranger...what is an obvious option?" Alex spoke to the person in the other line. 

"You are a grown-up man, you should regain your sight back and then think of marriage," The other man said. Alex nodded in agreement "Right? This Old Man wouldn't let me rest in peace"

"Well, the auction is about to start...I will see you later" The man hung up leaving Alex unfulfilled with his questions. He took his cane from the bed and helped himself stand up, that was when a knock came from the door.

"Who's it?"

No reply.

"Just come in...you must be the maid to make my bathwater" He cried coldly. The door to his room opened and a woman entered. Her eyes were hostile as she glared at the man before proceeding toward his bathroom.

May was feeling irritated and annoyed. She didn't like it here...she just wanted to return home. How could she, a pampered girl work as a maid for this grumpy blind man? Even when he was like this, he was still showing attitude.

Reluctantly, she went to the bathroom to prepare his bath. After she was done, she was suddenly pushed inside the bathtub.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh"

As she turned, she saw a pair of grey-blue eyes looking at her strangely. She blinked her eyes in shock "You!!! what are you doing?"

"Didn't I warn you?" was the man's aloof words "You brought this upon yourself...you wanted to seduce me right and now you succeeded, so why don't we two go wild? So pleasurable"

May felt like the hairs on her back stood high "What are you saying? Let me go" She yelled.

Though he couldn't see, he still sensed the fear in her tone. He warned her but did she listen?. Right now he was going to teach her a lesson.

"Why are you coming close? Let me go" May was frightened out of her wits. She saw the man moving in close to her, she shivered in fear.

"What are you trying to do?" 

"What do couples do? Isn't that what you want? To make me fuck you uh" May couldn't believe his words. When did she beg for that? 

"I...i...am sorry, I won't approach you anymore but please let me off" Her voice cracked. Alex smirked when he finally heard what he wanted to hear. He withdrew back from her but when that happened, he slipped and ended up kissing the woman on her neck. May flinched from that touch, she was crying. She had thought the man wanted to sleep with her.

"Get away" She pushed him off and ran out of the bathroom.

'That blind pervert'

Alex was also startled when he felt his lips on her neck. It was a mistake. Did she misunderstand? Well, that didn't matter, as long as she left his house.

.......................................................................................

*Knock Knock*

"I cannot be his maid...he is a pervert...he tried to sleep with me. What type of grandson do you have? I don't want to be with him and that is final. In fact, I am leaving here right now" May complained as soon as she entered the study room. She took to her heels out of the room after her complaint.

'Why is my new life going like this? Why did you have to bring me back here if you know I will be suffering this much? Brother Xavier is angry with me...what should I do to get his love? How can I leave this stupid house and that blind pervert? I was almost raped'

She entered the room given to her and locked it.

'I miss you, brother Xavier'

.....................................................................................

On top of the roof, a man is looking up at the sky. His mind was in turmoil. His body was giving away day by day and his pain was increasing. But he missed her, he missed her chatters, her voice, her presence. He really wanted her back. To be selfish, he didn't care anymore. He wants to at least feel her love and show her his love before he finally left. He didn't want to waste time.

All he wants was to just see her for one last time. Is she ok? Did she find a home to stay in? He knew she didn't return back to the mansion and that worried him.

'May, where are you? I miss you'

....................................................................................................

Holding a photograph, Alex caressed the face. He wished that girl was easy to find. Ten years was really a long time. He needed answers to his questions.

"Why did she leave? Why she didn't fulfil her promise? Why couldn't he find her?"

Maybe she was close to him but because he was blind, he couldn't recognise her as Krist told him.

Little Pumpkin, where are you? I can't wait to find you. He shivered as he kissed to photo.
