Chapter Fifteen:
She was walking at my front, slowly walking yet I couldn't reach her even though I walk fast as her still I couldn't reach her. I try to call but my voice silence the sound around us, there are no sound but I keep screaming calling out her attention. I know and I feel, I used all my strength just to call out on her but still silence come front. Until my footsteps gets heavy and slowly, I began to freeze as if trying to stop me to go further. Stop me to catch on her until my sight block by another shining light that hard to see.
Past…
"Lady Siara!"
I clearly heard someone was calling out my name yet I don't want to wake since that I wanted to know who the person was walking in front of me. But to no avail, I can't reach her and a shining light covered my eyes making me awake and see Wei's worry face.
"W-wei…"
"Oh, Lady Siara! You're having a nightmare."
A nightmare? Is that really a nightmare? I don't know but it seems not yet I couldn't explain what it is. Maybe Wei was right. Anyway, now I am awake I think I shall just forget about it.
"I'm sorry, if I scare you."
"No, my Lady. I'm just glad that I quickly heard your moan and see you having trouble of waking up."
I smiled. "Thank you." Though why do I feel that I need to know who that person was. Even so, I will know it soon.
Present…
I wake up from that dream again and yet I still don't know who that person was. Though I knew that person was a woman and even though I try to call, my voice sounds in silence. Even if I wanted to just give up and let her go, I couldn't. For as there is something connecting the two of us that I cannot explain, I just couldn't let her go!
"Love?" it was Haimon. "Having another nightmare?" he worriedly asked and I don't know why I suddenly felt déjà vu because there is something so familiar about what he just told me. "Shuki?"
"Oh!" I quickly snap out of it. "So-sorry! It just that…" I couldn't find a word to say.
"No worries." He said as he sits down beside me and hugs me. "Everything will be fine. That nightmare will soon be vanished."
"Uhm," I answered and nodded. Though deep down on me, I badly wanted to see and meet the woman in my dream as if we both had the same feelings about it.
ADS Flower Shop
Present…
"Mr. Reinhardt." I called out after I went out of our office.
"Oh, that's too formal," he said with a smile. "You can just call me Kanik."
"No I can't." I refused since that we aren't even friends. "Anyway, what can I do for you?"
"Uhm, I still thinking of what I shall order." He answered as he goes around the shop.
"Then, if you need any help, I can help you."
"That's a good idea." He turned around facing me. "Then, can you help me of something else?" he suddenly asked me out of the blue and it seems this time he doesn't mean about the flowers, he means something else.
Meanwhile…
Not too far from the shop we silently watch Kanik and Shu Tokino talking and because we were too far, we couldn't hear their conversation.
Then after a while, we've noticed that Kanik was about to leave and that is when Redmond receives a call from Haimon.
Del Gazini Corporation
"Mond," I quickly called him after I talked to Norward. "You're still there?" I straightly asked since Redmond was already guarding my wife at the store.
"Yes, I'm still here."
"Did you still see Kanik?" I asked as I pack my things because I decided to end my work earlier today and go straight to my wife's shop.
It took a minute before I heard Redmond answered. "Yes, and I'm sorry I didn't sense him coming."
As I expected, Kanik used his ability. "Don't worry I'll be there in a minute."
"But he was about to leave now." He said that made me stop from coming out of my office.
"What?"
"Yes, he is leaving."
Then, what was his attention? What he was trying to do? "I'll go now." I answered instead and hang up.
ADS Flower Shop
From afar…
"What did he say?"
"He will come."
"He can no longer reach Kanik." Because Kanik is leaving the shop and it seems he knew our presence.
Del Gazini's Corporation
I was about to leave when I remember my personal assistant, Naya. She was still here and it will be awkward if I just left her without any notice. So, I hurriedly went outside only to meet Norward.
"Uncle?"
"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that I already sent Naya home earlier today." he said that explained why my personal assistant wasn't there.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Go! She needs you." He replied instead and I silently nodded before leaving the company.
As quickly as possible, I came at the shop and the man that I am expecting to see wasn't there anymore.
"Haimon." It was Dealla who called out and she's with Redmond.
"What did he do?"
"Nothing in particular." She answered. "But it seems it isn't the first time he came here."
"Yes, he didn't."
"He sent you flowers?"
"Right."
"Even though he doesn't know a thing… he still threatened you and he did it again."
"What do you mean 'he doesn't know a thing'?" what she said first was the one that took my attention.
Dealla sighs. "He also went to Sofian and he went there just to find some clues about Siara."
"Then, what does he need from Haimon?" it was Redmond asked.
"The truth." Dealla answered. "And he will do anything just to make you tell the truth about Siara."
