On the one hand, Reba was grateful that she had understanding and humble parents, and that despite they’re sometimes overprotective nature, they still care about her happiness, which is entirely dependent on Emerson.
In the middle of the night, when everything falls into the hands of silence except the intermittent ttering of crickets, Reba was aroused when her clock chimed, so she sprang out of her bed and put on her ghost-like outfit. She didn’t make any noise while taking the stairs and seeded in sneaking out of the mansion.
“Where’s she going?” udio asked himself when she heard the door thud.
He knew it was his sister, because there’s no one else who would like to open the door in the middle of the night, but he was thinking differently about it, that she wanted to leave with Emerson. To support his hunch, udio followed her to the garden.
“I said it, she and Emerson are nning to leave,” udio thought, seeing his sister going towards the dormitory. “My parents need to know this before it’s toote.” He turned back and got inside the mansion.
Meanwhile, Reba went to the dormitory. She never wanted to see Emerson leave, and she’ll try her best to be with him forever. As she walked on, she saw a shadow reflected on the wall, carrying a bulging backpack. She identified who it was, so she didn’t waste her time getting close.
“Ghost!” Emerson eximed as he looked back, a very pale and bloodied face exposed in front of him, blocking his way because he wanted to run from fear.
“You! I’m not a ghost!” Reba yelled.
Emerson gradually realized that it was just a mask. But hearing her familiar voice, he fell into silence. He knew she couldn’t change her voice. He couldn’t believe it when he saw the woman he loved standing in front of him, trying to stop him from leaving.
“Reba?” He interrogated “Ha-how did you know?”
“How did I know that you were nning to leave?” Reba removed her mask. “That’s so simple as my personal maid has big ears, and I’m thankful that she heard your conversation with brother Damian.”
Emerson scratched his head in annoyance. He realized how bad it was to reveal his next moves, because that could change what he expected. Meanwhile, he also thought that Reba’s impression of him was gradually disappearing.
He doesn’t know what to do now that she’s near, doesn’t know what to say, as if his heart is floating in tears of embarrassment. He cannot tell her that taking a rest is the only reason why he’s leaving.
The spot where they were suddenly became apparent as thempposts lit up, then Reba’s parents appeared many meters away, approaching towards them. What frightened them more was that Elfedio was holding a pistol.
“Are they going to kill me?” Emerson asked, then pped his face, to know if what was happening was just a dream, but it was real, that they caught him leaving.
“Gosh! How did they know that I was going here?” Reba wondered.
“And where are you two going, huh?” Elfedio asked. “If udio didn’t wake us, we wouldn’t know that you’re already leaving. Don’t attempt to leave if you don’t want your brains to explode here!”
“Dad, please don’t do this!” Reba implored. “We’re not trying to escape!”
“I think she’s not telling the truth, Dad,” udio interrupted. “Emerson is carrying a backpack, for sure they are leaving.”
“Yup, but my daughter, in her clothes, do you think she’s leaving too?” Bernadette asked, as she knew that Reba would never go without being dressed properly.
“Well, they are the only ones who can exin this.” Elfedio lowered his gun, put it inside the pocket of his pants, and went towards them, and so did his wife and son.
“Thanks dad. I already told you: I won’t leave here. I just want to visit Emerson because Lucille told me that he’s nning to leave,” Reba exined.
Elfedio finally understood what this was all about; Emerson is the one who needs to be med, because since he arrived there, all the misfortunes have struck, but not going further, he’s also the reason why this is happening.
“And what makes you want to leave?” Elfedio asked him.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
“Sir, with all due respect, I know that I’m not wee here anymore, and there’s no more reason I can give except that,” Emerson replied.
“I think you’re wrong, man,” udio interrupted.
“Yup, udio is right. How can you say that you’re not wee here after what you’ve admitted? For my daughter, you’re always wee here. We’re doing this from now on. And please don’t attempt to leave again,” Elfedio added.
“O, dad!” Reba suddenly cuddled him so tightly that he couldn’t breathe from the gratefulness that invaded his atmosphere. She knew that he was doing all of these things for her and that he could put his ego aside to avoid losing her.
“So, what are we still doing here?” udio broke the silence as he turned back and took some steps. “I’m going back to sleep.”
“You two, don’t attempt to leave again,” Bernadette reminded her as she turned back and continued to the mansion, and so did her husband.
“What are we still waiting for?” Reba asked. “Don’t you want to sleep with me?”
As Emerson pouted his lips of admiration for Reba’s bravery, beauty, cleverness, etc., there’s no doubt that there’s no other woman who can be as perfect as she, as what Mario said, hope his soul may go to heaven. In a sudden movement, Emerson dropped his backpack, spread his arms and embraced Reba.
“My parents already told you. Don’t attempt to leave again if you don’t want me to kick your ass,” Reba whispered right through his ear.
Emerson couldn’t hear anything but his mind shouting how grateful he was. He can no longer distance himself from her, as all he wants to do is to bolster her every day and every night. He suddenly carried Rebba and turned around.
“Oh my-please. Put me down! Put me down!” Rebained, but Emerson was deafened by euphoria that they were finally allowed to flirt there.
“Psssttt!” Someone hissed. “Please lower your voice; I can’t sleep here!”
As the silence prevailed, Emerson and Reba were lying on the grassy yard, looking at the stars and letting the bizarre night pass by.
Meanwhile, udio was irritated that fate was always on their side. He could punch his bed a hundred times out of anger. But as soon as he was tired, hey down on his bed and remembered why he was here.
“I do really need to act or else I can’t get the money left.” He soliloquized and made a n on how to dispatch his sister.
