The Kidnapped Bride

Javier's eyes are golden with an evil grin appearing.

Yet no one was able to witness the same due to the darkness around.

The loud claps were heard when Ryan finished his song, applauded by everyone present.

The same pulled Javier out of his daze when he averted his gaze back to Ryan.

Sliding the phone back into his pocket, he somehow managed to ease the frown that earlier appeared on his forehead.

"It was beautiful, Ryan's just too superb!" Jennifer commented while clapping her hands. Similarly, Hannah had an infinite appreciation for him.

"Agreed! He is just too good at this! Already, we asked him why doesn't he go in the music industry but this stubborn head!" Javier brought the topic out to not only diverge his mind from the message but to bring a few leaks of Ryan.

Hearing Javier's statement, Ryan immediately shook his head in disagreement, "This is only my hobby, not something I treasure. I sing because this is.. something which makes me happy."

"Yet if you go in this field, you will get a good name. It depends on you…" was all that Javier said in return without pressing his eyes on this topic anymore.

He is the one who has to live his life and the decision lies with him too. Javier can't say anything with respect to his life except helping him out.

At the same time, a smile was plastered on Ryan's face.

Thinking about a person whose presence can't be seen anymore., his heart was once again covered with layers of sadness, 'The person.. Who is my inspiration… Is not with me.' 

Despite maintaining a calm and composure look on his face, his heart was always undergoing thousands of emotions that he had to hide no matter what.

After all, you can't share the darkness of your life with everyone…

…

At the same time, Amaira walked over to the hill.

Without caring about anything else she had to climb it with her uneasy heart and baggage of her turmoil emotions.

Her steps were slow but with the help of tress's truck, she chose to climb the small hilltop. For her safety, Ellen purposely followed her and finally found her, looking at the sky in a daze.

"Ms. Johnson, I believe you should now come. back.." his voice brought her out of her thoughts when she looked behind to find his presence, "Ellen… what are you doing here?" 

Shock Was written all over her face which wasn't easy to hide. Walking toward her side, he faced her with a gentle approach, "I just followed you up here. It is still not safe and you can't roam.." 

"I understand that. I just need my space." Her answer seemed to make him narrow his eyes. 'Little girl, you are trying to deceive on me?' He can't help but think but kept mum.

Instead, he took some steps back and let her be in her space for some time before returning. "You can be in your space, Miss." 

Amaira wasn't only shocked but then gazed at him from top to bottom. "You won't say anything else?"

Ellen's brows curved slightly hearing this. The fullness of his eyes made Amaira understand that he took her words in some wrong manner..

"I meant.. won't you force me or just go back?" She cleared it with more understanding gaining a shook from his side.

In return, she nodded her head and hugged her shoulders to stare back at the sky, and indulged in her own thoughts.

But somehow, it was getting hard.

With the presence of someone like Ellen, she found it impossible to get peace. Rather, she found her face to stare at Ellen and opened her mouth.

"Ryan tells you everything, isn't it true?" Her question made Ellen smile. "What do you mean, miss?" 

"Like… you know about the past that we used to share and everything." From her eyes, Ellen found it hard to reject and give a negative answer.

Why? Because he considers Ryan as his younger brother and knows the past very well. Slightly nodding his head in return gave Amaira a hint.

"So you know whatever that happened in the past and about his… girl when he was abroad. Ellen.. you know that he is still holding the grudge of the past and whatever that happened." The irritation and unrestless in her voice were evident which Ellen already noted.

She was almost urging him to spill the beans, why has Ryan changed so much?

Why has he moved on so easily? Was she so easily forgettable? Were their things...so easy to erase?

Tons of questions but Ellen had no idea how to urge them to speak in between them at all.

"I can only say that… Whatever you are seeing Miss Johnson, isn't always true. Some hints are hidden over the shoulders of our eyes and you have to unfold them on your own no matter what happens."

….

Back at the campsite.

Javier and Jennifer already had their food when they all started to gossip. But at the same time, Javier felt a weight over his chest.

Automatically, his eyes shifted their attention to see the lady swallowing soundly in his embrace and had driven off to sleep. 'The day must have been tiring for her..'

The baby's face of hers was an eye thing to watch but he knew the position wasn't comfortable for her to sleep.

Lifting his eyes, he saw his brother say, "I will be taking her back to her camp." his brother nodded his head and he managed to slip her in his arms and bring her to one of their camps.

The two forces were sending deadly glares in their direction but he managed to ignore them like thin air and brought her into the nets, closing the one from the inside.

Making her lay on her mattresses, he covered her with blankets to avoid any kind of cold. Yet, she wasn't entirely sleeping.

Javier felt the movement of her eyes when he looked down at her face to see her slightly opening her eyes and looking at him.

A smirk lifted his lips, "So you aren't asleep."

Vigorously shaking her head, he not only found her cute hut the lame acting of hers has already caught him off guard at this edge, "So you don't wish to sleep? Hmm?" 

"N..no.. just.." 

"Hm? Just? What?" It puzzled him but her next words left him in shock.

"Just KISS ME!"
