CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
SERRAN lowered his left hand which was used to hold his cell phone which had been attached to his left ear to contact someone, his parents to be precise. This time he walked over to the kitchen table where Hana and David were sitting close together.
“older brother, it looks like mom and dad won’t be coming home for the next few days, luckily. Otherwise, Mommy will be furious seeing the condition of the three of you. I’ll go upstairs first. I want to see Adriel condition there.”
David nodded.
“Go ask that bastard. If I did I’d definitely beat him up again.”
“hehh… okey, David”.
Serran who received a nod from David immediately walked away from there leaving Hana and David, of course to go to Adriel’s room. He wanted to hear an explanation from him, why he and David almost killed each other so early in the morning like this.
“I’ll treat your wound.” Hana said quietly as she just came after taking the red medicine and alcohol from the storage drawer.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She sat right in front of David’s chair by placing some medicine on the table. Just as Hana raised her hand to clean David’s wound, her arm was restrained.
“You should be treated first, let me come later. I’m really worried about you. Look, your cheeks even need cold compresses. Wait here.” David stood up from the chair and walked to the fridge to get some ice cubes, he put it in a cloth and then returned to Hana who was still sitting quietly watching David’s movements.
“Come here.” David touched the tip of Hana’s chin and he tilted it slightly so that his bruised cheek was facing David.
“Shhh…” Hana grimaced as the cold cloth touched her cheek.
“Sick?”
Hana shook her head slowly.
“No, just a little sore.” She said with a small smile on her lips.
“It’s the same Hana. I’ll take it slower.” David pressed the cloth gently to channel the icy cold on the bruise that looked a little purplish blue. How hard did Adriel hit Hana?
David lowered his cloth.
“What did Adriel actually do to you? Tell me a little Hana. Trust me.”
Hana just smiled softly.
“No David, calm down. He just couldn’t control himself last night. It’s gone.” She replied with a smile still on her lips.
David who saw it knew that Hana was lying. He raised his hand again. But this time, not to stick to the cold cloth, but to gently stroke Hana’s honey-brown mane slowly from the top of his head to the ends of Hana’s hair which looks a little long.
“You know? I want to be the first one you talk to. I know you’ve been through all the trials in your life. You shouldn’t have accepted all that, the person who did everything should be severely punished. Hana, you trust me right? ”
Adriel and Serran walked down the stairs to the room where David and Hana were now. Serran had heard the story from Adriel, and to be honest, it really pissed him off. No wonder David beat him all out. Serran knew that Adriel was Hana’s official husband, but what he did was outrageous.
“Remember, you have to apologize. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up like David.”
“hmm..”replied Adriel lazily.
The two of them stopped when they were about to enter the room. There, right on the chair opposite each other, David and Hana were now looking at each other, even very deeply. Adriel is like dejavu , he seems to have seen David and Hana’s scene like this.
“Kheemm…” Adriel cleared his throat immediately making Hana and David’s activities stop.
“What?” asked David curtly.
“I want to talk to Hana, just the two of us .” said Adriel by emphasizing the last word in the sentence he said.
Heard Adriel’s words who only wanted to be alone with her. Hana immediately inched by holding the wrist of David who was sitting beside him. As if understanding, David gently stroked Hana’s hand which was above his wrist. Adriel rolled his eyes lazily at the scene in front of him now.
“Can’t I come with you? Looks like Hana is afraid to be alone with a bastard like you.”
“Tch… i won’t hurt her”
“Really? After what you did to him last night?”
“Come on, don’t complicate things. I’m just going to talk to her for a bit. Remember I’m her husband, not you.” Point Adriel to David.
“Calm down David, Adriel won’t mess around, I can guarantee it. If necessary we will wait in the living room. Hana sister is it okay?” he asked quietly to Hana who was still holding David’s hand. “Don’t worry, if he messes up you just have to shout. David and I will come straight here. How about it? I also need to talk to you hyung.” The lyrics to David.
David glanced at Hana who was still silent, he stroked the hand again then turned to Hana’s back mane.
“It’s okay, isn’t it? Remember my words earlier. I’m not going anywhere.” David smiled softly and stood up from her seat. He walked towards Serran who was already waiting for him.
“If you mess around you’re finished.” He whispered before leaving.
David leaned back on the sofa he was sitting on. He stared at the ceiling of the living room where he was now with Serran.
“david”
“Hmm..”
“I know what Adriel did to Hana sister last night. After I forced him, Adriel finally wanted to tell me.”
“What was he talking about?”
“Adriel slept with Hana last night. In a very drunk state I think.”
David who heard that immediately stood up and was ready to go into Hana and Adriel’s room now. David immediately imagined how Adriel treated Hana last night.
“Hey calm down! I already told Adriel to apologize. And I hope he really does.”
David ruffled his hair using both hands, and put his buttocks back on the soft sofa.
“Arrgggghhh!!! Bastard. Why does it have to be Adriel ?!”
“Brother, calm down. What are you doing? I know you like Hana sister. But remember Adriel is Hana sister’s official husband.”
“I don’t like it” the answers.
“Then?” Serran asked confused, what does the older brother mean? It was clear that the older brother really liked Hana. He can see it from his attitude and actions towards Hana.
“I love her. I love her so much, in fact I really want to protect her. This is driving me crazy. Could this be the punishment I got for hating her on our second meeting? I should have greeted her warmly then.”
“Are you busy tomorrow?” Adriel asked starting the conversation first.
“No.” Hana replied with the fingers she kept playing. She lowered her head.
“Good then, accompany me somewhere tomorrow. I don’t accept rejection at all. Tomorrow at nine in the morning.”
“But Adriel, don’t you have work tomorrow morning?” Hana asked with her head still lowered.
“I’ll have Rizal handle everything.” Adriel looked at Hana who still didn’t dare to look at him. He took a deep breath. “I won’t hurt you, if that’s what you’re afraid of. Tomorrow morning, remember.” Adriel stood up from his chair. “Reply me.” He continued.
“Yeah Adriel, I’ll remember. I’ll wake up early.” Hana answered hastily.
“Good”.
Cup..
Without warning or anything, Adriel suddenly kissed the top of Hana’s head with his right hand holding Hana’s back and gently stroked it.
“I’m sorry”.
