Love Worth Fighting For

“But it’s not my fault, then why should I be the victim?”

“It’s not fair, if he really hates the girl, just take it out on him. Don’t be on other people so that it ends up harming others, you selfish bastard.”

“Damn monsters suck!!”

“Fucking ugly monsters?”

Suri immediately turned to the source of the voice, where her mother was standing at this time. Anne, who overheard what Suri said, then repeated what her favorite daughter had said.

“Just finished watching what movie, honey?” asked Anne again softly.

Suri who was still sitting on her big bed immediately got up and immediately ran to her mother and hugged her tightly. Anne smiled broadly when Suri returned to spoil her.

“Mommy....”

.....

“Yes honey, what’s wrong?”

Suri lifted her face from her mother’s chest and looked at her sadly. “What is broken heart like, Mom?”

Anne raised one eyebrow. “Broken heart, why do you ask like that?”

“Answer my question first, Mom.”

Anne chuckled, being uncomfortable talking standing up. Anne then took Suri back to the bed, after being in a comfortable position Anne touched Suri’s cheek gently. “Broken heart is a condition where we are disappointed after expecting more.”

“Mommy ever had a broken heart?” Suri asked innocently, had never been in a relationship and the like made Suri so unfamiliar with such terms.

“Of course, but Mommy hope you never feel that way. Mommy wants you to always be happy, it’s enough for Mommy to feel all the bitterness in life,” replied Anne softly. “Mommy wants Mommy’s children to always be happy.”

“Mommy...”

“If something bothers you, don’t hesitate to tell Mommy, honey. Trust me, Mommy will always be by your side,” said Anne again.

Suri’s eyes sparkled. “Always on my side?”

“Yes, Mommy will always be there for you.”

Suri immediately hugged Anne tightly, she was too happy to forget the discussion she had with Aldrich a while ago. Suri always misses the opportunity to tell her parents about Areez. Suri didn’t realize she was making things even more complicated.

Because the music teacher had arrived, Suri then prepared to go down. Although Suri had previously attended college, her parents did not allow her to continue her studies again. Jack and Anne are still too afraid to let Suri go outside without their supervision, that’s why all of Suri’s activities are carried out inside the house. All the teachers were called home to teach all of Suri’s shortcomings for the past three years.

“Suri knows the teacher has arrived, dear?” asked Jack quietly, startling Anne who had just come out of Suri’s room.

Anne nodded slowly. “Alright, she’s getting ready inside.”

“That kid isn’t bored with all this hectic activity, is she?” asked Jack back worriedly.

“No, Suri actually looks excited. Her enthusiasm for learning is still very high,” answered Anne honestly with a smile.

“Thanks for that, I’m glad to hear that.”

Anne pursed her lips. “Oh yeah, what about the results? Have you found what you were looking for?”

Jack’s face immediately darkened. “Not yet, that woman is really very skilled, honey. She is so professional, not a single trace of her left in the hotel.”

“What if she finds out Suri is free, will she come and kidnap Suri again with her gang like that time, Jack?” asked Anne in a trembling voice, her eyes immediately filled with tears.

“I won’t,” Jack answered quickly. “I won’t let that happen, they have to pass through my corpse first if they want to touch my daughter again.”

Anne immediately hugged Jack tightly, Jack’s words soothed her heart. Anne and Jack, who are still so immersed in their guilt for Suri, don’t realize that they have made the wound in Christian’s heart deeper, Suri’s words about Elena make them forget how important Elena is to Christian. They are too focused on finding out the person who hurt Suri and ignore the fact that what they are doing right now is making their son so tormented. Christian, who is also wracked with guilt for Suri, begins to doubt Elena, Elena who is so pure and sincerely loves him.

Even though he is with Elena, Christian continues to monitor the search for Ronin and his men about the girl Suri calls part of the person who kidnapped him. Ronin’s attempts to hack space satellites are still not successful, the existence of several hackers who were previously caught for trying to hack the space station previously made the system security tightened. And this is what makes Ronin a little difficult.

Christian seems to be waiting for the verdict to die, the seconds he goes through are so torturous. His fear of losing Elena is getting bigger but on the other hand he will not be able to close his eyes to what Suri has been through. His only younger sister had been in so much torment during these three years, he had lost many precious opportunities and time. His oath to always protect and protect Suri is being tested by God by giving Elena as a second choice for him, Christian is really in such a difficult choice.

“Christ, you’re not daydreaming, are you?” Elena who was explaining some work to Christian was surprised when she saw Christian just kept quiet without changing his expression.

Because there was no answer from Christian, Elena then waved her hand in front of Christian’s face, making Christian startled.

“Are you daydreaming?” Elena repeated her words.

Christian purses his lips. “No, I don’t...”

“If you’re not daydreaming, then tell me what I was talking about earlier?”

“Elena...”

Elena took a deep breath, slowly she pushed aside the file that was on her lap and approached Christian who was sitting near the bed where he felt he was working at the moment.

“What’s bothering you? You look like you’re thinking about something heavy,” Elena asked again softly.

Christian holds Elena’s hand trying to touch her face. “Nothing, I’m not thinking about anything. It seems I’m just too tired, continuing to serve me day and night for the past two days is really draining my energy.”

Elena panicked and immediately covered Christian’s mouth with both hands. “Watch your word, Christ. What if someone hears? My house isn’t as big as yours!”

Christian lowers Elena’s hands from his lips and chuckles. “So what? Your father and mother will understand, they were young too.”

“Christ!!”

“Ok ok...I won’t talk about it anymore.”

“Promise me?!”

Christian nods slowly. “Promise.”

Elena’s smile immediately widened. “Okay, let’s get back to work then, shall we. I want all my work done before the weekend, so I can enjoy the weekend with you.”

Elena’s last words are not heard by Christian who is lost in his thoughts again, the last information from Ronin makes him so uneasy and scared. Ronin, who has now managed to get into the security system of the space satellite, is trying to find the photo they are looking for.

“I hope you don’t disappoint me, Elena..I hope you haven’t been faking all this time. Please don’t break my trust...”
