Chapter 59：The Breath Of Shadow. (1/2)

Chapter 59: The Breath Of Shadow.

Once everything had calmed down they all sat down to discuss what had happened that day. The talk was long and a bit heated at times but after all of the arguments and petty back and forths, they all decided to drop it. It was all over now so what is the point in carrying on. Haru kept the fact that their boss would now target him a secret from his parents of course.

He didn't want to worry them even more after the day they had already, He could only annoy them so much for one day. It was that night that Haru got to finally relax with his family. Krista spent a few hours online and looked through all of the local take away places.

Zen was determined to buy the most expensive meal they could get but it was unanimously agreed that he had a stupid Idea. What was the point in getting a bunch of money to only through it away on something that is only a little better than what you could get for a fraction of the money?

Krista and Luke weren't materialistic people who liked to flaunt the things they had. Jake and Zen, on the other hand, would show off whenever they had the chance to. That could be wearing designer clothing or even showing off his magic to impress people. Zen always had a driver to take him to places so he could show off his wealth not to mention the high priced custom tailored suits he would wear on a daily basis.

They all settled on a cheap chicken place. It had mediocre reviews but the advertisement was pretty decent. It arrived twenty minutes after they ordered it. They even ordered a whole grilled chicken for Xue to eat. The food was good but nowhere near the quality of food they had eaten for Haru's birthday.

There were no complaints with the night and they then decided to sleep. Haru went upstairs and pulled out his phone. He hadn't checked it since he told Suyin he won't be able to speak for a few days.

He had thirty six messages all from her. [Are you okay? What happened? Please call me when you see this.] All of the messages were along the lines of that. Shit, I forgot to tell her it's over. He thought and then pulled out his phone and called her.

The phone rang once before it was picked up. Whoa that was fast he thought before speaking. ”Hey, I'm okay. It's all over you don't need to worry about it anymore.”

”You idiot! Why would you make me worry like that! Sometimes I really hate you Haru.” It sounded like she was crying. Haru walked over to the window. And opened it up. He sat down on the windowsill as he spoke.

”I'm sorry. Putting you at a distance was the only thing I could do to make sure you were safe. It wasn't just a situation with common street thugs these people were trained government enforcers. I don't know what I would do If you got injured because of me. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.” He told her and then waited silently for her to reply.

”R-really? I thought it was because you thought I would be a bother to you. I didn't expect you to tell me your actual feelings. You are usually so secretive. It makes me happy when you tell me things like this.” She seemed to instantly cheer up. Haru could almost see her beautiful smile in his mind after every word she spoke.

”I'm sorry about that too. Someone told me something earlier today that really made me realise just how much I love you. I don't want to lose you so I thought It would be better to keep you away from danger.”

”I wish you were here. I just want to hold you right now.” She said quietly. ”You want me to come over? Are you sure? What if your dad finds out like last time? He got really mad at me for that.” He asked her. She shrugged her shoulders but then realised that he couldn't see her.

”I don't care if he finds out. I'm actually getting sick of the way he is treating you. If he dares to say something I will tell him exactly where to shove it. And that won't be somewhere pretty.” She giggled and then asked again. ”Please come over. I want to see you right now. I need to make sure you are in one peace.” She worried too much but she had every right too. The whole situation was a mess.

Getting on the wrong side of the government is never a good idea especially for someone who just finished high school and didn't have anyone backing him. ”Sure, I will be there soon. Just make sure you don't fall asleep whilst waiting.” He told her.

”I don't think I can sleep until I see you. You don't have to worry about that happening. Just make sure you are not too long, please. I love you.” She said before hanging up.
