66 Love & Peace (1/2)

In an apartment on the 72nd floor of White Angel Corporation.

Agatha was sleeping alone on a bed.As the first ray of sunlight fell on the room, she opened her eyes. After freshening up she moved towards the living room.

She was stuck on the floor in disbelief after entering the living room. A man was adjusting items on the tables. The man seemed to notice her so he turned around and said, ”Good morning.”

”Good morning...” Agatha absentmindedly repeated the greeting. Getting over her surprise she quickly said, ”Kiba, you did say that we will meet soon but I didn't expect this soon. It has not even been 12 hours.”

”I thought it would be a good idea to have a breakfast together so I came here,” Kiba said trying to sound normal but there was a clear hint of panic in his voice.

Agatha eyed the 'breakfast':Pancakes, bagel, waffles, baked eggs, taquito, crepes, quiche, toast, milk, juice, coffee, fruits, and a dozen more items.

” If it is not up to your liking, I can bring whatever you want in no time,” Kiba said while taking a seat.

”Ah...no it is more than enough,” Agatha took a seat as well. She was surprised by the events but she didn't mind his presence here.

After ten minutes, Agatha finished her breakfast and looked at Kiba who was drinking juice.

”Thanks,” Agatha thanked him for the breakfast and continued, ”From next time I need a nutritious breakfast instead of a luxurious one.”

”I-I will remember from next time,” Kiba was clearly nervous.

”Can I ask why you are so panicked?” Agatha asked. She could see the nervousness on his face.

”I...” Kiba took a deep breath. He has spent the entire night on thinking about the life blooming inside Agatha.

He wasn't sure of how things happened but he knew the feeling he felt from Agatha wasn't false.So he decided to have an honest conversation with Agatha.

”There is something I want to tell you,” Kiba was never this nervous in his entire life.

”Ok. Shoot,” Agatha didn't think much of it.

”I am the father of Hope,” Kiba quickly said everything in a single sentence.

Agatha was leaving her seat when she heard Kiba's words. She lost her balance and almost fell on the floor but Kiba quickly gave her support.

He teleported both of them upon the bed in the bedroom.

”Is that a joke?” Agatha was displeased. But then she remembered Kiba's reactions from before and she thought he was likely speaking the truth. She tried to calm herself and think on what it implied.

”I had a paternity test...was it manipulated by Hank or my family?” Agatha clearly knew the extent business families would go to save their reputation and benefit.

Kiba braved his heart and said,”No.”

”No? Then who?” Agatha couldn't understand who can do such a thing.

”Will you believe if I said that I changed the report without knowing?” Kiba answered in a very low voice.

Agatha has her eyes wide open with shock. Almost as a reflex, she slapped him on his cheeks.

Kiba didn't feel any pain but Agatha, on the other hand, screamed loudly as her hand released a sound of bone cracking.

”I am sorry,” Kiba was never this panicked in his entire life. He made a grasping motion towards air and from out of nowhere, tiny blood-red particles appeared on Agatha's fractured hand. Quickly they entered inside her hand and regenerated her bone in no time.

”You better give me a reasonable explanation,” Agatha was having a hard time gripping with the reality.

”Trust me when I say this but I only learned everything after meeting you yesterday,” Kiba knew how unbelievable his words were. Even he couldn't believe what he saw from the security logs so how could he expect Agatha to believe?

Agatha was feeling a severe headache. How was she supposed to react?

”What do we do now?” Agatha asked after few minutes of silence.

”I don't know,” Kiba answered. He has made plans for fighting with the forces from world government but never for the current crisis.

”Can you answer my next few questions with full honesty?” Agatha asked.

”Yes,” Kiba nodded.

”Do you want to be involved in Hope's life?” Agatha slowly asked.

”I don't know,” Kiba answered honestly.

”So her existence is something which happened by an incident and you don't know if you want to take responsibility or not?” Agatha asked.

”I...” Kiba didn't know how to answer.

Agatha gave a deep sigh. She knew his dreams so she could pretty much guess what type of shock this situation has given him.
