Mission 6: Run Away from a Woman with Cute but Dangerous Smile
THE UMBRELLA IS VIBRATING. His hands are shaking. His torso is trembling. But he just stood there holding an umbrella for the Vice Captain of the first squad.
Well, he did not just stood there. He stood there for like hours now. It took him maybe half a day already. He almost couldn't feel his hand anymore.
"Ahmm. Do you want me to join them?" he asked referring to those men who were building muscles for battles. "You have to train me, remember? " He is starting to get irritated.
Is she thinking that this is just a joke? Is she thinking that him, joining in their squad is just a joke?
Yes. He is weak. Because he was never born for such hard work. His hands are soft as baby ' s.
But he is here to work and destroy the soft texture of his hand so he can return to his old life--in luxury and famous.
"Just stood there and hold the umbrella. It's not yet time, " she mumbled as she popped inside her mouth another piece of cookies.
"How about a drink? Should I get you one?" he asked again after a while.
Yes. That's right. She must be thirsty from all those coarse cookies she's been eating this morning.
She smiled. " Not thirsty. "
Again, there was a silence between them. If he could just stretch for a couple of seconds. That will not be a problem, right?
"Don't plan on removing that umbrella even for a second. Don't you know how much did I sacrifice just to get this pretty skin?" Aisel asked.
"Can I just stretch for a moment ? I' ve been holding this for hours. "
Her cute face turned around to him and looked up to his face with her smile.
"Move it and I'll cut your hand off," she said while smiling from ear to ear.
His throat became dry, as his Adam's apple went up and down. He can sense something from her smile.
She might look like happy but she is telling the truth. She is a cute woman that he can't deny. But he can tell that she is a dangerous woman. And definitely a sadist.
"Good work everyone ! Lunch break!" Amber shouted from afar. "Okay. Time for a lunch break," she stood finally and looked at him. "You're also done with your job." She even raised a thumbs up to him.
Finally!
As he put his hands down, the umbrella slid off his fingers. It has the same feeling when he started to learn piano and practiced for the whole day.
The Captain of the first squad, Amber, walked near them. As always, he may have a small build, but he looks strong and very responsible. He looks serious for all the trainings.
"How is he?" Amber asked.
"He's not bad," she answered smiling sweetly.
Liar! He did not do any training. It's all plain torture.
How did he even did something good?
They all went to the lunchroom. He followed his fellow men under the squad.
It was like a typical cafeteria he sees at the modern world. Everyone will get their own tray and lined up to where they would get their food.
His hands are still tired. It is still shaking.
"Grey!" Dio shouted from his back and there he saw his cousin approaching.
"I just heard. They transferred you to the first squad. How lucky you are ! I can't believe they dragged you to the dungeon last night. I thought you're dead. What the hell did you do that you ended up like that? " he said and walk with him to find a table to eat their lunch.
"It's because I s--" he remembered what Rojjan told him earlier. "Maybe I was just lucky."
"Or maybe, it was about the eggs? I gave that to you as a lucky charm. See? You're still alive," Dio boasted.
He remembered what he did with the eggs. He cooked it to an omelette and the dragon ate it instead of him.
HE'S IN DANGER! How could he forgot she was the villain the kingdom wants to eliminate.
He's going to die here. Is this the end of his story? Never in his life met such fierce woman.
She was turning into a dragon when she attacked him. The dragon inhaled and was about to breathe him a fire when it paused.
The dragon's eyes closed and her nose began sniffing. Slowly, she turned back to being a normal woman. She is still sniffing the air.
Her attention moved to the eggs he was cooking. She came to where it was and began munching the freshly cooked food.
"Ahmm th --that's an omelette," he said. He doesn't know if he can still go near her. But still, he tried.
She was too busy eating his cooking. Maybe that was the time he can get his reward. He stepped towards her and began sniffing her hair.
But then, the woman stepped away from him and stopped eating. Her hand lifted and swiftly landed on his left cheek .
He did not see it coming. He never thought a woman would ever slap him that hard.
She ran away as she turned to dragon and flew away.
A SMILE CURVED HIS LIPS. "Yeah. I guess it's my lucky charm. That's why I'm still alive."
"Hey! You! Come here! "
He heard Aisel's sharp voice from somewhere. He turned around to see her waving at him and asking him to sit at their table.
Everyone's looking at him. He is supposed to be happy that he is getting attention. But that time, he felt embarrassed.
"Here! Here! Here! Sit!" Aisel is even tapping the chair beside her.
"Aisel! He's not a pet," Amber said.
"Why not? He can be my pet. You said this morning that I will be responsible for him, right?" Aisel acted like a kid.
Amber sighed deeply. Obviously, his head is having the hardest headache.
"Let's just sit with them. I might be given a chance to join your squad," Dio suggested.
He started walking and sit with them in a very relax way.
He, too, sit across Aisel who was smiling while her chin is on top on those bent hands on the table.
"Hi Gri - Gri," she greeted him with her sweetest smile.
Gri - gri ? Is she crazy? Well, she is really crazy.
Everybody see it as a cute smile but for him, it was dangerous.
Most of all, a pet? He will be a pet for this sadist woman? No way! He will not let it to happen. He needs to escape from her as soon as possible or he will end up being tortured.
