DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 29

"Naizen you are such a stingy asshole!" Ellen shouted after she stepped out from the main door of Naizen's house.

"Come on brother, 1 bottle won't hurt," Hector seconded but he acted like he didn't hear anything from the two.

"Damn! He suddenly became a deaf sh*t! Yvonne, will you please help us?" Ellen yelled for Yvonne stayed inside and all.

"I told you guys, I couldn't for today. I just went here for I know you guys have an activity of helping Yvonne with her stuffs. I am going back to mom and dad's house, I haven't talk to them yet," he answered and the two rolled their eyes in unison and even sent him a glare.

Naizen was just smirking looking at his two best friends leaving in his premises cursing him a lot like he was a real bad ass. After he lost Ellen and Hector's car in his sight, he went back upstairs and knock at Yvonne's room's door.

"That's open, come in please," the woman from the inside yelled.

He carefully and slowly pushed the door open and his eyes narrowed with her forehead knotted when he saw Yvonne sitting in the chair facing the bags and didn't even touch one.

"Are you okay? Do you need help?" he asked and stepped inside.

Naizen admitted that he didn't know anything about the lady for he only found her somewhere in the middle of the battle they had with the terrorist. However, he couldn't help it letting the woman roaming around the city since she doesn't have any home in here.

He just felt like, after the life the woman has through, she deserves atleast once in her life, she would experience how it best having everything you didn't have before. He wasn't spoiling Yvonne for he does not have any reason to do so. He just want to help and his mind was telling her to give her the life that everyone woman should have.

After this help, he will let her do whatever she want to do. If she would tell him she wants to work, he will let her work as long as he know she's safe.

"I don't know," Yvonne answered and glanced at Naizen before bringing her sight back to the bags scattered in the floor. It has more than 50 bags in here and she doesn't know which among these bags she should open first.

And aside from that, she don't know if she really want to have these things. Although she also knew she doesn't have any choices, she just couldn't help thinking that she came into these people's lives, into Naizen's life to become such a burden.

"You don't know? Is there something that bothers you a now?" Naizen asked back.

"Thank you for letting me stay here in your house, Naizen. I couldn't help thinking on how or in any way that could pay you even a penny. I don't have anything in me," she said and Naizen was taken back when he saw how Yvonne's tears immediately came out from her eyes.

"I am not asking you to pay me back. All I want is to help you, give you the life I know that every girls deserves to have. This will be the last help that I will be giving to you. Starting next week, you have to look for whatever you could find of a job to support you on your daily expenses and all," he answered long and seriously.

He didn't even stutter of saying a word, he was aiming to let Yvonne understand every and each word that he mumbled.

"I promise to pay you back soon. I wouldn't know when this will be but I assure you too," she responded sniffing. "As I laid my eyes on the bags, it reminded me how pitty of a life I had way back at Herria. I didn't even know some of these things exist. I only know, tees, pants and jackets. But Ellen put something I didn't know exist and was in need."

He just nodded for he do not know what would be the exact words he should tell her. Yvonne was kind off emotional for something she just seen for the first time and what could he do about that? Obviously, nothing!

He turned his back at Yvonne. However, when he was about to hold his hand at the doorknob, he stopped when he heard her called his name. He turned to see Yvonne but he was stunned when the woman suddenly jumped to wrap her arms around his neck.

Naizen's eyes widened with her action. He held her shoulder and was about to push her back when he hear sniffles and that stopped him from doing so. He just let the woman do whatever she wanted to do.

"I am sorry for being such a burden to your life. Thank you for being brave of taking me out from the corners of my death. Naizen, I would never felt tired of telling you how much I thank you," she said while sobbing so damn hard.

"It's okay. Even if it doesn't me and would had a chance to see you in your state, everyone would surely help you. Help yourself and stay brave. No one that can help you get a life back but only yourself," he responded and felt Yvonne nodded her head.

Yvonne lifted her head up to see Naizen, she smiled and nodded to him, "thank you. Thank you for trusting me despite the fact that you didn't know anything about me. This means a lot to me, Naizen," she said.

"I'm going to leave you here by yourself. If you are ready to get a job, tell me," Naizen softly said.

"Why are you so kind to me? I mean, you don't know me, you just know my name. Although, I told you my story but you couldn't be so sure if I was really telling the whole truth. I may or may not be lying but who knows?" Yvonne seriously said.
