Make Love Not War

Chapter 13

Early the next morning we took a plane back to Arcadia Moon Flats, TY. We got to Iah’s parents house and for some reason I felt at home. We all settled in and afterwards had breakfast. We talked at the table about the plan and we were ready to tackle the assignment like Kage said. I was going back to my own town tomorrow and facing my enemies. I hope that after everything is done I can bury my parents properly. Iah came to my side and asked me to go to the garden with him. I said okay and followed him. I asked him what was wrong. Iah said: I know my mother got to you yesterday and I apologize, I did tell her how I felt about you and that we kissed. She just told me not to break your heart. I told her I would never do that and that it was your choice if you wanted to give me a chance. I know you are going through a lot but I still want you to know I love you and I'm here for you. I was surprised and in shock when he said he loved me. I asked him: Are you sure you love me? Why? He replied: Yes and I'm falling in love with you, all of you. I smiled and gave him a hug. He asked me: Are you sure you want to do this? I said: Yes if not for my fathers sake at least for mine. I need closure so I can start my life again and my parents can rest in peace. He nodded and we walked back inside. I excused myself so i can rest and prepare myself mentally for tomorrow.

So Today is the day. It's Five in the morning and i'm awake ready to tackle anything. I got dressed and I got a small button on my dress that looked normal to me. I could see everyone on the screen and I could hear them talking, so everything was working correctly. We were getting ready and we rehearsed if anything went wrong what I should do. Iah and the team would be ready for anything. Okay is everyone ready? asked Mr.Koray. We all said yes in unison. So we loaded in a van and started to head back to my old town. They parked a block away so I could get out and be as normal as possible. Then they parked right across the bank, easy to reach and fast too.

I started to cross the street and I stopped in front of the doors I once walked through in confidence. Some people were staring and talking amongst each other. I opened the doors and said: Good morning at the front desk. Miss. Cringe, you are alive and here, said the secretary. I answered: Yes Mrs. Olie, why wouldn't I be? She swallowed hard and said no reason. How can I help you today? I answered: I would like to pay my fathers debt and then close his account and my mothers. She said okay, let me pull up his account and see what we can do. All of a sudden her facial expression changed. I asked what is wrong? She said: Well your fathers account is Thirteen thousand dollars and I don't know how you would pay that with your salary. I said: It's none of your business how I'm paying it as long as it's paid correctly? She looked at me surprised because I have never spoken to anyone that way, I wouldn't dare. But I was already frustrated and it took longer than I should have. I just wanted to get this over with. Okay and how will you be paying Miss. Cringe? I said: cash and all big bills, is that okay? She said sure and by the way the banker Mr. Soloman would like to speak with you afterwards. I asked why? I don't know said Mrs. Olie. So I finished my transaction and got my paperwork after closing both my parents accounts. Before I was about to leave I told Miss. Olie to tell the banker I had nothing to say to him. I got up from the seat and was about to start to walk out when I heard Mr. Soloman says my name. I turned around and stared at him. I wanted to cry but I held back my tears. I said to him: I have nothing to say to you sir. He said: Please may I have at least five minutes to talk. I agreed and said: You only have five minutes. I walked to his office and stood. He said: please sit down and we have something to discuss. I said: no thank you, say what you have to say, I have things to take care of. He started by apologizing for the death of my parents and all I could do was nod. I said thank you. He continued by saying: You know your father and I had an agreement. I said: Really and what was that? He said: When he took out the loan for your college tuition, if he didnt pay it by your graduation you would have to marry my son and you would have to work off his debt. I said: Well, I didn't know about this agreement and by the way I just paid off my fathers debt. Mr Soloman started to laugh and said: Well it's not valid because it's too late.

Inside the van…

Iah said: Here we go boys and he better not touch her. Kage said: Calm down Iah he has to say everything we want so we can arrest him and take them down. Iah said: I know it's just making me mad that he talks to her like he owns her. Kage said: I know and I promise nothing will happen to her. We have to follow the rules if we want to win this unlawful game they are playing.

Back in the bank…

A door opened in Mr. Soloman's office and two men walked out and his son Ernesh walked out too. Ernesh said: My my, look how grown up my little wife looks. I answered: I am no one's wife, especially yours. I bet if my father was here….Mr. Solomon cut me off and said: Well he is not and if I hadn't sent my men to collect my money and he refused to do as I said he would be alive right now. He wanted to keep his precious little girl to himself. Your mother was an accident, we didn't mean to kill her but she jumped in front of the gun to save your father. I said: What did you say? You killed my parents? Why? They never did anything to you or anyone for that matter. Ernesh jumped in and said: Yes, if he would've listened to my father I wouldn't have had to forge your name and make you mine. This time I was yelling: I will never be your and you will pay for everything you have done. They all started laughing and Ernesh tried to grab me and kiss me. I slapped him so hard my hand was on fire.
