Avery got up and sat down again and now she was facing the man, so she can see his face. She estimates he is about fifteen years older than her. He seems to be older than his real age because of the darkening around the chin and side of the face caused by the growth of small shaved hairs. His jaw was set and, for a man, it seemed like he had got an impressive set of eyes that captured many women in just one stare. The man stared at her face as if amused or fantasizing. The part of his body that is prominent in this man is hairy, and the hairs that grow on his chest are denser.

"Are you committing suicide? Don't. It's a pity if a fish eats your beautiful body." The man seemed amused.

Avery backed away when she noticed he was going to caress her cheek with one hand.

"Relax. I'll just pull your hair out. " He said, stunned, but the excitement shifted to his eyes.

She stood up and looked like a frightened animal ready to run while studying what the man do next. The man also stood up, in the form of an alarm. His amusement was no longer in his form. He held out his hand to her, wanting to prevent her imaginary leaving.

"Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you. You need a hot drink, and that's just my house. "

He pointed to the house above the waterfront the one she was wondering who owned the house at the time.

"Come."

He would have grabbed her hand when she avoided it and ran away.

"Wait!" the man shouted at her.

Avery turned around and saw him chasing across the heavy rain, so she run even more. She turned around again and the man stopped chasing her because he couldn't catch up with her either. Avery doesn't know why she seemed to laugh at seeing the man disgusted.

"I just want to know your name!" was the angry man's shout at her.

"My name is Avery!" she shouted back.

Avery was surprised by the visitor when she got home.

"Where have you been?" Apollo frowned and seemed to ask angrily.

She was dumbfounded at the door as if she had seen a ghost. She would not have acted if her mother had not approached her with a towel.

"Avery, why did you get wet in the rain?" her mother asked.

Avery didn't say a word to her mother's question. Moments later, Apollo's eyes focused on her chest scratch on the wet clothes. Then he shifted his gaze to her face.

"I think you bathed in the rain again like before. You act like a child, Avery."

"What are you doing here?" was her tough question.

She hid her body in the wrap of the towel that her mother had covered her with.

"Let's stop this foolishness. I'm swallowing my pride and I'm taming you. Come with me back to the city. "

"Swallowed your pride?"

Avery was almost irritated with anger. Her mother kept coming closer.

"Talk to each other well, Avery, while your father is away."

"Dad hasn't seen him yet?"

"Your father just left when Apollo arrived. He said he would look for you because the rain was already stopping."

Why didn’t this guy think to find her now if he was really worried? She was enraged by the thought.

"We don't have anything else to talk about. Whatever we're going to talk about has already been discussed. It's over." she said and hurried to the room.

"Your toughness! What else do you want me to do?" Apollo gripped her arm tightly.

"Don't hurt my daughter, especially when I'm around." her mother said in a hard voice.

"I'm not hurting her. I just want us to talk. " In a high-pitched voice, Apollo said to my mother.

"Wait until I get dressed." Avery looked at Apollo deeply, then angrily pulled her arm.

Apollo released her and she entered the room and made sure to lock the door tightly. She deliberately slowed down her dressing and combing motions because she wanted to annoy Apollo.

"What is it, Avery? You seem to be kidding me! " Apollo knocked loudly on the door.

"Will you open the door or will I destroy it?"

If she hadn't just remembered her father coming and the two men colliding, she wouldn't have stood in her seat and let Apollo's voice grow louder, screaming outside the door. But as she was worried about her father's welfare, she got up and opened the door.

Apollo looks at me badly, obviously just holding back his anger.

"We're going to talk in the living room," she said coldly.

She headed towards the living room. And her mother already sitting on the wooden sofa, and Apollo sat across from her.

"What are we going to talk about? " she asked coldly.

"I want you to come with me back to the city."

"You beg or you command me?"

"All right, I beg you."

"I guess you forgot we had a problem, so I left," she said.

"That was before, and I'm getting medical treatment now."

Apollo looked at her mother as if he is ashamed.

"I've learned my lesson," said Apollo as he approached her and took her hand.

"How many times have you sinned, Apollo? Aren't you tired? Because if you ask me, I'm too tired. " she said.

"It's different now. It's true. I'll be sober and you'll see my recovery. "

Apollo had a gynecological disease and was forced to confess it to her. He wasn’t sure where he got his sickness. Maybe because he uses many women and pays them.

"And what about your job? "

"Even if they fire me from my previous job, I will be able to find another. I have been hired by a software company as a programmer. The promotion is easy. All I need to do is show that I'm okay. My marriage life is fine. You'll think about it. I was curious what my boss would say if he found out I was separated from my wife. "

Apollo was fired because he had a girlfriend who was his co-worker who was married. So the woman's husband found out they had an affair and he almost got shot inside the office.

Is that the only reason he tames me? Not for the two of us to be okay? But for his own sake? She thought bitterly that he would use her as a cover-up image to form himself.

"I've also found another apartment, so you won't be embarrassed by the neighbors. Let's start a new life. "

So Apollo looked for a new apartment because Apollo's girlfriend's husband had tried to burn down their apartment before. Fortunately, the authorities found out, arrested the man, and shouted Apollo's dirty doings. She doubted that would happen, but she chose to remain silent.

"What? Don't you have anything to say? Will you just keep quiet? " Apollo asked her, then turned to her mother.

"Please explain it to your daughter."

Her mother shook her head.

"That's your problem. I can't dictate to her what she wants. We've already dictated her in marrying you."

Apollo was stunned. In his absence, he fell silent and stared deeply at her mother.

"Look, My car is waiting outside. It can't get in here because there's no way," said Apollo, turning to her again.

"Your car?" she asked.

"I mean, the company's car, I'm allowed to use it but if you want, I can make a down payment to become mine as you can see that my record with the company is good, so I don't want my record to be stained. "
