After I dropped my dad off at the airport, I got back into my car. I sighed when I felt the eyes watching me. I won't run away, but why don't they stop me? I started the car when someone knocked on the window. So I immediately opened it.
"What? You think I'll run away?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Just make sure, Athena. We are watching your movements. We will wait for you later in the abandoned building where we have a rehearsal," said the man and walked away.
I leaned on the car seat and thought. What is this mess I got into? But I thought if I didn't go home, my father would surely be dead by now. Very smart, but as he got older, he couldn't think straight. I drove my car away. I went home first and put on a black jacket and denim pants, then I also put on shoes. When I arrived at the abandoned place, they were all waiting for me. I don't like what I'm doing, but I have no choice; my soul is mortgaged to Satan, which I can't claim again. They gave me a gun, and they were going to give me two apples that a man was holding in both hands. How can I make the wrong gun? Will the man be hit?
"Shoot it, Athena. All of our lives depend on you. Because if we don't teach you right, the boss will be angry with all of us, and maybe we will be punished," said the man earlier.
So I immediately positioned myself with the gun and shot at the two apples that the man was carrying, I couldn't believe that I hit all of them without the man being injured. Then we practiced fighting, I could hardly breathe from the punches and kicks I received from them. My body is thin but he wasn't afraid to kick me? The day will come when I will kill them all too.
When I got home, I immediately fell asleep because of the bruises that I got all over my body as if all my bones were broken. I don't want to go back there but I can't do anything. I didn't realize the next day when I woke up maybe because I was tired and I also forgot to eat dinner. My cell phone that was in my pants pocket rang and I saw that it was my sister who was in the Philippines calling so I immediately answered it.
"Hello," I said.
"Athena, papa came home without a word. Does he have a problem with the place where he lives?" answered my sister.
"I don't know. Maybe he's just on vacation. It's up to you to take care of him, sister," I said.
"Of course. Before I couldn't force him to go now suddenly. I don't understand your father's attitude, Athena," he said with a laugh.
"That's our father," and we laughed.
I want to cry and report to my sister what I experienced here because of what my father did, but I don't because I don't want her to feel sorry for me as well as my niece and her husband. While Atlas is too busy with his upcoming wedding to Cathaliya, everything is ready, including the church and reception venue as well as all the attendees. We're too ready so we're just waiting for the time, so the one we've been waiting for has arrived, so I woke up early because I was leaving early. This is the day I've been waiting for the most to marry the girl I love so much and spend the rest of my life with. I showered early and when I came out, someone was waiting to put a little makeup on me. I used to think that only women can be men too. A few hours later I was on my way to church and I was almost restless in my seat. One of my bodyguards was driving for me and the others just followed. When I arrived at the church many people were waiting. I walked to the front of the altar to wait for the girl I love. I want us to come to the church together so that I don't have to worry like this and he can be safe because I can watch over him.
After a few minutes, it starts. The door of the church opened and I saw a beautiful woman wearing a white wedding gown. She is stunning and attractive, I was sweating profusely and nervous as I looked at the woman walking with her mother and father. Maybe this is how the bride feels nervous, I hope it ends without trouble. After some time we were in front of the priest.
"We are all here to witness the union of these two people getting married. You, man. Do you accept this woman as your lawful wife? In sickness and in health? Richer and Poorer, till death do us part?" the priest asked me.
"Yes, Father,"
"And you woman, do you accept this man as your lawful husband, in sickness, and health? Richer and in poorer, till death do us part?" the priest asked Cathaliya.
"Yes, Father," she answered.
“And now, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride,” the priest said.
I slowly approached Cathaliya and removed the veil from her face and kissed her on the lips. It was only interrupted when I heard the audience cheering. We both went to the reception together. We were in a car that I had brought earlier and the bodyguards followed so that I could be sure that my wife and I were both safe. I'm so happy and without hesitation that Cathaliya and I are married. When we arrived at the reception, I helped her get out of the car. And as we entered, we received congratulations and best wishes.
We ate first before dancing because now I felt very hungry. I enjoy seeing people so happy for both of us. The next day we thought about our honeymoon, we will go out of town to a beach resort, which is what my wife wants, so even if I wanted to take her to another country, I just gave in to her request, it's ugly if I don't agree. he has already packed his things. So in the afternoon, we took the car to the beach resort I bought. The flight was so long that it took us a long time to arrive and the darkness reached us on the way. When we passed a quiet area without a single house I wondered why the driver stopped as well as my bodyguards. I heard a lot of gunshots so I hid Cathaliya so she wouldn't get hit by a bullet.
"What happened?" I will ask.
"We were ambushed, sir. There are so many of them and we can't see where they are. Run away, save ma'am, we'll take care of it," said my bodyguard.
So I got out of the car while hugging my wife and we hid in the car and we're crawling to the safe space. I just shook my head because there was nothing I could do to help, I didn't even know how to shoot, I was so useless in this situation.
I let go of Cathaliya when someone shot at us so I went to the side and she was left on the side of the car hiding, I could hardly breathe when we were being shot and I saw her hit and lay down and I saw how she was chopped up shot by a masked man.
