My Bodyguard Knows My Secret
• 23 Chapter 23 •

After reaching my destination, I got out of the car and ran to my mother.

"Mother, I'm coming! I miss you so much!" - Shouted me

Like a cheerful little boy in general, I told my mother a lot. Brother Carel was standing not far away from me, he didn't want to disturb the time of the two of us. I even told you about what happened in the hallway, when I tried to kill my father. Anyone who heard this story would probably be horrified, but the reaction of the mother was certainly different from the others. Until it was not late at night, I decided to go home soon.

"Mother, thank you for hearing my story. I hope, mom is calm there. I Love You, Mom" - I said

The tears I had sustained from earlier finally spilled out as well, it felt like I wanted to stay here longer. I hugged a tombstone bearing the name of the mother there, father has never visited mother since mother left this world. Why are you leaving so soon?! I'm scared, mom! I was afraid that my father would treat me the way I used to because I was caught trying to kill my own father. I don't have the courage to defend myself.

"Sister, you're not going to kill me, are you? Father has promised me not to treat me well, father will keep his promise, right?!" - I asked

"Yes, Lyra. You take it easy, he loves Lyra very much. So there's no way your father would do such a cruel thing to you" Carel replied

We immediately left my mother's burial place and went home, my mother's death reminded me of an incident in which I had to keep my mouth shut.

During the trip, I stared blankly at the night streets. Carel occasionally glanced at me from the reflection of the glass.

"Just calm down, Lyra. I will protect you no matter what happens" - murmured Carel

It flashed through my mind about Alvaro, making me feel guilty when I remembered Andra who had hurt him. After arriving at the car park, I immediately got out of the car and walked into the building. I sped up my way to the infirmary, I finally got there and found Alvaro joking with some of the nurses who were inside.

"Tck! There's bullies. I'd better go back to the room" - I complained

Unfortunately Alvaro first realized my existence and waved one of his hands towards me, my intention to return to my room instantly disappeared. Alvaro called my name and asked me to come to him, the sick must be helped. With compulsion, I obeyed his small request and walked over to Alvaro. She asked me to sit on the edge of her bed, the nurses started walking away leaving us both in this infirmary. I came here to apologize to Alvaro for what I did to him, he looked at me and from the look on his face it was like knowing I wanted to talk to him.

"Alvaro, I'm sorry for hurting you" - I said

"It's not your fault, Lyra. It wasn't you who hurt her, it was Andra, right? Why do you have to apologize?" - asked

"Andra won't apologize to the person he has hurt, so I'm the one who will take his place to apologize to you. After all, when I accidentally stabbed you, it wasn't from Andra, but from myself. So it's my fault, I'm sorry" - I replied

"Ah, okay. I see, I've seen how cruel Andra is. I wonder, how can there be another soul in you?" - He asked

After hearing my answer, Alvaro seemed to be thinking about something. His forehead shriveled and occasionally massaged his temples, interspersed with small murmurs. Bugh! He hit his own head, his condition worries me. I patted one of his shoulders, he turned his head towards me.

"Hey, don't think about what I said. Forget it and rest!" - I said

I have given a burden of thought, the matter with which Andra is my responsibility. I won't let Alvaro interfere in my matters, we end up speaking a thousand languages. I didn't know what else to say to Alvaro and he just kept quiet thinking about something, I didn't know what he was thinking either. As if there was nothing more I should talk to him about, I immediately got up from the edge of the bed. The tep! But one of my hands was held back by Alvaro, I turned towards him.

"Wait a minute, Lyra. Can you tell me what happened to you? I know the old you, I've seen a lot of changes in you. What has happened as long as I am not with you?" - Tanya Alvaro

"It's none of your business, isn't it natural for someone to change? We don't even know about each other yet, so I choose to keep my mouth shut for now" - I replied coldly

Yes, I forgot that you forgot me...

Instantly the look on his face became gloomy, a bitter smile was etched on his lips. Oh no, I hurt her feelings. But I can't possibly tell a story of my past that I've longed to forget, even though I've managed to forget it as a child from my past. Suddenly she opened my sleeve and saw a few incisions there, I gasped. I immediately pulled the rough of my arm and immediately covered my incision wound, I rushed to the room and left Alvaro still frozen.

"Huh, Alvaro... What have you done?! My incision wounds remind me of my past while still with him" - I murmured

• ^Flashback On 'Back •

At that time, we were 9 years old. We had just come home from school, we were walking home through the shallow riverbank. One of my hands was holding a ring the size of an adult, I showed the ring to Lyra.

"Well, that's great. Where did you get that ring?" - asked Lyra

"I got it on the street when I left for school, I wanted to give this ring to mom. I'm sure you'll be happy!" - I replied

My face was beaming as I thought of the happy reaction of my mother and Lyra agreed with my suggestion, suddenly someone hit me hard enough that the ring in my hand was thrown into the river. I was surprised and immediately went down to the river followed by Lyra, fortunately this river is shallow. So we could still search for the whereabouts of the ring, we folded our two sleeves and began our search. We split up to find the missing ring. Shortly after, Lyra raised both of her hands.

"Alvaro, I found him!" - Shouted

I was so happy that the ring had been found, but I mis-focused on Lyra's arm. There were some scratches on the wound there, I was stunned to see it.
