SACRED LOVE : 55 2/2
Folding his sleeves, his eyes never left the guy’s filthy gaze which was not leaving Cia. Body shaking vigorously, she didn’t look fine between the woman who tried to make her feel safer but as his face leaned closer and took a bite of an apple against her ear, she flinched within her feet taking a step back. Not even glancing at the guy, she tried to ignore him when the view of Zal met his eyes. The smirk on his lips left for a second as Zal’s sharp glare made him avert his gaze away from the young girl. As he ignored Zal who looked at him as if he could rip him into pieces right then and there, his intentions of teasing Cia intensified as he reached her to grab a hold of her hand.
Cia’s hand was held and It’s none other than her Fiance, Zal. Her eyes averted into his eyes. “Z-Zal..” His heavy breath fanning her lips made her blink, feeling her heart skip beats when his eyes that held such anger completely turned to the guy who stood there with his hand backing away. Taking a bite, he glanced at her and then him. Hand gently holding hers, he stepped in front of her making the guy who scooted closer step back. Fingers intertwined with hers, her eyes shot up to look at his sharp jaw that reflected the sun shine making her bink away from his jaw to look at his hand. Sweat forming, she wiped the sweat off her neck harshly, not aware if it is due to the heating up atmosphere or the anxiety that started to reach its peak level. Realizing at once, she looked around hesitantly to see a bunch of people and their eyes right on her. Some looked at her in jealousy and some looked in pity. As another hand which had cold and sweaty fingertips clutched his shirt, his eyes didn’t give a glance but he could sense she is more than weak and she needs immediate support to stand straight. Feeling warmth of his back against her face, she didn’t know what came over her and soon, she pulled his shirt. “Z-Zal.. L-Let-” The woman beside was pushed aside and soon, Mrs. Tun stepped in front and took her by her shoulders. “You are thirsty, aren’t you?” As her hurried steps forced Cia to take steps to pick up the woman’s pace, her body almost dropped when the woman held both of her shoulders gently. Looking around the fruit market, she dragged Cia out of there before closing the doors of the entrance. As a guy tried to enter, The woman spoke without sparing a glance. “You better not if you have weak muscles, thin head.” Her sudden cusses made him gulp while his hand froze and Mrs. Tun continued to take her out of the Market’s sight. “Let’s get you hydrated, Young lady!” Eyes landing on a cafe, Mrs. Tun sighed aloud.

His gaze didn’t leave him as he clenched his jaw. “What? You gonna hit me?” He smirked, making Zal smirk back. His gaze was stronger than the earthquake that can break the world into two in a moment of time. Looking down at his hand, he wrapped the cloth around his knuckles making the guy raise his eyebrow. “Woah, Now what? You are a boxer?” he smugly mumbled before Zal glanced up at him. “Is it for my jaw right here?” Zal pulled his sleeves once again while the young guys who actually teased his blushy face a while ago stood up with their eyes glancing at each other. “ Oh, This for your fxcking tiny dxck.” Pair of “Oooooo” Screaming voices echoed around and the young guys who stood kept their hand against their mouth to suppress the laugh but as one of them almost laughed, The gaze of the provoked pervert fell on rhythm before he grit his teeth. “You motherfxc-” His jaw flew aside as the body of his flew in the air before his cheek rashed onto the floor with such heavy force that few teeth landed on the floor before he coughed hard. Holding the wrench in his hand, Zal stood where he was making the crowd cheer aloud. Sitting up, he coughed hard before his hand held multiple teeth he lost in swift of movement. Anger built up in him as he screamed aloud in anger while he ran towards Zal. “A-Argh! F-Fxck Argghhhhhh!!!!!!” Fingers twisted backward, Zal tilted his head within his glare deepening. As his hand dropped the wrench, the young guys weren't ready for the loud punch which left the crowd speechless and the guy who almost screamed in utter anger had now fallen unconscious. As his body lay unconscious for a few seconds, A coughy gasp left the guy’s lips before his eyes widened and the orbs almost balled out in fear when he tried to get up. “You dare to harass girls again, we fxck you up!” One of the guy’s gang screamed, making them close his mouth in an instant. As he watched people run behind the guy, Zal immediately turned around and ran out of there within his eyes widening in realization that Cia is nowhere near to be found. Looking around, he ran towards the other side of the streets before cursing under his breath. “Fxck! Where are you, woman?” he checked his wrist as if he wore a watch before realizing he didn’t. Annoyed, he groaned under his breath until a loud yet breaking voice called his name from afar. Turning his head to every corner, his eyes finally found her. Teary eyes, back bent almost as if she was weaker than a delicate flower. With her blck silky hair untied, she looked too unreal and his eyes almost got teary for no reason as his feet led himself towards her. His gaze that had already turned soft slowly turned cold when his eyes fell on Mrs. Tun who was gazing at her with such an intense gaze. Steps fastening, he immediately slammed the entrance door open. As Cia’s lips turned into a small faint smile, she was soon pulled to stand up. “What are you doing here?” he mumbled and the tone against her ear sounded so aggressive that her eyes didn’t dare to look in his eyes but at his face. Looking back at the old woman who sat there, he looked at Cia before dragging her out of there. Hurrying steps heaved when Mrs. Tun tried to speak with cia. As he paused in his own tracks, he turned towards her. “Please, Don’t.” He mumbled making the old woman freeze with her eyes looking into his. Breaking the eye-contact, he immediately pulled cia to get out of there. “W-w-w-wait-” Breathy voice fanned her lips as he turned himself around and pulled her wrist to make her stand on her toes. Eyes wide, she felt her heartbeat accelerate the second what Zal spoke reached her ears.
“You walk or I will take you to the car on my own.”
