Not The End Of The World
Not The End Of The World
"Where is Arya?" He shouted at all his men, waiting for him to wake up.
Chen was the one who answered to him, "Sir, we do not know yet. Our men are still looking for her. We found you alone, asleep, on the couch. The guards on the post outside were both knocked out. We quickly transferred you to the hospital and brought you here after the doctor confirmed that you are fine and were only drugged with a sleeping pill."
Chen's heart was beating very fast while he looked at his CEO's dark face. He was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
Ryu did not say a word and smashed all the things near him in frustration.
His men did not know what to do as they looked at each other, terrified.
Chen released a deep, long, sigh. He was not sure if he should continue reporting how they had also lost track of Arya's dad.
The enemy's plan was well arranged and well-executed. All the things were executed very smoothly, making it hard for them to find even the traces of their whereabouts.
This was not just a simple game, whoever it was, was definitely declaring a was against their CEO.
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw their CEO punch the table several times and blood started dripping from his hands.
He quickly moved together with other men to hold their Boss down and stop him from injuring himself any further.
"What are you doing? Let go of me! You are all useless!!!" Ryu shouted angrily.
'And I am the most useless of all!' He cursed himself silently. That day, he realized how powerless he was.
When Butler Omni arrived, he saw his child in an indescribable state.
Ryu's wide shoulders were bent down, with a sullen look on his face, bloodshot eyes, and heartache written all over his frame. He looked like someone who had just lost a loved one. It broke Butler Omni's heart when he witnessed his dear child in such a poor and heartbroken state.
This was the first time he saw him in such a state.
The doctor was rolling a bandage on Ryu's hand.
He sighed and asked Chen who stood beside him. "How is he?"
Chen shook his head and answered, "It took us thirty minutes to calm him down."
"Madam Arya has left beside him a diary, written by her. Now, I am not sure if I should give it to him or not." Chen said sighing deeply. He did not dare to look at what was written inside, but he was sure it was for their CEO.
"Hand it to me, I will talk to him. After the doctor is done, all of you go out and leave the two of us alone." Butler Omni instructed.
Chen nodded in agreement. Then he signaled the rest of the people in the room, including the doctor, to go out. He walked towards Arya's room where he had put the diary and brought it to Butler Omni before leaving the room.
Butler Omni inhaled and exhaled loudly before walking towards Ryu who was sitting still and quiet.
"Son, I think you need to read this first. According to Chen, this was found at the table beside you. It's probably from Arya." Butler Omni said. However, Ryu seemed to still be out of himself.
He sighed once more before saying, "Everything will pass soon, son. Be strong. It's not the end of the world for you yet."
Then he placed Arya's diary on Ryu's lap before he left him alone.
Ryu glared at the diary on his lap for more than five minutes and finally, decided to pick it up and read.
He opened the last page and started reading.
Hi Ryu, you are probably wondering why I would even bother to leave a diary behind?
That's because I want you to forget all that happened between us and go on with your life like before.
I am a very bad person, right?
I've played with your emotions and left you drugged. That's why I told you several times not to fall for me.
I bet you are reading the last page directly, am I right? That's what I thought.
If you feel like not reading it, that's okay. I can understand you.
I just hope you won't hate me too much for not staying beside you.
If you only knew how much I really want to stay with you, but it's a very difficult situation for me. I can not risk my whole family for the sake of our relationship.
Yeah, I know I am a coward. It's not that I don't trust you, but I am really scared. Scared to lose my dad again... scared to lose my sister and my mother.
I know you are a strong person.
You have always been a strong-willed man.
So please ... for the sake of the good time we have spent together... don't let a woman become your weakness.
You were fine without knowing me in the first place… I wish you remain good without me being with you again...
So just think of it as having a nightmare, a bad dream you had. Erase everything from your memory.
Forget me, Ryu....and live on....the way you lived a few weeks ago...
Ryu could no longer continue reading and abruptly closed the diary.
"Do you really think you can get away that easily from me, huh?" Ryu murmured with an aggrieved tone.
-----------------------
Outside, Butler Omni saw Chen who was leaning on the wall of the hallway.
The latter informed him all that had happened. They both shared the same thoughts.
Ryu Ken needed the Old Master's help if he wanted to get back to the person behind everything.
"Do you know when Young Master Dean will return?" Chen suddenly asked.
Though quite surprised, Butler Omni still answered. "He will return tomorrow. The Old Master has summoned him to report to him tomorrow."
Dean was Ryu's cousin, but they grew up like real brothers. He just hoped that Second Young Master Dean would return the soonest since he was the only one who could possibly help Ryu to recuperate from this condition.
He suddenly thought about Ryu's parents and shook his head. It's better to leave them out of the picture on this matter because they might make the situation even worse.
