Chapter 48: Battle Between Her Head And Heart
Arya couldn’t sleep. She had a lot running through her mind.
She grabbed her phone and called her mother to check their situation.
"Mom, how are things there?" She asked plainly.
"All well, dear. Reese will be discharged tomorrow. Rita has already settled everything. When are you coming back? She mentioned about your loan in their company when I asked her how you have managed to pay for everything. I plan to work, dear, once everything is well an..."
Arya interrupted her mom’s words and said, "Let’s talk about it later, Mom. Just focus on Reese right now. Did Rita mention something else?"
She had to be careful with her words since her phone was still wiretapped. Ryu did not have it removed to avoid suspicion from Rita’s side.
"Nothing except that she kept asking if we need anything. Why? Is there something wrong, dear?" Her mom asked with a worried tone.
"Nothing, Mom. it’s just that I can’t contact her today. Anyway, just don’t think too much. I have a great job here so don’t worry, okay? I have to go now. I love you. Kiss Reese for me. Bye." Arya said and hung up the phone.
It was her fifth day already on the island and still no call from Rita. She wasn’t sure if that was a good or a bad thing.
Once more, she felt her head was spinning. Although she wanted to place everything and all her trusts in Ryu, the truth was that she was still playing safe.
Though she was following her heart, for now, her mind was still leveling to jam her feelings.
