Chapter 39: Not The First Time
Talia sat in front of the vanity in a daze for a long time.
"Will you come with me if I get that pouch from the bull’s horn?"
The young him asked with his face red due to sunburn that day. She went there to meet her old friend in that tropical country that time and he came for her. She begged him to not get near that bull. But in the end he did it anyway.
He got the pouch and got trampled under the bull after. Remembering that still brings shiver to her bones.
"I’m not going to give up on you... But I’ll let you do what you want... I’ll comeback for you..."
He said to her that day, under the shades of a century old banyan tree in the midst of a paddy field nine years ago.
And now he repeats those words!
His words only felt like a noose around her neck suffocating her.
Now what kind of trouble will he get himself into? What is he planning anyway? Why can’t he just leave me alone?
But I will push him away from my life!
Plus she felt her lower abdomen and back hurting a bit.
