ZARYA’S POVContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“What about your informer?” Hali gazed at Froy. They were on the table, planning to bring down the enemies, the ones who had been beaten by Hali at the Light House, the three sons of Mafia Bosses. They were still chasing Hali because of Kastrid even if Kastrid had now died, buried under the ground.
“They are dangerous people. If you want to pull them down, you need to sell your soul.” Froy shrugged his shoulder. He leaned his hands on the table. Khal was in front of them, watching and hearing their conversation. Hali was also sitting opposite the table while his feet were resting on top of it.
“You don’t believe me, aren’t you?” Hali had a smirk on his lips.
“It’s not that. It’s just… these people are the sons of Satan. They do not easily die and they have disciples who are good at killing. One wrong move and we’ll be a skeleton.” Froy recklessly stops his body to sit next to Khal.
“You escaped all of the subjects except Science.” Khal had a gentle joke to his friend.
“You know how much I love Science, especially studying the parts of pussy.” Froy chuckled kiddingly. I just grinned at them. When my eyes landed on Hali, he was too serious, looking at the window. Is he thinking of Kastrid again? Or the plan?
“Zarya?” He called me.
My two eyebrows went up. “Yes?”
“You have something to do.” He wrote something on the paper. “You’ll go to their company and seduce一”
“Are you serious, Hali? They are dangerous people.” Khal stood up automatically. The sound of the chair moving could be heard. “You can’t gamble Zarya’s life.”
“It’s not of your business.” Hali galred at him. The tension was formed between us.
“It’s okay.” I talked with a smile on my lips when the tension was getting severe. I understand why Hali was feeding me to them. I was under training and experiences might help.
“No,” Khal emphasized that word. He settled his eyes at Hali and then looked at me. “He can’t request for you like that.” His eyes went back to Hali. “What if Zarya got abused in there? You don’t know those people.” Khal was still calm, but Hali was like a volcano that would anytime explode.
“You don’t know Zarya either, so don’t the fucking act as if you care!” Hali was now being a mad king again. I hated when friends were fighting because of me.
“I’m fine, really.” I held Khal’s hand and pulled him down to sit again.
“Don’t let him treat you like trash. You’re human, not anyone’s toy.” Khal glared at Hali. However, Hali was too rude to lose the battle of glaring therefore he galred at him back.
“Seriously? Fighting isn’t the option, right? Buddies are buddies?” Froy interrupted them. He went to me and asked. “Is that okay with you? If not, then, we’ll bring others to the mission.”
“That’s fine,” I answered faster. I glanced at Khal. He was shaking his head from left to right saying I should say ‘no.’
“Don’t be anxious about Zarya. She won’t die early.” Hali looked at me for so long. He knew I had something to do before I die and that was avenging. He was right. I would not be murdered not in time.
“So what’s the plan?” A smile on my lips formed. He told me everything that I had to know, the advantage and disadvantages, the harm and the goodness. It was a big mission and I should not fail. This was for the safety of everyone. Actually, they had not found so much information about them, but if I would going to invade their company, I would learn a lot.
“I have a problem.” They all looked at me. “I just finished college. I don’t have certificates or diplomas.”
“That’s easy,” Froy smirked at me. “No problem. What else?”
“She looks ordinary woman. Not so attractive.” Hali grinned at me, gazing from my feet to my face. “Not so special.”
“I can do make-up.” I winked at him.
“No. They’ll do make up. Go upstairs, choose any good clothes and go back here. We’re going out.” Hali commanded. I nodded slightly, walked away, and went to the room. This house was for the boys therefore there were no things for girls. Hali should buy me one.
“Excited?”
I looked at my back when I heard Hali. He dropped his body on the bed, making it bounce up and down.
“I missed going around in the Human World.” The happiness in my chest was reflected on my face. I could not hide it. Since I became Hali’s bedmate, I felt so sad, a little thing made me glad.
“When do you want to go, then?”
I froze when he asked me. Was that serious? I examined the spark of his emotion. It was nothing. He was just staring at the ceiling while his arms served as his pillow. He was laying on the bed.
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear my question?” He moved his head to the right to where I was located.
“I just… want to go with the park where we used to go and then to our old house.”
“We’ll go there, then.”
I smiled sadly. “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to.”
After a conversation, I continued finding clothes where. Afterward, we traveled to the parlor where they would do overall makeup for me.
“Would I be pretty after this?” I asked Hali when I was walking towards the black ladies’ chair.
“Maybe, maybe not.” Hali raised the corner of his lips and then he mocked me.
I moved my head up, including my eyebrows. “If I get pretty. Your saliva will spill from your mouth.”
“As if.” He chuckled mockingly as he turned his back and went to the waiting area.
“You’re gonna see!” I shouted at him before the make-over finally began.
It was torture in waxing the mustache, my hair all over the body excluding the hair in the head of course, but they also did curling my hair. When my father and mother were still alive, I could not afford this kind of luxury. We were not rich, the money that my father gained was just enough for our tuition and house expenses.
When it was done, I looked in the mirror. My mouth moved barely as I was mazed by my features.
“Is that me?” I pointed at myself. I was beautiful without make up, my confidence was level 101, however, I was more beautiful with my make up. I could feel the overloading elated into my chest. This simple thing made my day complete.
I stood up straight, the black fitted body con was exposing my curves. I blinked two times as I remembered my father. I sniffed and sniffed to avoid sobbing. He once said, “You look like your mother. Always gorgeous.”
Papa, your girl has already grown up. I hope you were here to see me. You were right, I looked like mama.
“Zarya, isn’t it done? We’ll have another agenda for一” Hali’s words stopped when I looked at my back to see him. He stared at me for so long. “Wow.” He whispered as if he could not believe what he was saying.
I gave him a small smile. He walked towards me, wrapped his arms to my lips. “I was never seen as beautiful as you.”
I heard the thrilling sound of the ladies at the parlor. He was acting like a boyfriend.
