Hearing a loud bang from the door, Michaela immediately put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
"Rush! What are you doing to my door?" Michaela's eyes were round looking at the door of her room that had been broken.
"Who told you to ignore me. I won't let this man touch you."
Arka immediately stepped in and approached Michaela.
"Basic boy! What do you think I'm gonna do to her, huh? I was just treating his back and the rest, he did it himself. I also know the limits," Julian replied resentfully with Arka's childish and possessive attitude.
"You want your back, legs, or fingers, only I can touch them!". Gave a sharp look at Julian and stepped toward Michaela.
The face of Arka instantly turned soft. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There!" michela replied firmly.
"What?" Arka's face immediately showed her smile. Michaela chose him over Julian.
"I want my bedroom door back to how it was!"
After that Michaela immediately walked back to the bathroom and closed it. Arka's face was immediately pias because of his hope of helping Michaela smear the medicine disappeared.
A satisfied laughter greeted Arka's ears, and she knew very well where the source of the sound was.
"Why laugh?" Arka stared intently at Julian who seemed to be enjoying a scene where he had to obey Michaela.
"You should know, there are times when he is so stubborn and fierce as before. Don't think she's a weak woman."
"I don't think he's weak. I just want her to feel like she needs me, not to find someone who claims to be a friend, but is attracted to her."
"I? Seriously? Michaela didn't tell you about me?"
"She said, just seeing you being too considerate, I can't believe it. Who knows it's just your cover so that Michaela doesn't feel like all your attention has something else to say."
"Just mind Arka. Just so you know, what Mikaela needs is not a snot boy who is always jealous of those around him. He needs someone who can really let go of that bastard you called big brother!"
Arka. He knew Julian's words were true. He must stop the gods. During this time, he had not obtained complete information regarding the relationship of Michaela and the Gods. What Arka had suspected all this time, Michaela loved God so much that she was willing to survive even though God had married.
And it turned out, all this time Michaela had been suffering before her eyes. Arka should have immediately taken Michaela from the Gods when the Gods were married, but, Arka had not managed to negotiate with her father.
"Listen, Arka." Julian walked up and stood in front of Arka. "If you're not sure you can protect her from your sister, you better leave her now. Don't give him false hope and make him suffer even more."
"I'll protect her from my sister. I'll marry her and if I have to, I'll take her away from here."
"Are you sure you can fight your brother? You haven't even graduated High School. And I don't know what's in your brain until you want to marry her at this age."
"I've wanted to marry her since I was 5."
Julian quickly turned his head back towards Arka, having previously looked towards Michaela's room.
"I clearly still remember her, but it seems I didn't leave any impression on her." Arka smiled bitterly. Initially, Arka hoped that Michaela would recognize her as if she could instantly recognize Michaela.
It would be a great pleasure if Michaela recognized the little boy she had saved her life once. A boy whose life is almost over if an angel doesn't come to his aid.
"Who are you, Arka? Mikaela never mentioned you when telling her past. There's nothing special about making someone want to marry her since childhood."
"He saved my life." Arka stared in the direction of Michaela's room. "I've never forgotten him since then. I always followed him until my vacation was over and I had to go back to America."
"From childhood you do have bad habits as it turns out." Julian laughing. He remembered how Arka's behavior was quite troublesome at school.
"I don't know what your plan is to protect her, but if you fail, I'll take her away from you myself. And don't expect you to see him again."
Julian stepped towards the exit. Before he opened the door, he turned towards Arka. "For now, I choose to trust you. I'll be home, but I'll be back to see it. I hope, what I find today, will be the last time."
Julian opened the door and walked out of Michaela's apartment.
Arka will prove his point to protect Michaela. He held the weakness of the Gods, but he was not sure if the Gods would be that easy to remove from Michaela's life.
"Where's Juls going?"
Arka took a breath hearing the name. "Julian, Micah. Name's Julian. Don't call her by calling her too familiar."
"CK! Is that still a problem? I told you Julian and I were nothing."
Arka chose not to listen to Michaela's explanation and instead drew Michaela to sit on her lap.
Michaela, unprepared for Arka's increasingly friendly attitude, immediately pushed her body away and Michaela almost fell to the floor if Arka had not pulled her.
"Sit down well here. I'm your future husband, why should you be ashamed?" Arka developed her smile. Honestly speaking, Arka's face looked extremely handsome from this close distance and Michaela admitted it inwardly, which further made her misbehave
"It's weird, Arka! I'm not ordinary."
"Then start getting used to yourself, because I'm a very spoiled man and always want to be close to the people I love."
Those stark words made Michaela even more uncomfortable.
Before him was a boy who had not graduated High School and was his own student. Hearing him talk about love and marriage felt like it really could not be Michaela a natural thing.
Arka did not seem to care about Michaela's arrogance. He hugged Michaela's body, which was still in his lap, and placed his forehead on Michaela's shoulder.
"I'll make you happy, Micah. I'm not gonna let him touch you again.* Arka lifted her head and looked at Michaela with a look of regret. "I'm sorry I came so late. I should have been there to protect you."
Arka again hugged Michaela's body which did not respond. Arka doesn't care. Although it was currently only Michaela's presence that he had, he would change it. One day, Arka will have Michaela's heart, no matter how long it takes, Arka will wait.
