Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 49

49 The day

Areez is still Areez, even though he allowed Suri to leave his mansion when they were in the art gallery as at this time he brought along dozens of personal bodyguards who were ready to guard Suri from any unwanted situation. Suri who was initially so excited began to worry when she realized the presence of dozens of big men nearby, Suri worried that she would not be able to carry out her plan. However, after seeing the many people in the gallery, Suri’s confidence returned, she was very confident that she could carry out all the well-laid plans.

“Come on in,” Areez said softly, interrupting Suri’s thoughts.

Suri suddenly grabbed Areez’s arm tightly.

Areez, who was ready to take a step, was startled when he felt Suri’s touch on his arm. “What’s wrong, Mira?” Areez asked in a soft voice.

Suri, who had put on a pitiful face, immediately glanced at the crowd of people who were not far from where they were. “Why is this place so crowded?”

“It’s the weekend, Mira. It’s natural that an art gallery like this is full, many parents take their children to this place,” Aldrich answered quickly before Areez opened his lips.

Suri’s attention from Areez immediately turned to Aldrich. “Is that usually the case?”

Areez who realized Suri’s concern immediately wrapped his arms around Suri’s waist which immediately made Suri tiptoe in surprise, but she still didn’t do anything because Areez’s embrace on her body was so strong. “Don’t be afraid, I won’t let you go.”

“Areez... let go, this is in a public place,” Suri whispered hoarsely.

.....

Arees smiled. “Don’t worry, they won’t care about us.”

“But...”

“Yeah, let’s go in,” said Aldrich, cutting Suri’s words with a wide smile on his face. “You’re not going to continue standing here, are you?”

“Of course not,” Areez said curtly. “You spoil the mood.”

Aldrich, who was having fun teasing Areez, looked so happy to see his best friend getting closer to Suri, after years of being alone due to the betrayal of his previous lover, Aldrich felt sorry for his friend. Therefore, when Areez told him that Suri’s attitude had changed, Aldrich was also happy for his friend.

Because Aldrich had entered the gallery first, Areez then invited Suri to follow him. With Areez’s hands on her waist, Suri actually feels uncomfortable walking, but because Suri is currently on a mission she finally tries to hold back her discomfort deeply to find the best gap in carrying out her next plan.

As she walked into the busy gallery, Suri kept trying to read the situation and opportunities. Suri’s attention was focused on the women’s toilet which was not far from where she was currently standing.

“A bunch of teenagers,” said Suri in her heart. “If I ask them for help it will be easier, but the risk is big. They will definitely ask for a big reward from me too. Oh God..help me, I’ve come this far. I can’t fail, I must be able to send an email to my brother or Daddy.”

Suri who was lost in her own thoughts ignored Areez’s words who were explaining the painting in front of them right now, Areez herself also didn’t realize that Suri was not staring in the opposite direction from her because of that she continued to talk excitedly until she finally realized that Suri not looking at the painting in front of them.

“Mira...”

Suri gasped, she immediately turned her face back to Areez. “Yes.”

“What are you looking at?” Areez asked quietly.

Suri shook her head. “No, I didn’t see anything.”

Areez, who couldn’t believe it then turned his head, looking at the direction Suri had seen before. His eyes narrowed when he saw the place that had caught Suri’s attention earlier.

“You want to go to the toilet?” Areez asked again.

“Toilet? Why am I going to... ah yes, yes I want to go to the toilet.” Suri immediately corrected her mistake when she realized that Areez had misjudged.

Areez smiled a little. “Mira..Mira.. you don’t need to be ashamed of me, if you really want to go to the toilet you can just tell me.”

“Can I go to the toilet?” asked Suri, fishing for Areez.

“I’ll be punished if I forbid someone to go to the toilet, Mira,” Areez replied with a smile. “Go if you want to go to the toilet.”

Suri didn’t leave right away, she was still standing where she was not breaking her eye contact with Areez.

“What else, hm?” Areez returned to speaking softly as usual.

“You’re not accompanying me?” Suri asked quietly, trying to read what Areez was thinking right now.

“No, you will be guarded by my guards. Don’t worry, they will be guarding in front of the toilet.”

Suri shook her head quickly. “No, if they wait too close in front of the toilet the other visitors will be disturbed.”

“I’ll make sure they stay at a safe distance, Mira. Don’t worry,” Areez said, full of promise with a smile that never left his handsome face.

“Okay, but...”

Areez raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t ask me to be on guard too, did you?”

Suri angrily threw a punch at Areez’s chest. “You pervert, I was wondering if you have any new toilet paper? I..I don’t feel comfortable sharing the same tissue with those people.”

“Toilet paper? How could I bring such a tissue, Mira.”

Suri immediately put on a sad face. “But I can’t use the same tissue as them, Areez. I’m used to using wipes for myself and it’s your fault.”

“My fault?”

“It’s your fault!” replied Suri curtly. “You’ve gotten used to me getting all those comforts, so if I feel anxious when using public facilities it’s because of you.”

Areez blinked his eyes, trying to digest the sentence Suri just said. ‘He said it was because he was used to it.’

“How about this, Areez. I really have to go to the toilet,” said Suri again, trying to keep pressing Areez who was starting to get off guard.

“So what should I do? I didn’t bring a tissue to...”

“Buy one for me then.” Boom, Suri went straight to the core. The long-awaited sentence finally escaped Areez’s lips.

Areez frowned, trying to digest Suri’s sentence quickly until she finally understood what Suri was saying. Immediately Areez took out his wallet from his pocket and prepared to call one of his men if Suri didn’t stop him immediately by landing his curly, well-groomed fingers on his hand.

“Mira...”

“No, don’t order your men to find the tissue for me. I want you to buy it yourself,” said Suri quickly, as quickly as she changed her facial expression to get Areez’s pity. “I’d be embarrassed if someone else bought the tissue.”

“But I don’t know where to buy it, Mira,” Areez answered hoarsely, Areez’s heart beating so fast at this moment. The touch after touch that Suri pressed against his skin tore apart Areez’s cold heart.

Suri immediately put on a disappointed face, having studied psychology made Suri very clever if she had to change her facial expression in an instant and Suri’s ability was almost lost when Suri was so hard on Areez. Suri forgot that dealing with mentally ill people like Areez had to be gentle, the way she is currently running.

“Mira,” Areez breathed softly. “Don’t give me this face, I can’t see it.”

Suri raised her eyes to look at Areez’s face again. “So what? Do I need to hold it back until I get home?”

Bingo!

That sharp question immediately made Areez panicked and Suri could clearly see how messed up Areez was because of her words.

“No, you can’t hold it in. That’s not good, Mira. It’s dangerous,” Areez said quickly without pause.

“So what? I can’t use the same tissue as them, especially now that there are so many visitors here. I don’t know how many germs are left on those wipes if I use them to clean my feminine area.” Suri deliberately mentions personal things to further suppress Areez mentally, Suri deliberately uses her body to make Areez crazier and the plan works. Areez really almost lost his sanity when he heard Suri mention germs and her feminine area. Oh man.

“Ok, I’ll buy it myself. But you promised me not to go anywhere, don’t tarnish my trust in you, Mira.” Areez immediately gripped the two peaks of Suri firmly.

Like a child who was promised her favorite toy, Suri nodded her head quickly. His eyes also showed the seriousness of the promise he had just made through his body movements.

“Good girl,” Areez said softly and Areez unexpectedly landed a kiss on Suri’s forehead.

Suri, who did not expect to get a kiss, could only be silent because it was too late to escape. Before she could protest, Suri was again surprised by Areez who immediately ran towards the exit followed by two of her personal guards who also ran, trying to close the distance with Areez.

When Suri was still rooted to her place, suddenly four Areez bodyguards came to her.

“Miss...”

“Oh yes,” Suri stuttered. “I..I need to go to the toilet, you guys can take care of me outside.”

“Yes, Miss,” the four big men answered at the same time.

Suri who couldn’t wait to act immediately walked quickly to the women’s toilet which was not far from her, her hands immediately felt cold because of nervousness. All Suri had to do now was find someone who would lend her a cell phone. Suri intends to email her father or brother to let them know that she is in Auckland.

“We will be on guard here, Miss,” said one of Areez’s bodyguards, slowly startling Suri who was looking for a way to ask for help from one of the people who were gathered in the toilet in front of her.

“Y..yes,” replied Suri nervously.

Realizing that she was in a race against time, Suri then quickened her steps towards the toilet. Suri must successfully carry out her plan in this rare opportunity before Areez returns.

“Help me God, help me get back together with my family.” Suri kept repeating the same sentence over and over again as she got closer to the toilet, the place where she would ask for help from people she didn’t know at all. Suri really bet her luck today.

“Excuse me...
