Love Worth Fighting For

Christian folds his arms across his chest. “At least I’m not as cruel as Robin Jones who has used girls to fight on the battlefield for his own sake,” Christian replies sarcastically, this time his words are much crueler than before.

And Zwetta , who had gotten used to Christian’s emotional outbursts, only smiled a little, after hearing Christian mocking Robin this time Zwetta looked calmer. She wasn’t as angry as before when the man had first badmouthed Robin. Not wanting to hear Christian’s chatter anymore, Zwetta then played his favorite song from her cell phone.

“I’m going to sleep for a while so I don’t want to distract from work...”

“Zee..”

“Good job!” Zwetta, who did not want to lose to Christian who had interrupted her words, immediately ended the conversation with congratulations on work.

Not wanting to let Zwetta out of his grip, Christian chooses to give in. He decided not to go on with his words and refocused on his work, now wasn’t the time to make trouble with Zwetta. Not when he is still looking for more about Robin Jones than his men who are already in New York, even though he already has Oliver Lee who is happy to provide all information about Robin, his former co-worker, Christian chooses to keep working alone by directly deploying one of the best people in America.

Seeing Zwetta not making any moves made Christian decide to continue his work, he had to finish the report that was waiting to be done. As long as Zwetta has been by his side for the past week, Christian’s diet has returned to normal as it was a year ago. His thin body has also started to fill up again, Zwetta’s hospital when he suddenly became unconscious after being hit by a motorbike made him have his appetite again. This week has truly been the best week of Christian’s life for the past year. Everything was so calm, as if he was free from the problems that had been suffocating him.

Zwetta is like a light in the darkness that surrounds him and Christian wants to make sure he doesn’t lose that light again, like he lost to Elena before.

.....

Christian’s concentration, who was focused on his work, was disturbed by an incoming call from his father. After almost two weeks of leaving Geneva, this was the first time his father had contacted him. Even though he is still angry with his parents, Christian still accepts the call.

“Hello...”

“Christ, this is Mommy.”Anne sounded so hoarse on the other end.

Even though he didn’t see his mother directly, Christian was sure that his mother was currently crying.

“Yes, Mom,” Christian replies quietly and calmly.

“Luna, how is she, Christ? Mommy misses her so much, Mommy really wants to hug her, touch her beautiful face and...”

“Luna is good, doctor Kimmy is doing a good job. All we need to do now is wait for the donor to be available, once everything is ready Then the operation can be carried out as soon as possible.” Christian, who doesn’t want to get carried away because of his mother’s words, chooses to directly explain Luna’s condition; what Christian said is true. Luna’s condition is currently improving and his decision to keep Luna in the hospital is correct. Everything went according to expectations.

Anne sobbed, hearing the happy news made her chest which felt so tight it felt a little relieved. She seemed so grateful for the news she had just heard.

“Mommy and Daddy don’t need to worry, I’m not a kid to worry about all the time because it’s too late.”

“Christ!” Jack, who was by Anne’s side immediately reacted quickly, because Anne activated the loudspeaker of her cellphone so that Jack could hear Christian and Anne’s conversation from the start.

Hearing his father’s voice giving him a warning made Christian smile a little, his disappointment with his parents was still very big and Christian still couldn’t be nice to his parents.

“Since I’ve explained Luna’s condition, I’ll end this conversation immediately. I’m currently in a race against time to finish my work, so have a good day.” Without waiting for a response from his father and mother, Christian immediately hung up the phone.

Christian, trying to keep himself from burning with emotion, takes a deep breath. Although in fact everything that happened was not entirely the fault of his parents, but both of his parents had a big hand in what happened to him. That’s why Christian still can’t be nice to his parents. After feeling calm, Christian then returns to focus on the files that have been lined up neatly in front of his eyes.

From the sofa where she was sitting, Zwetta, who had not really slept, frowned when she heard Christian’s words. Her heart beats very fast at this moment when she hears the name ‘Luna’ coming from Christian’s lips. After the photo of the baby’s very small feet on Christian’s cell phone that she accidentally saw a few days ago, now Zwetta looks so uneasy when she hears the name ‘Luna’ which Christian mentions several times.

“What’s wrong with me? Why am I so curious about this man’s life?”

“Your job is temporary, Zee. After the assistant returns to work, you can return to your old job...so stop your curiosity if you don’t want to get hurt.”

The black and white side of Zwetta spoke in unison inside Zwetta at this time, Zwetta who was being confused with everything she had been doing for the past few weeks was becoming increasingly confused with herself. Zwetta even still can’t believe her decision to accept Christian Clarke’s offer to be his bodyguard, everything is completely beyond the plans she has made since she was still in New York.

If yesterday it was Elena Wilson’s name that kept bothering her, now there is one more name that makes her nervous. ‘Luna’ is Luna one of Christian Clarke’s other women? How pretty is that girl’s face? Did the girl have the same facial features as Elena Wilson or not? What’s so special about their relationship?

Various unclear questions again tempt Zwetta to immediately leave the dream world that almost hugs her body that is so tired, not doing risky work as usual makes Zwetta’s stiff.

“Come on, Zee. You need to sleep, get rid of all these fuzzy thoughts that are bothering you.”
