“Stop pulling my hair!” Blue raised her hand in warning. As her claws came out from her fingers, she glared at Gael furiously because this annoying man kept pulling her hair and bugging her for an answer.

“Do you like someone? Is there a boy that you like?” Gael felt very happy upon watching blue get upset because he found out that she asked Anna to prepare two lunch boxes for her tomorrow. She said her friend didn’t have money to buy a meal.

“Shut up!” Blue tried to claw Gael, but the man simply disappeared from his spot and appeared in a different part of this kitchen, laughing.

“No claws girl, no claws,” he reminded her between his laughs.

If Anna was nearby, Gael would be scolded by the old lady. But unfortunately for Blue, he found the right timing to tease her.

“Who is that boy? Don’t you think you are too young?” Gael appeared behind Blue and tousled her hair, but when she turned around, he had disappeared again.

.....

“You are annoying!” Blue yelled at Gael. She found him sitting on the barstool. “I don’t want to talk to you!”

Since she knew she wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on Gael, as he held a mysterious power, Blue chose to walk out of the kitchen and went to find comfort from Anna.

It was better to hear her continue that story.

Meanwhile, Gael’s laugh died down when he saw someone calling his phone. He was the person in charge to protect Lise when she went to meet her sister.

“What is it?” Gael’s expression changed immediately as he talked to this man. His tone became cold as the joy he radiated earlier disappeared into thin air.

The man informed him that they had arrived at home safely and now Lise was in her room, probably had fallen asleep, but there was additional information.

“A test pack?” Gael repeated his words when the man told him that Trisha bought something for Lise.

===================

Blue entered Anna’s room, while hugging her teddy bear. She had been sleeping in her room for the past two days to hear the story about the little girl that was saved by the God of destruction.

The little girl was an orphan and the God of destruction found her almost dead because a bunch of people beat her up after they found out that she stole something from their shop.

The little girl was left all alone in an empty alley for hours and when the night came with heavy rain pouring down the earth, and the little girl almost lost her consciousness, the God of Destruction finally came to her.

She thought she was seeing the angel of death, that she wouldn’t survive and her pain would end right there and then.

Death is not as scary as you think, but life is. And the little girl learned it the hard way.

“What happened after that?” Blue asked Anna, letting the old woman braid her white hair before they went to sleep. “How did he cure the little girl? He is the destruction himself, right?”

“Yes, he is,” Anna replied. “But, there will always be something good in bad and also the other way around. The God of destruction could bring calamity, but he is also able to make it go away.”

“If he could do that, he could stop destruction too, right?” Blue raised her head to look at Anna, looking for an answer in her expression.

The old woman laughed softly. “It’s not that simple, there are always consequences and rules for everything, you can’t do everything you want just because you can without bearing the aftermath.”

Blue furrowed her brows, she couldn’t say that she understood that concept, but she wanted to know what happened to the little girl.

“He took the little girl in, like he did with one of the pieces of his shattered soul?”

“Yes.”

“So, the little girl and the man and the God of destruction lived together?”

“Yes.”

“And then what happened?”

“The little girl grew up and then fell in love with the man that saved her life.”

“The God of destruction?”

“Yes.”

“Did he love her back?”

“The only thing that is close to the definition of love for him are the feelings that he has for his little companion, the white wolf. He knows nothing about other feelings.”

Blue lowered her head, she contemplated for a while. “That’s so sad. The little girl must be sad.”

“Yes, she is very sad.”

“And then, what happened to her?” Anna was done with her hair and Blue turned around to see her expression, she was smiling, but there was sadness in her eyes.

“She chose to stay with him.” Anna arranged the pillows for both of them and covered Blue with a blanket. “Even though she knows that she will grow old and die, while he will stay the same until the end.”

==================

Lise woke up when the sun shone brightly, and felt her whole body hurt, as if she had just run a marathon without stopping.

But, her sleepiness immediately disappeared when she found Gael sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, his expression solemn.

How long had he been there? Lise became tense when he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles gently.

“Why are you here?” Her voice cracked while her heart thumped so fast. She couldn’t hide her anxiety and disgust at being touched by him.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Gael asked, his voice hoarse, as he stared at Lise deeply.

“What?” Lise swallowed hard when she heard that. “What didn’t I tell you?” She kept a few secrets from him. And that made her anxious. Which one did he find out?

“This.” Gael waved the test pack in front of her and Lise could feel blood drain from her face. “You are pregnant.”
