Chapter 15: Flash back

*Mc pov*

After coming to the winery I did my essential daily scheduled work like activating cleaning robots, checking inventory and opening the dated barrel and bottle the wine. I was planning on brewing wine but I'm really not in the mood.

I went staringht to my room and changed into a shorts and went to the gym. I don't know why I'm sad when I already accepted my death. I just started exercising. Did cardio while wearing a weighted vest, lifted weights as usual did the routine that I did yesterday but for a much longer time.

I really didn't want to think about anything and the first thing that came to my mind to numb my mind is exhausting myself. I finished my exercise and started practising fighting techniques.

Few hours later.

Now, I'm just lying in own sweat in the gym floor. I couldn't think about anything and he'll I even feel more emotional now than I did before.

"Ahhhh"

I shouted out loud and released all my frustration. Now I understand that accepting my death doesn't mean I forget what my past life is. I have been doing this for last two days. The past life is also a part of me and I don't have to avoid them but face the fact that I miss them.

I kinda understand why people's memory get erased when they are reborn. If not most of them would wallow in their past and won't live the present.

After the venting I felt a little relaxed and then pain and the disgusting smell started hitting me like a truck. My knuckles hurt by all the punches I threw, my muscles hurt by the strain I have put them through, my leg fibulae and all the carpels hurt from the kicking.

Basically every part of me hurts. I struggled to stand up and eventually did with supporting myself against the metal beam. I walked towards the bathroom slowly and slowly took a shower in it. Then I went to my bed and let myself fall into the land of dreams.

*Arora Pov*

After Justin left I was absent minded. I slowly walked towards the counter. I saw Komiko walk towards me .

"Hey Aro, what did you guys talk about?"

"You didn't say the complete story to him?"

"No I didn't, it will create more pain for both of you. And it's kinda also your fault you know. Don't bully that kid too much. It seems like he is not over his family's death."

"Yeah, I know. But promise me that you will not tell him the whole truth." I asked komiko looking anxiously. It was not a prideful thing to expose. It was shameful and I'm ashamed of what I did and never want to sever my relationship with that innocent guy.

Those are kind of rare in this forsaken world. His innocence might not last forever but it's kinda refreshing to know people like that exist.

"Yeah, no worries. But you know , you have to make it up to him for that kick you gave."

I just nodded in approval,

"Yeah, I will."

After that I just went to the service and started cleanup ing the glasses slowly waiting for the next costumer. I started thinking about what happened yesterday.

A small flash back.

After we went to the pub in a jolly mood, we started drinking. Justin was hesitating to drink at first but we compelled him to do so as it will release the pent up stress after his first kill. You couldn't tell that by his face but his hands were shaking the whole time.

We brought him here because he was stressed when we found him in his room. It's good to release that pent up stress once in a while. But what I didn't expect was once he started drinking he was on a nonstop drinking machine. He kept on drinking until he almost laid flat.

It was clear that he was depressed about something and I was thinking of bringing him to the dance floor to cheer him up a little bit. That's when I heard a sob. I looked at him, he was mumbling about how he misses his mom, dad and brother. How he couldn't see them anymore.

I couldn't bear it and I got closer to comfort him. I put my hand on his shoulder and said,

"It's alright, Justin just vent it out by crying. You will be okay when you wake up."

Then he looked at me with those hazy eyes. He was trying to focus his eyes then he rubbed his eyes and looked at me. He then asked,

"Is that you Tiera? Is that you~? I always knew~ you would be here for me. I always knew~."

He spoke in a slurry way but his eyes, his eyes were full of joy and love. He slowly extended his hands and slowly caressed my cheeks. I don't know who this Tiera is, but the eyes Justin just showed me said a whole lot about her or what she meant to Justin atleast.

His eyes were full of love, trust and peace. It was like the face he was imagining meant everything in the world to him. I didn't know anyone could make that face in response to anyone. Atleast I didn't have anyone show me this kind of emotion.

I wanted it. That was my final thought before I kissed him. Kissed him hard. He also started kissing back. We were passionately kissing for a long time. I felt peace and yearning for more of this. I slowly separated from him. He looked at me with a confused eyes.

"What's happening, where is my Tiera? you are not my Tiera."

It seems he came to himself. I didn't know what to do when I heard him say that. I was flustered and kicked him in the head. He was instantly knocked out.

I was instantly came back to myself, 'oh what have I done?' That's when the shame hit me.

"What the hell are you doing Aro? Why did you kick Justin?"

Komiko who scolded me was already checking up on him. I didn't know what to do. I was totally confused. I didn't even want to remain here so I did the best I could do. And I ran away. I ran away from the pub to my home.

After some time Komiko came back to the house with Justin who was unconscious. I looked at him and asked komiko,

"Is he okay?"

To which she replied,

"He is fine, just knocked out from the hit. And what the hell were you thinking. You kissed him first and you hit him when he came to his senses. I don't know what to say anymore."

I didn't know what to say either but suddenly I felt a hug, it was komiko who hugged me and asked,

"Are you okay? You were not yourself after you kissed him. Is something bothering you?"

I couldn't hold myself anymore. I told her everything. Everything I saw and everything I felt during the kiss and about the words Justin said and about my shameful feeling after the incident. We talked about it for some time and she consoled me and warned me,

"Aro, keep this in mind, the love and trust you felt from him are not towards you. Don't mistake it girl or it's gonna hurt you."

"I know. I don't want to lose in a delusion. I was just drunk, ok?"

"Yeah, but if he didn't realise it was you he was kissing, I bet you would have taken him to bed."

"No, hell no. That would never happen. Never."

I was flustered and basically throwing a fit. I know she is teasing me but I couldn't do anything about it.

"There is a chance that he won't remember anything that happened today. If that is the case what will you do?" Komiko asked me this and I was hoping this would happen.

"If didn't remember, please hid this from him. I don't want him to know about this incident. Will you please hide it from him. This is a request of my lifetime. I …"

"Sure. I'll help. Besides I don't think he would appreciate knowing this either. Let's see, it's not time for that yet."

*present*

I was dazed thinking about what happened and suddenly heard komiko calling me,

"Hey Aro about the bills did you talk to him about that?"

"Yeah but I told him it was 1200 credits. Which he paid me by the way. What about the remaining 4000 credits. Wait a minute. Are you going to cover for him? You know he drank a lot of expensive wine right?"

"Yeah, but it's okay. I atleast owe him that." But I'll never tell her about the two more 'favours' I got from him.

*Mc pov*

*The next day*

I woke up at i woke up at 2:00 Am. I slept for almost 14 hours. 'I gotta have a fixed time schedule. If not I'm going to ruin my health.'

I feel fresh. Not feeling sad or burdened. I also felt my body pain free but with some strain. I get off my bed and do some stretching and I only felt a slight strain, instead of the expected hellish after effect of the excessive workout.

It seems my recovery rate is a bit high. As I was checking my condition, I felt hungry. I totally forgot that I just ate breakfast the whole day yesterday. I shouldn't be doing that too. I quickly ate whatever fruits available. I half filled my stomach and went to the gym.

I saw sweat stains everywhere. 'God I hate myself'. Then I went to the shelf and brought the cleaning utensils and cleaned the place. After that I started today's workout.
