Chapter 40: Collateral Damage
Tony went straight back to Rin Chan's apartment after he met Mama's subordinates.
He immediately check up on Rin Chan. Fortunately, she was still sound asleep.
He decided to clean her messy house. He checked her refrigerator and as expected it was empty.
He looked at his watch, it's already 5am. He went out and shop at a nearby wet market.
He bought lots of meats, vegetables and fruits. He decided to cook light meals for her and he put it in a separate containers.
After two hours of non stop cooking, her pantry was now filled with lots of viands and food.
He sat beside her and gently stroke her face.
He regretted the time that he wasn't by her side when Sean died.
If only he didn't accepted his mission, he would've been able to accompany her in during the hard times.
Not a day goes by that he didn't think about her. How does she holding up, how she's living her life after witnessing her brother killing himself infront of her.
After seeing the way she live after her brother's passing, Tony realizes that suicide indeed doesn't end the pain. It was just passed on to those who were left behind.
People assumes that Rin Chan was doing well, but the truth is she was barely hanging.
They don't know about Rin and Sean's tough love kind of relationship. They only see them as two distant siblings but in reality they have each other's back.
During missions Rin Chan didn't notice it but their positions always been all about guarding her.
Sean always makes sure that she wasn't in the frontlines. He doesn't show it but he cares and loves his sister so much.
Tony reckons that when Sean told him about their vow of celibacy, Sean was still protecting his sister's interest.
He doesn't want Rin Chan to be torn in choosing her duty over her love. Sean knows it would only break her heart.
Tony kissed Rin Chan's cheeks and whispered to her ears.
"I promised I won't leave you ever again."
He sincerely said. Rin Chan just smiled at him. He wonders what kind of dream is she having.
The sun gradually shines, lighting up the sky and soon Rin Chan slowly opens her eyes.
She had a wonderful dream in which she and Tony were out in an empty island basking under the sunny sky.
Hearing the calming waves of the ocean. She's far away from all the pain and anxiety while wrapped up in Tony's warm embrace.
