Mi Marido Misterioso (My Mysterious Husband)

Chapter 13: Finding the Artifact



Chapter Thirteen:

 

Past…

 

Sky International Airport

 

"Deal," it was Norward who called me.

 

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

 

"I heard from Van that you were about to leave now."

 

"Yes. I'm sorry for not informing you. It just that we need to hurry," I explained.

 

"It is about the artifact that suddenly emerges at Sofian?"

 

"Yes, it is." I answered. "Netro was the one who told me."

 

"If that is the case you need to be more careful," he said. "Because I've heard that the young Reinhardt found something about the artifact though I'm not so sure if they will go there or not."

 

"If that is the case, then we really need to find it first."

 

"Yes, you were right." he agreed. "Furthermore, we need to be sure that Wafi will not be part of his explore because we all knew how capable Wafi is."

 

I deeply sigh because he was telling the truth, Wafi is a capable explorer and we all knew he might be able to locate the artifact even if the place is unexplored.

 

Sofian International Airport

 

"Lady Deal."

 

I turned to Thomas. "Where are they?" I was asking about the group that we choose to join in while we silently search for the artifact that we are looking for at the unexplored ruins.

 

"They'll be here in ten minutes," he answered. "They just had to pick up something so they were late to pick us up."

 

"That's fine we're not in a hurry."

 

"Alright, I'll tell them." He said that I just nodded.

 

I quickly take my cell phone and dialed Shu Tokino's number, my best friend and colleague.

 

"Deal!" Shu Tokino immediately picks up my call. "Have you arrived yet?"

 

"Yes, so I called you immediately." I answered.

 

"Oh, thank God! You're safe!"

 

"Shuki! Is that Dealla?" it was Alena, one my best friend and also my colleague.

 

"Yes, she is."

 

"I'll talk to her." Alena said and before I could say a word, there she was, she asked me a lot and it takes us ten minutes before I said goodbye after seeing Thomas was coming.

 

"Lady Deal, they are here." He said after I hang up.

 

"Alright, let's go."

 

Amun City, Sofian Country

 

"Wafi!" I was excited to finally see him again.

 

"You really came here alone." He said after we greeted each other.

 

"Of course! It's better for me to be here alone so as not to realize my true purpose here." I spoke. "So, where do we go first?"

 

"Before we tackle about it, let's get inside so that you can relax while we talk about it."

 

"Alright, let's go." I said and followed him inside his home. "So, do you get some clue?" I asked after we settled my things.

 

"Yes, though it won't be easy because the researchers and the other explorers found three new unexplored ruins and one of the three ruins differ because of the size of the area it occupies."

 

"Let's go to that last." I decided.

 

Dawn Village, Sofian Country

 

"Ms. Griffith." I stop to turn around and see who called me.

 

"Mr. Reinhardt?" I was really surprised seeing him here.

 

"Surprise right." He said with a smirk and arrogance from his face and that is why I really don't like him.

 

"What are you doing here?" I asked in a very cold tone and even though I don't want to ask him, I still did.

 

"I'm here to find some clues about Siara Meinir."

 

Another surprised even though I already knew it still, he came all the way here from Celeste Country just to find some clues to find Siara.

 

"You're too persistent."

 

"Of course! After her death, I knew she left something behind and it seems you were here looking for it too."

 

As I suspected, he came here because of it though… "I'm not here for that reason." I lied and walks away from him.

 

"If I were you, I'll be honest because soon I'll be the first one to drink her blood!"

 

I stop and take a deep breath before turning back at him. "Haimon won't let you."

 

"Yeah! That is why—well I don't think I shall tell you anyway." He said with a meaningful smile. "So, bye for now." He said before leaving me behind.

 

What was he trying to do? That question left me puzzled.

 

Present…

 

"Mr. Reinhardt was looking for you." Alena answered that made me curious after hearing it.

 

"Who's Reinhardt?" I asked and I knew I couldn't hide the tension that I felt after hearing that surname.

 

"Kanik Reinhardt." Shu Tokino answered. "And I have to take care of him."

 

"What! Why?"

 

"He wants Shuki to arrange his orders." Alena answered. "So go ahead and--"

 

"Wait!" I said, trying to stop Shu Tokino from getting away.

 

"Why?" they both asked me in surprised.

 

"… I…" what shall I say? Really, at this matter of time I got nothing to say because of the situation that we had. It isn't the right time to discuss it besides the thought that she's safe at this moment is enough to make me at ease, for now. "Alright, go. I was just surprised hearing that the second child of Reinhardt was here and looking for you. The wife of the richest man at the Sky City…"

 

"I thought of it too!" Alena answered.

 

"Yeah! And his quite peculiar of choosing flowers."

 

"Really?" I doubt if he isn't. "Anyway, go on! I'll step out outside and make a call."

 

"Okay! But don't leave without informing us, we'll eat dinner together after work."

 

"Promise I won't!" I answered before they left and then I quickly step out of our office to call someone. "Did he send you flowers?" I directly question him after he answered my call.

 

"Yes, he did."

 

"What now?"

 

"I already take care of it."

 

"Then why he was here? At the ADS Flower Shop…"

 

Silence.

 

"I'll meet you after." He just said before he hangs up.
