Hero

It's been a couple of minutes since we were traveling to Lulu's Restaurant since we were supposed to meet Raiza and Altair as they called Jennifer earlier. I can't wait to know the information they gather. I want to see my parents already. I want to know who they are.

"Jennifer, Ciara, here!" I heard Raiza shout who was waving in our direction as soon as we entered the restaurant, so we went to where they were.

"Who's with you?" Raiza whispered as I sat beside her. He was referring to Tyler.

"He's Tyler Jeon, Jennifer's younger brother." I introduced myself to her.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Raiza lends her hand to Tyler who warmly accepts to shake it.

"I'm Altair Cabral." Cupid introduces as well.

"Come on, take a seat!"

"Here's your order, Ma'am/Sir." We looked at the man as he unloaded the food on our table.

"You already ordered?" Jen asked, my eyes narrow. She can literally see it now, yet she's still asking.

"Yeah, while we're waiting for you," Raiza replied and smiled.

I looked at Altair who I caught was also looking at me, but immediately averted his eyes, causing me to frown, but I just didn't pay attention to it. Weird.

"So, what's up? What's the news?" Jennifer asked as she ate the food. I smile unnoticeably. I remember Hannah to her... The girl who betrayed us.

"We already know who Ciara's real parents are," Raiza replied as she looked at us one by one, but she also immediately averted her eyes when it came to Tyler.

Eh? What was that? I noticed that. Hmm, I can smell something wrong from here.

"Who are they?" I asked.

"Eury Cortel and Xavier Cortel," she replied.

"Cortel?" I wondered.

"Yep and I already checked their profile backgrounds, they have a missing daughter and that's probably you."

"Wait, wait. How can you make sure I'm their missing child?" I asked her.

"Altair is always monitoring Mrs. Eury and until now, they say they are still looking for you with the help of cops, there are also other agents who are looking for you, in any case, they can't really find you, because all the documents about you were hidden by your fake parents, that's why they can't find any information about you," she said. My attention was focused on her while frowning.

"How can you make sure I'm really their child?"

She took out a picture and gave it to me, Jeon's siblings who were curious about the photo as well get closer to me, but my eyes immediately widened when I recognized what was in the picture.

"Wait! It's you, Ara!" Jen yelled when we both saw my baby picture.

How can they find me if they only have my baby picture?

But yes, it's me. Where did she get it? I also have this picture of me.

I took my wallet out of my bag and took a picture of me looking the same way as this picture I was holding.

"Where did you get this picture?" Tyler asked Raiza.

"To the cops, they showed me a picture when Mrs. Cortel was looking for it, so I asked for something as a reference," she replied.

"How did you know it was me? It's still a picture of me when I was a kid?" I asked her.

"I saw it inside Jennifer's wallet. She also has a picture of you and if I'm not mistaken, there is also a picture of Jennifer hidden in your wallet," she replied.

"How did you know?"

"Agent things," she winks at me.

"So, where can we find Ciara's parents?" Tyler asked.

"In Japan," Altair replied.

To my surprise, Jennifer suddenly stood up in her seat.

"What, in japan?! Why in Japan ?!" I frowned at Jennifer's scandalous moment.

"IN SO MANY PLACES, WHY IN JAPAN?! WHY THERE ?!" She shouted, causing the other customer to turn from us, so I pulled her to sit down.

"Calm down, it's embarrassing! Don't make a fuss. What's the matter in Japan ?!"

He did not answer immediately.

"Hey!"

"Nothing, I'm sorry, I was just shocked." She snorted.

"We need to go to Japan as soon as possible," Raiza said.

"Yeah, I want to see them too." I agree.

"When are we going?" Jen asked.

"Later," Raiza replied making our eyes widened

"IMMEDIATELY?!" We yelled simultaneously.

"Yep, we booked a flight earlier," Altair replied with a laugh that I had been caught looking at me earlier.

"Wait, sorry, but I noticed that you've been looking at me for a while, do you have a problem with me, Altair?" I asked him frankly and he immediately averted his eyes again.

"He's Cupid, your superhero," Raiza replied.

Huh?

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"I'm the one who's saving your life, every time your husband hurts you, to the point that he almost killed you, but because I've always been watching you, I keep you safe. Well, I haven't done anything to save you from him hurting you, but I was always the one who took you to the hospital then," he explained with a smile, which made my lips loosen up as automatically with memories flashbacked in my mind.

Was it him?

"If you're wondering why I'm doing that. Well, Shaira told me to. She wants me to watch over you."

"Don't worry, Altair is not our enemy. He quit his job with Shaira already."

I was just stunned by what they said and automatically someone flashbacked again to my mind.

Short flashback

"By the way, I'm Kaye."

"I'm Ci-"

"Ciara. Yeah, I know, because the person who brought you here also told me to take good care of you."

"W-who? Can you tell me who?"

"Secret!"

"I'm thankful to whoever that person is, he just saved my life. Didn't know someone would really do that for me, he's so thoughtful."

"Yeah, he really is. I strongly agree with you. Just so you know, he might look so bad because of his cold personality, but he'll probably run ahead of you just to dodge every bullet so it won't reach You. That's how he cares for you, Ciara. That's what his feelings can do for you.

It was as if cold water had been poured on me when I realized and understood what the nurse had meant to me at that time.

I stared at Altair, does that mean... he likes me? And he's really the one who always takes me to the hospital, who I totally thought was Tyron?
