The next day, Aaron accompanied August to the hospital and stayed with her till she was done with all the tests that was required. They walked out of the hospital towards the car park and August turned to Aaron and asked.
''Are you angry with ?''
''No''
''I guess you really are'' August said and frowned. Aaron sighed and cald himself down before turning to face her. He touched her shoulders and spoke.
''August Maijune, can't you just listen to for once and go for the therapy?''
''Why? Did Dr. Kash say that I'm seriously sick or that I am going to die?'' August asked.
''Is nothing like that. Is just that, you really need to go for therapy'' Aaron said.
''Why? Because you are scared I might do sothing dangerous to myself or maybe I might disrupt your life? Aaron Saint, do you find burdenso already?'' August asked coldly.
''No, that is not it''
''Then what is it? You want to go for therapy? I can't even rember who I am or what kind of person I am. I don't even know what's wrong with and you keep talking about therapy. Tell seriously, am I a dangerous person? That so called accident. It wasn't really an accident, right?'' August asked and spalled his hands away from her shoulders.
''Augusy, I am worried about you and I am doing this for your own good'' Aaron said to her and she gave a sarcastic chuckle.
''Stop kidding yourself. You are not doing anything for my good? You are only worried that I will do sothing that will tarnish your image. Is that not it?''
''August listen to ''
''No, you listen to . I am not sick and therefore do not need to visit any psychiatrist. If you don't stop talking about this now, then I will not go ho with you''
':Fine, do whatever you want'' Aaron said and walked away towards his car.
August looked at him and laughed before also turning away. She walked across the road and ignored Aaron. By the turn Aaron turned to check her whereabouts she was long crossing the road and he cussed and got into the car. it soon started raining.
Not far away from Aaron's car stood a black Bentley. Lorca watched with interest the scene that unfolded before him. He smirked and murmured to himself ''a monster will always be a monster even when they didn't rember anything. August Maijune, long ti no see you''.
.........
Aaron Saint followed August Maijune as she walked slowly in the rain. He could see from the window that she was crying in the rain yet her stubbornness was unfathomable. She had refused to go into the car and preferred to walk in the rain.
Aaron Saint couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled over and got down from the car with an umbrella. He ran to August and saw that she had stopped walking suddenly. Another car had pulled over in front of her and she was looking at soone.
Aaron Saint frowned and got closer as the appearance of the man beca clear to him. He stood by August whose gaze was fixated on the man who was covered in a raincoat and held an umbrella. The man was smiling at her.
August looked at the man and turned to see Aaron Saint beside her. She looked at Aaron Saint and turned to look at the man. A flash of images crossed her mind and her eyelashes twitched subconsciously.
"August, let's go back ho'' Aaron said to her and held her hand. August didn't say anything and was about to turn when she heard the voice of the man in rain coat. It sounded familiar though she couldn't figure out how.
''Hello, August Maijune. You don't even rember your own uncle now?'' Lorca said and gave a rather mocking smile. His smile irked August and robbed her the wrong way. She frowned and attempted to step forward when Aaron stopped her imdiately, getting in front of her.
''Lorca, I thought I warned you to never appear before or August Maijune?'' Aaron Saint said to Lorca.
':Well, you did but, she is my niece after all. She can't even rember anything and that saddens . I was just thinking that, maybe, who knows, my presence could help her rember what kind of person she was. Oh, that's not right. I was hoping that my presence could remind her of the monster that she is'' Lorca said and smiled again. Each ti he smiled, August's eyes turned cold. she was getting bad vibes from him.
''You still haven't learnt your lesson yet, right? I will make sure to give you a rather befitting gift very soon, Lorca Don Marco'' Aaron said.
''Lorca Don Marco?' August repeated the na and gave an eerie laugh before continuing ':so, is you? The one who have been appearing in my dreams lately?''
Aaron Saint and Lorca looked at her, both had distorted faces as they watched her.
''Why? Didn't you say you wanted to remind of the kind of person I was? No, that's not right. You said you wanted to remind of the kind of monster I was, right?'' August said and took a step closer to Lorca. Her steps were rather decisive and her pupils were a shade of dark red. Her lips culled upwards but it wasn't a smile either. She looked like she was smiling but only Aaron Saint knew and understood well enough to know that the person at the mont wasn't August, neither was she Mai or Maijune. She was different. She was a completely different character all together.
Lorca stepped backwards and hit his car. He had nowhere to go now. He looked frighteningly at August Maijune and stuttered.
''This is broad day, there are people all around. If you dare to do anything, then not only will you be attracting attention, you will also let everyone find out about the fact that Aaron Saint, the model citizen of D-City is hiding and protecting a dangerous person who should be at the asylum"
August Maijune massaged her head slightly and laughed before turning to look at Aaron Saint asking ''you must be Aaron Saint? The man who is hiding and protecting , right?'' she said and walked closer to Aaron Saint. She pouted her lips innocently and looked at him before laughing ''look at you? You look so cute with that horrified expression on your face? Ireally want to eat you Aaron Saint. You are just my type; you know?'' she winked at him and Aaron Saint smiled.
''You even have a beautiful smile and you don't seem to be afraid of as compared to that man who is trying to get into his car right now. It will be in your best interest to stay where you are, uncle''
Lorca almost tripped and held unto his car. He was trying to use the fact that August Maijune was flirting with Aaron Saint to flee the scene. He wondered if she had eyes behind her to be able to see that he was indeed about to run for his dear life.
August Maijune turned and looked at Lorca, she walked to him and leaned closer to him saying ''don't worry, I am not the one you are looking for tonight, but I will make sure to tell her that you ca to visit. I would have loved to have so tea with you, but, sothing else has my attention now'' she turned and looked at Aaron Saint before adding ''you see, I hate to let a beautiful man wait on , so, let's postpone the tea to another good day. Get lost from my sight before I change my mind''.
Lorca nodded obediently and was about to open the car when she suddenly pushed it back closed and said to him ''rember this na, June August Mai. That is my na:' she said and smiled before turning away. She walked to a stupefied Aaron Saint and stood in front of him.
Aaron Saint and June looked at each other. They were still in the rain and their clothes were already wet. They didn't even realise or notice the ti that Lorca left in his car. They were busy starring at each other.
June's hair which was let loss and was now wet spread across her face ssily, giving her a seductive look but her eyes were too dark.
Aaron Saint wasn't the least scared because he had a gut feeling that there was another personality hidden deep inside August Maijune. A rather promiscuous and seductive character. A dangerous character and he was right. she finally showed herself to him after so long.
''Youfinally showed yourself to ?'' Aaron Saint asked and June curved her lips in a mocking smile.
''It seems that you were looking forward to seeing . Should I be glad or angry?'' June said and closed the gap between them.
She stood boldly closer to Aaron Saint and looked up at him ''I really like tall and handso n. Hello, Aaron Saint. Nice to finally et you, I am June August Mai, the eldest of the four of us''
