Kira couldn't sleep that night.

Every time she closes her eyes, all she could see is the silhouette of the man who is trying to molest her!

She hasn't seen his face clearly because he was wearing a face mask, and she has not seen him when Alex has beaten him.

But, she will find a way to find out who they are!

"Sweetheart?"

Kira snapped back to her senses when she heard Tim's voice.

"H-Huh?!" She blurted out.

"Are you alright?" Tim asked when he notices her wife being restless.

"Huh?!" Kira froze.

"I can see you're being restless," Tim said.

"You keep on tossing on the bed."

Kira turned to Tim.

"I-I'm sorry Tim, I... I just couldn't sleep." Kira replied.

"Why?"

"Are you afraid, you might have a nightmare again?" Tim asked.

Kira looked at Tim and she nodded her head.

'She's still awake but she already having a nightmare!'

Tim embraces Kira, "Don't worry, I am right here beside you." Tim assured.

Kira felt the warmth of Tim's embrace and it made her feel secured!

------

The next morning...

Tim knitted his brows when he saw Kira's broken phone at the top of the table.

"Sweetheart, why your phone is broken?" He asked.

"Huh?!" Kira tilted her head to Tim.

Tim lifted the phone and show it to Kira.

"Oh!"

Kira stepped forward and took the phone from Tim.

"I... I accidentally dropped it." She said without looking at him.

Tim stared at Kira, and he felt odd, there is something wrong with her!

She can't even look at him straight to his eyes!

"Oh! Is that the reason why I couldn't reach you yesterday?" Tim asked.

"Huh?!" Kira looked up at Tim, but she instantly takes back her gaze."Y-Yes!" She said without thinking.

"But you said your phone is out of battery," Tim commented.

Kira froze!

My God!

How could she forget about it?

Kira, you're not thinking before talking!

Kira scolded her self.

"D-Did I?" Kira just pretended to forget!

"Kira, are you hiding something from me?" Tim asked suspiciously.

"N-No! Of course not!" Kira turned to avoid Tim's gaze.

"Why can't you even look at me straight to the eyes?" Tim asked again.

Kira stopped in her track, she closed her eyes as she took a deep breath before she turned to Tim and spoke, "Tim, I am not hiding anything from you, alright?!" She said before she turns back and instantly walks out of the master's bedroom.

Tim was left stunned inside the bedroom, 'Why she's being s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e?'

Tim sighs!

He can feel that Kira is hiding something from him!

-----

Alex left from his house early in the morning, but he did not go straight to J International school, he went to the Department of Motor Vehicles instead, and looked for his friend, Rick.

"Dude! Long-time no see!" Rick exclaimed when he saw Alex.

"Yeah, long time no see," He replied as with a smile on his face.

The two of them shook hands before Alex sits down on the chair in front of Rick's desk.

"So, what brought you here?" Rick asked.

"Oh, I'm here to ask you a favor," Alex said straight forward.

"Favor?" Rick repeated.

Alex took his phone from his pocket, he swiped it a few times, before he showed a photo to Rick.

"Could you help me with this?" He asked as he shows the photo to Rick.

"A plate number?" Rick asked as he saw the photo.

"Yes!" Alex replied.

"Could you trace the owner of this car?" He asked.

"Sure!" Rick replied.

"It's an easy task for me."

"Just give me a moment." He added and then he started to tap his desktop.

Alex silently waited, after a while, Rick stopped tapping his desktop and faced Alex again.

"Have you find it?" Alex asked.

"I couldn't find any record of this plate number," Rick said with his puzzled look.

"It wasn't in the registrars."

Alex looks at Rick, "What do you mean?" He asked with his brow knitted.

" There are two possible things, this plate number may not be registered yet or this may be fake," Rick said.

"What?!" Alex blurted out and then he fell into deep thought.

The car doesn't look like it was new, so, it's impossible if it wasn't registered yet!

If that's the case, everything may be... Alex paused as the idea flashed into his mind.

'It is possible that everything was planned!'

'They manipulated the plate number.'

'They used a fake plate number to avoid us from tracing the real owner!'

They planned it very well!

They must know that the third gate becomes uncrowded late in the afternoon and the culprit might know that there are no CCTV cameras in the place!

But why?

Why would they attack Kira?

Kira is a good person, he never heard she fought with someone!

Alex couldn't think of a reason why would somebody attack Kira.

There are a lot of questions on Alex's mind, like...

Who was the person who sent him that message?

Why does he or she send me that message instead of calling for the police?

How he or she did know my number and my feelings for Kira?

Could it be that person was also the culprit behind this?

If their target is Kira, why does the culprit have to involve me then?

Why did he os she sent me a message and tell me where is Kira at that moment?

Who would do this?

Alex doesn't know what to think anymore!

But one thing he is sure about, Kira's life is in danger!

Alex couldn't imagine what could have possibly happened to her if he did not arrive on time.

Kira needs protection and he knows someone who can provide her the protection that she needs!

He doesn't want to be selfish this time!

Kira's safety is more important to him!
