Chapter 60: 3.4: A Saviour?
"Why do they love teasing me with him?!" Yara vents out right after she exited the building. She stomps her little feet and sighs.
Her skirt's pocket vibrates a bit. Yara takes out her phone and checks the caller ID. Casually, she slides the screen to the left.
A car stops in front of her, immediately after she rejects the call. Yara frowns a bit. She stops at where she stands. There's some frustration in her face.
"Get in."

"Why are you still at the campus at this hour?"
"It's even better than ending up in a room of some random men..." Yara glares at Kluen. "Right?" she purposely smirks at him.
Kluen grits his teeth. He turns his body towards Yara, facing his step sister with a furious expression on his face.
"You're mock me..."
"You're stalking me..."
"I'm taking care of you-"
"That's not what a caring gesture is. I can report you to the authority," Yara replies.
The air feels even more tense.
"Yara... Let's go home," says Kluen.
"I will, but not now..."
"We can discuss this at home-"
"Sorry," Yara pulls the handle and steps out from Kluen's car when he tries to stop her from leaving.
"Yara!" Kluen unbuckles his seat, jumps out from the car and chases Yara from behind.
"Stop following me!"
"We should talk about this properly..."
"There's no way the conversation between us will be in the proper manner, P'Kluen!"
Kluen manages to grab Yara's hand. He yanks her to his side, making the small body almost flying away.
"P'Kluen! Let me go!"
Kluen drags Yara towards the car after he failed to lift her onto his shoulder because she resisted him so much. Yara holds onto her dear life, trying her best to escape.
That's when she sees someone running towards Kluen and landing a fist on his face.
Kluen lets Yara go.
"Go, or I'll call the police!" Aye Yi yells at Kluen. The man stands up properly, wiping some blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Stay away from this!"
"You stay away from Yara!"
"I'm her brother!"
"So, what makes you hold the right to force her?! Just because you're her brother? So you think she belongs to you?! That's some shia thoughts!" Aye Yi grabs Kluen's collar, tugs it so tight while his eyes are piercing sharply into Kluen's eyes.
"I am a family. And she must listen to me!"
"If I am your brother, I will never listen to a sutt phi chai like you!"
With that, a hard knuckle slicing the air and sharply cross Aye Yi's cheek.
"P'Kluen, stop it!" Yara pushes Kluen away from Aye Yi. She grabs the boy in her tiny embrace, looking at her step brother with a vicious sight.
"You're taking his side now?! Really?!"
"So, should I let you be a sutt? A murderer?" Yara sarcastically throws words at Kluen. After some shady words, Yara quickly checks on Aye Yi, just in case he's hurt.
Watching how caring Yara is towards Aye Yi makes Kluen boil more inside. He charges forward, grabs her forearm in violence attitude and tries to drag her away from Aye Yi.
Before he could drag her away, Aye Yi stamps Kluen's face with his knuckle. The man drags a foot away from the pair.
"Stay. Away. From. Yara!" Aye Yi warns Kluen in a stern voice. Watching Kluen hopelessly grunt on the ground, Aye Yi smirks and walks back to Yara.
"Let's go..." Aye Yi tries to drag the girl, but she stands there, froze like an ice cube. Maybe still in shock. Aye Yi thinks carefully. He feels like he has no choice but to do something.
That's when he lifts the girl up onto his shoulder and walks away from the scene.
"Put me down, you crazy frog!"
Aye Yi ignores Yara's plea. He puts Yara on the pillion of his motorbike and dons a helmet on her head.
"Are you trying to kidnap me?!" Yara tries to hit him with her small hand but Aye Yi manages to grab it with ease.
"Let's go find something to eat..." Aye Yi leans forward while snapping down the helmet's visor. Yara falls into a deep electrocuted feel after she sees Aye Yi's wink.
"Hold on tight, miss!" Aye Yi warns Yara before pressing the starter ignition and leaves the scene along with her.
