"Come on grandma, come after me," Dave shouted. Instead of obeying his mother's words, the boy accelerated his feet. And that made Grandma look even more excited.

Claire paused for a moment. The woman massaged her painless temples. She was completely overwhelmed by the two of them.

She finally gave in and chose to walk leisurely, following her son and Grandmother from afar. Even so, she occasionally jogged.

Claire took a deep breath. Looking around, it was very quiet.

"Wait for me," Claire shouted when she saw Grandma and Dave turn the corridor and out of sight.

Claire quickened her pace. Suddenly the sound of a cell phone ringing was heard. Claire stopped and saw who was calling her, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

It was Devan, her future husband.

Bruck...

Bruck...

Someone suddenly appeared and dragged Claire very roughly, into a women's restroom and locked it from the inside. The woman was wearing all black clothes, a hat, glasses, and a mask that covered her face.

"Ahhh.." Claire winced in pain as her wrist was gripped very hard by an unknown figure.

"Who are you?" asked Claire.

"Let go of my hand," she repeated...

Plakk...

As soon as Claire's body staggered to the side, the woman slapped her on the cheek very hard.

"W-what are you doing? I have no business with you. Why did you slap me?" said Claire with a step back. Keep moving until you reach the toilet wall. She was afraid.

The woman in front of her chuckled and took off the mask she was wearing.

And at the same time, Claire's body stiffened.

"B-Byanca?" stammered Claire.

"Right, it's me Byanca," the woman said.

Claire immediately move, she wanted to go and leave that place, but her efforts failed. Byanca pushed her against the wall.

"What are you doing? Let me go. Let me go," Claire said trying to release Byanca's wrist on her arm.

"Please. Is there someone outside?" shouted Claire but the next second, Byanca kept their mouth claire shut.

"Shut up," Claire said as she pulled out a small knife from the pocket of the shirt she was wearing.

Clara shook her head. Tried to scream but her efforts were in vain. She couldn't even make a sound.

Knock... knock... knock...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Making Claire struggle, even more, she wanted to escape.

Byanca frowned, a rough sigh escaped her lips.

"Damn it," she said then looked at Claire with a sharp look.

"This time you might get away from me, Bitch," said Byanca with one hand pulling Claire's hair and it managed to make Claire wince in pain.

"After I was humiliated like that, don't expect your life to be calm. Keep this in mind, you damn woman," Byanca said, her face red with anger.

"Don't even think about living in peace, wherever you go, I will follow you. Even to the ends of the world," she added and pushed Claire's body aside so that it hit a sink.

Bruck...

"Ahhh..." Claire grimaced again.

A few moments later, two men in security uniforms approached.

"Are you okay, Miss?" one of them asked.

Claire got up from her position, "Where is that woman earlier?" she asked as she looked around the room.

"Which woman do you mean Miss? Is it the woman in black clothes?"

Claire immediately nodded, "Where is she?"

"What's going on here?" suddenly another voice was heard. Turning to the source of the voice, it came from Grandma.

"Mom, where have you been? Why don't you follow us?" Dave immediately approached his mother.

"I found your phone dropped in front of the toilet, honey," Grandma said then handed the flat-shaped object to Claire.

"T-thank you, Grandma," she said a little nervously, accepting the thing she was given.

Grandma's brow furrowed when she saw the red mark on Claire's wrist, she then turned to the two men in security uniforms.

"What did you do to my daughter-in-law?" Grandma shouted, snapping at the two men.

Instantly they both gasped, shocked.

"W-we didn't do anything, Madam. We just wanted to check this toilet," one of the men replied.

"N-not them, Grandma. Suddenly Byanca appeared and dragged me..."

"You two get out!! Go after the woman in black clothes earlier," shouted Grandma, interrupting Claire's unfinished speech. Indeed, when she was busy playing with her grandson, she did not pay attention to her son-in-law, un, til finally, she realized that it turned out that her son-in-law did not follow her. Finally, she and Dave stopped, chose to look for Claire, passed a woman dressed in all black, looking so mysterious.

Not only that, but she also found Claire's cell phone lying in front of the women's toilet. And that's what brought her into the room.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up, find a woman with all black clothes don't let her escape," Grandma shouted again to the two security guards.

"O-okay, madam. Then, we'll excuse ourselves," said the two while bowing respectfully.

"Calm down, I'm here now," said Grandma hugging Claire, trying to calm her down.

"I'm taking you to the hospital, honey," she added.

"Mom, what happened to you? Why are you crying?" Dave asked when he saw the tears still clearly visible on the woman's cheeks.

"Your mother just fell, honey. Don't worry," Grandma said.

"Is that true? Are you hurt, Mom?" Dave asked again.

"No, honey. I'm fine," Claire said again with a smile on her lips.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I left you, I won't it again. I will not run again like before, I will continue to be near you," said Dave and hugged his mother's legs, sounding a little sob.

"I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you, Mom. I'm sorry," Dave said.

"It's not your fault, honey. It's my carelessness," Claire replied while stroking her son's head.

"Now, let's go to the hospital," said Grandma.

"No need, Grandma. I'm not badly hurt. Just bruises," Claire refused.

"But honey. I..."

"Don't worry about me, Grandma. I'm fine. Look, I'm not hurt at all," said Claire interrupting the old woman's words while stretching her arms, trying to show that she was okay.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's behavior, Grandma took a deep breath. Then rubbed Claire's head, smoothing the woman's hair which looked very messy.

"Okay. I hope so. I'm sorry, honey. I didn't notice where you were," said Grandma.

Claire just nod weakly.. To be honest, she was still too shocked by what had happened, she never thought that Byanca would suddenly appear and threaten her like before.
