Love Worth Fighting For

Zwetta who was fast asleep in her bed suddenly woke up when she felt her chest tighten for no reason.

“What is wrong with me?” Zwetta stammered . “Why is my chest suddenly tight like this?”

Using her left hand, which had begun to improve, Zwetta then grabbed the button beside the nightstand to turn on the light in her room. With her eyes not fully open, Zwetta looked at the clock on the wall in her room. Zwetta’s lips curled slightly when she saw the number indicated by the rectangular digital clock.

Because the tightness in her chest did not go away, Zwetta decided to get up from her bed and walked to the refrigerator near the cupboard where some of her weapons were stored.

Carrying a can of her favorite soft drink, Zwetta sat on the balcony of her room looking out at the bustling streets of New York.

“Why does my chest suddenly feel tight like this,” Zwetta said again. “It doesn’t feel very comfortable.”

Zwetta , who always has regular health check-ups with doctor Giana, felt strange when she suddenly felt a tight feeling in her chest, an uncomfortable feeling that Zwetta felt before. A strange feeling that was never even present when she was on a dangerous mission.

“What is this uneasy feeling? Why is it so uncomfortable, God.” Zwetta again muttered softly with her right hand that had touched her left chest, feeling how fast her heart was beating at this moment.

Because her anxiety didn’t go away, Zwetta finally decided to go back into her room and immediately changed into comfortable clothes to practice. Without leaving her cellphone, Zwetta then rushed to the practice room which was near the car park area. Because it was still too early, when Zwetta came down from her room on the third floor to the basement she didn’t meet anyone. Everyone including the main boss, Robin, was still asleep in his sleep.

.....

After completing the preparations, Zweta then began to busy herself with some of the available sports equipment. Zwetta tried to keep herself busy to get rid of the discomfort that was bothering her.

“Zwetta!”

Zwetta, who was cooling down using the treadmill, turned towards the door where Andres had just shouted, calling her name.

“What are you doing?!”

Zwetta smiled. “What do you think?”

“You’ve been practicing this early? Really?”

“I couldn’t sleep again after waking up an hour ago, that’s why I chose to train,” Zwetta answered honestly.

Andres tilted his head. “Wake up an hour ago, did your wound hurt again?”

“No, my wound has healed.”

“So what made you wake up so early?”

Zwetta pressed the off button on the treadmill she was using and walked towards the resting place not far from where Andres was standing.

“I don’t know, I’m not usually like this,” Zwetta replied quietly as she wiped the sweat that was dripping down her face. “I feel so uneasy, even now that uncomfortable feeling still suffocates my chest.”

“Uncomfortable, restless feeling?”

Zwetta nodded slowly. “Yeah, a feeling I’ve never felt before. Even when I’m on a dangerous mission I’ve never been like this.”

Andres was silent, he did not immediately respond to Zwetta’s words who were drinking mineral water in her hands.

“Did you watch that nauseous thriller before going to bed again?”

Zwetta chuckled. “What does watching movies have to do with this uncomfortable feeling that bothers me, hm? You’re so funny.”

“If it wasn’t for that sadistic movie you used to watch, then why?”

“I don’t know, Andres,” Zwetta answered quietly, her eyes slowly dimming. “Do you think it is possible for a person to forget important events in her life?”

Andre’s face immediately went pale. “W..what do you mean, Zee?”

Zwetta was silent for a few seconds before finally shaking her head slowly. “Forget it, I was just talking,” Zwetta replied with a smile. “Since you’re awake, come accompany me to practice.”

“Accompany you practice? Aren’t you done, huh?”

“Indeed, but it feels like something is still missing. That’s why I invited you to practice together.”

Andres, whose life had not yet returned, immediately raised his hands high in the air, refusing Zwetta’s invitation to accompany her to practice. “No thanks, all my muscles are still not fully recovered after two days ago being friends practicing Muay Thai with Bee.”

“Tsk, weak.”

“Indeed, I am a weak man among the three mighty women like you,” said Andres jokingly.

An annoyed Zwetta then threw the empty mineral water bottle at Andres, but the agile Andres managed to ward off the mineral water bottle with ease. So what Zwetta expected did not happen.

“Hurry up!! Your presence makes my mood even more chaotic!”

Andres, who realized Zwetta’s change in emotion, decided to immediately leave Zwetta’s presence to find safety, he didn’t want to get into trouble with Zwetta who was angry. after Andres left, Zwetta then lay down on the mat staring at the ceiling of the gym with eyes that suddenly felt hot.

“Why doesn’t this uncomfortable feeling go away from my chest,” Zwetta said quietly. “What’s really going on? Do I have a terminal illness that makes my heart keep beating like this, can’t it? Doctor Giana can’t hide it from me, can she?”

Feeling that if she didn’t get better soon, Zwetta decided to take a breath of fresh air outside. Without wearing the bullet-proof clothes that have been mandatory when leaving the house, Zwetta decided to jog to Central Park, which is not far from Robin’s residence and office, which has been her shelter from the heat and rain for years. Because she was wearing a hoodie, Zwetta’s appearance was slightly disguised. From a glance she looks like an ordinary girl enjoying the morning air, in the biggest park in New York City. Being in the park, which was visited by more than 25 million people, made Zwetta feel a little more comfortable, the tightness that had been gripping her chest for the past three hours was slowly fading away, although there was still a lump that wouldn’t go away from inside her.

“Water, Miss.”
