Part 69

.

"What does he say?" I ask Day.

"He agrees." Day smiles.

"Really?"

He nods. Still smiling.

But i don't feel like smiling now.

What Anden said to me keeps playing in my head.

'Do you realize that his life might be at stake if he supports me?'

.

Day watches me intently.

"June, what's wrong?"

"I-" I don't know how to say it.

Day would probably think i'm a crank.

First i dragged him into all this.

And now i'm worried about his life.

No. He wouldn't think i'm a crank.

He would certainly be sure that i am a crank.

.

"I-" I try again. "I don't know. I think you might get in danger."

I blurt out. "I'm not sure about this decision anymore."

"Hey" He says softly. "June, you don't have to worry about me getting hurt."

He cups my face in his hands.

"Anden said he'd give us all the protection he can. And that my speech will be kept secret up until the day before the Elections. So, you see there is nothing to worry about, yeah?"

"I'm trying not to worry." I sigh.

Wait!

I just realized something.

Anden? Did i hear him right? Day just addressed Anden by his name instead of calling him Mr Elector or your Elector. Well.

.

He is waiting for my answer. So i nod and ask. "Would you accept Republic's protection?"

He blinks uncertainly but says "Yeah."

.

"Why?" I ask. "You never trusted Republic in the past. Do you trust them now?"

"But i did trust you then." He replies. "And i do trust you now." He adds. "And i do trust him now."

"Him?" I ask.

"Um... Anden." He says.

I smile. "You're calling him by name!"

"Well, thats a start." He taps on my nose once and pulls me into a brief kiss.

I never imagined Day and Anden as friends. Atleast not in this lifetime.

But who knows what future might bring!

.

"When is the Election Day?" I ask settling down on the couch with him once again.

"Ten days from now. June 28th. I'm going to address the people of Republic one day before it."

"You sure about all this?" I ask again.

"Yeah." He takes me in his arms. His chin rests on my head.

"And you shouldn't worry. I know what i'm doing. And i think everything's gonna work out right."
