Primitive Man

Chapter 94: Confession

Unami and Kara crouched behind a gnarled oak tree, their eyes fixed on something mysterious hiding behind the same tree. Their faces were filled with curiosity and excitement.

"Is it happening?" Kara questioned, while Unami also nodded her head in agreement.

"It might be, this time."

As they peered cautiously from behind their arboreal cover, Garnt happened to spot them. With a mischievous grin, he approached and, in one swift motion, patted both of their backs. Startled and trembling, Unami and Kara jumped back in fear.

"Iyaaa, a snake!" Both of them exclaimed, their hearts racing, as they began to wipe their backs in fear, only to see the familiar face of Garnt.

"What in the world are you two up to?" Garnt inquired with an amused glint in his eyes, his head tilting to take a peek at whatever had interested them.

Unami heaved a sigh of relief, realizing it was only her lover. "Oh, Garnt," she said, "it's just you. We thought... well, you know, something strange was lurking here."

Kara nodded in agreement, a blush creeping onto her cheeks seeing it was none other than her own crush. "Yeah, we got scared for a moment."

Garnt raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Scared? At what? Let me see what's got you two so rattled."

Peeking around the tree with his girls, Garnt's eyes fell upon Baktou, standing nervously beside a woman with an aura of anticipation. Baktou's heart seemed to race, and his cheeks bore a crimson hue. Unami leaned in and whispered to Garnt, "It looks like Baktou is about to confess his feelings to that woman."

Garnt's eyes widened in surprise. "What? Baktou? Confessing his love?" He couldn't believe that he hadn't heard about this sooner.

Unami shrugged and lowered her voice. "Well, we didn't want to bother you with such a small matter, especially during this important time."

Garnt shook his head and chuckled. "Unami, don't talk nonsense. My brother's love life is important to me as well. If you had told me, I could have given him some advice. After all, that is what brothers are for?"

"I'm sorry for assuming things, Garnt. But don't worry, it looks like things are going rather smoothly." Unami reassured him since she had faith in her brother, after all, how could he not be attractive when he looked exactly like Unami?

With Unami and Kara's attention returning to the unfolding confession, Garnt found himself fixated on the woman by Baktou's side. As he observed her, a moment of realization swept over him. "Wait a minute," he said, his voice filled with astonishment, "I know her! That woman is part of my mother's medical team, and she is-."

Unami nodded in agreement, adding, "Her name is Telvi. She's been working closely with your mother for years. Baktou must have fallen hard for her."

Unami could easily see that Baktou admired Garnt more than he loved Telvi, and she felt rather relieved that he wouldn't fight with Garnt.

"Garnt, you heard our conversation, didn't you?" Unami asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

Garnt stepped out from behind the tree, a wry smile on his face. "I may have overheard a bit," he admitted. "This is weird,"

Unami chimed in, her tone soothing. "Garnt, we're not blaming you for anything. It's just one of those complicated situations, and it's up to Baktou to handle it from here."

Garnt nodded in understanding. "You're right," he then added his own thoughts. "I think you can make that girl fall in love with you. She is blindly in love with me because I rescued her, if you prove that you're more important to her life than me, maybe she will forget me."

"Well, that's how it is. Even Unami and Ayra are no exception. Their love only developed into something special because both parties had an interest. If you didn't make an effort to nurture their love, they would still be blindly loving you without any growth.]

Eva added the most obvious thing, when it came to the love life of humans.

Kara, who was listening to the whole thing looked like she was witnessing another version of her and worried that she might be like Telvi, but she had to quickly refuse her insecurities.

'No! I still have a chance, unlike those girls. They are not close to Garnt, and he doesn't even know them, but I already have a special relationship with him. I just have to prove that I can be both sister and lover to him'

Finally, after everything, Garnt decided to change the subject since he didn't want to talk about Baktou's love life anymore.

"By the way, have you visited the mines recently?" As soon as Garnt asked that, the atmosphere got more tense and serious, as they knew that the mine was a bloody place with many bad memories.

"Yeah, we've been putting in a lot of effort to improve security and working conditions down there," he replied. "It's been a long and challenging process, but I think we've finally made some real progress."

He continued, his voice filled with determination, "My new team and I have been working tirelessly to make the mine a safer place for everyone. We've installed new safety measures, improved ventilation, and provided better training for the miners. It's not perfect, but it's a significant step forward."

Baktou's eyes brightened slightly as he shared some positive news, "I'm happy to say that the first batch of iron ores is due to arrive today. It's a significant milestone for us. We're determined to ensure that the iron processing goes smoothly and safely, without any of the accidents or problems that plagued this place in the past. It's a step toward making the mine a place we can be proud of."

Garnt nodded in understanding, acknowledging the difficult work Baktou and his team had put into the mine's transformation.

"I knew my choice was right, keep up the good work brother,"
