Chapter 36: Chapter 36

While inside the car, they were just quiet.

As time goes on, Ashy feels Paul's heart drift away. She feels that even when they're together, his mind and heart is so far away.

She doesn't know why, nor does he say that he has a problem. She is also ashamed to ask because she doesn't want him to think that even before they get married, she is becoming possessive. Well she's not that kind in any way. She's not taking advantage with what they have.

She felt jealousy, that is normal specially if the person is dear to you. But never once was she became possessive. In her relationship with Paul, she never saw any reason to be jealous other than work wherein she accepted it yo be her rival when it comes to Paul's attention.

It's because they are busy at work and it looks like they will have problems there.

Later, her cellphone rang.

"Hello," she replied after putting the cellphone to hwr ear.

"Hello ma'am, this is in the food department of the hotel for your wedding reception. I just want to remind you about our schedule tomorrow for food tasting, "said the woman on the other line.

Ashy turned to Paul, who was still focused on his driving. It's like he's been thinking so deep that he didn't notice that she was on the phone.

"Ahh ok ma'am, we'll come. Thank you for reminding us." She replied, then put down the cellphone.

She turned her gaze to Paul.

"Hon, the hotel management called for our food tasting schedule tomorrow. We can't not go because it's food. The guests will going to eat it." She stared at him. She hopes that he will accompany her because that is exactly what it should be.

The expression on his face changed as if his reaction would be negative again. He touched his senses as if his head ached at what she said.

"It's really very wrong timing, how do I say this. I have a seminar tomorrow hon. I'm in-charge there, so I can't be with you again. " his reasoning then frowned upon.

"Maybe you can just ask Storm to attend the seminar." Sh e touched his shoulder so that she could ease its tenderness, but it didn't seem to have any effect on him.

"Hon, that seminar is important to me. All the abilities of the new employees depend on it. They can't make mistakes, so I have to focus on them. A few mistakes can put the company in trouble. So I can't be without them. Knowibg Storm, he won't last here. I doubt it if he interferes with the business here. There are businesses abroad that he also needs to take care of online. " his explanation. Can it really be considered an explanation or just one of his excuses?

Ashy didn't say a word. Her head was hot and she didn't want to start it again when they didn't understand each other. As much as she could, she would understand it.

"Are you upset? Why don't you talk about it?" Paul asked again. He noticed Ashy's silence, which he didn't usually do.

"If I speak, will you listen?" It was a spicy question for him.

"Of course, but if you insist that I choose food tasting over the seminar tomorrow, I'm sorry, I can't really forgive you," he replied bluntly.

"Well, then why should I talk? You're the one to be followed, aren't you? You'll only go where you're comfortable with. If you want to go, that's all you can go. Why should we continue this wedding? if you have less time in preparation and you are spending all your time with your job? " Ashy couldn't even control herself. Even though she didn't want to do that, she was also forced because she was pressured by what her future husband was doing in front of her.

"I'm working for our future. I can't let my soon-to-be family live a hard life. "its variation of conversation.

"Paul, that's not the issue here. It's just me. No matter how busy you are, you still have time to prepare for our wedding. At least that's the free time you can give. That's why every time we have a schedule, you get busy arranging things about business. Sometimes I think that you really don't want to marry me. Maybe you're just being forced. We can just put it off. " Ashy was serious about her words.

Paul just looked at Ashy. It weighs whether she is serious about what she is saying.

"Hon, understand me. Maybe it's not that hard to understand ..."

"When did I not understand you, Paul? I do that all the time. From the reception I went alone, to the fitting, and now Storm is with me again. If you can't be with me, then I will go alone again like a fool. " Ashy couldn't control herself anymore.

Paul caressed her face. He didn't know how the explanation he would make to Ashy. Because even he himself doesn't know how to be true to her.

"I'll just ask Storm to join you tomorrow for food tasting. He knows the types of food. His way of taste is even better than mine. Besides, it's good that he's not busy tomorrow. That's okay with him, can't he? " he smiled at her as if he didn't care what she could feel.

"Are you going to order Storm again? Aren't you aware that we shouldn't be close anymore? I thought you already knew that we had a past. Why do I feel like you want us to be together even more? Are you like that? -insensitive Paul? " she stared at him carefully, then raised her eyebrows.

"I can't see anything wrong with that hon. I'm even more comfortable because I know Storm. I know you're safe with him." its stubbornness. That's really how he knew his brother. If it could know that something had happened to them. Will his trust in him remains the same?

The sullenness was obvious in his voice.

She couldn't understand why it was so insensitive to the things she felt.

She didn't realize if he had a lot of trust in him or maybe he was just observing him. Just testing how true he really is to him.

She suddenly felt scared at the thought.

"What's wrong with Storm? I can't see any. The truth is that I'm comfortable knowing that you are with him. I'm peaceful even in a distant place when I know he's with you." He looked at her and turned his attention back to the driver.

"I'm not, I'm not comfortable with him. If there's one person I shouldn't be with, it's him."

"Why do you seem to be very much affected by his presence?" it puckered when he looked at her.

He does not spill. She just looked outside. She didn't want him to notice that she wanted to avoid his brother. As time goes on, while they were together tje feelings never vanish. She can feel it everytime. . Gradually, her feelings for him just awaken, the feelings that she wanted to fprget.

"Is there something that I need to know? I know you have a past. So what? I'm the one you will marry and I'm the one you love, right? Ohh, maybe there's another reason for you to be misled every time you're together? " He stared at her as if he was accusing her of being a cheater.

"You're talking nonsense, Paul. Don't divert our conversation. Aren't you ashamed of your brother? He's already been there in everything you should be doing. From the smallest things about our marriage that you should know, it's all thrown to him. " Ashy snorted. She was about to really point it out.

She doesn't understand, but it's only a matter of time before she won't continue their marriage.

"You might be forgetting Ashy. He's my brother and I should expect no one else but him. Now if it's an issue with you that he's always with you, I don't think that's a problem. Maybe you're the only one with a problem. Why are you affected by your past every time you're together? When you're together, do you think that you should just marry him? Is that the reason why you don't want to be with him? Ohh, is there another reason? "It is a serious question to her.

"Did you really think about that? You thought about that, but you didn't think that you were becoming irresponsible in your obligations. You're already failing. How much more when we're married? Maybe even the simple things that are obligatory. I'm a wife. I can't do it anymore because you're busy enriching yourself. Why Paul? What else do you have to prove? You already have almost everything in the world. What else is missing in your life? " It is a tearful question.

He did not answer her and suddenly he stopped the car. She also realized that they were already in front of their house.

She wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes.

"I wouldn't be surprised if at our wedding itself you weren't there either." After saying this, she opened the car and got off.
