Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Days are gone when they were together. Not talking too much, Ashy couldn't understand why she felt jealous of what she saw. She couldn't get it out of her mind, so she just chose not to talk about it.

There were times she talked to him, but more often she didn't.

Sh e also has no other choice but to talk to each other because they are the only ones together.

Storm had been treated her like a Princess, when she wakes up she will just eat. Not even one of the housework she does.

Storm also takes care of the plants, so even when it rains he is in the garden to fix and clean the fields.

One night, while Ashy was sound asleep, she was thrown out of bed.

She heard a growl that she could not understand where it was coming from.

She slowly opened the door. She heard the growl coming from the room next to her. She frowned as she slowly stepped closer to it.

She opened the bedroom door and saw Storm lying on the bed. Covered with a blanket and obviously trembling.

Though hesitant, she approached him.

She would wake him up to feel the heat of her skin on his skin.

"Storm, your temperature is so high. " she was worried because she didn't expect those with him to think that they were the only two in that house.

"Wait a minute, huh? I'll look for medicine downstairs. Wait for me, "she said, and she immediately went downstairs to look for medicine.

While looking for some medicine, she did not know what to do. She sat down on the floor and hugged herself. There she felt how important Storm was in her life, and there she realized that he was right and ahe was wrong. Until that time, he was still the one she loved.

She goes back to her court and she go to find the cure.

When she got it, she immediately took some water and quickly climbed up.

Ahe also prepared a wipe for Storm.

She helped him get up and gave him medicine. She unzipped it and extended his blanket to relieve the cold he was feeling.

She hugged him tightly. Until he even fell asleep in that position.

The next morning, she woke up finding herself still huging Storm. His fever is no longer high.

She went down to prepare something for them to eat. After a while, she returned to Storm's room.

She saw that his eyes were wide open and he didn't seem to be feeling well.

She laid the tray of food on the table and made the bed.

She sat down next to Storm to help him with tje food.

"Let me do it. I can manage." The latter refused to obviously change Ashy's demeanor.

"It's me, let me do this. I'm making up from you spoiling me. " she smiled at him then shot again.

After eating, she gave his medicine to drink.

"Next time, don't saty outside when it rains, you can't catch them all. You're feeling superman because you can't do it. Those plants can survive even if you don't always fix and clean them, " she scolded him.

Storm, on the other hand, ignored her words. He felt like the former Ashy had returned that he could hardly feel anymore.

"The plant is like a human being. If you don't take care of it, it will disappear and die. Even if you know you will be harmed, even if you know you will be hurt, you will still take care of them. Even if they are just plants, they are a big part of my life. It's like you. , I neglected you, "he held her hands and tears rolled down his eyes.

"Storm,"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry if you thought I left you. If it's planted in your mind that I chose my parents and Girlie more than you. I'm sorry because I couldn't wait. I'm sorry I didn't fight for you and I'm sorry if you thought you just ignored by me, "he cried for a long time.

It was only then that she saw Storm become emotional. Ahe felt his sincerity as he apologized. She knew that everything that happened was painful for the two of them and she didn't expect that he would feel so much pain.

"It's all over Storm. There's nothing we can do because it's already happened. Let's just accept what's really for us. Let's just accept what the fate and outcome of everything we've started is. That's all that can help us to be a whole. " Ashy wiped the tears from her eyes. Then, the silly got up from bed.

"Are we really this far? Can't you open your heart for me? It must be too much but can't you forgive me for whatever I did wrong to you?" Storm tried to reach for her hands. He held it tightly so she could feel the love coming from his heart.

"I've forgiven you for a long time, Storm," was its sparing reply, turning slightly to the speaker.

"If you've forgiven me. Why can't you love me like before? Why can't you choose me? Why, despite everything I'm doing, is he still the one you want to marry? "

"Yes, I forgive you. But that doesn't mean that I will choose you. I forgive you because I don't want to feel pain in my heart. I forgive you, but that doesn't mean I will leave your brother and be with you. I forgive you because that's what it is. I have to do it. I'm still going back to Paul because he's the one I'm going to marry. " Ashy stood by her words. She can't hurt other people. It doesn't matter if she sacrifices, the important thing is that she will not be the reason to hurt others.

"Do you love him?" Later, Storm asked

"He's important to me. He made me feel how important I am to him and I know he loves me. Yes, I love him, and I won't let him get hurt because of me or you, "she stared at him as if that was the last time she should ask.

Storm looked at her in his blank reaction. Doubt can be seen in his eyes. He has things he wants to say, but he struggles with them. He didn't know how long Ashy would stand by her words.

"Don't you love me anymore?" A simple but serious question came from his lips. He wanted to regret that he had asked this because he might just be offended by what she could answer. He just closed his eyes as he waited for the answer.

Ashy was taken aback by Storm's question. She could barely breathe as he stared at her, who was then blindfolded. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes, but she tried to hold back.

"I loved you, I loved you and the whole world witnessed that love. All my life, I have loved no one but you. I have trampled on my principles in life just to love you, even if it is wrong. I know that in the end, I will also be hurt. I gambled. I bet my shame because I love you so much. Because of that love, I swallowed all the shame I had. You had such a strong impact on my life, "he faced him so that he could better understand everything she had to say.

Storm looked at her as if confused by what she was saying. He stared at her and he felt the pain in her heart.

"I'm just an idiot, because I hoped that I would be the one to choose. I believed in the things that were formed in my mind. I have been hopegul tht you will choose me over anything, because I'm the one you love. -hopefully when you say I'm the one you want to be with forever and not him. But what happened? " he stopped momentarily while speaking.

Storm's face was full of questions as if he didn't know what he was saying.

It just remained silent and seemed to have no plans to speak.

"Nothing happened because everything you promised was nailed down. All promises just vanished. You came to the point that you also left me on the air hanging. You chose her even though you knew I would be hurt so much that I almost died. But I managed. I stood up straight. I managed because I didn't have anything. So I don't understand now why you have to do all this. Sometimes I thought that maybe you just really don't want me to marry your brother, you don't want your family name to stick on me, " she stared at him as if she was sure enough to awaken his guilt.

"Whatever my reason is, you can't understand. All I want is for you to give me a chance to prove myself to you. A chance to prove to you that I never gave up on any of my promises. I want you to see that you are the only one I love .... "

"That's right Storm, this has no destination. Get well, I want to go home, "that's all, and he finally left the room.
