Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Daddy was strict with me, so I thought of stepping up. Even though he didn't want to let me out of the house, I disobeyed him. Even using the cellphone, he didn’t allow me, so I had no contact with Neil. I really wanted to go out of the house to see Neil but he was strict with me. I begged him to allow me to see Neil but no matter what I tried to do, he would not allow me.

I can no longer understand Daddy why he is doing this to me. We are not involved in their business.

Why didn't they just let Neil be happy with me? Why doesn't he just let me be happy?

2 days grounded. I haven't seen or talked to Neil for 2 days. I begged to them. I begged Mommy Yuna but she couldn't do anything to Daddy and even Mommy Sheraine. I never thought they would be able to tolerate me. I know mommy wants to help me but they just can't really do it.

Why? Is it forbidden to love?

It's a good thing Daddy isn't here now. They have a business meeting today with Mommy Sheraine. Mommy Yuna helped me escape the house. I know Daddy will get angry for sure but I have to disobey what he wants.

“Hello,” I said over the phone. I can't wait to hear his voice again. I really missed him so much. Even though we only haven’t seen each other for 2 days, I feel like I’ve been lonely for a year.

“My love,” he gently replied. I closed my eyes tightly when I heard his soft voice. I also covered my mouth because I was crying in these moments.

I pulled the phone away a bit. I could hear him calling me but I couldn't speak because I was still crying. I was restraining myself but my emotions were getting worse.

I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes. I exhaled. I put the phone close to my ear again.

"I miss you so much, love," he said and the longing was in the tone of his speech.

My tears flowed again, so I immediately wiped them away.

I couldn’t speak because I was dominated by my crying.

“Love, I'm always waiting for you. I'm calling you but you're not answering my calls. I'm chatting you on messenger but you're not even replying. I want to visit you but your father and the guards are not allowing me. What we have to do now, love? ”

I immediately ended our call because I also couldn't speak. I don’t know what to say. I didn’t know how to tell him what was going on. I don’t know how I can say our parents were opposed for the two of us? I want to let him know everything. I want to say that the two of us just left, so we could get away from them. I just want us to stay away, so that no one will stop us.

I want to, but how? How will the people around us feel when the two of us walk away? I don’t want to hurt other people around me. Even if they hurt me, it's okay, but if to hurt them, I can't.

But what about me? What about Neil and I? We love each other.

I threw rocks into the sea. The clouds are overcast and I think it will rain again.

I tried to call him. He answered my call but he's not saying anything. We were both just quiet.

My mind went blank. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know why we are experiencing this. Why does something have to interfere with my relationship with Neil.

I thought of speaking even though I was stuttering. "H-h-h-hello?" I heard no response from him, so I just let it go. It is not his voice that I hear but noise.

I threw a rock into the sea again while waiting for him to speak. I stopped throwing the rocks and looked up. I was just standing on the sand. This is the place we often go. Many memories come back to my mind of this place. I don't want all of them to be just memories. I don't want to lose him anymore. I want to live my life with him.

Tears slowly trickled down my face as I looked up and watched the shady clouds.

“Love,” I whispered when I unexpectedly feel someone’s presence behind me. Gradually, something coiled around my waist. I feel his body behind me.

"I knew you're here," he muttered, so I turned to see him.

He's really here.

I immediately hugged him tightly and closed my eyes. I felt the lightness in my chest again as I hugged him.

“I missed you,” I whispered. I can't explain how I feel now that I'm with him again. I don't want to leave him anymore. I know we won't see each other again in a few days. It's up to what Daddy tells me.

He doesn't understand me. Even against his will, I disobeyed his command.

“Can we go to church?” he asked, so I let go and we hugged. I'm trying to read what's inside his mind right now.

“Anywhere you want,” I said.

Before we left, he kissed me on the forehead. As he wanted, we went to church. We knelt as he held my hand. He closed his eyes while I just stared at him. I also closed my eyes to pray fervently. I prayed to God that he would help us overcome the trial we face today. I know God is just testing us. I knew he was just testing the stability of my relationship with Neil. I know we can get through this.

I opened my eyes and smiled afterwards. I felt Neil looking at me, so I looked at him. He smiled at me and that smile was so bright. His smile was soothing. Loses the sadness.

"I will always love you, my love," he said almost in a whisper which softened my heart. I smiled back at that before we left the church.

I received a call from Daddy but I didn't answer it. I turned off my phone and out it back in my bag.

I enjoyed walking street with Neil. The weather was not hot because the clouds were overcast as if any time it would rain.

We held hands as we walked when the heavy rain suddenly poured down. We ran, holding each others hands. I put one hand on top of my head as we ran. We were soaked in the rain before we could even take shelter in a big tree.

We both laughed because we were both drenched in rain.

I wiped my face. The rain was still pouring hard and the breeze was cold.

Neil held my hand again, so I turned my gaze to him. He came in front of me as he held my hand. He stepped backward without letting go of my hand. I stepped forward to him. One last step.

We are looking into each other's eyes. We just let the rain flow through our bodies.

He put my hands on his shoulders. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer.

Are we going to dance in the rain again?

We both smiled and the rain pouring down on our bodies didn't stop. We were in the middle of the road and no cars were passing by.

I looked up at him. Admittedly,there is in my chest the feeling that I am in tears of joy. I felt tears dripping down my face, so I hugged him. I closed my eyes tightly.

We just continue in that situation. I still hugged him and let my tears flow with the rain.

"Don't leave me, okay?" I whispered and he nodded.

"I will always love you, love," he replied which caused my tears to flow down my face again. I was quietly crying.

That was probably the moment I will never forget.

I wept with joy and sadness even with the sheer weight of how I felt because of what was happening to us.

It's like I don't want to lose the hug. It's like I don't want to let him go. It's like I don't want to step away. I just want to stay by his side even if the whole world interrupts.

I will fight for him, I will fight for the two of us.

I don’t want to go home but I have to. I have to explain to Dad that I escaped to meet Neil.

I came home soaked in the rain. I went inside but I stopped in the middle. I have not yet entered the mansion but I am outside near the gate. I don’t know if I will continue or run away.

I turned and looked up. I let the rain drip on my face. I closed my eyes and the tears flowed from my eyes as the rain flowed down my face.

I was about to step when Daddy called me. I turned around even hesitant to face him.

Mommy immediately approached me. Mommy Yuna handed me the towel while Mommy Sheraine held the umbrella.

“Sweetheart, why are you here? Oh my God! You might get sick, ”Mommy Sheraine said worriedly.

“What are you doing, Shey. We're so worried about you,” said Mommy Yuna but there was concern in the tone of her speech and in her reaction.

I just went with them and didn't say anything more. We stopped in front of Daddy. I met Daddy's gaze. I know he’s angry but I feel like he’s worried about me somehow.

I want to speak but I can't.

They took me to my room. I went straight to bed until I realized that I had fallen asleep. I didn't even notice that I had a fever.

I woke up to find them here next to me and waiting for me to wake up. I immediately got up to leave but they stopped me.

Where am I? Why did I get angry? Am I in the hospital?

"What happened, Mommy?" I asked as I looked around.

“You are in the hospital, Shey. You got sick last Thursday. It's a good thing you woke up after 3 days of being unconscious,” Mommy explained. My eyes almost widened at what I heard.

"3 days?"

She nodded.

I immediately got up and pulled the needle out of my hand. I endured the pain even if it bleeds.

"Where are you going, Shey?"

"Please let me go, Mommy."

I'm not holding back anymore. I have to go. I have to get out of this hospital.
