Chapter 126

“We talked about it.” Daddy said.

I kept calm and kept looking down. I have to avoid looking at them because there are only so many questions in my mind. “Bria called you and said that we were kidnapped and brought here, but no, we were not kidnapped. Then Bria gave you the address and the boys were waiting for you. We meant that you were the only one to use sleeping pills, so that you would not be conscious. They brought you here. We are just here next to you and we are just quietly watching you. Everything was planned, Shey,” he explained trying to understand me.

I closed my eyes tightly as his words kept coming back to my mind.

I can't fully understand it. There is something missing in his explanations. It was as if I was waiting to hear something he hadn’t said.

"I thought of setting up a date this way," Auntie Selenaya said.

So she thought of it?

Neil looked at her in surprise.

"Date?" Neil and I both asked.

Auntie nodded. “I just want to make up for all my shortcomings and correct my mistakes. So, yesterday, I talked to Pershey’s family to find ways and make plans for the two of you. I want you to get back together because you really love each other. It was only then that I realized I was wrong. Then I realized I was wrong when I saw you crying,” Auntie explained and looked at Neil. “... and I can do nothing but watch you. Sorry. Sorry for not being a good mother to you, son. Forgive me, Neil.”

I couldn’t help but feel touched by her explanations as I listened.

I feel that she is sincere.

Why does she only now realize everything?

She can now correct the mistakes she has made.

There is hope for us.

No one spoke but we all felt every word Auntie said. I feel like she’s remorseful and she really wants everything to be okay. Maybe it's because Neil left them, so she wants to fix their relationship with her son.

“It’s okay to me now, Mommy. I learned a lot from what happened,” Neil said while his eyes focused on me.

I just looked at them too and I thought of responding to their conversation. "So, there was no kidnapping really?" I asked.

I looked at them one by one and so did Neil.

They nodded and smiled on response.

"We want you to go back to the each other, Shey," said Caleb, so I turned my gaze to him.

“We know you love each other very much,” Leighden said, so I turned my attention to her.

“That's why we thought of making a plan for you two. This is it. We are really going to victimize you,” Sansa laughed a little at what she said, then her face suddenly became serious. "We did it for you," she added and the tone of her speech was also serious.

I was silent but my sigh was steady.

I understand. I'm glad they want Neil and me to get back together but I've been really worried about them before.

But it's okay too. I understood why they did that.

For Neil and me.

"Are you mad at us, Shey?" Mommy Yuna suddenly asked, so my spirit woke up suddenly.

I really thought before, they were kidnapped but it was all just a big gimmick ... but..I understand why.

They just did it so Neil and I could see each other again.

Supposedly, they were kidnapped, so I came here and this is it.

I looked up at her.

I let go of a sigh while thinking that it was all planned.

"Sorry, Shey," Mommy Yuna's angelic tone softened my heart. "We just want you to be happy," she added.

I didn't even say a word right away because I wanted to say that they made worried about them. I was so worried about them that I almost didn’t know what I was supposed to do. I want to say that I was insane then just like this. Not everything is true. But I can't say those things to them.

Do they want me to be happy?

“I’m not angry. I was just shocked, too much,” I replied even though there was a lot of confusion in my mind.

"We can't stand seeing you sad, Pershey," said Bria, so I barely looked at her.

Do they notice me? I thought I was the only one who knew the sadness I was feeling. I thought then that they did not notice that I was suffering from grief and that I was drowning in tears.

“You think maybe we don't see you sad? No, Pershey. We feel sorry for you every time your tears suddenly fall. We want you to be happy,” she added, so I can't help but remember everything especially when I suddenly cry.

It was as if I was going to cry at what I was hearing. I also feel ashamed of Neil.

"We want to correct our mistakes with you, Pershey," said Auntie Selenaya. She looked at Neil and me. "Neil, go ahead," she added and smiled

I could feel the pain in my chest with joy when those words came from her own mouth.

I managed to look at Neil and examine his every reaction.

“Go on. You two first. We want you to be happy,” said Auntie and I could feel her voice breaking.

My tears almost flowed when she uttered those words.

"... I want to see you happy," her voice cracked as her tears fell as she looked at Neil.

I can't hide my smile even though my chest hurts. I rejoice at the same time as it pierces my heart.

“We did it really for you. We even had to kidnap you for this,” said Samuel.

“Don't miss this opportunity again. Go back to each other.” There was a smile on Caleb's lips when he said that.

"No one will stop, no one will object," said Auntie while looking at me. She smiled but not fake. Although there were tears in her eyes, I could see in her eyes that she was happy.

It's also worth it. Worth it to be a prank because it happened. Even though they worried me a lot, it was okay. Worth it being insane earlier.

I'm happy somehow. I'm happy because I heard what I wanted to hear. This is it! It’s time for Neil and me. Now, we will put ourselves first. This is the opportunity provided for us.

This is what I have been asking for for a long time. Even though tears flowed down my face, this opportunity that I had been waiting for would come.

My long wish to God will be fulfilled.

Nothing will stop or object.

There is a chance for us.

I will be happy. Finally, I will experience happiness again.

“I want to see you happy and not see you always crying,” Daddy said and took my hand.

I smiled.

I see they are happy and supportive of us.

"Thank you," I said with all my heart, almost crying.

I turned my gaze to Neil who was also looking at me.

I stared him in the eyes and hopefully he knew what I was feeling and what I wanted to convey.

I managed to look at Auntie. I smiled at her and zhe responded to that with a smile as well.

"Thank you," I said almost in a whisper to Auntie.

Now, I feel better. It seemed as if the heavy burden of my chest had suddenly disappeared. My heart seemed to slip out of the cage.

With so much joy I felt, my tears dripped with joy. I laugh as it drips because I feel fun.

This time, it wasn’t me wiping my own tears but Neil’s. He reached for my face to wipe the tears from my face.

While his hands were still on my cheeks, I held it and smiled at him.

"We're going somewhere." that's what Bria suddenly said, so we lost our attention to each other.

I removed my hand from him and he returned to the chair.

I turned my gaze to them, to Bria, and noticed that she glared at them as if she were saying something by looking at them that way.

I was a little suspicious.

"Mommy, we are still going to the mall, remember?" I turned my gaze to Sansa when she said that.

“Oh! I almost forgot, Sansa. Good that you remind me about that,” she replied.

She suddenly stood up and was about to go which surprised me.

"We're still going somewhere," Daddy said.

They seemed to understand each other as they stood up to leave.

"Where will you go?" I asked.

"We're just going somewhere," Daddy replied. "You just stay here, okay?" he even reminded me that I was like a small child being told to stay where I was.

He kissed me on my forehead.

"We're leaving, Shey," Mommy Yuna also let me know and kissed me on the forehead and so did Mommy Sheraine.

"We'll leave you here, Neil," said Auntie Selenaya.

What's up? Why did they suddenly leave?

To my surprise, I just let them go.

They left but Samuel, Caleb, Fricks, and Draek, were left behind.

"Boys, won't you come with us?" Auntie gently asked them as she looked at them as if talking to them mentally.

“No need, Aunt,” said Caleb.

"Draek, you'll come with me, won't you?" There is something wrong with the tone of Leighden’s speech. Leighden looked at him. Draek looked at me first then immediately turned his gaze back to Leighden.

"Just like what I said, I'll come with you," he replied.

I noticed Leighden's signals to him and I knew what she meant.

"Samuel, we have a date, right?" I looked at Sansa.

Date?

“Oh, yeah. We have a date. ”

Fricks and Caleb were left alone.

I just feel like what Iries is going to say.

"You want to stay here, Luv?" Just like what I expected, she will speak.

“No.”

“Caleb, why don’t you come with me? It looks like we're good for each other. ” That's what Bria said funny.

Bria looked at him and he went with her.

All in all, in other words, they left Neil and I both here. It seems like they really meant to leave, so that Neil and I would be left here.

Before they finally left we heard them say ‘Enjoy your date.’

We both still laughed at what we heard. We are really the only ones left here.

"Are you sleepy?" he asked.

"I'm not sleepy," I replied quickly.

It is weird but I am lowering my head because I feel ashamed. I don’t know why I seem to be ashamed of him.

I avoid looking at him.

There are signs already. I just have to make moves.

Should I speak or just keep quiet?

I feel embarrassed.

I still remember. This is the place where he told me he didn’t like me and he wouldn’t like me.

I understood that.

I learned a lot from the stupid things I did before.

Am I going back now?

I stood along with a deep sigh.

I just stood there watching the stars in the sky. My arms are crossed over my chest. I breathed in the fresh air.

This is my first time of staying here at night. The view is beautiful. It is beautiful to watch the stars shining in the sky and it is nice to breathe the fresh air.

What will happen next? Because if I'm the only one to be asked, you know what I want to happen. I have many requests but God knows what my heart is really asking for.

God gave me signs. I feel we are destined for each other. Now, there is nothing to stop it. We can move on and we can start again. He's the only one I've been waiting for for 2 years.

Maybe that’s really when you learn to love. Neil and I were in love but something stopped us.

I waited and I knew he was the same.

Love can wait.

"Are you cold?" he asked behind me.

I took a deep breath along with a clear smile on my lips.

I can feel that he's standing behind me.

"It's not much," I replied but I'm rubbing my arms because I'm getting cold, suddenly ... unexpectedly, his arms suddenly wrapped around my waist.

I felt his chest behind me.

I can't really believe it. He's hugging me.

My heart is losing its excitement.

Only now did I feel the warmth of his embrace again. I miss him so much.

I drew an unmistakable smile on my lips. Until this moment, he has not removed his arms that are already wrapped around me.

Not only did I speak but my heart was screaming.

It feels so fucking good.

"I missed you," he suddenly whispered in my ears.
