Chapter 127

"Good morning," they greeted me when I arrived at the dining room. I also greeted them back as I walked. I opened the refrigerator then took the fresh milk then poured the milk into the glass I was holding.

It's too early.

As I remember, when I looked at the clock, it was only 6:00 AM.

I was about to leave the dining room when ...

"Why aren't you dressed properly?" I lowered my gaze to my body.

I also frowned slightly because of Bria's question.

I confronted them.

"Am I not dressed?" I asked.

Do I look naked? To describe my appearance today, I was wearing pajamas because I just woke up.

"I mean, aren't you going somewhere?"

I quickly replied, "Nothing."

"You don't have a date?" Mommy Sheraine asked.

"Date?"

I almost laughed, then shook my head.

I waited for them to ask more or if they still wanted to ask but didn't. They never spoke again.

Why do they think Neil and I have a date today?

I went back to the bedroom and stood in front of the window. I looked outside.

The sun is still rising.

Wait! Why does it look like a familiar car is just parked outside the gate.

Ah! Maybe Uncle Gong or Leighden. Never mind! It's early in the morning.

I stretched out on the bed again but my eyes were still open.

I was looking at the ceiling but my mind was floating in the air when I there was a suddenly knock.

I immediately opened the door and Bria's face opened up to me with a wide smile on her lips.

I was suddenly startled by her smile that almost reached her ear. It was as if something wanted to indicate her weird smile.

She kept on smiling while looking into my eyes. I waited for her to say something but she was still smiling. It was as if she had taken drugs.

"Why?" I asked to make her realize that I was here in front of her.

"You have a visitor," she said with a refreshing smile.

My other eyebrow rose at what she said.

"I have a visitor at this time?" I asked.

What guest would have thought to visit me at such an early hour?

"Who?" I asked again but instead of answering my question, she just smiled even more.

She asked, “Guess who?” Then she left without even answering my question of who my guest was today.

I didn’t even flake anymore, I went down to face my guest today.

I was still yawning as I entered the dining room.

My eyes widened and I voluntarily stopped walking when I saw them, saw him.

I stood at the doorway and was shocked at what I saw. My forehead is still slightly wrinkled.

What the heck! Seriously? This morning really? What did he eat to make him come here.

I just can't imagine he's here this morning. He didn't even notice.

Anyway, it's funny.

"Good ... morning," I greeted even though I was reluctant to approach.

"Take a sit, sweetheart."

At least, I sat down. I was ashamed of my guest. I haven't even brushed and taken a bath yet. I still didn't change or even comb my hair.

My head was slightly bowed as I held the glass but I kept looking up at him.

Guess who my guest is today? None other than Neil Nathaniel Samson.

I looked at the clock above the door. It's 6:20 AM.

I swallowed the milk that had stocked in my mouth.

"Let's eat, Neil," Mommy Yuna invited.

"All right, Auntie," he replied.

I don’t know to whom and where to turn my gaze. I miss Neil. I haven't even been able to fix myself yet.

What do I look and smell like now?

“We have a question,” Dad said suddenly. I remained silent.

"WE have a question?" Mommy Sheraine asked and emphatically she pronounced the word 'WE'?

"I mean, I have," he corrected what he said earlier.

I focused my gaze on the food, so I wouldn’t feel disgusted with Neil every time I turned my gaze to him.

But it wasn't like last night that I didn't even know he hugged me.

I haven't felt his hug in 2 years. 2 years I haven’t heard the word ‘I miss you’.

I felt so relieved in those moments as he hugged me.

My longing for him diminished. The bait in my chest was somehow reduced and replaced by fun.

We can start again. We can continue the love we lost then.

This is our time. Am I going back? Of course, that's it.

"Did you come back to my daughter yet?" Daddy suddenly asked and almost choked the water I drank. Neil immediately reached for the water AGAIN.

I'm just honest with him.

Wait! What was the reason for him coming here?

I looked up at him before I could answer Dad's question.

"Not yet, Uncle." Neil replied.

"Why not?" they asked, so we were both excited.

“Come back to her. I want to be the maid of honor at your wedding,” Bria replied as she took something from the refrigerator.

I just keep smiling.

I really want to say that I'm really waiting for Neil to make the first move.

Does he plan to come back to me or will he just wait for me for nothing?

BUT, as I always say, love can wait. Don't rush too much so as not to get hurt.

"I really have something to say, so I'm here," said Neil. "I want to ask personally," he added.

“Yes, we agree. Our daughter is yours. Just don't hurt or make our Señorita cry again, okay? ” those were immediately what Dad said that I could hardly believe.

I laugh at what he has already said but I just hold back. Neil almost laughed too but he just passed by with a wide smile.

"Uncle, Aunties, I'll just ask if—"

“Yes, we agg—”

"Pethe, shut up!" Mommy Sheraine's rebuke. I laugh at Daddy’s reaction.

I'm excited to know what he has to say.

"Can I court your Señorita again?" he asked.

Bria almost slammed the refrigerator because of Neil's question. Daddy and Mommy were suddenly silent and still looking at each other.

For me, it's like soluble ice cream.

“As long as I am, if I am asked, I am willing. When is the wedding? ” I suddenly laughed at what Bria said.

They are hilarious. They are very supportive of me now.

“We agree. Just don't hurt our princess, do you understand?”

"Yes, Auntie Yuna."

”But don’t forget to treat her well. We know you are kind and you will not hurt my sweetheart. Don’t make her cry again, okay? ”

"Yes, Auntie Sheraine."

I can't speak. I feel like I'm quietly going crazy.

"Even if we agreed, of course, we are not the one to be followed," said Daddy that's why I looked at him to determine what he means by saying those.

I know what he means so I can’t help but smile always.

"Ask our Señorita," said Mommy Sheraine.

Neil turned his gaze to me, so suddenly my chest felt like it was throbbing while waiting for him to ask me.

Time seemed to slow down as if I was nervous. I feel my cheeks getting hot.

"Can I court you?"

I was speechless but I was just an idiot.

I no longer feel nervous but happy and thunderous.

"Can I refuse?" I asked, laughing a little at what I said. I seriously said, "Yes, you can again."

There were smiles that could not be hidden on our lips.

Bria and maids, seem to be mental refugees now. They were pounding the pots with spoon and fork and Bria.

I'm feeling happy now that I just now felt again. How long have I waited for it? Because I waited for him for a long time.

We can start the story of our love again.

"I'm the maid of honor ah."

We laughed at what said.

"I'll take care of the venue."

"Solve your gown, Shey," Mommy Yuna said.

We just kept laughing for joy.

The sweetness of feeling fattening the heart.

Even if we failed then, we can start again now.

I won't let him go again.
