Chapter 65: Chapter 65

I sat down eating lunch with Louisa and Marcus, we don’t meet always and she was not leaving in the mansion with us, she has kept her word and they weren’t married, but we all met on an occasional basis and I loved her since she was still adorable.

I have begun to call her mother and she was glad, this should be the void I have to fill since Jeffery was not here and I didn’t want Louisa to feel too lonely whereas I was still her daughter.

“Happy anniversary!” Louisa and Marcus said at the same time and I look at both of them surprised at whose anniversary we are celebrating.

“Today was the day you first began to sing.” She explained as she passed me a present and I smile.

“You remembered that?” I thought she would not since Jeffery said she hardly remembered his birthday, but I guess she kept a record of that and I was also her daughter. “Thank you for the present.”

“It has been six years now…” Louisa stares down at the bottom of her glass with a sad expression and I could already tell what she was trying to say.

“I miss him too.” I held her hands from across the table and she looks up into my eyes.

“is that the reason you would sing him a birthday song on October 17th?” I could see the sadness in her eyes, she was also in pain just like I was and Jeffery is wrong, Louisa never forgets his birthday.

“Yes.” Even if I can’t see Jeffery, I had decided to sing him a special song on his birthday and I have announced it live and hope he would tune on his TV and watch me sing for him if that could be the only way would reach to him.

“I will also tell him, I will tell him that for the first time, you remembered his birthday without looking at the calendar…” I blink back tears and Louisa’s eyes turned wet too.

“Did Jeffery tell you that?” She asked as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

“Yes, he said you were too occupied to even wish him a happy birthday, I wish he was here right now, at least there would be a broad smile on his lips at this moment.” I looked up to stop myself from crying.

“I believe I would see him one day, not as his mother, but as a mother in law to him.” I looked at Louisa and she flashed me a smile.

‘’Me too, as a father-in-law.” I look at my father who had just added and the tears I was holding back rolled down my cheek as if this was going to happen.

“He may have gotten married just to forget me, I don’t care if he does, all I want is to see him again.” I wipe my tears not wanting to give myself false hope, just like Russeli, Jeffery could be married and also with kids.

Cindy POV

Days went by, the show that would be a blast to the world was soon approaching, my live music, it has been broadcasted on many radio stations and almost everyone was waiting to hear it, and I also hope he was also waiting for it.

I had thrown a reunion party and had invited most of my classmates, they had honoured the invitation and we had a blast and there was a lot of things we discussed, seems everyone was doing well, a lot of them were married and most of them had kids too.

The only person who had not been present was Jeffery, D’mally and Chad had both come along but just like always none of them had heard anything from Jeffery, it seems he had disappeared into thin air with no clue, just like he had been hiding from me as he said.

He had made it clear to me that he won't let me go d him, and this was the only promise he had kept for good six years, it was funny, leaving was what be wanted and hiding away was what he sealed.

I may never find him but I hope this music I was about to sing reach him wherever he may be. I have made it clear at my last show that I would present a special song on this day and my prayer was for it to get to him.

I could hear the loud cheers from fans as I made my way down the hallway with my assistant and Professor Kim who walk with me.

"Cindy White, it seems that the whole world is waiting for your music, the streets are buzzing and the streets are filled, there are reporters and PDs also here to grace this show, many directors..." My assistant was talking nonstop but my attention wasn't there, I was thinking of Jeffrey.

I stood at the back curtains as I wait for the signal, I was wearing a white off-shoulder dress that sweeps the floor with glowing silver balls on the waistline and neckline, my fashion designer had personally made this outfit for me and I was looking like a princess in a fairy tale.

"And now we welcome our popular star, Cindy White!" The MC announce and the curtains open there was a loud cheer from the crowd calling put my name, a lot of signs lifted with my name boldly written on it, different sweet words, cheering words that could make you cry.

The stage light flashed on and the instrumentalist began playing the melody and I opened my lips to sing the words that I have written with so many emotions, the words that were filled with the memories I had with Jeffery.

The crowd went silent and tears rolled down my cheek as I remembered all the happy times I spent with Jeffery and all the sad moments and then finally the way he left, this was a special song filled with emotions of us.

"Cindy! Cindy! Cindy!" The crowd cheer as the stage light went off and I walked out of stage heading to the dressing room with my female assistant behind still speaking nonstop.

"Miss Cindy White you are very good." She gave me a thumbs up. "Where did you get such talents from, I wish I can sing like you..."

"I can teach you if you want," A broad smile spread through her lips as she nods in glee. "But first you have to send this back to the main room and prepare the car let's leave." I pointed to the box she would have to take to the main room and she got to work immediately.

I say down by the dressing mirror and looked at my image, I sighed. "He did not show up, just like other days, he must have disappeared," I muttered and closed my eyes.

"And who said so..." I heard a deep voice from behind and I turned immediately to see who it was and standing there was a tall handsome man on suit looking like one of those rich spoilt kids that walk into your life without notice.

I got up without hesitation and looked straight into the deep eyes that were start g at me intensely as a wave of emotion enveloped me.

"Jeffery, is that you?" I spoke as I had just seen a ghost and like my imaginations were making me hallucinate.

"Cindy." Jeffrey smile as he walked over to me but I frowned deeply and gave him a slap across his face. "Cindy." He looked at me and that smile he had put on disappeared.

"Are you married or do you have a girlfriend?" I asked immediately and his eyes dilated.

"Yes." He said without hesitation and then I pressed my lips together shocked at his response, this means he moved on, then why was he here, to mock me for singing to a married man who has forgotten me?

"Then disappear and never come back!" I spoke in anger and made my way to leave but he held me around my waist and pulled me close to him. "Let me go!"

"You forgot to ask me something." I look at his face waiting for the gibberish he was about to say. "You should ask me who the lady is." I wanted to laugh, was he also trying to make me jealous at the moment, does he want to boast about his newfound love.

"It is you, Cindy White." I blinked when he said that surprise at his words. "What am saying now is, don't you miss me? I told every lady I met that you are my girl..."

"Asshole!" I said as tears rolled down my cheek, if I was his girl then why did he leave. "Jerk, crazy person, son of a bitch...umm...umm..." I was crying as I try to think of other words to describe him but he kissed my lips to silence me as his lips assault mine.

"I am here now that is all that matters, it is my birthday how should we celebrate it?" He asked as he left my lips. "I missed you so much, Cindy."

"Happy Birthday Jeffery Walsh!"

He smiles and caresses my cheek. "Always the first..." He looked down at my lips and this time he came to me as his life depended on the kiss, I looped my hands around his neck and let him sway me with his kiss, leaving me breathless yet wanting for more.

"I love you, Cindy." He moans against my lips and I just kissed his lips like they were cherry and just like that, I had my Jeffery back to me.

"I love you, Jeffrey!"
