Chapter 88: Chapter 88
…
After Simoune's meeting, she didn't make time for him and Bruce didn’t talk because he knew Simoune was tired from school and work, so Bruce did nothing but sleep next to her. Since the death of Simoune's daddy, the relationship between the two of them seems to have darkened
Bruce should be able to understand Simoune's situation but there is a part of him that sulks because Simoune can't do it even if he gives her even a little time. Can Simoune understand Bruce's feelings or will Bruce continue to keep his feelings a secret?
SIMOUNE
I saw daddy sitting on the sofa, I immediately hugged him and immediately cried in front of him. I know I'm only in my dream I'm happy that even in the dream I kissed and saw Daddy
"Why haven't you eaten until now? Starving yourself is not good for you, Simoune, look at yourself your losing weight, Give value to the dish your Nanny Lily cooks for you, it's tiring but she still wakes up early just cook you breakfast" Daddy said
"Dad-ddyyy, Sorry, it's hard to start without you daddy, it's so hard!" I said while crying
"You have to fight Simoune, always remember that I'm still here and supported by you, I'm not physically here but you will always feel my presence in all the battles you face" Daddy said
I hugged him tightly while I cried, I couldn't say anything, only tears came out of me because I knew that even though I saw him in my dream, I would never see him again and be with him somewhere else
"Eat that, don't think about me, think about yours and the people around you" Daddy said
"Dad—dyyyy, the work you do is hard, how can I do it? I'm not even smart and I'm not as good as you" I said
"Dear, there are many problems that will come so you have to be strong. This is not the only problem that you will face Simoune, there are many more so you have to hold on and believe that you can solve everything" Daddy said

I woke up when Bruce patted me
"You're having nightmares so I'm forcing you to wake up" Bruce said
I hugged Bruce and then I cried
"Why what happened?" He asked
"I dreamed about Daddy, and the pain was very fresh for me" I said
"Do you want to eat? It's been a few days since you haven't eaten and I'm worried about you but I'm not telling you because you might feel bad for me" He said
I didn't do anything but agree to eat because I hadn't eaten in days, I couldn't even feel my body because I knew I was losing weight after what happened. We went down to the kitchen, I watched Bruce cook for a few minutes before he gave me his home made carbonara
“Really Carbonara?” I said while smiling at him
"I know you love carbonara so that's what I cooked, just tell me if you want more and I'll cook it again when you're hungry" He said
The smell made me hungry for his cooking, so in less than a few minutes, I finished the carbonara he made, so he was amazed because of how quickly I finished what he made.
"Do you still want to?" He asked
"Yes, please" I said
He cooked for me again, and because I was hungry I had three plates of carbonara. We went up to the room again and then I went to sleep because it was too early
—
I woke up and it was exactly 6am, it was wonderful to see that I was going to wake up in Bruce's arms. Somehow I'm trying to be okay because of what daddy said, what if I have a problem and then I'm still in a problem and I can't forget it? I'm the only one who will have a hard time.
I got up so Bruce woke up immediately, we went down to the kitchen and saw Nanny Lily cooking breakfast
"Good morning to you" Nanny Lily said
"Good morning too Nanny Lily" I said
"Have you eaten here, especially Simoune, did you eat yesterday?" She asked
"I ate last night so don't worry" I said
"You dreamed about your daddy, didn't you?" She asked
"Yes, and it looks like he really doesn't want me to go hungry" I said
Bruce and I served food and then we started eating
"What's the news about your work, can you do it?" Nanny Lily asked
"Nanny Lily, I'm still changing a bit, but of course I have to do it because we won't get any money if I don't work" I said
"I know you can do it, if you need to rest, rest. Okay?” Nanny Lily said
“Okay!” I said
After I finished eating, I immediately took a shower and cleaned myself. My thought was right. I went down in the living room because Bruce was waiting for me. We both said goodbye to Nanny Lily and then we headed to the car
"Text me later after your class" Bruce said
"Yes, I have my phone with me" I said
We were on the road in silence while I looked around the scenery. When we got to my school, I immediately got off and then said goodbye to him.
"Be careful driving" I said
"Yes, be careful. I love you" Bruce said
"I love you too" I said
I waved and walked into the campus, Clarisse came up to me holding our research paper
"Simoune, we need to revise another part of our research because after this we will have to defense. We need to pass our research today" Clarisse said
"Huh!? I thought we were waiting for approval?" I asked
"I thought so too, but since they found minimal errors, we need to fix it" Clarisse said
…
Because of Simoune's rush to do their research, she didn't notice the messages from Bruce, because he told her that Bruce would be busy because of the research they were revising. Simoune's class was over but because Bruce was busy, he couldn't look at his phone
Simoune waited for a few minutes for Bruce's reply but he didn't reply so she immediately packed her things and she and Clarisse went outside their campus, they had been waiting outside for almost an hour so you can see it on Simoune's face the annoyance and anger
"Do you want me to take you to your house? Maybe you have work or you'll be late" Clarisse said
Simoune couldn't refuse and immediately got into Clarisse's car
"Maybe Bruce is busy with his research paper too so he couldn't pick you up today" Clarisse said
"But I hope he's saying that I'm not waiting for nothing" Simoune said
Simoune's annoyance and anger did not go away until she arrived at their house, she immediately went down and said goodbye to Clarisse and thanked her as well. She immediately went to her room and turned off her phone then she started working
On the other hand, Bruce suddenly remembered Simoune because he suddenly looked at the clock, when he saw that his phone was full of messages from Simoune and even missed calls. Bruce tried to call Simoune but she could not be reached so he did nothing.
After their class, Bruce went to Simoune's house, but when he opened the door to Simoune's room, it was locked. Bruce didn't do anything else so he went home because he knew Simoune wouldn't pay attention to him, because Bruce was so tired he immediately fell asleep
Will the two get along right away or will the fight between them get worse?
