Chapter 43: Chapter 43

"Hello, Kendall."

"Jacob called you."

"What happened to you? Why aren't you even visiting the house? You're making everybody worry again!"

"I-I haven't got a time yet. Don't worry I'll make a way to visit next week."

"Can't you do it next weekend? I think grandpa misses you a lot lately. Although he's not saying anything but I noticed that almost all the time he has no words but your name."

"I-I can't next weekend. B-Grayson's birthday."

Jacob was silent for a moment. "By the way Kendall, how's the condition of that guy now?"

I-That's good. "

Kendall heard the brother's deep sigh.

"He still doesn't remember you, does he?"

"H-still not ..."

"Kendall, I hate to say this but I need to. Stop hoping. I told you I don't want to see you hurt. The old Grayson that you know might not return anymore. You're maybe hoping for the best now but don't forget to expect for the worst too ... I'm the doctor and I know better. "

It was a long time before the girl could speak. When he opened his mouth he spoke in a lively voice. "What are you saying Jacob? I've accepted that for a long time. And it's just work that's why I'm still by Grayson's side today."

"I hope you're telling the truth ... I have to hang-up now that I have a patient. Don't forget to find time to visit at least Grandpa. Bye!"

"Bye."

Dropping the phone Kendall remained standing and just stared at the wall of the room. He knew that the last thing he said to his brother was untrue but he also felt that it was not a pure lie.

Is he gradually considering Grayson as a job?

Ever since Grayson confronted him about his secret past they had become increasingly cold in his dealings with him. It does everything in its power to push him away. He tries to be strong. He insisted on not giving up. But in recent days his heart has gradually become numb. With the amount of pain she went through, she was confused about how she really felt and it seemed that her view of the man was changing.

She could no longer see here the hope that the Grayson she loved and loved her would return again. He felt that he was used to suffering because of his promise not to leave. And as the day got closer and closer that he feared it would go to another woman, his heart became harder and harder. She loves Grayson but that doesn’t mean she will deny herself the ability to learn to accept the truth. If his memory ever came back but it was too late, he knew it wouldn't hurt him. Because he did something for it. Fought for. Dear. And not left.

Right now he just wants to finish all the reasons why he has to stay by Grayson's side. He's ready to go back to the real world he's in. In the world he first loved, the world next to guns and ammunition.

Tok.Tok.Tok.

He opened the door and Grayson opened it for him.

"Get ready I'm going to racing venue after an hour."

"Okay," he casually replied.

"Grayson what do you want to wear?"

She looked at the speaker. He saw Cady. He was leaving the man's room with a polo shirt. In recent days, women have been going home more and more. He shrugs his shoulders as well if sometimes it is here that he sleeps. This was among the things he accepted.

"All right Grayson I'll fix it," he said calmly once the door closed with a blank face.

-----

While driving to the racetrack, Kendall's cellphone rang. He looked at the person next to him before answering.

"Go ahead. Answer your phone," Grayson said casually.

He put on a headset and answered the phone.

"Hi Kendall!"

Suddenly his voice brightened when he heard Noah' voice.

"Noah! Have you arrived yet?"

"Yap. I just arrived. I'm still in the airport now."

"How was your trip to Dubai?"

"That's good. By the way I called to ask if how can I give you all the things you ordered to meet."

Kendall smiled. "Did you buy everything?"

"Of course. I know how crazy you are with chocolates and sweets. I'd exerted a lot of effort just to find the brand you like so I think I deserve a prize," the young man joked.

"Yes! Thank you Noah."

"How about a dinner tomorrow night?" the young man asked.

"D-Dinner?" stunned Kendall said.

"Yeah ... I told you, you must give me a prize."

Suddenly the smiles on Kendall's face flickered. "Ahhh ... I don't know yet. Just call me. All right, Noah, I'm driving. We'll talk later. Bye."

"Okay bye!"

When the phone rang, Kendall looked straight at the road. He did not look at the neighbor.

"You're getting closer to him lately," Grayson commented.

Kendall didn't say a word. He just gave the speaker a simple nod. It was right. He is getting closer to the colleague. Gradually he became comfortable with it. This is the only thing he often talks to every time his chest seems to explode with pain. Only Noah makes way for him to smile at the moments Grayson pushes him away. Although he doesn’t breathe resentment into Noah but it spontaneously feels when he feels something heavy and it does everything in his power to make him happy.

No special look was brewing from him for Noah. He still doesn't love it but he can't deny that he deepens his view of it as a friend ... because during these times, only the young man can lighten his mood.

"Are you in a relationship with him already?" Grayson asked again.

"We're just friends."

"Why not give him a chance to date you? I- I think you're good for each other."

Kendall took a deep breath as he looked at the road seriously. The man pushed her again. Sometimes he wants to hit it too. His patience is becoming more and more exhausting. He just kept thinking about the word understanding. Because he will only be by his side for a little while.

"By the way this time, I allow him to visit you in my house."

Kendall turned to the neighbor. He forced himself to give it a sweet smile. Despite all the resentment, pain, and heaviness of feeling he was experiencing there was something he could not do. To show Grayson that he was hurt. All he wanted was for her to still remain happy in its eyes. He didn't want to pull it down with his heavy chest. She wanted to prove that to the end she could keep what she had promised herself and Don Arthur that she would do everything to keep the man happy.

"Grayson, it's Sunday tomorrow and you don't have a walk at night, can I go out first?"

"Uhmm ... I'm not sure yet I might suddenly have a walk. Why? Where are you going?"

"We're just going to have dinner outside with Noah," Kendall said without hesitation.

Grayson was silent for a moment. Count a few seconds before it can answer. "Okay. I'm just not going to take a walk if there ever is."

"Thank you."

-------

Grayson walked back and forth in the room. Restless and occasionally looking at the watch. He also called the intercom to talk to the guards.

"Still nothing ?!"

"Still no sir. I'll just call you as soon as we see their car coming," the guard replied.

It was close to midnight but Kendall was still gone. It's been five hours since Noah picked it up. It says just have dinner. What kind of dinner takes five hours? Her ears were ringing with concern and anger. What was running through his mind.

"Ahhhh!" furiously he kicked a chair.

He sat up in bed. He had his face washed several times and had his head scratched. She is already struggling to control her emotions. He kept telling himself that he couldn't love Kendall but his feelings for the girl still didn't subside. Instead it gets even stronger as the day goes on. As a result, his desire to push it away intensified. But at these times he seems to be going crazy. He regretted that he had allowed the woman to date him.

Moments later the intercom rang. He was in a hurry to answer it. "What now?!"

"It's here sir."

He ran downstairs to the living room as if his chest would explode with mixed feelings.

Smiling, Kendall and Noah got out of the car. They happily said goodbye to the driveway.

"Thanks for tonight Kendall. If you only knew how happy I am. I'm really grateful that you gave me that."

"Asus! It's nothing compared to the favors you're giving me. Thanks too. I'm enjoying it too today. All right Noah I'm a little late coming in. You too take a break. Thanks again ha!"

The girl was about to turn around but the young man suddenly pulled one of her hands. He presented it and without saying a word kissed it on the lips.

Kendall was shocked. He was unable to move his whole body in shock.

While Grayson could clearly see what was happening. Her eyes widened and it seemed that something suddenly flicked her head causing her to temporarily lose herself. Irritated he approached the two. Without hesitation he separated them and fearlessly punched Noah in the face.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING ?!" he shouted at the fallen young man.

He was going to do it but Kendall stopped him.

"Grayson stop! What's wrong with you ?!" confused weaned the maiden.

Noah stood up. Smiling, he rubbed the affected part of his face. Weighing in he just gave Grayson a brave look. "How about you Grayson? What do you think you're doing? You're being inappropriate. You're not in the right shoe to react this way!"

"Inappropriate? You are the one who's being disrecpectful here. YOU CAN'T JUST KISS ANY GIRL RANDOMLY!"

Noah smiled foolishly again. "That woman isn't just an any girl to me Grayson."

Even before the situation worsened, Kendall intervened. He pulled Grayson away and faced Noah again with a serious face. Even she was not happy with the kiss it made her.

"All right Noah, go away ... we'll talk later."

Arriving inside the house Grayson's anger still wouldn't subside. He bombarded the girl with questions as she walked into the room.

"Why did you lose time ?! I let you but don't you think you're being abusive? How could you be gone for more than five hours ?!"

"Where did you go ?!"

"Are you in a relationship with that guy already? Have you answered him yet?"

"Aside from dinner what else did you do ?!"

"Did you enjoy your date?"

"Did you enjoy his kiss?"

"Why didn't you get angry when he kissed you ?!"

"ANSWER ME Kendall !!!!"

Kendall stopped and calmly faced the irritated man. He looked at its blushing face and spoke calmly. "We ate, watched a movie, went for a walk in the park and talked. Is Grayson okay?" He continued walking.

"Tell me how you feel!" "Do you like him already?"

"YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED WELL YET Kendall!"

Kendall turned around again and in that moment he was also unable to control his emotions. "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING LIKE Grayson? I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T CARE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE PUSHING ME WITH Noah? WHAT ARE YOU ANGRY ABOUT ?!"

Grayson was stunned. He suddenly woke up to the strength of the girl's cry. He had nothing to answer. He cannot admit the truth here. He can't be wrong with Cady again.

"Kendall ..."

Kendall took a deep breath repeatedly. He was trying to calm himself. He stared into the eyes of the speechless speaker. "Grayson please, stop whatever you're doing right now. Don't you ever show this reaction again .... because I don't want to think of another meaning why you're acting like this. That's right Grayson ... I hope you understand sometimes it's tiring to look forward to. "

"Kendall ..."

The girl continued walking to the room and slammed the door shut while Grayson was left standing motionless with a confused face and tears streaming down his face.
