Chapter 24 - Miss You Very Much.
Chapter 24 – Miss You Very Much.
"But boss, this dinner is aimed at…".
"Cancel…". Michael firmly said without letting Eliana continue her words.
Eliana shuddered at Michael's sharp gaze.
"Okay boss, we will carry out your orders!". After that Jason took Eliana out because he knew that his boss didn't like being denied.
After the two employees left, Michael rushed out because he couldn't wait to meet Sophia.
Not long after that, Michael parked his car in front of the simple house that Sophia had rented.
From inside the car, Michael looked into the room where the lights were still on. He guessed that it was Sophia's room.
Unbeknownst to Michael, Sophia is aware of his existence.
"Shopia… Do you know whose car is outside?". Asked Jennifer who was standing on the doorpost of Sophia's room.
"Perhaps a madman". Sophia answered expressionlessly.
Actually, Sophia was feeling uneasy, her feelings were messed up and she didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
"Michael… Go…! Don't force me to hate you even more! I beg you!". Sophie thought as she tightly gripped the pencil in her hand.
"Okay, I'll rest first because tomorrow I have shooting!". After that Jennifer left Sophia's room.
Even though Jenifer has a nice and spacious apartment, she mostly stays at the house that Sophia rents.
Sophia just nodded without turning to Jennifer.
At the same time, Michael was still watching Sophia's room which was still lit.
Michael is sure that Sophia knows his whereabouts.
Instantly Michael took his mind back to the past to find Sophia's gentle smile and cheerfulness.
Michael remembered very well how Sophia was always smiling, and when she was angry she looked so cute. But Sophia who now looked like a stranger, there was no tenderness in her eyes, no joy, only a blank stare full of hatred.
Flashback
Eight years ago.
"Honey, what do you want?" asked Sophia with shining eyes and a big smile.
Michael stopped walking and invited Sophia to sit in a park that was deserted and there was no one but the two of them because it was a pretty hot afternoon.
Michael looked into his wife's eyes with a gentle gaze.
"I want to be a doctor". Michael replied.
"Why do you have to be a doctor?" asked Sophia while playing with her eyeballs.
"So that I can be the healer of your internal and external wounds!" Michael replied with a seductive smile.
Of course, Sophia couldn't believe her husband who spoke a little suddenly romantically. Instantly, Sophia blushed.
"Are you going to break my heart?" asked Sophia innocently. "Will not". Michael answered firmly.
Sophia immediately smiled because she believed in Michael. "That's a deal, if you hurt me then I will…".
"I can't guarantee that I won't hurt you because I'm also a human who can make mistakes. But, one thing is for sure, no matter what happens I will still run to you". Before Sophia could continue her words Michael interrupted her words.
So, someone is getting better and better every day.
"What do you want to be?". Michael asked.
"Mmmm … Want to be the three best people in life!". replied Sophia excitedly.
"You mean?". Michael frowned as he didn't understand.
Sophia smiled.
"First, I want to be the best teacher for my students. Second, I want to be the best wife for my husband and lastly I want to be the best mother for our children. Hehehe…".
Knowing Sophia's ideals, Michael feels happy and proud, he thinks he has married the perfect woman. Even though they were about to enter the age of nineteen.
"Honey, kiss me!" asked Sophia in her spoiled voice.
Michael smiled amused to see his wife who was spoiled and getting naughty.
"Shy!". Michael replied, blushing.
Sophia glanced left and right, really in the park there was no one, why should she be ashamed? After all, they are husband and wife.
"Honey, why are you embarrassed? There's no one here!". asked Sophia with a frown.
Once again Sophia made Michael smile amused.
"Shame on the flowers, trees and pebbles that are here, if you want, how about we go back to the inn, whatever you want, I will grant it including …".
"Stop.!". Sophia stopped Michael's words because a certain person had started to think indecently.
"Let's go home… I will cook your favorite food!". Sophia said as she grabbed Michael's hand.
"Okay!". Michael nodded and followed Sophia home.
They were always together that day. Before running away, Michael had enough money in his wallet so that they could live well for a few months in a city far from their parents.
They are indeed still unstable teenagers who have just been in love, even though Michael is more mature than his age, but still he doesn't think broadly so he is always in a hurry to make decisions without thinking about the impact of his actions.
Back.
"Shopia… I'm sorry! Because I love you too much but don't know anything about your pain! I've betrayed my promise!". Michael thought as he wiped the tears of longing that flowed down his cheeks.
It was late at night but Michael hadn't left yet.. Sophia also deliberately turned off the lights in her room and peeked behind the mosquito net.
