"Angel, thank you for coming. We're glad you still remember this campus." Said a college student.
"You're welcome. I'm also happy to be here again."
This is the first time I have been invited to speak as a writer at my campus. A campus that leaves a lot of memories. It's hard for me to forget everything that happened here.
After the event, I said goodbye and decided to take a look around. A group of campus students are discussing as well as joking, it reminds me of my youth. I majored in law, just like Sean. Our difference is that I am busy working and studying to maintain my scholarship. Whereas Sean, the man from the rich class, only knew to have fun by making jokes at me.
Ah, Sean.
It's been a year since we had a big fight in David's office. Since then I never saw him again. I heard from Harvey that Sean didn't return to their parents' house. Neither of us can reach him. Yes, I did call Sean, but his cell phone was always off. However I want to apologize for my harsh words when we fought. Unfortunately, Sean left, and I don't know where he is right now.
My footsteps ended in the locker hallway. I found number 23 which was my old locker. Again, I remembered Sean's behavior. It's not the sweet things he puts in, but rather animals or things that are disgusting.
"Hey, you covered my locker." Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I turned my head. Apparently I was blocking the view of a college student.
"Sorry." I automatically back off, then the girl immediately opened her locker. There is written the name Nancy.
"It's okay. My locker does have magic anyway."
"Magic?"
The black-haired girl took several books from inside the locker, then slammed down hard. "Rumor has it that there used to be a handsome man who was crazy about the owner of this locker. A nerdy girl."
Really? I never heard those rumors before.
Nancy stepped forward toward me. "Are you curious?"
I looked at her confused. Okay, this is pretty annoying, but I wonder what happens next. Handsome man? Nerd girl? Who are they?
"Yes. Then what happened?"
She leaned her back against the locker and grinned. I can tell that she is a gossipy extrovert.
"Baby?" A familiar voice sounded as someone hugged me. Harvey. Gosh, we promised to meet at the campus auditorium earlier. He must be looking for me everywhere. "I've finally found you."
"Sorry, I forgot you were going to pick me up." I said as I put my arm around Harvey's waist.
"You must have missed it when you were in college. It's okay." Harvey smiled, then noticed someone in front of me and stretched out his hand. "Hello, I'm Angel's husband. You must be Angel's friend."
The girl stopped chewing her gum and stood up straight. Her eyes stared at me and Harvey as if something was wrong with us.
"Are you really that nerdy girl Angel?" Whispered the girl. "Then your husband's name must be Se ---"
"Harvey. I'm Harvey Ackles." My husband said.
"Ackles? Oh, my God! This is the ending I didn't expect." She kept screaming.
I fearfully took Harvey's hand so we could leave now. The young girl in front of us really made me uncomfortable.
"Wait, don't you want to know the rest of my story?" Asked the girl as Harvey and I turned around. "The handsome guy and the nerdy girl are not together! There was a misunderstanding between them! But now you can choose a different ending! It's up to you!"
----
At 7 pm Harvey and I arrived home. Previously we had time to shop for dinner ingredients at the supermarket. Let's forget about Nancy trying to get in my head.
'There is a misunderstanding between them.'
Oh, but those words kept repeating in my mind!
My heart seemed to fall out when I was about to open the door, realizing that my house was unlocked. As far as I can remember, I locked everything this morning. Gosh, what's wrong with me?
I walked in while leaving the front door open, because Harvey needed to carry another bag of groceries. Suddenly I heard an object that fell and broke. Is there a thief in my house?
When I was about to scream, I first heard someone moan. Convinced that the voice came from the living room, I became even bolder. The next second my body froze. The grocery bag I was holding fell. For God's sake, I hope I can get rid of this disgusting sight soon! One year Sean disappeared and made his parents worry half to death. Suddenly he appeared while having sex with a girl in my house!
The girl under Sean watched me. She pushed Sean's body and got up from the sofa. Sean turned his head at me, then grinned. His hair has reached his shoulders now. He looked messier than I last remembered. Yes, I miss Sean, but I didn't expect a dirty encounter at all!
"Sean Ackles! What are you doing?!"
That's Harvey. He's more in shock than me.
---
Harvey asked me to meet Sean and his girlfriend. Oh, girlfriend? I have met her. I even found out that Sean's girlfriend got breast implants and a nose job. Didn't I already know too much at our first meeting?
"Yes, they were wrong, but they were just having fun."
I looked at my husband in disbelief. Harvey is a good man. I mean, we didn't have sex before we were officially married, in fact we only kissed on our first night. And what did he just say? Just having fun? Is he kidding?
"At least they have to hold back their lust. Sex on the sofa? Jeez, that ---" I raised my hands in the air after not knowing what to say. My mouth only wants to say harsh words.
"Just forgive them, okay?" Harvey said, which made me unable to do anything. He just showed that he was running out of patience. I should have understood what I saw between Sean and his girlfriend. That was what Harvey wanted.
"Let's eat first. Jessie has cooked."
Oh, her name is Jessie.
I couldn't help but follow Harvey's steps down the stairs. To be honest, I'm still disgusted by remembering Jessie's face without imagining how wildly they made out.
Our dinner table is almost full tonight. I sat beside Harvey, while Sean was in front of me. He had eaten first, then drowned in his own world. I have to calm down so it doesn't seem that I miss him.
Jessie's cooking results were quite surprising, and I was even more surprised when I tasted the food. Trust me, I feel out of competition. Besides Jessie's beautiful figure, she is also good at cooking. My cooking skills are nothing.
"I hope my cooking is suitable for all of you." Jessie said as she put the butter chicken on Sean's plate. Yes, she doesn't eat. It sucks when she's good at cooking but prefers a diet.
"Seriously this is delicious. Do you own a restaurant?" Praise Harvey and I nodded in agreement.
"No, I'm just a model not a chef." She laughed, covering her mouth. "I'm lucky to have Sean always support my career. He said I was very beautiful every time I do the catwalk. Right, honey?"
Sean didn't intend to answer. During the last few minutes Harvey tried to build the atmosphere, unfortunately to no avail. Sean was silent whenever Harvey asked a question. I tightened the fork I was holding. If Sean only intended to keep quiet, why did he come back? What does he want?
I quickly finished my meal and got up from the chair. Jessie suddenly spoke. "Angel, I'll do the dishes."
"It is okay---"
"Fine, if you insist on washing the dishes."
Okay, she's a little unique. I don't even sound pushy. When I was about to dispose of the leftovers, I found a plastic box in the trash. I'm sure it doesn't belong to me or Harvey. I picked up a box and read a familiar restaurant name. So Jessie pretends to cook when she buys it from a restaurant?
Seeing Harvey approaching with the dirty dishes, I threw away the plastic box quickly. Jessie would be embarrassed if Harvey also found out about her lie. Maybe she wanted to make a good impression on our first meeting.
“Have Anne and Roby found out about Sean's return?” I asked, then washed the dishes.
"Yes, they already know. My mother asked Sean and Jessie to spend the night there." Harvey hugged me from behind. He slowly kisses my neck and brings passion. I groaned softly. I didn't want it if Sean who was only a few meters away caught us in the act.
"Do you want to make love?"
"Not now, Harvey."
"I miss you. We haven't had sex in a while."
"Wow, you two are romantic." Jessie appeared with Sean right beside her. I pushed Harvey. Let Harvey think I'm embarrassed to show our intimacy, even though I avoided Sean to see Harvey who is aroused. "We're leaving now."
"Don't forget to meet Anne and Roby." Said Harvey reminded.
"Of course, with pleasure."
"Shut up." Sean said to Jessie.
I was surprised to hear Sean yell. Sean left my house, then Jessie followed behind. What's with their relationship?
Harvey's sigh snapped me up. He pulled out his cell phone to call Anne. I massage his shoulders and he smiles. Sometimes I salute to see how much he loves his mother. There is rarely a man who can show sweet deeds. I wish I could be as open to my parents. Now I feel regretful because I don't have another chance. Yes, my parents are dead.
After cleaning the kitchen, I brought my laptop to continue writing novels. A paper suddenly fell right at my feet. I read the lines slowly, and the rest of the night turned into a mess.
'Meet me tomorrow at 8 am at Capital Corporate.'
-Sean xx
As Sean wanted, I came to the place he wrote about. Capital Corporate. I've heard the name of this company recently. Many people talk about Capital Corporate including Harvey and his business partners. Why did Sean want to meet me here?"Excuse me, are you Miss Angel?" Ask the receptionist. I nod, and she calls back before smiling kindly. "Come with me, miss."I followed her to the highest floor. The receptionist left and was replaced by a woman who seemed to have the position of secretary. "Please come in. You have been waited for since morning.""Thank you."I thought I was going to be sent into the waiting room, but it turned out that I entered a luxurious room. Could there be a miscommunication between them? I just wanted to see Sean, not the CEO of this company.As I was about to leave, I found a familiar figure standing facing the large window. His broad back seemed to be enjoying th
Harvey waved his hand from a distance after showing the ticket to the airport staff. For a few days he will go on a business trip to Germany. Harvey and I never parted ways. Usually when he's on a business trip, we always go together. But this time I really couldn't come."Would you like a cup of coffee?" A familiar voice offered me coffee. I smiled happily seeing Sean. He's wearing a white t-shirt with skinny jeans, that's all, but he looks handsome. Am I overreacting because I refused Harvey to be with Sean? "Finally we can be together."I hurriedly took it, causing the coffee to fall on my hand. "Aw."Without saying much, Sean dumped our coffee in the trash then dragged me into the parking lot. I knew he would scold me like a child. Sean liked to express anger more than any other feeling."Why are you so careless? Is it that hard to do something right?""I am fine.""Sit."
I blinked and looked around Sean's bedroom. The night after we were from the hospital, he took me to his house. I got out of bed to peek into Sean's closet. Since I didn't bring a change of clothes, and wearing yesterday's was such a bad idea, I ended up choosing a shirt that was really too big. Oh, it's nice because I can still smell Sean's scent.Sean left this morning for a meeting. He promised to come back before lunch, and I honestly don't really mind that. Sean already had his own busy life. Sometimes I forget that now he runs a company like Harvey.Gosh, Harvey! Where is my cell phone?I frantically searched my bag in every corner of the room. It must have been difficult for Harvey to reach me since last night. The appearance of Renata and her baby has stolen all my attention. Since I can't find my cell phone, I intend to search outside Sean's room. But before that happened, a blonde girl walked in and it startled me.
I rubbed my stomach. I try not to stress because it will affect my pregnancy. Yes, I should be grateful for the pregnancy I've been waiting for, but I didn't think this would complicate things even further. It's a lie if I say I'm fine. The problem is I don't know the father of my baby. Harvey? Or Sean?"Angel?"I found a woman who 3 days ago I was worried about childbirth. Renata. The nurse handed Renata over to me who was sitting in the garden area of the hospital."Hey, Renata. How are you and your baby?" I said, glad to finally have someone I can talk to."We're fine, thank you," replied Renata. "Thank you for praying for us and being there when no one else is around. I appreciate that.""I didn't do anything. I just waited, then fell asleep."We laughed together.My memories returned to Sean. Sean and I waited for Renata for 5 hours, and to be honest Sean wa
In the first trimester or 8 weeks of pregnancy, I went through a lot of changes. My breasts feel enlarged and sore, my mood swings easily, and I often have trouble sleeping at night. Morning sickness isn't all that weird yet. My nausea is still normal for pregnant women. Fortunately Harvey was able to solve all my problems.I knocked on the door of the room Harvey used to work at home. With a warm cup of tea that I brought I opened the door. The dark atmosphere is the first thing that shows. "Harvey?" I called his name while turning on the light. I found him sitting in his favorite chair facing directly at the desk. His head leaned backwards like he was lost in thought. I doubt if he noticed me. "Here's your tea, honey.""Ah, yes." Harvey realized when I touched his arm. A paper he was holding fell over, making him hurriedly put it in a drawer and then lock it. What is that? "Thank you. Sorry I didn't hear you."When I won
"This is your baby's heartbeat."From the monitor connected to the transducer on my stomach, I could see that my baby was still small. Maybe I can say it looks like a lump of meat. There is an audible heartbeat. This miracle hadn't happened when I was here with Harvey."Your baby's heart rate is normal." Doctor Luke said."Really? How do you know?"Lying on the bed, I glanced at Sean. At first he refused to accompany me to the hospital, but he suddenly agreed, and now asks questions as if he cares. Sean folded his arms, and his expression looked worried too. Why should he pretend to be worried?"The frequency is steady, 145. You can listen very carefully, too." Doctor Luke looked at both of us."What about the uterus?""The uterus is fine, Mr. Ackles. No tumors, myomas or cysts. All good."I let out a sigh of relief. Doctor Luke reminded me to keep eating and drink more mineral water. When Doctor Luke told me about taboos durin
After Sean dumped us for Jessie, I literally cried on my way home. Why am I not willing Sean to be with other women when I was the one who ended our relationship? Why can I be so selfish?It's late afternoon, Harvey may already be home. I asked the taxi driver to take me to a park which is still close to my house. There was no way I would appear in front of Harvey in this mess, at least my crying had to stop. Arriving at the park, I sat on a chair and took out my cellphone. For no reason, I wanted to call Sean. Could it be that he is still busy choosing his engagement ring? Oh no! Don't I look pathetic?A tissue appeared right in front of me. I was silent for a few moments. The tissue owner is none other than someone wearing a clown costume. The clown face is wearing a colorful mask with a round nose. I chuckled as the clown danced while rubbing his bloated belly, maybe the size of his belly is the same size as 2 basketball.
I stood in a large garden. My feet rested on the ground which resembled a cloud of sky, soft and white. As far as the eye could see I did not find a single person passing by or a building. There is only a pool of water that gives off the scent of vanilla.A little girl suddenly grabbed my arm. I haven't neutralized everything yet, so I followed where she ran. The child is only about my thigh height, maybe she is about 5 years old with golden brown hair. She laughed every time the reeds she was holding were carried up into the air, before she handed it over to me."Mom, hurry up."Did I hear wrong? Why did she call me Mom? Strangely, my lips could not be moved. I could not ask and finally chose to stop running. Now she straightens her head to amaze me because her green eyes are so pretty. I've seen her exact eyes before."Dad is waiting, Mom. If we don't hurry, he'll leave us."She forced her ru
