Abandoned

Chapter 42

Emmie's pov:

I went to the reading room to check on Pha and Ming.

I still couldn't completely believe that he's back.

That he's really here.

That this isn't just a nice dream.

I slowly opened the door and peeked in.

The sight i was greeted with warmed my heart.

I couldn't help but smile widely.

They were sitting on the couch with books around them.

Ming had his head on Pha's shoulder and Pha was leaning his head on Ming's head. He also had his arm around Ming's waist.

They were both sleeping soundly.

Tears formed in my eyes.

They looked so peaceful. Free from any worries.

I was pulled out my thoughts when i felt arms wrap around me.

I melted into the familiar arms.

"They're finally together again." He whispered.

I nodded.

"I haven't seen Pha so content in the last 2 years. He was like an empty shell. I thought i would never see him happy again." I cried softly.

He tightened his arms around me.

"But he is. No matter how much the world tries to separate them, they'll always find their way back to each other."

I nodded again.

"Let's leave them alone for now. Let them have their time together." He said.

I closed the door as quietly as i could and we went to our room.

Pha's pov:

I was woken up by the sound of the rain.

I blinked a few times before i opened my eyes widely and straightened up.

I looked out the window and noticed it was already nighttime and It was pouring.

I looked around frantically.

Ming wasn't here.

I shot up and ran out of the room.

I checked my room and his room. I even checked the bathrooms.

But he wasn't there.

My anxiety was increasing with every passing second.

I froze in the living room when I noticed the sliding doors to the backyard were slightly open.

I quickly went and opened them fully.

There he was.

Sitting on the grass in the rain. Staring up at the sky.

My heart dropped when i saw the look in his eyes.

Lifeless. Empty.

No.... Not again....

"MING!!" I ran upto him not caring whether i got wet or not.

He turned to look at me when i knelt beside him.

"P' don't worry. I'm not locking myself out." He smiled before i could say anything.

I blinked.

His smile didn't reach his eyes but i could tell he was still here with me.

"Why are you sitting out here in the rain?" I asked.
