It was monday, i went to the university and i still don't know anything about Great. During lunch break I got a call, it was from him! I answered the phone immediately, "GREAT! IT'S YOU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I shouted at him because I was worried for ages.
"Bhu, I'm sorry for disappearing like that, I neither had access to the wifi nor was my number working where I was." He said.
"Where were you? Where are you now?" I asked.
"Bhu, let's meet tonight, I have something to discuss with you." He replied.
"can't you say it now? I'm so curious and worried." i asked.
"no, it's something important and i can't say it on the phone." he said.
"okay, come to my dorm at 5, i will finish my classes and go there directly." I said.
"okay, I'll see you then" he replied and ended the call.
After my classes finished, I ran as fast as I could to the dorm. When I arrived, I found Great sitting in front of the door and he had fallen asleep. He looked so cute and soft, he was so handsome and good looking. i couldn't stop myself from staring at how beautiful he was. I kneeled down next to him, touched his hair softly afraid of waking him up, and then caressed his cheeks gently.
"How can I be that worried about anyone in this life? Do you know that my heart almost stopped because of how scared I was? I thought something bad happened to you, how can I live without you?" I was speaking without thinking while staring at him sleeping peacefully.
He noticed my hand on his cheek and woke up, smirked and looked at me with his sleepy beautiful eyes. I stood up so fast.
"I... I just wanted to wake you up. you said you wanted to talk to me about something." I said nervously and blushed.
We entered the dorm and cooked something to eat. As we ate, I couldn't wait anymore so i just started talking to him.
"So, tell me." I said. "umm..." he put his fork on the side slowly and seemed so nervous.
"why did you disappear? Where did you go? What happened...?" I started asking so fast.
"I don't know how to tell you this, but can I ask you something? But promise me not to be mad at me please." he said and kept looking at his plate.
"sure, ask me. but look at me, why are you looking down?" I replied to him and held his hand nicely so he stopped feeling scared.
"Do you ever ask yourself about who your parents are?" he asked me.
I went silent for a few minutes, I didn't know what to say, I have always wondered who they were and hated them so much because they left me like that.
"I always do... Why are you asking?" I answered with a shaking voice.
"I... Umm... I found out who they are, and I found where they are now..." he said.
"What? How did you do that? Why did you do that?" I was so shocked and felt anger inside of me, I didn't know if it were because he didn't tell me he would do that or because of them for leaving me while they're still there.
"listen to me, I know you will hate me for this, but I knew you wanted to know about them, and I really wanted to help you with that. I asked my friend to help me search for them, and I'm a lawyer here. Your mom is still in Thailand actually, but your dad already left to China. I visited them both and asked them a lot of things. But I think you should be the one hearing those words from them directly, not from me, especially your mother... Please give your mother the chance to speak to you about this...I can take you to her in the weekend, if you are comfortable with it." He said.
"But why would I give her a chance when she left me in the time i needed her the most? I was 5 years old when they left me live alone in this creepy place, ALONE!" I shouted.
"Trust me just for once, Bhu. you really need to listen to her." he said and came close to me.
"alright, I'm going to go with you on Saturday, and I will listen to that story you're talking about..." I said.
"Yes!! Okay, I'm glad!" he smiled.
"why do you even care about this?!" I asked.
"you'll know later, now the important part is that you will meet your mother..." he said and took the plates to wash them.
