Love Game1: Destined

Chapter 2.2

Ian was just behind them, and they were ahead of her. She was falling behind. They walk fast, she feel like she was running after them. Ian did not notice a man going to her direction, because shewas in a hurry. They end up bumping into each other. "Ooouuch". She claim.

"You were not looking on your way!" He complained.

"I'm sorry huh!" Ian said angrily.

 He just turned around and left her. 'he is rude, he didn't even apologize...ugh!' Ian said to her self. Ian take a deep breath to calm herself. She walked again but she can't see her cousin and his friends. Ian feel uneasy while looking around. She walk back but still can't find them. Ian keep looking around but she could not see them. She looked for Neil's car but she cannot remember where did they park. The parking is big and some part are bit dark. Her fear start to resurface, while walking she open her wallet, she do not have enough cash to take a taxi. She look for her phone but she remember she left her phone in Neil's car. She try to be brave, but her mind start to panic, she start to tremble. Ian felt her tears flowing. Her nightmare are coming back and its playing in her mind. Her knees were shaking she can't walk straight. Ian felt weak, she sat in the middle of the parking lot. She cry without a sound, and her eyes start to loose its life.

Noah pause, and ask them, "Are you with a woman?". He noticed that Neil is talking to her earlier while he was on stage. And that same woman saw her lookingvat his friends, while waiting them to natice him. Also, she was following Neil.

 Neil turned pale, he look around nervously, he look to his friends and ask, "Didn't she following us?" He asked Archie and Darril.

 "Yeah, she was following us, because I called her earlier as we approached to Noah" Darril replied.

 "Yes, she was behind us earlier but she was a bit falling behind." Archie replied.

 Neil panic, out of nowhere he ran inside.'I'm so stupid, i should not let go of her hand! Fuck Neil!' Neil is busy scolding himself. Did not hear his friends calling after him.

Seeing him panic, they chased after him. Noah gets near to Neil and shout to him. "Neil!!!".

 He turned around upon hearing calling out his name, with full of regret and worry he look to his friends, "we need to find her, please.." he plead to them.

Seeing Neil like that, his friends agree to go seperate ways to find Ian. Noah said he will go back to backstage exit. Archie goes to leftside of the parking lot. Darril goes to the right side and as for Neil he took the exit of the parking area.

Neil felt the useless while looking around. The cars are much lesser now, but still she can't find her. He went back where his car park. Neil still did not see her. He felt frustrated, but he has to calm down. He start to check on his friends. If they saw her. Archie and Darril told him that they could not find her. He tried to call on Noah but there still no news.

 Noah on the other hand, looked around, he noticed a woman sitting in the parking floor. He approached and look closely to her face carefully. He want to confirm, he made a video call, "bro, is this the woman you looking for?".He ask Neil and Neil nod and ask him where he is. Noah showed him.

Neil run where Noah and Ian. She was not moving, and he is worried.

 Noah look closely, wave his hand in front of her face but she did not give any reaction at all Noah feel worried, at the same time there's a lot of question running through his head. He can't explain his feelings. He approached her again and look into her eyes, he could only see fear and sadness. Through those beautiful eyes. Noah took the chance to see her beauty. Her face was small, small pointy nose, round expresive eyes, Noah look down to her lips. it is small and pinkish. 'i want to taste those lips' his thoughts. He try to push those silly thought and observe the woman in front of him. It is visible that she is scared, her hands are shaking, she look pale, and there were trace of tears in her eyes. Noah felt he want to hold her, console her. He wondered what does her eyes look if there was life in it. He want to see her smile. He feel pang in his chest while seeing and watching her face written in so much fear.She dont deserve to be like this. This woman is so simple and she has a natural beauty that he like. He could tell if a woman wears a makeup or not. She has a little but just enough not cover her beauty.
 
Noah could not control himself, he desire to touch her face. He is about to touched her face when Neil come running and shouted. "DON'T!", rushing towards to them. "Don't touch her". He said pleadingly.

 Noah whispered to himself. "your one lucky bastad Neil! She's a catch, but it seems that your woman have been experiencing trauma', Noah stood up and turned his back on them. He dialled up his friends number and told them she is found.

 Neil hug her tightly, whisper gently "Jillian, I'm here ... kram - kram has come". Neil continue talking and pleading. Neil feIt Ian stiffen and get more scared. He speak again. "Ian its Neil.. your kram - kram...princess.. I'm sorry if I didn't notice that you were falling behind...and went missing ..." he slowly lift her head, he place his forehead to her forehead. "Jillian ....."he said while pleading. While looking into her eyes. Slowly her face start to have a color, her eyes start coming to life, "Kram..." she says while trembling.

 "Yes It is me .." Neil replied.

 Ian touched Neil's face and examined it carefully. She felt at ease,she hug him tightly.

 "Princess... i'm sorry...." Neil said while letting her touching his face.

 Ian smiled sweetly. Saying she's not mad and she is alright that he come looking for her. Even she felt weak. Ian smiled to him.

Neil bend his one knee, and lift her up. He knew she felt weak, and can't stand alone. He has to lift her and he need to bring her home immediately. Neil walk toward to his car. While they were walking Archie amd Darril come to them. Neil pass through them he went straight to his car. Neil put her inside the car. He made sure she is comfortable before facing Noah. "Bro, I'm sorry if I ruined your night, and Its better if we get home. Sorry.." he said sadly.

 "it's OK.. you don't have to feel sorry." Noah take a glance to the woman whose sitting on the passenger seat, before continuing his talk to Neil. "There were always next time. And I'm tired too". He replied to him.

Archie and Darril but in, "What about the two of us! We want to," they complaint.

 Noah look at them shaking his head to the two of them. He bid goodbye and leave first.

Neil bid his goodbye. Archie and Darril look at each other. Archie wiggle his eyebrow. Darril gets it. He and Archie ride there car, and gone bar hopping.

 Noah focuse on the road, yet his mind is busy asking himself. 'why i can't get you out of my head! Your beauty left an imprint not just in my head but also in my heart..', He smiled bitterly. 'yeah..you are already own by my best friend..'. He choked with his thought. He can't understand why he's feeling pain. He just met her today. Noah grip the steering wheel tightly, he drive fast. He arrived home. Noah did not get out on his car, he need to calm down. Before entering the house. He hide his emotion as he get out from the garage. He walk straight to the kitchen. He found an ederly woman. He hug her and said cheerfuly, "Manang i won again,"

Manang Helen smiled widely, " i knew it!" She claim. Manang Helen, ask him, " are you hungry? I can still prepare the table for you?"

Noah shake his head, "I'm full Manang". He look around and ask, " where is everybody? I mean dad and mom?"

Manang helen answered him, " they watch you, and they said that after your competition they will fly to Singapore."

Noah nod and ask Manang to get his things inside the car. The olderly woman nod and goes to his car.

He goes up to his room. He lock his door and went to the shower. In the shower he let go all of his frustration. He punch the wall few times. To calm him down. 'its frustrating that I'm mad, in pain but i know i don't have any rights to do so. I won but why i feel that I'm a sore loser,' he speak inside his head. 'Shittt!!" he came to a realization "this is love at first sight!!". He shouted out of frustration. He felt weak. 'yeah..just great.. so great..you fall to someone and that someone is already owned" he went out to the bathroom. Noah went to his cabinet, he wear his boxer and goes to his bed. He whispered to himself "just stay away from her you'll eventually forget your stupid feelings". Before closing his eyes.
