His Rectifying Graze [COMPLETED✔]

CHAPTER 37: Finding The One [✔]

KATE’s P.O.V.

“Why didn’t you accept the offer?” Fiona complained.

         I sighed, before facing her. We are now at our boarding house, and we just finished eating our dinner. Fiona didn’t stop bugging me about that deal that I refused to accept earlier.

“Fiona, you know how much I really wanted to come back right there... But I couldn’t. I don’t know if I’m ready to face him again.”

“That doesn’t matter! All that’s important right now is that you’ve promise to him that you’ll come back right after you find yourself... And now, fate is making your way back into his arms. Don’t you think it was pretty ironic? You already have a perfectly reason and chance to see him again.”

“But how about Dom? Do you want him to be a broken hearted guy?” I asked her, and she suddenly shut her mouth up.

         I turned around, picking up the plates on our table just to wash the dishes.

“If that’s what will make you happy, then why not? Dom is... He’s nice and perfect but I think you deserve more... You deserve that guy you’re telling me about...”

        I sighed, unable to say another word.

“Besides... You already admitted it yourself... Dom is just a rebound for you... Don’t you think he deserves someone that’s going to love him without any hesitation?” I could hear the sadness in her voice.

“I...” I trailed off. “I guess your right, Fiona. Dominic deserves more. Though, even if I already let him go, I’m still not sure if I will be able to face Elijah on my own.”

        I looked down, feeling sorry for myself. But I stopped, as I heard the enthusiasm and encouragement in Fiona’s voice.

“You already done it before, right? You can do it again, Kate. I believe in you.”

“Thanks,” I smiled at her.

“You know, the director told me that if ever you changed your mind, you can always call her any time.”

“Sure... I’ll think about it.”

         She just smiled widely at me before helping me in washing the dishes. After we finished doing the household chores, we finally came inside of our own respective bedrooms before I took a quick shower. All I wanted to have right now is a peaceful sleep before I think about that offer.

         But I couldn’t do it. Thinking about what Fiona had told me earlier, it hit me so hard. I left Elijah hanging back in that country without any assurance that I’m going to come back someday. He said he’ll wait, but I don’t know if he can still endure the pain after all these years. He probably got married and build his own family... No, I should stop over thinking about those things. Elijah promised, and I trust him.

          After hours of thinking, I finally slept. The next thing I knew, I was awakened by the sound of my phone ringing on my bedside table. It was already morning, and I instantly picked up my phone.

         I looked at the name of the caller. It was Mom. I smiled, thinking that maybe she’s calling me to inform me that they already booked their flight to Paris for this weekend. It was scheduled that they’re going to visit me here.

“Hi, Mom...” I smiled to myself.

“Kate...” I felt nervous, hearing her bothered voice.

“Mom? Are you alright? You sound... Bothered.”

“I’m afraid your Dad and I couldn’t make it there this weekend.”

         I felt saddened by the news, but i’m still worried about the way Mom’s voice sounded like. I badly wanted to ask her the reason why.
