Heaven On You

Part 39

Sitting to one another, they proceeded to converse about the reason for Nick's meeting with him. This gentleman wanted to construct a home and, at the advice of his colleagues, selected a construction firm run by Mr. Robert. They discuss the building process, the budget, the home design, and the house specs. Finally, as though they had reached an agreement, Henry arranged a day and time for their meeting, including a tour of the house's construction site.

"Does the doctor have a family?" said Henry, shifting the subject.

"No, I'm on the lookout for..." With a grin, Nick said. The grin seemed bland as if he was thinking about something else at the moment.

"Therefore, how old are you now? If you don't mind, please inform me."

" Almost thirty years, it's time for me to find a wife. That is exactly what my mom said "he stated gradually.

"To be sure, she is correct. You should be married at this point. Avoid being like me. I've been married for about three months. Married life is a lot of pleasure, a lot of happiness, "'He said. Sophie's delicate face flashed before his eyes. In his little heart, he rises joyfully. He then let out a gentle sigh.

"maybe I married late due to waiting my wife," Henry said, his gaze shifting to the photo frame in front of him. A pampered face smiled pleasantly at him. His heart began to bloom. His eyes were filled with emotion as he gazed at that face. Nick's gaze moved to the same photo frame as well. Suddenly, his heart began to beat faster—two hand-painted portraits of the same woman's face inside the picture frame. And one of them is a picture based on a photograph he shot years ago. 

His heart said, "sophie." Without question. Sophie is the owner of the hand-painted picture. Indeed, he retains the photograph and sometimes stares at it when old recollections tempt the spirit with the first portrait. There is a photograph of Sophie with a more mature appearance. Of course, it's still as lovely as the Sophie he previously knew. His heart suddenly felt as if it were beating as if it were squeezing. His tongue trembled briefly in response to the shock of such a terrible coincidence. To this guy in front of him, who is Sophie? Nick deduced the unpleasant prospect from his remarks.

"Previously, I was similar to you in that I was unconcerned about marriage since I was too preoccupied with chasing my goals. However, when circumstances compelled me, I married as well. Surprisingly, I discovered happiness with my wife." His gaze remained focused on the expression on his wife's face. There was a glint of pleasure in his eyes, and the emotion depicted did not escape Nick's.

Nick's heart sank as she saw the expression on the guy in front of him. What am I supposed to do? Should I be candid with this guy about his wife's identity? Do I need to express my continuing passion for the girl who is now mine? What a shame this destiny is. I let go of the bird that was once in my grasp. And now, she is already a part of this man's life.

"We are currently anticipating the arrival of newcomers around... May of next year. Do not wait an extended period of time to see a doctor. I'm worried that when I'm older, I'll be unable to care for my own children. "With a chuckle, Henry said. Through the pleasure he was experiencing at the moment, his heart's eyes detected a change in this man's face. His expression was tense. Henry considered the possibility that the guy standing in front of him had ever been disappointed.

"Has the physician identified a suitable candidate? Perhaps this is the home for her?" 'Ask Henry' piqued the gentleman's attention.

"I met... but then fled. Perhaps I was wrong in becoming too emotional "nick said gradually. Later, he sighed. Now I've met her again, but he's developed into a person, he murmured to himself.

"Find another doctor... there are a lot of girls waiting out there," Henry said, as if convincing.

"My first love is much too unique. And after her... no one came to say hello... or... maybe I'm being too selective in my search for someone like her "Nick said with dissatisfaction. This man did not think at all that the individual they were discussing was the same one. The look he once adored and which once drove him to despise all women. That was the face he desired at the time. He agreed; this is the face that drew him back to this place.

Perhaps he just applied for a job at  Specialist Hospital, still expecting to hear from the face owner. And he was not aware that he was three months late. Of course, if he had arrived earlier to locate this girl, he would not have been as disappointed.

Nick drove his vehicle out of the parking lot, feeling conflicted. His need drew him once again. A sensation that has never left his heart since he was a child. He is perplexed as to why Sophie's effect on him is so powerful. Why, despite his efforts to forget, was the face still bothering him? How could she possibly forget that face if her husband constantly confronted her? Each time shall learn about the girl via the man's expressions of love for Sophie. And he would undoubtedly be unable to avoid seeing the girl one day. Not that I don't want to see him again, but he has become a part of the human race. Indeed, his heart would remain dissatisfied if he later encountered a loved one but could not have it. No, he must abstain. He will reschedule his appointment with Henry.
