Unexpected Love Story

Chapter 18: Come Back Please

"Mrs. Joo, here's a bouquet of flowers for you." Rona's secretary walk to her down the hall as she was busy talking with the event organizers for every little details.

Rona looked up weirdly since no one have ever give her a bouquet of flowers before but the sight of the flowers ease her mind and nervousness.

As Rona take the bouquet from her secretary, she smiled. "Blue Cornflower, who comes with the meaning of 'A good-luck charm'."

"Do you perhaps know who's the sender is ?" Rona asked her secretary, expecting for her secretary to nod and said that it was her mother-in-law but instead her secretary shook her head.

"The guard passed it to me awhile ago saying a tall young man asked him to pass it to you."

Rona didn't waste any longer as she dashed out of the event hall to the hallway and lobby leaving everything behind except the flowers which she is holding very hard in her hand.

"I know it's you. Please come out and face me. Please." She whisper-ly begged for him to come out but nothing was what she expected.

Standing outside the building where she's at, catching her breaths, she looked around to find a sight of him and again nothing.

He disappeared into thin air again.

Rona was also shedding tears right there and then when a hand landed on her shoulder. She finally relieved and smiled that he had made the choice to face her after 2 years but the moment she turned around to see the person,

Her smile fell.

"What are doing out here, Bae Rona ? It's cold, you know. Aren't you cold ?" Jihoon asked.

"Jihoon..." Rona was at lost words, to be honest. She didn't expect anything. She just wants to see his face again knowing that the flowers in her hand was given by him.

"Oh! You have received my flower ? How was it ? Do you like it ?" Jihoon asked as he was smiling so brightly seeing how Rona hold the flower that was given by him.

Rona of course was shock as hell, as she didn't expect it to be this way. '...a tall young man...' . "So, it was you who gave me this flowers." Rona whisper.

"Of course! You know, I went to shop by shop to search for this flower only you know! It was so hard to find this type of flowers as it was not that popular among other flowers..." Jihoon continued his stories as Rona mind was going somewhere else already.

'Where the hell are you, Joo Seokhoon?'

The only question that keep on going in Rona's mind ever since 2 years ago.

"I'm home!" Rona shouted as she entered the house.

"Mom!" She saw the twins running from the kitchen in joy.

She engulfs the twins into a tight hug as if they didn't meet awhile ago at the event hall.

"How was your shopping with Aunt Seokkyung earlier ?" Rona pinches the twins cheek as they giggle.

"You wouldn't want to know how hectic we were at the mall earlier." Seokkyung interrupts behind them as she heaved a deep sigh.

Rona giggle again seeing how tired Seokkyung was.

"Were they're that commanding ?" Rona asked as Seokkyung nodded at the latter.

"Hey! We weren't commanding okay! You were the one who commands us to do everything." Seokmin exclaimed.

"Well, that's true but you guys were very commanding in terms of food especially!" Seokkyung replies.

There the war between nephew plus niece and their aunt begins. Rona left them to go to clean up herself. As she was cleaning herself, she couldn't help but thought about him.

———————————————————————

"Goodnight mom, aunt." The twins kissed both of them on the cheek before going to their own bedroom after dinner.

"Goodnight you annoying kids!" Seokkyung shouted as the twins turn around, sticking their tongueout at their aunt.

Rona once again chuckled at her kids and their aunt tactics but the smile didn't last long as her mind once again went to another person.

Thinking about him became her routine now.

"You should really stop thinking about him." Seokkyung exclaim.

Rona looked up at her with a question look.

"Why ?" Rona couldn't help but asked that.

People around her have been asking her to forget about him nor stop thinking about him and Rona want to know the reason why.

"He doesn't worth your time, Rona. He left you. He signed the divorce paper without discussing a detail about it to you. He didn't even left a letter to say that he's sorry or anything..." Seokkyung rant as she washed their plates from dinner earlier.

Right, they didn't know he actually did left a letter for her since she never told them about it and just keep it to herself. A white envelope that contains his words, his sorry's and everything was kept in her make up drawer upstairs.

"He did..." Rona interrupt Seokkyung's blathering, which also stunned her in place as she put down the dishes slowly and turn to Rona.

"He did?" Seokkyung asked as Rona sips a little bit of her coffee.

Rona nodded. "The day he left, the nurse gave me 2 envelopes. One was divorce paper and another was smaller one which probably contain his letter."

"What do you mean probably ?" Now it's Seokkyung who is asking many questions.

"I didn't open it. So it might be something else. I don't know." Rona shoulder who have been put up high as she wants to stay strong have finally fall down.

"Why didn't you open and see what's inside ?" Seokkyung removes the washing gloves on her hands as she made her way towards the seat beside Rona and sat there.

"I can't. I don't have the courage to open it because I know if I open it, there would be too many 'I'm sorry' from him like he always do and say. He knows my weakness was when he said he's sorry about everything that had happened between him and me." Rona finally broke down again after trying very hard to not to this whole day.

Seokkyung who sees her friend broke down couldn't do anything but to hug her and smoothly patted her back to calm her down.

Seokkyung heaved a deep sigh before said;

"Don't cry. He's coming back. I'm sure. Maybe he just need some time to redeem himself."
