DREAM COMES TRUE

Chapter 23

ANDREW'S POV

'When, Where, How and Why?' were the only words that were going on in my mind when Bell told me about Jessi's sudden trip to South Korea.

I had gone out with my friends on Saturday night and I came back home to a very shocking news that Jessi had gone all the way to South Korea to meet her friend Jae.

I immediately regretted my decision of letting her befriend that jerk. I was not expecting her to take such a big decision just on her own.

I called her 100 times but her phone was always switched off. I sent so many messages but she never replied.

Finally, later that day she called me. I felt so relieved after hearing her voice. She told me that how she was reminded of her own mother by seeing Jae's mother in that condition.

But no matter what she said, I couldn't approve of her irresponsible action. I tried to scold her, show my anger but just like always I couldn't. He tears always proved to be my weakness.

I was getting restless with each passing second, I wanted to see her. I missed her terribly. She was my oxygen. I couldn't live even for a second without her.

Few hours later, she told that she would soon be leaving Korea. To say that, I was just happy after knowing that would be an understatement.

But I knew that it will take her hours to come back. It would be such a long flight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Monday, I went to office just like every other day. I had to answer a lot of questions about Jessi's uniformed leave. I dodged them off by saying that she wasn't feeling well.

I just wondered how the hell did she even get the visa to South Korea.

I had a lot of questions to ask her once she comes back.

The day went normally and I reached home around 07.00 p.m. I was eagerly waiting for her text saying that she had reached the airport, and I should pick her up. But the next never came.

When I opened the door to my room and turned on the lights, I noticed a familiar figure resting on the bed.

When I realised it was Jessi sleeping quietly, a smile went flying across my face. She must have been exhausted with all of the travelling.

But why didn't she ask me to pick her up from the airport? She didn't even inform me about her arrival.

She was lying on her back with one hand on her forehead and the other on her stomach, both sweetly relaxing. I approached the bed cautiously and seated comfortably near her head. I then quietly lifted her hand from her temple and gently brushed her forehead, adjusting the hair strands.

She shifted her body towards me and held my hand on her heart as she melted into my touch. I grinned as I planted a gentle kiss on her temple.

"You are back?" Her sleepy voice reached my ears.

"That should be my question." I teased.

She then placed her head on my lap and entangled our fingers together.

"I am sorry for not telling you earlier."

"I don't forgive you."

"I love you."

"I love you too but I still don't forgive you."

"Why?" She finally opened her eyes and looked at me. "You should forgive the people you love."
