I didn't expect to see her in this restaurant, I don't know if I should approach her or I'll leave her alone. I think she's in her deep thoughts. I took a deep breath and gathered my courage to approach her, She's my friend no matter what happened.
Sunny; I called her name, She immediately looked my way.
Kale, have you been there for so long? I shook my head and walked closer to her.
Can I sit? She nods, so I sit in front of her.
What are you doing here? She asked me.
Ah, I have a meeting with clients; I answered, She looked at my arm where there is still a bandage to this day.
Is your arm okay? She asked and looked at me again.
It's fine, it's just need a little rest and I'll be fine, What are you doing here anyway at this hours? She pointed to the plates, so I nodded.
Just passing the time, Kale, can I ask you something? She said seriously, I took a deep breath and nodded to her, I saw her breathing deeply before looking directly into my eyes.
Answer my question truthfully, Do you still love Dale? I won't be angry, and I won't do anything. I just want to know the truth; my tongue retreated from her question, but I felt that this was bothering her mind.
If I told you that I'm not, Then I'm lying to you, Sun you always knew that I loved him, Actually I came back and hoped that we would be together, I didn't know back then that you guys were married already, I didn't hear any news about your marriage that's why I was surprised when Khim told me about your marriage to Dale, I thought She was just kidding me but when I saw how happy you were I believed that you're married and had a child, I have no right to be angry because me and Dale we're not in relationships before I leave the Country and my view of you has not changed because of what happened, For me you are still the Sunny that I met and my friend; I told her.
Didn't you regret leaving, If you didn't leave at that time, you and Dale might have been together until now, Maybe you were the one with him and not me; I took a deep breath and shook my head at what she said, I leaned on the chair and smiled at her.
I have no regrets Sunny, My leaving, My married to Yim and my choice to take my responsibility to my parent's and our family business, Yes I'll admit that I have a few regrets but it will not change how thankful I am to Yim and to everyone around me, At that time when my world scattered apart Yim was there by my side and supported me in everything, He didn't leave us behind when everything got messed up, You heard how big our company's problem is, right? But Yim never left my side even when his family needs him, So why should I regret my decision back then if there are people like him at the time when I needed a person to lend on the most, That's why in your question I have no regrets, Maybe all this happened because this is really the right path for all of us; I told her, She drank water and breathed deeply.
I don't think so Kale, This is not a right path for all of us, Do you know that Dale still love's you until now, I asked myself everytime if why everything I did wasn't enough to make him love me back, Kale I know that you love him but during this whole five years I learn to love him more than a friend too, You can't blame me right? I'm with him during this five years I thought maybe someday he learn to love me back too but My fantasy crashed when you came back, I thought, I just thought he loves me even a little but I guess I'm wrong; I look at her and I saw how she was hurt.
I can't love him anymore, Sunny. I know my comeback hurt you; she looked at me and immediately cut my words.
It's not like that, Kale. You're my friend, and I'm happy to see you back in the country; I smiled at her and held her hands.
I know and I'm happy to see you too Sunny, I already made a choice five years ago, I chose to leave everything behind to make a new start which I already achieve right now, I left him and your there beside him, I think you both deserve each other. I use to think that Dale and I are meant to each other but I guess everything was just part of our past, Our relationship ended seven years ago what we feel right maybe It's only our imaginary; I told her.
Kale; I took a deep breath and smiled at her.
You already had a child Sunny, He is your husband now, My feelings towards him will gradually disappear, You know sun If I only knew that you were married already, I would not want to see you both again and come back here, It is not because I am angry and do not want to see you guys, I just don't want to mess up and destroy the family you two built, You two are married already and so do I, Maybe it's time for me to face the truth; I told her while she just looked at me.
Are you leaving the country again? I shook my head and leaned back in my chair.
I need to go back to California because I need to fix something there, but Yim and I will also come back here right away since mom wants us to manage the company here in the country, But expect that we won't see each other again because I think that is the best for the three of us, I hope your family's happiness returns like before and I apologize for what happened; She shook her head at what I said.
You don't have to apologize Kale, You don't have any faults to what happened between me and Dale, I think he just told me the truth that I've forgotten this whole five year's; I feel sad toward her, She is a nice person.
Kale, are we going ? I look behind me when Yim suddenly appears behind my back.
Good morning, Mrs. Panich, I didn't know that you're here too, I'm just picking up Kale; Yim apologize to Sunny.
It's okay, Yim. Just call me Sunny; Yim nods and looks at me.
I hadn't even answered when someone spoke again, but this time he called sunny.
Sunny, I've been calling you since awhile ago, Why aren't you answering my call, Bea and I were worried; Sunny looked behind me and Yim but I stayed my gaze in front because I knew it was him just from his voice.
What are you.... Kale? When he's in front of us, he is very surprised to see Yim and me in front of Sunny.
Nice talking to you sunny, but Yim and I had to leave now. we have so many things to do; I said to sunny and looked at him for a moment.
Okay, be careful; I nodded my head, Yim gave me his hands, and I grabbed them to help myself stand up.
Let's go? Yim nod his head and get my things and he carries it, I smile at them and we leave the restaurant.
Are you okay, Kale? I looked at Yim when he asked me that after we left the restaurant.
I'm very okay Yim, I think everything is back to what it was before, I'm glad to see them for the last time, after this I don't know if we'll see them again; I took a deep breath and we immediately left that place.
It was for the best, Me, Dale, and Sunny shouldn't meet anymore so that we won't hurt each other. I can forget my feelings for Dale, It's not easy but it will reassure us all, He already has his own family and his wife are my friends, I took a deep breath and stopped for a moment and turned to where they were.
I'm glad to meet both of you, I wanted you to know that I'm happy for you, I'm happy because I know that you'll be a good father to your daughter.
Let's not meet each other again. Dale.
