My Boyfriend out of a Desperate Deal

Waiting to Gossip

'I am a father...'

Before Kian could continue his sentence, Laisha glared at him with a suspicious look.

His last sentence echoed on her brain. She twitch her lips, wanted to utter a word but in the end, she remained speechless.

Kian gently laugh towards her reaction that made her sullen face even worse.

Kian slightly bowed his head to glance at the ring on his finger. Then lift his hand for her to see it clearly.

Kian originally has no intention of opening his past to her contract girlfriend. However, due to his gentleman nature, he thought that through sharing also his past is just repaying for her attitude, trusting him.

Laisha reduced her dark aura and sat down properly like a kid about to listen to a wonderful story.

Kian paused for a while and held back his hand as he cross his legs and lean on the sofa comfortably.

"I was not married. I was a actually a father... before".

Her suspision began to dissipate because of his additional word, 'before'. But more questions began to nag her brain.
'why?, what happened? what do you mean before?, where's the child?'.

All those questions swirled Laisha's brain. She did not utter a single world but Kian can see it all through her glimmering eyes.

Kian let out a huge sigh and said to Laisha, "oh well, let's just say..."

Kian pause for seconds to bit his lower lip before continuing,

"I was a madly inloved man to a woman who was carrying our child before, five years later. Due to a young state of mind, I don't even know why my parents are so againts us".

Laisha's mind is still in a puzzle, could not connect the pieces yet but kept silent and attentively listened to him.

Kian glance at her and lowered his gaze to the ring he is wearing.

"My parents protested on aborting our child, but I firmly stand againts it. But what a bad luck, my parents wish came true".

Laisha's sullen face worsen. How could his parents do this to their soon to be grandchild? She could not keep her silent anymore thus she speak suddenly, "she just even let it?".

Kian understood what she meant by 'she'.

He did not respond but his face suddenly darkened and just gave her a nod. He stood up silently, march towards the wine and took several sips.
Laisha can clearly connect to his actions, hence she shut her mouth from questioning any further. Instead, she said in a calm tone, "Everything happens for a reason".

Silence broke out when a knock was heard outside the door.

"Room 1025, your order is here", a voice of a man from the outside.

Laisha opened the door and received the food politely, signing the paper. When she was about to take her wallet, a hand holding a banking card on his two fingers appeared in between her and the delivery man.
Without a word, the delivery man look at Laisha, waiting for her signal. Laisha just nod and the delivery man took the card.

He took out his machine for card transactions and swiftly done the payment. The man also asked for Kian's signature to seal the transaction.
Afterwards, the man politely bowed and head off.

After closing the door, Laisha placed the tray of food on the dining table.

She place the two plates of beef steak with rice each, one plate of roasted whole chicken and two plates of pasta.

Kian widened his eyes and stared at Laisha.

"What? You told me their best, here. These are their finest dishes tonight"

Kian chuckled as he was scanning the feast.

Kian sat down on the chair as he reach for his own plate placed by Laisha.

Sophy was so determined to wait for Laisha outside the gate, since she cannot come in.

She wore a maroon coat and black hat to hide her face if ever Laisha would look to her direction, the moment she'll be getting out of the gate.

She still sat on the bench and concentrately looking at every car that would pass out from the exit. She's waiting for that unique car where Laisha boarded an hour ago. It is already 7 in the evening but she was still there waiting since Laisha went inside.

Even if she wanted to urinate, she could not. Thus she was holding her bladder half an hour already. Fearing that the moment she'll take her look away from the exit passage, Laisha is already out.
She don't want to miss this rare chance and so sacrificing her urge to pee is worthy for her.

Another two hours passed, it is already 9pm but no sign of this unique car nor Laisha on every car that passed the exit.

She kept on slapping her face to keep herself awake.
The moment she would hear an engine of a car, her senses would automatically liven up and her eyes would stick to the mirror and then to the windows of the car and peek if Laisha is inside the car.

She's holding her camera while still sitting on the bench.

It is already 11pm but there aren't still any sign. Her eyes are almost falling but she kept herself awake everytime she was about to close her eyes by pinching or slapping her cheeks.

Another 40 minutes passed, just another 20 minutes before midnight, but she's still eager and determined to catch a gossip.
As she could no longer stand her drowsiness, she stood up and performed a jumping-jack exercise.

As soon as she performed her sixth jump, she heard another sound of an engine. She stopped and hold her camera up, ready to snap some pictures.

With her great surprise, it was the unique car she was waiting for. But as soon as she looked at the front seat, it is empty.

"huh?", she murmured.

And when she diverted her gaze to the driver, with her surprise, it is her ultimate crush!

Her heart started to pound drastically as her hands quivered. Her mouth uttered, "Ki...Kian?".

She looked at the front seat again but there was really no passenger.

Then she thought, of course!. Kian? Why would he be with Laisha?

Although he is not her target, she just took a picture of the man inside his car, driving.

After one snap, she giggled and hastily check the picture.

However, as soon as she lowered her gaze and scan at the picture on the screen of her camera, her blushed face instantly frowned.
