WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY (MICKY FANFIC)

CHAPTER 22

Derline was looking at the sky. She was alone in the balcony.

“What are you thinking?” Daniel asked.

“How pitiful I am,” Derline replied.

“Pitiful? Why?” Daniel asked. He felt Derline's sadness. How he wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her but he knew that wasn't possible anymore. After Derline had found Micky, he had made a promise to himself that he would try to control his feelings for her. And he knew that if he held her again in his arms, it will be too painful for him. He wanted to tell her that everything will be all right, but he knew that wasn't true.

“You know about grandpa right? He's forcing me to marry you again. I don't know long he will continue to be stubborn. He's already implying that he will do something bad to Micky and his group, if I don't follow him. Frankly I am already thinking that maybe we we're not supposed to be together in this lifetime either,” Derline said with sadness.

“Are you giving up that easily now?” Daniel asked.

“What am I supposed to do? I'm confused. I don't want something bad to happen to them. His career is his life and if grandfather destroys it. I don't think I can face him afterwards And he's not the only who's going to be affected. If their group is destroyed, Xiah, Jaejoong, U_Know and Max will be affected as well. I don't want to happen. They have all worked so hard for these past few years to achieve what they have now. I will just die thinking that all because of me their hard work is destroyed. Daniel....Will he be able to forgive me if I leave again?” Derline asked Daniel.

“What are you saying?” Daniel asked.

“I am thinking of going away again. But I know that grandpa will just use Micky to lure me out so I know that won't work. So I guess my only choice now is to obey him. And that is to marry you,” Derline said with sadness.

“Are you serious? What's happening to you? Don't tell me you're gonna give up that easily,” Daniel asked. His heart was aching seeing Derline so helpless. He has always been his protector, and now he can't help her anymore, he felt so helpless as well.

“Grandpa will surely make the boys suffer, if I don't follow him. I thought after being away for more than six years, Grandpa had already changed his mind regarding my marriage with you. But I guess I was wrong. I thought I could persuade him to accept Micky, but again I was wrong. I am always wrong. Maybe I was also to think that Micky and I were supposed to be together,” Derline said with tears running down her cheeks.

Daniel couldn't control himself anymore. He couldn't stand it whenever he sees Derline crying.

“I'll help you. Please don't cry,” he tried to comfort her.

“It's too late. I guess fate is really against us. Even his company wants us to break up. Maybe they're right. Maybe we should break up, for everyone's sake,” Derline said as she cried.

“We can think of a way. Don't give up so easily. You know I will always help you,” Daniel said as he caressed Derline's head.

“I don't want him to suffer because of me. And I don't want his friends to be affected as well. I wish I would just die right now,” she said with sadness.

“Don't you ever say that! I have taken care of you ever since we were small kids. And I will continue to take care of you until you need me. I will take care of all your problems. Just don't think about dying,” Daniel said with emotion.

“But I will die anyway if I don't end up marrying him and being with him,” Derline said with a bitter smile.

“Don't say that!” he said with anger.
