Ice Cold You

Chapter 40: Past to Future

Tin's POV
After Renz told me that Can has left the country I was devastated. Remembering all of what I said to him doesn't help at all. The only person who showed me and made me feel what love is all about is now gone. I called him slut, I made him cry and the reason he left is also me. Then their is Charles, my buddy, a true brother. Our friendship has gone to the sewer after he saw his brother cry.

I need to correct my mistakes. First I need to deal with her that manipulator Emma. She's a friend no more and that wedding, I will make sure it will not happen at all cost.
"Tin what are you planning to do now?" Nathan ask me.
"I need to settle things, first is Emma." I answer him.
"What about Can?" He said.
"I will find him, I'll make sure of that." I said determined.
I need to find him. No, I must find him so I can ask for his forgiveness. Charles has not spoke a single word to me since then. His determination to hide his brother is as intense as mine to find him.

"Tin will you please come down we need to talk." Dad said as he knock on my door. Sighing, I fix myself before heading down.
To my surprise I saw Emma and her parents sitting in the living area. Her guts is really something.
"Tin!" Emma cheered when she saw me.
How can she smile as if she has done nothing wrong at all.
"What do you want?" I told her.
Instead of answering me, her father did it for her.
"We are here to discuss your upcoming wedding." He said delighted.
"Wedding? Do you expect me to marry her? After what she did?" I told them coldly.
Her father was astounded. Based on his reaction he is kept on the dark on what his daughter has done.
"What do you mean?" He ask.
"So you haven't told your parents huh?" I told Emma.
"Tin come on that is not what we are here for. Remember our wedding? We are here for the wedding?" Her words annoyed me even more.
"There will be no wedding. I am not going to marry a psycho like you." I said to them.
Everyone has shot up to where they are seated.
"What do you mean?" My Dad ask me.
"I guess all of you are not aware of the things she did just to make me marry her." Emma is now pale.
I told them everything and my parents cannot believe that Emma could pull such stunt. Her parents were ashamed of their daughters attitude.
Emma is now a goner.

I went to Charles again.
Several times I have attempted to appease with him but he take it down. This time I am hoping for a better result.
"Charles!" I call his attention.
He just look at me.
"Please I need to know where he is." I told him.
He moves closer to me.
"And why is that?" He ask me.
"You know why! I need to talk to him and to correct the mistakes that I did." I reasoned with him.
"Haven't you done too much to him? Listen to me Tin, I will not let you hurt my brother again. I entrusted him to you once and he ended up crying. Moreover he chose to leave us, his family and live alone just to find himself that he had lost all because of you." He said. I can feel the hurt and pain in his voice.
He love his brother to much. I am a fool.
But I won't stop, not until I regain his trust again.

It's a year now since Can left and I still cannot find any clue on where he is. Charles has kept his word. His blocking everything and everyone that will help me find Can.
Each night, I dream of him, us and the memories we shared. I should've have listen to him like what he did when he saw that photo of Emma and me. I missed him so much, his smiles that make things better, his voice like lullaby , his kiss so enticing , his hug which are warm and comforting.
I continue to live with hope that the day will come when he will return to my side.

I am laying on my bed reminiscing our love when my phone suddenly lit.
It is Martin.
I let it ring deciding whether to answer or not. Lazily I pick my phone to answer him but he already drop the call.
I sat and decided to open my laptop.

Then I saw Martin sent me a message. Opening it my eyes widen in excitement.

"He is back!"
