Winning back Mrs. Manoban

Chapter 4

Lisa POV

"You leaving?"

"Yup." I replied, giving Joy a quick glance then continued packing my clothes on a small suitcase.

I didn't notice her entering the room because I was so busy, I'm in a hurry because I don't have enough time.

She seated at the edge of the bed near my luggage.

"Business trip?" She asked again.

I just nodded.

"Where?"

"London." I respond plainly.

"I see." She said while nodding.

After making sure that I got everything I need, I close my suitcase and turned to Joy.

"You wanna go with me?" It was a spur of the moment question.

"Seriously?" Her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, you don't have classes yet,right. It's my treat, for your up coming birthday."

"That's two months from now."

"Advance birthday gift then. Don't you want it?" I smiled lopsidedly.

"Ofcourse I want to. We're talking about London here." Joy quickly replied, excitement was written on her face.

My smile widen.

"Okay, go pack your things. We'll be leaving in an hour."

"Right. I'll be quick." She quickly stood up and was about to went out.

It's a twelve hours and thirty minutes flight from South Korea to London. Enough time for me to rest my tired body but my mind told me otherwise. I can't sleep. I'm closing my eyes but my mind don't want to stop wandering from somewhere.

I opened my eyes and slightly glance at Joy. She's sleeping soundly on her seat across mine.

I turned my head to the window of my private jet. It's midnight and I can't see anything except darkness. But despite of the darkness outside, My mind clearly see Jennie's face.

I missed her so much that it hurts.

Does she also think about me?

It's almost five years since I last saw her, and that's also the time when I met the accident that almost took my life.

After that fatal accident, I never got a chance to go back to London again. Not because I don't want to, but mainly because I don't think I can bear to see Jennie again, happy and contented in the company of another man.

In the passed five years, I'm always asking myself. What if I didn't walked away and showed myself to her that day when I saw her happy with that guy. Would she feel guilty? Would she ask for my forgiveness and tell me that she realized she still want a man in her life not a wife? Would she begged to me and tell me to set her free for that guy and to her future child? Or maybe... just maybe.. she will come rushing through me and tell me that she still love me. That she's willing to forgive and forget and give our love a second chance.

I smiled bitterly at my thoughts.

Dream on Lisa!

There maybe a lot of what ifs and what could've beens between the two of you but thinking that she will choose you over that guy was way too impossible.
