Chapter 44: Going Home (part 2)

She was about to leave the Ridge Farm and she saw the three sitting under the shed of an oak tree and she approached them and smiled.

"Are you going home now darling?" Freddie asked smiling at her.

"Yes... It's time for me to go now..." She replied smiling back at him.

"Let me take you to the road to have your taxi to ride." John said to her.

"Good thing today wasn't hot... Go on now...we will be the one to tell Roger that you already left". Brian said to her.

"Thanks to all of you... You're all kind!" She said to them.

"Come on now Jilliane..." Deaky said.

"Yes... Goodbye...Freddie...Brian!" She waved to them.

"Bye bye darling! Take care of yourself!" Freddie said waving his hand.

"Goodbye Jilliane... Until we meet again!" Brian said and also waved.

Both she and Deaky were on the way out to Ridge farm.
Jilliane looked at her surrounding searching for Roger, but she can't see him around. And Deaky noticed it.

"You're searching for Roger right?" Deaky asked while they were walking.

"...yes... But i think, he wasn't here..." Jilliane said with a bit of worry.

"He will comeback here for sure... Don't worry...." Deaky said to her.

"But I'm afraid he totally walked out and will not do your album..." She said.

"He will comeback tomorrow! Just believe...I'll be the first to inform you about it..." Deaky said smiling to her.

"You will do it?" She asked.

"Yes I will... As for now, it is important you will go home safe..." Deaky said.

They stopped outside the Ridge Farm and wait for a taxi to come.

"Ahhmm... John..." She said to Deaky.

"Yes...?" Deaky replied smiling.

"I am sorry if you had misunderstanding with Roger..." She apologise in behalf of Roger.

"You don't need to... ! I quite know Roger!...he is just being him. He is just true on what he said...and i didn't take it personally...at some point he is right...for we are a rock and roll band...but you know... It doesn't mean I will not include my song on our album... It's not really for the band... But for my wife..." Deaky said.

"You mean.. the song you four rehearsing lately is for your wife?" She asked.

"Yes... I dedicate that song for her... All my feelings for her was on that song..." He replied again smiling.

"You're really in love with her right?" She asked.

"Yes..." He smiled again.

"How lucky is her to have you..." She said afterwards.

As she said this, a taxi stopped in front of them.

"Go on now Jilliane! The taxi is there..." He said.

"Yes...thanks John for accompanying me here. Goodbye and see you again." She said to her.

"Goodbye Jilliane...and see you again..." Deaky waved his hands

Jilliane waved her hands and entered the taxi. She waved again and the taxi already left. While Deaky went back to the Ridge Farm. He walked towards Freddie and Brian's position.

"Is Ms. Strawberry Cheeks already left?" Freddie asked.

"Yes... And she was worried about Roger..." Deaky replied.

"Maybe she was afraid that Roger already back off..." Brian said.

" I already told her that she must not worry...that for sure Roger will comeback tomorrow. I also told her that I will call her when Roger arrive". Deaky said and sat on the grass.

"I think that is not her only concerned about Roger..." Freddie said.

"What do you mean?" Brian asked and Deaky was quite wonder on what Freddie said.

"... I told her the main reason why I think he hate the lyric of your song...it was because of his past..." Freddie said and looked at the skies.

"Of what Roger's past?" Deaky asked.

"We all know it... That he was in a broken family.. " Freddie said.

"But you don't have to tell Jilliane all about it... You know...even Roger didn't told her about his past..." Brian said.

"Well i think she "must" know everything about Roger... For i feel that she was the only one who can help him.... Not us..and not others" Freddie said to them.

"How sure you are of it Fred?" Brian asked.

"Never in my life my gutts failed me Brian!... It's just there is something on her that will make Roger complete... But i do not know what is it...do you have idea?" Freddie asked them.

"No...none!" Deaky answered. And Brian just shook his head.

"What if Roger find out that you said it to Jilliane?" Brian asked.

"Unless you'll tell him... As for me...it is now up to Jilliane if she will ask and tell Roger..." Freddie replied and sighed suddenly a mild wind blows their hair. "...anyway...the wind blows..." He exclaimed.

It's been 1 in the afternoon when she arrived on their home. She prepared her own lunch and eat it. She was alone and in a deep thought on her working desk. She felt lonely again for Roger was not around, and she never bid goodbye to him at Ridge Farm for he is not there. She also felt worried about what Freddie told her. And there was also a wondering on her mind why he said she was the only one who can help Roger and not their band.

She went upstairs and opened Roger's room... No one was there and she felt her longing. She closed it again and went to her room. She went to open her closet and she took her family picture frame and sat on her bed.

"Mum... Dad... I already told you about the person whom I'm in love with right?... His friend told me that I am the only person who can help him, and not their band... He also told me about this person's past... A very sad past, in which he suffered... When his friend told me about this... I felt so sorry for him.. i feel like it is my duty to fill him of what is lacking on his life...and that is love... I feel like I wanna give all to him, and shower him my love...but how will i be able to do so...i could not even have the strength to tell my feelings towards him.." she said while still looking at the frame and she sighed.

Mixed emotion filled her that day. If only she could find Roger now from where he is. She felt if she could only hug him, console him, and give her love for him she already did without any hesitation. Now she knew to herself that her love for him is growing deeper and Roger doesn't even know it.
