Chapter 23 (Sweep me off my feet)
I looked at him sternly in my eyes and told him
"NEVER BEEN SO SURE IN MY LIFE"
"What, Zan we need to talk about this when we are home? My father told me.
I am too devastated because I missed the chance talking to Yebo and tears were already welling up.
My grandma saw me and was angered with my dad. She holds my hand and take me out of the Gala. My father was so shocked by my grandma, but he wouldn't dare to murmur a word or my grandma will put him where he belongs.
As soon as I am out of the Gala, I starts wailing and sobbing in my grandma's shoulder.
"Grandma, it is painful" I told my grandma
My grandma took me to a corner of the hotel and allows me to sob., she begins to stoke my back and she told me
"Is it that boy" she asks me. I was shocked and I became stiffened.
She face me to her front and looks into my eyes.
"Zan, boy, I am old but I am a trained and a damn good psychologist, you can't even take your eyes off him" grandma told me.
"Grandma, I am so sorry" I tears again
"Why sorry, my boy, I am sorry that you are in such pain" Grandma hugs me again.
"But....aren't you disappointed that I like ...a..boy..grandma" I asks him
"What!!!!!, just because I am old, doesn't mean I am old fashioned. Why should there be a gender discrimination for loving someone, uh" Grandma pretend to smack my head.
"Beside, who doesn't want to have two handsome and dashing grandson and son-in-law, er" Grandma teases me.
"Grandma, he doesn't know how I feels, I am in pain for these few years" I told my grandma
"I know, Zan. I only knew tonight but I knew you were sad even before you went to American" Grandma told me
"Did you ever try and talk to him" Grandma asks
"He was too young then but now.... I..am..afraid...I..don't..know" I bent down my head
"Hey, who's grandson are you ah, please lift up to my reputation as your grandma. Go and face your love. Be strong and courageous, I raise you to fight for your life and love" Grandma smile at me.
I really feel much better in my grandma's arm. She never judges me and really loves me for who I am. I managed to put on a smile for her and I feel braver after she encourages me.
"Zan, here, take the key to my brand new apartment. I sometimes go there when you are overseas. I brought the apartment for you because I thought when you are home, you may want to have some privacy in your life." She gave me the key and I am just speechless.
"Look, go now, Driver Wan knows the place. I will now call your assistant to bring your clothes to the apartment." Grandma told me
"But, dad......" I ask grandma
"What!!!!!, let me deal with my son. He makes my grandson works immediately after home from overseas. Don't worry, I am still a major shareholder in the company. I will face him not only as a mother but if I need to a SHAREHOLDER. Take a week off, my dear Zan, you are tire and you need rest, ok" Grandma lean in and kiss my forehead.
I nod and took the key from her and went straight to our driver and instruct him to take me to the apartment.
When my grandma told me that he brought an apartment for me, it was an understatement. She brought a penthouse on top of the luxury centre.
The penthouse was luxurious furnished and it has 4 bedrooms, a gym, a swimming pool and even a sun room for reading. Grandma has decorated such that I could really relax in the apartment. The colour of the apartment is soothing and peaceful.
Not long later, there was a knock on the door. Yu Bin brought my clothes and he bow and told me.
"Sir, no work for a week" I smile and he smile back then he turns and told me
"Sir, you new car is down stair too. This is from your grandma. Gosh!!!! It is a new BMW converter. I drove it here and it is really powerful" Yu Bin hands me the key to my new car as well.
I feel like my grandma is my angel. She arranges everything for me so perfectly.
I took a quick shower and rest on my super large bed. As soon as my bones sink into it, I realised I am extremely tire. All the anxiety and dreadful events of the day has overworked my body. I took out my mini card and just try to analyse Yebo's look.
"Did he gets my hints"
"Will he go to the beach tomorrow"
"Did he tears tonight"
"What am I going to tell him"
"What if he doesn't like me that way"
All these questions tirelessly pop around in my head. Within a few minutes, I have already fell asleep.
My phone alarms keep peeping non-stop. I looked at my watch, it is already 9 am. I jumped out of my bed and immediately showered and change.
I didn't make a time appointment with Yebo, but I want to be there as early as I could. If even possible, I like to be there at 6 am but my tire body truly needs a rest. I couldn't bother with breakfast because I am too anxious. Then, I realised that I didn't even had my dinner.
However, strangely I didn't even feels hungry. I am just too anxious and wish I could just fly to the beach.
When, I reached the beach. It was already 10.30 am.
I look around and saw that the bench that we sat together 3 years ago was still there. I run my finger through the seat where he used to sit. It looks so cold and empty without him sitting on it. Unconsciously my tears began to flow.
I look out at the sea, it was all still the same as three years ago. It was still as peaceful and calm without any noise at all. You can only hear the waves literally waving and talking to you. This is a very remote area of the beach that no one comes. I supposed this is why Yebo's mother loves this place, the tranquility is unbeatable.
I glazed at the sea for not knowing how long. When I look at my watch it is already 12 noon. My heart had sank into the deepest pit of the ocean. Yebo didn't come. I couldn't control myself and I began to tears again. I took off my shoes and socks. Rolled up my pants and began to walk into the sea like an aimless man. My feet has soak into the cold water and the cold wind begins to chill my bones. However, all these doesn't seems to matter to me. In fact, I welcome the torture of the cold wind because it helps to lessen my painful heart.
I spread out my arm and look into the sky. I feel my lung bursting and I began to scream and yell like a madman
"Where are you!!!!!!"
Then I felt the sky began to turn round and round, taking me into the centre of the circle and seemingly soaking me in. I feel lightheaded and I know that I am going to faint and would probably lost myself into the sea.
I began to close my eyes and left my body go, it is too painful and maybe this is the best way to go. However, my body didn't touch the seawater but I was lift up by two strong arms. Someone has sweep me off my feet and I could smell familiar scent but I couldn't figure out more because all I see is darkness.
