If I only could

Chapter 26

The Lads were celebrating for their another successful concert for tonight and to reward themselves, they all plan to eat out with all the crew in a fancy restaurant.

The whole ride was full of fun as everyone are so happy as they can rest for at least a day before their next concert .

"Just go ahead, I'll follow after, I just need to call my daughter." He said as he excused himself the moment he step out of the car. The Lads just patted him on the back and head inside.

It took him at least 10 minutes before he finish the phone call. As he was about to walk in someone caught his eyes. He's just standing there for a moment as he is trying to confirm if he is seeing the right person he knows.

There's a woman who just got herself out of the car and heading inside of the restaurant where the other's are waiting for him. 

She's so beautiful, with her black long hair slapping by the wind as she walks and her dress is so pretty in his eyes.

His jaw is almost drop when he realized that he's staring at her for too much. He's still blankly staring at her and suddenly slowly following her behind.

As she reached her destination he stop walking from a far watching her silently and doesn't even remember that there are guys waiting for him.

She's alone for a moment and silently order some drink for her own as he can see from her expression that she's waiting for someone.

Maybe she is here to meet someone and meeting her here is unexpected. He never expect that he would see her tonight right here.

He's been looking for her for some reason and yet she is just here showing up infront of his eyes even though she hasn't seen him yet.

"Jess..." He said in a whisper still watching her from a far.

Looking at her right now, she seems like she's living a good life. It looks like she is happy it might hurt him to say this but she looks like she's living her life as a single lady with no child at all.

It doesn't matter to him if she doesn't care about her being divorce, but it hurts to see that she's living well after leaving their daughter for five years.

Imagine, five years. He couldn't imagine how she live that five years without seeing her own child, not knowing how well their daughter is.

He shookt his head. Suddenly seeing her like this making him furious. He gather all his courage to approach her but a guy suddenly came pass him and going to her direction.

He stopped the moment that guy sat in there and they casually started the conversation he watch them carefully and trying not to get caught. He can clearly see her face because she is facing his direction.

He can see how she is smiling right now talking to that guy while they take their orders.

He suddenly turn around when their eyes met, his heart is pounding and he doesn't know how to move, he don't even know how to walk away.

But that's weird! Why does he need to hide from her? He never done anything wrong. Again he gather all his courage to turn around to see her again yest to his surprised Jessie's expression doesn't show no change at all. It's just the same even when their eyes met. It's like she's not even worry if she saw him there, her face is full of smiles.

He frowned in confusion, why does it feel like she doesn't know him? Why does he feel like he's just a stranger to her?

He try to get a little closer and fully show himself to her.

Jessie finally look at him again, she keeps looking at him while she's talking to the guy infront of her. He turn around and tilt his head.
