All Started With A Kiss

Chapter 14 - The Weekend Part d

The wind howled loudly as the rain fell heavier, soaking the land and moistening all the dry soil around the forbidden city. In the distance, lightning flashed among the dark clouds, one after another, adding more tension to the already tensed atmosphere around the two people who were still standing opposite to each other.

"I've told you that it's okay..." she said slowly, frustratedly,

"I know, but Lian Xin..." he paused and heaved a deep breath, "If you really want Didi to come, I'll tell him to come, and—"

"I TOLD YOU THAT IT'S OKAY!" She snapped, then she lifted her head to look into his eyes. Her eyes filled with anger while she ended up shouting out the words she had spoken to him repeatedly before, "Why didn't you listen to me?" She talked again, softer this time as the flashes of pain began to replace the anger in her eyes, "If I told you that it's okay, then it's okay. Why you have to argue me again and again...?" her voice started to tremble while the tears began to well up in her eyes, "WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME? WHY?" She frustratedly shouted before the tears finally found its way to escape from her eyes, "I am not a child anymore. I am not a teenager anymore. I am an adult. Why didn't you listen to me? Wh—"

Her eyes widened and her whole body stiffened when he suddenly embraced her into his arms, "I am sorry," he said, hugging her tightly, surrendered to the sudden urge from the deepest part of his heart as he couldn't hold himself to hug her as soon as he saw her tears began to roll from her eyes, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. I am sorry..." he repeated, "I am sorry..."

Her eyes brimmed with tears, "You did say that you never see me as a child anymore, but why..." she sobbed, "I've told you that it's okay. It's fine. So listen to me. Listen to me. Lis—"

"I'm sorry." He cut her words again as he tightened his hug on her, "I'm sorry. It's not that because I see you as a child. I just want to help you if you want Didi to come. I will tell him to come tomorrow so that you can..." he stopped talking as he suddenly felt a stab to his chest, making him unable to continue his words.

So that you can be with him tomorrow instead of me...,—he thought bitterly.

You want him to come... instead of me.

Am I wrong that I want to tell him to come?

"I've told you that it's fine. Just come. You don't have to 'help me' to tell Didi that he should come tomorrow, you don't have to..." she stopped talking as she felt a lump in her throat.

You don't have to tell me that you want to help me while in fact, it is you who wants to be with Yue tomorrow,

you don't have to act in front of me that you want to help me in telling Didi so that he will come tomorrow instead of you, while in fact, it's you who don't want to come tomorrow because you want to be together with your girlfriend.

She sobbed louder as she thought about it, adding more and more pain to her heart.

Why you should lie to me? Why don't you just tell me the truth? That you want to be with her tomorrow. Just tell me the truth... is it so hard to say?

Tell me the truth...

Break my heart more...

Destroy my heart more...

Who knows that might help me to forget you sooner...
