Love Path

Path of love : Struggle

The party got over. Yibo was no more angry because at least Zhan spoke with him. He went in Zhan's room again.
Zhan opened the door as he knocked.

Yibo,"Zhan!!"
Zhan ,"Yes what?"
Yibo,"Why did you ignore me in the evening?"

Zhan now acted rudely.
"Is this the only thing you want to ask now when am tired? Go sleep now. And please stop disturbing me."

He did not even give a chance to Yibo to talk and closed the door.
Tears started falling from Yibo's eyes and Zhan's as well. Just on two sides of the door.

Zhan knew he had hurt him but he had to. He did not have any other choice. Now all he wants is to take himself away from Yibo.

Yibo went to his room changed his dress and sat on the bed. The light was off. He was crying.
He just wanted to scream.
The same thing happened with Zhan his heart was screaming.

The whole night neither Zhan sleep nor Yibo did sleep. They just cried the whole night.

Yibo questioned himself that what wrong did he do? But still he could stuck to the point that these words are not Zhan's own words after being so hurt also. He knows that his Zhan can't hurt him so easily.

In the morning they both came to dinning room to have their breakfast.

Zhan was already their Yibo joined them. Zhan's family stayed in Yibo's house after the party so they were also in the dinning room with Zhuocheng, Haikuan and Mrs. Wang included.

Yibo could see Zhan and feel that he did not sleep last night. Zhan was also able to predict that Yibo did not sleep last night. But still he has to ignore.
Zhan,"Mom I need to go with you now so Yibo I will not be going to office today."

Yibo,"You have to go to office today."

Zhan did expect such answer from Yibo. He thought that Yibo was hurt and angry so he won't talk to him but unfortunately Yibo just stayed in his position. Only to ask why? Why is he doing this? His Zhan can't do this. His Zhan loves him the most.

Zhan,"What?!"
Yibo,"Today we have a important meeting in the office so you have to go."

Mrs. Xiao,"Zhan you should go today since Yibo is telling and you also did not attend office yesterday. Better come home after your work is done."

Zhan had nothing to do except going to office with Yibo.

Yibo was successful in taking Zhan to office.

They sat in the car and as usual Yibo drived. Both of them were quiet. Yibo thought of breaking the silence between them. He knew if he says anything about what happened yesterday Zhan would definitely again start saying those harsh words.

Yibo,"I can't find some documents in my laptop I don't know how I lost it. You may have it in your laptop. I will show you when we reach the office."

Zhan,"Oh. Is it important for today's meeting?"
Yibo ,"Yes."

Zhan,"What work did you have in the office yesterday?"

After saying it Zhan thought
"Why am I asking this?
I ignored him yesterday.
No shit am being selfish again.
Did I forget that I need to ignore him.
I need to change his mind."

Yibo could feel everything through Zhan's facial expressions.

Before Yibo could answer that question Zhan changed the question,
"When do we have the meeting?"

Yibo,"4pm."

Yibo,"You did not sleep last night."

It was like a Yibo just got the soft corner of Zhan's heart and now Zhan can't even control his emotions. He can't even show his fake anger now. Zhan still could say something,
"Who said that I did not sleep?"
His voice was cracking as he spoke.

As he said his eyes were filled with tears. He turned his head towards the window so that Yibo could not be able to see his tears.

Yibo,"What are you hiding? Your tears or yourself?"

The tears started falling from his eyes.
He was unable to stop it. He can't hide anything from Yibo.
Yibo stopped the car in a uncrowded place.

Yibo,"Do you know why I was hurt? Because it was you who is forcing yourself to ignore me. I know those words are not yours. I also know it's not your family who is forcing you. And if it was your family you would not act like this. No one knows about our relationship. Then why are you hurting yourself?"
His words had a deep sorrow.

Zhan turned towards Yibo. He was crying.

"Why tell me why?"

"Why?", Yibo yelled and started crying.

Zhan,"You need to leave me Yibo."

Yibo,"Zhan! why are you ghosting me? I know it very nicely that it's not your decision. I thought you are a decisive person but why are making such decisions?"

Zhan,"I can't tell you anything but you need to leave me or else you will just destroy many life."

Yibo,"Many life?" He laughed.
"So it's better to end my life."

Zhan,"Yibo! How can you say this?"

Yibo,"Living without you I would just stay alive physically. Do you think that we two would be alive from inside? Do you think that the girl we marry will live in peace with us? Aren't we destroying four lives?"

Zhan,"But what about our family? What about our mother? Your mother is worried about you the most. She won't allow us. I don't know about my mom but I think she will still be able to think a little. But Aunty will get hurt. He loves you."

Yibo,"So my mother said you something yesterday. I know she won't allow us to stay together neither the society will but still I will try. I will tell her."

Zhan,"What if she takes you away from me?"

Yibo," I don't care what if. I just want to try."

They cried together and hugged each other.

Zhan,"Though you don't care what if just don't take any decision alone. We will take every decision together."

"Mmn." Yibo answered while crying.

Zhan,"And don't do anything quickly just wait for your brother's marriage. Let it be successful then say to aunty."

The path of love is not easy. It would start so easily but it won't go so easy.
They have to fight with many people and many emotions. But will they be able to win?

They reached their office and did their tasks properly. They had the peace of mind.

They finished their office time.
Zhan came in Yibo's room.
Yibo smiled and went towards him.
Yibo,"So let's set out. I will drop you in your house."
Zhan,"No. Today I will go to my house alone."

Yibo,"Zhan you told me not to take any decision alone so you also should not take any decision alone."

Zhan,"It's not that you are thinking. I will go alone because my house where my mom and brother stays is far from our office and your house and we both did not sleep last night so you go alone in your house and rest. I think you will be going to stay with your family for some days right? Take care of yourself and remember we will take every decision together."

Yibo smiled at Zhan.
Yibo,"Ok then. You also take care of yourself. We shall meet tomorrow morning in the office."

Zhan hugged Yibo and then he left.

Yibo went to his house as well.
