CHAPTER 36: SADNESS GOODBYE

As Chaya rushed out, she went straight to her room. Her tears started to fall without noticing it. Her heart was so heavy that almost tear it apart. She could not help it. Her tears continued to fall and she cried and cried.

From that moment, she came up with such a heavy decision. She got up from the floor and went straight to her closet. She takes out all of her clothes and gets her small trolley bag. She put it all her clothes without any things that will left behind. Well, except her working uniform in Moven's house.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. She opened her door and observed. No persons were outside. She went to Lee Jia's room. Slowly, she walked into the child's bed.

She strokes her hair then kissed her forehead. She walked out quietly. She stopped and looked back to Moven's room. She could not help but feeling sad and hurt.

She continues to go downstairs. As she reached the living room and looked around, she said sadly goodbye. A lot of happy memories in this house this lasts few months. No one noticed her disappearance as she walked out.

While Lee Moven was, still in his bed thinking about the things happened earlier. He was still confused, 'Why Chaya's behavior was some sort of mystery?' His minds occupied about it and did not even have the hint of Chaya's planning that night.

He looked at the wall clock and it was already twilight. He could not fall asleep with the situation. He got up and walked to Chaya's room. He stayed there for quite a while then he slowly holding the doorknob and open it.

He walked towards the bed and no one was there. He turned on the lights. It was really empty bed. The bathroom was open. It seems that she was not there. He turned around to look everything. There, he saw the letter on the table. It was address to him.

He picked up the letter and opened it. He read it bit by bit but felt sad. Chaya's letter was stating that she needs time to think about it. She needs some space too because of the things about them were so sudden. She needed to sort things out first.

Lee Moven had a headache. He does not know what to do about it. He does not want to disrespect Chaya's decision but it was painful in his heart. The first time he laid his eyes on her was really something special.

Now, she wants some space away from him. He does not know for how long would that be.

Meanwhile, Chaya came back to her apartment while Carl is still awake. He came out to his room when he heard the front door opened. He saw his mother Chaya came in with the suitcase in her.

It was unexpectedly situation though he did not ask questions. He saw his mother's eyes, the sadness that he could feel it. He just hugged her then carried the suitcase and let her be to her own room.

Carl knew that his mother had something going on with her. After they went home separately, it was a happiest moment to them.

Now, it seems that there is some sort of dismay. He decided to talk to her later when she can take some rest and some space to be with herself.

Although, he got scare a little but he knew her mother can overcome whatever the problems she has right now. He went back to his room to take some sleep and let it be settling once their minds calmly down.

In the meantime, Chaya still could not sleep at all. She did close her eyes but keeps on thinking about the situation. She keeps on moving around her bed that could crumple the bedsheet. She decided to get up from her bed and off-balance as she stood up.

'Oh!

She looked up the wall clock. She realized it was already morning and she did not sleep even longer. Then she suddenly wanted to throw up, she run quickly to the bathroom. She had been throwing up in an empty stomach.

'What was going on with her?'

She went back to her room and got tired. She did not realize she already fallen asleep as she laid her body to her bed. It was really exhausted, her mind too.

----

A noise outside that woke Chaya up, a smell from the kitchen that her stomach was calling. She slowly rubbed her eyes finally wake her up. She takes a breath and got up. She went straight to where the smells came from.

She saw Carl in the kitchen cooking something delicious. He was busy without even notice that her mother woke up and observing him at the back.

She was grateful to have Carl as her son. He can be helpful most of the time she needed a hand to hold. He never questioned her last night.

"Hi!" Chaya greeted her son. "Good morning!" She sat down. "Why are you still here? I thought you have some things to do in school." She grabbed some coffee in front of the table.

"Well, our teacher in charge have some important meeting." He was talking while keeping on stirring. "He will not be attending this morning so I am free to cook for you and me."

"I am so glad your here." Chaya said in a small voice. She knew right at this moment Moven read her letter. She does not know if he calls her or not because she turned off her phone since last night.

Carl placed the foods in front of her. She was really starving. Chaya noticed herself lately that she was getting hungry all the time. Her heartbeat was beating fast thinking of something.

"I am going to work later, Mom." Carl interrupted her thinking.

"Okay, son, I will cook something delicious for you." She smiled.

"You always cook delicious for me, Mom." He laughed, shaking his head.

"Yes, right!" She joined her son laughing.
