Far Away

They looked at Claude, and none of them was talking or responding to him at all. Their mind became blank and didn't know how to respond at all.

Claude: I don't need you to believe me, but don't go anywhere for now.

Claude looked at Key and Len, who was quiet and didn't speak at all.

Claude: If you didn't believe me, first do what I said, and let's see if I lied or not. I still have something to do. So I will leave.

Claude walked away from there, went to the parking lot, sat down on the driver seat, and drove his car to Mio's favorite cake shop. He bought some of her favorite cakes and went home.

*******

Ah, what will I make? Ah, I was confused. Cole looked at my movement, and he didn't leave me alone here. He is too worrywart.

Cole walked towards me and said: "What food do you want to make ?".

"I want to cook something simple and ah maybe some salads too," I said with a bright smile.

"Fruit salad is delicious too on hot days like now," I added.

They were too close, why did Cole so close to me like this?

Claude came back, looked at this scene, was furious at this time, but he also knew that their relationship was in tremor. But he couldn't stay silent seeing their closeness.

He also never knew that Mio was close with Cole in his previous life, or maybe he didn't care much about her so that he never knew this fact.

"Ehem," Claude glared at Cole. Cole was a timid guy, and he stepped back from Mio. I looked at Claude. This guy was making trouble this time.

"Very good, you said that you like me, but you got so close with another man," He said with dissatisfaction. Claude looked at Mio like a husband whose wife was cheating on him.

"Huh, so what? Are you my boyfriend?" I asked him calmly. Ah, why did my heart was happy to hear his jealousy? Wait, was he jealous of me? Of course, It was not right.

"I am your fiance, and I have the right," He said.

"Your fiance? Where did you go when I needed you? Ah, don't' talk nonsense, you never thought of me as your fiance," I shouted at him.

Claude didn't know how to refute it, and it was the fact that he is a scumbag. Claude only put the cake in Mio's hand and walked indifferently.

I ran towards Claude and said: "Who said I would eat whatever you bought for me? I am not the same Mio as before, and I won't be that stupid anymore to believe in your behavior at me," I said while walking away without looking back.

I walked towards the kitchen, and my face turned black when I noticed a box cake in my hands.

I wanted to throw it away, but discarding food is not good. There are many people out there starving. On the one hand, the food given by Claude and on the other hand, disposing of food is not good.

Claude never knew how chaotic his fiance's mind was. He walked upstairs with a slight disappointment. He also knew how his attitude towards Mio was not kind.

If he could, he wanted to kill his past self. He came into his bedroom and sat down on the bed. His feelings became chaotic and unbearable. His heart tightened and hurt like there were so many knives hit at the same time.

He also has a nightmare every night. He looked at the ceilings and imagined how happy he was if he acted gentle towards Mio from the beginning. Regret always came at the end, and regretting cannot erase your guilt at all.

He always dreamed of the day Mio's suicide day. He tried to help her, but he could never save the girl.

He also always dreamed about how much Mio hated him. Her eyes were full of hatred that he couldn't help shivering.

Of course, he knew that he couldn't get her forgiveness. But he was not that good to let her go.
