Oliver's pov

What just happen? What did he say? Lawyer? He is going to send his lawyer? Like hell I'm going to sign it.

So you're in so much hurry to end this marriage huh! I'm not going to give in so easily. Because of your selfishness I couldn't be with the one person that I love so much. Now, i won't let you be with that man. Go on and send your lawyer, let me see how you get out from this marriage (smirk)

Third person

There was so much going on in both their heads. Both in their own misunderstanding but how could they communicate normally when they never had a normal conversation in this past five years.

The light hit his eyes through the window that has been kept open and that's when Blu realized that it was the beginning of a new day. His heart ache, so much that he just wish to go back to being in coma. He couldn't have a little bit of sleep but how could he have one when there's so much going on in his mind.

Blu: ' it's already dawn? Things are going to end so soon. All my years of effort to be by his side has been unfruitful. If only Josh never existed. Sigh! I wonder what would have happened if i didn't get into an accident and was successful in getting rid of Josh. Would Oliver come to love me if Josh was no more? Or would he still choose to love someone else.

Is it so wrong that I love you so much Oliver? I wish I fell in love with someone who would reciprocate my love. Why does it have to be you. Someone who will never, ever love me.

I wish I could just choke Josh to dead. Why does he get to have everything? He always had the love of everyone. Being all sweet and kind. It sickens me. I wish he gets hit by a car and that did be the end of him. (laugh).  Who am i kidding, he's the white lotus and I'm the villian. How can he die while I live. He is yet to have his happy life with my Ol....Oliver.

I need to move away from this place. I won't torture myself to see that happen.'

Blu got up from his bed and headed towards his bathroom to take a shower and start his day.

Blu called up his lawyer and gave him Oliver's address. His heart was beating unevenly. Everything would come to an end with the setting of the sun, his years of effort to be with the man he loves, his marriage and maybe even this beating heart will only be left as an organ that pumps blood.

Blu : 'this is it. Everything will end today. I wish I  lost my memories of him in the process as well but this heart would still recognize him. How can it not when he has only been the one who has made it skip a beat( sob).'

Blu headed down to the dinning table to have his lunch with everyone. Though his heart felt empty, he was content to have this people by his side.

Blu's mom : Blu, can you go pick your brother from the airport?

Blu : sure Mom.

Andy : should I accompany you?

Blu : it's alright Ann. You have to go somewhere don't you. Don't worry, the airport is not so far from here. I'll be fine.

Blu's mom : son, you should take the driver. I wouldn't have asked you to go pick him up but he really wants you to pick him up. I don't know want goes on in that brain of your brother. Sigh!

Blu : (laughs) I'm sure he has something to tell me. Don't worry i can drive by my own. I don't need a driver.

Blu's mom : but..

Blu : relax mom. I can drive. I'm not that sick anymore.

Blu's mom : fine but promise me that you'll be careful.

Blu : i promise mom. I will(smile)

Andy : are you sure you'll be okay? I can cancel today's appointment with the client. There's no rush.

Blu : I'll be fine. I'll give a call if i need any sort of help. Is that okay? (raise eyebrows)

Andy : okay. Just give me a call alright.

Blu : then excuse me. I'll be heading out first.

He left for his room, got changed with black button up shirt and black pants with a pair of loafers, with that outfit on he looked simple but classy and no one could say that underneath those appearance lies a broken  soul.

He drived through the airport and was waiting for Dave and finally he saw whom he was waiting for.

Dave : ( approaches Blu) did you wait long?

Blu : not at all. How was the trip? Did you get the deal finalize?

Dave : it was great. We got the deal and once this project starts, it's going to be so great for the future of our company. Leaving that aside, i have something to tell you.

Blu : really?  What is it?

Dave : let's head to the car first. I'll tell you on the way.

As they reach the car Dave insisted that he'd drive. He was already feeling guilty to call Blu to pick him up regardless of his health but today he wanted to have this moment just the two of them.

Blu : so what is it that you want to talk about?

Dave : (smile)  I'm planning to propose my girlfriend Aline.

One could see Dave's eyes beaming with happiness.

Blu : Are you serious? I'm so happy for you. I was wondering when you'd ask her to marry you. What took you so long?

Dave : you know how she is. She wanted to pursue her career and I wanted to achieve a certain goal in life too. Now that we've both achieve what we want, I want us to settle down and support each other.

Blu : that's just so great. So when are you going to take this step.

Dave : i haven't decided. That's why i wanted to have this talk with you alone. I have yet to buy a ring for her. I'm thinking of doing that now but if you're tired we can do it tomor...

Blu : tired?huh! I'm so bored staying at home doing nothing and you know I  love shopping . Let's get a ring for my sister in law. Ohhh!! I'm so excited

They drived to their desired destination and parked the car and headed towards the store.

.......................where as on the other side Oliver was waiting anxiously in his apartment cancelling all his schedule for the day in order to  meet this lawyer of Blu.

He made up his mind that he's not gonna let Blu find happiness with another man ,not realizing himself that his act is caused by jealousy and the reason leading to it is something he did never expect nor accept unless time proves him wrong.

He was all so prepared to lay is condition on the table. It was not him but Blu who always made the end decision but not this time. He was firm not to waver from his decision.

The doorbell rang  and putting on the all so evil smirk he opened the door but to his surprise it was

Oliver : Josh??

Josh : smile~

Oliver  : why are you here? Is everything okay? What about today's meeting? Who is handling it?

Josh : relax. I've already handled everything. Won't you invite me in?

Oliver  : I'm sorry. Please come in.

Josh : (gasp)  what have you done to your apartment? You should have called in a housemaid from your main house or you could have just called me. Gosh! what a mess.

Oliver : it didn't cross my mind to tidy it. ( rubbing his neck embarrassingly)

Josh : here, I  brought you lunch.( hands him over the packed container with food)

Oliver : that's great ( opens the container and sniff).emmm.. It smells great. Let me get the plates.

Oliver brings out the plates and spoons and sets it on the table.

Oliver : I'm  digging in.

Josh : is it okay?

Oliver : of course it is. Emmm...I can't stop myself from taking a second serve.

Josh : chuckle ~

Josh : so, why did you cancel your schedules for today? Have you been ill?

Oliver : No. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong with me. Actually Blu's lawyer is coming today to get the divorce papers so I'm waiting for him.

Josh : couldn't you just post it to his address? ( looks the other way)

Oliver : I can't.

Josh : why?

Oliver : emmm.. I didn't sign the papers yet..

Josh :.....em..why?

Oliver : i don't know but I don't want to give in to his wish.

Josh : didn't you want this? What is holding you back? (slightly raises his voice) sorry.. I'm.. I'm just worried for you. You've been acting strange lately

Oliver : I know you're worried about me and I'm lucky to have someone who cares for my well being but I don't want to discuss about this matter any further.

Josh : '........'

Ding.. Ding... Ding..

Oliver : i think it's the lawyer.

Oliver stands up from his place and heads towards the door.

Opens the door,

Lawyer : Mr Smith?

Oliver : yes.

Lawyer : I've  come to get the papers. I'll take on all the process from henceforth and...

Oliver : (smirk) but I never said I'd sign it.

Lawyer : excuse me. I didn't quite get you.

Oliver : Tell my husband that I want to meet up with him. I'm not going to discuss anything further than this.

Lawyer : stunt~

Oliver : where are my manners. Please come in and have a cup of coffee with us (smirk)

Lawyer : oh no thanks Mr Smith. I won't like to interrupt your time with your guest. If you'll excuse me, I'll let Mr Anderson know what you've told. Well then, I'll be taking my leave.

Oliver : well then, good day.

Oliver shuts the door and he could feel excitement flowing his veins. He couldn't wait for Blu to response to his action.

Oliver : 'what will you do now Blu? How will you avoid meeting me now. Smirk~ '

Someone was not happy with how the things were turning around. He was clenching his fist and if one took a closer look on it, they could see  one or two red marks made by the nails on his palm.
