Chapter 24

Madam - "Mike, why are you taking her to your room? Is she sick?"

Mike - " I think she is. Her forehead was hot."

Madam - " Is it like that? I'll find a new clothes for her since she is sick. Let me change it for her.."

Mike - " Okay, mom."

Monica's thought - 'Wait.. what??'

Monica - " Madam, wait a minute! I'm fine.. I'm fine.. I doesn't need to change my clothes."

There, she is done for. Mike gives a smile yet, it seems she needs to give an explanation for him. Madam also give a sweet smile to her and left the room.

Monica's thought - 'Damn, what do I do?'

Monica - "Um, I'm fine now. Aa..Now I remembered I have something to do at home.. I'm leaving.."

Mike holds her hands and kissed it.

Monica (Blushing) - "What are you doing? Stupid.."

Mike (Smiles) - " Hehehe, you love me.. Or did it hear it wrong?"

Monica (Blushing) - " N..no, I ..I love you.."

Mike smiles like a kid that just got a candy.

Monica - " Stupid.."

Mike - " Hehehe, I love you too.."

Madam - " Ahem.. So you're that little girl?"

Monica comes out of Mike's bed and hold Mike's mother hands.

Monica - " Yeah, it's me. I am sorry I wasn't good at taking care of his feeling to me.. So to make up for it, I will love and cherish him for a lifetime. I promise you that, madam.

Madam patted her head gently and hugs her. Slowly she whisper to her ear, seems it is a secret between those two. A minute after that, Monica's turning red and not only that, her face too. Madam gives her a sweet yet gentle smile before she left to go to the kitchen.

Mike's thought - 'What are those two whispering? What my mom told her?'

Mike - "Mon, what's my mom whispers to you?"

Monica turns to Mike and Mike can see her face and ears is turning red. Seems he noticed it but he still doesn't have any clue about it. He holds Monica's hands and pull it closer to his bed. He touches her face and looks at her. Monica looks at him too.

Monica (Blushing) - " It.... It's nothing.. You stupid.."

Mike (Confused) - " Did I do something wrong again? What are you calling me stupid? Is it something about me, Mon?"

Monica (Shocked but still blushing) - "Stu... Stupid! It.. It's not about you, it's about me.."

Mike (Suspicious) - "Okay, seems like you don't want to talk about it.. We'll talk whenever you're ready."

He smiles and patted her head gently like his mother do. Seems it like mother, like son. Monica smiles and she glad Mike was always trusting her.

Monica - " Mike, thanks.."

Mike - " Whatever you want.."

They hugs each other. It like the world already theirs. So peaceful and felt like they are the last person on the earth. Their love keeps blossoming.

It's not end yet, how could it called love if it was so easy. Finally Mike's love has reached Monica's heart and how about other guys that still not given up on her? We shall see to the end of this..

Monica (Blushing) - " Hmm.. Mike, you still hugging me?"

Mike - " Hmm?"

He still hugged her and seems he doesn't plan to let her go.

Monica (Blushing) - "Mike? Are you listening to me?"

Mike (Still drowned on his world) - " Hmm..?"

Tap .. Tap..Tap

The sound of footsteps seems to be his mother. Hearing that, Monica pushed him to his bed and she's standing like nothing is happening there. She still blushing. Mike's shocked that she pushed him but he still catches a glance at her face, he smirks. He stares at her which makes her even more embarrassed.

Madam - " Are you done with making up? Come downstairs.. Monica, do you mind to have a dinner with us?"

Madam looks at her eyes and they seems interacting with each other.

Monica (Blushing) - " Yes, madam.."

Madam (Annoyed) - " If you're serious with him, then you're looking at your future mother in-law."

Monica (Shocked) - " Aaa..madam.. I .. I mean I'm sorry.."

Madam (Still annoyed) - " You should call me Mom instead.."

Mike was a little shocked hearing his mother's statement. He grabbed her hand and brought her to other room. Leaving Monica all alone in his room. He closed the door. He touched his chest and looked at his mother's eyes. He was waiting for her to say something. He waited and wait. Until his mother finally smiled, her hand touched his face. He lowered his head and she kiss his forehead.

Madam - "It's alright, my son. You're my son after all, you can do it."

Mike - "You think so? But, this much is too shocking. Just let.. takes it easy.."

Madam - "Okey.. If that's you want.."

Monica stunned by the statement. She goes out of his room and he also just came out too. Their eyes meet each other. No single sound or words come out from his mouth or hers either. She looked at him in the eyes and her hands started playing with each other. She smiles and felt the room was fill with awkwardness. The sound of door opening breaks the silence. Mike's mother came out. She looked at them.

Monica - "I think I can't join you, Madam.. I apologize... Excuse me.. I .. I will leave now.."

Madam looked at her and smiles. Monica going to the downstairs and the sound of the door sounded really clear in the silence. Confused about what was going on, she glanced at Mike. Her facial shows that she want an explanation.

Mike - "It's okay... She is just shocked... That's all." He entered his room and locked himself up.

He looked at his drawers, he walked there and sat down on his chair. He slowly opened one of the drawers that seems like it was locked down. He took a key and opened it. There was full of her pictures, her stuffs and he took one of the pictures. He stared at his mirror. He was all alone in his bedroom, no footstep of his mother's sounded outside his room. He held the pictures and smirks.

Mike - "You're finally mine.."

"Argh!" She suddenly felt a little bit cold, she went to her wardrobe and was searching for a blanket. She took it and covered it up on her body. She felt a little unwell that day. One thing felt missing from her eyes, the feeling of regret didn't subsided. That feeling began growing a little, she wondered why is that.

Ding..ding...ding.....

The sound of text popped up on her phone screen. She looked at it, it was from Mike. She took it and open the text. A lot of love emojis was sent by him. Without taking a lot of time, she replied. He sent again the love emojis, she stared at it.

"Is this right?" She touched her forehead.

"I don't know anymore what am I gonna to do.." She sighed.

"Somehow, this didn't seem right. This feeling.. it was supposed to go away.." She held her phone. Her blank eyes kept on reading the text, somehow she can not find a strength to reply him. She put away her phone and let herself on her bed. She held her pillow and glanced at the clock. It been 4 hours since she confessed at him.

"Argh.. I don't want to think about it anymore. This is right.." Her eyes lowered down and she closed her eyes. She opened her eyes again and suddenly her eyes felt heavy. She then fell asleep.
