The Effect Of Her Past

Ezickiel Loui POV

After that day I can't contact her. We had several meetings with their team but the three of them was the only person who attend. Mr. Gu didn't ask about her, so I assumed that Kervin told him about the reason and what happen.

"Kuy's where are you going" Lauren asked me

I was packing my clothes because I will stay in Batangas for a week to inspect and watch the progress of the project I don't know if I can see her there.

"Kuy's I'm asking you?" Lauren asked again

"Sorry, I'll go to Batangas and will stay there for a week" I answer her

"Can I come" she asked me

"What will you do there?" I asked her back

"Treat it as a vacation" she answered

"But how about your shop?" I asked her again

"I'll ask my friend to look over it" she answered

Sigh I think she will give a lot of reason just to join and tag along with me.

"Fine, you may come" I told her then she hugs me and walk to take her leave when I remember something

"Stop" I said

"Hmm?" she hum

"There's a condition" I said

"What condition?" she curiously asked

"When you go there you won't leave without my permission. If you see her there-…" I was cut when she suddenly spoke

"So, I'm right I may see her there" she whispered

Tsk. Like what I thought she want to come just to meet her.

"Lauren, are you listening?" I asked her

"Y- yes" she stuttered

"Like what I said when you see her don't act on rashly, don't mention her second name, if you notice something odd, please ignore it and lastly don't ask a thing you must not ask" I remind her

"But Kuy's" she demands

"No buts or you won't come" I threaten her

With that she just nods and take her leave. I know that it's hard for Lauren to ignore or stop herself to be excited because she really misses Zhai so much. She treats her like her real sister, and I know how sad she is back then. Don't worry Lauren I'll try my best to convince and make her to recover from the past…

Zhaira Yurhie POV

I spent two days here and I hide the box I saw last time. I had enough and I better accept the reality and who I was today.

*Ting* message ringtone

I receive a message from Zhild that they will be go Batangas and spent a week to supervise the project. Since I was bored that I couldn't do anything here I packed my things and go there also. I have the responsibility to do, and it was trusted to me, so I better do my job accordingly.

"Oh, are you leaving?" Aunt Lily asked when she enter the house and see me at the doorway holding my luggage

"Yes, I have important business to attend" I said

"Don't leave yet I'll cook some breakfast before you go" she offers

"No, it's fine I'll just order take out on the road" I said to her

"Okay, be careful and come to visit again" she said

"Yes, I will" the last statement I said before I continue going outside

I ride my car and drove it directly to Batangas and after 2 hours of driving I reach my destination and book my room. I spent a one-hour rest then decide to go down to dine in but I never thought I would meet them at the lobby.

"Zhai you came" Zhild said and hug me but same as before I don't have reaction unlike them who was shocked seeing me here mostly the girl beside Loui

"S-s-Sis Zhai" she whispered and drop her luggage

She's about to approach me but a little voice shout

"Auntie Lauren" Kairon shout while running toward her

Lauren so she was that girl.

"Zhai" Chels call me

I look at her and they are also looking at me.

"What?" I ask them without any energy on my voice

"When did you arrive?" Gin asked me

"One hour before you came" I said

"I'll go first" I said them then I leave the place and go to the near fast-food chain

I'm in the que when a girl whisper at my back

"What happen to you?" she asked but I'm just listening and didn't look back until my turn on saying my order and I was turning my back to look for a table when I suddenly look at the girl, she was Lauren. I just pretend that I didn't see her and continue searching for a place and found a table for two near the window.

"May I?" someone asked but based on her voice I knew it. I nod at her sign that I agree then I eat my food while I sense that she was looking at me observing and hesitating at the same time

"I know you're confused and have a lot of question want to ask right?" I asked her

"Huh?" she pretends

"Go asked me?" I gave her permission and look at her

"But-…" she

"Okay so I'll start I have Alexithymia problems with feeling emotion. It causes of the accident 5 years ago" I started yes I know that Yarrah told her my accident

"So, this is the reason they talk about" she said

"Yes, I plan to meet you when the time I fully healed but faith won't let me" I explain to her

"It's fine Sis Zhai I just shocked that accident have an enormous impact on you" she said

But I keep my silence and look at the window

"Do I still look a human or I am now same as an AI robot?" I suddenly asked

"No, you are still human, and we can find a way to take back your old self" she said to me and smile

"I hope so" last word I say then I became silent bur her, she became cheerful while telling story on me…

Ezickiel Loui's POV

Were now looking for my sister because the time Zhai left us at the lobby she followed it and now I and Clayton was searching for her.

"Bro. look" Clayton pointing to a Fast food chain, and we saw my sister happily talking to Zhai who is listening only on her.

"Come on let's go back" I told him

"But how about them?" he asked

"Let them spend some time" I said then walk

He didn't speak after that he was just smiling at me.

"What's with the smile?" I asked

"I was just happy that there's a way for you to be close to her again" he said then run

What the… he's really something. But I'm happy for my sister that they can spend time with each other again. I hope I may have that chance too…

Elizza Lauren POV

After an hour we spent the fast-food chain, we are now heading back to the hotel. When I asked her

"Sis Zhai can I asked you something?"

"Go" she approved

"Kuy's told me that don't call you on your second name, so I wonder why?" I asked her that make her to stop and look at me

"Can we go there first" she suggests pointing at a bench

"yup" I said then we go there and sit

"Do you know who always call me that name?" she asked me

"Nope" I answer

"That person was very dear and special to but at the same time he was the reason of my pain and sorrow" she said looking at the sky

"Is he your boyfriend?" I asked

"Ex-boyfriend" she said

"What was his connection about it?" I confusedly asked her

"If other person calls you to the name that person who hurt you used to do, could you bear to hear it causing you to remember the pain he brought on you" she stated

"Yeah, your right" I said

So that's a painful past of her. I hope she and my Kuy's was the one who end up being together before. She wasn't like this.

"Let's go back" she said

Then we head back now to the hotel, and we saw the guy whose called Zhild by Kuy's Clayton las time

"Where did you go?" he anxiously asked Sis Zhai

"I take a walk and grab some food as well" Sis Zhai explain to him

"Uhm…I'm still here" I said

"You're with her?" he asked Sis Zhai again

"Yes" Sis Zhai answered

"Lauren I'll go to my room now take a rest okay" Sis Zhai said then left me with this guy

"Where did you go and how come she was with you?" he asked me

"We just take a walk and grab some food" I told him

"So, if you don't have any question I'll go now" I said then I heard something before I leave

"Did your Kuy's asked you to be closed to her so that she can have a chance then?" he asks but I don't want to argue with him and spoil my good mood, so I left him pretending that I didn't hear his question.
