Chapter 47: Dinner

Silent echo in the office as I sat down and uncle looked outside the building.

What should I say? I'm having a mix of emotions right now that I can't even know what feelings I should focus on. I'm happy but at the same time, I'm sad. What I can do? Can I still come back as a good child sitting back and always listening? What possibly I do with my position right now?

"Uncle, I'm so thankful for what you did to me as well Auntie. You don't have to worry about me anymore. I'm grown and I don't regret looking up to you as my parent, you raised me to be a beautiful well well-mannered girl. I'm so happy to have you in my back, uncle."

I let out a beautiful smile that I can't even do on an everyday basis. A pure smile that only you guys can let out. I'm thankful.

I stood up and bowed my head as I said "We'll Uncle, I will take my lead and leave the office now. Thank you."

Turning back and walking away from the office. As I look up there she is, standing in front of me. The beautiful girl I ever admired in my life, there she is again. Standing with her beautiful eyes starts to cry. Start to walk then run in my direction, hugging me tightly as I'm still figuring out what is happening. As time passed by, the crying noise became louder and louder as I heard my name. It's you, you come back as you held me. Keisha, you are here.

I didn't think about anything, I can't stop. My arms reach for her and embrace her as soon I get back to my senses. I miss you.

Slightly push her to see her face, I want to confirm if it is a dream or reality. It is her, my love you came back. I can't help but once again embrace the body I used to.

"Is it really you?" a little voice comes out of my mouth as my tears fall from my eyes. Hugging her tightly for the reason I miss her so much that even my tears can't help.

"It's me, I'm here again. I'm sorry I'm late." Keisha respond. Before even I spoke to her again, she started crying which her father heard, and got out of his office. She released me as soon as she saw her father, but then, I saw Maxine coming up the stairs. Before I realized I was already running towards her. How much I miss these girls to do something like this.

That moment lasted for minutes before calming down. I cried straight for those last minutes. I calm down as Maxine rubs my back and smiles at me. Joking around and said, "Stop crying, we're not going anywhere again." I felt relief as I heard that. What's else going to happen?

After calming down we once went inside Uncle's office to talk calm down and greet each other. "Don't you think it is too early? I thought you guys would come back in weeks or months but look at you, you are here." Uncle said to Maxine and Keisha. I'm still in surprise so I just looked down. I don't know what kind of face I should show to Keisha after all these years. I can't face here right now, my heart is not fully ready for this moment. I need time, but there is no going back.

"Keisha insists on going back right now. Actually, uncle we arrived this morning, I'm sorry we didn't contact you immediately. Keisha said that this time was the best time to come to you. I think she is right."

"With that said, I miss you Gel. I'm so glad to see you again." Maxine added.

"Well, you guys are right. This is the right time to show up. Angel and I just finished talking." Uncle said to Max.

Suddenly, Keisha hugged Uncle. "I miss you, dad." "Yes my daughter, I miss you too." Uncle responds as he rubs Keisha's hair.

Keisha turned around and looked up at me and said, "I'm glad you are doing well." I'm about to respond but then my phone buzzes as Jean is calling me. "I'm so sorry, I need to take this call." I excuse myself and answer the phone call. "Who is it Gel?" Max asked me. I cover the phone and answer Maxine. "Jeanette, it is jean." "Oh, her, how is she?" Max asked and I responded, "Wait for a minute." I talked about Jean for a minute and said that Max was already here and hung up. "She's doing well, don't worry." "Good to know then," Max responded to me and smiled.

"Well you know, we kinda made a plan to eat dinner tonight so-" Before I even finished my sentence Maxine said, "Then it's settled, let's eat dinner tonight. Don't you think it is a good idea? I will also call Sebastian to join."

"I will ask Jean, I would love to let you join, let's catch up," I said to them as I texted Jean to inform them about Maxine's Idea. She agreed and then we excused ourselves ourselves and went out. "Don't your husband going to join Keisha?" I awkwardly ask her.

"Don't need to, it's our time, let's catch up on things." She just smiles and I continue to drive to the location Jean sent to me earlier.

"I already met your husband as you know. He looks kind and he is handsome. You guys are phenomenal lovers, both have strong figures. I know you will look good together. " I said as I was driving. "Don't you hurt talking like that?" She said with a low voice, I can feel pain in her voice. Of course, I am hurt.

Maxine clapped to lighten the atmosphere. "So Ingel, you are in a high position right now in a job huh, I'm so happy for you." I smiled and replied, "Yeah, thank you." that was the last conversation before arriving at the restaurant.

Sebastian is already waiting outside with her girlfriend. Sebastian asked us if it was okay to bring her girlfriend. He also said he wanted to introduce her girlfriend formally to us and his sister.

His girlfriend is also good-looking looking, as expected by Seb. He knows how to choose a girlfriend. We all went inside the restaurant and saw Jean waiting. We sat down, I sat down beside Jean. Keisha seems still not to know my relationship with Jean so she sat down on my other side. "Let's order shall we?" Maxine said and so all of us looked at the table menu.

What would happen this evening? I hope all things go well. For now, let's just enjoy our meal.
