Is It Really Over For Us?
It's been a week and until now Miao and Badeth are still not talking to each other. She's not answering all her messages and calls. She also does not let her in to their mansion.
Miao is getting more depressed.
"You might get sick if you skip your breakfast again." Rael commented.
But Miao only shook her head, her eyes are still swollen.
"Xiao Miao Miao do you really want to get sick!" Xander shouted.
"Maybe it's better for me to get sick, it's better to die than getting hurt over and over again." she replied.
The two sighed.
"Twinnie, don't say that." Rael hugged her.
"Why don't you talk to Vlad? Your problem won't be solve unless you two will talk to each other." said Xander.
Miao sighed.
Her phone suddenly beeps, she saw Vlad's message.
"Talk to him Miao." said Xander.
He's right, maybe it's time to fix all their problems.
.
....
"I heard what happened to Miao and Vlad, I feel sorry for them." said Zol.
They are now preparing foods for lunch.
"Yeah even I can't believe it, who wouldn't be surprised that Miao's best friend is my brother's ex-girlfriend?" Saoirse replied.
"I hope we don't end up like them, I can't live without you." said Zol while pouring water into the glass.
Sao, on the other hand, remained silent, until now their relationship is still secret. She doesn't know how will she announce to the public about their relationship. She's afraid that if everyone find out, they might ruin Zol's life.
She did not want to hurt his feelings.
"Hey are you okay?" Zol asked.
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine, let's eat?" she said.
He smiled then nodded.
.
....
"Are you sure you will come with me to Hong Kong?" Hyun asked while checking Jinji's papers.
"Yeah, if I stay here, Gyu will only bother me." Jinji replied while looking out the window.
Her mom still have no idea about her pregnancy, and in case she find out, she doesn't care anymore. The only thing that matters to her now is her baby. She wants to live with the child peacefully.
"Okay, after they approve your papers, we can leave immediately." said Hyun.
She glanced at him. "Thank you."
He approached her and held both of her shoulders. "Don't worry, I will take care of you."
.
....
Vlad is in the park now and sitting on the bench, he glanced at his watch.
He and Miao will meet today.
He immediately smiled when he saw Miao walking towards him.
"Freak." He was about to hug her but she quickly avoided him.
"I only came here to talk with you."
Vlad keep staring at her, wondering what she will say.
Miao sighed. "Vlad… let us.."
Vlad keep staring at her.
"L-Let us break up."
Vlad feels like he had been stabbed multiple times in his heart by what he had heard. "What?"
"Let's end this Vlad, I can't take it anymore... seeing someone is getting hurt because of our relationship."
"But Miao it's not our fault. Please don't do this to me."
"Vlad please..."
"Why are you doing this to me? Is that really easy for you to break up with me? Have you ever think about what will I feel?"
"Do you think it's easy for me, too? I love you Vlad but this is what I have to do!"
"If you love me you will not do this to me!"
"She needs you Vlad! And she loves you!"
"But you are the one I love!" Vlad held his hand. "You are my life Miao, if you leave me..."
Miao withdrew her hand, she could not stop crying. "Vlad please… let's not torture each other anymore."
"But you're torturing me already because of what you are doing!"
"Vlad why are you so stubborn!"
"You are the one who is stubborn Miao"
"Why can't you understand me?"
"Miao please… don't do this to me. There are many other ways to fix this issue, she will understand us soon."
"There is no other way Vlad, she needs you."
"I NEED YOU TOO!"
"Don't be selfish!"
"You're the one who is selfish here!"
"Vlad please…"
"How can I live if you're not in my side? Why are you pushing me to the person I no longer love?"
"That's enough Vlad… please… let's not make this long, we will only get hurt and suffer more."
"Im begging you Miao please don't do this."
"I don't love you anymore!"
"Really? I know it's only your excuse to make me stay away from you, but I don't belive it."
He hugged her. "Please… don't leave me."
Miao pushed him. "No Vlad, let's end this."
"NO!"
"Why don't you listen!"
"COZ I LOVE YOU AND I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!"
She keep crying, what Vlad's doing made it more difficult for her.
"Y-You will also be happy with her… y-you will forget me too."
"HOW DO YOU KNOW? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ALSO HURTING INSIDE NOW?"
"Vlad enough please! I am tired!"
"I'm not tired yet, I will fight for you!"
Miao shook her head. "It's useless, let's forget each other please…"
"I can't Miao… I can't.." he kneeled. "Please...don't, I'm begging you. Don't leave me."
"I'm sorry Vlad but I'm tired now. Promise me that you will take care of her, please don't make her cry. And love her like how you loved me. I love you Vlad but… good bye.." she turned her back on him.
But he hugged her from behind. "Please don't do this…"
"Let us not see each other anymore..please." she used all her strength to let go from his hug and then began to walk away.
Vlad shouted because of so much pain.
It was so painful!
Miao is his everything.
Miao can't stop crying when she returned in her car.
This is the best way for both of them, she doesn't want to see Badeth getting hurt again.
She needs to sacrifice her love for her happiness.
It may hurt her but that's the only way.
.
....
Vlad's tears flowed unceasingly as he stared at the ring he was holding. When he returned home earlier, the delivery boy came and delivered something. He saw inside the box the ring he gave to Miao. She returned it.
He was in so much pain, he have no idea how will he cope it. He closes his eyes and clenched his fists.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
He tossed the things on his table, he threw the flower vases, figurines and other things.
"Why are you doing this to me? Why!!"
He sat down while crying.
Why did Miao have to leave him?
.
.
Like Vlad, Miao couldn't stop crying. She locked herself in her room and cried. She grabbed the necklace she's s wearing, this is the necklace that Vlad had given to her.
She gave back all the things Vlad gave to her including the ring, except the necklace. This is the only thing that will serve as her memory with Vlad.
She loves him very much but she only did the right thing, although it was painful but she had to accept that she and Vlad would never be together again.
She looked out the window, it's full moon.
She cried again…
"I'm very sorry Vlad..." she whispered and hugged her pillow.
.
....
Rael stared at the full moon, thinking of Xander and his mom. She can feel that Xander's mom doesn't like her but she loves him and no matter what happen she will not leave him. She trust Xander…
.
....
Gyu is drunk again.
He doesn't know what to do anymore, why he's so stupid?
He hurt the woman who truly loved him.
They'll having a baby soon but she already left him.
He poured the wine again in his glass and took a shot then looked out the window…
.
.
Hyun slowly opened the door of Jinji's room, the light was off but the lamp shade beside the bed was on. He heard her crying again.
He sighed.
He knew she loves Gyu very much.
Although he's always there for her, she still can't forget him.
She will never love him as much as she loves Gyu.
He clenched his fists and closed the door. He leaned against the door and closed his eyes.
He loves her so much… but will she love him too?
She only see him as her brother.
He sighed again. All he wants is his sister's happiness.
He promised that he will make her happy, maybe it's time to fulfill what he promised.
.
....
As the days passed, Miao and Badeth still not talking with each other.
Vlad also stopped bothering her.
She's staying in her room all day, lying on bed and crying, she even skipped her meals. Her parents are already worried about her. They know what happened and they feel sorry for their daughter.
The Xiao family and the Gu family have not yet discuss the issue. It will also be better for them to not talk about it for a while.
When she finally got bored, she decided to go out to breathe some fresh air.
She went to the mall to relax.
She forced a smile as she looked around the mall.
She will miss this place.
She stopped in front of the shop where Mei and her fought, Vlad also defended her here and proudly said that she was his wife.
She held back her tears and walked away from the shop.
She passed by the café where her friends and her love to eat, this is also the place where she first met Vlad. This was the
place where she stole a kiss from Vlad.
She looked up and tried to stop the tears, why did she went here in the first place?
She continued walking.
She stopped again when she reached the center of the mall, the place where she discovered Badeth and Vlad's relationship.
Her tears fell. She wiped it off quickly, she was about to leave when she accidentally saw Vlad and Badeth.
She was surprised to see the two together… wait, why was she even surprised? Isn't this what she wanted to happen?
She looked away and tried to leave but..
"Bes!" Badeth suddenly called her.
She stopped walking.
Badeth approached her. "I-I'm sorry about what I have said before." Badeth said.
She forced a smile. "Aren't you mad at me?"
Badeth smiled and shook her head. "I understood everything now, Vlad explained it to me. You didn't know that he's my ex-boyfriend and it's not your fault. He told me that you broke up with him when you found out about us. I'm sorry for hurting you."
She held her hand. "There's no one to blame here, everyone make mistakes."
Badeth smiled again. "Yeah I know, and I'm happy that Vlad came back to me… but I'm still guilty of what happened to you I know that ----"
"Don't worry about me, about Vlad and I, it's only a fixed marriage. We don't really love each other." she said without looking at Vlad.
Vlad just stares at her. You can't see any expression on his face.
"Thank you bes… I hope one day you will also find the right person for you." Badeth hugged her.
"I'm happy for you bes, I wish the happiness for the both of you." she said while holding back her tears.
"If you guys are done talking we should leave now I have important meeting to attend." Vlad said.
"We are leaving now, bye bye!" Badeth hugged his arm.
"Take care." Miao said.
Vlad passed her without even looking at her. They are now strangers to each other. She
watched them until they were completely gone from her sight.
Miao covered her mouth and burst into tears.
.
...
"Dad."
Miao's dad stopped reading the magazine when his daughter approached him.
"Yes?" the old man asked.
Miao sat down next to him. "Didn't you say before that Yeye misses me so much and he wants me to take a vacation with them in Beijing?"
(Yeye means grandpa in chinese)
"Yes he did, why did you asked?" her father asked with curiosity.
"I want to go to Beijing, I want to live there." she said.
Her father was surprised by what she said. He knew that Miao did not want to stay long in Beijing, because his grandpa was very strict so she did not want to live there. But why does she change her mind? "Do you want to
live there because of…"
"Dad I miss yeye."
Her dad sighed. "Okay, if that's what you want. I'd rather see you smiling there than always
being sad here."
"Thank you, dad." she hugged him tightly.
It's time to move on…
