CHAPTER 23 ~~
TRISTAN’S POV
“You knew each other from highschool?” Deena asked a bit excited.
“Kinda but I don’t remember him in a good faith. How small the world can be” I scoffed and Deena looked at me confused on my reaction.
“Did something happen between you two in highschool?” She asked looking at the both of us.
“We did some childish things then, not really a big deal now” Devon said with an awkward laugh.
“Really? What happened? Were you two close friends?” She asked curiously.
“No way, we were nothing like that” I cut in sharply.
“Seems like Tristan got some grudges against me. Come on, it’s all in the past now but that doesn’t mean I’m not getting what I want” I smi-rked looking at me.
There’s no way you’re getting Deena so just forget about it. It’s a lost battle. I sneered in my head glaring at him.
“Tristan what does he mean? What happened between you two?” Deena asked curiously.
“Deena can’t you read the atmosphere, Tristan doesn’t want to talk about it so I guess it’s better you stop asking” Ryan cut in and I scoffed.
“What do you mean Ryan, it’s not even a big deal so why do you think I wouldn’t share it with my girlfriend. Devon and I had a fight back then in highschool so that’s why I don’t remember him in a good faith” I blurted.
“You had a fight. Tristan you don’t look like the fighting type it must have been something serious, what was it that prompt you into picking up a fight?” Deena asked excitedly as she got more interested in the conversation.
“I was nothing big just some childish stuff and misun-derstanding” Devon cut in sharply.
Why are you trying to cover up? Are you scared Deena will see you in a different light if we come all clean. I uttered in my head with a sm-irk.
“Really… Haa… I was expecting to hear something more interesting, how disappointing” Deena pouted and I pat her shoulders.
“It was quite interesting then but like Devon said it was just some childish stuff we did. Anyways, let’s go back in so you take a rest. We nee-d to build up back all your energy for our flight in two days time” I said with a smile and Deena nodded.
“I will carry you on my back, let’s go” I said positioning for her to hop on but a nurse walked up to us with a wheelchair on her hands.
“Sir you requested for a wheelchair?” The nurse asked facing Ryan.
“Yes I did, thank you” Ryan said and carried the wheelchair from the nurse.
“I will take my leave now” She said and left.
“Ryan why did you ask for a wheelchair?” Deena asked with a blank expression on her face.
“You should have a little pity for Tristan, he carried you down here all by himself. Don’t you think he’s tired? And why go throu-ghall that trouble when you can just ask for a wheelchair” Ryan said adjusting the wheelchair and I frowned.
“I wasn’t complaining” I said obviously faking a smile.
“It’s okay, I un-derstand. There’s no way you would be honest to Deena about something like that, no guy would want to be that lazy in front of their girlfriend. Let’s stop talking already. Deena hop on” Ryan said with a smile as he tried to hold Deena’s hand but I shoved him away.
“I can do it” I said seriously and carried Deena on my arm then placed her on the wheelchair gently.
“Tristan I think you should rest as well. Don’t you have any work today? Don’t you think you’ve been slacking back with your job just because of Deena?” Ryan added and clenched my fist angrily.
“Tristan is that true?” Deena asked obviously concerned.
“Of course not, you know exactly how diligent I can be to my work. Taking care of you is my priority and it doesn’t affect my schedule so I don’t have any problem looking after you. Let’s go and don’t put much thoughts into it, it’s not worth it. I’ve got this” I said with a wide smile then peeked her forehead.
“Let’s go” I said standing behind her, holding the wheelchair handle.
“Emm… By the way, Ryan I saw it on the news yesterday that you’re going back to China tomorrow because you’ve been replaced with someone else as a coach since Deena is still hospitalized and I don’t think it’s proper for you to stay here when the board are waiting for you. It’s not like you’ve got any work left to do here” I said sarcastically as I pushed Deena’s wheelchair leaving the both of them behind.
“Tristan, you didn’t really have to get back at him like that. You probably made him feel worse, I know so well that Ryan blames himself for what happened to me and that’s why he’s still in Spain hoping I get better soon” Deena said calmly and I scoffed.
“He’s obviously trying to push me away from you. What’s his use of staying if I’m here with you. He’s only making things a little uncomfortable with us. Your mum’s here and I’m here as well, he should get back to work and stop getting in my way” I said seriously and Deena chuckled.
“Don’t tell me you’re jealous of Ryan? Come on Tristan, stop holding such silly thoughts. Ryan and I are just best friends and we’ve been so close ever since we were little maybe he’s trying to adjust to my new relationship” She said.
“I’m a guy as well and I don’t think that’s the case here”
“Are you trying to say Ryan has feelings for me?” She asked and I nodded.
“Isn’t that obvious, his words and actions are doing the whole work or am I the only one seeing that” I mumbled and Deena laughed as she caressed my hand from the handle.
“You think too much Tristan, why do you even bother worrying about such when you’ve got me. I’m all yours and that’s what you should be confident about” She as-sured and I smiled.
“Of course love” I said with a smile and I could watch her blus-h from behind.
I’ve got some confident in myself as well. After so many years of dreaming and hoping, I finally made the woman of my dreams my girlfriend. I muttered in my mind with a smile.
RYAN’S POV
“Tristan is one cunning dude. He has placed you in a ti-ght sp-ot, there’s no way Deena will let you stay back when you’re been summoned” Devon said coldly.
“You think I don’t know Deena will do that” I uttered out seriously and he scoffed.
“I think you should give up, don’t make things complicated for yourself. The look in Deena’s eyes when she’s looking at Tristan, is very intense and pas-sionate. You’ve been best friends for decades and she didn’t develop feelings for you. Don’t you think that’s enough reason for you not to keep on hoping” Devon suggested and I glared at him.
“We’ve been friends for years so I’m pretty sure there must be some feelings, she might not be able to realize it because Tristan is bu-ttering her with so much attention and care. Wait a minute, why am I even discussing this with you when you’re also my rival” I said with a frown and Devon laughed.
“I’m different from you. Do you have any idea why Tristan and I had a fight in highschool? We didn’t just pick up a fight once, we fought multiple of times and do you know why because we don’t give up. If you push ha-rder, you might even lose Deena as a friend. Friendly reminder” Devon smi-rked then turned around to leave.
“Where are you going?” I asked sarcastically.
“I’m flying back to my country. Deena’s doing fine and that’s what I came here to confirm. See you in China” Devon said waving at me from behind as he walked away.
Why should I give up when I haven’t even given it a try. It’s better to get rejected then do nothing just like a coward. I uttered in my head then head into the hospital.
AUTHOR’S POV
TWO DAYS LATER…
At the airport, Deena, Tristan and Sansan have arrived at the international airport in China.
Deena’s arrival was kept unknown to the public so reporters wasn’t given a tip off.
Tristan pushed Deena’s wheelchair while Sansan walked beside them.
Sansan had some bodyguards with her so they carried their luggage.
Suddenly Gu and some bodyguards showed up at the airport, Mr Gu walked towards with a very mean expression on his face.
“Mum what’s Dad doing here? Did you tell him we will be arriving today?” Deena asked anxiously.
“Of course I didn’t. Why’s he with bodyguards?” Sansan questioned as they watched Mr Gu walked to where they were.
“Deena you’re coming with me” Mr Gu said seriously.
“What do you mean Dad? I’m heading to Guangzhou for my treatment” Deena said defiantly and Mr Gu glared at Tristan.
“Is he the je-rk from Hainan?” Mr Gu asked with a wicked smile.
“Hello sir” Tristan greeted but Mr Gu ignored him. Tristan had a glance at his wristwatch.
“Deena it’s almost time for our flight to depart” Tristan reminded.
“Darling we have to get going now, we nee-d to catch up a flight to Guangzhou. This drama isn’t nee-ded here, people are watching. You’re always talking about your image and you can’t even protect your image in public” Sansan said seriously.
“Are you in support of this? You knew all along Deena was going out with this poor low ranking reporter of a man? Is this the kind of man you want your daughter to end up with? Did we work our bu-tts off just for our daughter to end up with someone like him” Mr Gu said furiously.
“Sir, I know you have so much to say about my relationship with your daughter, if you don’t mind you can go with us to Guangzhou so we discuss about this like civilized people. You know so well how important Deena’s health is to everyone” Tristan said coldly then pushed Deena’s wheelchair as they head to the gate house.
Mr Gu stood there in disbelief as he watched Tristan take Deena away.
“Sansan did he just call me uncivilized? He literally just said I’m uncivilized” Mr Gu said dumbfounded.
“I’m not in the mood to listen to your nagging either. I’ve got a flight to catch. If you’re done here, you can as well fly down to Guangzhou with us” Sansan blurted then walked away as well.
“What the hell are you still waiting for? Go book me the next flight heading to Guangzhou” Mr Gu yelled at his secretary with his hands in his pockets.
He dare to call me uncivilized. Mr Gu uttered in his head angrily.
TBC…
