CHAPTER 5 ~~
DEENA’S POV
Next morning.
I woke up and head out to the sitting room to get a glas-s of water.
“What a beautiful morning” I yawned stretching out my arms.
I had a flashback on last night.
~”It’s time to go to bed but where am I sleeping?” I asked curiously.
“Take my bed. I will sleep on the couch” Tristan said.
“Why would you decide on something like that? I’m a guest here so I can’t take your bed, go ahead and sleep on the bed while I sleep on the couch” I cut in and he carried the pillows he kept on the couch.
“Where are you going with them?” I asked curiously.
“Since you’re not sleeping on the bed so I’m taking my pillows. This is my favorite pillow. Good night” He said about to walk to his room and I held his hand.
“Are you really leaving me here to sleep on the couch?” I asked with a frown.
“You said it yourself, I should have my bed and I’m too exhausted to argue with you on that so I will respect your words and sleep on my bed” He said with a silly smile.
“What kind of a gentleman are you? I actually said those words because of courtesy and now you’re making me feel bad for being polite” I pouted and he went back to the couch and lie down.
“Good night and please turn off the lights” He instructed turning to the other side of the couch.
I smiled watching him, back me without uttering any word. ~
“He’s so professional” I laughed as I walked to the fridge but some write up was written all over the fridge.
~ Deena you’re not allowed to take more than one cu-p of ice cream a day ~
~ Don’t even think about having more than one can of jui-ce ~
~ You can’t keep on eating like it doesn’t matter and we won’t live to see tomorrow. We will eat and leave for tomorrow. Do you un-derstand ~ Tristan wrote on short note paper and placed them on the fridge.
“Why do you have so many restrictions? Yesterday you were totally fine with it and now you have instructions written all over” I mumbled with a little frown and opened the fridge.
“Oh my goodness, what happened in here? This dude is a psycho” I gasped as my jaw dropped with my eyes fixed on everything inside the fridge and all the write up written on each and every thing inside the fridge.
“Tristan you’re a professional, you would have just politely locked the fridge because this torture. How do you expect to sit at home and watch all this yummy things around me and still can’t even touch it” I Gr0-ned and closed the fridge ha-rd after grabbing a bottle of water.
I gulped down some drops and placed the bottle on the table staring at an empty space with a frown.
Wait a minute, why am I behaving like I’m being cheated when he’s actually being of a great help to me. Deena you would have gone back to that hell of a home if Tristan isn’t a nice person so be grateful to him for saving your life at least. I muttered in my head looking around.
“Never in my world, did I ever think of ending up like this but I’m happier this way, no one to give me an earful of lectures and I don’t have to live to impress anyone here so this is what freedom feels like” I uttered out with a faint smile.
I walked to the sitting room and turned on the TV then sat down on the couch.
~ I’m so glad to come up with this wonderful idea and I hope and wish, China always come out with the cu-p. I’m here to make China proud and I’m happy I will be going back home, it’s been a while ~ Layla said on the TV and I switched off the TV.
I don’t think it’s all behind me. I can still see it right here from my distance that she’s better than me. Being competitive is so exhausting. I uttered in my head tiredly.
“Good for her, she’s finally coming back to China” I sighed frustratedly.
FLASHBACK***
Years back on when Layla was about to compete for the nationals, I tripped from the stairs at the stadium and dislocated one of my arms.
“Layla you said we would compete together. Can’t you just let this one go, we can participate in the next nationals” I requested and Layla placed her hands on my shoulders, bringing her mouth closer to my ears.
“We can only have one winner in the Gu family. I’m sorry cousin but that winner is me, you will always come second it’s been signed” Layla said with a malicious smile on her li-ps.
“What are you saying cousin? I thought we’re on the same side? Why are you sounding like this” I uttered feeling betrayed by her words.
“Quick recovery cousin” Layla said and walked away.
I watched her walk to the backstage without turning back. *** FLASHBACK ENDS.
I guess that was the last time we stayed on same team and goal. Automobile racing is my dream but why’s everyone making it ha-rd for me to push throu-ghwith my dreams. I muttered in my mind as the arm I dislocated years back suddenly began to hurt again.
“Why does it still hurt like it happened yesterday?” I questioned looking at my arm.
SANSAN’S POV
I was seated at the office when Weiwei and the inspector walked in.
“Weiwei do we have any news yet?” I asked curiously as I stood up.
“Please seat down” I added and they sat down.
“Good day ma’am” The inspector greeted.
“Good day inspector, any news about my daughter’s whereabout?” I asked curiously and Weiwei placed her hand on mine.
“I think he got some news” Weiwei uttered and I smiled nervously.
“Ma’am, Miss Deena got into an accident close to a tunnel but someone saved her. Luckily she was captured at the road CCTV footage” The inspector said showing us the video of the accident.
“Oh my goodness, Deena what were you thinking?” I questioned in panic as I watched the footage.
“But how come the face of the person who saved her is very unrecognizable, even the plate number is ha-rd to tell” I asked looking at the inspector.
“Don’t worry ma’am, we will look into it and I think we’re done now, I will take my leave” He said packing up his laptop.
“Thank you very much inspector and I’m hoping to get positive feedback from you. Thank you” I said politely.
“Don’t worry ma’am” He said.
“Yujin thank you so much for your help, I will see you out” Weiwei said about to stand up but he stopped her.
“Don’t worry Weiwei, I will see myself out” He said and left my office.
“I thought you just knew each other but you’re closer than I thought. Addressing each other by your names” I pointed out.
“Yujin’s family and my family are family friends so that’s why we address each other with our names. Thank goodness we know Deena’s fine”
“How can you call that fine? Some stranger took her away and probably didn’t even take her to the hospital, what if he’s a bad person or did something terrible to Deena or even kidnapped her from there. My daughter is beautiful so I’m scared even kidnappers wouldn’t ask for ransom if they kidnapped her” I said worriedly.
“If he’s a kidnapper we would have gotten a call now or Deena must have managed to escape. Deena is athletic and base on the footage, even the rescuer hesitated before taking her into his car. Before we crown anyone a kidnapper, let’s see things in a good light. I’m pretty sure Deena’s safe, we just have to find out where she is and if she’s out of danger” Weiwei advised and I smiled faintly.
“What’s Gu’s reaction? It’s been days now. Don’t tell me, he’s still isn’t worried?” Weiwei added and I scoffed.
“Of course he’s worried but will never show it or he’s worried because Layla is coming back to China. What a competitive Man” I hissed.
“Now that’s not good”
TRISTAN’S POV
Max walked up to my desk, staring at me like he was watching TV.
“I don’t usually notice people’s stare at me but why’s yours so obvious? Is there something on my face?” I asked with my eyes fixed on the article I was typing.
“Tristan is there something you’re not telling me?” He asked looking at me suspiciously and I smi-rked.
“Sorry that’s not working on me, try ha-rder. And where’s your question coming from?” I asked sarcastically.
“We’ve been friends for years and I can tell if you’re hiding something” He said and I turned to him.
“What do you wish to hear from me?”
“Did you get yourself a girlfriend?” He asked with a silly smile and I chuckled.
“What the hell are you saying? Why would I have a girlfriend when someone stole my heart already”
“Exactly my point and that’s why I’m curious. Base on my observation, you look insecure and at the same time happy. You and I know so well that Deena ran away from home” He blurted and I looked at him in shock.
“Where did you get that information?” I asked almost in a whisper and he smiled.
“I got this information from you. You were going throu-ghso many websites yesterday, looking for any information about Deena. That’s so unlike you because you don’t get information about Deena from the internet but get it from a direct source. Don’t worry my li-ps are sealed, I’m not publishing that” Max smiled and went back to his desk.
He got keen eyes. He’s very observant as well. I’ve got to be careful, I’m pretty sure other reporters got this kind of skills as well. I muttered in my head and went back to the exclusive I was typing.
“Tristan, you have a guest” The receptionist announced then went outside.
“Guest? What guest?” I questioned and stood up from my seat and head out to the reception room.
“Tristan!” Someone called out waving at me from the door.
Perfect height but not as perfect as that of my Deena, beautiful legs but nothing compared to Deena’s and her voice sounds familiar. I don’t remember having any female friends. I uttered in my head as she walked closer to me.
“Ta-da!” She said excitedly and removed her nose mask.
“Layla!” I called out in shock.
“I’m back” She smiled.
“Oh my goodness that’s Layla. I thought she was coming back tomorrow, she’s so pretty in person” Some workers murmured and I grabbed Layla’s hand and we left for the lobby.
“What are you doing here?”
“What does it look like I’m doing? Of course I’m here to see you. You’re the first person I came to immediately I landed in Shanghai. You missed me right” She said smiling widely.
Ha! This isn’t good. I sighed tiredly in my head.
