CHAPTER 29 & 30 (SEMI & GRAND FINALE)~~
DEENA’S POV
I got lost in my thoughts in a moment after what Ryan just said.
“Deena can’t you give me a chance? I can treat you better than Tristan” Ryan cut into my thoughts.
“What!” I uttered coldly looking at him.
“I’m been serious Deena, we’ve known each other from birth don’t you think I’m a better match for you than Tristan. I know I’ve been a coward for way too long and that’s why it took me ages to confess my feelings for you” He added.
“Ryan you know this isn’t right. I’m in love with Tristan and that’s something I can’t change. We’re still friends so I will pretend you never said any of this” I said seriously about to walk away but Ryan held on ti-ght to my hand.
“Deena I can’t let you leave like this. I know it within me that you love me, you’re only been blinded with Tristan’s love but that’s not real Deena. We’re each other’s first love, why can’t you see that” Ryan yelled and I shoved his hands off.
“You nee-d to get back to your senses Ryan. What has come over you? Why are you behaving like this? Did someone put you up to this? You’re not my first love, Tristan is my first love so what are you saying” I said with a frown.
“Deena what’s wrong with you? What he do to make you fall for him so foolishly that you can’t see what’s right before your eyes. Deena I’m always protecting you and wishing you safety. Tristan claims he loves you and he agreed to let you go back to work immediately after leaving the hospital, do you still think he cares or love you? Anyone who loves you will disagree to this idea Deena. I’m hoping you un-derstand how I feel right now” Ryan said trying to get closer to me but I moved away.
“This is my choice and I’m fully recovered so you have no right to judge Tristan. If you’re going to continue uttering nonsense, I will take my leave and don’t you dare stop me. You’re acting like you’ve lost your mind” I said seriously and Ryan grabbed my shoulders ti-ght as he tried to for-ce his li-ps on mine.
“We can never confirm your feelings unless we give it a try so ki-ss me Deena” Ryan said struggling to ki-ss me but I kicked his balls and he winced letting me go.
“Deena why can’t you see me in a R0m-ntic way. What do you love so much about that Tristan of a guy? I’ve got better sources than him. I’m closer to your dreams Deena but he’s just an ordinary reporter. What does he have to offer? Nothing!” Ryan yelled still in pains from my kick.
“You should get back to your senses. I have no idea what’s come over you” I said pa-nting then I ran to my car.
Heartbeat raced nervously as I tried to wave the flashes of what just happened.
I got into my car hurriedly and drove down to Tristan’s workplace.
I dialed his number before getting down from my car.
“Tristan, I’m at your workplace. Can you please step out for a minute, I’m at the parking lot” I said over the phone.
“Alright dear, I will be out in a minute but is everything okay?” Tristan asked curiously over the phone and I swallowed ha-rd.
“I’m fine. I will be waiting for you at my car” I said
“Okay, I’ll be out now” Tristan said and I hung up.
“Everything’s okay now Deena. You’re out of Ryan’s grasp” I said as I exhaled and inhaled slowly.
TRISTAN’S POV
I slide my phone into my pocket after speaking with Deena over the phone.
She didn’t sound okay over the phone. Is everything okay at home? I questioned in my head then stood up from my seat.
“Tristan are you done for the day?” Max asked with his eyes fixed on me.
“Not really, Deena dropped by she’s at the parking lot” I said calmly.
“I guess she’s becoming anxious because you’re not talking about taking your relationship to the next level” Max said almost in a whisper.
“What! What are you saying? In what way are you implying” I asked staring at him and he smiled then stood up from his seat and brou-ght his li-ps closer to my ears.
“You haven’t done it yet right?” He asked and my eyes wide-ned as I glared at him.
“What are you saying? Done what?” I asked almost in a whisper and he chuckled.
“Tristan why’s your mind so dirty” Max teased and I looked away.
“Look who’s calling me dirty minded. I have to go now, Deena’s waiting for me” I said shaking my head as I laughed to Max’s dirty word then I left for the parking lot.
I got to the parking lot, I looked around trying to get a glance at Deena’s car but Deena got down from her car and walked to me.
“Deena how are you?” I asked softly and she gave me a hu-g.
“Is everything okay?” I asked curiously.
“Everything’s fine since you’re here with me” Deena uttered slowly and I broke the hu-g.
“Something happened right? What happened Deena? You were training at the field but why are you back early? Did something happen when you were training? You didn’t possibly hurt yourself right?” I asked anxiously and she stared at me warmly.
“Tristan you were right about Ryan” She said lowly.
“Ryan? What happened to Ryan? Did he do anything foolish to you?” I asked seriously and Deena smiled.
“Not at all. Nothing happened. Anyways I’m hungry let’s go eat something” Deena said with a smile.
“You said I was right about Ryan. Deena did he say something to you?” I asked curiously.
“No he didn’t” She said looking away.
She’s definitely hiding something. Did Ryan confess his feelings to Deena? I questioned in my head seriously.
“Did Ryan confess his feelings to you?” I asked and Deena stared at me in surprise.
“He really did but why did you stop yourself from telling me?”
“I didn’t want to upset you that’s why. We’re in a relationship and Ryan doing something like that when he knows you’re my boyfriend, it’s not right of him to do such” Deena said and I hu-gged her.
“Why would I get upset over such, as long as he didn’t cross the line while doing that then I’m fine with that although he crossed the line by telling you about his feelings. Deena what you feel for me matters more” I said calmly as I caressed her back.
I’m pretty sure something else happened. Deena wouldn’t feel this nervous while we’re talking about this. But what on earth did he say to her? It’s not like I wasn’t expecting this but why am I so damn curious. I uttered in my head as I pat Deena’s back.
Deena’s stomach grumbled and I chuckled.
“I will go get my things so we will grab something to eat on the way” I said with a smile and she nodded.
I ki-ssed her forehead then head back into the office.
I quickly grabbed my laptop and my bag then went back to the parking lot.
“Tristan let’s go with your car” Deena cut in sharply and I laughed.
“We should go with yours but I will do the driving. Let’s go” I said softly and she sli-pped her fingers into mine.
I have to get to the root of my curiosity, I just can’t let Ryan have his way. He definitely crossed the line by confessing to Deena. I muttered in my head seriously.
AUTHOR’S POV
GU’S MANSION
Mr Gu and Sansan were seated at the balcony upstairs having a cu-p of coffee.
“I can’t remember the last time we sat together to have a cu-p of coffee like this” Sansan said excitedly.
“You’re being silly again. We’ve been so busy building our careers and that of our daughter so how do you expect us to seat like this when we’ve got so much on our plates” Mr Gu said and Sansan rolled her eyes.
“You’re being ridiculous as well. Regardless of our busy life, there’s always a private time for family but you made your work your personal life. I’m glad we’re back on track” Sansan said with a wide smile.
“We’ve lived a good life and that’s why we were blessed with a good daughter. You have me to all yourself now, this life is too short to be spent all on work. Come to think of it, we haven’t heard from the Cho family” Mr Gu said as he sat up right.
“In what way exactly?” Sansan asked.
“Or they don’t have any future plans for our daughter” Mr Gu said with a frown and Sansan laughed silently.
“Honey, don’t pressure the poor doctors. We should leave such decisions for Tristan and Deena to make, after all it’s their life and this isn’t the time for us to worry about that. We should be concentrating on Deena’s competition” Sansan reminded and Mr Gu sighed tiredly.
“Deena’s competition isn’t one of my worries right now, after all this isn’t the first time she’s competing so why would I worry about that”
“Now that’s shocking from you” Sansan said still staring Mr Gu in surprise.
“What’s shocking about that?” Mr Gu shrugged.
“You were obsessed with Deena’s competition. You pressured her whenever any competition is close by and now you don’t see it as a challenge. What happened to you Gu?” Sansan asked obviously impressed and he smi-rked.
“I’m a good father so why do you make it sound like I was a terrible Dad” Mr Gu pouted and just then they saw Tristan drive Deena home.
“Whenever I see them together, I feel so fulfilled. I don’t think I regret accepting their relationship” Mr Gu said smiling widely.
———
“Tristan you’re not coming in?” Deena asked as they both got down from the car.
“I would have loved to but I have to rush off to somewhere right now. Deena say hello to your folks for me. Bye love” Tristan said then peeked Deena’s cheeks before leaving.
“Alright, call me when you’re done okay” Deena uttered waving at Tristan.
——–
Tristan got into a taxi and put a call across to Ryan.
“Let’s not waste anytime across the phone. I’m pretty sure you’re still at your workplace. Let’s meet up there” Tristan said over the phone and hung up.
“Chauffeur please hurry” Tristan said to the driver.
Tristan drove down to MEGA MOTORSPORTS then got down.
Ryan was waiting for him outside already.
“Tristan what was the call for?” Ryan asked coldly.
“I have no idea what you did to my Deena but I’m warning you this should be the last time I see you around her. I won’t take things lightly if you get anywhere close to Deena” Tristan threatened with a mean look.
“You don’t own Deena so what gave you that right” Ryan said seriously.
“Deena’s my girlfriend and I won’t tolerate disrespect from any party on her so stay clear from my Deena. That’s what I came here to say to you” Tristan added with a frown then walked away.
CHAPTER 30 (FINALE)
AUTHOR’S POV
“Tristan who do you think you are to threaten me? Deena and I have been friends since we were kids, do you think just this few words can make me stay away from Deena? You must be out of your mind” Ryan said seriously and Tristan turned around.
“Do you think hanging around Deena, will make her fall for you? You should know your place already, I’m too strong of a rival for you so let’s not waste either of our time over this. Deena and I love each other and been clingy around her won’t change anything but I find you uncomfortable, you can’t call yourself her friend and still have R0m-ntic feelings for her. What kind of friend are you? You want to come in between your best friend’s happiness and ruin yours as well” Tristan said coldly and Ryan looked away.
“You have no idea what this feels like” Ryan said bitterly.
“Don’t lose the little respect Deena still has for you. You should be happy for the both of us and let everything go. I’m leaving” Tristan said then walked away.
——-
GU’S MANSION
“Deena you should do something about Tristan” Mr Gu said to Deena.
“What do you mean Dad?”
“Don’t you have future plans about getting married to Tristan?”
“Dad what are you saying? Tristan and I aren’t ready for marriage yet and that’s the least of our plans right now” Deena said lowly and Mr Gu hit her lightly on her arm.
“What’s wrong with you? Why would you say such a thing to your father? If Tristan isn’t saying anything about it then you should initiate the idea, you guys are not planning on dating forever. Your mum and I aren’t getting younger either” Mr Gu said.
“Honey, let’s not rush them. They’re obviously taking things slow” Sansan said and Mr Gu glared at her.
“You’re the mother here, you’re supposed to be doing this not me but what, taking things slow? What if Emerald finds another doctor lady for his son after all he nee-ds someone to take over the hospital right” Mr Gu said and Deena looked at him with a frown.
“Dad why would you even utter such a thing? Tristan and I are taking things slow so Dad stop pressurisng me. I’m going to bed, good night mum” Deena said seriously then walked to her room without even turning back.
“It’s not like I said anything bad. What’s wrong with youngsters nowadays” Mr Gu shrugged and Sansan shook her head.
I can’t believe Dad would go to such extent just to pressure me. I can’t believe him. Deena said in her head angrily as she sat down on her bed.
Tristan’s call came in.
“Tristan” Deena said over the phone excitedly.
“Are you still up?” Tristan asked softly over the phone.
“Yes. Are you done with the emergency?”
“I’ve sorted it out. Since you’re up let’s meet up outside your gate” Tristan said over the phone and a wide smile appeared on Deena’s li-ps.
“Right now?” She asked excitedly.
“Yeah, I’m outside your house” Tristan said and Deena hung up quickly without notice.
“Oh my goodness, he came without even telling me” Deena said smiling widely then she ran out of her room.
Mr Gu was seated at the sitting room having a glas-s of wine when Deena got down the stairs.
“Deena why are you going? It’s getting late” Mr Gu said and Deena ignored him.
“Deena!” He called but Deena ran off already.
Deena ran out to the gate.
“Deena!” Tristan called out softly and Deena ran into his embr@ce.
“Did you miss me that much? It feels like you’re sneaking around” Deena teased.
“Come on, there’s no crime in sneaking around to see one’s girlfriend and I miss you so much as well. We couldn’t talk much while we were having dinner” Tristan said.
“Let’s go grab a cu-p of coffee nearby” Deena suggested.
“Sure, let’s go my love” Tristan said and he sli-pped his fingers into Deena’s as they head to the nearby cafe.
They got to the nearby cafe.
“Get us two cu-ps of latte please” Tristan placed their order before taking their seat.
“Dad was saying some silly things earlier” Deena cut in as they waited for their order.
“Really? But I’m hoping it’s not against me”
“Nevermind, you will probably get upset as well if I tell you about it” Deena tried to avoid the conversation.
“Was he referring to this?” Tristan asked softly as he dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out a ring.
“Tristan!” Deena called out in surprise.
Tristan stood up from his seat placing one of his knees on the ground.
“Deena will you marry me?” Tristan proposed with a smile. Deena covered her mouth with her palms in surprise.
Luckily they were no customers at the restaurant, just them.
Deena nodded continuously as she smiled widely.
“Yes I will marry you Tristan” Deena said excitedly.
Tristan took her hand gently and slide the ring into her ring finger.
Tristan ki-ssed the ring softly before standing up.
“Thank you for saying yes” Tristan said blus-hing ha-rd as he leaned forward and ki-ssed Deena on her li-ps.
Deena broke the ki-ss as she realized they’re outside.
“Tristan, we’re in a public place. What if people come in here” Deena said feeling so shy.
“Who cares! You’re my fiancee now. It feels like I’m on top of the world, let’s seat down” Tristan said smiling widely.
“I love you Deena and I want to make you the happiest woman on earth so I’m happy you gave me an opportunity to fulfill that wish for a lifetime” Tristan said pas-sionately as he held Deena’s hand gently.
“You proposed out of the blue, I wasn’t even expecting it. When did you get the ring?” Deena asked grinning.
“I got it long time ago. I was waiting for the perfect time and this is”
“But Tristan, we’ve got lots of plans in the coming months” Deena reminded and Tristan smiled.
“Come on love, there’s no rush. Let’s fix a wedding date after the championships” He smiled calmly and Deena smiled.
“Seems like you’ve got everything planned out. You never seize to amaze me, you’re full of surprises Tristan” She said lost in his eyes.
“Maybe I sometimes know when to do the right thing and that’s why I earned some point”
TWO MONTHS LATER….
Finally the day everyone have been waiting for has finally arrived.
The championship is taking place in Australia. Deena flied down to Australia with her teammates for the competition.
“The race is about to begin. Mum where are you right now?” Tristan asked over the phone as he head to the stadium to take his seat.
“Tristan you should be with Deena but why are you alone? I’m pretty sure she nee-ds some positivity from you before the race begins” Abigail said anxiously over the phone and Tristan smiled.
“Mum, trust me Deena doesn’t want to see me now. She said we should only see after the race so you can’t blame me” Tristan said jovially and someone tapped his shoulders from behind and he turned around.
It’s Evan.
“Hi, you must be Tristan right?” Evan asked politely.
He must be Evan because Ryan knows who I am. Tristan uttered in his head.
“Mum I will call you back when the race is over” Tristan said over the phone and hung up.
“Yes I’m Tristan. You must be Evan. You flied all the way to Australia to watch the race?” Tristan asked politely.
“Yes, I didn’t have any choice. My fiancee for-ced me to come with her” Evan said with a smile.
Evan’s engaged. Tristan uttered in his mind and Layla joined them.
“Hi Tristan” Layla greeted after crossing arms with Evan.
“Tristan, meet Layla my fiancee”
“Congratulations Layla” Tristan said politely.
“Thank you” Layla said with a smile.
“I’m quite surprised you flied down here to watch Deena’s plan”
“Deena’s my cousin and for the first time in history, I want to support her sincerely so we will take our leave now. See you after the race” Layla said with a smile.
“See you around Tristan” Evan said and Tristan nodded.
“Alright” Tristan said slowly and they left for their seat at the stadium.
————
Deena was standing next to her car putting on her helmet.
I failed before, I can’t fail again. I nee-d to win victory for my country. Deena muttered in her mind with full determination.
———–
GU’S MANSION..
Sansan is patiently waiting for the race to begin while Mr Gu is busy on his phone.
“Honey the race is about to begin. You should put your phone aside and watch the race” Sansan nagged.
“Stop disturbing. I’m looking around for cozy wedding venues, my only daughter’s wedding can’t take place in just any where” Mr Gu said seriously with his eyes fixed on his phone.
“Gu you’re taking things too far. Picking a wedding venue should be done by the couples. Why are you taking things far? And I think you’re overreacting. We should concentrate on Deena’s competition first” Sansan said and Mr Gu scoffed.
“We would be fixing the wedding date after the competition and we still don’t have any idea to add up when we will be meeting the Cho family”
“Are you not worried about Deena’s performance?” Sansan asked looking at Gu.
“Deena will put her all in this championship, I believe my daughter. It’s not my fault you don’t believe her. Sansan stop distracting me” Mr Gu Gr0-ned as he changed seat.
“The race has started” Sansan announced and Mr Gu’s eyes became fixed in the TV.
“Look who’s saying he trusts his daughter” Sansan mocked.
“Whatever” Mr Gu shrugged watching the race with full concentration.
The race started, two cars have pas-sed Deena’s.
“Come on Deena, you’ve got this” Mr Gu screamed.
Deena increa-sed her speed..
“Oh my goodness, I can’t watch. Honey can you please tell me what happened next” Sansan said covering her eyes with her palms.
Minutes later….
There’s one opponent left for Deena to pas-s before getting to the finishing line.
“Go for it girl!” Mr Gu cheered anxiously.
Deena closed her eyes as she increa-sed her speed.
Deena pas-sed her opponent with her eyes closed.
ONE WEEK LATER…
TRISTAN’S POV…
My family and I went to Mr Gu’s mansion to fix the date of our wedding.
“Mr Gu, congratulations on your daughter’s victory. She brou-ght victory back to our country” Dad said with a smile.
“She’s my daughter so it’s obvious she will always do great things” Mr Gu br@gged and everyone laughed.
“She’s this great at racing, it’s all thanks to me. I was a professional racer when I was younger” Mrs Gu added making everyone laugh.
“About the wedding date? When do you think is more suitable?” Mr Gu asked quickly and Mrs Gu pinched him but he glared at her.
“Why are you being too forward” She whispered to him. And everyone boost into laughter on hearing that.
“We decided to let the bride family decide” Dad said calmly and I could see the excitement in Mr Gu’s face.
“You made the right choice by allowing us decide. Luckily we chose a date already. What do you all think about next two weeks” Mr Gu announced and everyone looked at him in shock.
“Dad, two weeks that’s close. We’ve got lots of things to do for the wedding” Deena complained and I caressed her shoulder.
“Tristan what do you think? We can make anything possible as long as you agree to it” Mr Gu said.
“The date is perfect. I accept it, I’m fine with it father-in-law” I said with a smile.
I can’t be anymore happier Mr Gu. Thank you so much. I uttered in my head excitedly.
“Tristan are you sure you’re okay with it?” Deena asked worriedly.
“Of course sweetie, let’s get married. I’m tired of not always been around you. The date is perfect and thank you so much father-in-law” I said hu-gging Deena playfully.
“Tristan what are you doing?” Deena laughed as I tickled her.
“Silly boy” Mum laughed.
“They can’t hide their affection” Mr Gu smiled.
“I love Deena so much so my affection can’t be hidden” I said jovially and everyone laughed.
THE END!!
They lived happily ever after ???
