Lina stared back
at Amelia with disbelief. "Excuse me?"
Amelia repeated
patiently, "I would like you to stop hanging around with my fiancé."
"…Why?" Lina
asked this softly.
"You want him to
be happy right?"
Lina nodded.
"Then let him
have his happiness. He doesn't have time to spend with someone like you who is
poor. Don't you want the best for him?"
Lina bit her
lips. I do want Zel to have the best. I do…but I thought you liked to hang
out with me. Maybe he was just pretending to be? I don't think he was…that is
not like him at all. But…what if he was? "I do want the best for him. I
do."
"Then just stop
hanging with him. He doesn't need someone to burden his life." Amelia smirked
to herself. Would she believe that?
Lina stared at
Amelia. He thinks I'm a burden? But didn't he tell me that he didn't love
Amelia at all? Was he just lying to make me look like a fool? Lina stared
quietly at her hands. Maybe I am hanging out with him a bit too much. That
isn't very healthy for a taken man. But still he could have told me, couldn't
he?
Lina looked back
up. "Ok. He deserves the best, so I'll leave him alone."
Amelia smiled
widely. "That'd be wonderful!"
Lina smiled, but
it was forced. "Yes. Well it was nice meeting you." Lina got up and went to the
counter to pay for her coffee. Lina turned back around. "Please don't pay. I'll
pay for my own coffee." With that Lina left.
Amelia just
smiled smugly to herself. "Looks like I won this round."

Zel leaned back
from another painting job. This time he painted a request he got from the art
studio. He painted breathtaking scenery of Mt. Sorak San (1). He picked up his
cellphone and called Lina's pager number. He got a message indicating that the
pager number was no longer in existing. He stared back at his phone. "What in
the world?" He tried again and got the same message.
~*~*~*~
Lina came out
from the pager company. She changed her pager number for Zel's sake. Zel…I'm
sorry. But I want the best for you…please just get on with your life and marry
Amelia…
Lina sighed and
went to the hotel where she was going to quit and get another job somewhere
else.
