Chapter 11: Surprises…
Ding! Dong!
Ding! Dong!
Ding! Dong!
"Wait, I'm coming! Who will it be at this time?" Tomoyo said to herself as she walked out from her room and hurriedly went to get the door. It's almost midnight and she has just finished talking with Eriol on the phone. Yesterday was great for Tomoyo. She couldn't believe that Eriol got into a fight for her during the dinner when a drunken guy in his late twenties hit her and almost harassed her. And best of all, she couldn't believe that Eriol confessed his feelings to her and she did the same to him after he has finished.
"God! What happened to you, Sakura?" Tomoyo gasped seeing a pale, sneezing, tired, shivering, clothes not really dry and totally worn-out Sakura standing outside of the door. Tomoyo immediately brought her in and locked the door before gesturing her to the bathroom.
"Sakura, what's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be back in another few days time?" Tomoyo asked with concern.
"Moyo…" she said softly before tears started coming out from her eyes. Tomoyo hugged her as she rocked back and forth, trying to make Sakura feel better.
"Come on now, take a hot bath and tell me later. I do not want you to get cold now as you are and sicker." Tomoyo said as she got out from the bathroom, leaving Sakura to take a bath. While Sakura was having a hot bath, Tomoyo called Eriol.
"Eriol…" Tomoyo called his name.
"Yes dear, what is it? What's wrong with your voice? You don't sound happy at all."
"Eriol, Sakura just came back and why would she come back at such a time? She doesn't look happy at all to me. And today is not supposed to be the day she's coming back from the hill. It's supposed to be a few days more. I don't know what happened in these few days and when she came back, she looks like she went through hell. She was totally tired, in a mess, sneezing, shivering and she looks like she-"
"Look Tomoyo, calm down. Whatever happened to her, just make sure she gets a good rest. Don't ask her to say anything, alright? Wait till tomorrow until she's better. Make her something nice and warm. Did you say she was sneezing and shivering?"
"Yes."
"Oh dear, I hope she's not getting a fever. Check her temperature, if she's sick… then get her painkillers and we'll fetch her to a clinic tomorrow, alright? Don't worry too much, Tomoyo."
"Alright, Eriol. Sorry for bothering you at such time."
"Don't worry, Tomoyo. I don't even mind if you're calling at 4 in the morning at all. I'll answer the phone whenever you call, will that makes you better?"
"Yes, Eriol. Thank you so much."
"It's alright. If you want to thank me, why don't we tell Aunt Yelen tomorrow about our relationship now? Maybe she will cancel off your supposing marriage with my cousin." Tomoyo wasn't quite sure about Eriol's suggestion. If her marriage is going to get cancel, this will leave Sakura alone and she can never do that. Not only that, will their company not merge together but will it affect Sonomi and Fujitaka?
"Tomoyo, Tomoyo, are you there?" Eriol asked when she didn't answer back for quite a time.
"Oh, bye Eriol. Talk to you sometime." Immediately Tomoyo put down her phone. Meanwhile, Eriol was surprised with Tomoyo's sudden voice.
Is she alright?
I wonder if she's thinking about what I said earlier?
I just hope she will—
"Eriol… I'm sorry. I didn't know that my action has caused a big mess." Meilin barged into his room and apologized before she walked out.
What the hell just happened? What's wrong with Meilin and Tomoyo and Sakura as well?
After walking out from Eriol's room, her eyes were filled with tears. Abruptly she wiped her tears away but it seems that it's not helping at all. She overheard a little much of Eriol's conversation with Tomoyo and God, she has just realized that both of them were in love with each other but it's not going to work and it's all because of her. All because of her. Walking back to her room, she passed Xiao Lang who has just walked past her as well. She didn't even bother asking him where did he went like the usual her will be asking his whereabouts. Strange, Xiao Lang thought and even more strange he finds that Meilin's eyes were all red. He stopped.
"Meilin… what happened to you?" Xiao Lang's voice was filled with concern.
"Nothing, Xiao Lang. It's just because nothing that I made into something." With that she ran back to her room. Xiao Lang shook his head as he walked into Eriol's room. Knocked a few times before Eriol let him enter.
"Yo, where did you go?"
"No where. Why bother asking when you know I won't bother telling you? How's everything these few days?" Xiao Lang asked as he walked over to one of Eriol's chair.
"Are you trying to underestimate me on how well I'm going to manage everything without you here?" Eriol asked mockingly as he finds it was quite amusing as well.
"You know what I mean, right?"
"Nope, everything went well. Guess what?" Eriol said happily.
Xiao Lang gave Eriol one of his 'how-the-hell-do-I-know-what-you-want-to-say?' look and Eriol just smirked.
"Spit it out." Xiao Lang knew he would have to say that and it's pointless anyway.
"I'm with Tomoyo now." Xiao Lang's mouth dropped open.
Did I just heard he said he's together with Tomoyo?
"Yup, and don't give me that stupid reaction. You heard it right. I'm with her now."
"That's good. Daidouji is a good one."
"As usual. You know the good old Eriol for years." Xiao Lang smirked hearing him.
Yar, the real flirty Eriol that I know since I'm still in diapers…
xox
The next day…
"Son, I want to hear what your opinion and not just sitting here waiting for your answer." Yelen said as she placed a stack of magazines on her table.
"And you too, young man." she said as she refer to Eriol. She was surprised. Really surprised. She didn't know that their relationship with their so-called soon-to-be wives which they had no idea about it were that fast and close. Pictures of Eriol and Tomoyo were all over the covers of the magazines together with some of the photos where Eriol was fighting with a drunken guy for her and even the kissing part was there on the cover as well. Xiao Lang was not good either. His photos with Sakura in the hill were all on the magazines and even the worst of all, it stated that Xiao Lang was two-timing Felicia and Sakura. It really pissed him off because it was all Sakura's fault.
"Now I know where you went these few days." Eriol silently whispered to Xiao Lang and immediately he gave his usual death glare to Eriol. Meilin was in Yelen's room as well, shocked, surprised and realized her big mistake is getting even bigger now. Just when Yelen wants to ask another question, Tomoyo walked in together alone.
"Good morning Yelen-san." Yelen bowed.
"Where is Sakura?"
"She's sick, Yelen-san. We went to the clinic this morning." Tomoyo explained. Leaving the fact that Eriol fetched her and Sakura there before returning back to the hotel. Tomoyo got a call from Meilin half an hour later, asking both of them to get to the hotel. Hearing Tomoyo saying that Sakura was sick, Xiao Lang started to think.
Sick?
What happened?
"I see. I hope she'll recover soon."
"Yelen-san, may I enquire why would you want to see me?" Tomoyo asked.
"Tomoyo. I would like to ask you a question." Tomoyo nodded not knowing why everyone was at silent. She didn't know what is going on as well as Eriol and Xiao Lang when they walked in there 10 minutes ago.
"Are you having a relationship with Eriol? And I mean the intimate one." Tomoyo gasped silently as she looked up
How did she know?
That question was lingering her mind the moment Yelen finished and looked at Eriol. Eriol mouthed two words, telling her to just admit.
"Yes, Yelen-san. Eriol and I are together for some days." Tomoyo admitted and Eriol sighed, knowing that he and Tomoyo would have a long explanation later.
"I-I've got nothing to say about it." Yelen was surprised too. She was thinking that she will not admit it but seems like it's different.
"I've got to say th-" Her words weren't finished at that time when two figures walked in. Meilin sighed and Eriol with Xiao Lang surprised. Tomoyo was even more confused on what was going on.
"Yelen, we're here now. What would it be that you would like to tell us?" The first one to voice out was none other than one of Eriol and Xiao Lang's cousin, Xiao Fung.
"Yes Yelan, good day. Xiao Fung and I need to see the Elders later. So what is this that you would want to see us now?" Xiao Chen asked, standing right next to Xiao Fung. Xiao Fung, he's Xiao Chen's elder brother. Age: 29 and he owns a hotel and a mall.
"Well, may I present you your soon-to-be wife, Xiao Chen… Daidouji Tomoyo."
Just as what she told us yesterday…
That she will introduce her…
But why so soon?…
Didn't she say a few weeks later?
Eriol and Tomoyo were stunned.
Too stunned.
What did she said? Both wondered.
Xiao Lang was stunned too.
The moment he heard Yelen said once more.
"Yes. And Sakura will be meeting Xiao Fung soon. As the status of Xiao Fung's soon-to-be wife."
