Chapter 12: Letting go…
It's been more than two week already since the day Yelen introduce Xiao Chen and Xiao Fung into Tomoyo and Sakura's life. The rumors about them have died down. Eriol has turned into a whole mess from that day onwards. He has been drinking every night at some club nearby and never did he felt so frustrated, so mad about himself in his life. All his anger was put into his work and whenever anything goes wrong, he would yell and go mad about it although it's a small matter. His anger gone even worse Xiao Chen has returned back to the hotel as an order from Yelen. Not only that, Mr. Fong's project was taken back by him which turned out that Tomoyo has to work with Xiao Chen. He has not been seeing her since that day she decided that both of them better break up and move on with their own life and be happy for her. As if they never meet before.
Since that day, he had never talked to her… Not a single hi or a bye…
Since that day, Xiao Chen has been bringing her everywhere together with him… everywhere…
Since that day, he had never had lunch or dinner with her… and he never had lunch anymore from that day onwards…
Since that day, he felt the whole world is against him… lonely, he thought…
Since that day…
It was his entire fault, he thought. If only he didn't ask her to admit about their relationship…
If only he had never fallen for her…
If only she never came into his life… will he be back to his old self…
If only he could forget her… just once…
If only…
Damn!
It's just too hard to forget her!
Everytime he's in the hotel, he could hear his subordinates and workers talking about how great Xiao Chen and Tomoyo together… How they look like a perfect couple… Just everything about them and it drives him crazy! Real crazy! God, he just wants to die… just want to stop hearing how great both of them to be together… It's just too much… too much to take… He couldn't be happy… He couldn't move on seeing the one he loves with another person… but…
Well, everyone would wonder what happened to Xiao Lang?
Nothing!
Not a thing, well at least that's what he thinks about himself but not for others…
"Ne Kim-Eun, would you help me to give this to Mr. Hiraigizawa? I need it to be signed now." Tomoyo asked the moment she reached Kim-Eun's desk. Xiao Chen has sent her to ask Eriol's signature for the last paper that he needs to sign for Mr. Fong's project.
"Ah, Tomoyo. I'm surprised to see you here. It's been a week I have not seen you since you're working right down the level below me and alright, I'll help you to give this to Mr. Eriol. Hey, why would you call Mr. Eriol not by his first name anymore?" Tomoyo was surprised. Surprised that she didn't expect that question out from Kim-Eun.
"Nothing much, Kim-Eun."
"O.K., umm… Tomoyo why don't we go for lunch together? Right after I have Mr. Eriol signs this document?"
"Alright. Then, I'll wait for you here and then we go to my desk and get my purse."
"Sure. To tell you the truth, I've got a confession to make." Tomoyo wondered what Kim-Eun told her as Kim-Eun walked into Eriol's office. A while later, Kim-Eun walked out and gave the file to Tomoyo. Tomoyo bowed slightly as she walked back down to her desk.
5 minutes later…
"Tomoyo, are you done? Let's go now." Tomoyo nodded as Kim-Eun leaded the way to the basement.
"So Kim-Eun, what is it you would like to confess?"
"Tomoyo… will you forgive me if I tell you my confession?" Tomoyo was puzzled.
Huh!
What is she trying to tell me?
"I don't understand what you're trying to say, Kim-Eun but I know there're no reasons why I should forgive you since there's nothing wrong you did to me."
Kim-Eun nodded. "Alright, Tomoyo… please don't be angry. I-I just want to tell you that… that… I-"
RING!
Tomoyo's phone rang. Louder and louder. "I'm sorry Kim-Eun. Let me answer the phone for a while, alright?" Tomoyo said as she got into Kim-Eun's car.
As Kim-Eun started her car, Tomoyo was talking.
"Yes, Xiao Chen……Alright…… Yes… Tomorrow… right… I'll get you the file when I'm back from lunch……Yes… It's the second one… Alright…… When?... … No… wrong one. It's the second one on the left not right… Alright… Tonight? You want to have dinner with me tonight?... … You don't take a no… … … But I-… Yes Xiao Chen… … Alright… … Yes… Then I guess… … … Um… I'm not so sure… It's O.K… Alright… See you then… Bye." Tomoyo sighed as Kim-Eun turned to look at Tomoyo.
"So, dinner with Mr. Li tonight?"
"Yar. I guess you heard me saying that he doesn't accept a no right?" Kim-Eun giggled as she nodded.
"So where are we going now?"
"A new café."
"So… what did you want to tell me?"
"Well…"
Kim-Eun's face was turning shades of pink and Tomoyo was wondering why.
"You know Kim-Eun… I don't understand your facial expressions."
"Alright. We are here." Kim-Eun said as she parked her car aside. Tomoyo looked around.
"So fast?"
"Well yar. It's 10 minutes from the hotel." Tomoyo sweat dropped being silly. After ordering what they want and picking a place they want to see, Tomoyo asked again.
"So?"
"Well… I just want tell you that Mr. Eriol asked me out for a dinner tonight." Kim-Eun said it so happily and Tomoyo slightly smiled.
Mr. Eriol asked me out for a dinner tonight.
So he finally moved on.
"And that I… I love Mr. Eriol."
I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol. I love Mr. Eriol.I love Mr. Eriol.I love Mr. Eriol.I love Mr. Eriol.
Is that what she's just trying to confess?
Is that all?
"I know it's weird a little to ask your permission but you will bless us right if I get to be Mr. Eriol's girlfriend? I mean it's a little weird for a woman to court a man but I have love Mr. Eriol for a long time. I don't mind if you were his ex-girlfriend but I was hoping that you won't have anymore feelings to him right?"
She continued, "Well actually Mr. Eriol asked me for dinner tonight. Just now actually… in his office. That was the first time actually and it's all of a sudden. He said sort of like a date."
"But actually I think it is just him trying to get your attention. He asked me out when I asked him to sign the document as you were waiting outside there." Tomoyo slightly gasped as Kim-Eun sounded so sad.
"I mean I was wondering why you are calling Eriol, Mr. Hiraigizawa. I mean his ex-s still calls him Eriol and the ladies he used to date are those flirty ones so I guess they just don't even care on addressing him. I thought you call Eriol, Mr. Hiraigizawa means that you still have feelings for him. I mean I can still see that he loves you as he doesn't look happy anymore. When he broke up with his ex's I never see him so different. He's totally different now. "
"Kim-Eun…" Tomoyo took a deep breath before getting all her strength to tell Kim-Eun one shot.
"Kim-Eun, I won't say that I don't love Eriol anymore. I can't deny that I don't love him which means I still love him but… it's only as a friend. We won't be together which is impossible because I'm getting married to Xiao Chen. Yes. I don't see any reasons why I should forgive you since there's no reason why not. I told Eriol to move on and be happy but he doesn't look happy to me. I just hope that you will make him happy. Make him happy like before I came into his life."
I mean why should I forgive her?
I asked him to move on.
He finally did and Kim-Eun is such a nice person…
She deserves him and he deserves her…
They both deserve each other…
I never deserve him, right?
"Kim-Eun, don't worry. He has move on. That's the first sign of him moving on, right? He's not trying to get my attention like what you think. It's him… finally knowing that he should move on and you are the right one that he has chosen. He must have realized that you have been there when he's sad. That's why he chooses you now." Kim-Eun nodded. Tomoyo. She's happy for them, doesn't she?
I would not cry for him for moving on…
I would only cry for myself for letting him go…
"So I guess we are still friends even if I love Mr. Eriol?" Tomoyo nodded, smiling at Kim-Eun.
"Great. And I must say, you must call Mr. Eriol, Eriol or else I'll assume that you still love him." Tomoyo nodded.
Ring!
Tomoyo's phone was ringing once again and this time it is Sakura.
"Hey babe! Sakura, since when you are calling me this?... Yes… Oh, I see… No wonder Xiao Chen said he doesn't accept no's… I guess… yar… alright see you tonight… bye."
"Sakura?"
"Yar. Xiao Fung asked her out for dinner. I guess we're having double dates tonight. Wanna tag along? I mean if Eriol agrees that means he's showing everyone that you're his new girlfriend right? Why don't you call him now?" Immediately Kim-Eun reached for her phone and called Eriol.
"Mr. Eriol? Yes… Um… I'm having lunch with Tomoyo… Yes… about the dinner… Yes… Tomoyo asked if we wanna join in with her and Xiao Chen… You would?... Great!... Alright… ah yes… so…. Mr. Li as well with Felicia?... … OK…. I'll tell her… Good… Alright see you then…bye."
"So seeing your happy face I say it's OK?" Kim-Eun nodded delightfully.
"Good and hearing what you said, Mr. Li also joining?"
"Yes is that alright?"
"Why not? I'll call Sakura now. She needs to tell Xiao Fung since he's making the reservations." After calling Sakura and informing her, she told the good news to Kim-Eun.
"Wow. Can you imagine four couples going for a dinner tonight?" Kim-Eun asked.
"Nope. Never thought of that." Tomoyo said as their food has just been served.
