Chapter 13: Meeting Accidentally

I suddenly realized something. Why do I need to hide from him when I can just face what I have done. I want to learn from myself that everything that we have done whether it is good or not, we should face it. When the time comes, all of the things that we have committed will go out. My point is we should not avoid something that we did.

”Sylvie, be promptly. I have many plans with you” that was Rean. My eyes widened when Zayden turned his head, finding. His eyes exactly went at

me when he tilted his head. I smiled awkwardly.

He smiles back and continues to find something. He took out his phone and he typed something. I almost jumped when my phone beeps. It’s a message from Zayden. ’It’s nice to see you again’ is what is said in the text. I’m hesitating whether I should reply or not. It ended up I type ’It’s nice to see you again too’ I giggled. It looks like w

e haven’t seen each other for a year.

I tried the outfit that my cousin picked. I went out of the dressing room and called Rean. “Wow” her mouth shaped O. “You look elegant. Let’s buy it now” we went to the cashier area to pay. She tells me that she is the one who is paying for that. She requested me to wear this outfit now. I granted her request.

I thought I wouldn't see Zayden because we are now at the coffee shop, a place where we meet each other, but I was wrong. He is also here! I was panicking but I am trying my best to calm myself. If this is the sign that we should talk about everything, I will talk to him.

Rean chose the chair that’s beside him! I was hesitating whether I would sit or not but still, I ended up sitting there. “Sylvie” Zayden whispered. I don’t know if I should reply to him or not. He’s now beside me!

“Y- yes?” I asked, stuttering.

Rean looked at us. She was sitting in mfront of me. “Do you know each other?” she asked, curious. “Probably, he’s the one Aunt referring too” my eyes widened. I can’t believe what is happening right now!

“Rean!” I reprimand. When I turned my gaze a bit in Zayden. He was smirking and giggling at the same time. “It’s not him,” I lied. I know she would

tease me if she knew that it is him. When I glanced at Zayden, he was looking at me sharply.

Minutes passed by, Rean and I forgot to order our food. She volunteers to order that’s why I was left here with Zayden. ”I’m sorry” I apologize for what I’ve said and I have done. I tilted my head down.

”Why are you apologizing?” he asked in an innocent way. ”It’s nothing, forgot what happened” his lips curved into a smile. He held my chin and tilted it to see my face ”I should be the one who is saying sorry to you, Sylvie. To my prevarication, to my words that hurt you so bad. I am sorry”

Our lips curved into a smile while we were looking at each other. ”Sylvie, here’s your food” Rean put down the pasta in front of me. She sat down in her original seat which was in front of me.

”By the way Rean, he is Zayden. Zayden she’s Rean” I inaugurated them to each other. They both curved their lips into a small smile.

The two of them turned their gaze at me then they both smiled widely.

Now, I realized that forgiveness is the best way to be happy. If others forgive you for what you have done, you should do the same too. Not everyone is perfect. All of us have flaws.

“Let’s ramble together!” I said after we ate. I wanted to be with these two people for now.

Somehow, I realized that we should treasure everything that is happening in our life. The reason is we didn’t know how long we would be happy. No one is perfect, no one doesn’t have flaws, anyone doesn't have weaknesses.

”Let’s go there!” that was also me. I don’t want this day to pass by without enjoying it.

Hours flew by, It’s already evening. The three of us are still together. We are now here at the exit door of the mall. “It’s raining,” Zayden said. He turned his gaze at us “I will drive you home, if it is okay with you two?”

We nodded. We don’t have any vehicles to ride. It will be hard for us if we don't accept his offer to drive us home. That is why we agreed to him.

We are now here in his car. Both Rean and me were in the backseat of his car. Sometimes, I noticed that Zayden was snatching a glance at us. When he sees me also catching a glance at him, he will curve his lips into a smile. Rean was silent, she was looking at the window while the earpods were in her ears.

While we’re on the way home, my dad suddenly goes into my mind. I wonder how he is right now. Like what I have said, I want to give forgiveness. I suddenly want to meet him. Because even though he made a mistake to us. The truth will never change that he is my father.

I also want to meet my siblings. I’m also mad at them but I should not be. They didn’t do anything wrong to me. I should accept that I have siblings.

Their mother, I’m not on good terms with her because she’s the reason why my family broke into pieces. The reason why I became miserable. Still, I should accept her as my second mom. It hurts so much that my dad chose her over my mom. He chose them over us. But this is the only way to be happy.

I already made my decision. I want to keep in touch with them. I want to be close with them. I also want the best for them. I know it will not be hard for me but still, I will try. I want to try.
