29 Chapter 28: His Story

Rojen's POV

Selene grabbed my hand and without any words, she pulled me away from the room.

"Didn't I told you not to get close to her?!" She said half shouted.

"But she's my friend. I wanted to enjoy this day with her." I said.

"So what can you do? I'm here. I held your neck with my arms. Once that I found you betrayed me then maybe you'll end up homeless." She threatened.

I did nothing but just nod and followed everything that she wanted me to do. I followed here where she goes and I have no time for Fiona. I thought that if I'll bring her here then we can spare a time for each other.

We gone to the seashore and watch how the sun reflects on the water and shows crystalic effect. It looked so fascinating and appeling in the eye.

"Come, Rojen. Let's go buy some snacks." Selene said and smiled. I just nodded and followed her again.

When we got there, she ordered lots of foods. I just let her, it's her money at all. What I am thinking is how am I going to make a reason to get rid of this woman beside me.

An idea popped up in my mind when we already reached our table.

"I'll just go to the toilet." I reasoned out.

"I'll come." she insisted.

"No need. I am the who touches it by the way." I said and walked away. I heard that she said something but it's not clear to me which is a good thing.

Atleast I can have atleast a small amount of time to check Fiona, if what she's doing right now and if she's okay. I wanted to apologize in terms of what Selene did. But all my plan got ruined when I saw Fiona hanging out with Argo.

She looked so happy and she enjoyed every things the both of them were doing. I saw the smile on her face and it's so genuine, and her eyes are telling me that she felt joy inside her.

"Well atleast I can see her happy. I'm more than satisfied to that. Seeing her happy makes me happy too. That's all I wanted." I whispered.

I am indeed happy but there are parts of me felt like I am being empty. Like the happiness I have inside is not enough for me to be happy genuinely. I can sense sadness inside me.

I walked away and decided to go back to where Selene was. That's the only thing I can do now.

Fiona's POV

When I was left alone, I just took a seat at the couch and just roamed my eyes everywhere. The thought of having fun wuth Rojen has been vanished already and all the plans that I wanted to do with was been gone now. and that's all because of Selene.

I was at the edge while thinking, Argo suddenly called me and asked to go out for a walk. I agreed because I felt like I might get rotten if I'll just stay here the whole day. All of them got to enjoy their own business.

"You better not be rotten there. Instead, go with me so that you can enjoy this celebration." He said as I reached him. I just nodded and smiled at him.

We walked and looked at the nice view of the ocean. Argo took a sit on the sand and I did the same thing.

"You're friends with Rojen, right?" he suddenly asked.

"Yeah."

"How did you met him?" He asked that made me thinking. I can't just let him know everything.

"I just know him. I forgot how I met him." I lied.

"Hmm." he replied and nodded. "How about your parents? Where are they?" He asked again.

"My grandmother and grandfather died already as well as my father. That only means I am the only one left." I replied, there's a hint of sadness in my tone.

"I'm sorry for asking. I shouldn't asked you that." he said.

"No. It's totally fine. I accepted it already." I said and smiled at him.

"Great. Acceptance is one of the key to be happy." he replied.

I didn't replied and just got silent. But that doesn't mean I don't care on what ge was saying.

"By the way, I haven't heard something about your mother. Where is she?" he asked. There's a hint of curiousness on his tone.

"I have no mother. I don't know where she is. I just... don't know her." I replied.

My attention was focused on the ocean. The man beside me did the same thing and just got silent.

"That's fine. Atleast you've got to live with your grandparents and your father."

"Yeah."

"You know what? I've been living with my adapted grandparents too as my adapted parents died because of the accident." He narrated.

"You don't have your biological parents?" I asked, looking at him while he's starring at the blue sky.

"None. I didn't even met them. But atleast I am thankful that I grow up with a family there by my side."

"Yeah. Consider yourself lucky." I said.

"You too." he replied and smiled. I smiled at him back.

"You know what? The most memorable thing that happened in my life is that when I first tasted a pepper. I got curious because of it's color and it's long. So I thought that it tastes like a candy, I tasted it. At the first bite, I felt excruciating pain in my tounge that made my shout and cried out loud." He said while laughing. I got to laughed with him because of his expression. "I go home crying and my grandmother was shocked. She asked me what happened and the only thing I replied is 'Adhadhadhadhad' while pointing on my tounge. I saw that she didn't know what to do. She gave me chocolates and candies to stop me from crying and let me drink some water but I didn't stopped crying. I still remember that and until now it still makes me laugh." He continued while still laughing.

I don't know but being with this man felt so comfortable. He was easy to go with.

That made me think that even though without Rojen, I can still manage myself and be happy. Just being with Argo makes everything great already.
