Break Through

"Are you sure you can handle it?"Wang Jian said with his straight face. He looked perfectly fine but deep inside he was also conscious and concerned.

Xiu Guiren wanted to yell at them. He wanted to let them experienced every bit of his pains. But that would only make him lost and weak. So he turned his eyes away from his father and gave up.

"I'll follow everything you want. Live in one house?Fine. Be my parents?That's totally fine with me. But in exchange, I want to see how my parents love each other. If not, I'm going to tell to my grandparents that it's hard to live with my parents who are not sincere to each other."Xiu Guiren didn't burst out his feelings because he didn't want also to make his parents a part of his life more than ever. He observed that her parents had ill-relationship so he planned to make her parents surrender in their own will. He knew sooner or later, they would give up. As soon as he said it, he walked away from them.

While Wang Jian smiled as he stared at Xiu Guiren's back.

"How could you smile now?"Xiu Daiyu dumbly stared at Wang Jian.

"Just that, he know how to protect himself from getting hurt again by us."Wang Jian was smiling yet pain was visible in his pair of eyes. Xiu Daiyu looked also at Xiu Guiren, was it really a good decision that they came back?Or it would only make her son more miserable?She didn't know if she could break through from the firm walls of his son.

Xiu Daiyu went in to the Sweet Tooth Cafe and roamed her eyes around the place.

"Xiu Daiyu!"She looked at the person and she smiled instantly as soon as she recognized that it was Zhang Chunhua, her best friend. In a split of seconds, she was hug by Zhang Chunhua.

"I still can't believe that you are finally here."Xiu Daiyu looked only at Zhang Chunhua but the happiness was visible in her eyes. They sat on the last table beside the transparent glass wall.

"You know, even we often called each other, it's still far different from seeing you in person."Xiu Daiyu smiled sweetly to her bestfriend.

"Aiyoo, I guess you really missed me that much."Zhang Chunhua nodded multiple times as tears escaped from her eyes. Xiu Daiyu looked worriedly at Zhang Chunhua, she quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe off the tears of her best friend.

"Why are you crying?"Xiu Daiyu said as she handed tissues constantly.

"I miss you!"Zhang Chunhua cried, tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.

"I'm not leaving anymore. I guess, I'll settled down here."Zhang Chunhua stopped crying at once.

"Really?Why?Did your father forgive you at last?"Zhang Chunhua was still busy wiping off tears from her puffy cheek. Xiu Daiyu nodded as she also grabbed the pack of tissues in another table and handed it to Zhang Chunhua.

"But in one condition, I need to marry Wang Jian."Xiu Daiyu observed Zhang Chunhua's reaction. And as she thought, Zhang Chunhua was totally dumbstruck. Xiu Daiyu let Zhang Chunhua internalized her words, she picked a cookie from the woven tray and munched it. She smiled, the specialty of the cafe would really make her crave more for it. She picked another cookie.

"You're not joking right?"Xiu Daiyu frowned as she dropped the cookie to the tray. Why should she joke that she would marry Wang Jian?For crying out loud, that was the least thing she wanted in this world. So she looked straightly and seriously to Zhang Chunhua.

"Really?!For real Xiu Daiyu!"

Xiu Daiyu covered her hears and glanced at the people who turned their eyes to them.

"Geez, you're getting attention from other people now."Zhang Chunhua covered her lips and bowed slightly to the people.

"Sorry."Zhang Chunhua apologized to the people she disturbed with an awkward smile plastered in her lips.

Then she stared at Xiu Daiyu. She really couldn't believe.

"Stop staring at me intently. To make it convincing, I'll let you layout our wedding invitation."Zhang Chunhua smiled but turned to a worried one.

"Will you be fine to live with him again?"Zhang Chunhua asked in a careful manner. Xiu Daiyu expected that Zhang Chunhua would ask her, definitely for her best friend knew what she have gone through from the result of living with Wang Jian back then.

"Yes, of course. I already moved on. There's no pain, heartache, or even love that I feel towards Wang Jian. What I only want now is to make up and fill the years that I was not here beside my son."Xiu Daiyu was aware that even if she would do everything, she could never correct her mistake anymore. Even if she wanted to go back and changed what happened in the past or even the moment she met Wang Jian, she knew that she had no power to change it. So over the years of being apart from Wang Jian, she learned to accept her ill-fated love for him.

All she wanted now was to ask for forgiveness from her son and to acknowledge her as his mother.

"But you know, I'm somewhat happy for you . It really came true."Xiu Daiyu's left eyebrow rose up.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember when you actually dreamt Wang Jian as your groom in your wedding. You even planned your motif, the church,the aisle especially your wedding gown. Who would really thought that it would come true. The very example of fantasy to reality."Xiu Daiyu didn't utter any single word. She remained silent.

"I'm sorry. I didn't meant to-"Xiu Daiyu smiled.

"There's nothing to apologize for it was really true. It's just that I totally forgot about it."Xiu Daiyu touched her mug and she gently brushed her fingers from the texture of it. Her lips slowly moving into a bitter smile. It only reminded her how naive and how pathetic she was that she even fantasized her wedding with Wang Jian.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian was busy listening to his secretary though his thoughts wandered about Xiu Daiyu and his son. He had no idea of what should he do to reach them out.

"Sir, the cargo of steel is finally sent to our VIP client and gladly they didn't complain about the delayed delivery."Wang Jian nodded and cued his secretary to continue with his report. But the secretary was hesitant for he observed that his Boss was not paying attention yet he still continued anyway.

"And MoonGuang company wanted to negotiate with you for the purchasing of products. According to my background research--Sir, would you like me to stop?"Wang Jian looked at his secretary.

"No. Continue."the secretary adjusted his eyeglass.

"But in my observation, you're not listening to me Sir."Wang Jian cleared his throat as he fixed his posture. But his secretary is not convinced.

"What now?I'm listening so proceed."

"Is there anything that makes you bothered lately Sir. I observed that you were dazing during this past few days."Wang Jian stared at his secretary.

"Do you want to be my best man in my wedding?"Wang Jian suddenly asked to his secretary.

"Wedding?"The secretary was totally shock. He didn't know that his boss already found his another half. But he gave a quick- glanced to the room at the left side- he was eventually confuse. Is there another woman?

"I'll give you extra pay if you would do an extra work for me."The secretary's appearance lighted up as soon as he heard the words extra pay.

"Deal Sir. So can I continue Sir?"Wang Jian nodded and his secretary resumed. He tried himself to focus of what his secretary talking in front of him. But then, he took out his phone and messaged Xiu Daiyu. He waited for her reply but he became impatient so he tried calling her.

While the secretary finally gave up. He turned off his tablet.

"Maybe tomorrow. I hope."the secretary turned his back and let out a long sigh.

"Free your weekend. I need you for the preparation of my wedding."Wang Jian said to his secretary as he was still busy calling Xiu Daiyu.

The secretary just let out a long sigh again and he continued to step out from the office of his Boss. Before he became one of the employees of his great boss, he was only a fan of Wang Jian-the youngest entrepreneur who turned as the biggest dealer of metals in various Asian countries. Three years ago during the last semester of his college life, he met Wang Jian for the first time as a speaker to one of their seminars. And he was impress when he heard that his Boss started only from a scrap of rusting metals. Since that day, he did everything to enter the company of his Boss. And he made the right choice though sometimes he got tired whenever his boss was in his deep thoughts. He was not complaining because since he entered the company, he saw his Boss not only a wise entrepreneur but also a good person. Sometimes he wanted to know about the family of his Boss for he thought his Boss was away from his family. Whenever he watched his Boss looking at the window, he could see the loneliness and longing in his bare eyes.
