Reaching the stairs, An kai meant Christina just after a short turn. " I hope you keep your mouth shut. this whole issue is between Roline and I." An kai said to Christina at first sight.
" don't you think you went overboard this time?
"no, am just keeping my promise"
" but Roline is like a sister to me, if she ever finds out about your deed then, she will hate me for life because I know everything."
" don't worry yourself, nothing is gonna happen to her. she will live the life she chose for a life time." soon after those words left An Kai's lips, high heels sounded from the far corner of the corridor. Christina turned around and left without waiting for more words from An kai.
seeing An kai making small paces towards her direction, Roline didn't change, she simply walked until she reached where An kai was. she wanted to pretend that she didn't see him but An kai's voice rang through the corridor. " I came to tell uncle about our divorce, are you ready?"
" I will tell him myself and make sure to stay away, unless you want to get alimony from us."
"hehehe! you sure know how to joke. I will leave since you think I need your wealth. be good and responsible. bye. once done, An kai walked and disappeared from Roline's sight. she could still hear the mocking laugh An kai made. the An kai now was too different from the broken An kai she meant in the car days ago, or the An kai that always looked at her with much tenderness and love. he didn't even look at her. he just talked and walked away as if he was talking to a total stranger.
"I will leave now, I left home early so mother must be worried." An kai was talking to Han Rein, he didn't notice the way Roline was looking at him but before An kai could leave, a maid came in talking about a man waiting outside.
" let him come in." Roline said before anyone could ask anything. the man soon came following the maid. he bowed his head as he greeted Han Rein and then a " hi" to An kai.
dad, this is Wang, one of my friends. Roline introduced him. we have to go now, I will be back soon.
" which soon are you talking about? it's ready nearing 8:30, are you planning to go out this late with this guy?" An kai wasn't in the mood to go home anymore. he was thinking about this Wang but later, he finally recognised him as the man in the painting....yes, he must be the one. An kai confirmed as he lifted his head to look at him. the man soon felt An kai's gazeand he turned to look at Roline. she was still waiting for her father's answer.
"okay but be careful, leave the address to the driver so that he comes to pick you up."
"alright. Roline nodded and left with Wang and that's when An kai remembered that he was done saying goodbye so he turned around, leaving " I will be off too" to Han Rein. he was few steps behind from the dou.
" your brother is a rare beauty. it's hard to find out that he has something between his legs if you only look at his face and the way he was looking at me, is he that cold?"
"he is An kai, my ex husband. Roline said, she was drawing a line between her and An kai. they chit chatted until they boarded the car and left, leaving An kai all worked up.
" emotions and feelings aren't important. go home and rest. the ones that love you are waiting. An kai said to himself, he wanted to put feelings and emotions out of his life. those words and thought have been working well but now, he felt himself set on fire. the Han driver is the one who took him home.
" do you want me to bring your car over?" the driver asked because he saw An kai in a taxi when he came.
"I have never earned enough money to buy a car."
"that car was bought for you, everything about it is in your name.
" leave it there. I don't need it at the moment. don't forget to pick "her" up at exactly 10 pm, and call me once she's home.
"I will do, then the car started, leaving behind An kai to look at the empty and quiet neighborhood. "things had reached this far yet am still stuck in time. things that you get so easily without much effort leave you with less efforts too. I got you with out even knowing and now, you just slipped out of my hands. An kai was thinking of the past, he even remembered the day of his wedding. he knew nothing about it so the painhe felt now was digging deeper, losing what he had already had made him wonder how he was going to start off alone in this world...
