Chapter 395 - 391 Not Over Yet

((( DERICK POV's )))

"Welcome Manager Mackenzie!" a warm welcome greeted me on my first day in as the restaurant's manager.

While at work, I asked the Landlady and Jasmin to look after Aby.

After a long day at work, I noticed a newspaper lying on the table.

I was about to throw it but…

The article was unbelievable!

Shit! Jasmin should never read it.

"Guys, I'm going ahead. I need to somewhere right away. Tommy, take charge in locking everything," I said.

"Yes Sir. Be careful."

I hurried home.

Aby opened the door for me.

"Where's your Auntie Jasmin?"

"Dad...she's crying in the room."

I climbed the stairs. She must've had read what I feared she would.

I knocked softly. "Jasmin its me."

There was no response. But the door soon opened.

Her cheeks were wet. "...what is it?"

"Jasmin..." In a blink, she started crying again.

That brave woman I used to know had removed her mask and showed me how much she was hurting inside.

"If you don't mind, the only thing I can give you is a friendly hug," I said.

Jasmin indeed hugged me. I knew how it hurt. But seeing her hurt was hurting me more. I'm f.u.c.k.i.n.g pissed with Rhio. I wanted to make him feel how bitter Jasmin felt.

When she got her senses back, I let her be alone. I went back to the kitchen to cook our dinner.

"Dad, why is Auntie Jasmin crying?" Aby said.

"Shhh. Go to clean yourself and change clothes, okay?"

"Okay."

When the food was ready, I called Jasmin. She went down with Aby. The dinner was quiet.

"I'm sorry if…" Jasmin broke the silence.

"It's ok."

Aby went to bed early.

I'm also busy with the inventory of our earnings today.

At ten o'clock, I went down to get a drink when...

"You're still awake, Jasmin?" She was sitting in the living room.

"...I can't sleep."

"I know. I'll just get you some coffee."

When I came back with two cups of coffee, I saw her looking at their photograph.

"Kevin was only a week old when this photo was taken," she said. "It's so sad that we'd only be complete in a photo."

Tears started falling on her cheeks.

"Actually, I didn't expect Rhio to make that decision," I said.

"Ivy and Rhio...they suit each other, right?"

"Jasmin..."

"When we met...she was overprotective of Rhio and Kevin..."

"You know you can still do something. Show yourself to Rhio and talk to him in person."

"Then I'll be the family wrecker? No Derick... Kevin has even considered Ivy as his mother. Earlier, it was my son's first public appearance on TV. Do you know what he called Ivy? Mama. It hurts."

Her tears continued to flow.

"...and it felt like Rhio completely shut his door for me when I heard that he's marrying Ivy a few days later."

"Ivy said that, not Rhio. Whatever the situation is, Kevin's still your son. Everything's not over yet…not until you talk to Rhio. You should do it before that day comes."
