Chapter 59 - Future Husband (1/2)

What happened next seemed blurry to me. I didn't really remember what had happened to the ghost that had been bothering me. Next thing I knew, I was in Mr. Sanjaya's office, drinking a cup of tea.

”Are you okay?” He asked in worried tone. ”I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that.”

When I lifted up my face, I saw 'guilty' and 'concerned' pasted on his handsome face. A glass of black coffee was in his hands and he was leaning towards me from his seat that was situated not far beside me.

”I'm fine.” I told him softly.

I watched as smile found its way to his s.e.xy lips...

Oh God, I really need to stop. Why do I see him that way?

It was not the first time I saw him, but it was my first time talking to him. He was a lecturer for Computer Engineering, so he had never taught my class. Yet, there I was, talking to him like he was my academic advisor.

”What's your name?” He asked. His smile was so warm I couldn't help but feel enchanted by it.

”Jane. Jane Harris, from Civil Engineering.” I introduced myself.

A surprised look was seen on his face. I guessed he had heard about me, right? After all, there was no one in campus, especially engineering faculty, that didn't know about Jane who got dump by Rizal Ali.

”You're Jane Harris?” I nodded at his question. ”I've been dying to meet you, actually.” The smile on his face grew brighter and wider. ”I've heard about you from your father, but I haven't had time to actually look for you even though we are in the same building. My bad, please, forgive me.”

Okay, that was a surprise! And here I thought he would recognize me for being Senior Rizal's pitiful ex.

Fortunately I didn't say that out loud.

But, wait! Did he just say he knew my father?

”I'm sorry, Sir, do you know my father?”

”Yes, of course. We have met several times before. Your father and my father are old friends. So I met him for a couple of times before. I think I also met you long time ago.” He was squinting his eyes as he tried to remember his meeting with me.

It must be around twelve to sixteen years ago, when I was around one or two years old. At most, I would be 5 years old because I had no recollection of meeting him.

His chuckle made me realized that I was deep in my thought. As I regained my senses, I looked at him again.

”Unfortunately, the smiling sunshine I met long ago is too quiet now.” He said while looking at me with his deep eyes. I could feel my cheeks reddened at his casual comment.
