Chapter 74 - The Balcony (1/2)
Life will put you in many hard situations. Unless you fight back, you will be devoured by the darkness and the suffering of your painful life. It's a long, dark tunnel when you start to walk at first. But as you walk and walk further evading the sable cloak, you will reach the light of faith at the end of the tunnel.
I am such a hopeless husband. First I would fight with my wife, then I would go back to her for forgiveness, begging at her knee. As soon my office was over, I drove back to Stella's parents house. Even though I wanted to go back to meet Stella as early as possible, my work kept me occupied until it was 9.30 pm. When I reached her home it was pretty late. Besides her house is far from my office. It probably took me hours to reach.
I called Neil to confirm if he's at home. It's kinda awkward for me to go to their house at this hour. Parking near the gate, I stayed inside my car.
” Neil, where you at? ”
” I'm just returning home. Have you reached there already?”
” Yeah I'm inside my car.”
” Yo!” I literally jumped up from my seat as I got startled by his sudden appearance.
” What the hell Neil! You almost gave me a heart attack!”
” Sorry bro.”
” How's your sis now? Is she still mad?” With guilt and regret I asked him.
” Hmm. My parents aren't aware of it. She told them that she came to see how they are doing.”
” I see. It's better to keep this matter to our self. By the way, your sister left my house wearing her office clothes. What did she told her parents?”
” Nah. She changed her clothes before going home. I had to took her to buy clothes.”
” That's good. I was also wondering what happened. Anyway, let's go inside.”
” Uh-Uh-Ah.....Not like that.”
” What do you mean?”
” You need to enter like a hero of a romantic movie. ”
” Is that a joke?”
” I'm serious. Come, follow me.” Parking the car inside their house, I got out from it and followed Neil. He escorted me to the backside of the house where it was filled with trees and bushes.
” Here. That room, up there is my sis's room. You can climb up the wall and enter in her room via balcony.” My eyes went up and I realised how childish it was to climb up.
” What!” Thats the first thing came from my mouth. ” How can I climb .... oh wait there's some places to grip on it.”
” Yup! We made them.”
” Huh? We? You mean Stella and you?”
” Yup. Only my sis has balcony in our house. That's why, we made this little rack. When ever we sneaked out from our house, we used this to avoid our parents.”
” You guys were rebels from such young age.”
” Yeah. Anyway climb up and meet your princess. I'm gonna go get some sleep.” He left me there with my misery and amusement.
