Chapter 85 - You will (1/2)
Bilike could not believe what they had done to his Father's apartment when he entered. He was amazed at how clean the place was. ”Wow. You guys are amazing. If this place always looked like this, I'm sure Big Bro would always come home”
He was referring to his orphaned cousin. Mr Chu had taken it up on himself to take care of him till he became an adult. He was the same person Mr Chu always tried to push Sara into marrying.
They all laughed at his exaggerated expression. ”You should rest. I'll get you something to eat” Jianjun said and went inside.

Soon, It was Friday. When she got to the Li's place, Muchen had gone to work. She heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes still had shadows. She had not been able to sleep that night either. She was really going to get enough distraction today.
She wore a simple white tee-shirt and an ankle length plain trousers with white sneakers. She had to make an habit of dressing well.
”Sara. You can dress the way you like. But I won't lie, you do look like a gangster. Ripped Jean doesn't really tell well of you. I don't mean to be judgemental. You look good on anything. But you can do away with your ripped Jeans right?” That sentence kept echoing in her head that she had no idea when she locked up all her ripped clothes in a box that night.
She enjoyed the fresh air as they biked down the City. She rode her bicycle slowly so Heya would catch up with her. She was glad Heya didn't protest much and agreed to go with her. Heya was improving on her mental and physical health. She had been able to burn out a lot of calories and fats these past few days which had also surprised her. Sara took her to most of her favourite spots. Which greatly delighted Heya. Even the older people Sara introduced her to were all nice to her. Heya felt blessed to have met Sara. One, who was patient with her and understood the struggle instead of being judgemental.
They finally stopped at a park. As Sara helped Heya massage her feet.
”Li Heya?” A young man in his early twenties who was with a little boy, about age 9, called her.
”Who... who are you?” Not much people knew Heya. So she assumed he had been from her school. But she wasn't sure he was her classmate.
”You're correct. I was a class ahead of you. We belonged to the same music club. I'm Jin Cearo.” He smiled. ”And this is my nephew...”
When Sara heard his name, she smiled sadly. Jin was her mother's family name. Sara put that thought behind her and analysed him. He was tall and good looking, With a nice body frame. He had black hair and wide brown eyes. When she checked out his outfit she concluded he was from a rich home.
”She's my friend. Sara” She heard Heya say. Heya felt it would be embarrassing to tell him Sara was her Fitness coach.
They all strolled. As Sara wheeled her bike while Cearo wheeled Heya's with his nephew sitting on it. Sara could tell that Heya was not comfortable with this attention. When he asked if she was in college, he noticed she wasn't saying anything and changed the topic to their high school. Another topic Heya hated discussing.
”Do I make you feel uncomfortable Heya?” He stopped wheeling and asked.
