Chapter 282 - OLD FRIENDS 04 (1/2)
HALF AN HOUR LATER
She was in the living room of Sian house. She is drying her hair with Sina towels. Looking at the house she smiles a bit. It is a modest but beautiful home.
It fit Sina.
'Tea?' Sina asked as she comes out from the kitchen bringing a tray of biscuits and small cakes. She slowly put down the tray on the table in the living room.
Sofia nodded
'That would be great. I had quite a journey to come here' she said
'And you can tell me all about it' Sina said as she went back to the kitchen to brew some tea. Sofia as she finished drying her hair with the towel put it in the hanging rack and started to look around the house.
She saw the stairs that lead to the second floor and she saw the pictures in the walls, the tree on the back of the house, and the swing on the porch.
She smiles a little.
'It is a nice house' she said. Sina come out from the kitchen bringing a pot of tea and a few china teacup and nodded
'It is isn't it?' She smiles proudly. Then she added
'I always wanted a house like this. A small but homely home. A home for a family to come back home to. Though I need to work on the family part. My family keeps on leaving' as she chuckles.
'Sorry' Sofia said apologetically
'Ah, don't sweat it' And Sina looks at Sofia and said
'So other than trying to get Azief back, what brings you back home?' Sina said with a teasing smile on her face.
Sofia nearly spurted out the tea and biscuits in her mouth.
'What do you mean? I'm not coming back for him. I wanted to see you and catch up'
'Oh, really?' Sina look at Sofia like she didn't believe even a word she said.
'I don't think I believe you, Soph. You had the face since you enter my house'
'What face?'
'My getting-back Azief face'
'What kind of face is that, huh?'
'The only face you got' and Sina chuckles. Sofia blushes.
'She is with Katarina now' Sina just shook her head.
'You know you are my friend. I am always rooting for both of you. From the beginning. If not for you, I might even chase him. He is kind of hot' And Sina chuckles.
Sofia looks at her and rolls back her eyes.
She knows Sina is just joking. After all Azief was not Sina type.
They might have not talk much these couple of years but Sofia knows what Sina wanted. She wanted a family.
But Sofia also heard that Azief met with Katarina after he went out of her seclusion. She knows this news from one of her contacts that was close to the Broker.
She hates one thing about Azief. That he couldn't lie. What she said to him before she left was not a lie. And she is hurt
But just like before, she couldn't imagine a life where she isn't in his life and where he isn't in her life.
And the fact that he also loves Katarina breaks her heart. Because, there must be someone in his heart he loves more.
And she just couldn't accept it if the person he loves more is not her. Because no matter how he said it is equal, she know it is not.
Love is not equal. If anything it is selfish. And anyone who thinks it is no is lying to oneself.
So she left. And yet the moment she left she felt like something in her life went dark.
It was like she lost something very important and she just couldn't the emptiness she felt in her heart no matter how he tries to fill it back.
It wasn't until she talks with Will, that she knows she needs to talk to him. She wanted to hold those hands again and dream with him again.
And she knows that is fucked. Because she had hopelessly falling in love him, in an abyss so deep she knows she would never get out of it.
Now, forever and always.
She looks at Sina and then said
'Katarina is the most beautiful woman in the world' She takes a deep breath and looking down at the food on the trays she said
'I can't compete with that'
Sina laughs.
'Oh, please. It has always been Azief and Sofia. It has always been you and him. And I know you believe that too.'
Sofia eyes brightened. But she didn't know what to say.
'I left. And he didn't chase me'
Sina smiles and shakes her head
'Azief has always been little slow and stupid'
'After he got out of his seclusion he did not seek me'
Sina sighed
'Like I said, he's an idiot.'
