Chapter 10 Future Husband! (2/2)
”I love you too...” she replied and the line went dead.
Adam put back his smartphone on the bedside table. He will close his eyes for a while and dream of Jessy. Later, he will attend to her garden of roses and water them on her behalf.
He missed her already...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jess love the way the wind caress her hair and her face. She loves traveling like this, free as a bird. She feels good. Every breathtaking scenery that passes by added to the sense of adventure that excites her even more.
Wish you were here with me-Adam, she murmured to herself.
Then she starts day dreaming about him...
”What's going on between you and Adam?” Nana Aida asked Jess all of a sudden.
”N-Nana-?”
”I repeat, what is going on between you and Adam?” she asked her again without taking her eyes off the road.
”We fall in love with each other, Nana.”
The words come out from her mouth flawlessly.
Jess decided to tell Nanny Aida the truth about her current relationship status with Adam. Anyways, she will find it sooner or later, so what's the point of hiding something so beautiful?
Nanny Aida's face registers worries right away upon hearing Jess confession.
”Jess, I don't think it's a good idea to enter into a relationship with Adam.” Deep concerns and worries starts appearing on the older woman's face.
Jess stared at her with apprehension in her eyes. ”Nana...why?”
Nanny Aida fall into silence for a few seconds. She is debating within herself if she will tell her the truth.
”Nana, what's wrong? Why I can't enter into a relationship with Adam? What is the reason?” she asked again.
Nana Aida clears her throat first and then she started talking. ”B-because you are destined to marry Prince Zain, Adam's older brother. That is what the King and Queen of vampires told me a long time ago. They already decided your fate. On the day you will turn twenty years old, Prince Zain will take you away from here. He will become your husband in the near future.”
Jess' eyes widened in a total surprise!
Then she starts laughing with the absurdity of it all.
She's now starting to hate Adams parents. ”How dare they decide everything for me as if am their puppet!?” she hissed.
Nanny Aida sighed deeply...
”Did-Adam...hide this from you? He did not tell you about this issue?”
Jess shook her head. ”No. He seldom talks about her family to me. But it doesn't matter Nana. I won't marry his older brother. I won't let anybody control my life. If there is one person am going to marry in this lifetime, it should be Adam.” Her face brightened up upon mentioning his name.
Nana Aida caught that cute little 'sweet smile' on Jess' face before it faded away. Then her mind recalled the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet. She felt sad all over again. It seemed Adam and Jess love story will suffer the same sad ending...However, she can't bring herself to separate the young lovers at this point. It's too cruel to even think about it.
”Nana, I got to tell you something...Adam will die on the same day I will turn twenty years old. I just want to make his remaining years on earth a happy and memorable one. As much as possible I want him to feel love and be loved in return. Hope you understand me,” she pleaded.
”I understand you completely, Jess.” Nana Aida replied with compassion in her voice. She just wish that when that unfortunate day finally comes, she can do something to help the young lovers.
”Thank you, Nana,” her voice speaks volumes.
Jess look at the distant scenery with a blank stare, this time they are no longer displaying any bright colors for her eyes.
Why is it that her beautiful world suddenly turned into gray? She wanted to cry, but she stops her tears from falling because she does not want Nanny Aida to worry and distract her from her driving.
To hell with you Prince Zain! She screamed it louder in her mind. Too bad she can only hear herself.
