Chapter 99 - Passed Air would never return back to you. (1/2)

Both Lifen and Chang knew that Deming had misunderstood the whole conversation.

Chang was about to clarify the doubts but Lifen shook his head to him. This small silent conversation between them got noticed by Deming but before he could react to this Lifen softly grabbed Chang's hand and said, ”Let's go in, everyone might been waiting for us”. She was pretending as if Deming was someone she didn't know and this ignorance made Deming feel all lost.

Chang gave a simple nod and turned to move in with her. ”Lifen, let's talk for a minute”, harsh voice of Deming reached her ears. Her cold behavior was slowly becoming so unbearable for him. He was feeling somewhat suffocated with the distant look in her eyes.

She didn't stopped her steps and kept walking, ”I don't think there is anything on which we have to talk Mr.Wang . And you shouldn't be here at this moment. Someone is waiting for you, so you should go waste your time on me”.

Deming didn't move , his mind was forcing him to go and grab her and stop her but his heart stopped him. Suffocation rose to the max limit. It was like someone has stabbed a shard dagger right in the middle of his chest and was slowly and slowly twisting it. His body stayed rooted and his eyes were looking at the figure disappearing in a distance.

”You can breathe now”, Chang made a comment. And then Lifen gave out her holded breath.

”Why did you stop me, Lifen? I should've cleared his misconceptions”, he paused suddenly and then took a brief review of the things that happened just a few minutes. Soon his eyes gave out a shine of surprise, then disbelief, ”Wait minute Lifen. Don't say that what I am thinking is the truth. Is he the one?”

”Chang, don't think so much about it. You go to table first, I have go to the washroom first”, she said and walked towards the ladies washroom.

Lifen stood in front of the mirror, putting her hands down on the counter. She was just staring at her image. 'Enough Lifen, you can't always let you heart get swayed away with your false stupid hopes. You are still making your heart wait for him. It can't go like this. And God, why are you playing such tricks with me. Am I that worst in your good book list that you are making me lose everything I love. I never complained about anything, always tried hard to be happy. Never had any expectations, then why God...Why am I suffering like this?” tear drops started falling down her cheeks.

She bend down and splashed water on her face to wipe off all the painful tears. Tears didn't stopped, several more splashes were done but still....She looked up, her face was drenched in water and her eyes had turned red with her tears.

'It's okay, Lifen. Life has to move on. And why are you unhappy. Love is all about sacrifice. Some love stories are only there to remain incomplete. And yours was...one sided love, its famous for heartache. You were so stupid. You believed the promise which was given by a little boy who didn't even know the meaning of the word LOVE at that time. We were mere children at that time. How does that count?”, she gave out a self mocking smile while looking at the mirror.

She dried her face with tissue and took a last look of her face. Her were only red, it will take some time to get sullen but she doesn't bother about that because she already decided to return home now.

When she left the washroom, while walking through the corridor she saw Deming waiting in the midway. She gave a side look to him and kept on walking.
