Chapter 156 - Wavering Confidence. (1/2)

The next day, when Deming woke up the other side of the bed was all cold, making him realise that the person sleeping there earlier has long left the place. But the clock was showing the morning of 5 a.m. The sun hasn't risen yet.

He firmly got out of the bed, he went to check the bathroom but it was all empty.

He went to the living hall but it was empty too, then suddenly he heard some clinking sound coming out from down the kitchen slabs.

He walked to the kitchen only to find her sitting on the floor with her knees half folded touching her chest.

There was something that made him laugh aloud. She has put on the spoons to cover her eyes in each hand. The thing that was looking most beautiful on her half visible face was her red plump lips.

He slowly walked to her and sat down on his one knee. Gently holding her hand, he parted it away from face, ”What are you doing early in the morning?”

”My eyes are all swollen from last night, so just trying to relax my swollen eyes muscles. It's all your fault”, she pouted and glared at him.

”How so? I haven't done anything and last night you said that you are willing to give me one last chance to let me prove my sincerity. Then suddenly, what have I done?”, he asked still holding her hands.

”I haven't said that I will get impressed by your sincerity. Neither have I told you that you can pursue me because your efforts will all go to waste. Once the glass is broken it can't be made perfect like before and so is heart”, she paused and looked at him.

”But again I am no one to stop you too. You can take your decisions yourself, I won't determine it for you. If you want you can try your best but I know my heart best it would never again give in to your tricks. Sometimes you can't whole life for someone, similarly my heart has long moved on from you”, she continued.

”Now your words asking forgiveness from me can only bring tears to my eyes. It can't move my heart. And what about your promise to Jie and you even promised me that you won't break your promise again, like you once did with me?”, she asked.

Her voice didn't showed any hint of agitation or irritation. She was very calmly making him realise him the thoughts of her mind. This gave him a little ease in his heart.

”I never broken the promise I have made to you. As I said you before that I will get engaged to Jie only if you have really moved on in your life, so I did arrange for the engagement event for her but that day. That day you did show me your true feelings for me. You proved me right that you haven't moved on. You still cared for me that's why you took that deadly bullet to save me even at the cost of your own life”, he said with his eyes slightly teary but no tears were allowed to shed down.

Maybe because he didn't wanted to show his tears to her but he didn't hide his weak side from her.

”And after that, after knowing that your heart still have me, what did you expect me to do. When I loved you and even you feel the same for me then how can I get engaged to someone else. And prior to all this, I have already said that as for the position ofmy girlfriend or for my wife. It should be filled only by you. No one else. This is the promise that I made to myself and to you too. How can I break this”, he said cupping her face in his palms.
