I woke up around 9 am. I were too late and I think that's okay because there's no school. I’m done studying and I need to accept real life. I straightened up and went down to the kitchen. As usual, my parents were gone.
I just ate as usual and went to the gym to exercise. I checked my weight and I noticed I had lost weight. Maybe it's because of the fatigue and stress the day before. I need to be strong. I'm going to do something else, and I'm not sure what I'm going to enter.
After I exercised I immediately received a call from Charrie.
"Hey!" She greeted. I could tell she was happy.
"Oh why?" I reciprocated that as well.
"Are you free tonight?" she asked.
"Yes, didn't I say."
"Okay, great!" She said happily.
I hung up the phone and quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower. But, I haven't opened the door yet. Someone called again.
[Come at building 154 South Rd Hotel at 9pm]
That is exactly what is written in the message. I frowned and wondered.
Who is this? Why is he sending me to the hotel. I think this is a wrong send.
[Wrong send, Probably.]
I want to laugh and be bored at the same time. Maybe this person didn't even double check while typing the number.
I would have left my cellphone when it texted again.
[No, Moriya. Right? We will wait for you.]
I was surprised to see my name. How this person know my name. Apart from my parents, only Charrie and some friends know about it.
Until I realized that it might be Daile, but why would he even ask me if I was really Moriya. I think someone gave my number to that person. When they trip, they should be ready. I will be going to that place at fvcking 9PM to know who it is.
I took a bath and spend my day we'll refresh myself, because I know eventually I'll get tired and masstress. Similar, now I am no longer a student I have to face the real life.
I know someone is hindering and limiting me but I will just let it go. That's only temporary, Until I can take a step. They just don’t really fill me up.
I came out of our house wearing a black dress and gold stiletto. I also wear a red lipstick to make my face a little bolder. Because even though I'm disgusted, I'm still nervous. I don’t know who I will catch and what will happen next.
I took a deep breath and quietly got into the car. I only gave the driver a small smile. Until now, the lesson is not over. I can't wait to drive on my own.
After a few minutes, I arrived at a hotel. There were very few people there, and it looked like there were meetings in the hall venue.
I was just a few steps away when a hotel staff approached me.
"Ms. Moriya, everyone is waiting for you." He said that I was surprised and because of that I lost my nervousness.
I followed him and let him take me to a VIP room. It opened on purpose for us and there the large table was exposed.
Sitting there I saw my parents sitting, along with people familiar to me. First was Reigan, and Daile's family was with him as well. Nervous was the first thing I felt but it also disappeared eventually.
I gave them a small smile and slowly approached my parents ’seat. Surprising because they were all quiet and just watching me. I sat down next to Mommy and she immediately whispered to me.
"Thank God, you come. We will have a meeting and we want you here since you will be going to work in a company in the coming days."
I smiled at her and nodded. This is set up.
I looked up at those in here and Daile and I immediately caught sight of each other. I didn’t give him any expression and just focused my attention on Dad when he spoke.
"I'm sorry if my daughter is late." He said in a very serious tone.
I want to explode now in anger. I wouldn't be late for this if you told me about it right away. I will not receive any mysterious text. Until now I do not know who. Later, I'll ask who he or she is or I'll just ask Mom. Perhaps, she ordered our employees to text me.
"It's okay sir," Daile replied.
I'm tired because that. I don't know, but I'm changing the way I look at him.
"It seems like, there's no one informed her? That why she is late."
I lost my temper when I heard that voice. It's him, Reigan. Aside from how handsome he is now, he even got my point. I want to say thank you to him but I can't.
Dad fell silent and Mommy quickly turned to me.
"Didn't your Daddy tell you, about this?" She whispered.
I immediately shook my head and she quickly looked at Dad. I don’t really know what’s going on right now. Do they agree with me? I just bent down and started talking to them. At first I wasn't interested in their businesses, but I couldn't do anything. I just have to go with the flow Until I can escape. After the meeting there was also a dinner. While I was eating and ignoring others, I received a text message from Charrie.
"After this dinner, I'm going." I reply.
I ate very little and planned to say goodbye to Mommy.
"Yes?" She asked as we looked at each other.
"I have to go, Charrie and I are going somewhere."
I knew she wanted to ask where but she didn’t. I'm an adult and already finished at school. No need for any reason to stop me.
"Okay, take care." She said.
I kissed her on her cheek. I didn't even bother to say goodbye to Dad because he was busy talking. I stood up and the others immediately turned their attention to me. Reigan was already there, I glanced at him and smiled slightly before leaving.
I walked quickly, got out of the hotel and booked a taxi. I sent my driver home earlier. As I stood outside, I felt someone approaching from behind. He walked slowly and stopped next to me.
"Where are you going?" I only knew it was Reigan's voice.
"I'm going to meet a friend." My answer.
"Where? And where's your car?" He asked one question after another. I want to wonder why he followed me here.
"I'm still learning to drive, and I already book a taxi for now." I averted my eyes and wished he would leave me here. But, Universe's answer to this is different.
"Tell me, where are you going. So that I can keep up with you, I'm going home too." He offered.
I want thrill and I want to refuse. I don't know why he act in that way.
"No, I already booked a taxi."
"Cancel it." He said directly.
My mouth fell open because that.
"Cancel it and name the place where you are going." He said and quickly left me where we were standing.
