Kapitel 84: Chapter 2

"Hello?" a woman on the other line answered. I froze for a moment and think. "Sorry, Lou is taking a bath right now. Call him later, I just answered befor—"

I didn't want to hear what will be next words so I end the call. I don't know what to do, all I can feel is the tension that I cannot put into words which is why I decided to go out with the twins. I made ready all the things that I needed and drove to the house of the Go brothers before calling any of them. When I arrive, no one is there which is why I went to try and check if Lunar is at home but again, he is not there. I do not know where to go, I am just driving without any direction until I reached the house I bought where everyone stayed with me before the incident.

I stopped the car, opened the gate, and went in to park inside; I still have the key with me. When I went inside the house with the twins, I saw how neat the house is. Everything still works. I went inside my room and was about to lie down when Grandeur cried, I check up on him to see what is wrong because I know he is not hungry. "Oh, you naughty one… you stink again. thankfully, we found a place to stay that I can thoroughly clean you." I said and started to prepare his clothes. "We cannot leave Miracle here so, she will come with us," I said as if they have a choice.

As I was playing with the twins while feeding them, I heard my phone ringing. It's their father. Ignore his call and continue to play with the twins then the phone call stops but a text notification comes next.

Where are you Rackie? I am outside the house right now.

I frown when I remember the woman who answered his phone earlier. I realized that I am crying when my teardrops were on Grandeur's arm. Sigh! Curse these hormones after birth. As I am trying to compose myself, both of the twins cry as if they sympathize with me so we cried until we can't cry anymore. I let myself cry like a baby once again. I fell asleep with the twins in my arms when I woke up, I slowly move each of them onto the bed and wipe their tears.

"Let's go back," I said. I kept on hearing my phone ringing. When I saw Red's name, I slow down and park somewhere on the safe side. I remember the reason why I have to let him go before. Why do I have to let go even if I want to hold on and it hits me again? I guess I have to face it again… but this time, it's the person who helped me get back to my feet before.

When I finally got home, I saw the gate is open so I went inside hastily. I saw Master walking back and forth while Wisdom, Wise, and Wit are sitting on the bench. I also saw Lunar, Red, and Art who are sitting on the stairs. "Why are you here? And why is the doorknob… wait, did you break in?"

The moment Master heard me, he lift his head and suddenly run towards me and hug me. "Where did you go? When I called Wisdom, he said that you went there but you didn't wait for them. When I called Lunar, he said his sister told him that you also went to visit their house. So, I thought maybe, Wolf took you again however, when we called him, his assistant was the one who answered and told us that he is out of the country. We went to the places where we know you usually go but you aren't there. I thought…"

I sigh. I think everyone was traumatized by what happened to me. "How can I explain to my family this doorknob you destroyed?"

"Well, it's not… I used my card trick to come in to see." He said, getting the two-baby carrier. "So, where did you go? You should have told any of us so I won't get too worried that I want to flip the whole place just to find you."

"I just went somewhere to think," I answered.

"Where?" he asks again.

"Master, I don't need to report where should I go, okay? As I said, I went somewhere far from you to think. Take care of the twins, I want to rest." I said then went inside my room.

I lock myself inside my room and shut everything out. He can enjoy his bachelor life while I am staying in the house for a whole week to take care of the twins. it seems the tears I cried earlier aren't enough. I heard a knock on the door.

"Rackie, can you open the door?" Wise said. I stood up to open the door and pulled him inside the room. I hugged him from his waist. "Hey, what's wrong?" I just shook my head and hugged him tightly. "Okay, do you want us to stay? It seems like you don't want to stay with Master alone." I nod. "Rackie, are you crying?" I didn't reply. "It's okay… it'll be okay." He said then caress my head to comfort me. "I know you won't tell me but if I ask Wisdom to come, will you tell him?" I shook my head. "I… I see… maybe you aren't ready to talk about it. I don't know what's going on and why are you crying right now but I know if you talk about it with him, you can solve the issue. You always say that, right?"

I wipe my tears as pull away. "What if an old wound would open when I talk about it?"

"Hey, where is the Abstract I knew who doesn't care whether the wound is fresh and will be cut deep?" he asked. "Doubting will only keep you from overthinking about what-ifs. You were also the one who said that to us before. If you can't face it yet then, it's fine but does not prolong the wait because it will only make you continue to hesitate. When you're ready, give it a go. So, do you want us to stay?"

"All of you?" I asked.

He laughed. "No, just the three of us, Wisdom, Wit, and I. Those other three don't need to stay, right?"

"Yes, those three are too busy right now."

"I'll tell them. You just have to rest and don't cry again, okay?" I just nod in reply then he left.

I had a nice sleep without thinking about the twins. Master does take care of them the entire night, before I sleep I even heard him tell the twins that they can't bother me so I can have enough rest. Why is he so thoughtful? Why does he want to marry me? Who is that woman?

I went to the kitchen and saw that the food is ready. Wisdom, Wise, and Wit are ready to go. "Why don't you eat first?" Master asks.

"We need to go back to the house so we can change before going to our respective destinations." Wisdom replied then he looked at me. "If you need anything, just call us." He said.

I just nod in reply. I sat down on the chair and look around. "Where are the twins?" I asked.

"They are still asleep. No need to worry, they just drink their milk." He replied. "Let's eat."

After eating breakfast, he volunteered to wash the dishes.

"Master, how much should I pay to compensate you for terminating our contract?" I ask.

"What contract?" he asked.

"The agreement we had for backing out on our marriage."

He stopped what he is doing and looked at me. "Are you serious?"

"I am."

"Are you for real? You knew that we made a promise to get married and we even go to the lawyer to make that promise official. Rackie, we have a contract! Now, you are telling me that you'll just pay for whatever you must pay so you could not get married? What's wrong with you?" Master said. I can hear the pain in his voice. I can see that he is hurt. Nevertheless, that won't make me take back what I said. He turns his back again and turns off the faucet.

"Master, listen first."

"No, Rackie. Listen first; it's too early for that topic to talk about. I am not going to listen to whatever you want to say right now. I am not ready to talk about it, maybe later? I don't know but please, not this early."

I just nod then I heard a cry from where Master stays. "I check on them," I said but before I left, I saw his eyes looking at me full of pain as if he was about to cry. I know I hurt him again however, I think this is the least I can do for him.

"Rackie, you won't bring up that topic again, right?" he suddenly asks full of worry on his face.
