Capítulo 18: Chapter 16: Near Yet So Far (3)

~ Xian's Point of View ~

There is a young demoiselle, who's smiling widely and vividly together with her parents.

I can see the happiness that she's been longing for so long... and she is... Sophie.

I've been standing here from afar. I could see her; her pain and her lonely life.

"Xian, Your Mom is looking for you right now and she told me to reminds you that she will go home late, tonight."

I replied, "Tell her that I'm with Yna."

"Aye!" John replied.

I don't want yet to go home. I just want to see Sophie from here. If only I can come near and closer to her, possibly I don't feel this way.

However, Sophie suddenly stops eating, and later on she banged the table, crying and shivering.

"John, I need to see Sophi! She's crying and she needs me!" I exclaimed.

"No! You can't go into that house Xian! Sophie doesn't want and need your help! Let her be! Let her live her life without a savior, like you Xian! Please, let's go home before Celine discovered your lies."

By then, I felt like I was hit by a truck and I was stabbed for a million times.

However, John is right. If I will save Sophie tonight, Yna and Mom will never stop with their black and bad plans against her.

"Let's go, Xian! It seems to rain anytime soon!" John exclaimed and looked up at the cloudy sky. 

"D*mn!" I cursed out of my anger. Sophie's mom slapped her and I could sense that she got hurt by looking at her surprised and shocked expression. By looking at the widened, round eyes.

"John, whether you like it or not I'll go and talk to Sophie!"

I was about to run when a big truck passes by.

"God damn it!" I kick the ground out of frustration.

John trapped my shoulders and said, "It's a sign that even life and destiny made a reason for you to leave Sophie, alone." Xian, let her Sophie go because you will be marrying Yna in the future, and you can't do anything against it."

"Sophie Sooooooophieee!"

"Mr.John, I want to see her! I want to hold her cold and wet hands, Sophie!"

By then, the rains start pouring into my lonely and desperate soul. Even the sky is sad, just like me. It because of more emotional and longing for warmth.

"Xian! The rain is getting stronger! We need to go!"

Mr. John told me but I don't want still to go home. From here, I couldn't see anymore Sophie. Her parents seem like arguing about something.

"Sophie!" I uttered.

Slowly, I closed my eyes and savor the pain in my chest. John is grabbing my arms but still, I'm standing in a quiet and wet road and willing to see Sophie.

"Xian! Yna is calling!"

I snatched the phone from him and answered the callback, "Xian?! Where are you? Why did you tell your Mom that you're with me! For goodness! Tell me where are you right now, Xian!"

Yna's voice makes me irritated and annoyed. She's too loud and sassy that makes here more desperate and hopeless.

"Sophie!" I exclaimed when I saw Sophie went to the balcony, talking someone to her phone.

How to wish I can call her. How I wish can hear her sweet and soft voice. "Sophie! You're with Sophie again, huh? Xian?"

In slow motion, my heart skip a beat when she laughs loudly. I've been longing for that laughter but someone already made Sophie laugh like that.

"Xian! Answer me!"

Because of pain, because my hope is fading I answered Yna, "Let's have a date tomorrow afternoon. I will fetch you, so wait for me."

Yna gasped and couldn't believe what I told her earlier."Really?! Oh my! Of course Xian, I'll wait for you!"

If it's the only to move on, if it's the best way I can live my life to the fullest, then I am willing to let Sophie go.

From now in, I'll just our memories into the deepest part of my heart.

"Good night!" I said and ended up the call.

"Let's go home, John! I'm done with this drama!"

John hurriedly put the umbrella at the backseat and opened the door for me. "Please, don't tell Mom about this, John. I don't want her and Yna to hurt Sophie because of me."

John started the engine and replied, "You can count on me, Xian. Just keep your promises to Yna and to Sophie."

"You know what Mr. John, I've never felt both this excitement and pain in my entire life. When I met Sophie, she taught me that life is the best gift from above.

That life is wonderful even though it gives us struggles and fights that made us hopeless and miserable. She taught me how to appreciate that gift and she's different from all the girls I've met. She's totally peculiar and strange."

"Are you in love with her, Xian?"

I was taken aback by his query. Am I really in love?

"No! I just want to be her friend, her protector!"

John gave me an abrupt laugh and said sarcastically, "You don't have to answer me tonight. For sure, at the right time, you can tell Sophie what you really feel towards her."

"Do I look in love, John? Please, tell me!" I looked at him on the side mirror but he just laughs at me.

"Ask first yourself. If you have enough the courage to accept it, then I'll answer your question right away."

John helped me to know my real feelings toward Sophie. But maybe, I'm afraid to commit but I don't want to leave her side; her life.

I'm too tired and exhausted. Sophie was near yet so far. If I will pursue what I want and what I dream about.

Then, I can probably reach her, touch, and hold the woman who changed my dull and negative perceptions about my life.
