章節 145: No Choice

Hayri pulled back a chair for Allie to sit in and once she was settled comfortably, he pulled another for his own, sitting beside her. Ajie, on the other hand, picked up the seat a little farther from them, somewhere they wouldn't have to see him squarely. Seeing them together was like torturing him on broad daylight and he might not be able to hold himself. All he was keeping now was his respect for Allie and the fact that all this was his fault.

The rest of them were also agitated, they could feel what each one must be feeling at that moment. Seeing his son hurting like that, Mrs. Lopez felt like it was her own retribution for losing him when he was young. But there was no one to blame, everything happened for a reason. Every one of them was teased by fate and they were forced to play along.

"Hayri, why didn't you tell me ahead you are coming?" asked Allie. She could have prepared herself for this situation and they wouldn't have been affected like this.
