Chapter 37
Gina's POV
What was wrong with my life? Did I do something so bad in my previous life? Why couldn't I fall in love happily like the others? Why couldn't I deserve to be happy once in my lifetime?
I grabbed my purse and rushed downstairs while he froze to death. It was smart of me that I remembered to take it with me. If not, I might end up moneyless and also connectionless. Thank a lot to my senses for not being reckless at that moment.
Oh God! Why was I so dumb all the time? Being in this house was now like a torture. It was showing me how stupid I was that I didn't recognize him and fell in love with him. Why am I being like this, falling for the same guy again and again? Urg! I hated this place now.
"Gina, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" his dad went towards me with a worried face. I faced him, "You knew me, aren't you?"
Yeah, that's right. I was so sure he knew me so well. Why was he acting so innocent, tilting his head to one side?
"What are you talking about, Gina?" he asked, confusions were evident in his voice. Argh! Didn't he get what I meant or he just continued acting innocent?
"You knew I am Chrissy from the start, aren't you? Please don't beat around the bush. I am so certain that you knew me all along."
His mouth was shut immediately at my words along with his eyes shifted away from me. God! He didn't say anything back to me but his expressions were enough for the answer to my question. How could he do this? I couldn't help but clenching my jaws hard. He is so cruel. He knew how I hate him and how I suffered because of him. How could he make me marry him, the evil of my life?
"What would you do? I couldn't marry your son now and I won't marry him ever. We are done. I am calling off the wedding. I am sure you get this and I don't think I need to say sorry. It is not my fault you know. Goodbye, Mr. Fredericks. I seriously wish we won't see each other again in the rest of our lives." With that, I bid farewell and left the house in no time.
I didn't know where I am right now. My heart was itching so hard that I wanted to die. The memories from the past was flowing into my minds. I hated this. I didn't want to recall that misery I felt in the past. It was so painful and unbearable that I wanted to forget that most in my life. I better leave this place and stay away from him as far as I could.
Tears were now uncontrollable and I felt like dying. All of the energies from my bodies were nowhere to be found. I was now dragging my legs on the silent street under the bright sunlight. Everything surround me looked so peaceful and happy while my world was collapsing and becoming more lifeless as the time passed. All of my happiness and excitements now were gone. They now turned into nightmares and pains.
I looked around. What am I supposed to do now? A thought came into my mind as my eyes landed on an unoccupied cab across the road. That's right. Why didn't I think of it earlier? I hurried towards that cab, "To the airport, please."
The cab started moving and I wasted no time, digging out my phone from the purse. "Grey, where are you?" I asked, cutting his formal greetings as soon as he picked up my call. I wasn't in the mood for that formals as all of my patience left a few minutes ago.
"Umm ... I am at the airport," he replied. This time the world is with me.
"Good, prepare the plane now. I am going back to Alaska and I am on my way to airport. Go! Now!" I demanded but it didn't affect him. As usual, his curiosity started, "What happened, Gina? It is so sudden."
"No questions please, Grey. I need to go back RIGHT NOW! It is urgent and I will arrive soon. Please stop asking me! Go and start the engine now. You know I don't like to wait," I threatened, preventing all of his upcoming questions.
"Okay, okay, as you wish, my princess." Can't help with sarcasms huh, Grey?
I put my phone back to the purse after ending the phone call. He sounded worry about me but I didn't want to talk and discuss about this matter. All I needed now is an explanation and I couldn't wait to know that.
No matter how many time I thought about this marriage between us, I felt strange. That's ridiculous. Knowing my parents, I am so sure they wouldn't do such kind but why? Why did my parents agreed to this? There were numerous questions, unanswered inside my head. I am dying to know their reasons for this but how am I supposed to? They were now resting peacefully in the heaven.
God! Mom, Dad, come and explain me about this crap! I couldn't understand you anymore. Why on the earth did you do this? You two knew so clear that I hate him so much but why? Frustration was killing me and I couldn't think any of their reasons.
Ah! That's it. Lucy was there with us all the time during that incident. Maybe she knew the reason? I bet she knew. If not, who the hell on the earth am I going to ask? Wait a minute! She also knew about this well from the start? God! What was happening to my life? Betrayers everywhere. Why didn't she tell me this? Lucy, you better give me a good reason for this.
I arrived at the airport after thirty minutes of being in the cab. Grey picked me up at the entrance and led me to the plane. He was looking at me with all the worries and questions on his face but I shrugged, ignoring him completely. I wouldn't talk about this until I knew the whole thing. I walked fast to the plane. I wanted to arrive Alaska as possible as I could. Lucy, prepare for the answers. I am not going to give up until I get all the answers.
John's POV
"What am I supposed to do?" I whispered. I was now sitting on a couch with my hands on the back of my neck at the living room. I didn't know what to do and how to continue this. I was out of my ideas. My parents were also here across me but they weren't helping me. I looked down to the floor and ran my fingers through hair as they continued buzzing me with numerous questions.
"What are you going to do? Do you have any plan?"
Oh! My great dad, do you think I have plan right now? Damn it!
"What! What can I do now? She knew I am that guy now and it is game over. Nothing is going to work," I couldn't help hissing at my dad who was giving me nothing but headaches. Dear Dad, can you leave me alone for a second?
"How did she find out? I already asked you numerous times. Why are you avoiding this?"
Again! This question! When is he going to stop this?
"Is that important?" I scoffed, rolling my eyes. Didn't he see that I didn't want to talk about this stupidity of mine and also his? This all happened because he didn't tell me about her from the start.
"Yes, for me. NOW TELL!" he snapped. Seriously, Dad? I couldn't help but rolled my eyes again. My eyes are going to twist because of too much rolling. Argh! Why was that so important to him?
"Argh! Fine! She found out while we were watching my childhood photos and she remembered me instant, satisfied now?" My brows were now knitted together. He was pressuring me so much to get this words out of my mouth. Damn it! Is he my dad or some investigator? I am a culprit to her but not him. I didn't do anything wrong to him but he was now treating me like some kind of criminal. I hate this. I needed some air.
"I see. I should have hide those photos. I didn't see that coming. I thought everything is okay."
"Dad, you can't hide this forever. Don't you get this fact? She will know it sooner or later. I was glad that she knew that now. If she knew after the wedding, I don't dare to think what she would do. She would hate me more than this."
"I agreed with Johnny, Daniel. She will find out sooner. We can't keep this forever. We have to tell her one day."
Finally, my mom opened her mouth. Thank god! You are still here and alive, mom. Sarcasms inside me were beyond control and I was trying my best not to sound rude to them. God! I am reckless now.
"Whatever!" he said with his hands in the air, "Now, all you have to do is to get her back. You have to marry her. You are not allow to against me, you know this?"
What the hell! Why was I being born as his son? So demanding and bossy. Didn't he see the fact that Gina hate me to the core and he is saying me to get her back? I wanted to do that as much as he wanted. Maybe more than he wanted. I am sure.
"How could you say this after all? How am I supposed to do that after all this? It is not as easy as you said, Dad. She is so disgusted of me now and she didn't even let me touch her." I queried and leaned my back against the couch. Convincing her to come back to me is the hardest thing right now. He knew that well but how could he say this like it is just a simple task? Our relationship is now more complicated than spider webs.
"It is not my thing, John. It is yours. Beg her until she come back to you or do something that will make her mind turn back to you." My dad huffed and that made me roll my eyes again for what it looked like hundredth time today. God! Do something or beg her! Didn't he get the fact that she hate me to the death and she wouldn't forgive me not in this lifetime? I placed one hand on my forehead and rubbed it hard. If frustration could kill human being, that would be me. I couldn't think of anything that would solve this mess. My brain had stopped functioning after hearing too many revelations.
"I want to see you two marry, John. This is my wish. For you, it sounded like an order but son, I really want to keep my promise with George and Wendy. They are my only real friends and I wanted to fulfill all of their wishes though they didn't ask me except this marriage. Also, you promised me you won't argue and comply every words I said, remember?"
That is. He sounded like he was soothing me but actually he was reminding me that I am not allow to against him in every single words he said. I am done here. I am not controlling my frustrations anymore.
"ARGH! I REMEMBERED. DON'T REMIND ME AGAIN AND AGAIN."
----------
*Flashback*
"You awake! How are you feeling? Are you good? We have been so worried about you." My dad said, placing his one hand on my forehead. I smiled a little at his concern towards me.
"I am fine now. Don't worry about me so much. I am strong." I assured, not wanting him to worry about me anymore. "By the way, did you hear some news about Chrissy, Dad? Is she fine now?" I continued, worries laced my voice. She looked so weak and also fragile back then at the hospital and I couldn't stop my anxious for her. She is the only one who occupied my mind and thoughts entirely during these days after she went back home.
"I heard she is still in her nightmares and she isn't eating much. Her dad said she is now suffering malnutrition," he said, looking straight at me with his brows furrowing together. My heart tingled with pain at his words. She was still suffering badly. Oh God! Why did I do that? You are the worst, John Fredericks. I dropped my head down as I didn't have enough courage to face my dad. I knew he is angry at me by looking at his face. His eyes were flaming red with his nostrils flared.
"You did that to her. You tortured her so much. Did you get that now? I am so disappointed about what you did, John. I still couldn't believe you were that cruel."
"I know. I am sorry. I won't ever do that again. Ever! If you want to punish me, go ahead. I am willing to accept all." I barked back at his word which were crushing my heart and soul. I could accept any punishments he would give me for that because I deserved them. I needed to be punished at least once. If not, I might die or go insane for blaming myself too much.
"Good! Now listen carefully, your punishment is don't ever argue me back or don't ever disobey me starting from today. You have to listen and do every words I said, understand?" he demanded. The dominance in his voice was sending me chills down my spine. I smiled. The great Daniel Frederick is back,
"Yes, I understand. I promise I won't disobey or argue you and I will comply every word you said. You can count on me. I will be your obedient son in the rest of my life."
-----------
"Don't worry, Dad. I will get her back. You can trust me. I won't let her leave me again. I love her and I need her in my life" I declared, calmness and confidence in my voice. That is true. I love her so much and I would do anything to get her back even if I had to kneel in front of her. I didn't care my pride now.
"So, my little plan worked." My dad smirked, wriggling his brows. What the hell was that? What did he do? I totally stunned at his words. Was there another secret? I raised my brows at him, "What did you say, Dad?"
He burst out of laughing. Was he provoking me? "Dad!" I shot a glare at him, signaling him to spill out whatever he meant by that.
"Well, I said my plan worked. I made a plan for you two."
"You made WHAT!"
Seriously? Are you kidding me? There is no end to surprise, huh!
"A plan to make you two fall in love deeply. I didn't tell you about her because of this. I knew you loved her so much back then and your mom and I was sure that you would be head over heels for her when you met again. So, we decided not to tell you about her and made this plan because we thought it would be better." He said proudly while my mom only nodded in unison. What was wrong with their brains? Were they out of their minds?
"What the heck! A plan to make us fall in love? Are you joking me? How could you do this? You hurt both of us, you know. "
"But, our plan succeed. You two fell in love deeply, aren't you?" he queried, making me speechless at his words.
"HA!" was the only response as my tongue tied and I couldn't find any words to retort back.
"It is time to stop sulking here. You are not a five year old child. Think something to take her back or do,"
Oh god! My mom finally had a voice to say. I was tired of rolling my eyes but I couldn't help it. She was right. I was wasting my time to find her now. It wasn't time to word fight with my dad.
"Fine! I am going. I am done here," I groaned and went straight to my room. Thank you, mom for cutting this bitter conservation.
I grabbed my phone. What the hell! Missed calls from Jason? What was that? Why did he called me? What's wrong with this guy? Argh! I finally pressed his number, deciding to listen whatever crap he is going to say.
"Oh god! Where had you been, you ass? Why didn't you pick your damn phone?" he hissed. God! Don't make me regret calling you, Jason. I am not that free to listen your mess.
"Sorry, dude. What is your problem? Tell me quick or I will hang up. I have a lot of things to do and I am not free for your non senses, bro" I scoffed, raking my hair with frustrations. He paused for a second before he sighed out loud, "I got it now. What is wrong with you two? You and Gina."
"What! What did you say? Did you see Gina? Where and when?" I jabbered as my heart started to race at the mention of her name. God! Nervousness was now present, killing all my patience as I waited for his reply.
"Yeh, I saw her at the airport entrance. I called her but she didn't seemed to notice me. Her face didn't look good. Did something happen between you two? She was half crying at that time. I tried to reach her but I lost in the middle of my way. She was fast."
She was crying? My heart scrunched up at the thought of her tears all over her face and her eyes. Damn it! I made her cry again.
"Hey! Johnny, are you still here? Are you listening?" he asked as if I was a deaf. I was in my own world for a few minutes before his voice rang my eardrum. He brought me back to life.
"Yeh, I am here. Thanks, bro. You helped me a lot. I have to go now. Talk to you later."
"Fine, see you later. Whatever the problem is, I wish you good luck in dealing with her." He cheered and that made my heart warm. Thank god that I called him. It was the best choice I made today. He is indeed a good friend. I smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Jason."
I paced for a moment after the phone call with him. What am I going to do now? What am I going to say when I meet her? How am I supposed to convince her?
My eyes landed on a shiny diamond ring which was lying solely on the floor when I was roaming around my cold empty room. That view made my heart turmoil and more tears rained down from my eyes. Didn't she know that ring is a proof of my love to her? It mean a lot to me and also to her I am sure but she threw it away like it mean nothing to her. Did she hate me that much?
I wiped away my tears as I picked up the ring,
"Gina, I am sorry. Please! Just please ... don't abandon me again."
