My Secret Lovelife - Chapter 140
After 3 years 3 months it’s our first official date.
——-Yesterday———
“Lacy, you are still so early, let me sleep more. ”
“Jeez Sonnet how much lazy you have and will become. By the way you two ever had a date? ”
“Yeah.Why are you asking this suddenly? ”
“Where how? Why you didn’t tell me? ”
“It’s very special that’s why. Computer class date. Exam date. Pre exam exam date.Post exam date. Lab date… ”
“Wait, wait stop. These types of dates you two had during these three years. Jeez! You both are really typical saints in couple’s clothing! No wonder you both work in research companies for crafting new software that will rule the world. You both are working for industry 6.0 right? ”
“Yeah it’s mine and his dream job. A simple gadget that would change the world. That would command more than thousands of gadgets at a same time and will be store billions and trillions of data in a one compact design. It’s a real cool and fun job. All the subjects which I found ridiculous are needed to put forward during my college days along with my most favorite ones are mixed and compiled together into the making of a single gadget that will rule the industry and reduce workload and increase efficiency. ”
“Idiot! and thinking of these all day you two have forgotten that now you both are no longer bound to your parents will. I won’t listen to a thing. Tomorrow you have to come to the amusement park and bring him along. I will bring mine. ”
“But don’t you think he should ask me out first. ”
“You two blockheads are made for each other indeed. Keep waiting until you turn old. ”
“Okay okay. Tell me the spot. ”
“Tomorrow at 10 a. m., we will meet at the station from there Henry will lead us. ”
“Fine by me ”
“It’s settled. If I find you are not coming, I bring your neck out of your home. ”
“Eh! Ha ha ha. You won’t be able to.I will come. ”
“Good.”
But how to tell him. If one thing hadn’t changed was my shy nature, the everlasting youth of shyness.
“Hello Sky how are you? ”
“I miss you. ”
I blushed.
“Are you free tomorrow? ”
“Have you fed your brain to Lacy? ”
“How did you know? ”
“I know you very well. Your tone seems that you’re quite threatened. ”
“Huh is it really that obvious? ”
“Yep.I’m free tell me. ”
“Well how to tell it. Actually um… would.. um.. ”
He teased, “Yes umm… ”
“Sky! ”
“Ok I won’t joke. Well I was thinking that we haven’t be on a date right? ”
“I was trying to tell the same thing. ”
“I’m smart right. ”
“Yeah your are genius. Let’s meet tomorrow at the station. Lacy will also come with her boyfriend. Well will enjoy. ”
“I love the way you’re unlike others. Other women distinguishes between them and men. But you are different. And you are the first girl I have ever met that I have crush upon. ”
“Thank you sweet talker. I’m habituated with your sweet talks but it still feels fresh. ”
Mom shouted, ” Come here after you have finished talking with Sky. ”
How come she knew? Is Sky and Mom both magicians!
“See, mom is calling you. Meet you tomorrow. ”
I hung up. I went to her and told her about the date.
“You are grown up. I trust you. No need to tell me always. Do whatever you like. I won’t be the bone in your relationship. I just want my children to be happy. You, Nikki even Sky and Lacy. They are no different. ”
But the most difficult part was selecting dresses. I took the master guidance from my boss of dates, Lacy. The evening time was occupied with selecting and rejecting dresses. Then the handbag. She felt really dejected on seeing the noob side of mine when it comes to dressing up.
Many other selections were made.
And finally today….
It felt the spring of our life came. We met finally after so many days. Lacy and Brother Henry arrived too.
She teased, “Oh my Sonnet; You came before us…”
“Jeez lesbians. “, Sky smirked.
I and Lacy shouted together,”We aren’t! ”
Brother Henry being more mature among us tittered.
He told Sky, “You really can make other’s laugh and make this serious girl shout. Good job. ”
“It’s his part time hobby after all. “, I replied in an indifferent tone.
“No it’s my all time job to annoy you. ”
I made faces slightly. But he turned his in another direction and Henry, Lacy laughed.
The train arrived. We laughed, had snacks on the way until we reached ‘Lily Blossoms’. It felt that we were back to our college days. Those good old days which are really over now.
We entered the Bubble Amusement Park. One of the best dating spot. We chatted, rode rides and had ice-creams until it was the afternoon when I and Lacy had planned to part ways to enjoy with our lovers.
While we were alone I asked one question to him
” Are you really happy with me? ”
“Yes.Why are you asking it all of a sudden? ”
“Actually, why would anyone like me? It’s not that I think I’m bad but still. I didn’t even give you the privilege to be with me always. I rarely contacted you after we were busy with our jobs. But why.. ”
He looked at me and replied, ” Because you are YOU. I feel upset when you fail to receive my calls or you weren’t able to spend time with me even after our pact was long invalid. Yet I respect you, I respect your decisions and I will always, because I love you. ”
I felt emotional, ” Thank you Sky for believing in me. Thank you. I’m not a good lover but I will try my best to be with you. ”
“Well well, will you watch a movie with me. Don’t be emotional yet. ”
“Yes.But not too much action movies. ”
“I know your genre, Sunny. ”
His bright smile and hearing him call me Sunny after a long time brought back the memories when we used to be together for most of the time in our college. Those secret sensations and secret feelings.
“Yes.”, as I held his hand.
The speciality of the amusement park was the movie theater. The bubble room and and bubble accommodation for couples. We booked for a romantic film. With him I don’t bother even if we are together for the entire day or forever, even if were apart before or couldn’t spend enough before. But all that mattered was our feelings for each other.
While we were in the middle of the movie he suddenly whispered,
“Do you want to know the culprit? ”
It was a long gone event, I thought he had forgotten to tell me. But I never thought that right now, today will be that day.
I put my head on his shoulders “Well tell me. ”
“It was Snow. ”
I put my head up and asked, “What! But why? I had never done anything to her, but why? ”
“I knew you would react like that. But I wasn’t that surprised. Actually she was not alone but she was the mastermind behind the entire design. ”
“But what would she gain? ”
“Music”
“No wonder for the rest two consecutive years she was in charge of participation and performing songs in fest. But why would she hire so many people? ”
“Jealousy, Ambition. ”
“And what did you sacrifice? ”
He looked at me shocked.
“I mean if she can plot such a play then she won’t leave her ambition to destroy me. ”
He clasped my hand and spoke, ” My hardwork”
“What? When. ”
“Don’t you remember,I needed to complete her final year project with her otherwise she would not leave so easily.Actually in the end I had to do it. But as I said she won’t be able to escape, I took revenge. The project was one the most complicated projects and completely above her knowledge.Only few people can tackle explaining it. And now you know the result during the job interview. ”
“So that was the condition. Don’t speak enjoy the movie. And never do things on your own . We should face our hardships together. Although your plan was superb but you shouldn’t have sacrificed your time to do with her alone right. ”
“But I remember you were jelly at that time. Ha ha ha. ”
“You still remember! It’s really embarrassing. “, as I looked at him and was getting a bit shy.
We held our hands together. Everything was put in perfect place. Lacy and Ellie got her job in the same firm. Paul, Allen and Stephen got their dream job. Nikki completed her high school and just got admitted to college. Well talking about my family. It became much better than before. Gray finally found the one who actually loves him. He changed completely, but thanks to his new lover. Shelly just had a break up from her sixth one and was on the track of recovering. Snow is job hunting and might be cursing Sky from behind. Well she deserves it to take away my man from me for most of the time during the final year. And Lacy, Henry are still the most romantic and passionate couples unlike us. But no matter what happens we will stay together and overcome our feelings together hand in hand just like so many years that have passed.
The movie continued. I put my head on his shoulder again. He held my hand and secretly put a ring on my ring finger.
He whispered, “Will be my Sunshine forever? ”
I replied weeping and smilingly, ” Yes. ”
