Chapter One Hundred Forty-One:
Croosalba's House
I just silently stared at the sky while thinking of… nothing. I just feel light and happy but, I know there is something is missing. Although I know it will also come whatever it is or whoever it is.
"Hey, my dear sister!" suddenly my brother came out and surprised me.
"What the! Shiro!" I angrily screamed at him but he just laughs that made me glare at him.
"What!" he said as he shrugged.
I just shake my head from what he reacted, and thankfully he is my older brother that is why I just let him.
Shu Akiro Croosalba my older brother and the next CEO of our company but for what I am seeing him right now. I don't know if he can really be a serious CEO because all he does is to joke and play around. He often told me that he is free spirit guy that is why he do everything he wanted. Without any restrictions or any limitations that makes me worry. But then, I know he has a kind heart and soul and I know when the right time comes, he can be a good CEO for our company. Right now, he is a college student with a reputation of being women magnet.
To the handsomeness and decency of my brother, who wouldn't be fascinated by his looks? There are lots of them though even if he was women magnet, I know he hasn't hurt a woman yet because he hasn't entered into any relationship. Even if it is a short term relationship or a serious relationship because that is what he promised to our father. That's why many are broken hearted because of him and I can't really blame the women for that.
Anyway, I still don't like the sudden appearances he makes especially I just wanted to relax in silence.
"You ruin my day didn't you know that?"
"Oh, come on my dear sister! I know you're just thinking that's why you are here at the garden." He said and he's quite correct because I can say that I am thinking but then I am not.
It's hard to explain. "Well, the truth I am here just to relax and not to think, okay?" Shu Akiro just shrugs off that I just shake my head. "Anyway, what are you doing here at this time? I thought that you were with Drake?" I asked. Drake is his friend, a go-lucky-guy and a playboy.
"Yeah." he lazily answered.
"Uhm, something's wrong?"
"Well…" he takes a deep breath before he seriously stares at me.
"What?!" I asked and with that simple question change everything.
…
The day my brother's friend pleaded to help him to let me be a substitute for a group date. At first my brother didn't like the idea of me getting into such group dating since I'm only sixteen. Though he had no choice but to let me without our parents knowing because he has some serious debt that he needs to pay and this is the one way he can repay his friend. So, he had no choice but to let me but he will be my guardian.
On the day of the group dating, with two others girls, we wait for our dates and for some reason I suddenly feel nervous. Not in a bad way, because there is something I couldn't explain I'm just eagerly wanted to meet one of the guys. But I was so surprised when he himself withdrew to meet me. I don't know why he suddenly withdrew though it's enough for me to see him even from a far. I didn't see his face for that long but that was enough for me to get my full attention.
So I did everything just to know his name, but since I was still in high school, I need to graduate from high school to college before my parents' and mostly my brother allows me to let me date. That I cannot argue with and yet, I still keep stalking the man that took my breath away. The only guy that I couldn't forget no matter what I do and his name is…
Haimon Del Gazini. The most billionaire in the entire Sky City, and at the young age, he begins to learn to manage their company. And when his parents suddenly died in a car accident, he became the next young CEO at the age of seventeen and things became harder for me to meet him personally.
Haimon has become so busy that almost no one can see his face and become unfamiliar to everyone, media and even social media he kind of deliberately avoided them all. Not even a single picture can be seen at the city. That makes me want to know him more and more even though it's harder to do.
…
Years pass by and finally I graduated in college. My parents and my brother were so glad seeing that I achieve my goals. Now is the time to fulfill what I'm wanted to do. To get a chance to work under the Del Gazini's Corporation.
When I passed their company's interview, I worked there for two years but not once or for a moment did I see Haimon there. It's so sad but I don't have much time to prolong this feeling, the longing, the wanting and the waiting, all those feelings that I couldn't explain why it is only him can fill up the entire emotions I'm missing.
"Shuki!" suddenly someone cuts off my thoughts and when I turned around, I saw Alena coming towards me.
"Huh?!"
"Let's go in!" she excitedly said and we're here to celebrate our first year anniversary of our shop at the Sky City best known restaurant because, after two years working to Haimon's company I decided to resign and built my own business.
"How about Deal?"
"She'll be here soon."
"Okay! Then, let's go!" I said and I don't know that this is the beginning of an unexpected meeting.
