CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
“If you’re just going to tease, you’d better leave.” I don’t know what bad wind brought this rambunctious Dylan here to my house. He suddenly appeared in the kitchen and he passed through the backdoor.
“I heard you signed the annulment last week. Margot’s lawyer asked our lawyer to help.”
“So? Help her to finish. So that I can find someone else also.”
“If our lawyer will help him, viola! They can process it quickly, you’ve been annulled.”
“Why do you care?” I was making cup noodles for lunch when he suddenly came here.
“Wallace said you met at the mall last week then you saw Umami and —-”
“Hey!” I shouted. “It’s not Umami, they adopted it so don’t include my child!” Dylan laughed out loud while holding his stomach.
“Confirmed that you’re stupid. No used of being of handsome, because the brain is empty.” And he laughed even louder as if he was about to be going have a heart attack. If he will die her because of too much laughing I will throw him in the garbage. When he stopped he took a glass and poured wine. Son if the— he did not even ask my permission. “They’re leaving the next day. I booked their ticket because of Dane’s order.”
“So?”
“Stupid.”
“Your more stupid.”
“You’re worse.”
“Get out of here.”
“I want to invite you since Maggie has initiated a farewell party because she and Blaze will go. It looks like your friends don’t love you so I’ll invite you. They’re no longer love you so I will invite you.” I frowned at what he said. There is a farewell but I do not know? Yes, I am suspended from work but why did I seem to be ignored all of a sudden?
“Overthink, just imagine you ran away as usual so you weren’t included in the happenings. For not painful because you are neglected.”
“I don’t care about that party.” I stirred the cup of noodles at put the cover.
“There should be because Margot was there.” I looked at him smiling. “To meet her for the last time.”
“So police will with me because I approached her?”
“You do not know?”
“Know what?” My forehead frowned. This asshole really knows how to play.
“Margot has removed your restriction because they are leaving.” Does that mean I can approach her? “She only filed a restriction because she was hiding Um — her adapted aaaahahahahaha.” The laughter got louder and he was already holding his stomach. “Adaptedahahhahahahaha.”
“Crazy.”
“I’m laughing stupidly because of you.” He tried not to laugh but he was really laughing. “‘Fuck! I really can’t help it. I don’t think anyone like you would really exist.” The ass cry wipes away tears. “‘Fuck! You’re really slow.”
“I understand everything, Dylan. So go away.”
“You understand that you’re stupid and you’re slow?”
“I understand that you’re an asshole, get out of here.”
“He still doesn’t want to admit that he’s slow. There’s already evidence but still can’t get it. You can see face to face but you’re still thinking.” Then he opened the back door. “Anyway, come tonight. The venue is at BCC see yeah there!”
“You’re banned by the BCC.”
“My staff just banned there, not me. I’m leaving and maybe my excessive laughter caused by your slow brain will be put me to death.” And he left me.
I sat down to think about what Dylan had said. I don’t know what trip he had in life and why he invited me. Since I was able to return I have not been with the group. They just call me to say hello because they can’t come to me because they also take care of me a lot. I was suspended from work, I also had nothing to do outside so I trained myself inside the house.
Margot was leaving the next day. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with me showing up. Also, I am the owner of the bar. If they don’t want to take me with them, don’t. I will hang out at another table. I still feel sad, why didn’t they invite me?
I followed what Dylan said and I got ready then went to the bar. I caught up with them in the VIP room. There were three bugs, along with Maggie, Dane, Wallace, and Dylan.
“I came just to say goodbye because I wasn’t invited.”
“Are you important?” Maggie asked.
“No, that’s why I took the initiative.”
“Yow, Jace, sit here, let’s be friends first because your friends don’t want you.” Dane stared at Dylan. I approached him and then sat down next to him.
“Jace, not at all —”
“It’s okay, Blaze, Phoenix, Zeus, and Dane. It’s really okay.” Dylan handed me the wine so I took it.
“Party drug, you like?”
“Dylan!” Dane scolded her brother.
“I just asked and maybe he likes it because he’s brokenhearted with lovers and friends.” I shook in response and immediately drank. “Wise decision.”
“So, what’s up? Besides, that I am not welcome here and I’m just pushing myself?” I asked but no one answered. I was about to lower the glass but Dylan put it again.
“You drink more, more cheers, more fun.” I drank what he translated and when it ran out he took the glass in my hand. “No need for glasses, take this all.” He gave me a bottle of whiskey so I took it.
“Dylan, stopped!” Dane rebuke her brother.
“Don’t worry, Dane, I’m just making Jace happy because you don’t love him.”
“You haven’t answered my question yet. Why haven’t I been informed about this?”
“It’s my decision.” I looked at Margot as she spoke.
“Ah, ok. I’ve already signed the annulment hope you’re happy.” I said and knocked over the bottle which was almost half full.
“Thank you,” she answered.
“You can follow us, Jace, if you just want to,” Maggie said.
“Maggie,” Margot scolded the sister.
“Why is it necessary? You yourself don’t want me with your sister’s husband, do you?”
“I really don’t want you with my sister but I have no choice. I don’t want my nephew to go through what my sister and I went through growing up without a father.”
“You mean Margot’s adopted that she also called Umami? There’s Wallace, ready to be a father.”
“Jace, it’s not because being slow is ok, you will go to stand for it? That’s bad, the economy can’t move forward if we’re all slow.” Dylan was holding my shoulder when he said that.
“I thought we were friends now, Dylan?”
“Yeah, that’s why I’m advising you. It’s not like that, the brain should be exercised, what was your game when you were a kid? I guess you only watch cartoons so your brain is not exercising well.”
“You’re stupid.”
“Ok-ok, just drink first so we’re happy.” He held the bottle and made me drink so I drank too. “That is, when you are drunk you can say a lot.”
“Be careful when you leave, Margot, I hope you’re happy —- you two and the family you’re going to form.” I looked at Wallace then lowered the bottle and stood up.
“Jace —”
“It’s okay,” I interrupted Zeus then walked away.
“Hey, where are you going?” Dylan called me but I didn’t listen. “I thought we were friends but he leave me.”
I went straight to the stage and whispered to a DJ then picked up the microphone. We hired a DJ to organize the music. One by one, the former dancers left and I was left in the middle.
I took a seat and sat in the middle. Holding the microphone I looked at Margot who was staring at me. I met her gaze as I sang. I know I have no rights but fuck the pain is still here. Especially and she has someone now.
I just remember the times how much she still loved me and how she made me happy. The time when I was the only one she loved. At the time I was the only one she cared about. At the time I was the only one she was looking at. But now, I lost everything mostly her love.
‘You idiot, Jace, you were very happy with the two pearls. Now there is nothing left for you and even the woman you love is also missing from you.’ Don’t I deserve to have a second chance?
Why she can’t love me again? Is there really no hope that she will come back to me? Can’t I just have her again? Doesn’t she really love me anymore? Is she leaving? Will she really leave me? I’m really alone?
Can I still stop her? Can I ask her to stay? I need her, I need her so much in my life and it hurts so much to think that she is no longer around. But, looks like whatever I do. I am no longer the one Margot loves.
Don’t go tonight
Stay here one more time
Remind me what it’s like, oh
And let’s fall in love one more time
I need you now by my sideThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
It tears me up when you turn me down
I’m begging please, just stick around
I’m sorry, don’t leave me, I want you here with me
I know that your love is gone
I can’t breathe, I’m so weak, I know this isn’t easy
Don’t tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
Don’t tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
Don’t tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
That your love is gone
I know this isn’t easy (easy)
That your love is gone
I threw the microphone in then walked out of the bar. Fuck this life, better if I die rather than slowly kill of this pain and sadness.
