Marriage and Annulment

“Over there was the bathroom, you take a half bath first and then get dressed. I’ll just get you ready for bed.” She told me.

“Where are you from, Mitch?” I asked her.

“Ours is in the province. I’m only here in town because of my job. It’s so hard there, so I thought of working here. When I didn’t think of working here, I would probably be able to get married as hard as I am.” She told me.

I got up and went to the bathroom. I took a half bath first and then got dressed. I came out of the bathroom three minutes later. I found Mitch dressed as well.

“You didn’t take a half bath?” I asked her.

“I don’t like to take a bath or even a half bath at night because I get winded and my stomach suddenly hurts. You know, I’m the only one here, so no one will take care of me when I get sick. ” She told me.

I nodded in agreement. “You sit here and you sip the soup,” said Mitch.

I sat down in a chair and grabbed the cup noodles. Now I still feel hungry when I smell the cup noodles with that sea food flavor. I also finished eating and threw the empty cup of noodles in the trash can.

“Take a rest, Zander, I’ll be out in a minute.”

“Goodbye, Mitch. Don’t stay there long. It’s late at night and you still have work tomorrow. ” I told her.

It suddenly stopped and stared at me intently and suddenly nodded with a smile. I was suddenly ashamed of myself. I was like a boyfriend that cares for her girlfriend, but I suddenly fell in love with Mitch. It came out for a moment, and I was left stunned inside the room. I decided to lie down as well and sleep. I just closed my eyes, but I didn’t go straight to sleep since the place is new to me.

I heard the door open and Mitch entered. I felt her approach my bed and hug me. I mistakenly imagined her. I thought she was snob, but why is she taking care of me? Never in my whole life have I experienced anything like this. It even came from a woman I just met. I just heard it whispered in my ear.

“Can’t you sleep?” It was as if all the hair on my body stood up because of what she said.

I didn’t say anything. I just felt Mitch. Maybe she noticed I didn’t move, so she didn’t talk to me anymore.

The next day, I woke up early because today was the day we were going to the beach. I got dressed and left the room. I found Luciana in the living room of the house, ready to leave.

“I don’t think you’re too excited.” I told my housemates.

“Actually, miss, we woke up at four o’clock. We were so excited that we couldn’t sleep well.” Laica said to me.

I laughed. Then I noticed my phone rang. I answered Randolf’s call to me.

“Hello, Randolf. Why? ” I asked him on the other line.

 “Miss, Mr. Ching called this morning, he said he wanted to talk to you. ” said Randolf.

My eyebrows rose.

“I texted you last night, Randolf, that I would not be coming into the office today. I hope you told him that earlier.”

“I already told him, Miss, but he doesn’t want to believe it.”

“Do we have anything else to talk about? As far as I know, he will pull out his investment in our company, so what else can we talk about? ” I don’t know. “Miss.” Randolf said, once the phone rang. “Let’s go, girls.” I told them all. I walked out of the house first. but nashocked at the person I saw leaning against the hood of my car. “Good morning, Zaneska. I know you were surprised when I visited. How come you don’t pay attention to my message and call you? So I came to your house on purpose.” Mr. Ching said.

My eyebrows rose.

“Do we have anything else to talk about, Mr. Ching? ” I asked him.

“It’s not about business, Zaneska. It’s personal matters. ” The man answered.

“Can that wait? Maybe next week. because I’m off today. We are going somewhere. ” I said.

“Can I come along?”

Because of what this Chinese said, my brow furrowed.

What did he think we were close to each other?

I woke up to the noise coming from outside Mitch’s room. I got up and saw Mitch sitting in a chair at the table.

“Zander. You’re awake.” Mitch told me.

“What time is it?” I asked her.

“It’s nine o’clock.” Mitch replied.

I got up. My mother is definitely looking for me. And then it was too late to go to school.

“I’m leaving, Mitch. Thank you. ” I said.

Mitch nodded. And I left the room and continued walking until I could get out of the apartment. I looked for a motorcycle to ride home. I got off and walked into the house. I saw my mother sweeping the front of our house. I kissed my mother.

“You should eat, son. I have prepared food for you.” My mother said.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I was surprised because my mother didn’t even ask me why I came home in the morning.

“I’m sorry, mom, I just got home today.” I said.

“You are too old to look for more. Go ahead. You should entered the house. ” She told me.

It made me scratch my head. I went inside the house and went straight to the kitchen to eat. I still remember that Mitch clothes that I was wearing. It’s a good thing my mother didn’t notice. I am on the side of the road right now. Waiting for a motorcycle.

Duke had been calling me before, but I didn’t bother to answer him because I was teasing him. If he had delivered me last night, I wouldn’t be late today.
