Chapter 295: Flashback - 35

Jeren’s POV

"Why did you break up with me 19 years ago? I just want to know the reason. I know my parents said something to you, that’s why you broke up. But what did they say that made you change your mind and break up with me?"

This is something that has been eating me from inside all these years. Like, what was that thing that forced Ariel to break up with me? Because he is the type of person who doesn’t pay attention to anyone’s words. No matter what they say, even if they threaten to kill him, he’s not gonna pay attention. Like it was some kind of joke.

So, I want to know what is that thing my father, my mother said to him that made him break up with me the next day and never come to me again.

He put down the cup of tea and joined both his hands. Like he was nervous. First time seeing him nervous. This is something new for me. I guess, after all these years, everyone’s changed. And he... had changed too.

"Jeren, it’s not like we’re going to get into a relationship now. So let the thing that happened in the past stay in the past. Let’s not talk about that. We have met after many years, so let’s just enjoy our time as old classmates and say goodbye."

I guess my love is really too much for him. That’s why whenever I think that he can’t be mine anymore, it hurts. And now, there was a little hope, a slight hope inside me because he talked with me first. And now, who knows if we are going to come into a relationship again. But hearing him say this, I guess I’m such a loser. And I don’t have luck in love.

"Haha, you are right. I was stupid. There is no need for you to answer that question. So, what do you want me to talk about? ’Cause you called me first." I brush off my own thoughts saying that.

"I don’t have anything important to talk about. I just wanted to say hello. Since it’s been many years since we talked." He answered casually.

"Oh, really? Yes. Then, now that we’ve talked, I will have to leave because I’m not a free person. I’m very busy." I stand up from the sofa and smile at him. My smile was telling him that he can leave now.

"Yes, you’re right. Glad to meet you again, Jeren." Saying that, he stood up from the sofa and waved his hand at me as a goodbye and started to walk toward the door. My heart was telling me to stop him, to tell him that I still love him. But I stopped myself. Because I know he doesn’t love me anymore. When he reached the door, he stopped there and turned toward me with a gentle smile. I also smiled back. While opening the door, he left from there.

I was left alone there. A sorrowful feeling again started to haunt me. After many years, I was getting better. And then again, he shows up and messes everything.

I sat back down on the sofa. Why? Why is it so hard for me to just forget about him? But that’s not easy. Or should I just accept him? As I was lost in thought, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Silas and Orian stepped inside. My two lovely sons. Seeing them, I felt energetic again. But somewhere in my heart, there is a wardrobe which is still closed and full of memories of Ariel.

I can’t show my sons that I am depressed. I start to smile and change my facial expression.

"My lovely sons, you’re here?"

They both came and sat down on each side of me. As they sat down, they both grabbed the cookies which were on the table and started to eat.

"So, Dad, how did the meeting go?" Silas asked.

I told him everything, from the start to the end, what they said, and that Theron had called Ariel from the Life and Death Guild. I didn’t tell them about Ariel’s real identity, because I don’t want them to know about my past. It’s nothing but sorrowful details. I just told them Ariel was the Master of the Guild.

They both hugged me to comfort me. I guess they also understand that whenever I am sad, they both hug me like this. Even if I smile at them, they understand what I am feeling inside.

"Dad, don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine soon. But I saw someone leaving from your study. Was he your friend?" I guess Silas is talking about Ariel because he was the one who left from here. I think they saw him already.

"Yes, he was my old classmate and the Guildmaster, like I just told you."

They both didn’t ask me any further questions, just remained sitting there while hugging me. But then I remembered about how I found Kael coming out from my son’s room. When I saw that, I was very angry. That’s why I took him with me and found out he was the brother of Damon. Still, I didn’t spare him. I slapped him and even punched him. ’Cause he deserved it? How dare he sneak into my son’s bedroom?

He apologized to me and said that he went to return the daggers. And I remember that those daggers were Silas’ favorites. He adored them. He loved them. I know how important those daggers were. That’s why I forgave him. Later, those four brothers told me that they like Silas. Four of them? Are they idiots? How can my son get married to four?

I told them to know their limits, but still they said that if Silas likes them, then I can’t stop it. I want to ask Silas about this, but I don’t have the courage to ask him. Because what if he says yes, that he likes the four of them? My heart would break, because after love, he will also say he wants to get married, and then he will leave me. when he leaves i will be all alone.. Because Orian also told me about the one he loves. My sons are both becoming adults day by day.

It’s good that Orian didn’t ask for an answer yet, but I will have to meet Meyer and make him understand that he and Orian can’t be together for now. Love is a different thing and living together is different.
