Chapter 21
Sometimes like now I will have a sinister thought about people's goodwill, perhaps Anna left this for me so that she can poison me and kept me silent. Such is the sinister thought in my mind but looking at the food and the menu on the table, it was obvious that this cost even more than what he paid her to, Wait! He hasn't paid her yet.
Just as I was confused, I found another number card, yeah, it's a business card but with only phone number on it, I took out the one that I got earlier and it matched so I added it on my phone before I eat the food with my guard down.
After finis.h.i.+ng the food, I laid on the clean part of the bed with my eyes closed enjoying the sage mode I have attained, I just opened my eyes about to explore the room and Sui was right in front of my eyes and "BOOO!"
Of course, I am surprised and hit my head with the headboard. Hearing her giggling, I glared at her but then a guilty feeling washed up in my heart, I know why, it's because what I did Is just the same thing as I hated, cheating and even more netorare, basically I am cheating right in front of my better half who is watching and it's precisely the situation here even if she allowed it.
"Sui… Sorry…" I said with my head lowered and the giggle stopped.
"This is why I said you are too naïve and will never form a real relations.h.i.+p with real woman unless… you know she is your childhood friend or a woman who is hopelessly in love with you, if I am a woman in real life, I would probably used this guilt of you,
"What! Which one?" I asked trying to guess but I couldn't.
"hehehe… Secret~" Sui said as she flew away again.
Soon the next day come and, in that morning, my phone is loudly ringing, just as I was about to answer the call it ended, so I unlocked the phone and opened my What's App and found a message along with a picture form my mom.
"Michael, your dad just entered the coma." Under that is a picture of my dad connected to various machineries, looking thin and sick.
I sighed as I know this is going to happen since 2 years ago when my dad is diagnosed with Stage 3 Lung Cancer but looking at my dad who used to be pretty muscular to this thin mess, but in those two years I found out a lot about my dad's cheating, drug abuse, alcoholic, smoking, my mom's cheating, and a lot of bad things, well before that I already found out my dad Is cheating on her but just knew that he is so impulsve that he is about to marry her and based on what I heard he got influenced by 'shamanic' powers or… drugs when he did that, which thankfully didn't happen, well they are separated 6 years ago, perhaps this is one of the biggest reason I hated cheating so much, well except in the exam and a.s.signment of course.
Below that there is another message she just sends, noticing me online. "Michael, please prayed for your father to be recover."
I sighed again before closing my eyes and clasping my hands, after a while I opened my eyes and turned around seeing Sui silently sitting on the head board of my bed. Yeah, I learned that if I really wanted or focused I could 'detect' where Sui is and s.h.i.+eld my thoughts.
I opened my arms and she leaped toward my arms, although I know she doesn't have a physical body it felt just real, the tackling force, the warmth, the hug, I fell back into the bed and I laid there starring at the ceilings, hugging Sui who is still silent for a while before she spoke, "It's not your fault, Michael, everything is not your fault."
Hearing this I just closed my eyes and remained silent. Soon I let go of Sui and went down from the bed as I know I will have a cla.s.s soon.
Just like that 4 days pa.s.sed and there is still no news about my dad's condition but dozens of minutes after the news come, I was not in any mood anymore. I went back to the campus as normal and chatted with Sui and my friends as normal while reading novels which somehow became a minority in comparison to the two earlier activity unlike before where reading novels is the majority of my time is spend reading novels.
On the next day, I woke up and Sui morning kissed me as usual while teasing me about the morning wood that sometimes shows up and it did right now, well today there is no cla.s.s so I can wholeheartedly tease her back and endure her teasing.
Just as I was about to retort to her teasing there is a knocking on the door.
