Chapter 59: Future Husband
What happened next seed blurry to . I didn’t really rember what had happened to the ghost that had been bothering . Next thing I knew, I was in Mr. Sanjaya’s office, drinking a cup of tea.
“Are you okay?” He asked in worried tone. “I’m sorry, I didn’t an to scare you like that.”
When I lifted up my face, I saw ‘guilty’ and ‘concerned’ pasted on his handso face. A glass of black coffee was in his hands and he was leaning towards from his seat that was situated not far beside .
“I’m fine.” I told him softly.
I watched as smile found its way to his sexy lips...
Oh God, I really need to stop. Why do I see him that way?
It was not the first ti I saw him, but it was my first ti talking to him. He was a lecturer for Computer Engineering, so he had never taught my class. Yet, there I was, talking to him like he was my academic advisor.
.....
“What’s your na?” He asked. His smile was so warm I couldn’t help but feel enchanted by it.
“Jane. Jane Harris, from Civil Engineering.” I introduced myself.
A surprised look was seen on his face. I guessed he had heard about , right? After all, there was no one in campus, especially engineering faculty, that didn’t know about Jane who got dump by Rizal Ali.
“You’re Jane Harris?” I nodded at his question. “I’ve been dying to et you, actually.” The smile on his face grew brighter and wider. “I’ve heard about you from your father, but I haven’t had ti to actually look for you even though we are in the sa building. My bad, please, forgive .”
Okay, that was a surprise! And here I thought he would recognize for being Senior Rizal’s pitiful ex.
Fortunately I didn’t say that out loud.
But, wait! Did he just say he knew my father?
“I’m sorry, Sir, do you know my father?”
“Yes, of course. We have t several tis before. Your father and my father are old friends. So I t him for a couple of tis before. I think I also t you long ti ago.” He was squinting his eyes as he tried to rember his eting with .
It must be around twelve to sixteen years ago, when I was around one or two years old. At most, I would be 5 years old because I had no recollection of eting him.
His chuckle made realized that I was deep in my thought. As I regained my senses, I looked at him again.
“Unfortunately, the smiling sunshine I t long ago is too quiet now.” He said while looking at with his deep eyes. I could feel my cheeks reddened at his casual comnt.
What ‘smiling sunshine’? This man is seriously a flirt.
“I still have that picture of you with , when you were four years old.” He said again as he started to rummage his wallet.
I coughed lightly to clear my throat. “Why would you have my picture with you?” And he is carrying it around in his wallet, too! Isn’t it strange?
He laughed. “Your father never ntioned about to you, right?”
Yeah, he never did. “Yes.”
“That’s to be expected. After all, you haven’t reached the agreeable age to finalize the agreent.” He said casually. “Ah, here you are. Look at my smiling sunshine!”
He handed over a piece of old photo. Did he really have my picture with him? As my eyes took a careful look on the picture, I could feel them widened as I recognized the person in the picture.
There’s no mistake, it was ! And, I was not alone in it, too. There was a boy beside , holding onto my hand. There was a warm and gentle smile on his face as he was looking at the young in the picture. But, I didn’t recognize the boy.
Who is he?
“See? I didn’t lie, did I? I really have your picture with .” He grinned.
“Why do you have my picture, Sir?” I asked slowly as I was still feeling dumbfounded.
“Why? Because you’re my fiancee, of course. I only have this picture of us together and I’ve been cherishing it so much. Never thought I would finally et the real you here, after you’ve grown up beautifully.” The look in his eyes turned even more gentle and there was a hint of excitent in it.
But, it was not the reason my eyes widened so much right now I felt like I was acting like a fool.
Fiancee? Then, it ans... he is my future husband?!
What the hell?! Dad has never ntioned about it before!
And oh yeah, you’re beyond help, Jane! How could you not notice that the one in the picture is him? Why else would he bring that picture around with him? Do you think he would bring a picture of a young boy with him around if it’s not him?
As I lost myself in a series of cursing my own foolishness and the turn of events that was happening in front of , I failed to notice a pair of eyes was watching us the entire ti.
Who could bla , though? Who would be in right mind after a hunk just confessed that he was her future husband?
Obviously not !
