Love Worth Fighting For

65 Miss Understanding

“Jason!!!”

Elena screamed loudly when she saw the owner of the voice who was currently standing right behind her carrying a white box.

Hearing Elena call her name loudly as usual made Jason’s smile wider, slowly the man who was still wearing his work uniform walked over to Elena.

“For you,” he said quietly.

Elena didn’t immediately accept the box that Jason held out to her, she took her hands behind her back instead. One of the habits that Elena always did when refusing Jason’s gifts.

Jason chuckled amused at Elena’s unchanged behavior. “This is your favorite cake, Elena.”

“Cakes?”

Jason nodded slowly. “Yeah, I bought it near my dorm. Just when I was going home I remembered you when I saw this cake, that’s why I bought it.”

“You want to make me fat by eating cake tonight?”

.....

The laugh that Jason had been holding in finally let go, the last words Elena spoke made him unable to contain himself.

“Jason!!”

“Ok..ok.. I’m sorry, I let loose.”

Elena pursed her lips. “You’re annoying, just coming home already pissed me off.”

Jason smiled. “Sorry Elena, I really can’t help myself. Not seeing you for almost a month is making me so out of control.”

Elena snorted in annoyance. “You bastard, quickly give me the cake. I happen to be hungry.”

“Hungry, aren’t you afraid of getting fat?”

“Jason!!!!”

Jason laughed again when he heard Elena’s words, but because he didn’t want to make Elena even more angry and annoyed, Jason finally ended his laughter. Without asking permission first, Jason suddenly grabbed Elena’s hand and pulled her towards Elena’s door.

“After eating don’t forget to brush your teeth so your teeth don’t hurt,” Jason said softly with a smile.

“You don’t want to go in first?”

Jason shook his head. “It’s getting late, you also just got home, need rest. We can meet again tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow morning I have to leave very early, Jason. My work is piling up and I won’t be able to...”

“Tomorrow morning I will pick you up and drive you to the office.” Jason interrupted Elena’s words quickly. “You want me to take you?”

Elena’s eyes widened. “Are you serious about taking me? Aren’t you busy?”

“Of course I would, and if it were for you I wouldn’t be busy, Elena,” Jason answered quietly, giving Elena an answer that again silenced Elena.

“But...”

“Come in, it’s getting late. You need to rest, I’m going home too.” Jason cut Elena’s words back gently. “Tomorrow morning I’ll pick you up, after that we’ll talk again.”

Elena nodded slowly.

“Have a good rest, Elena. Sweet dreams, you’re home, huh.”

“Sweet dreams to you too, Jason.”

Jason smiled, seconds after he immediately turned around and walked away from Elena to his own house which was three blocks away from Elena’s. After Jason was out of sight, Elena then went into her house with the cake that Jason gave her. All of Elena’s tiredness disappeared after talking to Jason. With lighter steps Elena went up to her room on the second floor.

Because she already felt uncomfortable with her body that was wet with sweat, Elena then immediately went to the bathroom to freshen up first before eating the cake that Jason gave her which she had already taken some before putting it in the refrigerator.

While Elena was taking a shower, her cell phone which was next to a small plate of cake on the table suddenly rang. On the screen, the name ‘Night King’ appears, the name Elena made for Christian. After leaving dozens of dizzying jobs, Christian suddenly calls Elena again in the middle of the night. Looks like Christian realizes that he’s been causing a lot of trouble at work.

***

“Fuck... how dare she not pick up my phone,” Christian grumbles emotionally after calling Elena more than three times.

All of Christian’s sleepiness vanished when he saw the hundreds of important messages that entered his second cell phone, a cell phone that had only been activated five minutes ago. Dozens of important projects that should have been completed this week are now abandoned because Elena did not give them access to continue the projects that were already underway. Christian’s anger immediately came when he read a report from Siena, in which Siena said that she and the GA division had to accept anger from suppliers because of late payments. In his entire life leading the Clarke Enterprise, Christian has never been in arrears in payment, because at this time Christian is overcome by emotions.

After Elena’s fourth call was ignored again, without a second thought Christian immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out of his room in a hurry.

“Not sleeping...”

“Get everything ready, Kainer. We’re going back to Luxembourg right now.” Christian cuts Jack off by immediately ordering Kainer to prepare for their flight to Luxembourg.

Anne, who still hadn’t let go of Suri’s arms, immediately lifted her head from the sofa. “Luxembourg, is there a problem?”

“Big problem, Mom. That’s why I have to get back soon.” Christian replies quickly. “It’s only been five days since she’s made such a big mess.”

“Brother won’t you stay?” asked Suri slowly.

Christian took a deep breath, his chest immediately cold like ice water when he heard Suri’s question. “I have important business that you have to take care of at the office, Suri. Later when all the office matters are finished, I will return to Geneva, ok.”

Suri shook her head quickly. “No, I want you to stay at home. We just met again, brother. I still miss you.”

Christian lowers his head, he is completely confused by Suri.

“I want to spend the night with all of you on my first day back in Geneva, I want to sleep in the same bed with Mommy, Daddy and brother like before,” added Suri again.

“Yes Christ, especially since you haven’t been home for years. I think Mommy’s birthday this time will be more perfect if Mommy can sleep while hugging Mommy’s two children.” Without removing her arms from Suri’s waist, Anne joined in the conversation.

Christian shook his head slowly, the words of two women who were so important in his life really made Christian unable to continue his intention to return to Luxembourg.

Jack, who realized that Christian was currently in a dilemma, then put his hand on his proud son’s shoulder gently. “Just for tonight, Christ. This is a historic day for our family.”

Christian lifts his head to look at his father’s face sharply. “Really? Wouldn’t today be complete without Asher, would it?”

“Christ...”

“I’m tired Mom, I think I will go back to my room again now. For tonight I will stay here, for Mommy and Suri. Tomorrow morning I will return to Luxembourg,” Christian said, curtly cutting Anne’s words. “You rest too, Kainer. We’ll be right back tomorrow morning.”

Kainer nodded quickly. “Yes sir, I understand.”

Without saying goodnight, Christian then goes back upstairs to his room, leaving everyone on the first floor. Jack looks very sad to hear Christian’s words, it hurts so much to be ignored by his own son. Realizing that Jack was sad, Anne then quickly got up from the sofa and immediately gave him a hug.

“Slowly, Christian will be back to how he used to be. Give him time to heal all his disappointments, Jack,” whispered Anne quietly.

Jack nodded slowly. “I’m sorry, Anne. If I could turn back time I definitely would...”

“Shhh... don’t talk about it now, there’s Suri in our midst. Suri shouldn’t know about the dispute between her two brothers,” said Anne, quickly stopping Jack who wanted to discuss the beginning of his cold war with Christian.

Luckily, Anne immediately stopped Jack, because now Suri was standing near them. Suri looks so curious now.

“Let’s sleep, shall we.” Anne immediately spoke quickly before Suri who was about to open her lips. “Mommy is tired, Mommy wants to hug you dear.”

Suri chuckled. “I also want to sleep beside Mommy.”

“Come on, let’s go to the room,” said Anne excitedly as she grabbed Jack’s hand so he wouldn’t keep thinking about Christian’s anger that hasn’t subsided even though three years have passed.

Suri, who was so happy to be in the midst of her family again, walked excitedly to the second floor. Returning to gathering with the people who love her so much, Suri forgot to ask about what happened to Christian and Asher to her parents, all her curiosity was lost and covered by the happiness that was overflowing inside her at this time.

Brak..

Christian hits his desk with emotion after realizing Elena’s cell phone number is not active, reading a third of the emails that come into his cell phone makes Christian really angry and wants to vent all his annoyance on Elena at this time.

“Stupid, why can’t you be relied on at all, Elena. I thought with your high academic grades you could be relied on,” Christian growls emotionally. “I think I’ve misjudged you, Elena. You’re just like those people, incompetent at work.”

Holding back his turbulent emotions, Christian then opens his laptop and gets to work, he contacts everyone who emails him. Having above-average intelligence allows Christian to find a way out of the problems he is currently facing. The real problem arose from his own fault and now Christian is blaming Elena for working so hard this past week.

***

In her simple room at this time Elena was sleeping a little restlessly, the first day of the month made her unable to sleep well. She didn’t know that at this time the boss, who she had been trying to help with all her work for the past week, was cursing sentences and swearing at her because she was considered unable to work. Poor Elena.
