My Last Wedding Chance
Chapter 44 Regret
"OK, wait. Taylor will pick you” Liam replied casually.
“Thanks…..Liam” Harumi replied very carefully ending the conversation.
No questions were raised from Liam's lips about Harumi's sudden request. He only answered briefly and seemed to already know the situation Harumi was facing right now.
Before heading to the bedroom, Harumi tried to sit in the guest chair for a moment. His gaze was blank, he inhaled oxygen around clearing his mind, then slowly closing both of his eyes.
His mind tried to re-imagine all the events he had been going through, recalling fond memories with Anton before they were married, remembering the happiness of the entire family he loved on that Sacred Day they celebrated together and also the Night Genesis.
Now it has to end like this, it's painful and Harumi's chest is getting claustrophobic.
The tears flowed back down Harumi's cheeks, never to cross the slightest thought of feeling this pain.
Harumi sobbed at every corner of their once loving, joking, affectionate home.
Often they used to have breakfast together, spend the weekend cooking together, laughing loosely, then his eyeballs moved to see their wedding photos displayed on the nightstand. A photo that witnesses how happy they used to love each other.
Harumi increasingly drained the tears, every circle that flowed on her cheeks there was the deepest sadness that she had long stored very tightly.
“But in the end I could not force it, could I ask for our story forever, never crossed my mind if my day without you, all the ways I have tried to keep our love, I have tried to keep our love, I always leave it in my prayers, but I am unable to fight Ego and your ambition” in his mind.
Harumi began to strengthen her body and her determination, standing up from sitting forced her legs to step even though it felt very heavy. Walk towards the bedroom, to immediately pack some clothes and necessities.
On his way to the room, he momentarily stared at the closed door to Anton's study, remembering what he had found in the desk drawer. In his mind he no longer cared much about all the documents, whatever it was he did not want to hurt himself anymore by adding weight on his shoulders for now.
***
In his Workspace, Anton just kept staring at the screen of his laptop that lit from there.
The view was blank, with several stationery supplies, paper and all the important documents strewn across the floor. Several glass glasses, broken scattered in the corners of the room.
Work tables that are usually always neat, are now very inversely proportional. All the knickknacks in his study fell, the beautiful paintings that decorated the walls hanging unbalanced almost fell to the floor.
Anton was so messy, he looked like an oxygen-deprived lung, it was hard to breathe that there was no desire to live.
Previously Anton rampaged alone to almost destroy his entire workspace In the Office. He swept away everything laid out on the desk with his hands until it all fell on the floor.
He kept clenching his hands tightly, a deep sense of regret and unforgivable guilt.
He realized that he had stabbed Harumi with a very painful speech.
Her lips could no longer even say a single word of apology to Harumi. Because it was too deep in the pain he incised to Harumi.
Daniel who was supposed to come help solve the Client problem, Anton postponed their meeting that night.
Anton chooses to stay silent in the Office and decides to calm down in order to solve their problems slowly.
The fact is Anton still loves Harumi very much, but his ego and ambition overcomes that feeling. Bringing their marriage to a deep abyss.
***
The sound of the car stopping right in front of Harumi and Anton's house, Taylor has arrived to pick up Harumi.
The doorbell rang, Harumi opened the door immediately.
Taylor was standing aloud, fixed in a neat suit and his sunglasses.
He was still standing at the door waiting for Harumi to get ready.
"Taylor, sorry to bother you these nights" Harumi said, dragging a medium-sized blue suitcase with a small mustard-colored backpack on her shoulder.
Harumi had not changed her clothes all day.
Taylor immediately grabbed Harumi's suitcase immediately brought into the car.
Whether or not this was the right decision for them, that was all Harumi thought about now. Splitting up temporarily to calm his mind, at least this was better than he had to end his life.
Liam's mansion just flashed through Harumi's mind as a temporary place for her to stay in order to part with Anton for a while.
It is impossible for Harumi to spend the night at his parents' house, it will further hurt his parents if they know his condition so far.
At least Liam is someone else, as he won't question his problems too deeply about Harumi's personal life.
After locking the door, Harumi stared sadly around their house from outside. His eyes began to glaze back, but he immediately wiped his face. Harumi must be strong, must be able to defend against this state of affairs.
Then he rushed to the car and sat in the passenger seat in the back.
He took a deep breath, his heart was indeed sick but it would no longer be weak.
Before Taylor picks up, Harumi still takes the time to clean up the broken glass that fell off earlier, and cooks a simple dinner for Anton.
Yeap, Harumi did it all in the middle of her being sad. At least he still did his duty as a wife, even though only a simple dinner but he made it in earnest.
She placed her husband's dinner on the table neatly, even though Anton had eaten at the Restaurant before. But Harumi does it anyway considering Anton will come home tired and hungry from the Office.
This small attention he did as a form of affection to Anton, although the affection was not as big as before. But Harumi keeps trying to be a good wife for her.
The car drove quickly across the highway, it was almost late at night but the other cars still passed a lot.
Harumi leaned back, staring out the window. His eyes were very tired and puffy after crying earlier.
"Hallo" Taylor answered an incoming call on her phone.
"Okay sir" Taylor said, ending the conversation.
Harumi could hear clearly from the back seat, it was definitely an incoming call from her superior, Liam.
"What is Liam ?" asked Harumi to pull her body to ask Taylor who was focused on driving.
"Yes Miss" Taylor replied briefly
"What did he say ?" harumi's reply was curious
Taylor's face was flat, silent and not answering.
"Ehmm, you must have been told by him not to let me know"
