Prince Hotel
Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line

But it doesn't stop the pain

"a.what-" Lidya became nervous instantly after hearing Darren's words.

Darren smiled "I'm sure you're already aware of my feelings for you, Lidya. But know.I liked you when you were in Boston and even when you were pregnant.I don't care what your status is, Lidya" Darren said seriously, she becomes more and more convinced of her feelings when she accidentally finds out that Lidya is still single from Elena.

Lidya looked at Darren no less seriously "Darren.thank you for liking me. But, rest assured.I'm not the right match for you"

"At least consider it first, Lidya.I will wait for you" Darren said.

"Darren-"

"ah...It is cold..Are you not inviting me into your house?" cut Darren.

Louis peeked out of the window looking at Lidya and Darren from inside the house while holding the newly awakened Ayles and looking for her mother.

'*who is that man*?'

Ayles, who noticed her mother's figure from the window, reflexively called her mother "mamiiiiiii~".

Louis was forced to carry Ayles out to meet his mother.

"good morning, dear.." said Lidya while holding Ayles from his uncle's arms.

Louis looked at Lidya while glancing at Darren, Lidya chuckled.he understood Louis's point of view "So..Louis.Know this is my friend, Darren.and Darren this is my younger brother, Louis" said Lidya while glancing at the two.

Darren smiled kindly, while extending his right hand to Louis "Halo.it's a pleasure to meet you, Louis"

Louis replied to Darren's hand "happy to meet you too, Darren. Lidya, why don't you let our guests into the house?"

"ah.you're right Louis.pardon me. Cold weather like this, will certainly be complete with a glass of hot coffee and freshly cooked warm bread." said Lidya.

"just imagining it makes me drool, Lidya." said Darren.

"so what are you waiting for. immediately warm your body, Darren" said Louis.

"didn't I tell you? he's my friend." replied Lidya while whispering as well.

"really? But there seems to be a heart-sign from his eyes when he looks at you"

Lidya held Louis so hard that she grimaced in pain. Darren looked at Louis in confusion "you're okay, Louis?" ask Darren.

Louis tried to smile "te.naturally, Darren.." he said as he looked at Lidya who looks stupid.

New York, though,

Louis walked into Elena's room, Elena slightly shuddering as Luckas walked into her room. Luckas aura felt so different from before.

"How are you, Luckas?" elena asked as she told her secretary to make two cups of warm tea for her and Luckas.

"Since Lidya's departure, maybe my news will never be good again, Elena" Luckas replied coldly.

Elena looked at Luckas and felt a little pity for Luckas who so lost Lidya, 'okay..Luckas looks so bad' Elena murmured in her heart.

"what did you call me here?" ask Luckas.

"ah.no.I only get information from my employees if you come here almost every day"

Luckas's face turned grim again "forgive me if my presence bothers you.but, do not know why I feel someday Lidya will return here" said Luckas.

Secretary Elena knocked on the door and delivered two cups of warm tea.

"drink, Luckas.." said Elena.

"thank you.." said Luckas shortly without touching the tea.

"can I ask you something, Luckas?"

"please"

"Do you mind if you tell me what happened between you and Lidya?"

Luckas fell silent and occasionally sighed "I admit I was wrong, Elena and I tried to fix everything. I also know Lidya is disappointed in me, but I don't want to lose her. And even if he wanted me dead to forgive me, I wouldn't mind!" hatch Luckas.

Elena was astonished, she stood up to her desk and wrote something down on scrap paper and thrust it at Luckas afterwards.

Luckas looked at the paper confusedly "what is this?"

"address"

"whose address?"

Elena smiled awkwardly "I'm sorry, Luckas. Lidya doesn't quit her job, she only takes time off to calm herself down and celebrate Christmas with her family in Lexington"

Luckas looked at Elena with a piercing "you-" look"

"don't blame me, Luckas. Lidya herself also asked me to keep her whereabouts to you, and about my lies about her quitting her job.it was just a stupid idea from Louis who wanted to repay you"

"and why have you changed your mind?"

"i was touched when I saw your persistence, Luckas. And I couldn't bear to keep this a secret much longer - hence-" Elena pointed to the scrapbook paper in Luckas's hand "I gave you that gift.."

Luckas stared at the scrap paper he had in his hand.

"go,Luckas. This time, never let go of her again. I'm certain..Lidya must be waiting for you too." said Elena.
