Seeing Luna run away, he suddenly felt something weird inside his heart again. He saw Luna’s tears again and heard her farewell. It is kind of painful to him.
Why do I feel the pain in my heart for the ninth time? Who are you and what are you to me, Luna? He thought with confusion on his head.
When he came back to where Liza is waiting, Liza had noticed that he was dumbfounded.
“Shawn, are you okay?” Liza ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
“Huh? Uhm, yeah. No need to worry about me. I’m fine. Thanks for asking” he smiled when Liza hugged her.
He suddenly felt like his decision was right. Choosing the person, he loves and that is Liza. Only Liza.
But why does he heartache when Luna slapped him? Is his decision being really right? Or in the other sense, is it really Liza he loves?
Luna ran outside of the airport crying while not too far away, a man was inside a black Ferrari wearing an expensive black suit and sunglasses looking at her with confusion. Despite the crowd area and lots of people entering and leaving the airport, he still noticed Luna because she was the only person running while crying at the crowd.
It was Maximus.
Why does every time I’m seeing her, she is always crying? Can I at least see her smiling just once? Maximus thought.
Maximus went to the airport to send Shawn off and say his farewell to him. It will take several years before Shawn comes back from Europe. A coincidence that he would see Luna too, but it’s bad timing though.
Didn’t she promise to me that she will never see Shawn? Did she forget about that? Besides, what is she doing here? Maximus remembered the incident at the parking lot before. He saw Shawn with her woman and Luna arguing. He cannot bear watching the woman who helped him before, so he went out and interfered.
He sighed and took his phone out of his pocket. He immediately called Shawn’s number. He thought that he should do something. After a few seconds, Shawn responded.
“Are you still inside?” Maximus asked while still looking at Luna.
“Yeah, I am walking inside already. Are you here?” Shawn was pulling his luggage. He stopped when he answered the call from him.
“Yes. But since you’re already there, then I should leave now” Maximus said.
Why did Maximus arrive late? At least I could say goodbye to him in person. Shawn thought.
Without knowing, Maximus was already at the airport before he arrived. However, he didn’t show himself to Shawn before leaving the airport just to make sure that Shawn arrived safely.
“Maximus, can I ask you something?” Shawn asked his friend after he remembered that Maximus and Luna had a connection.
“Yeah sure. Just tell me.” Maximus had already had an idea on his mind about the question Shawn would ask him and it’s right.
“Did you know anything about Luna? She kept saying that I am his lover. Weirdly, I don’t remember a lady named Luna or any connection between her” Shawn asked and it took Maximus a couple of seconds to answer.
Maximus smiled. He was right. His friend would definitely ask about Luna because of the interruption he made at their commotion before at the parking lot. He didn’t even greet Shawn before and after helping Luna.
He then answered Shawn’s question.
“Why do you want to know?” Maximus asked.
Maximus knew everything about Luna because he made an investigation before. Even her relationship and connection with Shawn, he knew about it, too.
“N-nothing. Never mind then.” Shawn didn’t really want to explain everything to Maximus because Maximus doesn’t like to hear long explanations or stories.
“But let me tell you this. What if I say yes, I know her? Are you going after her?” Shawn noticed Maximus’s voice became cold and serious.
Maximus’s testing his friend. Maximus already knew that Shawn remembered some memories about Luna based on what he noticed in his actions towards Luna when Luna turned around and walked away. Maximus saw a hint of sadness in his friend’s eyes but Shawn himself didn’t notice it.
Shawn did not answer for a second. He was trying to think about what he should do, but after thinking for some time, he then realized that he didn’t even want to see Luna and there were no reasons to run after her.
Who will chase her, him? He didn’t even know her yet for sure. Shawn thought.
“What are you talking about? No, of course not. I have a girlfriend already and that’s Liza. Even if that’s true, we will never be together again because I don’t feel any love for her. I don’t even want to see her or hear her name and besides… I am going to marry Liza after I become a doctor. By the way, Liza had decided to invite her to our wedding, and you are going to be my best man”
Shawn reassured him.
“Is that so? Anyway, I think I am going to get married first before you” Maximus said teasingly. He was not happy about Shawn’s answer. Luna doesn’t deserve to feel or hear these kinds of treatment from him.
So, Maximus was planning to get married first, huh? It’s not even a race whether who would get married first. Shawn thought.
Shawn remembered that Maximus was still looking for a bride for almost a year. He needs to get married before he can fully obtain and control the company and assets of his family. It was the only wish of his parents, but Maximus still couldn’t find the right one.
“Wait, don’t tell me you already found a woman you want to marry? Introduced me to her soon” Shawn asked in a surprised tone.
“Sure, I am currently eyeing her right now. And you already know her by the way. I thought that I should leave her but after she got dumped, I decided to ask for her hand” Shawn didn’t understand what Maximus said but he was sure that Maximus was talking about someone he knew.
Woah. How fast. And what is he talking about? Shawn thought with confusion.
“Oh, congrats and Good luck, I have to turn off my phone now. Let’s talk soon. Bye!” Shawn was not so sure if he should be happy or not for his friend because he finally found his bride, and it was Luna.
“Sure, take care bro.”
