"Yeah sure wassup?" I said feeling slightly concerned.
"So….. I spoke to fish..... And she got me the details on where Emilia's Ceremony will be held...." he explained hesitantly..... "But she told me to tell you not to go....." He warned.
"... Oh is it bad?...." I Questioned.
"Well she said their family doesn't like you at all..." He answered.
"Is there a reason why?.... the only time I met them ever was at college...." I asked.
"No.... idea but she said they really aren't fond of you..." He replied.
'What on earth did I do?...' I began frowning, "I really wanted to see her one last time...." I said quietly to myself.
"I know bro.... I know...." he replied sounding concerned and sympathetic.
Walking to his deck he pulled out an envelope handing it to me, "look if you really need to go.... I've enclosed all the details you need." He explained.
"Thanks....." I replied.
"Chin up.... let's get some lunch alright?" He said.
"Sure" I replied still feeling down.
"Emma reschedule all my meetings I'll be busy all after noon." He explained to her upon exiting the office.
"Yes sir" she replied and began getting on the phone.
"Where to Bro?" He asked.
"No idea...." I replied making my way to the elevator.
"Hmmm..... Burgers?" He suggested
"You didn't need to book off the whole afternoon bro." I said entering the elevator.
"I Know... but it's been ages since we chilled out and talked." He said as we began our decent.
"How's the business going?" I asked.
"It's alright.... who would have thought being a successful businessman also requires so much time.... I thought the richer I got the less work I have to do...." He joked.
Arriving at the ground floor we made our way to his parked car. "OHHH Sorry I've been so busy..... But how was your date with Jade?" He asked.
"It went well..... Food, drinks, movie and talking, was fun." I answered him entering the car.
"Did.... you….. you know...?" He asked curiously.
"Ehhhhh?...." I replied slightly confused.
"You.... know... Get jiggy with it?" He asked.
"No..... dude it was the first date...." I answered him.
"Eyyy I heard some girls still do it first date the young colleagues that work for me talk about it all the time." He replied, starting to drive... "So..... Like..... The only girl you've ever been with was with her?.." He asked.
"If you mean Emilia..... And 3rd base then yeah....." I answered him
"Well I must either commend you for your..... Dedication... or call you mad for being a 30 year old virgin...." He joked.
"Ahh it's fine to me I don't really care tbh...." I replied
"Hmmm..... So burger king?" He asked.
"Sounds good to me... bad for my diet though." I laughed.
"I know right why does all the good tasting stuff have to be so unhealthy?..." He said.
"I know right...." I replied.
Entering the burger king, we ordered a largest meal they had, "Omg.... no matter how much fancy shit I need to eat with meeting with potential clients and stuff.... nothing beats this unhealthy stuff..." He said stuffing himself.
I laughed... "Yeah I know....." I said also stuffing myself.
"By the way...Kan is angry at you." I informed him in passing.
"WTF?!!! WHAT DID I DO?!" He replied in a panic.
"Apparently because you didn't tell her about me going to the police station." I answered him.
"You gotta be joking me... How the hell did she know?" He replied.
"I know right... bloody insane, I swear she has us bugged or something." I said.
"So... dude how about you?... Met anyone yet?" I asked curiously.
"I wish but I really don't have time, I spend most the working day in the office or meetings, then after work I need to look after Tan, Deep and Mum." He answered.
"Even more of a reason to find someone...." I joked.
"Besides you're loaded and super successful... should be a sea of girls on the horizon" I laughed.
"There are some, but I dunno why I don't feel in the mood to meet them, I just want to go home and be with family...." He answered.
"Hmmmm I get it....." I replied, "Still not over your ex?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah....." He replied sounding down.
"Don't worry, time will fix's everything bro.... look at me and Emilia.... took my over 10 years to get over her, legit over a 1/3rd of my life with spent in love with her." I replied.
"Yeah...." He replied deep in thought.
"That and keeping myself busy so I don't think about her." I added.
"If you have the chance would you go back and fix your mistake with her?..." He asked.
"I dunno if this means I'm not truly over her... but in a HEART BEAT..... Being with her was like being on cloud nine... everything felt right....." I answered him.
"I wish I was lucky as you...." He replied.
"You call it lucky?... I call it a curse..." I joked "... that why I want to see her so much one last time.... I want to tell her everything I wasn't able to..... Thank her for making me who I am today... I know it will fall on deaf ears... but maybe it will fill a hole in my heart....." I added.
"You really want to go that badly huh?..." He asked.
"Yeah... she was my biggest regret..." I frowned.
"Yeah... I kinda stopped being friends with her as well when you guys broke up...." He replied.
"So what you gonna do after this?..." I asked changing the subject refusing to talk about her as much as possible.
"Hmmm prob chill out with Tan and watch a family movie or something?..." he replied.
"She's still annoying as hell?" I joked.
"Yeah... the worst... but she's still the best thing that ever happened to me." He answered, "you should visit more often mum and Tan are always asking when you're gonna pop by next." He added.
"Yah... I know just been busy streaming and writing...." I replied.
"Yeah... I know...." He replied.
"AHHHH FKK...." I said.
"What what?!" He quickly asked looking worried.
"I left my car at your company carpark again..." I replied.
"Ohh no problems I'll get Emma to return it for you..." He said.
"Yeah... but like.... that's now what she's meant to be doing.... and plus I feel super bad...." I replied.
"It will be fine, I'll give her the day off tomorrow as well..... So she can do whatever." He replied
"By the way ... why do you have an assistant?... you're pretty organized and never forget things..." I asked.
"Ohhh..... She's the daughter to a very poor family I met back in India one time.....so I wanted to help them out, they always talked about how she was the first to go University and how they saved up all their money for her to study in England and how proud they are of her. So the weirdo I am decided to track her down and offer her a well-paid job." He answered.
"You're a good person bro...." I replied.
"You tell that to my ex." He joked.
"I'll give you a lift back to your place." he offered, as we packed up the used packaging and drink carton to put into the bin.
"Look at us.... rich as hell, but still chilling at a local Burger King." I laughed.
"I know right....." He agreed laughing.
We thanked the lady and the counter and waving good bye leaving the place and giving me a lift home. "We should chill out more often... dude remember back in college we would always hand out together." He reminisced.
"Yeah but we were kids back then..... Anyways laters dude" I laughed.
"Later." He said waving goodbye and driving off.
'..... Should I go see her... even though, her family and husband all hate me....' I pondered as I arrived home.
Arriving home I went to work, launching my stream and began talking and playing with fans momentarily distracting me from my dilemma.
