Chereads / UNWANTED NIGHT / Chapter 6 - Longing

Chapter 6 - Longing

John Louis stood in front of the window of his room which is on the 8th floor. That handsome man was looking at the vehicles passing on the road in front of his office from above. London has changed a lot even though it was only 3 years he was abroad. And for three years, not only has London changed, John also feels that he has changed.

Three years ago he was a young man who just liked having fun, never serious about studying, and childish. He liked to go to bars to drink alcohol and only spent his parents's money. What a useless boy!

Because of his bad nature, he had to separate from his beloved girlfriend, Caroline. Caroline's mom did not like him. The woman told him to leave Caroline. John obeyed the woman's orders even though his heart got hurt. He really loved Caroline and wanted to change into a good man.

John decided to go to Germany and continued his studies in business in that country. Now he has returned to London. John's parents were very happy to see John's success and immediately gave the company to manage.

Caroline, where are you now? See I always love you. I never forget you. Maybe you thought I left you, but that's not true. I'm leaving for our love. I want to make you and your mom happy to see me now... John's mind was filled with images of Caroline.

Caroline, I promise I'll find you anywhere. I will prove to your mom that I can make you happy. I want to show to your mom who I am today. I am John Louis, CEO of a big company. I was not John like before who the naughty boy and useless!

John came out of his room. He decides to meet Caroline. He will go to Caroline's house.

John drove his car slowly. Oh, streets full of memories with Caroline. He still remembers the time when they talked and joked, then laughed together. They always spent time together. "

Do you really love me?" she asked.

"Never..." John replied with a laugh.

"What did you say? Never?" Caroline pretended to be angry because she knew that John was only teasing her.

"I mean, never stop loving you..." Then they both laughed.

"I love you too, my honey, "

"Until when?" teased John, then pinching Caroline's nose.

"Till death do us part,"

"I love you forever, until we are together in heaven."

Then they hugged tightly. And John kissed Caroline on her cheek and on her lips. Oh Caroline, do you still remember it all? Or have you forgotten it?

John really loved Caroline. But one thing that Caroline didn't like because he was a drunkard. John was aware very well of that and he had promised Caroline that he would change. But Caroline's mom told him to leave.

"If you really love Caroline, you should leave her," She told him. John was silent at that time, unable to say anything. He was naughty and a jerk but he always respects elders. That's what his parents always taught him.

"Okay, Ma'am...I'm going to leave Caroline. But can I say goodbye to her? I want to see Caroline one last time before I leave," John really wanted to meet Caroline so that there would be no misunderstandings between them.

"No need. You don't need to see Caroline again. Now go, and don't ever come here again!" The woman immediately closed the door of her house.

John could only be silent, his heart at that time felt very hurt. After that all access has closed. He couldn't contact Caroline anymore. Phone numbers, Instagram, and all contacts has blocked. John didn't know who did it, Caroline or her mom?

Caroline's mom already hated John. She didn't want her daughter to keep in touch with a jerk like John, especially if they got married. Then the only way is to separate them. If the woman told Caroline to leave John, that would be impossible because she knew very well that Caroline loved John very much.

"Caroline, you see how John really is. Look at him seducing another girl in the cafe. Here's a photo," said Caroline's mom, showing an edited photo to Caroline.

Caroline looked at this photo for a moment then burst out laughing.

"Where did you get this photo from? This is an edited photo. Caroline knows that, Mom,"

Caroline's mom ordered someone to edit the photo but Caroline was able to find out so she finally tried another way to expel John.

"Now how are you going to continue to defend that man? Now he has left you without any message. If he really loves you, he definitely won't be like that,"

At that time Caroline really didn't understand why John did like that, leaving her without any message. Caroline had tried to find his house but the answer from his parents was that John didn't want to see Caroline again. After that Caroline blocked all access. She tried to forget John.

John has arrived in front of Caroline's house. He looked at the house, the house full of memories. Memories with Caroline...

John was still in his car. There was great doubt filling his mind. Would Caroline's mom accept his arrival, or would she chase him away like a beggar?

Why was he suddenly feeling so afraid? Even though he is now a CEO, the leader of a big company...

Finally John decided to meet Caroline's mom, and of course he also really wanted to meet Caroline. This longing is very painful and he can't waiting so long to meet her soon. Whatever Caroline's mom will says, he will accept as long as he can meet Caroline. The three years of separation were the most difficult for John...

John parked his car on the side of the road, then he walked slowly toward Caroline's yard. It was unlocked and slightly open. Maybe Caroline or her mom just left the house.

John was still waiting at the gate when a woman walked towards him. That woman is Caroline's mom. The woman was shocked. She seemed to have forgotten about John, but after a while she remembered him.

"You? John?"

"Yes ma'am. I'm John," John tried to be as polite as possible.

"You want to meet Caroline? That's impossible!" The woman's attitude was still same as three years ago. She didn't seem to want to accept John.

John was silent, he intended to explain about himself at that time. About his work and life, but Caroline's mom did not give John to explain.

The woman rushed into the yard and locked the gate. Then she entered the house without caring about John who was still standing at the front gate. Sad and heartbroken...

John left the Caroline house with a broken heart. He doesn't understand why Caroline's mom still hates him? She didn't even give him a chance to speak.

John drove his car at high speed. Caroline, I've tried to see you but I'm such a worthless person in front of your mom...

John heads to a bar. He walked over to a table and ordered a beer from the waiter. Immediately he drank. He drank three glasses of beer till his eyes were bloodshot and his face was starting to harden. Is he going crazy again?

A man approached the waiter and his hand pointed at John who was continuing to drink beer. The waiter explained something to the man. Then the man laughed evilly.

A woman dressed sexy walked up to John. The smell of perfume was very strong from the woman's body.

"Hello dear, can I accompany you? You come alone, right?" The woman immediately massaged John's shoulder gently.

John, who was frustrated and drank too much alcohol, did not refuse the woman's arrival. He was silent as she touched him, touch his neck and face. Then hugged him...
