Nina woke up with a terrible headache. She spent the morning sleeping cause she stayed up all night trying to figure things out. Nina tends to over think most of the time and whenever she is hurt emotionally,her physical abilities also depletes.
She tried talking to her father but he never said anything. All he did was murmur an apology or say it wasn't something she should worry about. It was hard for Nina not to worry cause she wasn't used to a life without seeing her mother, without troubling her parents, without seeing both of them tease each other infront of her. Though it was gross to see that ,she still found it endearing. Cause who wouldn't want to see their parents happy.
Whilst eating at the dinning table with her father, Mr Zhang's phone rang causing her to come out from her trance.
Nina couldn't get much cause all she was hearing was a one sided conversation till he was done.
"Get ready. We're heading somewhere"
He got up just like that ,not even giving Nina a chance to ask exactly where they were going. And suddenly Nina didn't feel like eating anymore.
**********
Nina though reluctantly still got dressed into a pretty purple suit. Casual yet elegant. The driver drove them to the high court,which of course got Nina puzzled. What on Earth would they be doing at a court ? But not long Nina's question was answered when she spotted her mother right after they entered the reception.
Nina run to her mother like an 8 year old and leaped with joy once she managed to catch her attention and dived into a hug which of course was returned by her mother.
Both could stay like that , embracing each other for what felt like it could be the last they could do that. As for Nina,she didn't want to let go but eventually she was pulled from the embrace and once more she felt coldness envelope her heart. In an instant she began missing her mother's radiating warmth.
Nina looked back from her father who didn't even once think of looking at her mother. All Nina's mother did was stare and sigh at her arrogant husband.
Nina could feel the intense air between them but refused to say anything regarding the issue but soon enough the pressure was interrupted by a guard who offered to take them to the court room.
When they arrived in the court room,the jugde was patiently waiting for their arrival. Nina got really confused as she scanned her parents blank expression. Let's just hope it's not what she's thinking.
Later, a man came in and introduced himself as a lawyer - Mr mackan Lu. At his introduction, Nina's heart started beating fast and she kept telling herself that it's not what it seems.
Mr Lu and everyone else sat on the chairs and he looked at Nina's parents sadly.
"Are you guys ready?"
Mr and Mrs Zhang nodded.
"This is a really big decision. You are free to stop this. I suggest you don't go through with this - "
"It's fine Mr Lu"
Mr Lu kept quiet and sighed disappointedly at Mr Zhang's response.
He opened his brief case and took out some papers.
" Here are the divorce papers"
**********
"The most famous couple, prime minister Sherm Zhang and his wife , doctor Lily Zhang were officially divorced yesterday.
None of them is able or willing to tell the public the reason behind their divorce. Their daughter, Nina Zhang has not been on public appearance - "
Before the news lady could even finish her sentence, Nina switched the TV off,tired and restless of hearing such things.
***********
A month had passed and Nina hadn't gone to school or even came out of her room. The maids tried knocking but she never answered anything. She even refused to eat but only did so once a day. She concealed herself from the world and never talked to anyone.
All felt like everyday till one day, Nina was visited by an in expecting person. The bell rang and was answered by a maid. Soon the maid lead the visitor to Nina's room.
She knocked on Nina's room ,but as always,she didn't answer.
"Let me try"
With that said the visitor knocked on the door and said, "Nina it's me "
Nina,who was staring at the ceiling while lying on her bed, recognized that voice. Though a big part of her told her that she wasn't hearing properly. 'He's been gone for along time,I must have been here for a while I'm hearing things'.
Just then he spoke again and this time, Nina got up to check other than tormenting her mind. She slowly opened the door and looked at the devilishly handsome young man by the name of Li Wei Guang. Nina blinked a couple of times just to make sure that she was seeing properly. Her heart did a flip as she stared intensely at the boy in front of her who was cheekily smiling at her as if he never left and abruptly decided to surprise his friend. Suddenly, Nina got extremely angry.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Come on little Rosy, it's not fair-"
"Not fair? Says the guy who left without saying anything and you tell me it's not fair"
"I Know I did bad by not informing you that I was leaving so I'm sorry"
He extended his arm offering a hug by means of apologising but Nina didn't budge.
"Sorry but I don't need your excuses"
"Really now, little Rosy?"
"Stop calling me little Rosy,now shoo"
Nina signaled with her hands that he should leave and was about to close the door when Wei Guang held the door knob and pushed it open,over powering the girl that tried fighting back.
Irritated,she excused the maid and closed the door just to see Wei Guang getting so comfortable on her bed.
"Man! This feels amazing" He sighed at the satisfaction and softness of the pillows which he burried his face in.
"Get off of my bed. I most certainly disapprove of your sweaty smell to settle on my blankets."
"Yeah , don't be like that little Rosy"
Nina walked to his side and took the pillow that covered his face but he immediately caught her hands before she threw it away.
"Let go of my hands"
Nina tried struggling out of his tight grip but of course failed miserably. This whole time Wei Guang just looked at her till she realized it.
"Little Rosy,why are you so angry?"
"I'm not angry"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm not,now let go of my hands"
But Wei Guang did not plan on letting this slide. He could tell that something was off with Nina.
"Not untill you tell me what's happening. I know you aren't this angry because I left. In fact you could have been so happy to see me then scold me. So something else is making you this upset."
Nina bit her tongue and looked away. She wanted to deny that something was off but she knew that lying to Wei Guang was close to a zero.
Noticing her silence, Wei Guang let go of her hands and sat straight on the bed before saying,
"Do you wanna talk about it? What ever it is"
Wei Guang's voice was low and gentle, carefully examining the girls expression.
Nina slowly nodded her head as yes.
"How about we go somewhere peaceful. Where we used to go and talk it all out,is that alright?"
Nina once again nodded still looking away from him.
"Good,now I'll wait outside and then you get dressed, promise you'll come out"
"I promise"
"Great"
