Until You Fall in Love with Me

Ch.5

Tok tok...

He had just closed his eyes, but the repeated knocking sounds drew back his soul that was about to go to dreamland.

"Come on.I'm so tired.." - grumbled.

"Re're?" vivian's voice sounded from behind the door.

"Yes Ma, just a minute.."

He dragged his heavy steps towards the door that was still far ahead.

"Why Ma?"

"You sleeping?"

Margaret shook her head slowly.

Vivian let out a long sigh, then handed the cold ointment to her daughter.

"I'm sorry that Mama couldn't do anything" he said.

Again Margaret just shook her head with a smile.

Vivian held out her hand and stroked Margaret's hair, coupled with a bitter smile on her face.

"Oh yes, this is.." said Vivian while thrusting a large gift box at her daughter.

With doubt Margaret received the box. Confused of course he felt because his mother still did not say what he meant.

"Delivery from Chandra.. Mama also does not know what it is," said Vivian.

"Oh yes, Mama will get ready first. You also get ready, and and as beautiful as possible." continued Vivian then turned away.

Margaret shut the door. He walked to his bed, then placed the heavy box on his bed.

He started opening it.

A dress and high heels that look luxurious. But baby, that's not his taste. The dress looks childish.

Margaret lifted the dress.

"Even the size is twice the size of my body." he murmured.

She clasped the dress and carried it with the heels still in the box towards her walk-in closet. The last cupboard, which is the most different from other cabinets. He's unlocked.

"I'm sure he must have sent all this.."

"Or maybe he didn't buy it himself. He must have sent his assistant.."

"Because he was never sincere,"

Margaret put the dress and the heels in the closet, then closed them. It is unfortunate because the objects in the closet were never used once.

Midi dress colornah white with sakura motif that meets the base of the shirt. He took it from another hanger.

He's already picked out the clothes he's gonna wear tonight. After glancing at the wall clock, she began to prepare to go for a bath.

Out of the bathroom he walked towards the large mirror that was in the corner there. He looked at himself in the mirror.

For almost 4 years they have not met. On the other hand Margaret was a little fluttering. On the other hand, he did not want to meet her.

"How will I greet her later?" murmured Margaret as she stared deeply at herself in the mirror.

Remembering back then he always called out to her with a cheerful and spoiled tone, no matter how Chandra reacted.

"Do I have to keep calling him like I used to?" mummified Margareth.

"Margareth? ready yet?" call Vivian from out there to throw her daydream.

"Yes Ma, soon." answered Margaret from the inside.

Immediately she put on her makeup thinly to make it look natural. Then snatched his white sling bag and rushed to get out of the room.

He went down the stairs, greeted by his parents who were waiting to leave.

"Udah? no one's missing?" ask Vivian to make sure.

"Udah Ma's.."

"Come fast, don't be late and make them wait long!" said Heka who immediately shot out.

Margaret followed behind her Mom and Dad. Not yet they left, but a sense of nervousness had filled him. Even on the field of racing he is not that nervous.

'Stupid margareth, calm yourself!' grunts in the heart.
