CHAPTER 123—Have No RelationshipNishane's Point of ViewTHREE days passed quickly and I felt better. I'm not sick anymore but Mirae still won't let me enter the coffee shop. What my friend wants is for me to stay at our house so I can rest properly. It was effective because I felt better. Even the things I could work on using the laptop, Mirae didn't allow me. She really watched over me so that I could get better.I've taken a shower and I plan to go to the mall. I need to buy something and at the same time, I want to go for a walk because I've been staying at home for a few days. I want to have something new to see. Mirae and I didn't have any stock either, so I thought we'd just go shopping for food for the two of us.After getting dressed, I immediately took my bag and the key. I will ride with what I brought until I get to the nearest mall. As per my to-do list, I bought things for the house, at the coffee shop and also some food that we don't have anymore. I'm having a lot of fu
CHAPTER 124—An Invitation from Her FatherNishane's Point of View"WHAT'S that?" I asked Mirae when she was at my office. She has a paper bag with her. My friend's smile was so wide that's why I was surprised. "Is that from your lover?" I asked her. There could be no other reason for her to smile like that.Mirae's smile suddenly disappeared. "I don't have a suitor. And I don't have time for that." She placed the paper bag on top of my table. "So this gift is not for me.""Huh? Whose?""It's for you, probably!" She glared at me. "Look what's inside. I want to see." My friend smiled sweetly again.Thinking that the gift might be from Hanz again, I opened it lazily. I was just as surprised to see a small card inside the paper bag. I frowned.Mirae noticed that. "Why? Whose is that from?" My friend stood up and came to my side. "Mr. Cassiana? Isn't that your maiden surname?" she asked me.I was suddenly nervous because it had been a long time since I knew that my father was still alive.
CHAPTER 125—Meeting Her FatherNishane's Point of ViewEven though I shouldn't be nervous right now, my chest is still pounding. Just a moment ago at home, Mirae told me not to be nervous but I still couldn't help it. My heart seemed to want to come out from beating so hard.I was still in the car and in less than five minutes I was at the restaurant where my daddy would meet us. I can't remember the last time we met and talked. That's why it's not impossible that I feel this way.When I got out of the car, I immediately entered the restaurant and was looking for my father. I didn't see any of the people there, so I asked a crew member. I immediately thought that daddy might be in the VIP room, so I asked where he was.I was not mistaken and the crew escorted me to a VIP room. Daddy is drinking tea with me close to him."Dad," I called his attention, his attention went to me.Daddy smiled broadly and stood up. My brother hugged and kissed me. "It's good that you accepted my invitation
CHAPTER 126—Her Mom is BackNishane's Point of ViewMY NEXT few days went well after we met daddy. A part of my heart was relieved. I'm at the coffee shop now but I'll leave soon because I'll meet someone at the mall. That's my supplier who was once a classmate of mine in college."Are you going to have lunch with the supplier? I'm not going to wait for you?" Mirae asked.I first looked at the watch I was wearing. "Maybe? I'm not sure yet but when we finish the meeting early, I'll call you."My friend nodded. I told her to leave. I got out and went straight to the parking area where my car was. I didn't get in right away because a car stopped in front of the coffee shop and the door opened. When I saw who was inside I was stunned.Until the woman who was riding got off. She smiled widely when she saw me."Nishane, my daughter!" my mother said loudly.I smiled at her even though I was a little awkward. There are many people around and they also know her anyway because she used to be a
CHAPTER 127—Lost HandkerchiefNishane's Point of View"THANK you for your time, Nishane," said Arabella—my former classmate who is now my supplier of coffee beans. She has coffee beans from different countries that's why I want him to be a supplier too. We also became close while we were studying."You're welcome and thank you too for offering me your coffee beans. The quality is very good."When Arabella left I was the only one left in the restaurant. The two of us had lunch there, so earlier I messaged Mirae that she and mommy would eat lunch together and she replied.Before leaving the restaurant I went to the powder room. I just entered there but I noticed something. My handkerchief is missing. I really like that handkerchief because that's what I use every time I have a business-related meeting or meeting. That was my child's favorite handkerchief back then. He always holds it because of the fuschia pink color.I immediately came out of the powder room to check if the table where
CHAPTER 128—Unanswered QuestionNishane's Point of View"NISHANE, I really can't find anything like your favorite handkerchief. I've looked in malls and online shops and there's nothing. What brand is that handkerchief?" Mirae asked me.I didn't think to think. That handkerchief is not branded. Actually I only bought it once when I went to a church. I suddenly looked at Mirae. "I think I know where to buy that.""Really? Do you want us to go there now and then buy something to replace what was lost?"I shook my head. "Mirae, the handkerchief that my child touched is what I want. That's all." I feel like a child who has lost a favorite toy. Even if it is to be replaced, I still don't want it because I want the lost toy. That handkerchief is very important to me. That's the only thing I know that is also important to my child.I'm very sorry because I didn't keep it. I should not have brought that to the meeting. Hope it's still here.Mirae came to me and held my hand. "Nishane, what do
CHAPTER 129—The Lost Handkerchief Nishane's Point of ViewI WAS busy the next few days because I was building a new branch of the coffee shop. Mirae has also been busy. Mommy is really just here in the country to relax. It's been two days since she didn't go home since she's in a beach resort with her friends who are still in the showbiz industry to this day. That's okay because she also deserves to relax while here."I'm leaving tomorrow, Nishane," said Mirae.I looked at her while holding a plastic container with cookies. "Okay. Where's your date?" I asked her, teasing her. I know that she will be annoyed if I ask her that.My friend frowned. "What date are you talking about? I don't have a love life, do I?" She let out a deep breath. "Do you think I will ever have a boyfriend? Will I ever have a husband who is kind?" my friend asked me while dumbfounded somewhere.I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe? You're still young. It's not hard to love you. You're beautiful too. Just don't rush.
CHAPTER 130— Give it BackNishane's Point of ViewI DON'T know how long Clifford and I have been in my office. I don't know how to start. Actually, I don't have anything else to say to him. The handkerchief is the only thing I really want to see to prove if it is really the one I lost.He cleared his throat so I turned to him."Ah, sit down. Would you like something to drink?" I asked. My chest is pounding hard. It shouldn't be. I have nothing to worry about. Clifford was the only one in front of me."What do you want to see, Nishane?" he asked while staring at me. The look that I haven't seen from him in a long time because every time our eyes meet, I avoid looking at each other.I bowed and gathered my courage. "Ahm, a while ago, I saw that you were holding a handkerchief. The fuschia pink handkerchief."Clifford nodded. He moved after a while and took out the handkerchief from his pocket. My tears flowed automatically. The feeling is strong and I guess that's it."Is this what you'
