Unforgiven Sins

BenChua’s POV

I woke up because of the fragrant smell, the smell of Palmolive shampoo and that is from Cinyla’s hair. She was sleeping soundly next to me so I couldn’t help but stare at her gentle face. I turned to her to see her perfect face since I saw how beautiful she is. I don’t want to look anymore. It’s just you, I hope it’s you…

I got up and just hugged her, it looks like she will wake up later. Honestly, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with Cinyla but her identity attracts me a lot. Because she is the most honest, mature, and awesome woman that I met. I never thought I would fall in love with her after he stabbed me every day. As the saying goes, “The more you hate, the more you love.” She mentions that she has a boyfriend, but where he is? She is lying.

I looked at her beautiful face and I remember something. We are really like dogs and cats because we are full of quarrels, and arguments and often end up being ignored. But I can only say one thing we are met to know each other. I brewed coffee first because I wanted to wait for him to eat well when he woke up. This VIP room that I have is just for me, she is the first girl to come and stay here. I don’t know what she has that grabs my attention more, either because I’m not interested in women.

I sit first at the nearby table on the side of the bed. While sipping coffee, I remembered all the pain of my past. I hate my father for being a liar to us and f*ck I remember his bastard actions.

“What’s the matter and you can’t introduce me to your parents, huh? BenChua is ten years old right now, don’t you still have any plans? Even the marriage, you forgot!”

“Give me time to do this! You know I’m doing everything but most of all, my reputation, my name. Besides, your requests are not easy.”

“Oh wow! So I’m still really bad here huh?! Oh, because of my request? Do you love us? Or you don’t value us, Paolo?! “Wait, what’s the request? It’s your obligation. Why did I agree, why do I still love you!”

“Love, I care about you. But this time, it’s not possible, you know, right?” The man holding my mother’s hand pleaded.

“Damn Paolo! Of course, who are we for you? We’re just here oh, there’s no place in your life because I’m second only to your son! I’m sorry, I’m sorry if I’m not your original wife… ”

END OF FLASHBACK

I pressed my grip on the glass I was drinking choco coffee while my left hand was not restrained from moving away from the table, in the intensity of anger, I hit it.

The girl in bed woke up because of the noise I made. I adjusted myself and let go of the coffee I was drinking. “Good afternoon, baby!” I greet him here to make him think that there is just no such noise. I also didn’t intentionally make any noise in case I remembered the bitterness of yesterday. “A-are you okay?” it’s questioned with a streak of remembrance to me. My heart became calm when I saw his innocent face, he was like this when he first woke up. She’s so beautiful, especially.

I came over here and caressed her face, “I’m okay. You, how are you sleeping?” I asked. She smiled which made my heart beat faster and when she opened her mouth it went even crazier as if something would fall when he stopped what she was going to say. “I slept well, Sir BenChua. The sweetness of the bed is soft. Wait, have you been awake before?” she asked.

“It’s good then, I’m glad to hear that. Not just now. Do you want some coffee or let’s eat?” I offered him then I sipped my coffee that had cooled down because I hadn’t drunk too much before. “I’m hungry too, let’s eat.”

We went out of my VIP room and I also wanted to surprise him so that he would know that I was serious with him. Luckily too and I remembered that I had an order of flowers and included her favorite chocolates. Maybe I’ll just give it when we get home so that at least I can give it to my aunt as well. “Where are we going to eat, sir?” is a formal inquiry.

“Just at Hjian Restaurant, I’ll treat you, and stop calling me sir okay? Just baby or love.” I whispered to her left ear and then I took her hand. I don’t know why my fun is overflowing now, she is gorgeous in my eyes and I think she deserves everything that I have right now. The strength that I think I hit him.

“Sure! I need to be formal because you know there are many apples in the world.” excuse it and let go of my hold on him.

“Don’t mind them, I don’t care what they say. Shall I still shout that I love you?”

“BenChua!”

“Okay baby, I will do that. Come on!” I took his hand and we headed straight to Hjian Restaurant. It’s just a walking distance, there’s no need to drive because it’s next door. This is my restaurant, I built it next to my company so that at least there is a restaurant nearby. And because I am half Chinese because of my grandfather, this Hjian is the name I thought of.

We went in and I let him choose our orders. “Wow, it’s nice here! Wait, why does something seem weird?” Omg! Do you also own it? “He said in shock.

“Y-yes!” He saw my picture on the side of the door, I was so busy that I lost my mind to remove it. So here it is, he knows right away.

“It’s embarrassing, you’re already the CEO and you still own a Filipino-Chinese Restaurant. It’s shocking!” she snorted, causing me to laugh a little because of how scared she is now.

“Oh why are you laughing?!” she annoyed. We are currently sitting and waiting for food. She couldn’t order right away so I just chose what we could eat. “Nothing baby. You’re just cute! You’ll take care of them too,” I replied. “But… it’s just a trick because you’re here. I’m just in the mouth.”

I took his hand and looked him in the eye. “Stop! I love you and you’re important to me. I don’t care what you are, I accept you no matter who you are. Remember that okay? Besides, everything I have will soon be yours. So please, stop insulting yourself. It hurts. me, “I explain. “I will always do my best so you know I don’t have all that. I will court you the way I know and I will make sure you don’t think about it again,” I said boldly until our meal arrived.

“Yes, my Sir BenChua,” she said softly. “Thank you!” she replied to the waiter and he offered me to eat as well.

Honestly, I was full to see him eating but because I didn’t want to mislead him I just went along and I will admit it was the happiest day of my life- to be with and see him more closely. While eating we just talked about various things. It’s funny because after we became dogs and cats, here we are, happily exchanging stories.

“You know, even your mood is also talking to you, huh! But I didn’t think that after being a stranger we would be like this,” she laughed as she stabbed the pasta with a fork. I ordered specialty pasta that we have that the ingredient of it is white and kinds of seafood. “It’s delicious, isn’t it? Can we get some to bring home?” she asked and I smiled because she liked our specialty pasta. “Sure! I’ll have the chef make a new one for auntie.” I yelled at him because of his choking. I quickly reached for the tea juice because of what had happened.

“Are you okay, baby?” I asked. She first drank the tea juice that I gave to her and calmed down for a while. “Slow down in moves, your speed! It makes me smile. Why is it like this? In all her actions, I find it cute even if she’s pissed or disgusted with me.

“Hey! Stop that! You’ve been watching before, baby.” She covered her mouth as she called along with the baby.

“I heard it, finally you called me baby. Damn, I loved it!”

“Ugh! Why did I slip… It’s all your fault, sir!” She whispered which made me smile because I could hear what she was saying even though her voice was weak.

“Okay sorry. Are you done eating?” I asked.

She adjusted herself, “Yes! I just want the pasta,” she reminded her of his request. “Okay, I’ll just have it delivered to our house first,” I explained.

She smiled and I saw my happy pill again, her smile that make me feel better and I would always want to see it on her lips.

“Come on? We’ll take care of something,” I said when I saw the time on my watch had passed at one o’clock.

Before we finally left, I told the staff to cook immediately and before 5:00 in the afternoon they would be able to deliver to the address I gave.

When we finally got inside my restaurant he hugged me. “Thank you for lunch! Thank you for making me feel better this day.” She smiled again at me and give me a smacking kiss on my chin.

“Let’s go!” once dragged by my hand to return to the office.

I let her hold my hand, her hand with tenderness, and her kiss even for a moment, I want to repeat.

I give up on you, Cinyla. I love you… I will always love you.

We’re back in the office and then back again to the reality that work should come first. I am a hardworking person, so I can’t just finish what I’m asked to do. I make sure it is the best and concise. information and on time.

Until I received a call, and because Cinyla was busy I answered it.

“How are you, my dear child? I am here in the Philippines. “Why else would she come back? When is she here in the Philippines? No, I won’t see her. Not now… and I don’t.
