Chapter 17 Pain of the past love

CRIMSON LUCA I saw Isabelle s picture with her husband. We are the richest name in the continent and next is Isabelle s husband. He is older than her for 13 years. I think that man has a daughter who is a famous designer in United Kingdom. She even designed some clothes of the royal family. She went to the next page without reading the article. I look on other directions. "Uhm! That s Wilbert Rider, he follows the Luca s fame in the business."-Alona. "He has a lovely daughter."-Roselyn. "He is. It seems like he picks such a beautiful wife. Well, he s 45 years old yet he looks younger. That must be the reason why he marries the second time around."-she added. "Chesca Rider…her name rings in my ears."-Roselyn. "She is, she is a very famous and high paid model in the world. At age of 25, she is also one of the youngest and millionaire model in the world."-Alona. "Ohh, I might have saw her to a fashion magazine of any commercial from certain companies and even to billboards."-she said. 'Get married…huh? She must be so happy because she even brag about that man when we meet again in the hospital. When did they get married? "Oh gosh, that feels nice."-Mrs. Reid. "Roselyn, what are you staring at?"-Alona. I look around and we saw her standing in the side of the pool. She went to the railings and suddenly jump. "Roselyn!"-Alona. We all went to the railings and we saw her landed to a Jacuzzi on the lower floor. "What is happening here?"-she ask. "My son is choking!"-a mother said. She went suddenly grab the child and push his stomach as she holds him from his back. "Oh gosh, Claro!"-his mom. Until after a five push, the kid throw up a piece of chocolate bar in his throat. "Thank you, miss!" The boy is coughing and his mother gave him some water. She left them and we waited for her to came back in the last floor of this cruise. "Why did you do that?!"-Alona and I look at each other. I saw how worried she is for her best friend. "I heard a mother is asking for help. No one from the guest even help and maybe the staff is just being addressed and they might be late in coming to the Jacuzzi area. I knew how to apply first aid exercises so I went off to help."-she said. "What if you didn t fall in the water?"-Alona. "Then I ll surely die or be crippled if I have bad luck with me as always."-she said. "That easy? You said that so easy? Have you even thought that some lying on her bed will surely be I pain if you died or a bad thing happens to you?" "Uhm…I m sorry."-she said. I sigh. 'What is wrong with me? Why am I being mad like a crazy? Oh crap! "Don t do any mistakes like that again okay? It s great to help but make sure you won t put yourself into danger. Do you understand?"-Mr. Reid. "Yes uncle, I m sorry."-she said. "Don t nag at her everyone. Do that if her decision turns out bad for her."-grandpa. "Mr. Luca, sorry."-Alona. "It s okay honey, I understand you. She is like your sister you never had. But next time Roselyn, I hope you will refrain in involving yourself to certain instances that might hurt you."-grandpa. "Okay, Mr. Lu—I mean grandpa Robert." "Good. I will go to the captain and you guys can enjoy here. I will send someone to bring some snacks fir you to eat. Enjoy."-he said. He left afterwards. I tried to calm myself and I don t want the Reid s to see that I am pissed off. When the food came, I took a juice and drink it on the railings. "That mad, huh?"-Tristan. I didn t look on him. I knew he is wearing a teasing smile. "Are you here to tease me?" "Not really. But for the first after years, today I saw you get madly worried towards a woman s safety. After you and Isabelle broke up, you showed disinterest to women. You only show care and worried to your close relative, friends, employees and of course to your grandpa." "I don t know what you are talking about." "Okay, go one. Lie as much as you like. I am not telling you what to do but the point is. Maybe Franco is right. You only need to focus to a single partner and try to be attached to her. Who knows? Your situation is being affected by your emotions. Maybe Roselyn is the right person for that job." "I don t know Tristan. Maybe you have mistaken in what you saw. She has a mother who will surely be happy to see her again. I need to take care of her until then."-I said. I m even convincing myself with that reason that I gave. He chuckled. "We have been friends since middle school, stupid. I know how to read you even if I didn t became a doctor myself."-he said. "Tch, like I said. Don t expect to much, Tristan." ROSELYN JENSEN-LUCA "Did you saw that? He is worried about you. Maybe he starts falling for you."-Alona. "Alona, don be stupid. The wife of Wilbert Rider? He is the ex-fiancée of him that I m talking about. He already admitted to me that he still love her, so what your saying is just purely imagination of yours. Drop that thought already, missy."-I said. She pouts. "Ohh, too bad. But what if he did? That woman chooses a different man. Maybe you can…" "C mon, eat some doughnuts. You must be hungry. Don t think such creepy ideas, Alona. There is a big differences between the drama s we ve watch to a real life love story. Here s your doughnut."-I said. The night has fall, the cruise chip is on it s way back to the port and we will arrive there around 1:20pm. He is on his laptop, he must have checking some emails. I pulled the quilt and tried to sleep. I bring this book and I continued to read them. Eventually, I end up sleeping while the book is in my chest. "Shut up! I will always take what is mine. And even he is yours, I will take him away from you! Don t illusion because your just a rag whom he dress to be a human. Ambitious woman!"-she said. Her face is blurry, who is she? She suddenly threw the red wine in my face. I took out my hanky and wipe it. She is about to slap me when… "No!"-I said. I arose from the bed and took a deep breathing. I drink the water on the bedside table. Who is that woman? Her face is blurry. I saw him sleeping in the couch and his laptop is on his stomach. I stood up, there is a blanket in this cabinet. I took it out and place the laptop on the table. My eyes catches the screen. He is reading an article about the wedding of Isabelle and Wilbert Rider. I sigh. "What a lonely man."-I mumbled and put the blanket on him. I went back to bed and continue to browse in his laptop. Then I saw some files that I shouldn t. It was full of pictures and videos of him and Isabelle. I close all the tabs that I open. I just close it and place it back again on the table. I will act that I didn t saw anything. I tried to get some sleep again. "Good morning."-I said. I have finish taking a bath and I was at the balcony when he wakes up. "Good morning. Did you eat your breakfast?" "Not yet. Let s eat together. Let s try to ask if Sir Robert if he eats breakfast and if not, we can eat together. Let Tristan takes care of the Reid s."-I said. He nodded. He went back inside to take a bath. I took a deep sigh. 'How can I help you, Crimson Luca? TRISTAN CLIFFORD Roselyn gave me her consent. She said I should take care and show off a little bit to Alona and to her family before the cruise reach the port. I will surely treat them in food and even shop around the shopping mall of this cruise. "Thank you, Mr. Clifford. You treat us again." "Just call me Tristan Mrs. Reid."-I said and smile. "Tristan, what is your field in medicine?" "I m a general surgeon, Mr. Reid."-I said. "Just call us uncle and aunt, Tristan. Thanks for the treat, anyway."-he said. I smiled. "Here, have some taste of this guys. It was delicious. You will surely like it."-Alona said. She put some the prawns in our plate. I smiled. "Thanks."-I said. I thought she is taking of their shell because she really like prawns but she do that to share it with everyone. She is indeed sweet like what Roselyn said. I eat them after I pour some sauce. "Tristan, tell me is there any food or anything that you have an allergy?"-aunt Kris. "I don t have any allergy, auntie. How about Alona or any of you? So that I know what j shouldn t bought whenever I visit Alona in your house."-I said. They smiled and Alona give them an embarrassed expression. Her father cleared his throat. "Ahem. Me as well, I don t have any allergies, Tristan." "As for me, I am allergic to chicken s feathers. As for food? I don t have any allergies from it."-her mom. "Me? I don t have allergies as well."-Alona. "Noted."-I said and smiled. After that, I ask them to come with on the shopping mall of the cruise. We only have few hours before we will be back at the port. I saw a beautiful scarf for couple. "What do you think?"-I said. "For whom?"-she ask. I pointed her parents while they re busy looking around as well. She nodded. "Ohh. Okay. It will look good on them." We took the pair and went the counter, I paid it. We went out. I suddenly saw that Alona is staring to a particular jacket blazer. "Uncle, auntie, this is for the both of you."-I said. "Oh, thank you, Tristan."-she said. I drag Alona inside the shop and took the blazer that she is staring. "Try it."-I said. I went on her back and put it on her. I turn her around and smile. The color brownish suits her as if her outfit is also made for this. "Beautiful."-I said. She blushes. "Enjoy your date."-her mother. They left. I chuckled. For the first time, I enjoyed a date like this in my life.
