Don't be my Destiny Fox
Crystal Clear
...The hardest decision I had to make was when I was too tired to hold on, but too sick to let go....
...****...
Zia's mind hesitated every time she listened to Mitha's advice. What Mitha said did sound good to Zia.
Zia even felt lucky to have a friend like Mitha who was trying to protect her heart from getting hurt from defending her household with Gavin.
There may be a lot of happiness waiting for him out there. But Zia could not let go of the sure happiness, for the sake of happiness still in wishful thinking.
It's even possible that Zia won't find happiness beyond her happiness with Gavin.
Zia is not weak, nor stupid for being willing to get hurt to defend Gavin. But the woman believed one thing, that there would be light after dark. There will be happiness after suffering.
If at this time Gavin had returned to what he used to be, even insisted on not ending his household, then why did Zia have to give up just because of the insistence of her mother-in-law that even Gavin would not comply with her request.
Perhaps it is time they fought together for the wholeness of the household and the happiness that will welcome them.
Zia chose to end her inner struggle.
The beautiful woman went back to the kitchen to eat her lunch she had just cooked.
Shake the phone on the dining table, pause Zia's activities. The woman opened the message sent by Gavin. The corner of his lips lifted, forming a happy smile with sparkling eyes.
'Don't forget to eat, baby.'
A short message from Gavin was able to restore his mood that had deteriorated.
Before replying, Zia first sent a photo of the food she was eating.
'It looks like my weight will go up over here,,'
Reply Zia. Do not forget to pin emoticons to shine horses that show off a row of neat teeth.
The food that Zia is currently eating is quite a lot.2 times the usual portion.
Zia realized, to deal with the ordeal of a heavy alley requires a lot of energy.
Gavin made her smile again. This time Zia gave a shy smile.
'It's okay, isn't it sexy.
I'll call you back later.
I love you,,,'
After replying to Gavin's love, Zia resumed her lunch.
The woman was even more craving to eat her food. His improved mood, was very influential with what he was currently doing.
The sound of the bell made Zia stop her lunch at the last mouthful. After gulping down some water, Zia went to open the door.
But before opening it, Zia first looked at the small monitor on the right side of the door.
Zia's forehead shriveled, looking at David who was behind the door of her apartment.
The woman hesitated to open the door, but when she saw Ciara who had just been carried by David, Zia finally opened the door.
He could not bear to see the sad face of Ciara who looked like she was crying.
"Tanteee,," Ciara exclaimed with a whimper.
"Sorry Zi, Ciara wants to have lunch with you,,"
Said David. The man looked unkind to Zia.
"I'm sorry once again Zi," David said as Zia had been quiet ever since.
"Sister, me,,,,,, "sister,,,,
"Tante, Cia comes in bribed with aunt," his whine cuts off Zia's speech.
Not unwilling to feed Ciara, but Zia did not want to be close to David even though Ciara was with them.
However, Zia understood very well as a compulsory wife of her law to limit herself to other men.
David is the only person who makes Gavin jealous the most.
Zia doesn't want misunderstandings to make Gavin jealous and worsen their household problems.
"I won't go to Zi. Let Ciara go inside." Said David. He knew what Zia was worried about right now.
If only Ciara could be persuaded, David would not come to Zia and beg her to feed Ciara.
After quite a while of silence, Zia finally gave an answer by nodding slowly.
"Cia can eat with aunt Zia, but Cia has to promise not to be naughty," said David as he crouched down to level with his little girl.
"Ok Papah, Cia promised," cried Ciara pleased.
"Papa's son is smart," David scrambles Ciara's head. He stood up and looked at Zia who was caught smiling.
Zia had always been envious of seeing the adorable interaction between her parents and child.
"Sorry to trouble Zi," Gavin said sincerely.
"It's your lunch and Ciara's,,,"
David handed over the white plastic bag he had been holding.
"I just finished eating, sister," said Zia.
"You should eat Zi a lot. You look thinner than you were 4 years ago," David said as he grabbed Zia's hand and moved the plastic bag into Zia's hand.
"Come aunty," Ciara seemed impatient to enter Zia's apartment. He pulled Zia's hand.
"I'm Ciara Zi. Thanks in advance," David threw a sincere smile. A smile that can hypnotize anyone who sees it. Too sweet and charming.
"Same sister," Zia took Ciara inside, then closed the door slowly as David was still standing there. The two stared at each other. Their eyes were cut off by the perfectly closed door.
"You never change Zi," murmured David.
Zia is the only woman David has had a hard time approaching in the past.
...***...
Meanwhile Gavin had just finished lunch with Mitha and Nindy in the VIP room of his restaurant.
Their lunch was not separated from the discussion about the development of the restaurant handled by Mitha and Zia.
Nindy looks busy noting important points that are being discussed by Gavin and Mitha.
Her eyes took turns staring at Mitha and Gavin.
Mitha sat in front of him, while Gavin sat at the end of the dining table. Nindy had to look to the right if she was going to look at Gavin.
"Zia won't be handling the resto again for the next 1 month." Gavin told Mitha.
"Please don't call Zia to discuss the resto issue. Even if only discussing light things," Pinta Gavin.
The man did not want Mitha to contact Zia and discuss work issues. Gavin really wanted Zia to focus on calming her mind and heart.
"Okay sir, I understand." Sahut Mitha fast.
"Good,,,"
"I'm back to entrusting this restaurant completely to you."
Mitha nodded Quickly.
Gavin moved from his seat. Gavin steps out of the room, followed by Mitha and Nindy who walk behind him.
"Here you are," Mitha held Nindy's hand as she was about to leave the room.
"Why Ma'am.?" Nindy tried to get her hand out of Mitha's grasp.
"Don't try to put your heart on Mr. Gavin.!" Firm Mitha.
"You know very well that Mr. Gavin already has a wife.!"
Mitha looked furiously at Nindy.
"Bu Mitha was too presumptuous to accuse me." Nindy pulled his hand.
"I'm not accusing, I'm talking according to what I see.!"
"Your mouth can lie, but not with your eyes.!" Mitha was annoyed.
"Sorry Mom, excuse me," Nindy walked out of Mitha's presence and ran after Gavin, who had been out of the VIP room.
"Wait Sir," cried Nindy half-shouting. His breath seemed to be gasping for breath as he chased after Gavin.
"I think you're still here" Gavin said. He insinuated Nindy with his flat voice.
Nindy could only sigh when she saw Gavin coming straight into the car.
