Chapter 11 Unknown Person
Daniella’s day class was over, and it was obvious that her eyes wanted to close because she was so sleepy.
Bree was not with Daniella when she came home because Bree was in a hurry to go home, so while she was leaving the school gate, William called her.
“Hold on!”
Daniella lazily turned to William and just waited for him to get close to her. “We’re going somewhere; follow me,” he said, and continued walking.
Daniella’s forehead furrowed because she really wanted to go home. Even though her face was tired, Daniella walked with a smile and followed William.
Daniella was already just behind William, five steps away. Daniella walked more slowly while bowing her head. William noticed this, so he walked back and leveled his walk with Daniella without her being aware of it.
Daniella just followed where William was going, and she noticed that in a park that she had also went to the other day, she had entered.
Daniella thought, “What are we going to do here? We have discussed that you will start tutoring me on Saturday, right?” Until William sat down in a chair with a table, Daniella just sat down.
“Here I will check your answer earlier in your quiz.”
Daniella wondered why he even took her to the park if he was just checking her answers earlier. “Why am I still here?”
He looked lazily at Daniella. “Can you just stop asking?” William pulled out the paper and began reviewing Daniella’s answers.
Daniella just nodded and put her arm and head on the table because she was really sleepy. In less than five minutes, it was obvious that it had fallen asleep. William shifted his gaze to Daniella, who was already asleep at that time. He watched it while it slept, which meant he really meant to take it to the park so that it could somehow sleep for a little while. It is dangerous for her if she walks continuously, because later she will face danger on the road.
While they were in that position, a man was looking at them from the other chair and table. When William and Daniella arrived. It looked at Daniella first before William. And since the man was looking at them while they were sitting, he asked. “Is she your girlfriend?”
William turned to look at it and shook his head in response. “Why do you two look like lovers?”
“She’s not my girlfriend, she’s just my classmate, and I’m her tutor.”
The man smiled. “I think I know. Maybe she likes you, but you don’t pay attention to her. ” At that time, William didn’t answer, and at that same time, the man was right in his suspicion.
“It’s your lucky then.”
William turned to the man again. “Why did you say I was lucky? This woman is so ugly and will do what she wants even if those around her are no longer happy.”
“Aren’t you happy? Of all the guys around your school, you’re the only one she chose to have her crush on you and I’m not sure if she also loves you too. ” The man was still smiling as he looked at Daniella. “She’s beautiful, but why don’t you care about her effort?”
William looked at Daniella’s face when the man suddenly spoke again. “I was also a high school student. I had a classmate like that, but the woman in front of you is not the same behavior. She also had a crush on a man, but she couldn’t say what she felt because she felt like I was in trouble, so what happened was that we graduated and she was mean to me. ”
” Why are you bothering her? Shouldn’t you let her be who she wants? ”
He averted his eyes and stared at the emptiness with a small smile on his face. “Because I also have feelings for her. It’s funny to think that I did everything so that she wouldn’t just tell the person she liked the feelings in her heart, even though she was almost angry with me then.”
” What you did is selfishness.”
He laughed softly. “Yes, I know. I’m of aware that I was selfish at that time. But what can I do? I love her and I don’t want her to go to that man anymore.”
“But where is the woman you’re talking about now?”
The smile on his lips disappeared. “Actually, I don’t know where she is now. All I know is that the man she liked then is already married, but to her I have no news. ”
“Do you already have a family?” William asked.
“Nothing yet, and I can say I am a martyr because I am still looking for the woman who made my heart beat then, and hopefully this time I can find her and I can say how I feel.”
William could see in the man’s face that his desire for his beloved was real. “What if she already has a family?”
He smiled at him. “I still don’t know what will happen if there is. But all I want is to be able to say what was in my heart a few years ago. If she already has a family, it’s okay and at least somehow I told her my feelings. I have been carrying this for a few years. I may be able to move on, but not right away. ”
Another man stopped behind the man William was talking to, and it looked like it was his driver. “Excuse me, Sir! We have to leave.” The man who called himself “Sir” turned around and just nodded in response, and the man left immediately.
The man stood up and put both hands in his pants pocket. He’s still in a suit and looks like the owner of a company.” If I’m you, don’t be in the habit of ignoring her either, because it’s obvious that you have feelings for her. Because you don’t know when you might want to say it, your heart will let go and it will be more difficult for you to reach that situation. She has the courage to say how she feels about you. You are in charge of determining whether her wish will be fulfilled or not. Or maybe she will get hurt at the end like you.” Then a sincere smile showed on his face after saying that.”I’m leaving. I’m glad to meet you. You two, be careful when you go home.” And it walked away. William just quietly looked at Daniella and shifted his eye to the paper. It answered, with the result all perfect even though it only ended at number 20.
Daniella’s eyes moved as she open and closed her eyes to signal that she had woken up. “I fell asleep?” She looked at William.
“Have you finished checking my answer on paper? Can I see?” Daniella held out her hand while one hand was fixing her hair.
“Not yet,” William said, and suddenly, Daniella stopped fixing her hair.
“We have been here for a while, and I think it’s been about an hour, but why haven’t you finished checking?”
“I’m lazy, so I’ll just do it some other day.”
Daniella was stunned at what he said. “What did you do while I was sleeping?”
“Reading a book,” William replied shortly.
Daniella looked at him in disbelief. “What else are we doing here? Let’s go home so that I can just continue my sleep in the house that I should have done earlier,” Daniella emphasized in every word.
William ignored her and left first. “Really? He’s the one who really leaves first. ” She was still sulking as her gaze followed William away. “I don’t know if this William is really numb. He even overcame the anesthesia.” She also walked and followed William, who was already far away from her.
