Chapter 12 - He's your son?!

' At last! Here he comes from the Door. Itsumi, meet my son and your childhood friend,

Hikari Jeng.'

HIKARI WHAT?!

Itsumi didn't even look at the door.

It's probably not him, It's probably not him , IT'S PROBABLY NOT HIM, What if it's him?!

Her heart was beating faster than a winning car on a racing track.

Her ears could not even hear the the loud clamorous sounds of the audience applauding , the only sound she could make out was of her heart beating in her ċhėst.

Slowly, her breathing quick and fast, she turned around.

She wasn't able to concentrate because of her heavy blinking.

When she looked up towards the door, it felt like time stopped.

It was Him.

It was the person she thought about every minute of the day.

The person whom she dreamt about everyday.

It really was him.

It was Jeng.

His hair was set with some gel, and his hands were in his pocket.

He didn't acknowledge anyone and went straight towards the open bar.

Ren frowned at him and said , 'You know how he is folks, Never really into Parties and Gatherings. But I was able to convince him for today. But let the dinner continue my dear people, Until then, Please Enjoy the caviar and Champagne.'

The sound of booming applause and hooting came from the audience.

Itsumi couldn't stop staring with wide eyes.

Ren looked at her and said,

'You remember him? I'm sure you do, You guys never used to leave each other's side when you two were children.' And started laughing.

Itsumi tried to regain her smile and smiled awkwardly.

Aiko called out,

He looked back , sighed and nodded as if he was saying 'What?'

Aiko waved to him, signing him to sit with him and he replied to her by rolling his eyes.

He put his glass down and strodded over, styling his perfect light brown hair with his long fingers.

'Jeng! Itsumi's here! It's been such a long time, right?', Aiko exclaimed in excitement.

Jeng looked over to Itsumi and

squinted his eyes.

'Oh, Aren't you the chem girl? The nerd?' , he said with a dull and uninterested voice.

Itsumi tried to form a sentence but in a squeaky voice she replied with a Ya.

Aiko just stared at their faces one by one.

' Chem Mum Chem, short form for Chemistry, This girl was in my chemistry class last semester.' Jeng concluded, looking grim.

Aiko chuckled.

'Oops, my mistake, But Jeng, if you two are in the same class, that means you are two are in the same school. And Both of you don't remember the other person?'

'Nope', both of them said in a chorus.

Aiko slightly frowned.

' Well, that's disappointing, I'm going to leave you two alone now, And I hope you two get a chance to bond and remember something about each other.' Aiko said and turned around to walk over to her husband and his friends.

Itsumi bit her lips and fisted her wrists, in order to stay calm.

Her adrenaline rush was so high that she accidentally bit her lips hard and she bit off her skin.
