Chapter 31 : Hold Into Him
| Hold into Him |
"No matter how long it takes, true love is always worth the wait."

THE STARS glow along with the dark skies, the luminous moon peeking over the clouds, leaves were wiggling on the branches, the wind blew coldly and swayed the curtain in the window of our room. My tears won't stop flowing to my cheeks as I remember him, leaving me without a word. He never bothers to call or send messages to me.
Reina was already asleep. While me… I just can't. I've been crying for hours, and my body seems to be dehydrated. I look at the bottle of water, Reina just gave before she climbs to her bed. Why does he need to go without saying anything to me? I know I should trust him, but can't I deserve an explanation?
I can feel that something was bothering him but as he told me to trust him, I never asked him about it. those me in black, those black cars. They're all the royal bodyguards of Denmark. And Linus being a prince is sounds surreal. One look, you will never suspect him like a royal—he never dressed like a royal. Yes, there's still superiority in his every move but being a prince never crossed my mind. All I know is he holds power as the son of an elite.
If he thinks that I won't listen to him because he hides the truth from me, well, he might be wrong. He should have explained his side to me, and I'm willing to listen. It's not that he will just leave without a word. Because it feels heartbreaking. My heart is in pain, and I can't just stand with this. we may hide our relationship but that doesn't change the fact that we're in a relationship. He should've told me that he was leaving! Not that he left me hanging!
"Hmm… Come on, Becca. Take a rest. We'll deal with your problem tomorrow," said Reina with her dizzy voice.
I wiped my tears and drink at the bottle of water. I closed the window. I went inside the bathroom to take a quick shower. As the hot water drips down in my body, tears began to fall again in my eyes. I just can't stop it. damn it! Why did he do that? I felt betrayed. but it sounds insane, because I still love him, and I trust him. No matter what his reason is, I will trust him.
I finished bathing and dressed up in my pajamas before going out. Reina was snoring when I sat on my bed. I heaved a deep sigh and looked up, trying to hold back my tears. It's enough. Don't cry, Becca. He said you need to trust him, I said to myself as I try to calm down.
THE NEXT morning, I woke up first than Reina. I just can't sleep. Maybe I only sleep for two or three hours.
"Geez, you look like a zombie," Reina said when she opens her eyes and looked at me.
"Swollen eyes? Why don't you try calling your boyfriend? If he didn't call you or text you, then call him," she said.
I heaved a deep sigh. "I tried, but the number can't be reached, okay. I tried," I replied
Reina rolled her eyes at me. "What now? You two broke up without closure?" she asked and got up, she fixed her hair into a bun and pulled away from her blanket.
"He has problems, and I will give him time—"
"You better ask him about it now, before it's too late. You see, when you're in a relationship, you better know about each other's problems, and face them together. Yes, he said that you must trust him, but can't he trust you? And hide the truth about you? He's a prince, Becca. And you're just a mere student living in a small town—"
"I know, I'm just a commoner. And I'm still proud of that. He has a reason, why he didn't tell me about it, Rey. I understand him, because even I, I also want our relationship secretly—privately, and I feel him, Reina. I feel him. I know the feeling when you need to hide something. Because I'm doing it too."
Reina heaved a deep sigh. "So, what's your plan? You're just going to wait for his calls or text? You will just be going to wait for him until he shows himself to you?" Reina shook her head. "By the look of it, when those men waited on that street, I think, your prince escape from his kingdom, and now, they found him and got her back to where he truly belongs."
"So, you're suggesting that I will follow him and fly all the way to Denmark?" I asked, sarcastically. But the thought of it just hit me.
She shrugged and got out to her bed and fixed it. "It's up to you if you want to. If you can, then you will. You can do anything when you love, Becca. It's a matter of choices and sacrifices. I love Royalties, and it's been a month since I'm hunting that Prince of Denmark, who happens to be Linus, your boyfriend. I knew the Royal rules as I've searched over the internet, his Royal Highness must marry a woman from his race and now that he was back, I'm sure he already meets the woman whom he will marry."
"You're exaggerating things, Reina."
She looked at me. "No, I'm not. So, you better take action, before it's too late."
He will come back to me, right? He said to trust him. But what if Reina's right… what if things between us get too late?
"But according to David Jeremiah, Waiting is not always a bad thing; it can bring its own joy—the thrill of anticipation," I said to her, but she just laughed at me.
"You know what, Becca, if I were you, I will set aside those thoughts coming from books and just depend on my will. What if you're going to wait forever? Do you think those wise words, help you? I'm not making you upset, Becca. I'm knocking some sense on you. If he can't tell you about his problems… his reasons or whatsoever… then better seek it all by yourself."
Feeling drained, I sat on my bed. "I don't know what to think of, and what to do."
"Then go to Denmark and find your prince," she said.
Should I?
