Chapter 044

SEBASTIAN'S POV When I opened the door, Vienna immediately turned around and looked at the cat I was hugging. She immediately approached in my direction which surprised me. I thought she was scared of cats but she wasn't. The only thing I can see now is the amusement in her eyes. "It's cute, hi kitty .. what's its name?" She asked as she stroked its hair. "Her name is Amee," I replied. I've been taking care of Amee for 2 years, she is one of my sources of happiness. Every time that I'm sad, she makes me happy every time I play with her and hug her. "Her name is cute. Hi Amee, I'm Vienna nice to meet you," she said happily. I smiled because of what she said, it's a good thing that she didn't see. I missed her childishness. "Can I carry her?" she asked. I didn't hesitate to give Amee to her. She's carrying it now like a baby, she looks so cute. I just watched her, she was overjoyed at Amee's presence. It's a good thing she's not looking at me, she'll know that I've been smiling while looking at her. "I'll go to my room for a while, you'll take care of Amee," I said and she looked at me. She nodded in response and turned her attention back to Amee. I went out of the studio then I met Dad outside. "How is she? Is she okay in there? Is she comfortable here?" Dad asked, I nodded in response. "She's with Amee, she enjoys playing with it and I think she's comfortable here. Maybe we shouldn't ask her about what happened to her dad. Because it looks like she hasn't been able to move on until now," I replied. When Vienna mentioned what had happened to her dad, I noticed that she was immediately sad. Dad and I were also sad, I considered Uncle Rey as my father that's why I was hurt by what she said. He was one I got close to because we both love music. He influenced Vienna to sing and play instruments. I suddenly remembered what he had said to me before which I still hold on to now. "If you and Vienna are destined to be together in the end, I hope you take good care of her. Don't hurt her, promise me that Sebastian." He said those words on the day that his daughter answered me. And until now, the promise to take care of and love her daughter is still imprinted in my heart and mind even if she no longer remembers me. "Okay son, I'm sorry earlier I just missed Vienna. And it's not right to ask her what happened to her dad," dad replied. Vienna's dad and Dad were not just business partners before, they are close friends. And neither we nor Dad didn't know why even Uncle Rey, didn't show up. The only one who could answer it was Vienna's mom. She is the only one who knows all that happened 3 years ago. "I understand you, Dad, we just feel the same way," I said. "Thanks, son, you'll take care of her. I'll go to my room for a while," Dad replied while patting my shoulder. I just went to my room and when I entered I immediately sat on the bed and sighed. When will I admit it to Vienna? But I'm still hesitant. Vince was right, once Vienna found out about me, she would just get hurt. What should I do? I'm having a hard time too. But I will not give up, as long as I can I will not give up. VIENNA'S POV I enjoy Amee's presence because she's fat and hairy. Honestly, I'm scared of cats and I don't like them. But when I saw Amee, my fears disappeared and I wanted to take her home. The door opened again, it was only Sebastian who was wearing eyeglasses. Why does he look even more handsome in that situation? I was surprised when he suddenly sat next to Amee and me here on the sofa. "Is there a problem?" he asked and immediately looked at me, I shook my head in response. Why do I feel uncomfortable with him? 'Cause his stares, it's annoying. He immediately stood up and took a guitar, he sat down next to me again after he took it. "Sebastian," I called his name but he didn't look at me. "Why?" he asked. He also started to strum but I can't guess what he was playing. "Gian mentioned to me that you composed a song and then you sang it when you had a show in the park. What is it about? About love, family, or about your life?" I asked. "It's about a girl," he replied and immediately looked at me. "Shouldn't you have to hear her it first? It's like in the movies or the TV series we watch." "We're not in a movie or dramas, we're in the real world, Vienna," he replied. I am speechless, I didn't imagine that he's serious when it comes to such matters. "The last person I want to hear that is the woman that I will love and be with me forever." He said those words while looking into my eyes. I was silent, I couldn't understand how I felt right now. To my surprise, I suddenly hiccup three times. I looked away from him, but I still felt hiccups. What does this mean? "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly but I did not answer him. He immediately approached me and stroked my back. I looked at him but because of what he did, I felt better. 'I'll get some water, just stay there," he said. I immediately held my chest after he left, my heart was pounding so fast. I know I'm not the woman he's referring to but why did I get a hiccup? Is this one of the signs that I already like him?
