I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND (CHAP 57)

CHAPTER 57

 

 Jaejoong was outside the gate of Lena's home. He was continuously asking for the guard to let him in and let him see her. But the guard just ignored him.

 "Lena . . . Lena . . . Please I need to talk to you . . . Lena . . . I love you . . ." Jaejoong shouted as he stood outside the gate,

 "Be quiet! Miss Lena isn't here. How many times do I have to tell you . . . she's not here. Go home. You're just wasting your time, and you're disturbing the people inside. It's already late. They are already sleeping," the guard said with irritation.

 "I know she's inside. Please let me in. I just need to talk to her. . . even for a few minutes. I just want to tell to her something . . . something very important . . . Please . . ." Jaejoong begged.

 The guard shook his head. "Sorry. Just go home. You're just wasting your time. You will never see her."

 "Lena! Lena! Lena!" Jaejoong shouted again. He knew if he shouted loud enough she would be able to hear him, since her room was faced in front of the gate.

 In Lena's room . . . .

 A voice suddenly caught Lena's attention. It was a very familiar voice . . . her heart immediately recognized it.

 "Impossible . . ." she uttered as she quickly went ot the window where the gate was seen.

 As soon as Lena saw who was standing outside of the gaet, her heart quickly started to get confused. She didn't know what to do.

 "Jaejoong . . ." she uttered with a trembling voice.

 As if he heard her, Jaejoong suddenly looked up at Lena's room. His heart instantly regained its strength after seeing Lena.

 "Lena . . . Lena . . . Please let's talk," Jaejoong shouted with desperation.

 Lena didn't know what to do. Somehow she wanted to go and talk to him. But she also knew it wasn't right. She just continued to stare at him with pity in her heart.

 "Stay away from the window!" Daichi said as he quickly moved Lena away from the window.

 "Daichi," she uttered. She then looked at the worried expression on his face.

 "I'll talk to him. . . I'll make him leave. . . Just promise me, you won't go to him," Daichi said with fear in his eyes.

 Lena didn't know what to do or say. So she just nodded her head and just kept silent.

 Daichi quickly covered all the windows with the curtains. He was afraid that if Lena continued to see Jaejoong, she would suddenly decide to return to him.

 "Just stay here . . . Ignore everything you hear . . . I'll make him stop . . . Don't worrry," he said to her. Then he hurriedly went out of the room.

 Lena closed her eyes. she could still hear Jaejoong shouting outside . . . begging her to come out and talk to him even for a few minutes. Her heart was slowly being crushed as she tried to ignore what she was hearing. Somehow she wanted to pretend that she wasn't hearing anything. And somehow she wanted herself to be numb to the pain that was stabbing her heart over and over again.

 Jaejoong already belonged to Keiko. He has a responsibility to her and their baby . . . Lena kept on telling herself just to make herself hold on and stop herself from going back to Jaejoong.

 As Jaejoong kept on shouting outside, Lena felt like she was dying. As she slowly opened her eyes, tears immediately streamed down her face.

 "Jaejoong. . . I'm sorry. . . Even if I still love you . . . I can't go back now . . . You have to learn to move on . . ." she uttered.

 At the gate . . . .

 Daichi hurriedly approached the gate. He was having mixed emotions as he walked up to where Jaejoong was. He was angry, sad and scared all at the same time. How he wished that Jaejoong would just leave and let him have Lena without anymore problems.

 "Daichi . . . please let me see Lena. I've got to tell her something. Please let me talk to her even for a few minutes . . . even a minute will do . . . Please," Jaejoong begged desperately.

 Daichi somehow felt pity for Jaejoong. But he still tried to keep his heart cold and numb. He didn't want to give in to his emotions. Because he knew if he did, he might lose Lena forever.

 "Jaejoong, please leave. Lena doesn't want to see you anymore. You're already disturbing a lot of people here. Just leave Lena alone . . . Just leave . . . us . . . alone. She doesn't belong to you anymore. So just accept it," Daichi said with a very cold tone.

 Jaejoong shook his head. "No! I won't accept it. I love her and she loves me too. Please let me talk to her. I've got to tell her that Keiko isn't really pregnant. She was just lying to stop me from leaving her. I've already separated with Keiko. I've already cleared everything concerning Keiko. Lena and I can love each other freely now . . . She can return to me now . . . she and our baby . . . Please Daichi let her go . . . She belongs with me. I'm the one she loves and I'm the one who should be responsible for our baby. Please return her to me. . . I need her . . . I can't live without her," Jaejoong begged as tears unexpectedly rolled down his face.

 Daichi's expression hardened. "Do you actually expect that Lena will return to you after she learns that your girlfriend was just lying? Are you even thinking, Jaejoong? Or have you really lost your mind? Wake up, Jaejoong . . . Even without Keiko in your life now . . . lena, will never . . . ever return to you again. You've already hurt her many times . . . I won't allow her to go back to you again."

 "But Daichi, she's carrying my child . . ." Jaejoong uttered.

 "So what? The child won't be a problem. . . I'll take care of the child and treat it like my own," Daichi immediately replied.

 "No, Daichi. Please return her to me. Our baby needs me . . . I'm the real father . . ." Jaejoong tried to reason with Daichi.

 "Father? What a good father you have been. . . Lena just disappeared for a few months, and you already got yourself a new girlfriend . . . plus you've already slept with the girl . . . What a good example you make," Daichi said with irritation.

 Jaejoong suddenly lowered his head. He felt beaten and he knew what Daichi had said was true.

 "Leave . . . Jaejoong . . . It is the best for everyone . . ." Daichi said coldly.

 "No . . . I will wait here . . . Until she comes out and comes back to me," Jaejoong uttered with determination in his voice.

 Daichi gave Jaejoong a cold stare. "Suit yourself . . ." he said as he quickly turned around and left.

 Jaejoong's heart was already being filled with doubt as he silently watched Daichi go back inside the house. He knew that there was a big possibility that Lena will not see him, even if he waited the whole night for her.

 "I've got to hold on . . . I've got to wait . . .I've got to believe . . . I know she still loves me . . . She will come . . . I know she will . . ." he uttered to himself.

 Inside the house . . . .

 "why didn't you make him leave?" Lena's father asked Daichi.

 "I already told him to leave. But he's quite stubborn. He said that he won't leave and will just wait outside . . . until Lena comes back to him," Daichi replied.

 Lena's father laughed. "He's a fool. Let him wait then . . . Just make sure that Lena doesn't go out of her room."

 Daichi nodded. "But I'm really curious as to how Jaejoong knew that Lena is here . . ." he suddenly uttered.

 "Yes, I'm quite curious as well. I'm sure one of the people working here inside the house told him. . . If I ever find out who that person is . . . I will surely fire him and make him regret what he did . . ." the old man said with an angry tone.

 "It's a her, dear . . . not a him. . . And you can't possibly fire me . . . but you can divorce me. And as to making me regret what I did . . . I don't think I will ever regret helping my daughter. . ." Lena's mother said as she slowly walked up to the two men.

 "You? But why?" Lena's father asked with shock and disbelief written all over his face.

 Lena's mother looked at her husband, then at Daichi.

 "I'm sorry, Daichi. I know how much you love my daughter . . . and I'm very grateful for everything you've done for her. But my heart . . . a mother's heart . . . still tells me that you're not the one for Lena. Yes, Jaejoong made some mistakes. But I still believe that everyone deserves a second chance. My heart tells me that Jaejoong will be the only man who can make my daughter truly happy. Please understand . . . that even if Lena ends up marrying you . . . her heart will always be somewhere else. Her heart will always be with Jaejoong. No matter how hard you try to patch up all the differences and barriers between the two of you . . . there will still come a time that you will eventually grow tired. You may say you love her now . . . but what happens when you can't pretend anymore . . . and your heart has already grown tired of believing? Will you still have the strength to live with her? . . . To take care of her? Think hard, Daichi . . . I'm not only concerned about Lena or Jaejoong . . . but you as well. I don't want to see the three of you end up living the rest of your lives in regret and pain. Stop pretending, Daichi. . . We all know that Lena still loves Jaejoong. Just set her free . . . for the very last time," she said with mixed emotions visible in her eyes.

 Daichi stared at Lena's mother. Somehow everything that she had said made him more confused. He knew she had a point . . . but his heart was still telling him to just hold on to Lena. He loved her too much, and he didn't want to let her go.

 "I'm sorry, Mother. But I love Lena . . . I won't let her go," Daichi uttered as he quickly left the living room.

 Lena's mother sadly watched as Daichi left silently.

 "What were you thinking? Why do you still want Lena to end up with Jaejoong? Are you blind? Daichi is a much better man than him," the old man said to his wife angrily.

 The old woman stared back at her husband with a blank expression on her face.

 "I don't care who is a better man . . . What I care about is my daughter's happiness . . . I only want the best for Lena . . . I want her to be happy . . . And I know Jaejoong is her only happiness," she replied.

 The old man didn't know what to say. He was suddenly lost for words.

 "Let Lena decide again . . . I believe this time she will make the right choice," the old woman said to her husband as she slowly left the room.

 Upstairs . . . in Lena's room . . .

 Daichi slowly opened the door. He was already expecting to see Lena crying, but his heart still ached after actually seeing the miserable condition she was in.

 Lena was crying uncontrollably on her wheelchair. Somehow the sight made Daichi's entire being sick. Daichi decided that he couldn't face her now . . . Somehow he couldn't bear to face her and just watch her cry. He then closed the door again. It was better to just leave Lena alone, he decided.

 As Lena cried miserably inside her room, Daichi was just standing outside the door of her room . . . listening to her pitiful cries.

 Daichi's heart was bleeding as he continued to listen to Lena's cries while leaning on the door. He felt so miserable as well. He wanted to make Lena stop crying . . . It was driving him insane, knowing she was hurting. He knew he needed to decide . . . whether to continue or to let go . . .

 Slowly tears rolled down from his eyes . . .
