Harold's point of view…
"f**k!" I couldn't get Charity off my mind, and I had to restrain myself from cursing several times. How many times should I try to forget her? Does she even use her charm to have absolute control whenever she wants?
"Is there anything else I can do to assist you, sir?"I cast a quick glance across at the female waitress standing by my side. She gave me a wink while grinning. She almost seems to be showing off her cleavage in front of me; I almost see it.
"Please don't bother me; I don't need anything anymore." When I uttered those things to her, she was stunned. Did she really believe I'd get caught in her trap?
I'm not looking to f**k anyone. I am a traditional man, and I have only engaged in s****l activity with women who have been in my previous relationships. The woman I had slept with on a cruise ship five years ago is the only exception.
"Ah— Alright sir, my apologies." I wasted no time glancing at her. I just waved my hand at her to make her get away from me faster, I don't care if what I said hurt her, it's her fault because she bothered me.
While thinking once more about Charity, I stroked my temple. Being a heartless boss to her made me feel guilty. I only remember the girl I slept with five years ago every time I see her.
Jonathan's bachelor party took place on a cruise ship that day. I became drunk because he didn't stop telling me that I should drink a lot of alcohol, so I did what he asked to satisfy Jonathan. But when I made the choice to return to my room to rest, Jonathan was unable to stop me. When a woman entered my room that evening, she wasl a virgin, but I couldn't help but repeatedly have s*x with her.
The girl was so exhausted that she fell asleep as I was penetrating her. I don't understand why I keep wanting to own her. I had hoped to speak with her, but she just left me in my room when I was asleep.
Since then, I have dreams about her every time I go to sleep, but I can't picture her face. Every time I think about her, I have trouble falling asleep.
However, I had to interview Charity when I first saw her. I was unable to take my eyes off of her stunning beauty. They have similar looks, and even their voices are similar.
'Charity, are you the woman I slept with five years ago on the cruise ship?'
I want to know the truth, and I know someone who can help me find the woman who messed up my world. I opened my laptop to read what I would need for the meeting. After that I emailed Jonathan– my friend.
I recalled that Jonathan had given me the woman I had s*x with that night, but after a few days had passed, my friend hadn't even talked about it.
My meeting came to an end a few hours later, so I texted Jonathan to schedule a meeting. Maybe I'm just lucky that we live in the same country? I am aware of Jonathan's love for travel, as he frequently misses time with his wife. He wants to have s*x with unknown girls who can easily open their legs for him.
“Hey! My favorite buddy!” I couldn't help but stare at Jonathan from head to toe as he came towards me. He smiled at me before laughing as though he had thought of something amusing.
“Which wind carried you here? Do you know how happy I was to find that you were also here!”
"How about you? What are you doing in this country?
“You are aware that I am the owner of a renown airport, right? The fact that I'm in a new place shouldn't surprise you!”
“Are you here to get someone f****d? How is your wife doing?"
“Dude, I'm here to enjoy myself. She wanted to forget about me and end our relationship, and she had already filed for divorce!”
"Haha, why do you sound like you're in pain?"
“Dude, stop it. I don't come here to cause drama. I'm famished. First, let's eat. This restaurant is the priciest one around..”
"No one is pricey for us, especially you who like to spend money on women.."
I ordered as well as Jonathan. The server poured the goblets with red wine as we waited, so we accepted them. As Jonthan smelled it, then tasted it, his expression expressed his sense of peace.
"Hmmm.. I've tasted a lot of wine, but this is the best."
I also tried the wine, and Jonathan was right that it was excellent. I am aware that Jonathan has certain tastes in beverages.
"Do you remember the bachelor party you had on the cruise ship, Jonathan?" Jonathan responded by giving me a nod.
I sincerely want to discover the truth. I'm trying to locate the woman I spend that night with.
“Oh, what's up with that? Did something happen?" He closed his eyes while slowly chewing the gourmet food we ordered.
"Do you remember that I left your bachelor party early to rest in my room because I couldn't drink anymore and I was already drunk?"
"Buddy, of course I remembered. What is the problem? Why are you asking, man?”
“Did you pay a woman to come to my room that night?”
Jonathan closed his eyes for a few minutes and then shook his head at me. He put down the fork, then he elegantly drank the wine.
I was suddenly nervous, my heart was beating fast. I'm worried that I might be wrong.
“I didn't pay a woman to come into your room, dude. Because I know that if I rent a girll to have s*x with you, you won't like it."
"And, I know that you are too conservative. You don't like to have s*x with someone who isn't your girlfriend." Jonathan added.
After hearing Jonathan's answer, I sighed violently. If so, who is that girl? And how did she get into my room?
“You f****d a woman in your room while I was at a bachelor party? Really, dude? I thought we were friends but why did you just tell me this now? You hurt feelings!"
"And I want to find who is the woman I had s*x with five years ago.
"You want me to help you in locating the unknown woman you f****d?"
“Yeah, can you help me with this? I want to see her."
"I'm the only one who can help you. You're really lucky to have me as your friend. But dude, what happened to you at my bachelor party is envious."
“Maybe her performance is excellent! You can't forget her, and you are celibate for damn five years! That woman must have been your last that you f**k!” Because of what he was saying me, I gave him a murderous gaze. Jonathan speaks quite bluntly, and it's easy to slap his mouth.
My five day meeting ended quickly so I just went straight to our house because mommy wasn't answering my calls. I felt very worried that something might have happened to her but I found out that she was also at home.
There was no light in the house when I entered it. I didn't see mommy in the living room either. Suddenly the worry came into my heart because I couldn't see my mother.
I went to her bedroom and saw mommy crying while looking at a paper.
"Mommy, you're just here." She quickly hid the piece of paper she was holding but it did not escape my sight.
"Harold, I didn't know you were here."
"Mom, I called you several times but you seem too busy and you don't answer the call."
Mommy simply wiped the tears from her cheeks as she turned her back to me. She pretended to cough as if she had phlegm in her throat.
"Sorry, Harold. I was just doing something earlier so I didn't notice your call."
I walked closer to my mother and then I hugged her. I don't know why she's crying but I don't like seeing her cry.
This is how I felt when I saw Charity in tears after her interview. I remember that after she left I immediately followed her to see her again. Every time I see Charity cry it hurts me. My heart breaks every time I see her tears.
"What is the paper you hid, mommy? Is there a problem?" I couldn't help but worry about my mother because I know she is a strong woman. She doesn't cry as long as she can bear it.
"Son, I want to tell you something. I only found out about it three days ago.” Mommy's voice was so sad that I swallowed.
My mother took a deep breath and glanced away from me. She took that paper from her pocket and gave it to me. What's in this paper? Why was my mother so serious today?
“Harold, I found out that I only have a year left to enjoy this world. That's what the doctor told me.
My forehead was wrinkled because of what my mother confessed. I didn't speak for a few minutes because of what she said.
“This is not a funny joke, mom. I understand that you want me to get married as soon as possible, but you shouldn't use the fact that you're ill, mum!"
“Harold, I hope I'm just acting. You have no idea how terrible it makes me feel to know this. I keep asking myself, how will you be when I die?”
"Mommy, I don't believe a word you say! You can't possibly become ill. Come on, let's check right away to make sure that's untrue!"
"Harold, why should I act like I'm sick? Son, what's on your mind? "
“If this is accurate, let's have a second opinion about your illness. No, this is not true! Mum, you're the only one that I had. It hurts to think that you will leave me here!
My mother's cry became louder, she embraced me too tight. Her tears almost soaked my clothes
"Son, I can't abandon you either, but I'm becoming old. I simply want to witness your wedding. I wish for you to be happy with your own family.
I took a deep breath because my tears wanted to fall.
"Mommy, I don't know if I can give what you want because—-"
"It's okay, son. I understand because marriage is sacred. You have to marry the woman you love. You have to marry because you want to, not because of me.”
"But mum—-"
"I understand, my son. I want you to marry the girl you love."
I know that my mother was forced to agree to what I want. I know that she wants to insist on what she wants but I can't yet.
Suddenly my phone rang so I immediately took it out of my pocket. My heart raced when I saw Jonathan's name.
Did he find out who that woman was? I was wondering, how did he find her so quickly!
"Hey dude! Unfortunately, she hasn't been located yet. I spoke with the cruise ship's owner; didn't I mention that he is a good friend of mine? Someone has taken it down..."
What I heard astounded me. Who in the hell will destroy the CCTV recording from that day? All of a sudden, I felt really bad. I need a copy of the CCTV if I want to see that girl.
"Who erased the CCTV is still under investigation. A second duplicate that was concealed that day is also something we are looking for. It appears that finding the woman you had s*x with at my bachelor celebration will be difficult for you."
Sh*t! I will do everything to find that woman. I can't stop myself but to feel frustrated by Jonathan's news.
