Cheating Death

Red Winsworth's POV My eyes started to water again as I stared at her picture...my baby... why? I love you..if only I have the power to make you... "Red come on! You still have meetings to attend, just say goodbye and tell her that you'll be back." My dad called me. I sighed and stared at the picture of my love...my baby.. "I'll be back baby...Promise, I won't abandoned you this time." I said as I wiped the lone tear that fell from my eye. I sighed again then stand up.  "You okay now?" My dad asked me as I entered the car. We're on our way to our company... "I should be, dad." I paused. "You know, she doesn't want me to be sad, she said, I should go for my happiness. I did go, to her. But, I guess, we're not for each other. She left me, here. I abandoned her."  "That's just a test for the both of you, you'll meet again. On the other side..." he said. My eyes started to water again! Argh! Hold your emotions, Red. I need to be presentable, later. I sighed as dad tapped my shoulders.  "Buckle up, we're late." He said, then drove so fast...and furious! Silly, Red. Tsk. I need to have a good mood, today. We're loaded with paperworks, for how many months..Since, she left, I just worked and worked and remember all our memories together...happy memories that turned to sad ones... As we reached the company, we were greeted by our people...they are all wearing white..right, it's the day..when we're remembering her. My love... I miss you, I love you... "Good morning, Mr. Red."  "Good day, Mr. Winsworth." "Have a pleasant day, Mr. Winsworth." "Welcome back, Mr. Red Winsworth." Welcome back, huh? I was just away for how many months, I was sad...moving on...I need to focus on work, of course, that's why.. I went away, to loosen up and think.  "Welcome back?" My dad scoffed as we reached the elevator. "Am I really away, for too long?" I asked him. Well, for me, it's just months.  "Well, not too long..for us" we both laughed. "Maybe, they just missed your handsome face, like mine!" He joked.  "Yeah, agreed." I answered laughing.  I heavily breathe and entered the conference room. . . They are all here, but, we're just right on time. Wow, they're early. They stand up to give respect and sit again, afterwards.  "Good morning, everyone. Thank you, for being here." I greeted them. "As we all know, this day is so important to us..me.. We are celebrating this day, as part of remembering the woman, whom I love, dearly." They just nodded and payed attention to me, even more.  "I wanted this day to be casual but special, also, we're about to launch our new game..so, I understand if you guys won't come and agree to me." I paused. "This day will be an off for all of us, but with pay, to the programming team, if you are loaded with works you can work, if you want, double pay."  "Also, before you all go home, as a tribute, please, leave a white rose. The designing team already take good care of the place, where to put the roses. You can see it on the map, it's posted on the wall." I continued. I just need announce that most special thing to ms, before we proceed to the next topic, which is the launching of our new game.  "If you wanted to take this special off, you can just log in, in our website, click it and then, it's approve." My father reminded them. Yeah, right. I almost forgot.  "Yes. If you have any questions, raise your hand." I paused. "If you don't have, please, go. Programming team, stay." I commanded. We should talked about the game now, this will be the most special game/project I'll ever make...this is connected to me..to my life..to my love.. "Thank you sir. Welcome back." The employees told me before they went out, I just smiled and nodded at them.  I sighed. I miss her, so bad... "Son, I'll see you later. Goodluck on your project." Dad said. "Don't think too much, I bet she'll be very happy for you." He then offered a sad smile.  "Thanks, dad. You take care." I said. "I.. don't want to lose...someone again." I finished my sentence,tapped his shoulder and faced my team.  "Okay. You guys, are all aware about the theme of our game, right?" I asked, they all nodded. "Good. How about..the inspiration? My inspiration..on that game?" They nodded.  Good. It will be easier to finish this project, then. Baby...I wish you're proud of me..if only you're here..but I guess.. I sighed as I shrugged all those thoughts.  "Sir?" An employee called my attention. "We already know the concept..and we know that it is inspired by your one and only great love...but..she's not here anymore..I'm sorry. But, is it okay..if we'll know the title of our new game?" He asked. Good question  "Of course. The concept of the game was from the life experienced of my baby...the life that she, left.." I started. I looked at them and I can see how they want to know the title, desperately.  "Our new game is inspired with someones's life...A woman's life to be exact. A special woman to me. My baby . . ." I paused. "My baby, who's cheating death." =================================================================== Disclaimer: This is a ENGLISH LANGUAGE story.  This is a work of fiction.
