The Second Encounter

Chapter 3 - Invitation

Rachel's Pov

I received a invitation for a grand reunion from high school, I didn't go to any reunions till now but this time it's different.

"Why did you come out now and don't even contact me this past few years" my eyes begins to water and I can't even stop it.

"Rachel my dear why are you crying"

"My dear? who told you to call me that? and what are you doing here Miko?" Miko suddenly at the door of my room.

"Don't be mad we will be married soon so where's the harm? By the way why are you crying?" Miko said while giving me his handkerchief.

"There will be a grand reunion of my high school and I was just reminiscing the past" 

After that I ask Miko to leave me alone because I will have to prepare something to ware for the grand reunion. There is one person that I want to see before I married and check if somehow there is a small chance that I have a courage to tell him what I feel, maybe after I confess to him I will have no regrets in this lifetime. 

The time has come for me to meet him again, I get this I will tell him what I really feel even if I don't know if he's single or not. What's important is that if I can confess to him, all this years I hide my love for him.

10 years earlier

"Can I ask you a favor?" 

"I will listen to you first before I can accept that" This is Bea my best friend in middle school.

"Can you call Zion for me?" Bea was the perfect for this, she's my best friend and doesn't go to this school. Every other friend of mine will be gossip about this.

"Okay! but where do you want to meet him?" 

I didn't think about it till now, where do people doesn't pass by and quite...wait there is a place like that in this school.

"If you find him tell him to meet me at the room of the beginning I will leave a note at his locker if something happens and you cant find him"

"Okay got it"

I went to his locker and a note to meet me at the room of the beginning then went to the room of the beginning by my self. 

"This room never changes, it feels nostalgic just standing here. We didn't have the chance to use this room within this 3 years, maybe this is fate" I was smiling happily when a person knock on the door.

Bea find him earlier than I expected, what do I do? I'm not prepared, my heart is pounding so fast I don't know what to say. For now maybe just let him in so that he will not be seen by others.

"Come in don't just stand there" I turn around, I can't let him see me in this state where I can barely stand from nervousness.

The door opens and someone is entering slowly, my heart is pounding faster than before.

"Ra-"

"Wait right there, don't move! let me catch my breath" I stop him from saying anything, Zion you i***t let me calm down first.

"Are you nervous?"

"Of course just stay put and obey m-" wait his voice doesn't seems to be Zion.

I turn around after hearing his voice and to find that he was not Zion and someone that I don't know.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" My nervousness became anger real quick after I saw his face, bring my nervousness and pounding heart for Zion back.

"Sorry for late introduction, my name is Prince Vigor of the Vigor group of companies"

"Vigor?"

"Yeah, I'm the one and only son of the CEO of Vigor Company"

"So what are you doing here?" Vigor? I don't care, I don't have time for you.

"I saw you entering this room a while ago so I follow you and here I am"

"And what can I do to the Mr. Vigor" Bring back my excitement.

"Rejoice!, the truth is I like you and I will give you the privilege to be my girlfriend"

What is this person thinking and how can you be so high and mighty when your talking about yourself.

"I'm really sorry but I am in love with someone else" His name is Zion and he is 100x better than you.

"Is he really that good for you to fall for him?" This person is looking down on Zion.

"Yeah I think so, he was my ideal guy. He was a CEO of a Big company in Asia, he's smarter than me, Kind and He has good looks" I feel like a proud girlfriend boasting about my boyfriend.

"Are you delusional? CEO of a big company? only 3 companies in Asia can call themselves big, not even our Vigor company can call ourselves big. Are you a gold digger? All of those 3 big Companies in Asia has a Grandfather CEO and the youngest among them is 61 years old" 

How can you compare Zion to those geezers. I stop arguing with Mr. Vigor and find a way to make him leave it will be disaster if Zion came and see me arguing with someone, It will kill the mood and I will take forever to make a good mood for a confession.

I wait for Zion to come, I wait and wait and wait but he didn't come. I got a call from Bea that she saw Zion running so fast going out of the school gate, I don't know what happen but it must be a Emergency.

"Yeah for sure it was an Emergency"

10 years later

After that I didn't got the chance to see him, he even changes his number. Time flies so fast and I am an adult now, my dad worries about my future and got me into a arrange marriage. All this time I can't find him until a invitation card was sent to me today.

"Miss Rachel there is a invitation card for you" my butler hand me a invitation card.

I was about to throw it to the trashcan when a familiar name caught my attention, for all this years I can't find you.

"Why did you come out now and don't even contact me this past few years"
