Should I Stay or Leave? novel Chapter 27

Acwell had tried to check with her friends, but they also don't know where she is at even her mother doesn't know. All the people he asked about her whereabouts started to worry, but he assured them that everything was alright even if it was not entirely true.

Then, he thought maybe Kamiah just needs time to be alone, which is understandable. If it was what she needs, he would give it to her so she could cool off. So, he sends her a message saying,

"I think that you are probably fed up with what I did. I know at some point I made you feel like I don't need you in my life, but it's not entirely true. Both of you are the most important and deeply loved in my life. So, I will give you the space and time that you want. But I hope you both take care and find room to forgive me. I missed you, and I love you both. Please call me back or just send me a message when you are ready."

It breaks his heart to send that message. He wanted them home right now, but he knows Kamiah will not come home right away. He felt a little happy when he looked at the screen, and the read symbol showed up. Finally, Kamiah has decided not to ignore his messages like the previous ones. At least, even if she won't reply, he knows that they are both alright.

Acwell sends another message saying, "I will wait for you patiently just as how patient you were when I was ignoring and hurting you. But I am deeply hurt, Kamiah."

Reading Acwell's messages breaks my heart. I wanted to go home to see him. It made me cry a lot. But I cannot go back yet. Otherwise, what I did will be useless. No change will happen. I will just go back to the same old situation.

I suddenly received a message from Arianna saying that her boss was kind today and approved her booking discounted tickets. She already booked the flights, and all I have to do is confirm the dates and wire the payment to her, which I immediately did. It was fast, which I did not expect. But it was good, so I won't change my mind.

I dried my tears, went to my laptop, and start writing my resignation letter. I will hand it to my boss tomorrow and ask for my last workday after three days. Then, I will fly right away to LA.

I check the motel in LA that I saved yesterday. I was lucky the rate has not increased, so I confirmed the reservation since I already have the exact dates of my arrival.

"I hope I am right. I pray that I can make it work," I murmured.

The babysitter sent me a message that Acwell was asking about our whereabouts. We did an agreement that she will only tell him that I asked her to stop babysitting Kai, and she doesn't know where we are. I thought that she will give in to Acwell's plead of helping him, but she did not tell him.

I sighed when I went home. I was contemplating whether I should tell Acwell what I will do and where I am going. But I have decided that I will respond to his messages and asked to stop looking for us later before we board the plane.

Our flight was around 01:00 AM. We are lucky that we did not have problems passing all the checks at the airport. It went really smoothly that I could say that we were meant to do this.

Kai was sleepy when we board the airplane. I was lucky that he finally dozed to sleep when we're already settled on our chairs. I looked at him. I wondered if Kai was okay that he has not seen his father. Does he miss him? Am I hurting him? I dismissed all of those thoughts and just became optimistic about what I am doing. I remembered Acwell, so, for the last time, I sent him a message before the plane takes off.
