Should I Stay or Leave? novel Chapter 38

My phone rang while we were having dinner. It's Acwell asking about Kai again. Since I replied to him, he almost did not stop asking about Kai. So, I just sent him all the videos and pictures that I took earlier. He tried calling me via Facebook messenger, but no, I can't speak to him.

"Is it not the right time to call you?"

That was Acwell's message. I did not reply, hoping that he would get the message that it was not the right time. And to be honest, I really don't know when would be the right time. I don't know when I would be able to talk to him without wanting to cry.

Acwell had to wait for hours before Kamiah responded to his message. But she did, and she gave her address.

"Yes! Gotcha!" Acwell exclaimed out of happiness.

Kamiah and Kai went to LA. It's too far that he cannot just go to them right away. But at least he knows where to find them. The next step he has to do is get a flight ticket, a hotel and process his resignation. He doesn't care if he will end up jobless for a while for as long as he will be with his family.

He tried asking how are they. All Kamiah does is send him pictures and videos of his son. The very first video brought tears to his eyes.

"I missed you, my little boy. Daddy will see you soon," he whispered and sobbed.

Acwell tried to call Kamiah, but she won't answer. It is most likely that she is still upset with him. He sent her a message, but she did not reply. Kamiah is not in the mood to talk to him, which was painful because he missed her. But he understood it, and he didn't want to force her. At least she sent videos of his son.

He could not sleep that night. Kamiah had been on his mind, and the thought of her having someone else made him feel scared.

"What if she had found someone new? What will I do?" he asked himself.

"Don't be so pessimistic, Acwell. And even if she does, at least I would see and be with my son."

Acwell handed his resignation letter the next day he got a hint from Camila. He wants to be able to fly right away the moment he gets his flight tickets. And he was lucky that after two days, his friend was able to book his flight for him.

He booked the cheapest hotel that is near the apartment where Kamiah is staying. Acwell even sends his resumes to nearby hotels though he is not expecting him to get hired. If he is lucky, he doesn't have to go through a hard time looking for a job.

Acwell did an immediate resignation, so after a few days, all his documents would be ready. He even informed his landlord that he would vacate the apartment and already sold some of the furniture he owned.

He was packing some of his clothes when he thought of Amara.

"I will be away from her once again. But it's better that way," he said softly.

Catrina had kept sending him messages. Sometimes she would call him, but he refused to answer. Acwell doesn't want them to argue once again. He decided to talk to her a day before he flew to LA.

Acwell agreed to meet Catrina after he had packed his bags. He went to her apartment almost 06:00 PM. Catrina opened the door with a big smile.

"I am so happy that you have come back for Amara," Catrina said.

"Let's sit at the dining room."

They sat silent and staring each other for a minute.

Acwell breaks the silence by saying, "I am living Dubai tomorrow."

"Ha? Are you going for a vacation?" Catrina asked, confused.

"No. I am living for good."

"What? Why?"

"I found where my family is, and I want to go there."

"Did your ex-wife asked you to follow her and leave your daughter here?"

"No. I have been trying to find them, so I will go there. I don't need Kamiah's invitation."

"But Acwell, what about Amara? She just got to know you, and you will walk away from her again."
