Love Worth Fighting For

292 Farewell

“Yes and that is one of the biggest sins that I have committed to Elena besides...”

Christian’s words were interrupted by the arrival of the waiter who brought their order, Zwetta herself also immediately put on a friendly face at the young waitress who was serving food in front of her. Zwetta did not want to vent her anger on the innocent waiters.

“Thank you.”

Zwetta and Christian said the same sentence to the three waiters who had just finished serving the food in front of them.

The three waiters responded to Zwetta and Christian’s words with big smiles before they finally returned to their work, leaving Zwetta and Christian back alone in the room that could accommodate more than a hundred people.

“Eat it, Zee. This food won’t taste good when it’s cold,” Christian says quietly.

Zwetta did not respond to Christian’s words, all she did was reach for the wine glass beside the expensive dish that was in front of her eyes. After smelling the wine that was so thick, Zwetta then drank the extraordinarily delicious drink with full appreciation. If it weren’t for Christian Clarke sitting across from her right now, Zwetta might have shouted at the top of her voice. The taste of the wine that had been stored for more than ten years was very different from the wines she had drunk before. Christian Clarke’s taste is really very high.

Not wanting to hear Christian ask her to eat again, Zwetta then grabbed the fork and knife that was next to her plate. Zwetta gracefully sliced ??the meat full of good fat and put it in her mouth, once again Zwetta almost screamed loudly when she felt how delicious the meat was already in her mouth. Damn it!

“Before the sun is at its peak, I will leave this country,” Zwetta said quietly, breaking the silence.

.....

Christian, who was enjoying his food slowly, immediately raised his face to Zwetta who was enjoying her food so quietly. “What did you say? You’re leaving the country? Why? Has your boss asked you to come home?”

“Of course to continue my journey,” answered Zwetta lightly. “Didn’t we discuss this last night, so why are you still asking again?”

“This fast?” Christian asks quietly.

“In fact I’ve been in this country too long,” Zwetta lied. “I’ve exceeded the schedule I made by being in this country too long.”

Christian who has lost his appetite, immediately grabs a handkerchief and wipes his lips quickly; he is so disturbed by the farewell that Zwetta just said. Even though Zwetta’s attitude was so unpleasant, Christian was not willing to let the girl go. Christian doesn’t want to lose his new Elena.

“Where are you going?”

Zwetta shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know.”

“Don’t know?”

“Yeah, maybe I’ll explore Germany which borders this country or go to France or to...”

“Don’t go!”

Zwetta almost choked on the lettuce she had just tried to swallow, fortunately Zwetta managed to prevent the embarrassing incident quickly so that the unwanted thing was avoided.

“Don’t go, Zee. I need you,” Christian adds back shamelessly.

Zwetta’s brow furrowed. “You’re not dreaming, are you?”

“I’m serious, Zee. I need you, please help me find Elena.” Christian ends up using Elena as a way to prevent Zwetta from leaving. “Please help me get an apology from Elena.”

Zwetta immediately straightened her body. “Help you find Elena Wilson?”

“Yes.”

“You really are out of your mind, how can you ask a stranger for help so easily. You think I’m a free person? I also have a job waiting in America, so don’t talk like that. your family matters with Elena Wilson, then why did you have to include me?”

“Zee...”

“Remember Christ, I’m good to you because I appreciate everyone in this place. But don’t take my kindness further.” Zwetta continued her words again with a roaring breath. “You’re the one who wronged Elena, so try to get her forgiveness yourself. Show that you’re a real man, don’t make Elena Wilson hate this cowardly you even more.”

The series of words that were so striking managed to make Christian’s chest feel so hot and tight, stabbed repeatedly by Zwetta’s sharp words, making Christian, who is so feared by many, looks like a helpless servant at this time. The two eyes that were usually able to subdue anyone suddenly glazed over, as if they had no hope of living. Christian’s mental condition was so chaotic that his face, which was already so pale from not sleeping all night, looked even more pathetic.

“I’m just trying to fix things, Zee,” Christian says hoarsely with his head down in regret. “I really want to apologize to Elena, I want to beg her forgiveness.”

Zwetta, who previously spoke so curtly to Christian, suddenly became silent when she realized the drastic change in Christian’s voice, Zwetta who had realized that Christian’s condition was not fine now looked worried.

“Eight months God has punished me, Zee. And during that time I was always haunted by such a huge guilt every night.” Christian told Zwetta the pain he was going through honesty and this was the first time Christian had spoken like that. “I’m sorry, I really want to apologize to Elena. At least before God takes my life, I want to kneel under Elena’s feet to ask for her forgiveness.”

Damn it!

Zwetta’s chest immediately felt so tight. Even though she doesn’t have much experience with the opposite sex, Zwetta has read an article that says if a man is crying then he is really speaking his heart out. And remembering that, Zwetta’s compassion suddenly appeared, the compassion that had previously been so strong on Elena Wilson and her family now shifted to Christian. Hearing Christian express his intention to apologize to Elena over and over again made the cold walls inside Zwetta crack.

When Zwetta was weighing her decision, she was suddenly startled by Christian who immediately got up from his chair.

“Thank you, Zee. Thank you for the help you have given Suri and me repeatedly, paying you with gold and diamonds may not be enough. That’s why I want to give you the freedom to determine the reward you want,” said Christian slowly, handing Zweta a silver key. “It’s the key to a safe in one of the best banks in Switzerland, you can take whatever you want from that safe.”
