The Undefined Love

Deming was happy to know the new fact he had discovered. He never knew that fate could be this strong. Twelve years ago, he met the little girl because of his fate, to whom he has promised to return back. He returned, but was misled in the course of searching her to the extent that he took some other woman as the one he was searching for. But still his heart found the one it really desired for. For the one for whom it longed for ten whole years. It was fate. Being together like this was their destiny. But he never thought that she would hide from him like this. Knowing that they had known each other from years ago, she will choose to be like strangers. He looked at her and tried to think of the reasons that made her be like this. If he remembers it right, in their childhood she was the one who asked him to return back soon. Her face was all drenched in tears when he told her that he would be leaving to a different country for studying. It was her who said it first that she will always wait for his return. Then why did she hide such a big thing from him. He looked at her face which has now again put up the mask to hide her real expressions. The true surprised smile which she was having moments before has now turned into a smile that was just a facade to hide the identity of the little girl. Lifen chided herself for being so careless. She has just given out when she already knew that he has been suspicious of her. She turned to look at him to inspect if she has lost the game or is there still something left in her hands. To her relief, Deming was all lost in his thoughts, not paying much attention to her. Little did she know that he was on in his game too. Now there is no way he would give her any guess to think that her secret is out until he gets his hands on any firm evidence that can prove her to be the little girl. And he knew that would be really soon. His men were already at work. Since he already got the answer he just has to link it with the question. "Ahh! Can't you say that directly that you want your daughter to look more like the little girl Ms. Long was in her childhood?" she tried to get herself more certain to measure if the man has reached the depths or not. Deming smiled at her words and then said, "That would have ruined your mood. And more specifically, I like the innocent little girl, not the woman, Long Jie." "Ohh, I never thought you would be such a deep thinker", she said as she smiled. 'Thank Gog, it's still safe. Just a few days more and I, myself will reveal everything to him', she thought. "Okay now since we have discussed everything please let me go. It's not comfortable this way and I still need to ask you something", she said realizing that she was still sitting on his lap. Deming looked at her face, where she was making some funny expressions, amile and then let her go. She quickly stood up and then sat beside him. Her eyes hinted at curiosity when she turned to look at him. His thoughts again travelled in the past thinking of the little girl whose eyes also held curiosity whenever she came with her list of questions. "What is it?", he asked. Lifen looked at him and then thought of a right way to present her questions. "Umm I am curious, if you are leaving early tomorrow?" "Are you trying to set me out from this friend's wedding plan. I have come to accompany you, leaving all my important meetings but still you are being so insensitive towards me", he asked, raising his brows. Though his expressions were taunting her but the tone he used to say those words clearly declared him as the victim. "Hey! I never said that. I just heard the news back from the country. So I thought you would be going back to rescue your damsel in distress, like you have done always. Why are you making me feel like I am the one bullying you?" she asked, pursing her lips. "Who is damsel in distress and why would I go and save her wasting the precious time I can spend with my woman?", he asked, feigning lack of knowledge. Lifen narrowed her eye on him. Her expression clearly warned him to not mess with her like this. Looking at her face with such expression, Deming clearly felt that his decision for naming her 'cat' wasn't wrong. With an expression like that she truly looked like one. He let out a loud chuckle at his own thoughts. "You … What are you laughing at?" "You asked me before the reason for calling Little Cat. I can give you one now. Wait a second", he quickly picked his cell phone up from the table and snapped a picture of her without waiting for another second. "Here, look this is the reason. You are my own little cat", he said, handing her the phone to look at the picture he has snapped of her. "You…" "Fine, fine. Tell me about whom are you talking about? Whom should I rescue?" he asked to distract her anger. "It's the one whom you have promised to protect. She is facing cruel investigations back in the country. Won't you go and help her this time she asked as he looked at him. She thought there would be some change in his expressions, like some type to anxiousness. But to her real surprise, there was no change on his face. He looked all cool and normal as if he never cared for the woman he was talking about. "Hey, did you even hear my words?" she half yelled at him. Her fear from before was rising again in her heart. "Yes, I have heard it. But what about it? They have been investigating her and her family. It's something that's going according to law. How should interrupt it? There is nothing I could in that case", he said with extreme nonchalance. Things going according to law that he couldn't interrupt! What was he talking about? Is he taking her for a fool? Though she doesn't know his past that deeply to know the deep history of TULIP HYDE PARK. But she knew very well that in Country A, he rules like a king. Business, politics and underworld was everything under his control. "Are you taking me as a fool? Whom are you fooling around? What law are you talking about? I know very well how you generally deal in your business and the things in the country. So tell me why are you ignoring this like that. Didn't you promise her to help her and protect her?" she asked. Deming looked at her and thought in his mind, 'This girl is really provoking me to come at the edge and reveal that I already knew the truth. So come and tell me the reason why did you hide it from me' He closed his eyes to take a deep breath to calm his nerves down. Opening his eyes, he looked at her and gave a small snickered laugh, "When did I promise something like that to her? I never promised her anything" "What do you mean?" she asked. Her heart twitched thinking he has already known something she doesn't want him to know yet. "My words exactly mean the same as it was said, Little Cat. Do you want me to be more clear with you?", his eyes were now glaring at her like accusing her for something. And she has an air of reason. An idea of that reason made her heart clench tighter. She shook her head in denial. "No, it's okay. It's your decision. I don't want to know any reason. I will just go and check the mails on my laptop", she said and hurriedly stood up to run off. But this was not the time. She was halted in her steps when she heard his deep scorning voice, "She was not the one to whom I had promised those words. She has never been the one, just pretending to be her" Her body instantly went stiff at his words. She was right. He has found out everything and now it was her turn to explain herself to him, her reasons that made her hide the truth from him. But she wasn't prepared for this. There were no words in her mind that could make him understand her side. She didn't turn to look at him, there was no strength left in her body that would help her face him. She was all lost in her own thoughts, thinking of the words that could explain her decision when she heard his words again, "Did you hear that, Little Cat? She isn't the one to whom I have promised. Don't you have something to say on this new revelation?"
