Semua Bab MY UTOPIA : Bab 1 - Bab 10

CLAIRE I approached the mirror with care, pausing for a final look at my outfit—it is my most beloved dress. The dark circles under my eyes from the overnight rehearsal didn't come as a much surprise . "It better be worth it," I murmured softly to myself.As I debated whether to keep my hair in a bun or let it cascade over my shoulders, my phone rang, playing "Heartbeat" by Christina Perri. I smiled nervously, knowing exactly who was calling and that he was close by. With a chuckle, I answered the call, my nerves palpable."Hey Sydney! Are you ready?" Philip's voice buzzed with excitement over the phone."Yeah... I guess I am," I replied softly."Hey? What's wrong?" His excitement faded as concern crept into his tone.Sometimes I wonder what good I had done in my past life to come across someone as sweet as he is ."Um... nothing... I just don't...""Come on, spill it already," he interrupted impatiently."Okay... fine. What if this is a wrong decision? What if I get there and I don'

PHILIP The moment I saw her standing outside, looking dejected, I sighed slowly. I know it didn't go as planned. Oh, good lord, I hate seeing her sad.I alighted from the car and shouted, "Hey Sydney!" as I walked closer to where she is standing. She looked up at me and ran straight into my arms, sobbing, and I could feel the coldness of her tears dampening my shirt.I wrapped my arms around her and started patting her gently, and we remained like that for a while."I'm sorry for ruining your shirt," she said, pointing at my already tear-soaked clothes.I chuckled lightly."We should get going; it's getting late," I responded, and she smiled gently as we both walked towards the car. I opened the passenger's seat, and she hopped in, muttering "thank you" gently.I walked over to the driver's seat after she had settled in, reached over to the parcel on the chair in the backseat, and brought it to her face.She giggled, and I smiled. It's nice to finally see her smile."A promise is a p

ETHANChuckling lightly as she glared at me, I could tell she was cursing me in her mind. After the other day at the market, her hatred for me has grown really tall, and I find that amusing. I like the way she reacts whenever I get on her nerves, and it makes me want to do more.Mathew rushed out of his office and started telling all the customers to leave. Claire and I both stared at him curiously. What's going on? Two big vehicles with dark-tinted glasses parked in front of the restaurant. One of the vehicles looks like that of an escort, and at that point, I realized what was going on.My insides started churning with anger. Mathew successfully drove the customers away, and THAT MAN walked in, smiling at everybody until his gaze got to me, and he frowned."What are you doing here?" I asked coldly."Greetings first, young man! Don't be rude," he responds sternly.Mathew took Claire by the hand, and they both hurried away.He sat down and pointed to the chair in front of him. "Sit do

CLAIRE I glanced at him for the upteenth time , I'm still shocked the almighty Ethan is working hard and doing all the heavy lifting but don't get me wrong he's still the rude brat he has always been .He hasn't seen me for days and he ignored me the moment I walked into the Cafe .He's a cold annoying jerk !.I glanced towards his direction again and our eyes met , I immediately looked away .Whatever happened to him while I was away must be a good thing because he's been helpful since I got here in the morning.ETHAN I chuckled lightly the moment she looked away , I sighed nervously at how fragile and lean she looks .She must have been really sick but at least she's back now and that's a huge relief .Wait ! What? Why am I relieved she's okay now ? Why am I concerned ? She's my colleague so it's only right I worry ....it's not a big deal .'' If you keep staring at her like that she'll end up calling you a pervert." Micheal whispered into my ears and I glared at him." I'm no

ETHAN I opened my eye lids gently unsure of where I am but the sudden scream from a familiar voice woke me up ." Mom ?" I called gently " He's awake ! My son ! How do you feel ? What happened ?'' she asked touching me all over just to make sure I'm fine. I grabbed her hand gently and she paused her actions ." I'm okay mom .... please help me sit up " I responded finding it hard to do it on my own." No no you can't do that yet , you still need to rest for a while '' she responded shaking her head in disagreement. " Mom I need to ......" " The boy said he wants to sit up let him sit up " another very familiar husky voice responded .I looked up to see the presence I didn't notice was in the room and he has that cold stare on .My mum obeyed gently and helped me sit up , I held onto my head with my left hand as I felt a throbbing sharp pain in my head and I grunted with distress .Silence took over but I know that's definitely not the end , that man always have something to say .
