New Life : A Second Chance 648 Moving On

Sari continued to sit at the cafe, watching that figure leave until she could not see him anymore. She had seen how Sayuri had reached over and hugged Kyle's arm, looking up at him as they walked off.

For the first time since the break-up, Sari felt at peace.

Even though she was with Hamdan right now, she still thought about Kyle once in a while. Which was why she still kept tabs on him. One had said, that when you break up, a clean break is the best but somehow, she couldn't quite let go.

One couldn't just cut off the feelings one had and Sari had still been in love with Kyle when they broke up. Just because she had agreed to give Hamdan a chance didn't mean her feelings for Kyle had died.

Sari sighed, looking at her hands.

She was still with Hamdan and the 'honeymoon' phase had already ended. The cracks were beginning.

She had grown to love Hamdan though it was not the same as what she had felt for Kyle. No two loves are the same after all. The relations.h.i.+p was good but there were some things she was starting to be unhappy about. 

She remembered Sayuri's cutting words and she smiled bitterly. About how she only saw Kyle's mistakes and downplayed hers. Was she doing the same with Hamdan? It looks like she had to re-evaluate things again and work at the relations.h.i.+p before it was too late.

Sari believed that everyone who came into your life, came for a reason. 

Obviously, Kyle, Kay, and Sayuri were there to teach her about her shortcomings and how to improve. To show her about love and how to keep the relations.h.i.+p going. 

Thinking about Sayuri, Sari admitted that despite the cutting words, despite the pain, she was grateful. And in awe.

That was truly a woman worthy of Kyle. 

It wasn't because they truly looked perfect together, but she was everything that Kyle needed. Strong, straight-forward, and able to accept all of his flaws. More importantly, she trusted him on a level that was enviable.

Sari hoped Sayuri would be able to thaw that man's heart, and she believed that if anyone could do it, it would be her.

Sari thanked G.o.d that she met Sayuri. 

b.u.mping into Kyle had been a blessing indeed. 

Knowing that there was Sayuri beside him, she could finally let go and be at peace. 

It was time now to focus fully on Hamdan. He had been unhappy at the way she still kept abreast of Country Tz, even though she was no longer in contact with Kyle. 

Kyle had been the dark spot in Hamdan's life, and although he never forbade her or restricted her, she could see how unhappy he was. Yet, she never thought she was doing anything wrong since she was only reading about him.

Sari shook her head sadly.

It took the conversation with Sayuri to make her truly understand Hamdan's point of view. She quickly got up and rushed to go to Hamdan. She had a lot of making-up to do.

"Are you okay?" Sayuri asked Kyle, looking up at him while clinging onto his arm.

"Mhm," Kyle replied.

"Everything okay?" Sayuri continued to ask.

"Mmm," Kyle answered.

"Good," Sayuri said with a smile and leaned on him, "I'm glad."

"I want to get a tattoo," Kyle announced suddenly.

"Really? That's nice," Sayuri commented.

She then looked at the image on the phone that Kyle showed her and pursed her lips, "Where are you going to put this? On your back? Neck?"

"Shoulder and arm," Kyle replied.

"It's nice, but do you mind if I make a few adjustments?" Sayuri asked, "You don't have to use it if you don't like it."

"I know," Kyle said, "But I'm sure I would."

"Okay!" Sayuri said, and Kyle sent the image to her phone. She studied it further, thinking of the changes she was going to do. 

She felt that for Kyle, what would be better suited was one that would be much simpler in design. The current one that he showed had a wide wing-span, and the tail was rather 'bushy'. 

She would simplify the image, making the wings smaller and look like it would wrap Kyle's shoulder while the tail would be a simple elegant single 'hook'. 

Although she had said she would make a 'few' adjustments, she was actually doing quite a lot and changed it from its original image entirely. Just thinking about it made Sayuri feel so excited.

He would have, permanently inked on him, something she had drawn.

Stephan was feeling moody.

He looked at the empty apartment and sighed deeply.

He knew, in his heart, that what Kyle had done was the best and he was grateful to him for being able to protect his children but he didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that they seemed to be going further and further away from him.

He took out his wallet and opened it, gazing at the picture of his late wife in it.

He put his fingers on her smiling face, imagining his fingertips caressing her face.

His heart was so full of regrets. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

He loved her deeply, and now, she was no longer around. He thought he had more time, but alas, it wasn't to be. 

"I miss you," he said softly.

He knew that she had been hurt deeply by his lack of physical intimacy with her, and that just made him more afraid. Afraid that she would leave him if she ever knew the truth.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.

Yet, instead of seeking treatment or talking to her about it, he had brushed it aside and put it down to him being stressed at work. 

It would get better, he thought.

It didn't.
