After this day, Samuel never received any messages about Kaliyah.
He felt contradictory. He couldn't help but inquire about the information about her, but he restrained his impulse of doing so given his dignity.
Even Kurosawa was aware of his dilemma.
"You acted as if your wife left you recently." When they met, Kurosawa remarked on Samuel, "You look livid."
Samuel was unhappy. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't you especially want to know the news of Kaliyah?"
Kurosawa grabbed the cue and grinned. "I'm just waiting."
Samuel felt something wrong. "Wait for what?"
"When you can't bear it, ask me pitifully, 'what is Kaliyah doing recently'."
Kurosawa deliberately imitated in a miserable way. After that, he hugged the cue and laughed, bending down his waist. "Samuel, admit it. You actually already wanted to inquire about her information!"
"If I want to know her news, do I still need--" Samuel gnashed his teeth. "--to ask you?"
"Yeah." Kurosawa looked around, pretending to enjoy at the surrounding scenery. "I don't know who is the timid man. After abandoned by Kaliyah, he actually lost the courage to inquire about her news."
Samuel's heart stung. He suddenly recalled her eyes the last time he watched her leave.
Those desperate and sad eyes.
Her thin and lonely back.
Samuel thought, he was powerful enough to force such an outgoing girl to be so helpless.
But she was the one starting chasing after him. She chose to do this randomly and chose to stop it at will.
Now that it ended, he should not take it serious.
Why now...
