A Moment in Destiny

Silence, a long silence, it was so long that she thought that he would not send her a message. Suddenly a message was received.

William: Do you hate me?

Hate?

Sherry asked herself. It was a negotiated contract so why should she hate him? She didn’t know if she should hate him or hate herself! But in these five years, this kind of separation from her child caused her to be extremely hurt. She didn’t hate him for taking away her child but she hated him for doing it again five years later. She took a deep breath and replied.

Sherry: Hate!

After a long while, a message was received.

William: Go to sleep!

She looked at the phone in a blank and no messages came after that. She didn’t know what he meant. Was he angry because of her reply that she hated him and didn’t allow her to see her child anymore?

Sherry started to ponder deeply. He said for her to be his lover for life. This was a long, long time until death. Should she accept? He said that he can let his child spend time with her but this was the only request!

In the dim bar, William sat in a corner holding onto his phone. The other hand was holding onto a cigarette. He was entirely lethargic and dispirited but maintained his overbearing attitude.

“Will, you are very different recently!” Liam raised his glass, “You seem so distracted!”

“Don’t you have anything to do?” William said softly, coldly but emotionlessly.

“Heh! So you guys are here!” Suddenly a quiet and exquisite voice interjected.

The two of them looked up at the same time and Sarah Brooks was smiling radiantly towards them. She wore a dense pattern T-shirt and looked like a little girl. She wore grey colored jeans and a pair of canvas shoes. When she appeared at that dimly lit bar, she ruined her clean image of a girl next door.

“When did you come back?” Liam was puzzled and totally didn’t expected it, “didn’t you tell dad and mom that you’re not coming back?”

“I just came back and didn’t see you, so I came here to try my luck!” Sarah said and sat down.

“You brother and sister have a good chat, I’m leaving!” William’s raspy voice revealed a trace of emotion, stood up and winked at Sarah.

“William, you’re leaving now?”

“Wasn’t this what you wanted?” William said and left.

Liam frowned, “What do you want?”

“Thanks! William.”

“Hey! What do you mean?” Liam was frustrated, “Don’t come here next time. It’s not a good place. Come, let’s go back!”

“But don’t you come regularly?” Sarah couldn’t tolerate his nagging, “You can come but I can’t?”

“I don’t allow you to come!” Liam yelled, “Go home!”

“Take me home!” Sarah immediately grabbed Liam’s arm, “Bro, actually I don’t like this environment at all!”
