BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 119&120
★★★★★
★SOUR & SILENT GOODBYE★
TWO WEEKS LATER, MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**
“Did you get your gown for the wedding already?” Polly asked Echo who seems dull.
She has been dull, Reece is still in the hospital, still unconscious.
Tommorow is Asbel and Kimberley’s wedding.
“Mum got it for me” she replied sullenly and Bae held her hand.
“Reece will be fine, the doctor confirmed that he’s responding to treatment so cheer up” she said.
“I’ll try” Echo smiled lightly and Izzy faced Quincy who looks sad.
“Are you still feeling guilty that Clara died cos of Genny?” She asked and Quincy sighed.
“Not only that” Quincy replied.
“Then?”
“Genny,he looks withdrawn seriously, you guys don’t notice?, He hasn’t been talking as usual, and did you notice he became thinner?, His face looks sick and…
Trinidad held her face.
“It’s because of what he’s feeling, I’m sure he must still be feeling guilty cos of Clara’s death, he’ll come around trust me” she said.
“But Quincy are you sure you’re ok too?, Your eyeballs look whiter than usual, and your palms too, I’ve been noticing” Bae said.
“Kimberly said same thing too, we’re gonna go for check-up after her wedding tommorow” Quincy replied.
“Gosh!, Test is starting next week, who has been reading?” Polly asked.
“No one” Izzy replied for everyone.
“I’m glad you have a boyfriend to call yours now, Travis is handsome and popular too” Izzy said and Polly smiled.
“I’m glad too, I left single life and also… Molly will possibly be released soon” she said.
“Really?” Quincy asked quickly.
“Trust me, her appeal was set for tomorrow” Polly replied.
“Meaning you won’t be attending Kimberley’s wedding” Echo said.
“I’m sorry” Polly said.
“It’s fine” Trinidad replied.
*****
Genny is sitting at the rooftop, crying slowly.
Since he got the result two weeks ago, his life has been melting away like ice and right now, he thinks the depression will ki|| him faster than the cancer itself.
He has just been forcing himself to eat and he’s aware that he lost weight and got thinner.
He cries like this anytime he’s alone.
If only he knew, he’d have gone for test since he started getting the signs ending last year.
He ignored it, thinking it’s normal till it aggravated this year but he still didn’t go for check-up.
“How could I be so stupid?” He thought.
Thinking about Quincy brought more tears to his eyes.
How will the poor girl survive.
Say after she found love, the love didn’t even last long.
She’ll lose it completely and he refuses to imagine what she’ll do to herself.
Then Gennie, Gennie will surely cry a river.
May will almost wanna die and Max will surely cry his eyes out.
Craig?, Reece?, Travis?, Red? And the girls, how will they cope?
What’ll happen to SUGAR BOYS?, how will ANJELLS feel?
What’ll happen to all his loved ones.
Instead of staying and letting them get the hunches and intuitions about his ailment, he came to a conclusion.
Silent goodbye.
He suddenly heard movements behind himself and quickly wiped his tears.
“Genny!” Gennie’s voice said and he quickly stood, facing him.
“What happened to your face?, I said it!, You’re not ok!, Tell me what’s wrong!, Why are you crying here Genova, tell me!!” He said, shaking him.
“Gennie…” Genny said sadly, looking into his eyes.
“I guess you won’t have to use beret so people will know you apart from me anymore, You’ll be the only twin soon” he thought.
“Talk to me!” Gennie said, crying already too.
Genny hugged him and they both started crying.
“Tell me what’s wrong with you Genny, you know I love you right?, Talk to me Nova” Gennie cried and that only made Genny cry more.
******
NEXT DAY, KIMBERLEY’S WEDDING**
“Is Quincy here already?” Genny asked as he came in with the guys.
“Yes, she’s with the bride in her dressing room” Echo replied.
The guys went to the dressing room to congratulate pretty Kimberly then to Asbel’s room too.
Quincy held Genny and took her out of the room.
“You’re becoming thicker and your eyes…” He said, looking at her closely.
“I’ll go for test after this wedding I promise” she said.
“Was just about to say that” he said and she hugged him.
“You became thinner, is it because of Clara?, I understand how you feel but can you reduce the rate at which you think?, Please” she said.
“I’ll do that, you can come spend the night at my place tonight right?” He asked.
“Sure, but promise me you’ll smile for me” she said.
“Promise, I love you” he smiled.
“I love you more” she replied.
When they all finally returned to the hall, everyone settled down and a friend of Asbel who’s the MC announced the entry of the bride.
Asbel is standing at the end of the lane already, waiting with a smile.
Kimberly appeared with Antonio, yeah he came to stand as her dad.
“Finally I got to see your wedding, one of my wishes came true” Quincy smiled.
She surely won’t be able to manage her anymore so she’ll have to find another manager.
Quincy is already missing her, all her success as a model are thanks to Kimberly.
Tears fell from her eyes as she watched Antonio hand Kimberly over to Asbel .
Mrs Han couldn’t hide her joy, finally her first and only son got married to a woman he loves.. just like her late husband wished.
Echo smiled when Asbel finally kissed Kimberly after the vows.
“Finally a happy day to reminisce about” she smiled and they all clapped as the couple sealed the bond.
******
COURT**
Polly came out with Molly who’s looking so pale but happy.
The court decided to release her, the appeal worked and Polly couldn’t be more happy.
They faced each other and Polly started arranging Molly’s hair.
“It must have been so hard in there, sorry for not coming to check on you” she said.
Molly hugged her tightly and Polly did the same.
“I’m so sorry” Molly cried.
“It’s ok, it’s ok Mollyanna” Polly said, stroking her hair.
“I’m sorry Polly” she pleaded again, hugging her more tightly.
Interrogator Ha Jin watched from the door with Twinkle, smiling as he did.
“I’m glad she got released” Twinkle said.
“Let’s go son” Ha Jin led the way and Twinkle took another look at the reconciling twins before following his dad.
******
6PM, HOSPITAL**
“How long will the test results take to come out?” Quincy asked as she waited for her test results with Bae.
“Three minutes?” Bae replied.
“What could it be?” Quincy wondered.
“I’m actually thinking of something but let’s wait for the results” Bae replied and Quincy nodded.
The doctor came out all smiles and handed the result to Quincy.
Quincy opened it curiously.
“OMG!!!!!!, Bae I’m carrying a baby!!!, Bae I’m gonna become a mother at 21!, I’m pregnant!!” She screamed.
“Yes, six weeks pregnant” the doctor replied.
“f_ck this is great news!, Just what I was thinking” Bae said.
“Congratulations Miss Quincy” the doctor smiled.
“Thanks doctor!” She replied and he left them.
“Yes!, Am I gonna take leave of absence from school now?” Quincy said, rubbing her stomach.
“Of course, get it fast so you’ll have time to rest, no stress for our twin” Bae said happily.
“I badly want twins, I’ll be so happy!, Can’t wait to inform dad and my sunshine!”
******
NIGHT, THE TWINS MANSION**
Genny and Quincy are currently in his room, hugging each other on the bed.
They finished eating dinner an hour ago and after watching TV with Gennie and Izzy in the living room, they decided to come to bed.
“Genny” she suddenly called.
“You’ve been smiling more than usual, is something up?” He asked.
She pecked his lips and he smiled.
“I have a gooood news, I’ll tell you tommorow morning” she said happily.
“What is it I’m curious?” He asked.
“Wait till tommorow morning sunshine, be in suspense” she said and he pulled her closer.
“Take care of yourself ok?” He said.
“I’ve always done that but you did most of it” she replied.
“Always dress heavily to bed, you know you’re not tolerant to cold, don’t enter the rain, don’t ever” he said and she kept looking at him.
“Always stay warm and don’t miss me” he said.
“Why are you.. suddenly scaring me?” She asked slowly.
He smiled and kissed her forehead.
“I love you so much pink, I swear it I love you” he said.
“I love you more sunshine” she smiled and dipped her face in his chest.
“Sing me a lullaby” she said.
Genny smiled and sighed before remembering one.
? All the stars in the sky, can’t shine brighter than you at night
? You shine brighter than the moon.
? You beautify my dark night, with your shinny charm.
? I fall, more deeply, more helplessly
? For you, you oh
? Fall asleep in my arms
? I’ll send you to bed with a kiss
? I’ll protect you throughout the night
? I’ll watch you sleep, watch you move your cute lips.
? Watch you call out my name
? Hold your hand
? And make you smile.
? In your sleep…pink..
She’s sleeping already when he finished and he’s already crying.
She covered her very well and got down from the bed then he sat on the dressing table.
He got a pen and note, he wrote tearfully.
He’s the first to wake up the next morning.
He took his bath and packed a small bag after dressing up.
He kissed Quincy’s forehead gently.
“I love you” he whispered and left the room.
He left the house completely and branched the hospital to see unconscious Reece.
“I came to say goodbye…. get well soon” he said only that and left.
His flight is 8am so he left the airport immediately.
He went on board and Immediately he sat on his seat, tears filled his eyes again.
*****
Quincy touched the other side of the bed but couldn’t find him.
She wriggled and opened her eyes then sat up.
“Where did he go?” She wondered and got down from the bed.
She walked to the bathroom but he’s not there.
“Is he making breakfast already?, Am I getting breakfast in bed?” She smiled and made to go out but she noticed a note and pen on the dressing table.
She slowly went for it and took the note.
★I LOVE YOU EUNJI, I BADLY WANNA STAY WITH YOU BUT MAYBE FATE HAS OTHER PLANS, RATHER THAN SAY A SORROWFUL GOODBYE, I’D RATHER SAY A SILENT ONE, PLEASE FORGET ME, I HAVE JUST A YEAR TO LIVE, I’LL LIVE IT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY AND BEAR MY SORROWS ALONE TILL I DIE★
Your Sunshine.
Quincy shook as she took the second paper, the test results.
He even left his phone.
“Genny you can’t do this to me. .. no it’s not possible…. Genny!!!” She rushed out of the room in tears and met Izzy and Gennie just coming out.
“Quincy what’s…
She didn’t wait for them.
She threw down the papers and ran out of the house.
Gennie picked the test result while Izzy picked the letter.
They looked at each other and ran after her.
Quincy met Antonio outside but didn’t even see him.
She rushed into her car.
“Quincy!!” Antonio called as she drove off crazily.
She got to the airport and jumped down from the car, rushing to the counter.
“Did any flight leave this morning?” She asked shakily.
“Yes, 8am” one of the ladies replied and Quincy fell on her knees.
“Genny I’m carrying your baby!!, No….no I can’t do it alone!!!, I’m gonna die!!!” She cried uncontrollably.
Antonio appeared with Izzy and Gennie and as they tried to carry her, she kept slipping on the ground from them.
“Dad I’m carrying our baby!, He promised not to leave me!, He said it’s always and forever!, He promised to always stay!, Gennie he said he has plans of three babies with me, Izzy he loves me ..he can’t do this to me no…. Genny please come back!!!” She cried again.
People are making videos already and Izzy is crying as hard as her.
Quincy continued crying as Gennie and her dad tried to carry her, she kept rolling on the ground.
When she finally thought she has found love, when she thought she has gotten to the final stop, when she thought it’s all over…then this happened.
Quincy it’s a dream right?, My illusion….yeah my illusion.
Gennie and Antonio finally succeeded in pulling her up but immediately she stood on her foot, everything went blank and she lost consciousness.
“Quincy!!!” Izzy screamed.
“Call an ambulance!!” Antonio cried.
