Simon's Bride
69. Know the truth

Anna looked at her locked cabin for the last time before getting into the back seat of the taxi car she ordered. He would go to see Nuella's tomb, as well as see the White Clouds parlour, where he and Nuella met and were raised before being adopted by the Barnes family.

After sitting down and the car started speeding, Anna glanced towards the phone she had in her hand. As of this morning, no messages or calls came in from Simon. Anna gave up waiting and checked the phone screen. He finally put it in his bag.

Jhon who saw a taxi just came out of the entrance of Anna's house immediately turned and followed. He only intended to pass by and take a photo of the condition of the cottage this morning as a report for Simon. John knew his friend was happy when he sent word about Anna, a kind of vitamin for Simon's mood that must still be worried about Hamilton's state.

Jhon keeps a safe distance from the taxi that carried Anna. He suspected Anna might want to take a walk, or visit a friend.

However, the further he followed, the more doubt pervaded his heart. The route taken by Anna's taxi is a line that will end at another part of the island, where White sand bay airport is located.

Does he want to go? Whither?

Jhon becomes more convinced when Anna's taxi enters the airport.

Holding his phone, Jhon immediately called Simon.

"Yes, Jhon?"

"Am I interrupting?"

"No. What's up, Jhon?"

"Where are you?"

"Still in the hospital. What was? Did you see Anna this morning?"

"At the hospital? Is Uncle Hamilton still-"

"Jhon, Uncle Hamilton's development was very good, we just waited for him to wake up. Now tell me, why are you calling?"

"Thank God. I'm following the teacher."

"following?"

"Yes. He's headed for the airport .. ah, he's up."

"Airport!? Where's he going?"

"Wait on! I'll talk to him."

Jhon immediately turned off the phone. Closer to Ann's taxi. Anna stood on the sidewalk, waiting for her travel bag to be dropped off by the taxi driver.

"Ann!" call Jhon while opening his car glass.

Anna frowned. "Jhon? Aren't you Jhon?"

"Yes. Can we talk? I'll park first. Please wait a minute."

"Oh, emmm .. fine."

Anna waited for a few minutes, until Jhon finally came. They shake hands, Anna smiles and thinks that Jhon happens to have business at the airport and sees her.

"Are you picking someone up?" ask Anna. Seeing that Jhon was not carrying a bag or anything, so Jhon was unlikely to come there because he was going to travel.

"Emm .. yes. In-he has not arrived," said Jhon. Decided to lie a little about the reason he was there.

"Are you going?" John pointed to Anna's travel bag.

"Yes. I'm going to visit the small town of White Clouds. You know that place?"

Jhon. "Ah, summer vacation there?" ask Jhon for a little chat.

Anna nodded. "There's a little business. I'm going to visit my sister."

"Oh. He must be glad you came."

"Emm, Ann .. since we met here, I happen to have something to say."

Anna glanced at her watch, she still had time.

"It won't be long, Ann. It's about Simon that night. At the bar ..."

"Ah ... is that .. are you there too?" Anna frowned, remembering if she had ever seen John that night.

"Yes. Jean and I didn't mean to steal your argument. But ... Simon came there because I was the one who told him that you were there with your friends. He got so angry watching you dance with Zach. Sorry ...."

Anna frowned. "Jean? Jean came there with you? Not with Simon?"

John looked at Anna's shocked face. The woman instead focused on the news that it was John who called Simon, but instead asked about Jean. A little understanding flashed through Jhon's mind.

"No. Simon came there because I called him. Jean came to the bar with me, and Mindy was my sister. Not with Simon. If you see him swinging on Simon's arm, don't believe him. Jean just used Simon to provoke someone. We have known each other since we were teenagers. I know exactly who Jean's target is." John laughed a little.

Anna was seen biting her lower lip.

"On the angry Simon, I think you know the trigger ..he's a possessive man, he doesn't like to see the woman he loves in the arms of another man. I guess ... she also didn't realize when her lips cursed you ...."

Anna was bowed, stunned to hear Jhon say that Simon loved her. Ann's hand clasped tightly onto the strap of the bag slung over her shoulder before she looked back at the clockwork on her wrist.

"Thank you for telling me everything, Jhon. It's time, I have to leave now."

"Sure, be careful."

Anna nodded, then started to step while dragging her travel bag.

"Ann!" Jhon. There's still something he wants to say.

Anna turned around, looking towards Jhon.

"Maybe you want to know why Leon and Simon haven't seen you in days?"

Anna nodded.

"They're home. Uncle Hamilton is sick. He had a brain surgery yesterday. The last news, he has not been aware, although the development is good after the operation."

Anna's face paled. He stood stiff in his place.

"Go, Ann. You'll be late!" exclaim Jhon.

Like a robot taking orders, Anna turned around and returned to her feet.

What kind of friend are you, Ann! He and his son are always there when you need them! He helped you without your asking .. And now, when they are sad, let alone give you support or comfort! You don't even know!

Jhon exhaled, he felt relieved and satisfied. Anna's expression gave her confidence that the woman also had similar feelings for Simon. The woman just hasn't admitted it.

Picking up the phone, Jhon took a few pictures of Anna from behind. The woman's back with a small bag on her left shoulder and her right hand dragging her traveling bag.

"This is the last picture of me, my friend" whispered John, sending the whole picture to Simon.
