Chapter 4

Levi was smiling while driving because he saw in Cameron’s eyes the happiness because of everything that happened the whole day. Just like him, his fiancée was happy beyond words that could be described.

Cameron faced him with a wide smile on her face.

“Yes, I am very happy,” Cameron replied as she looked at him. Excitement was all over her face.

There was a sparkle in the woman’s eyes.

“I am sure you received a lot of messages from your colleagues and calls,” he said.

“Yes, you know. It’s just a dream come true. You made my dreams come true,” she said and the joy in her voice couldn’t be denied. He even saw the woman kiss the engagement ring that he gave to her.

“Really? Is it really your dream? To marry me?”

“Yes, of course but my dream that I am talking about was to marry a famous man. I always dreamt of having a man that would be declaring his love for me in public and then propose to me in front of the crowd,” she said as she tried to recall everything that Levi did for her. “Today, that finally happened. You proposed to me in public and that’s via live telecast! What else could I ask for? Oh, babe. You just don’t know how I felt at that moment. I felt like I was on cloud nine. I know that there are a lot of women who envied me,” she said and then giggled.

“This is what I really wanted to do. I wanted to let everyone know how lucky I am to be your future husband. I want them to know that I am the one that was blessed because I have you in my life. I know and I could feel that you will always be there for me to support me in every decision that I will be making in my life, right?” Levi said and he was trying his best not to get too emotional.

“Of course, every time that you will be joining any competition, I will always be there for you. I will just be by your side,” she said and clung her arms to his arms.

“Thank you, babe because I believe in what they say that behind the success of a man is a woman,” Levi said and then looked at her as he stopped the car because of the red light.

He turned his head to the woman who was still staring at the diamond ring that he gave to her earlier when he proposed.

“Babe, what if I don’t join the competition? Or what if something happened and it stopped me from joining the Olympics? Will you still by my side? Will you still love me?” He asked out of the blue to the woman.

But Levi didn’t expect Cameron’s reaction. Her face suddenly flushed. Her eyebrows were raised, and the woman was looking at him. “What are you talking about, babe? I know that wouldn’t happen because you wouldn’t let that happen, right? There’s no way that you cannot join the contest. You should join the Olympic competition no matter what, okay? You are a well-known swimmer and you have already won a lot of medals and trophies so what else is going to stop you?” She said and he could feel that the woman was just trying to keep her emotions towards him.

Levi couldn’t help but just nod after he heard what his girlfriend said. He was thankful that it was already a green light, so he started to drive the car away. He focused his eyes on the road while he was thinking about the things that Cameron said to him earlier.

He didn’t know why but he felt like it wasn’t the answer that he wanted to hear from Cameron. Those were not the words that he was expecting to hear from the woman.

He admitted that he felt disappointed because of Cameron’s reply. He was not satisfied with her answer, but he was still happy and he would just ignore that. Why did he even ask that kind of question? Goodness. And he should understand that there’s no woman who wants her man to fail. And probably Cameron didn’t want to think that something might happen to him.

The good thing was that he made her happy because this was one of the woman’s dreams and he made it come true.

It didn’t take a while and they finally reached Cameron’s place. Her parents congratulate him for winning the competition and also for being engaged to their daughter.

Levi stayed for a little while at her house until he decided to get back home because it was already getting late. If it was only possible for him to sleep in her place, he should have stayed but he needed to respect her.

He promised himself that he wouldn’t be doing what he had done before with Amelia. They were young and naive at that time. Though he couldn’t deny that he had been happy that time because he was the first man in Amelia’s life. And, he had no idea what really happened to the woman because she just suddenly disappeared. He was even thinking if he got her pregnant but that was so impossible because it never happened again.

Levi just left Cameron’s place and he was still just a few metres away from their subdivision when a dump truck approached his direction, and it was already too late for him to pull the car going in a different direction. He tried to turn it on the other side, but he got bumped into the other car from the other lane.

A loud thud was heard and the next thing that he knew was he heard a sound of the ambulance and then he lost his consciousness.
