Chapter 142: He's Like A God
The morning breeze lifted her white dress, causing it to flutter like a lonely flower in the wind. She ran for quite some time, losing her shoes and nearly falling.
"Dad, stop the car! Cheyenne is back there," Benson yelled.
Upon hearing this, his father quickly hit the brakes and turned to see a beautiful young girl following behind them.
He liked Cheyenne very much and immediately backed up the car so Benson could say goodbye to her.
"Why are you leaving?" asked Cheyenne.
Benson picked up the shoes she had lost and handed them to her. He looked like a little adult as he patted her head seriously. "My mom said I can't let anything affect my studies, so I have to go to Dodon." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Where's Dodon? Is it far away?" she asked with pouty lips and watery eyes looking up at him.
"I don't know. Maybe it's far," replied Benson with shame in his eyes. He had helped Nora bully Cheyenne before but now felt guilty about it. He held out three fingers as he promised. "Cheyenne, I will write you letters."
"Alright, it's a deal," she agreed. "We need to keep our word, who break it is a puppy!"
The young girl finally went from tears to laughter, taking his hand and giving him her favorite seashell as a token of their agreement.
"Deal."
As the memories faded, Benson, who had always been a handsome young boy, grew up to have a striking and dazzling appearance, easily rivaling today's idols.
"Now that you mention it, I remember you're Nora. By the way, I came to see Cheyenne. Where is she?" he inquired.
"I'm right here!" called out Cheyenne weakly from inside the house.
"You've lost weight," observed Benson gently after placing his warm hand on Cheyenne's face for awhile before sighing softly.
"I've been busy lately... why did you come here today?" questioned an excited-looking Cheyenne while Kate helped bring him into sit down on a chair next to them both..
"I heard about your accident in the news and immediately asked Mr. Lara for your whereabouts. That's why I rushed here."
It turned out that Omari, that guy, had spilled the beans.
When he returned, she was definitely going to give him a piece of her mind!
Benson and Cheyenne chatted as if they were old friends, leaving Nora feeling completely sidelined, like she was invisible to everyone around her.
She clenched her teeth in frustration, holding Sean's hand as they walked away.
Simultaneously, a sense of curiosity crept into her mind. The Gibbs family had moved away from Akloit years ago, and there had been no contact since.
Why was Benson so familiar with Cheyenne?
Little did she know, the Gibbs family had indeed relocated to Dodon, but Benson and Cheyenne had kept in touch through letters all along.
Initially, their correspondence consisted of sharing recent events and discoveries of delicious food or fun activities. But when Benson started high school and developed a crush on a girl, he confided in Cheyenne through his letters. She even gave him advice on how to pursue his love interest.
Cheyenne also confided in Benson about her own crush on Kelvin, making him the first person to know about it. He encouraged her to be brave and pursue her own love interest as well.
Unfortunately, neither of them found lasting love at that time. In college, Benson became obsessed with his music world and neglected his romantic relationships. His girlfriend couldn't handle his indifference and ended up with one of his good friends instead.
Feeling heartbroken for the first time in life, he thought of Cheyenne who always knew how to cheer him up. It had been ten years since they last saw each other face-to-face.
When he jokingly sent her pictures of alcohol bottles asking what it would feel like if he drank them all.
After a minute passed by, she replied, "It feels like you're looking for death!"
He teased her for being so harsh when he needed comfort after losing someone dear to him.
"Drink up; I'll drink with you," she said reassuringly before sending him a picture filled with beer bottles from inside a bar where she was currently hanging out!
The two immaturely competed against each other over drinking games online until they finished all their drinks while exchanging pictures as proof!
Benson had always been disciplined, and he didn't have much tolerance for alcohol. He was already drunk after just three bottles.
Cheyenne proudly declared herself as the winner after consuming ten beers! "You lost. You should head back and get some sleep. You're not quite the person I remember," she remarked.
He wondered what her old impression of him had been like.
He still remembered vividly what she replied back then, "Probably like feeling visited by God tonight." That statement inspired him so much that even though half-drunk; he wrote down lyrics which turned into one song titled "He's Like A God" - something that made both proud!
Their pen pal relationship evolved into becoming best friends after drinking together virtually!
Cheyenne had many choices in her life, and Benson gave her advice and guidance. He was not only a friend but also a brother to her.
Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years, they still communicated through letters. The sincere communication between them made Benson feel that Cheyenne was the best person in the world.
At eighteen, she married Kelvin but was left alone on their wedding night. The first person she thought of was Benson. She just wanted to vent her frustration and disappointment to him.
To her surprise, Benson asked if she wanted to see him after all these years of correspondence. His voice over the phone was clear and magnetic like a cello playing in G major.
"You're kidding me? You're in Dodon, I'm in Akloit; we are more than six hundred kilometers apart," Cheyenne replied with laughter.
Benson laughed as well and said, "So what? We are both suffering from the same problem. When I broke up with my girlfriend, you were there drinking with me, so today, I'm returning the favor."
"Okay then," Cheyenne agreed playfully.
That night, Benson packed his bags and put on a white suit before boarding his private plane to Akloit.
When he appeared before Cheyenne wearing his white suit like a god descending from heaven, she remembered what she had said two years ago: "He's Like A God." He looked so pure yet gentle that it took her breath away.
With a warm smile on his face, he walked towards her confidently with his big hand extended towards hers, saying, "Cheyenne, I'm here."
The young girl couldn't believe what she saw; it felt too good to be true!
The moment Benson laid eyes on her, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of heartache.
Where had he ever seen a bride in a wedding dress drowning her sorrows at a nightclub?
Just how deeply had that man, Kelvin, hurt Cheyenne?
