Three yearster...
"Thank you, gentlemen, foring and participating in this meeting..."
h.h.h.h...
I didn''t hear what the speaker''s next words were as I lost concentration as I watched passersby
passing along the busy street of the Am-Phil building in Denver Colorado. I was currently in an
important meeting in the city, but as we''re almost done discussing some business strategies and
investments, I can''t help but look out and watch those people walk one by one.
The meeting room was located just on the second floor of the building and surrounded by huge and
clear ss panels, so I can freely see the happenings outside the building.
It''s been three years and I''m still trying to find Madi. And because I am too desperate to see her, I also
tried to watch every people passing by even in this kind of busy street while I silently prayed she might
be one of them.
I''ve been flying from a different country almost every other month, trying my luck to catch a glimpse of
her. I became addicted to her perfume scent and it made me insane every time I smell the same scent
of her on other women. I also became a fan of entertainment and business news on tv and online,
hoping to be able to see her from one of them even in their everymercial.
I hired several people to watch their house in Florida, and each one for her friends in case she ever
showed up to them one day. But like every day of these past years, the result was the same as in my
first year of searching... nothing. And here I am, trying again my luck to watch those people pacing their
way across each other.
But then my eyes widened as my heart started pounding inside when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a
very familiar woman. I was stunned in my seat and I don''t know what to do.
"Madi!"
I mumbled loudly and finally walked over to the ss panel. I haven''t noticed the stares I was earning
from the people inside the room. My heart was pounding loudly as my eyes tried to search again the
crowd down the building.
"Mr. Wilsons?"
-''It''s her! I''m sure of it!''-
"Mr. Wilsons?"
-''I saw her!''-
I kept muttering to myself as I craned my neck to see her again until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I
nced at the owner of the hand. It''s Sandy, Madi''s friend, and my secretary.
"Sir, they''re all waiting for you."
I looked around to see all of them watching me with different questions swirling in their eyes. I sighed
and tried to look out again before returning to the long table.
"I''m sorry gentlemen. I just thought I saw my wife." I exined with a half-hearted smile.
"Your wife, meaning you''re married?" asked one of the gentlemen at the table.
"Yes, three years ago."
"If so, where is she? What happened to her and why do you look so down?"
"Actually, right at this moment I don''t where she is, and I don''t know how I can find her. I made a huge
mistake in our rtionship before, that''s why she left me. And until now, I''m still searching for her. I''m
hoping I can still correct all those mistakes and hopefully, she can give me a chance."
I said with a sad smile but looking in no particr. I''m just looking at the red roses that are beautifully
arranged in the middle of the long table. How I wish I could turn back all those times and reset what
happened. Maybe we are now a happy couple, probably with one or two kids. Maybe she''s now with
me or waiting for me at our home wearing her beautiful smile just for me.

Sandy''s POV:
He''s always like that, always looking nkly at the crowd. At first, I can''t really understand why he''s
doing that, then I realized he wasn''tpletely looking nk at them. Yes, his body doesn''t move, but
his eyes do, searching and trying that maybe..... maybe he can see her, he can find her by watching
each of the people passing by in the busy streets not far from where he is.
I sighed as I continued to watch him share his married life and all his mistakes with the gentlemen
inside the room. After more than three years of working with him, I can say he changed so much, his
personality, outlook on life, and most of all his behavior.
Well, I know it wasn''t easy for him to be what he is right now, but it''s worth it. I remember the old
him when I and Madi were just starting to work in hispany. He''s cold, distant, rude, and arrogant.
And Madi told me one day, that the word ''thank you'' and ''please'' wasn''t listed in his vocabry. But
that all changed when he offered her his deal, to be his wife. I noticed how he slowly transformed into a
jolly and always smiling person.
Madi loved him at that time, without him knowing her feelings. But she stayed with him until one day...
he called us one by one and asking if she''s with us. Then I heard the shocking news, she finally left
him. And after that, from a cheerful, always smiling, and jolly personality, he turned into a more lifeless,
merciless, cold-hearted, and cunning person.
He became the ''devil'' of the business industry not just in Chicago but throughout the state of Illinois
taking all the opportunity he can get. And maybe due to the constant advice of his father, the screams,
and the sermon of his mother and other rtives who visit him in his office, he has be what he is
right now. A dedicated businessman and a husband dedicated to finding his wife and getting her back.
"Oh, that''s so sad, my son." one of them patted him on the shoulder. "But you know what, nothing is
perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, but the most important thing is that we correct them and stand for
the right the next time."
"I agree, Mr. Wilsons. I''m sure you can find her, and we hope she can give you a second chance." one
of the young executives smiled at him.
"Maybe you can show us her picture, so we can easily recognize her in case our paths cross."
"Yeah, that''s a good idea."
He opened again his phone and sent them one of Madi''s pictures. And then we started gathering our
things as we congratte each other... one by one.
When we were about to go to the hotel where we''re currently checking in, instead of going to the car,
he ran to the street in front of the building. John and I exchanged a look but eventually followed him.
"Mr. Wilsons, you still have one more meeting, Sir."
I shouted behind him, but he just ignored me. So I have no choice but to run after him, while Jhon
shook his head as he ran next to me.
"He''s doing it again," he murmured.
"You mean this street searching?"
"Yeah. He has been doing this for almost two and a half years after he returned to his normalcy."
"Well, we can''t me him," I said taking arge step to keep up with his pace.
When we got in front of him, I was really catching my breath, but to my dismay, he ran again--- to the
other side of the street.
"Huh?" Iined while looking at Jhon with a tired look.
He chuckled at me. "That''s what we called afternoon exercise."
"Yeah, you mean two o''clock in the afternoon exercise." and he chuckled again.
After ten or fifteen minutes...
"I saw her, I''m sure of it!" Mr. Wilsons grumbled when he came back to us.
"Sir---"
"I can''t go wrong with it, Sandy!"
That''s one of the things that changed in him. Ever since Madi left, he started calling me Sandy instead
of Ms. Agur.
I really don''t know what to say or how to react to what he said because honestly, I''m not sure if he
really saw her earlier or he was just hallucinating. It''s not the first time that Jhon and I ran after him
down the street just because he said he saw Madi, but in the end... he hired men to look and search for
those streets he said he saw her.

Gabriel''s POV:
When I could no longer stand the heat of the sun, I followed the two inside the car. I''m definitely going
back here one of these days and set another team to start searching on every street of Denver
because I can''t be wrong with it. It''s her, I know it''s her.
