#TWO

**previous episode**

"But I'm not ready -"

At the very least, I want to marry an ordinary person who loves me too. Ah, at least that guy can learn to love me after marriage.

"Everything will be easy later."

My legs have become jelly because I do not get her support. It's no use talking to mom. Aunt Dalton must have bribed her with a lot of money.

==

My mother then asked, "I hear there are strange rumours about him ..but I don't want to believe it."

"What gossip?" I asked, brushing my teeth.

My mother pursed her lips and said it very clearly, "Someone said, Richie, likes men, ehm like that -"

I almost ate all the foam from my toothpaste. I immediately gargled and then walked to the kitchen, approaching her who was still busy making pancakes.

"If that's true, is it okay for you to marry me off to a man like that?"

One second

Two seconds

And the next second.

I still hope my mom will reject it.

However ...

"Just marry! The important thing is he still has a bullet and doesn't cut it, that's no problem! "

"MOM!!"

The noise came from the top floor. My twins were fighting over something that eventually made my mother furious.

Kean and Keanu began to calm down when I took the object they were fighting over.

"Sis, give it back! -" whined Kean, the twin girls.

Keanu, who is a man, didn't want to budge and instead joined in whining asking me the same thing.

"What are you looking at?" I switched to a cellphone.

A yaoi-themed comic appeared on the cellphone's screen.

"Hey, who reads this?" it's my turn to scream.

Kean took a step back, and Keanu chimed in, "She! She! Kean likes to read yaoi comics, sis!"

Kean squeaked in the corner of the wall, "No!"

I looked cynically at Kean before finally turning to the cellphone screen.

Finally I read the comic briefly. The illustration is similar to Richie and her lover - Alex.

My imagination was drawn above my head. Imagine the two lovebirds hugging each other on the edge of the dining table.

Alex's sturdy arms locked Richie's movements on the table. Urged to tease Richie with his ridiculous treatment.

Licking while tasting every inch of his lover's pointed face like ice cream.

"Oh God -" I blinked, and Alex deliberately turned his head. Sticking out his tongue then

rubbed Richie's back openly.

I watched it with my mouth wide open and breaking out in a cold sweat. The scene was no less hot; it continues.

Richie is easily in Alex's confinement. They have pressed themselves together. Alex's hands began to fall beneath Richie's body and squeezed both of his bottoms, which were only wrapped in sweatpants.

Richie gave a long moan, "Aaaahhh -"

And I screamed. Closing my eyes then handing the damn cellphone to Keanu.

"NO!!!!"

Still, in my mind, Alex turned into a maniac. He sang while taunting me who was running out of wits.

"I have a pen ... I have an apple -"

"Aahhhh! Apple Pen!" Alex winked his flirty eyes at me.

Spontaneously I fell to the floor with my ass landing first on the wooden floor. I can't longer distinguish between the real world and the imaginary world when I think of all this.

My mother called my name loudly. I who don't care and still feel that scene continues to spin in my head chose to run upstairs screaming two annoying men.

"WOULD I SURVIVE SEEING THEM LIKE THAT EVERY DAY? AARRRGGGG!"

==

"Sarah! Come down! Your friend is coming!"

My head hurts. Mother has always been screaming at everything. Makes me regret choosing to rest at home rather than going to the office.

Today's weather is sunny, but not as bright as my brain. I still fantasize about what will happen in the future if I live with the two men.

Yeah, Should I refuse this marriage?

"Hey, why don't you pick me up?"

"Oh ... you're coming. Come in."

"Are you sick? Unusually—"

Keyla is the most honest girl. Her beautiful face must be adorned with her flat face— a girl who finds it difficult to smile but the men in her office really appreciate her.

They say Keyla is attractive, unique, and also sexy. Her unfriendly face will make anyone curious about her. Not only men, some women are the same. I don't understand how Keyla can attract attention. If only Keyla wanted to smile more, this girl should be pinned as the most beautiful woman in Brooklyn.

Ah ... am I overreacting? I, who as a woman, envy her appearance and acknowledge her beauty. Especially men, right?

"I have a lot of trouble now. Did you bring what I asked for?" my lyrics on the bag she was wearing.

Keyla took the object out of her bag. So blatant that it makes me nervous because my bedroom door isn't locked.

"Why be scared? Don't your parents know?"

"Of course not!" I almost got more frustrated.

"It's just cigarettes. Whatever. So ... what happened?"

I took a deep breath, a sign that I was so frustrated. I told all my problems to her, and indeed Keyla is a friend who I can rely on. I told her how Aunt Dalton asked me to marry her child, then my mother's opinion what if Richie was gay and also about the man named Alex, who would also be present in our life as well as how my daily life sees their future.

Oh, God. my head feels like it's going to explode!

"Hmm ... you said that Richie was your first love, right?"

"Yes."

"Does Richie know?"

"Of course not. I didn't have time to say it because Richie said he was gay."

"Then now is the time."

I frowned not understanding, "What do you mean?"

"I think that guy named Alex deliberately volunteered to stay with you, so Richie doesn't turn into a normal man. So you have to make Richie turn to you."

I shook my head in disapproval. How could that happen? Richie loved the man too much. I can be thrown away at any time. For what I had to bother changing Richie's heart, while the man had captured his heart.

"That's impossible, Key. You can see how long Richie has been like now.."

"Love knows no time. I'm sure you can change it. "

"You say that as if you just experienced it," I complained.

Keyla choked at my sarcasm. Annoyed, she hit me on the head. Do not accept the jokes that I made.

"I learned from you! I'm shocked at you, how can you keep that feeling all this time? It sucks."

Correct. Twenty years is not a short time. I've been through a lot with Richie, but he doesn't know it, he's insensitive to my feelings for him.

Even worse, he instead chose to love a man. What the hell! What exactly happened to him? Is there something that he's hiding from me? Whether it's hurt or revenge?

There is a lot I don't know about him.
