"Why didn't you tell me about it?" I asked. I remember what happened the last time we met. I remembered witnessing him shake his hand with that girl who happened to be his fiancee.You said I'm the only one you care about, but why? Why do I think you know her?"You lied to me. You said you weren't fixed to an arrange marriage! But you knew you are! And you accept it? You accept that she's the one you will marry?!" I screamed. flashed back to what happened that night. The way he stared blankly at me and when he removed my hold on him."You were angry because I lied to you, because I kept it from you, because I didn't tell you that I knew I was going to marry someone else? But you lied to me too, Kalle. You lied to me." The pain came back. It was like all the pain I felt that night came back.I want to release all my resentments. But I don't want him to know everything. If he'll know everything, he will also know that I love him. I don't want him to know that I love him. It'll hurt muc
"How did you know?" "I'm always with Sir Denver. You know he always makes me do some things. I always see Criselda in his office, and then one time, I saw them making out. I caught them many times. And I saw a lot of reasons and evidence that point to the fact that they were having an affair. I kept it, even to you I didn't tell you about it. But what that girl did made me reveal it to the public. She made me angry, and so I... Bitch was toasted."I thought of Criselda, what she did to me."Why did she do that? Why does she seem so angry with me?" I murmured. Thinking while looking into the void."I know why." I heard Gina said. I immediately turned to her."You know?" I asked, she nodded."You know a lot." I joked. She smirked at me."I'm number one female gossipher. My boyfriend is number one male gossipher." She said confidently then laughed. I laughed too."Don't be surprised. But it's okay if you are surprised. I'm used to people being surprised. There's always someone who is su
What?! He's in front of my school? What is he doing there? Why is he there? And what did he say? Waiting for me?"Why are you there? You're waiting for me?" I asked confused.[Yeah. Your father told me to come with you in your party.] He said.He's just talking casually as if we've been talking for a long time. The way he talked to me before, when we I was still with Kalle. Still the same he talks to me now."Wait. My father asked you to do that?!" I asked in surprise.[Yeah?] He said as if he was bored in there."I won't attend the party." I said confused.[Is that so? Then I'll just...] he didn't continue what he's about to say as if he was still thinking.I was embarrassed. It looked like he had been waiting for a while. If he hadn't thought to call me, he would've to wait for me all day. It's late, was he there since earlier?"Wait." I told him, then think. I've been wanting to talk to him for a long time. Maybe this is the right time to talk to him."I don't want to attend that
When the food was being served, it was unsual for me. There's vegetable salad, a steak, white cream pasta, and I don't know what they call those other dishes. When I was with Kalle, he'll serve more than four people servings of food. Now it's just for two people. Not that I'm complaining, just new to me.We started eating. No one spoke. But when I got bored, I took his attention."You said you're fine with your marriage arrangement." I started, he stopped eating, and looked at me skeptically. He put down his fork, leaned back, and sighed."I was." He said seriously.'Was'? So he isn't fine with it now? I felt relieved. Knowing that he isn't fine with it too gives me hope that maybe we could change our parents' plan because we both don't want it."I was shocked when I saw you there." I heard him say. I completely stopped eating. I can't eat anymore talking about this."I was too, when I saw you both there." I wasn't just shocked, I was terrified. I knew there was something wrong that w
"More than friends?" I asked. I saw his eyes glance at me for a moment. I nodded. There's something going on with you and that girl."You have feelings for her?" I asked, he didn't answer."You like her?" He still didn't answer. He was just staring at his glass of wine. He's cute, he's obviously hiding his reaction but slips up sometimes. Especially his eyes, they are not difficult to read."You're in love with her, aren't you?" I asked grinning, because the hot seat was on him. His face was blank but his eyes are restless, and full of emotions."I don't know." He answered lowly.I laughed bitterly. He looked at me because of my reaction. I remember someone because of his answer."You are really brothers." I murmured. He looked at me with a frown, not understanding what I was talking about."Was this because of my answer? The 'I don't know'?" He asked. I nodded. I'm not sure but I think I poured wine in my glass twice now."What questions did you ask my brother that his answer was I
QUIVA"Did you enjoy your date with my brother so much, now you failed to recognize me? You thought that I was him?"I stilled. I know that voice. I found the key, but I couldn't insert it into the hole. My hand was shaking. My heart started to beat so fast. I know whose voice I just heard. I've been dying to hear that voice again.I gulped, and calmed myself down before facing him. Again, I was dazzled by the near lamp, I blinked so my eyes could adjust, and to see him properly.He's also wearing a white polo, and his hair was ponytailed. That's why I thought he was Trevor earlier because I didn't notice his long hair.My heart beat faster when I saw his face properly. That handsome face of his, I wanna see that everyday. I kept my face straight while he's glaring at me, again.We met again after a long time, and now you're angry again? It's irritating. It's like this over and over again. You're always angry. I felt annoyed. Just like I felt before when he would butt in between Will
QUIVA I saw my father glance at me. I looked at Trevor, who was also looking at me as he approached."Good evening." He said politely to my father. Through my eyes I asked him why he's here."I invited him so you can have company. I noticed that your cousin's are with their partners." My father said. I just nodded.I've been reminding myself that it's his birthday today so I wouldn't begin an argument."Why didn't you text me you're coming?" I whispered to Trevor. He came closer, stood in front of me. My father was talking to someone, but his eyes were on us."I texted you." He replied looking like he was not in the mood either. I know he's just forced too. We got closer. We met the other day. He also talked to his Dad, but he didn't agree as well.I was surprised. I checked my phone. Saw that there was really a text from him but was flooded over the other texts. I was ashamed to look at him. I glance at my father who's watching us. He looks pleased with what he sees.I turned my eye
QUIVAI looked at Kalle, just as he turned to me. His face was blank. I couldn't read it. I turned my gaze to Jane who was staring at me. She looks kind, but I am not."You can take a seat anywhere you want." I said stern to them. Then I grabbed Trevor by the elbow and pulled him and sped up our walk. Trev let me pull him. I pulled him towards my seat earlier, in the corner where there weren't many people.Our living room is wide, and they decorated it for this party. That's why it no longer looks like a living room, its now like a venue for parties. Round tall tables are everywhere, some deliberately not equipped with chairs, few flashing party lights, and the place looks formal and isn't that lively because the birthday celebrant is old. My father is strict. This is how he parties. Business is included in his parties.I was surprised when I turned around only to see the two were following us. Kalle saw my reaction. He gave me a cold stare, as if he knew I didn't want to be with them
