QUIVA
She has Trevor who's in love with her, and she'll be married to Kalle. She's lucky with both. She's lucky someone loves her. She's lucky she has Trev, who loves her. As for me, Kalle doesn't love me. He couldn't love me even after spending a year together.I felt bitter. And because of that I didn't realize that I was drinking a lot. I was shocked, Trev was next to me talking to my cousins. I didn't say anything, or join in the conversation. I just drank. I don't care if I'll get drunk. That would be better so I can forget.I saw Kalle and Jane both stood up from their seats. I saw how Kalle guided Jane to somewhere. Are they leaving? Or he's just helping her to the restroom? What? Will they do what we used to do in the bathroom?I gulped down my glass full of beer. Trevor warned me earlier, that I was drinking too much. I ignored him. I know this is my cousins' table, but why are only Trev and I here?"Where are they?" I asked him.QUIVA"I'll go." He said firmly. "I know where her father is. It'll be easier if she'll come with me."I didn't hear Trev speak. Maybe he agreed. He glanced at me, his face still cold. "Let's go." He said stern, and was gonna pull me to walk."I haven't agreed yet." I said coldly then moved slightly away from him. He sighed and closed his eyes for a moment."Come on Quiva, don't be stubborn. I'll just take you to your father." He said impatient, looking annoyed.I didn't say a word and walked away. I felt his hold on my elbow. I stopped walking and shook his hand."You can take me there without touching me." I said snobbishly, staring sharply at him."You let my brother hug you but you can't let me hold you? I'm just helping you out."If I'm grumpy, he's even grumpier. They are really brothers, I can't beat them in an argument or teasing. I just rolled my eyes, then walked.When we were in the middle, I
QUIVA "You said you only have one girl, and Trevor should stop making me think you have another girl." I continued saying. He watches me. Listening quietly."But what's this? You said you only have me but why were you kissing Jane?" My voice cracked. A tear fell from my eye.Fuck it hurts! What happened to me happened again. I witnessed when Wayne was cheating on me, how he f*cking f*cked that girl! I witnessed how fine Kalle was, how he accepted Jane as his fiancee, witnessed how nice he was to her, and now I witnessed him kissed her.I asked for the pain to crash me just one time, but what's this again?He didn't speak for seconds. Looked like he was thinking deeply. And then he suddenly walked towards me so fast. I back away at every step he makes.I'm mad at you. I don't want you to touch me."Is that why you're mad? I didn't kiss her. I didn't kiss Jane." He comforted me as he stepped closer, and seemed to want to touch me. Even though my tears continue to fall, I still look at
QUIVAThe time stopped ticking but my chest feels like it has a ticking bomb inside, like it's going to explode anytime now, and that bomb is my heart. I don't know if he can feel it, but I hope not."Ghad, I miss my baby." He said huskily. I thought I was going to pass out from my erratic heart. How I long for his hug. I truly miss hearing him call me baby. A tear left my eye, more followed after hearing what he said next."I'm sorry. I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry." He said it so sincerely, I even think that he's crying. I don't know if he is really crying. But his voice was shaking.I don't want to be fragile. I don't want to be weak for him. But even though I wasn't sure what his apologies were for, I hugged him back.Damn! I miss him so much. I dreamed of this everyday. I missed his touch. I miss feeling the heat of his body. His smell, his voice, his beautiful face, everything about him. I couldn't stop myself from hugging him back. So tightly. I encircled my arms around his neck.
QUIVAFor a while he was silent, just staring intently at me. One elbow propped on the bed to lift himself up to not crush me. He used his right hand to touch my face. All the hair in my body raised.He gently caressed my face, his eyes alternately staring at mine, memorizing the feature of face. I saw how he gulped, how gritted his teeth. When our eyes met again, I drowned for the nth time."What? Will you just stare at me?" I said flatly. He's been like this for minutes. I'm trying to make him say or do something because I don't want him to be silent like this, and just staring at me like I'm the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Because that's the way he looks, or maybe I'm just assuming because I know to my self, I want to be the most beautiful girl in his eyes."I'm sorry." He said like a whisper.My heart pounded, lost it even more."What are you apologising for?" I asked. It feels like I'm not knowing something. I really don't know what his apologies are for."I'm sorry I m
WARNING! QUIVAPanting, and catching my breath, he kissing my neck again. I was irritated by his hair. I felt his sweat on his forehead. I pushed him to see his face. A few strands of his hair was getting in the way. His hair is longer than before. Its blocking his handsome from my view."Your hair is disturbing." I said a littl irritated. I pushed him away on top of me. He laid beside me and watched me reach for the drawer beside the bed. Took out a rubber band.Even though my knees were shaking from what he did, I sat down. I was not satisfied so I sat on his lap. He sat down, knew what I am planning to do. I ponytailed his hair. We were both wet with sweats. He grabbed one rubber band from my hand and ponytailed my hair as well. My chest pounded even stronger because of what we were doing. Damn!He finished tying my hair first. He was kissing me while I was still fixing his hair. He was sweating a lot. It was hard for me to collect all his hair. When I was done with it, I answered
QUIVAI was relieved to know that they didn't know Nicholas was in my room with me last night.We're having lunch right now. I was right on time. I was busy eating, and stressing over my headache when my father suddenly spoke."When will you and Trevor talk about your marriage, Quiva? Your graduation's near. We should plan your marriage soon." He said sternly, and took a bite of his steak. I choked by the sudden opening of this topic."I don't know." I answered calmly. I know he's watching me."Nicholas and Jane already talked about their plan on their marriage this morning."For the second time I choked again. But I didn't feel the pain on my throat or in my nose, I felt in my chest, in my heart. My heart hurts, and my headache worsen."W-what?" I asked nervously. What he said isn't registering in my mind."Francis told me that his family and the family of Jane met this morning to plan Jane's marriage with Nicholas."I stilled. I couldn't breathe for a while, I couldn't think, nor mo
QUIVAHe held my arm, took a deep breath. And looked at me with tired eyes."I waited for you for hours and this is what I'll receive from you?" He asked, his face was tired, it looked like he hadn't slept and was pale. His hair was so messy even his clothes."Tell me what's wrong. Why are you mad again?" He asked calmly.I swallowed. After I yelled at him and threw the ring in his face, he's still calm?"Don't act like you don't know why I'm acting like this." I said coldly. I grab my arm from his grip but he doesn't let go."It's so easy for you to get mad at me." He said sadly. I saw pain in his eyes. I was silent. Guilty."That ring... You're just gonna throw it like that?" I saw more pain in his eyes. "And it's so easy for you to say to me that you're going to marry my brother. You're okay marrying my brother?""Don't turn the table on me! You've made an arrangement with your fiancee's parents! What? Is your wedding date set already? Am I invited? I perhaps, might even be the rin
QUIVA"I know you're having a hard time. I know you're in pain." She said suddenly which made me turn to her. I got nervous. The way she looked at me, it was filled with worry."I've tried talking to father. Asked him, and convinced him if he can just cancel your marriage. But no matter what I say, his decision won't change. I tried... I tried convincing him to just let you decide for your own but... nothing. You know father, what he wants what he gets."I was speechless. Surprised. I didn't know that she tried to talk to our father. I thought she was one of those who instigated on my marriage. I thought she agree on this decision."I know we are not that close like other siblings, Q."I swallowed. That's true. It's shocking that we're talking like this now."As the years go by, the older you get, the more distant we become from each other." I could hear the sadness in her voice. She smiled at me sadly. My chest started to tighten. I avoided looking at her. I cried. I remember the tim
QUIVA"Full moon, bedroom, stars in your eyes.Last night the first time that I realized.The glow between us, felt so right.We sat on the edge of the bed and you said."I never knew that I could feel this way"Love today can be so difficultBut what we have I know is different'Cause when I'm with you the world stops turningCould I love you any more?"I smiled ever brighter and sweeter than before. Yes, I could love him any more. I know I will fall deeper to him after today. Every day of every hour of every minute, the more I get to know him, the deeper I fall. I will never get out of this hole. This deep hole in my heart filled with love for him.After all the challenges we've faced. For all the pain, resentment and anger caused by misunderstandings. There are people who tried to ruin our love for each other but they didn't succeed and will never succeed. Nothing, no one can break us apart.I know we will face more challenges, bigger problems, but I also know we'll get through it.
QUIVA "She was my fiancee because my family knew her family. It was just an agreement between our families. I did not choose her for me. And yes, you two are different from each other. I'm in love with you. And Jane is just a friend for me. You are the one I want to marry.""What about your parents? Do they like me?""They will. They do.""They met me as Trev's fiancee. What will they think of me? I hid that we were in a relationship. And I got pregnant early. They might think I'm a flirt–""They don't think like that. And I already explained everything to them. I told them that we had a relationship before you and Trev met, and before we knew the truth.""I'm just worried. What if they don't like me for you?""Mom likes you for me. She wants us to be together."I stared at him carefully."I'm really close with our Mom. I always open up to her. And one thing I always tell her, is our story. I've told her about you before. Even before you two met in person. I didn't tell her your name
QUIVAA smile stretched on my lips when I remembered the conversation I had with my father earlier.We talked, just the two of us."Do you really want to marry him?" He asked, looking stern while staring at our garden."Yes, father." I answered certain. Even though I knew that he will let us marry, I still got nervous when he called me to talk alone."Are you going to be happy with him?" He asked, this time staring into my eyes.I break down. Suddenly, I don't see the strict father I grew up with. The man I see in front of me, has soft eyes, gentle face and modest tone."Yes." I cried.He nodded slightly. Looked sideways. I saw how his eyes sparkled because of forming tears?"Then I have no reason to oppose."I then totally broke down in tears."Father," My voice cracked. He looked at me softly. His lips stretch forming a small smile.I ran to him to embrace him. He hugged me back, so I cried harder."Thank you." I said crying. I feel him stroking my hair."Anything for my daughter. A
THIRD PERSON POV "I can talk to my parents, Sir. If you will let me marry your daughter I can–" he cut him off."What about the family of Jane? Isn't she your fiancee?""I'll talk to her parents.""Do you think I will let you marry my daughter?""Sir... I love your daughter.""Does my daughter love you too?"Nicholas tongue was cut off by that question."Does she love me?" Nicholas asked to himself in his mind. He isn't sure. He doesn't know."No answer?" Marius mockingly asked. Nicholas gaze stayed glued on the floor. Swimming the depths of his mind if Quiva does love him. They haven't told their true feelings for each other yet. He is not sure if Quiva loves him too. If she's ready to be in a serious relationship with him. If she's ready to be in a relationship again."You don't have the answer?" Marius asked. Nicholas was apparently confused. He smirked."You don't know if my daughter loves you?" He taunts. Pressuring Nicholas further. Increasing the questions in his mind."If yo
QUIVA "Kalle?" I called him. I remember something from their conversation earlier."Hmm?" He answered."You talked to my father before?"He didn't answer right away. I could feel the loud beating heart so I raised my head to looked at him. He licked his lip, and gulp."Yes." He answered. It is I whose heart is pounding now."When? Why didn't you tell me? What did you two talk about?"He was about to answer but we both heard footsteps coming from the kitchen towards us."Krist? What are you doing here?" I asked surprised when I saw him walking out of the kitchen. I was astonished to see them used to his presence. I glance at Kalle, he is also surprised.Third Person POV"I recall, my brother never dreamed to become a professor. Why do I suddenly have a proffesor brother?" Trevor asked mischievously to his older brother. Nicholas smirked shaking his head. While pouring beer into their glasses."And why did you suddenly bought a school? What are you going to do there, Brother?"Nicholas
QUIVAMy mouth dropped, so as my heart. What the f*ck is this?! I told you so! This is what I fear! This is the reason why I want to run away from him! This is what I knew he would do! He will put Kalle in jail! He will be imprisoned!"You don't have to choose. Remember you promised me you'll stay with me forever. It's not too late to runaway, Kalle." I whispered to him, trying so hard not to let them hear what I said to him.He didn't answer me nor looked at me. They didn't cut their intense gaze at each othe."Kalle? Baby?" I tried to get his attention. I pulled his hand, pulled him towards me and almost grabbed his face just so he could look at me and listen to me."Leave my daughter? Or be imprisoned?" My father repeated. Tapping his fingers on the chair and shaking his feet."Kalle? You don't have to choose. Runaway with me like what we planned." I whispered to him. I kept trying to get his attention but he's not giving me any."I will not run away." He said low.I stilled. Stopp
QUIVAHis two men stayed. My shoulders dropped. He knows I was planning to run away."Calm down, Q. You're gonna be fine. Think about your baby. Don't panic, okay?" My sister said. Stayed here with me."How can I calm down?! He might do something to Kalle, or order him to do something out of his will!"She could only look at me."Hey... I'm going to be fine. We're going to be fine. Calm down. I'm not going to disappear. They can't take me away from you. Okay?""Let's go inside. So you can sit down." Said my sister. "First, you calm down. Have a rest then we'll go home. Nicholas take her inside.""Okay." Nicholas obeyed. He sat me down on the sofa. Didn't let go of my hand and eyes on me."You didn't check your phone. I warned you we were on our way!" She said bringing a glass of water for me.Kalle assited me in drinking even though I can do it by my own."I didn't know." I answered to my sister."Anyway, there's no use on lying right now. He already knows about the two of you. And do
QUIVAI swallowed hard. I look at him. His green eyes intently looking back at mine. In my head I asked him if he's sure. Is he really going to follow what I want? He didn't even hesitate at all in my decision. He read my mind."If that will make you feel better and safe. We'll runaway, but we'll come back. And promise me you'll let me talk to your father when time comes."Whenever he says he'll talk to my father I get nervous. I will never not going to be nervouss for that."Okay. I will.""Alright. Don't think about that post too much. Trev is now taking care of it.""Okay. We should start packing right now. We need to move fast. My father might be on his way, looking for us.""Alright baby. I'll get my things first, and call someone to prepare what we need. You take a rest."I nodded. He called someone to get the car ready. Then he contacted someone else to have a house cleaned up for our arrival. It seems like he's prepared. It's like he really prepared for our escape. Seeing how
QUIVAHe caressed my hand and looked at me intently. He was silent for a moment. I could see in his eyes that he was thinking deeply. I noticed that he still had a booger in his eye.Did he just wake up? Hasn't washed yet 'cause he was immediately greeted by a problem? Perhaps he couldn't even have time to drink water. I sighed to calm myself down.I'm hot headed right away its just morning. I still don't know what the problem is, yet I'm already in rage. "Who were you talking to?" I asked calmer. He kept looking into my eyes. He was still deep in thought. His mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something but didn't."It's Trevor." He said huskily. Something is really going on."Tell me the problem. Before I become your problem because I will loss my cool if you don't tell me what I just heard."He laughed a little. I'm serious about that. If he won't explain for too long, I don't think I will be patient and cool, instead I would start yelling."I will, but let's have breakfa
