When Deagan finally came with food, she was even feeling embarrassed of looking at him. Her feelings were so complicated. What would she do if he was actually only toying with her?What would she do if one day, he got out of her life completely? And maybe, he told her that she was no longer worth his time?For the time she had known him, he was always a man that loved ,cherished and cared about her.He would always give her everything that she was in need of and made sure that she was fine!Deagan detected her behaviour. He observed her for a little longer time before deciding that it was necessary to talk to her. "Sunna, look at me," he said. He assumed that she was just embarrassed because of the things that had happened to him earlier.Sunna tensely looked up at him. It seemed like she was always seeing him in a different light everyday.But when her eyes met his, she diverted them again. She was really embarrassed, and unsure of what to do."Are you feeling ashamed?" He asked h
...When Deagan went back to the palace, he was immediately summoned by the king.And without any fear, he went to meet him. After all, he was going to do what he wanted."You finally came back?" The king asked sarcastically. "I thought we agreed that you always have to be around."Deagan looked away from him. " There was something urgent, so I had to leave and handle it," he replied.The king took in a deep breath. "Something urgent after asking Tecla to end the wedding? Deagan, do you know just how dangerous this could be for us?" The king questioned.Deagan swallowed hard. At times, he pitied this man. But he still thought that there were some things that had to be tackled now."And I hope you know that this 'us' is just you and I," he replied. "The kingdom and all the people are either on our side or against us..."The king was a little surprised to hear that from him. "Why do you know something like that? It is not even safe," he said with a sigh.There were some things that he w
Just when Deagan reached his house, Cuave followed him. "My prince, the thing I told you about that day..."Deagan looked up at him. He was not very sure of what that he was referring to.He had wanted to call Sunna and check up on her. Even though he had just left her place today, he already missed her.And with all the stress he had, because the king would not help him in making her his wife, he was overly stressed.He knew that he would feel a little better once he spoke to her.And again, he felt the need to pressure her a little more. He wanted her to agree to date him for things to look more serious. He needed to prove to his dad that he was really into her.On the other hand, he knew that Cuava would never just approach him for some little things. It must be something important.So, he had to listen to him and give him some guide about what he was supposed to do."I mean... I told you that the king and his man seemed to be looking at something, but they were keeping it complete
Once Cuava had left, Deagan pondered a little about the truth of the things that they had discussed.Then with a sigh, he put away the thoughts and called Sunna. She was all that mattered at that time.However, the call was about to be disconnected, yet she had not picked it up.Deagan creased his brows, trying to think of the reasons why she was not picking up.And he felt like hitting his head on the wall when he remembered that she was supposed to be in class at that time.But just when he wanted to hang up, it was picked. "Sunna?" He called in surprise."Mmh," Sunna said from the other end. She was sleeping, and the continuous ringing of her phone had woken her up.Hearing how she sounded, Deagan halted. "Are you sleeping Sunna?" He asked. Was she sleeping instead of being at school?"Um... Brother, is it you?" She asked. She was now getting used to life outside sleep."Are you okay Sunna? Why are you not at school?" Deagan questioned hurriedly. "Ah! I just did not want to go. Ev
"Yes Sunna," Deagan nodded his head, still with that abandoned look on his face. "And I do not know how to handle it anymore. It makes me really stressed out."Sunna looked at his eyes. He really looked lonely. So, there was really something that could defeat her powerful brother?"Is there something I can help with?" She asked. Deagan had always been there for her as she grew up.He had been there for her during her hard times too. And there was not even one time when he failed to cheer her up.She did not think it was a very big deal for her to help him now. In fact, she would want to help him even if he had not asked for it."Mmh," Deagan nodded back at her. "Will you help me this once baby? You are the only one who can change the way I am feeling now." "I will help you every time you want me to, not this once, brother," Sunna said. "Just say it... how can I help?" She felt it was now time that she helped her brother too. Deagan hesitated for a while, looking at her. He was not v
Just when Sunna finished speaking to Deagan, Gerry called. Of course, she was expecting her to call."Sunna? Did you miss the class today?" Gerry asked immediately. She had not expected that her friend would actually miss the class, without informing anyone."Good afternoon to you too Gerry," Sunna said teasingly, assuming the surprise that her friend had displayed."Um... You are crazy Sunna," Gerry chuckled. "Good after noon. I do not need to ask if you are fine,because your voice is so lively...""Is it?" Sunna asked. She was supposed to be feeling that bad because people were talking about her. How did it all change? Was it after talking to Deagan?Yes! Maybe hearing his problem made her know that hers was nothing."Yes, I think I do not need to worry anymore," Gerry said.Sunna was silent for some seconds. She had not checked the group chat since morning. She wondered what they might have said about her by now."Gerry, I went through the group chat," she said, her voice turning
When Gerry hanged up, Sunna quickly opened the group chat to check.And there were so many chats. At the beginning, people were still making fun of her. Not really, they were still cursing at her.And just like she had thought, they were even saying some things about her missing the class.Someone said that she missed the class because she was on a date with her brother.There were just so many, and some so nasty comments about her. She even felt like crying when she read them.Someone else even courageously said that she must have done some tiring exercises with her brother that she was not able to wake up.And that comment had so many other nasty replies.Sunna sighed. Anyway, they were not so wrong. They had done some exercises. But how did that concern them? It was her business!Feeling irritated and disgusted, she decided to skip them without reading, as she tried looking for the one sent by Jason.And really, it was there. It was a long text that almost looked like an email.And
...On Wednesday, Sunna went to school. But things were not as she had expected them to be.She had thought that even though the gossip about her had somehow reduced, people would still look at her differently.But the funny thing was that she detected some fear in the way her classmates were looking at her. It looked like they were scared of her.But still, she just took a seat, greeted the people she was used to and behaved like everything was in place.Jason was not yet in class, and there was only Gerry. So they just talked about the normal things that friends would talk about.However, Sunna creased her brows when she heard something from some of her classmates behind her."Hey, did you hear that Mari has been expelled from the school?" One girl asked. "I never knew she would one day come to this.""Yeah, it is trending everywhere. That made me scared," another girl responded."Wait, why would she be expelled out of nowhere? I thought that her family is always so influential," a
