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
On Friday after class, Jason walked Sunna home. Their relationship had improved greatly since their reunion.And they no longer mentioned the love thing or the rejected love between them. They were just at peace."Do you know of any werewolf movie?" Sunna asked Jason curiously. "I want to watch one."Jason was silent for a few seconds. "You want to watch werewolves?" He asked. "Are you not scared of them?""Nope," Sunna shook her head. She did not want to tell him that she only liked it if there were a few werewolves, and not a huge scary group."Sunna, what do you think about wolves?" Jason asked, this time seriously. He was always thinking of a way to tell her about himself. And he thought that this was the best chance."A wolf?" Sunna asked hurriedly. "It is cute! My brother promised to find me one. I think I have to remind him about it soon."Jason's eyes slightly dilated when she mentioned her brother. He was always getting so jealous every time she mentioned him with that adora
Sunna stood in place when he said that. And Deagan did the same. He knew that he had touched something in her."I just pity him," Sunna said with a sigh again. "Even after turning him down that much, he still defends me so much."Keeping a man who loves you close to you when you are not willing to give him what he wants is rude Sunna," Deagan explained to her. "Just be with him if he is the one asking for that.""Mmh," Sunna nodded. At least, Jason was the person always wanting to be close to her. She was not considered selfish, right?Deagan held her hand and tried pulling her along. "You look so sad, are you in love with him?" He asked.He did not want her to look that sad because of any other man. He did not want her to think about other men too!"I only feel bad for him," Sunna said with a pout. She did not have those other feelings for him. "There is nothing more.""I know," Deagan said. " What about me? Do you pity me too?" He asked.And Sunna looked at him in confusion. "Why w
