Chapter Fourty OneI chose to be alone. I successfully controlled myself from crying again, but I didn't save my sore eyes. If I just have sticks here, just a single one, I will just calm myself down.I'm not expecting another visitor anymore so I started peeling the orange on the bedside table. I was in the middle of munching it when a knock interrupted me. My mouth left hanging, my brows arrowed.What the hell? Who is it this time? I wasn't expecting anyone and I already told the nurses to not let anybody enter my room because I'm not accepting another visitors!I'm so much stressed because of my previous visitors, then here's another---oh my goodness!"Vannnn!"I almost lost my grip on the orange when Rocelia suddenly appeared. It's was too late for me to react because she immediately jumped here to hug me. I just pushed her a little bit when I felt tha

Chapter Fourty Three"Van, what do you think?"I felt a poke on my side but I ignored it."Van?"Another poke and I ignored it once again."Van!"This time, I shifted on my seat. I almost choke on the milkshake I'm sipping. I saw Lia's concerned face and that's when I realized I have been spacing out for so long."Hey, what's the matter? Is there a problem, Van? I've been calling you for three times but you're being preoccupied!" She pouted and crossed her arms.I took a deep breath and sipped on my milkshake."I'm sorry. What are you saying again?" I requested her to repeat what she's saying earlier.She frowned but didn't complain."I'm asking you... what should I order today since I've already ordered sauteed pork yesterday? I gave you choices which are; grilled cheeseb

Chapter Fourty FiveMy eyes surveyed my whole reflection on the standing mirror. I took the hairbrush on the drawer and started brushing my gray hair. I watched as it flows down naturally, touching my bare back slightly. I then, turned around and looked at my exposed back.I never thought this day would come, that I would wear this kind of cloth.A freaking long backless gown, with its glistening crimson red color, it has sweetheart neckline and a slit on the right side, causing my thigh there to expose. I paired it with classic crimson heels Lia have given to me.After a couple of minutes, I'm finally finished. I can feel my heart on its racing beats. I'm so much of a nervous freak.I wonder what would be the brotherhood's reaction if they will see me like this...Speaking of the brotherhood... we're meeting each other so rarely. True enough, after I disc

Chapter Fourty SevenWhat does it really mean? When one's heart beating so loud aside from being nervous?Am I nervous?But I can feel an emotion other than that feeling. An emotion that I cannot name. An emotion that this guy in front of me made me feel right at this moment.It took me a lot of courage to compose myself."C-come again?" I badly want to punch my own face for fucking stuttering."I said... I want to court you because I like you," the beat of my heart turned louder that it keeps on echoing in my ears."I like you, Arnaez." He said it firmly.I don't know what to react. What should I react? Do I need to react? Is this some kind of talk shit again? Is this a prank? Because if this is then, I might kill them right here, right now.But the more I look for a hint on his eyes where I could find some sort of bluffing, the more I'm se

Chapter Fourty NineI'm staring sharply at the empty bottled water on my hand. Mixed emotions were running allover me that I can't define which one is worth to focus on. All I know is that, I'm not feeling good today. I have no sick, just... I'm not in a good mood."Woah! Are you literally crashing that pitiful empty water bottled?" Someone spoke up.And I realized I was holding the empty water bottled too tight that I can almost crash it. I put it down and stared at nowhere. In the side of my eyes, I saw her sat beside me.Lia tapped my shoulder."So, what's wrong?" She asked as if she's ready to listen to whatever my problem is.I stippled a small smile. It's really good to have someone you know you can lean on to, you can be with whenever you're feeling bothered. One thing I'm regretting the most is the fact that I used to doubt her, I used to judge her intention without
