my sister and his man

Chapter 4

We had pictorials and all. After that, everyone went to Everson's mansion. For the second stage of the ceremony.

"Congratulations!" greeted me by an unknown guest. Perhaps it was one of the company’s investors in attendance.

"Thank you" I politely replied.

Many more greeted me. I'm not familiar with most of the guests. I only knew a few, others I had quarreled with once before. I wonder who invited them?

"Finally, you're stuck here too" Uncle Mac greeted. He led me to the table with his wife and a few relatives.

"Hello" I politely greet them all.

"Join us here first" said Aunt Sab, Nic's mom.

I bent down slightly and sat down next to him.

"No wonder why my nephew kept you. You are so beautiful!" Nic's aunt suddenly praised him and others supported him.

I've known them already. At the same time as my family and I evacuated here to the mansion yesterday, they also evacuated.

We had talks and even had small party last night. Nic's family is fun to be with. They are game in almost everything and also have no art, even though they are one of the well -known wealthy families in the country.

"What are your plans after this?" asked Isabel, Nicholas's younger sister.

To this day, I still can't believe that the girl I knew used to cry.

We met eight years ago in this mansion. She was ten years old that time, I was fourteen.

My family and I once vacationed here, in response to Uncle Mac’s invitation.

I thought Isabel was their only child, because I didn't see Nicholas. I don't know where he is during that time or I just don't really know?

"Where's the honeymoon perhaps?" Zack enters the conversation. The craziest member of the Everson family.

"Me and Nic haven't talk about it yet"

"Why not just here?" suggested by Aunt Sab.

"We'll talk about that po"

"Speaking of, where's brother?" Isabel asked again when she realized that Nic was no longer where he had been before.

After our dinner, I left him to entertain some guest. He was talking to my dad earlier.

"Are you all right here?" I was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of mommy and daddy.

"Of course Ayena" replied aunt Sab.

"That's great!" from aunt Sab, mommy's gaze shifted to me. "Where's your husband?" its whispered question.

I bit my lip so hard and couldn't answer right away.

"Maybe it's just somewhere"

"Find him. Daddy is looking for him" she was talking about my grandfather. It is now resting in one of the guest rooms of the mansion with aunt Nora. Daddy's younger brother.

I excused myself and got up from my sit.

I went back to Nic and It's table to pick up my phone.

I rolled my eyes around and realized it wasn’t just Nic who was missing. Eya and ate Aina was nowhere to be found also.

Why didn’t I immediately notice their disappearance earlier?

Damn! I had a feeling about this.

I climbed the grand staircase and opened the rooms on the second floor one by one. They weren't here.

"Where are they?" I suddenly felt foot pain caused by wearing shoes. "Damn this heels!" I violently stripped them and threw them to the side.

Next I went up to the third floor.

There are only two rooms here. Nic and It's room and the room where grandpa is currently resting.

I first opened Nic and It's room. Nobody. I closed the door again and the door in front of it is my focus now.

I took a deep breath. When I don't see Nic and Ania inside the room 'to swear, I'll explode!

Slowly, I opened the door. One ... Two ... Three ... I opened it wider.

I swallowed and cursed several times in my mind.

Aunt Nora and her husband, Uncle Gabriel, were obviously surprised by my presence.

"Aidle. Do you need anything?" aunt asked calmly.

I was forced to enter when my grandfather motioned for me to come. He was lying on the bed while Uncle Gab massaged his leg.

"Congratulations to you grandson" she said happily. He was getting weaker as time goes by.

We know that his days are numbered in the world, so his children are all courting for the desired company. That includes my father.

"Thank you grandpa" I politely replied.

"Where is your wife? I want to talk to her"

"It's downstairs" I lied. "I'll call him first"

I can't wait for the answer. I immediately went out the door and re -entered our room.

I thought of changing to wearing an off-shoulder body hugging gown because it was too distracting for my walk. Diego made me wear this earlier, after the third stage of the ceremony.

A spaghetti strap dress I chose to wear. For my feet, I chose my favorite sandals.

I quickly got out and continued the search.

I suddenly remember my phone. What good is it if I don’t use it? I hate myself! My stupid!

I dialed Eya's number.

"Hello" whispered its answer from the other line.Where are you?"

"Near the shore, spying on ... Guess who"Nicholas and Aina"

"You got it!"

"Why didn't you tell me right away that you were just outside? It's like I'm constantly looking for you here inside the mansion" I rushed down the stairs.

"I'm sorry. I don't have a load. I'm actually waiting for your call. The duration of your call will make you crazy!"

"I'm sorry too? I wasn't informed that you had a plan like this"

"I didn't got the chance to"

"Anyways ... I'm coming in there"

I turned off the call and made my way out of the mansion.

I was quietly walking down the rocky road down to the beach. I didn’t know it would be harder to walk this path. I wish I could just bear to walk a little far away on the cement stairs because I'm stumbling like this.

"Why did I choose to cut short?" I sit on my own.Aidle!" I lost my balance and fell down in shock.

Eya suddenly appeared in front of me. It just hides behind the plant I made to touch so that it doesn't slide down.

"What are you. I think you're going to kill me" I said angrily and slapped his leg lightly.

"Just for that, you're going to die? Its OA"

I stood up and shook the sticky sand on the dress.Are you still here?"

"Yes. I'm already swallowed" he arranged his hair.

"What happened to that?" I asked when I noticed what she was wearing. As far as I remember it was a gown, but now it just looks like a simple body hugging dress that is up to thigh length.

"I tore it. I can't move properly so that's why ..." she let out a deep sigh "I still love this gown. It's a pity"

"I don't know about you. You'll tear it up and then you'll regret it"

"Anyways ... follow me" he first walked into a busy road. I was able to follow him.

What actions does he take that I imitate thinking we need it so that Nic doesn't get caught. But when he suddenly rolled over, I realized he was just kidding me.

I'm convinced. My bestfriend is crazy. I will go crazy with him too.

"What is he doing to you ?!"

"I'm just mimicking Trev's moves in our previous project" he stood up then shook the sticky sand all over his body.

"Really?" you're tired of me visiting you

"Look" he pointed at Aina and Nic not far away.

The two sat under a tree. My sister's back is leaning on her boyfriend's chest and they are playing with their clasped hands.

I suddenly felt bitter. Why do I seem to be the only loser here? My sister and his man was still happy despite our situation. While I? I'm crying, crying for my shattered dreams and broken heart.

I said I will make thier life miserable. But something else is happening now.

On my wedding day, only two hearts were really sad. The heart of the one who loved but chose to let go, and the heart of the one who loved but let go.

"Hey" Eya said worriedly. It probably noticed my quietness.

"What should I do?"

"With the two of them? It's easy, they ruined your life. You ruined their lives too"How?" he winced

"I can't believe you're so stupid in this thing even though you're smarter than me" she crossed her arms over her chest. "Use being your wife. Don't let Aina come near your husband. Own that man, just like how she can take over all of you. That's enough of the few years of pain she caused. It's time for you to fight "

She's right ... It's time to fight. I've sacrificed enough. That's enough of a few years of tolerance.

I walked towards them naturally. I don't know if they will notice me or not. Just as importantly, I get mine back. Nic is mine now. As disgusting as it sounds, I have to fight for my right to it.

It's as ugly as thinking that we're married but they're together.

"I just want us to be like this every day" my sister said softly. Well, I guess the sweet thing he wants.

"Unfortunately, I won't let that happen" I said in greeted teeth. They turned to me at once."What are you doing here?" Ania's judgmental question. He stood up and glared at me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked back.

"We are having our alone time"

"I guess the thickness of your face to do that at my wedding?" I folded my arms and tried to match the intensity of his gaze.

"What is it to you then?"

"It is my concern. We are talking about my right as a wife here"

"Wife" she said with emphasis. He laughed out loud as if I said a big joke. "It's not like you got married, he's yours. You just got married on paper, he was still mine" damn her! She's acting immature now.

"That's why I got married, to claim. Not just to give to others. You know that better, attorney" I emphasized the last word. He was stunned. "You know the grounds of marriage better than we do. Yet you are acting like this? Why don't you just give it up? Things won't work the way you planned anymore"

"Don't use my position as a striking statement! I won't give him up just because you're married" I'm starting to doubt what kind of lawyer this is in front of me. She's a shame!

"Aina. Aidle" Nic commanded coldly. "You two are acting immature again" he intervened between the two of us.

"Look who's talking. Let's talk about maturity then. Is it leaving the height of the party to flirt with others?" I looked at him intently.

He swallowed his senses then let out a deep sigh.

"Let's go in" it said calmly.

"No! It's not you who's going together tonight but us"

"Here, stop it. I just gave it to you because you said it was the last one. I hope you understood what we talked about earlier"

"Nicholas ... I don't want to ..." Ania caressed his arms. I felt a little irritated so I now mediated between the two of them.Give it up woman" I was surprised when he suddenly slapped me.

"Don't interfere!" its cry.

I was grabbed by my bruised cheek and a deadly look was thrown at him. "It's our problem so step aside!" he would have slapped me again but I quickly caught his hand. I violently released it with a loud slap.

"You're claiming to be my wife so I'll intervene! Stop it, you're embarrassing! You're still considered a lawyer and then you're going to show this action? Yes, you were dating before we got married but that doesn't mean you're going to continue it. Because I won't let that happen. I made a mistake that night? Well, you too! " holding Nic's hand, I carried him back to the mansion.
