family problem

Chapter 3

Best just smiled when I got close to him I saw a forced smile on his face.

His face looks very sad. We sat down and I was surprised when he suddenly hugged me so I hugged him too.

I can feel his sadness. But why do I feel like I have something to do with his feelings, when I know I have nothing to do with it.

Best what's going on with you? What's your problem?" I asked

He just shook his head and said it was a family problem. That's what he always says when I ask him.

There seems to be something different about him. He's always dumb like the size of the problem he's carrying.

I know best if there is a problem and I want you to tell me, but if you don't want to, it's ok, I will respect your decision. But I want you to know that I'll be here to listen to you and help you as much as I can, no matter what.

He nodded his head then pulled away from hugging me and that's when I saw his tears fall.

I know if his problem is heavy because I know him, he doesn't cry easily. He immediately wiped his tears. I also saw David in the distance who was looking at us sadly and when he noticed that I was looking at him, he left.

It's not just a family problem, that's why you still sympathize with my drama. He said with a smile but I know it's just an effort.

He's fun to be with but now he's always stupid and out of his mind. Sometimes they ignore me when I speak.

Come on, we're getting late.

We entered but my smile immediately disappeared when I saw the man I hated next to my seat.

I sat in my chair. Because Gina and I are in the middle. I would like to switch seats with Gina so they can be next to each other, she totally wants them to be close but she doesn't want that anymore.

I left him before he was excited to see the new student and he kept saying how cute he was but now he doesn't pay attention.

Sir has already written on the blackboard and said that we will have a quiz and he said that David will collect our test paper.

I got a piece of paper and gave it to best and started writing.

I was surprised when someone touched my arm and when I turned to see David, I raised an eyebrow at him ask for paper and borrow a ballpoint pen. He whispered

You come in without a ballpoint pen? I said with a raised eyebrow

Give it to me if you don't want us to talk again Miss Fontenilla and Mr. Montellente what is that? Sir shouted.

No sir, I'm just borrowing a ballpoint pen!

I just gave him and loaned him a ballpoint pen. I'm not a bad person for not lending him money.

I finished writing the questions but there were no answers because I didn't study.

I was surprised when he snatched my paper from me and then gave me his paper while saying.

Please copy your best friend!

I looked at Best who was an idiot.

I took his paper and placed David's paper in front of him so that it would not be obvious that we were copying from it.

I wrote on his paper because he seemed to have no intention of answering his paper.

After we said goodbye to best and his mom will pick him up. It's surprising because he always says that his mommy picks him up.

He's not like that before, I don't know what's happening to him.

I saw mom and dad talking in the living room, they didn't notice me, I could hear them talking about our wedding.

I approached them and when they noticed that I was in front of them, they became silent.

I saw the invitations on the table.

I took one and looked at it with tears in my eyes.

Mom, I don't want to get married.

Mom didn't answer.

It's all over, it can't be taken back. Dad told me Why are you leading me? It's my life, dad, I have the right to choose who I want to marry and when I want to marry. I'm doing this because it's good for you!

Good for me? Or for you because David is rich? Your wealth, dad, isn't it? You are so selfish, dad. She cried

I threw the paper I was holding and ran into the room.

I pulled out my hair. Crying loudly. My chest feels like it's going to explode with anger and annoyance.

I took my phone and called Gina.

He asked again but he didn't answer.

I called but still nothing.

I put down my cp while crying.

Soon my phone rang.

Immediately if answered and cried loudly.

I'm getting married next week! What should I do, I don't want to get married.

Crying saying oh really? Congratulations! He said sadly

It was obvious in his voice that he was crying That's not what you want to hear. I will kill myself to be able to marry that man.

Best of luck to you, everyone is dreaming of her and then you still won't agree to marry her?

I pulled out my hair again.

All right, it looks like you're crying too, I hope we meet again. I said

What? Thalia what are you going to do? No, I'm just going to sleep, I hope when I wake up it's just a dream.

I put my phone down.

I didn't realize that I fell asleep crying.

I entered with puffy eyes.

Boung School already knows about our wedding because all our teachers and our classmates who want to go have been invited.

Everyone I meet congratulates me. I would love to yell at them for not getting married.

For a few days when best didn't come in, I couldn't vent my anger.

I'm always alone and crying, I always call him but he's not in the area.

It's been a few days since David didn't come, I would like to talk to him about not agreeing to our marriage if he didn't come.

I can't call either because he doesn't have my number.

My mind is a mess.

I don't know what to do.

When I'm at home I always lock myself in the room and cry sometimes I can't eat because I forget I don't even feel hungry, I always ask dad but I don't pay attention.

There are only 3 days left before I become a girl.

Mom already bought my gown, she bought it because they also like it, so I left everything to them.

I don't know where Gina is anymore, she doesn't call me or text me anymore.

I came home from school at 7 in the evening, I came home late because we had a group project.

I passed by the park, there are many people here.

Some are dating and some are walking some are hanging out.

I smiled when I saw Gina sitting in a chair that was quite dark.

I watched him closely, maybe later he won't be the best, he will embarrass me. But to be sure if it's him. He kept glancing at his phone.

Tried to call but it didn't ring so that means the number changed. I walked to where he was but I also stopped when I saw the tall man going to where he was.

That man seems familiar.

My eyes widened when his face was facing the light.

David? I whispered

They stood up and walked together.

I was suddenly nervous. I secretly followed them.

They stopped at a corner and sat there. I hid in a big pole in the dark.

They were silent for a long time, I hugged myself when the strong wind blew.

It was seen that David took off his jacket and put it on Best's shoulder.

My mind is in a mess, what's going on between the two of them?

Congratulations! You will marry my best friend in just 3 days! Gina said

I could hear the sadness in his voice.

Do they know each other? Are they close? when else? I don't know that. I thought of something but it was impossible. Yes! I would have presented you at the altar like I promised you but I don't want dad to be angry and it's also for my inheritance.

I held my mouth and remembered what he said he had a girlfriend that he promised he would present at the altar and marry and it was Gina?

That's why Gina is in trouble because she is hurt. That's why they seem to be absent for the past few days because they are in pain.

I was angry with Gina because she didn't tell me. He made me look like a fool, I still told him everything. David is being slandered in front of him because he loves him so much.

I was also annoyed with myself because I didn't know that I was hurting my friend. That's why I feel guilty for her being sloppy. But I told him that I would listen and do everything for him but he kept it a secret from me.

I am very angry with David because of his father's wealth he can hurt my friend.

Take care of my best friend, I love him so much! That's why I didn't tell him because I know that if he finds out we have a connection, he won't agree to marry you. If I do that, your dream will disappear. So if you express my pleasure for your dream.

My tears came from what he said.

I want to sob but I don't want them to hear me. I bit my lower lip to keep from sobbing.

I saw Gina wipe the tears from her eyes. My chest is tight, it hurts so much, I feel like they cheated me.

You know the reason I'm doing this, right? It's also for us. Just wait for me and I'll get back to you when I have everything. You know how much I love you, right? David said

Don't hurt my friend. He said again

When he gets dad's wealth I will leave him and come back to you!

Best shook his head.

After your wedding, I will also leave for Paris and continue my studies there.

So he's leaving without telling me? I got bored with him.

I can no longer listen to their conversation.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and slowly walked back.

Then I ran as far as I could from them. I've lost a few feet from running fast.

My vision is blurry because of the tears in my eyes.

I ran there knowing where I was as long as my mind was running.

I felt my arm wet and knew it wasn't tears but raindrops.

He seemed sad and sympathized with my feelings.

Until it started to rain heavily and I still didn't stop running.

I saw some men ahead of me, 3 of them all holding a bottle of wine that they were drinking in the middle of the heavy rain.

I was going to meet them so I suddenly crossed praying that they wouldn't notice me because of the heavy rain but I was in the middle of a wide highway crossing when I was dazzled by the light of the oncoming car.

I was so scared that I couldn't move my legs because of the fear I felt.

I heard a loud car horn and at the same time I closed my eyes and fell down. I even screamed Mommy!

That's all I said and the surroundings are no longer black.

I woke up with all white around me.

I looked around and didn't see a single person.

I was about to stand up when I noticed if there were anything attached to my hands. My eyes dropped from my sout and I was wearing hospital clothes.

I feel good about my body and I feel ok but I just don't have the energy. I cut off the ones attached to my hands.

I approached the door even though I was still weak, tried to open it but he was lucky.

Where could I be? Could it be that I was kidnapped? I fumbled with my phone in case my phone was found, but it wasn't there.

Where am I in the hospital? What happened that I'm here and the door is locked?

I sat up on the bed because I felt my knees shaking.

Is it really a hospital? Are there couches in here? Why can't I hear anyone outside? But the door is locked and no one, nurse or doctor, comes in?

What question is in my mind.

I tried to open the door again hoping it would open but nothing.

Is there anyone out there? Please help me! I screamed but I couldn't hear anything.

I returned to bed tired, stunned by the white ding-ding when I noticed the open window. I immediately stood up again and approached there.

When I looked up, "wow, the view is beautiful. Where am I? I asked in the void.

I can see so many houses below, I think I'm in the highest building now because I can see all the houses.

Even though I was scared inside I enjoyed looking at the view of this place.

I also went back to bed when I felt my knees shaking.

I was stunned again by the ding-ding that I remembered, the conversation between Gina and David, my jyak, my running and my crossing the road and then a car was coming.

Is it true that I am married? What time is it now? It was Monday when it happened to me and maybe it's Tuesday now and my wedding is tomorrow, mom and dad are definitely looking for me.

I'm here so I can marry that man. I was hurt by the events they cheated on me, they didn't even say that the two of them had a relationship and I kept looking like a fool.

I wish I could give him permission because he is only after Mana and when dad sees that and I prove to him that I am right that he only wants money and he doesn't love me, dad will agree to divorce us.

And because of what I heard them talking about Gina, I will never agree to marry her.

I was still sitting on the bed when the door opened. The woman in white was surprised, maybe she was a nurse. Oh my God are you awake? My forehead is wrinkled, what are you saying? What's surprising when I wake up?

How are you feeling? He asked with surprise still evident in his voice.

I'm fine, where am I? I asked

My God, who removed this from you?He was referring to those attached to me

I'm not here, where am I? I asked again, he was silent.
