What is love

Chapter 35 - Jealous

Ansel Renaldy

My eyes fluttered open and the tv in front of me is already on, I look at it and I have no idea what tv show it is. I don't really watch tv show, the last thing I watched is Bridgerton and it is also because of her. I look at my side and found her laying on bed watching the tv with an empty stares, I look at her and wonder where her mind at?

"Morning," I look at her then she finally realize that I'm awake.

"Oh did the volume too loud?" She asked before turning the volume down.

"No," I shake my head while still laying my head on the pillow.

"How long have you woken up?" I asked then she looks at me before smiling.

"I can't sleep," she sighs.

"I slept for an hour or two but I can't, my mind's everywhere," she said while holding on the remote.

"Your grandpa's condition is a lot better now, he's going to be just fine," I said to her, then she only stays in silent.

"Thankfully yeah, but it's not just that," she said before slowly turn her head around to look at me.

"My sister said that she's getting married soon," she said while playing wit the sheet of the blanket.

"But with someone that my dad has chose," she said.

"It's an arrangement," She explained.

"He doesn't want my sister to end up with someone that he doesn't like," she said.

"Like me," I chuckle then she smiles.

"Yeah, but I feel bad for her," she said to me.

"How does she feel about it?" I asked.

"She doesn't like him, but she said she'll be fine," she said and I can see that she's uncomfortable with it, she clearly doesn't want her sister to marry the guy that her dad chose.

"I know she won't," she sighs.

"She said that I suffer in med school, she was free for choosing whatever she loves so she said now it's a fair," she said.

"Well it isn't supposed to be like that," she said to me, I didn't know that there are parents that still insist their child to follow what they want.

Well, my stepmom did try to arrange me with her friends's daughters, but when I came to her with Sabrina she never treat her bad or anything.

"I feel bad," she said.

"But that doesn't mean I regret what we did, I feel so thankful for this, you gave me so much freedom," she said then I chuckle.

"It's more than half a year already though," I said then she smiles. I haven't seen her smiling like that in a while.

"Yeah, I even almost finished my school," she smiles.

"I started to achieve what I really want in life but I guess it's a dead end for my sister," she said.

The memories of me torturing her dad suddenly makes me think, is it because of me torturing him, so he thinks that he'll never let his other daughter marry someone like me?

Now I'm the one who feel bad, I started to think it's all because of me now. How am I supposed to tell her? She didn't tell me that her dad hit her, she doesn't even know that I knew.

"Is there anyway to stop your sister from marrying the guy?" I asked her then she shakes her head.

"I don't know," she said.
