M.U High's Love Stories [Book 1.5]

VI. Shaun

...................(Shaun)..............
"I like her a lot, bro." I was furious, knowing that Caleb liked my sister. I was so against them, but what could I do?

It's not because I don't trust Caleb. It's the opposite; that is what makes me anxious. I know Sofiah will leave soon. She'll leave him, and she'll leave me... mom and dad. She's going to leave!

I don't know what specific sickness she has cause mom and dad won't tell me. Thoughts always come to me like; "What if I tell Caleb that she's sick?" but every time... Sofiah would go;

"Shaun! Don't please!" She will prolong it and would cry to me so that I won't tell Caleb about it. It's tough for me; she's my twin, after all.

Though I will find my other half someday... losing her feels like I'm losing my identity. We've been together since we were little, we grew up with each other's side all the time, and a top of that, we've shared the space in mom's womb for nine months, inseparable.

But, seeing her and Caleb happy is enough proof for me to stop meddling in their relationship.

Caleb's the kind of guy who's playful but very serious when it comes to things, especially in the love department.

I wish them happiness.

"Baby, are you okay?" I looked at Enid, who spoke.

"Why are you crying?" I vaguely smiled. I hugged her sideways, and slowly I felt relieved. Enid's the only one who can make me feel at peace.

"Baby," I prolonged, sounding like a baby. My baby Enid.

She chuckled, and I could feel her hands in my hair. "Everything's going to be okay." I hugged her more. I hope so too.

"Sis!" I keep shouting. Please... my sister. Please return her to us. Please. I beg of you. My sister is still young! She doesn't deserve this. Please.

No matter how I plead, she's gone... Sofiah's gone, and my sister won't return no matter what. It hurts. Please, I don't want it to break.

I keep asking myself, "If I had shortcomings to her as her brother?" "Did I ever do what she told me before?" "Was I a good twin brother to her?" "Did I ever say how much I love her?!"

"Sofiah, twin sis, why did you leave us, huh?" I said while caressing her tomb, tears flowing off my face.

Be my twin sister again in the next life, okay?

I'll give you more space in mom's womb too. I chuckled at that thought.

It's been one year since she died. I can't say I'm okay, but... slowly, I'm getting there.

Slowly, I'll accept that I can no longer hear, touch, and see her.

I met this girl Quintin found so fascinating. She looks trouble to me, but over the time I get to know her better, she's not that bad.

I also met others and made friends too. It's incredible how three friends became nine.

I signed our names in the pageant for a reason...

"I hope both of you are ready!" I exclaimed and barged into our room.

They're lonely and stuck in the mud, especially Caleb, since Sofiah passed away.

I want him to divert his attention to something.

Because of the race, that's precisely the time I met m'lady Cassidy and the others. I intended to go past them at full speed. Oh, familiar now. Caleb would've won if I slowed down.

I partnered with Melissa, and she's really...

"Shaun, remember the steps!"

"Shaun breaks over!"

"Shaun, stop blabbering!"

She's bossy, dude. I should have known, but... overall, really, I needed a wake-up call. Enid's been busy with studies that leave me lonely.

A thunderstorm occurred when we were practicing, so I had a great idea, and we played.

"What's love, in your perspective?" I feel like everyone felt something in m'lady Cassidy's question.

I'm the first one who answered.

"Love? For me, Love is... love. It doesn't have to make sense, sometimes." I vaguely smiled as I remembered how things were between Enid and me before.

Enid is the total opposite of what I call the 'Ideal type' of girl. But look at now... I love her so much. I can't imagine my life without her if you asked me. I'm not being cheesy; it's true. When she's the one, you could even see her walking down the aisle and forever waking up beside her.

Honestly, I felt like sh*t when Sofiah passed away, but... if it wasn't for my Enid, I don't know what I'd become today. Without her, I feel like I wasn't able to swim back to the surface.

My dad would always say: "Women should be protected not because they're vulnerable but because... they're women."

I never really understood until I knew Enid. Women are women, sometimes they would go all crazy, but it doesn't mean they're crazy, well, maybe?

Being a gentleman is one of the little things you could do to women. Simple gestures.

"Woah! That's a lot of gifts!" Enid seemed surprised when I went to her room with the gifts I received from Cassidy and the others. I brought her gifts that came from me too. Her dorm mates aren't here, so it's not a nuisance.

"Woah, thank you, baby!" I chuckled when she hugged and kissed my cheeks. A great choice was that I bought her a book about writing a novel. She likes them, though... I don't understand what she's talking about sometimes.

I opened my gifts, and as I opened m'lady Cassidy's gift, I cringed. A sketchbook, really?! Do I look like someone who knows how to draw?!

I set it aside as I saw a piece of paper shaped like a flower.

"That's a paper lotus!" Did I look at Enid, lotus?

"Open it! There might be a message inside!" My eyebrow raised; what message?

I looked it up, and... it has an opening!

I opened it.

Be happy until the end:)

I smiled beyond reading it.

Noted, m'lady Cassidy.

I will.
