How sudden do you think is it to hate someone you once love, and to love someone you once hate?
There is a thin line between love and hate.
Anything is possible.
Well, maybe in the life of Salome Alan who reluctantly let her dad be with the one he l...
My aunt chest drops. We're in my room, my clothes all littered around with the level of excitement I once felt when aunt Jenny said we're going out. Only for her to later tell me that my dad already planned a get together with Maria and we're all going with him.
Jenny sigh, her hands on her waist and her face masked with all seriousness.
"Do you think I also want to go?" She shakes her head, "No...I don't. But I have no say to it, no matter how I try to convince your dad, his decision is still the same. He's my elder brother and I also want what's best for him."
I push away the clothes on the edge of my bed and bounce on it. Why is my dad suddenly doing the opposite of what his family wants? What I want?
Jenny exhales softly, walking closer to me. "I'm sorry, Salome. But we have no option this time."
Raising my head to look at her, I can feel the same unwillingness in her face. To someone that's always cheerful and extra, seeing her look this frustrated is telling out. I nod and she pull out a small smile.
"Okay..." I get up again, staring at the bunch of clothes, "I don't know what to where though."
Jenny hums, picking out a white spaghetti hand gown. "What about this?"
I let out a humorless chuckle, "That? No...no I'd look like a bride's maid."
She quickly flip the cloth away and search for something else. While she's busy trying to pick out an outfit for me, I try as much as I can to think of something else that can lighten my mood. Going out for a family date-whatever it is called- is not what I wished and would ever wish for.
"What about this?"
Jenny's voice jolt me to look at her and to what she's holding. A stripe black and white jumpsuit.
I scrunch my brows, taking it from her. "I can't wear this either."
"Why?" She frowns, snatching it from me again. "What's wrong with it? It's perfectly-"
"It's small for me." I cut her off. Not like I can't wear it but I so hate the whole attention on my rear, and it just keeps increasing.
Jenny takes a deep breath. I know she's tired of me already but is just keeping up. She place the jumpsuit on the bed.
"Okay then, so...choose what you think won't be small for you."
For some seconds, I scan through the scattered clothes on my bed and slip out a red palazzo and a thin hand white top.
"I'll just put this one on." I wave it to Jenny who just nods rapidly.
"Yeah, this is nice and corporate." She says, smiling brightly and walking to the door. She grabs the knob and turn over her shoulders. "Let me quickly change, come downstairs when you're done."
"Okay."
