"why did you call me here, sister?" Andrew asked her sister while they were sitting in the same couch beside each-other and facing each-other, "i want to tell you something very important." she spoke looking into his eyes.
his eyebrows frowned by hearing his sister, "is everything okay?" he asked her concerned, she shook her head in no making him more worried, "why?" he questioned again.
"Oh— now i know, you want to teach me now that i shouldn't be that rude with Maverick, after i teased him this morning, right?" she shook her head in no, making his smile fade away, "then what is it?" Andrew asked in a serious tone, she held his hand into hers, her younger brother's hands were bigger than her, obviously.
"Andrew, i have never let you miss a mother that you had lost when you were a small kid," alba's eyes filled with tears, and Andrew nodded his head in agreement at her words. "you're a bit immature still and sometimes you become too harsh with anyone, im not talking about Maverick only," she paused after saying softly and sniffed.
"but— i know, i know that you will never ever hurt someone's feelings because you're m-my brother, a brother whom i took care like a mother, hm." he nodded his head, and pecked his sister's hand softly with tears in his eyes as she smiled with tears running down to her cheeks.
"I'll ever dare to make you stand against our father, but this time what he is going to do is just so far." He furrowed in confusion, "what do you mean, sister?" he asked her to make everything clear already.
"Maverick— loves Alethea." Alba told him, Andrew's grip loosened on the hands of his sister, he was caught off guard.
"He loves her. And you know what he said, 'if Alethea, herself tell me that she is ready to get married to Andrew and not me, then i will surely step back and give up.' he's going through too much, and if we won't stop now, then we will loose him, and we will be then we will be his culprit." She added wiping her tears.
Andrew stood up in a sudden and ran his hand through his hair in frustration, as if he has committed a sin.

Benjamin was looking for Alethea in the whole campus, but at the end he went to the rooftop and there he saw her sitting in a old sofa with her eyes shut and the sunlight making her skin so beautiful.
"hii!" He shouted and ran towards her with a small smile on his lips, she looked up and saw him standing. "Hey." she sighed, he sat down beside her in the sofa and looked in-front as she was also looking in-front; at the afternoon sky.
"You seems upset today." Benjamin said, and look at her face, she nodded. "What happened?","i can't understand him." she uttered not wanting Benjamin to question it but this time he didn't hesitated and asked her back with furrowed eyebrows, "who?"
she looked at the confused male sitting next to her in the sofa, as the cool wave of the wind in afternoon. the sun lighting up her face as well as Benjamin's making both of the youngsters look ethereal indeed, while they looked at each-other's eyes with questions filled.
"Ah— n-no one..." alethea hesitated and looked away immediately from his eyes, while he kept staring at her every moment. "You're talking about Maverick Diaz, right?" Benjamin spoke while looking at the buildings in-front, while she looked at his side features as he was smiling a bit.
"H—","The way you ran behind him that day, when he picked up a fight with Andrew, at that time i was pretty sure." He said cutting her off, "sure? about what?" she asked him confused, "that you love him." she looked away from his face, and exhaled a heavy, loudly breathe.
"i— i should go." she said after standing up, and then she walked downstairs from the rooftop leaving Benjamin alone at the roof. He smiled sadly while looking up at the sky and said; "maybe, you were only a friend for your crush again, dear Ben."

Andrew turned around to face his sister who was sitting with knitted brows as she was worried about Maverick and Andrew and Alethea.
"what should I do now?" he whinned, Alba looked up at him with worried eyes.
