"Miss Tzuyu, you are chosen."'You are chosen' The three words from my aunt's mouth created great happiness in my heart. However, the great happiness slowly turned to the fear that I was struggling to overcome over the past few days. I stared at my aunt's face not knowing what to say. She had a layer of tears in her eyes. I don't know if the reason behind those tears is happiness or the fear she held towards what I was chosen for.
"How much do they offer?"
I took a few steps near her with the most important question I had. I need money. I just need money for my little sister who's struggling to continue her life while laying on a bed when all the children around her age are freely and happily spending their lives. I can't endure it anymore. I just can't watch her suffering.
"They offer 20 million." my hands immediately covered my face as the happiness surged into me like a waterfall. Tears welled up in my eyes. Yes... that's enough... that's more than enough to save my little darling and give her a good life. As her big sister, I should do everything to make her life beautiful and something better than l experienced.
I moved my hands away, wiping my tears with a smile. But my aunt stares at me with worried eyes. Please don't give me that look... I am willing to take this risk. My heart begged looking at her.
"Did they mention anything about how they will pay us?" I ignored the worried look in her eyes and asked. If they can give money to us as soon as possible it will be so good and I will have no words to express my gratitude to them.
At this moment, all I can think about is money because money is the most wanted thing to me right now. After all, my sister needs to be saved. Aunt remained silent for a moment and then she nodded.
"They will pay half of the amount after the first night" Her words made my happiness fade away. After the first night? My heart raced inside of my rib cage as my hands unintentionally curled into tight balls. After the first night? 10 million will be in my hands? I wanted to cry so loudly and say I don't want this but I will not lose this opportunity. I lowered my head glaring at my feet while my teeth tortured my bottom lip because of the nervousness and the fear.
"When? When will it be?" I found my voice was at the edge now. It's not that I don't want to do this... it's just that I am scared. I'm scared of him... everyone does.
"They are waiting for you downstairs... they want you to go with them today and tomorrow will be the first night" A feeling of something washing all my happiness and desires for my future rushed into me. I felt tears controlling my eyes but I didn't let the tears conquer my heart or the decision I took. This is my fate and I will not regret this as long Haerin is healthy and living well.
"I will get ready now. Can you tell Haerin that I am working at the library for a few days and won't be able to be with her?" With tears, my aunt nodded at me. I know that she has no choice but to watch us like this. She's helpless. She did everything she could for us and I can't ask or expect her to do more.
I should be thankful to her for not sending me and Haerin to the orphanage after mom and Dad died. She took us in and raised us with care and love which I will never forget till the day I die. I should worship this lady for accepting us into her home and giving her care to us.
"Tzuyu... You still have the time to reject this... please... don't put yourself into this" She cried looking at me. Yes... I still have time to change my decision and not to put myself to something like that. Nevertheless, Haerin doesn't have time. She doesn't have much time left. She needs her treatments immediately. As soon as possible. And as a sister, I will not be a coward and step away from the opportunity and the only option I have.
