Chapter # 10 : Fate

“Is this the first time you meet your fiance?”- Drache asked.
      “Yeah…”- She only said boredly as they waited at the arrival area. The girl was so frustrated but not because of her wedding or Jyller’s attitude, it's about her mother's coming home.
      “Oh! My princess!”- A middle aged woman yelled. Drache and Clend looked at her , but something surprised Drache.
        “Stop calling me that!”- Clend said in annoyance.
        “Geez , wouldn't you even hug your mother first?”- Her mom says , but she just turns away from her mother.
        “D.. Drache?”- says a beautiful young lady.
        “Yachel…”- The only response Drache’s could make in surprised.
        “You two knew each other?”- asked Jhullie , Clend’s mom.
        “Isn't it obvious? Mom..”- Clend says coldly.
        “Y-yes.. Tita! He's my… my..”- stutters Yachel.
     “Schoolmates.. before”- said Drache as they both gaze at one another.
        “Oh.. I see , by the way.. ihjo this is my beautiful daughter , Clend.”- happily says Jhullie to the young man beside her who gets near to kiss Clend's hand. However , the young lady glared at him pulling her hand's away.
       “Touch me and you'll die!”- She warned, which made Jhullie sigh in shame.
        “She's serious , dude.”- Drache smirks, that annoys the other man.
        “And who are you?”- he asked, glaring at Drache.
        “I’m the man who will bury you to your grave if you don't step away from her.”- states Drache as the other cower in his glare.
        “I'm exhausted , let's go home Drache.''- Clend says angrily. The others followed in Drache's car and headed to Clend's house to drop them off.
            The next day at the school cafeteria, the gang is gathered except with Clend. They were pestering Drache about Clend's fiance but he's not responding due to the thoughts about Yachel. So in annoyance, Dhaenne pinches his ear to get his attention.
        “Wha.. what's with you?!”- groans Drache, rubbing his ear.
        “We've been asking you about Clend's fiance!”- scolds his friends.
        “Well , honestly.. he has a look but he's such a dumb jackass.”- said Drache.
        “How so?”- wondered Viviann.
    “You'll know.. he's going to attend here at the university.. with Yachel..”- he said but his tune suddenly changed in sadness as he spoke the girl's name.
      “Yachel?..”- murmured Jyller looking at his sad friend.
        “Who's that?”- Chiraa asked. Jyller glared at her and said. “Leave it!”- then Drache sighs lifelessly.
        “I couldn't imagine she's her cousin..”- said Drache. Jyller and Vrainn was surprised.
        “What are you gonna do?”- asked Jyller.
       “Who knows..”- Drache's only response.
       “Oh! She's here!”- yelled Deeland.
       “Hi , guys!''- Clend's greeted them and sat on a chair at Drache's left side as Yachel sat on her cousin's left side.
        “Guys.. this is my cousin , Yachel Llyca Hoshi. “- she added. Yachel smiled at them softly.
        “I'm Jyller , this is Stheev the casanova , Deeland , Dhaenne , Chiraa and Viviann..”- he said.
     “Hey! Why am I the only one with insults?”- protested Stheev , but Jyller just glared at him.
        “Good Morning, Drac–”- Yachel says but interrupted when Drache suddenly stood up.
        “I'll go first..”- he said and left as fast as he could without even finishing his meal.
        “How rude of him..”- said Steev.
        “Let him be..”- says Vrainn and continues on with his meal.
         “I'll follow him..”- said Clend and left.
        “You might have known that Klidde is studying here too , right?''- Jyller looks at Yachel with contempt.
        “Uhm.. Ye-yeah..”- stutters Yachel as she looks down avoiding Jyller's gaze.
        “You know Klidde?”- wondered Viviann. Yachel just nodded.
        “Klidde is her fiance..”- coldly said Jyller that shook his friends except with Vrainn who just focused on his meal while Yachel turns her head the way where Drache and Clend took and left in sorrow.
        “Still haven't broken the engagement?”- asked Jyller , Yachel played with her fingers in nervousness.
        “I.. I'm not strong or have some kind of resolve to disobey like Clend.. if I did.. if I did..”- states Yachel in trembles.
         “Don't you love my brother enough for you to not refuse the engagement at all?”- Vrainn asked angrily. Yachel looked at him in silence until her tears fell on her cheeks.
         “He never changes.. you should too..”- he added.
        “I'm scared.. I'm too afraid..”- she cried. Jyller sat next to her and patted her back, which surprised Stheev , Dhaenne , Chiraa and Viviann.
        “You have Clend.. and us.. we're willing to help if ever you and Drache need it..”- comfort Jyller with soft gentle voice as he embraces her close to his shoulder.
        “Jy..”- whispers Yachel and cries in Jyller's arms. “I miss him so much..”- she added.
         “So does he..”- says Vrainn.
