*CHAPTER III*
(On the other side of the world...)
*Tanzalia's Narration*
Hell yeah! Goodbye Boston, hello California!
It seems like a new life for me. Hours of trip is so worth it! I knew it would be nice.
I can honestly admit I miss the cold weather Liz and I had way back Boston. It was an amazing Spring season we both had. Though I am tired, guess that I still manage to look into every inch of my new environment, my new home, California!
"Are we near your apartment now?" I asked.
"Well yeah.. Like 1 hour from now. Haha." Kevin laughed.
That's just my silly boyfriend. At the height of 5"8', I think it's just proportional for an Indonesian girl like me who's just 5"3' tall.
Kevin, born Kevin David Richardson, would probably the guy destined for me. I never met his dad, I only heard a few stories about him. I think he is just a man of few words.
He came from a middle class family, though I just know he had a younger twin brother Soren, Liz's siutor. His twin brother, was, I believe, was taken over their mom. No wonder they're a multi-millionaire in the UK.
Wearing a plain white shirt and walking shorts, he opened the door for me.
It wasn't that big actually.
In the wall, I can see their old family pictures, including the present one.
"Where's this one?" I asked him.
"That was the last birthday my twin brother and I had. I badly miss him. It was just a month before our parents got divorced. That was.. Long ago and I don't wanna remember him nor my mom anymore."
I knew there was something bad between the twins. I did notice about it.
"Can you do me one favor before I.. Kneel down in front of you and propose to you."
"Sure!"
Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm gonna be engaged to the man of my dreams! Oh gosh I knew it! I waited for this for 5 years! Oh how I wish Liz was here.
"Once you get proposed, promise me that you WILL GET AWAY FROM LIZ. I bet you would notice that I didn't talk much about Soren? Yes that is my favor."
"What?" I told myself. "This can't be happening. Yes I love Kevin, but I couldn't put my back on Liz. Without her, I wouldn't be living anymore!"
*flashes back when they were 8 years old*
"Lizzy! Come let's swim while the water's high!" Little Tanzalia said.
"Sure!" Little Liz replied.
*Little Liz and Little Sasa swam until the water goes deeper and deeper*
"LIZZY!!! Help me!!!"
*Sasa was near to drowning.*
"Here! Take me your hand!"
"LIZZZZY!!!!"
*Little Liz held Sasa's hand and helped her get back to the shore.*
*Sasa fainted because of too much stress.*
"Sasa? Sasa please don't leave me! Sasa!!"
*Liz became a first aider, doing all her best to get Sasa back to life.*
"Li..z.."
"Sasa!!!" Little Liz hugged Little Sasa tightly and cried tears of joy.
*Sasa gets back to reality*
"I... I'll do everything... In the name of love." I answered.
Kevin smiled at me. I know it is against my will. I don't know which weighted more, friendship or love? Many people find it hard to choose as well. And I am one of them.
Kevin knelt down.
"Will you make me the luckiest guy ever by marrying me?"
I had many voices telling me to say 'no', but what can I do?
"Yes."
He put the ring on my finger. Hugged me. He will never see the tears falling down my eyes. I tried holding it, but I can't. I was crying as he hugged me.
"I believe you're just happy and you can't help it." Kevin wiped my tears. "I'll wait for you inside."
I was staring at the moon... All alone.
I must be the meanest friend anyone could have. Liz.. Wherever you are... Forgive me. I hope you could. I will understand that on this day, you will curse me.
My phone rings.
It's Liz.
I'm sorry, Liz. I already made the decision. I already made it. I made it for you too, to save you, and your loverboy Soren, from being under the revenge... Of my now fiancé, Kevin.
It might be a year from now that the Tanzalia Liauw you once called sister, will turn into the terrifying human monster, named Tanzalia Richardson.
*Rejects the phone call and blocks Liz's number on her iPhone.*
I'm sorry Liz.
I'm sorry.
