What Is Love?

CHAPTER 5

Sam POV
It’s the first and last time I would be here, by mean the Watson house. Nadine called last night, where it’s indeed wrong timing. She invites me for lunch. I would end everything now. I’ll put away the feelings behind.

I knock the door. Then, Nadine appears, look way too good. No, I can’t. I don’t like her. We look into each other eyes, but then she speaks.

“Hi, you early," she smiles.

“Hi, urmm, yeah, the earlier, the better. You’re said it’s a party, but where is everyone?” I say.

“I,, I kind of lied to you, I means, I, I didn’t finish what I said that day,” she said to me.

“Yeah, me too."

“Come, let’s eat first.”

We walk together to the kitchen. Everyone is there, excepts their parents.

“Hi, Sammy," Aurora said with smile and I just nods.

Amel did welcomed me while she’s busy cooking something at the kitchen.

Alex, on the other hand, just sit there, ignores me. Nadine comes to him and whisper some words that make the boy comes to me to seek forgiveness. I’m return with simple “okay”.

Lunch starts, but awkward, and super silence until Amel speaks.

“Ok, I’m done with this silence. Sam, what is this? Last time we’re talks you seem okay, now you’re just dull?”

“I though you’re going to the honeymoon.” I said to Amel.

“You’re funny. Don’t change subject. And fyi, my honeymoon will be next week, your cousin still got jobs,” Amel reply.

“Let’s finish the foods first. I don’t want to ruin our lunchtime, and Aurora doesn’t need to know,” I said to them.

“I knew it,” Aurora simply said, and that got me shock. Did she seriously want everyone to know? Did her parents know? I really don’t want to ruin this lunchtime, but the sooner the better, right.

I stand. “I don’t like Nadine. I don’t even have the feeling toward her back then. All the past stories that you guys had heard is not true. I never seriously on everything with her. I want to be clear, I don’t want Nadine to think otherwise.” I said.

I knew I'll hurt Nadine, but I don't want to... I don't know.. Maybe I made mistake, I don't know anymore.

No one said anything. Then, Aurora who sit beside me, stand up.

“I never know that you’re this jerk, since when, huhh” she slaps me. I know I would experience this but never imagine this would be from Aurora.

Nadine still silence with her eyes stay looking down. Amel stared at me with disbelief and then, I receive another punch from Alex. What’s wrong with this family? So abusive.

“Stop! Just stop!” Nadine finally see my eyes. She’s cries. Am I too harsh?

“Naddy, let’s me handled him. Alex, brings her upstairs. You too, Aurora, go upstairs,” Amel command her siblings.

“No, I want to stay,” Aurora said while eyes still on me.

“I don’t think there’s more word to say. I made it all cleared. I’m sorry if I ever hurt her. I’ll leave and never disturb her again, like I did back then. It would never happen again,” I said while eyes on Nadine. She look hurt. I feel guilty but, I don’t have to be sympathy to her, this is what I want. To hurt her, so she’ll hate me forever.

Nadine POV
I can’t believe that he could said that to me. I can’t hold my tears, I cried in front of him, it’s such a shame. I don’t even said any words.

Alex pulls me to my room. I want to stay, so that I can tell him that I do feels something but I am just speechless. I don’t remember a thing, I am just too hurt. Did I really love him this much? I could still hear they voice from my room. Alex didn’t leave my room, instead he sits beside me.

“Sorry, I’m sorry, okay! Just let’s me leave, there’s nothing more, I made a mistake by being close to her,” Sam shout.

“Wow, Sam. You’re so rude, thanks God that I’d never falls for you,” Aurora said to Sam.

“I don’t know what you guys were plan by inviting me here, but I….” Sam said but I didn’t hear his last word.

Sam POV
Amel comes and stands in front of me. She looks at me to the eyes, want to seek for the real reason, but I went all silence. Without me knowing, I cried.

“You love her, right?” Amel asks me.

I slowly turn around and walk to the front door.

“You can’t just escape like that,” Aurora said to me which I ignore.

“It’s okay, Ora. Let him. But, as you know, Sam. You did all of this. You ruin this,” I stop at Amel’s word but then just leave.

As I open my car’s door, I notice Nadine from her room window. Her eyes were red and puff. She must really hurt. I just stare at her blankly then, get into the car. I cry heavily. Why am I crying? What is just happening? Is this the end?

“I LOVE YOU, NADINE WATSON...”

Nadine POV
As I hear that Sam is going to leave, I run to the window. I see him and he just staring, emotionless.

Now, I think I know what’s my real feeling. This feeling is huge and real. It has affecting my whole life. Maybe, before I was confused, but now I think I might fall for him again, despite he had hurt me now.

“I LOVE YOU, SAMUEL HARLEY.”
