What Is Love?

CHAPTER 6

Nadine POV
It has been 2 months from that lunch incident. I had occupied myself with school stuffs. I want to keep distract from him. I guess I can’t avoid myself from seeing his photo, our photo. I keep it in my personal books, and I may sound obsessive, but I do look at that photo every single day since he leaves without hearing my words.

Why did he cry that day? If he doesn’t like me, he shouldn’t be cry. I never know that he would ever cries. Samuel that I know is happy virus for everyone. What make he cried?

Last times, my mom invited him for dinner. The wedding photos were done, and my mom want to thank him personally. I guess he had no choice. My mom would never accept “a no”. I don’t want him to be uncomfortable, so I skip dinner that day. I guess he didn’t want to see me, I don’t want him to be guilty for not liking me. I can’t force him.

Sam POV
“What have gotten you, boy?” Spenc ask me.

“Ermmmm, whyy? I’m good,....all good. Everything fine...now,” I said to her.

“No, boy. You’re drunk, and this is not my first time seeing you like this. You’ll be all sane at working day and drunks during weekend. Did work stress you out? Did my friend bullying you?” she asks again.

“No, your friend had been good. I am just, just wanna drinks. That’s all.” I said to her and went upstairs.

Yes, I am all drunk. I need that to forget about her. I can’t love her. I’ve been successfully to forget her back then because she’s not around. But, now, I know she’s here, she’s near, she’s in the town. I can easily approach her.

I open my wallet and take out a photo, it’s me and her. It was taken during one of our short date back then. I miss old time, the old me. How I wish my dad never died and never hope of us? Or how I wish my dad just died without knowing about us? Why is it affect me too much?

“So, that was her. Let’s me see,” Spenc suddenly approach and snatch the photo from my hands. I try to take it back but it’s too late. She sees it already.

“Wow. Wow. Wowwww! What is this? No, I know what this is, but,  Is this mean that you two……?” I take back the photo, but Spenc still have shock expression.

“It’s complicated,” I said to her.

“Tell me.”

As I’m not in the right mind, I did tell her.

“You’ve been unfair to her, Sam. I know you hate our dad, but you can’t punish her because of what you feel towards dad. She must be really hurt if she have a feeling for you. You never heard anything from her, right? And from what I see, you seem to love her, way too much, I guess? You’re just hurting each other, Sam,” Spenc tell me.

“If you’re still behaving like this, you’re no different with dad. But still, don’t hate him too much, he was a loving dad before the bankruptcy. Anger, grudges and hates will never solve the problem. He’ll never peace if you’re put too much hates. I know you’re better than him,” She adds.

Then, she leaves me with full of thoughts.

Next morning, I wake up early. I heard noise from downstairs, Mom and Spenc would never laugh that much.

Nadine POV
“Good morning, Bro,” Spencer said to the person at my back. I turn arounds to see Sammy at the stair.

“What?……..Seriously, Spenc?” Sam said and look at Spenc.

“What? She’s my guest, can’t she come?” Spenc said back to him.

Yes, Spencer call me last night. It’s almost midnight, she did tell me that she knows everything about me and Sam. She said sorry on her brother’s behave. She did invite me for breakfast, but I rejected at first. She force me till I accept it.
