What Is Love?

CHAPTER 15

Sam POV
I wake up with no Nadine besides me. Where is she? Am I just dreaming last night. I run outside, looking for any sight of her or maybe her car, but there's nothing. Damn it! why did she have to give a big affect to my life?

What should I do now, do I have to go back at my own's and face her or just stay at Camila? Maybe I have to go back at my own,..maybe that way, she will leave the house, and if Nathan do join her, it mean I should probably go back as earlier as possible before they did any unpleasant thing in my house.

I drive home after lunch. I got big fish this morning. Lucky me.

I can see Nadine's car infront my house. I hope everything will be good. I hope both she and Nathan will leave after some talks, I don't wanna long talk, if possible I don't wanna to see their face.

"Mom, Spenc, I'm home," I voice out with low tone, can't be excited when there are people that I wish not seeing, living here. It's Sunday, so, everybody home.

"Mom? Spenc?" I call them, as I didn't hear their respond.

"Hi, baby." Nadine's voice from my back. And what the hell did she's calling me baby. I turn around.

"Hi. Where's my mom and Spenc?" I said in flat voice.

"They're at the backyard."

"Ok." I started my step to the backyard but then stopped. "Oh, Nad, I don't know where did you hide Nathan, but both of you can go back, I'm here now, no need to worry,...thanks, by the way, for staying with my family," I continue my step, but then got smack on my back head.

"What the hell that you behaving this way AGAIN!!!!" Nadine shout as I turn around facing her.

"Are you crazy?" I shout back.

"You are! You're good and okay last night, and now you're being cold again," she's about to cry.

"What?...so, last night was real?  I thought I was dreaming, I'm so sorry.. This morning, I wake up,...and you're not there, so I thought it was dream. I'm sorry, sorry?" I beg her.

She hug me, then she crying. I feel guilty. "I'm not use to sleep in tent,...so earlier this morning,, I went back.. I just don't want to disturb your sleep. Please, don't hate me" She said in sad voice.

"Oh baby, it's okay, I'm sorry, I'm the one in fault her. It's okay, I'm such a jerk." I tighten our hug.

Someone clear their throat.
"You guys should probably get married now." It's Spenc, and mom at her back, smile seeing us. I'm happy now, I have my family and Nadine. And soon, me and Nadine will create our own family.

I know Nadine want it to be later, but as a man, I should deal with her family by myself first. I heard that his dad was at the hospital before, but a month has pass. Her family probably at home.

-Nadine's house-
I knock the door and Ora open it. I tell her that I wanna meet her family to discuss on Nadine. But, she told me that it's not a good time. I beg her till her dad comes from insides.

"How dare you coming here, boy!!" he shout.

"It's okay, dad. He's about to leave," Ora still force me to go back. But, I refused and that made her dad lose patience, and she punch on my face, I didn't avoid any of it till Ora shout for Alex's help. I have no choice but to go back with swollen face. Nadine will mad at me.

I was right. Nadine get mad when she's seeing me, and get more angry when she know that I went to her family house.

As I had break our promise, I'm not allowed  to touch her for a week, it's way too long, I'll never go there again, but still have exception, she still can touch me,it good though. She can't stand seeing my swollen face, she cry and angry to me as she's worried on me. That's why I love this girl so much.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you.. I just don't want you get hurt." She said while putting oilment on my blister.

I chuckles, "It's okay, baby. I want this."

"You never ask anything about my family." She said to me.

"I don't wanna force you, you can tell me anytime."

She tell me everything including her dad's condition. No wonder he seem trauma. But, he hurt her own daughter's feeling. Pity Naddy.

#6 months later#

Nadine POV
I love being here, finally being able to be with my love, but I kinda miss my family, I miss mom and dad. I can't hate him forever. He's still my daddy.

Now, me and Sam on our way to the hospital. My daddy getting worse. I don't care if he's still hate me being with Sam, but as his daughter, I need to be at his side at this moment.

"What are you doing here? I don't want you to be here, especially if that boy also here," my dad said sternly.

He still behaving like before. He's never change.

Sam leave to avoid the situation getting worse.

"Why do you hate him so much? I've been happy these days because of him, but it's still worried me when you still disowned me," I said, almost crying.

"You choose him over your family, we have raise you well, to think wisely, act greatly, but you still choose that kid."

"I love him, daddy and I love you too, but you never learn to accept the truth and you just living with your past, I respect you, daddy, but this is my life, my future, so, I'll decide. You know what, before coming here, I was imagine maybe that you will accept us to love each other. But, you're never change. I think I will end up getting hurt if I'm being here for so long, goodbye again, daddy. I am sorry on how I has behaved, but I love him. It will be much happier if you could accept us," I said, cry and then, leave him alone.

Nadine's Dad POV
I hate seeing my daughter crying. I have hurt her,again. To be honest, I am starting to be okay with them, but I hate myself for what I have done with them.

"MARRY HIM." - to naddy

"MARRY HER AND TAKE A REALLY GOOD CARE OF HER IN FUTURE." - to samuel

I text them, maybe it's time for closure.

Sam POV
It's finally happening. The wedding, of the love of my life, my angelbaby. It's took years, and we finally together. Her father finally approved us. Nadine has been persuaded me to marry her without her family's knowing, but I'm the gentleman, I'll not marrying someone when there's still unfinished business.

While I'm still preparing myself, Nadine's dad enter the room.

"Congratulation, boy. You finally managed to marry my daughter,...but, if you ever hurt her, even once, I will take her with me again."

To be honest, I still get nervous to face her dad, but his words kinda make me laugh. But, I control myself, what wrong with me today, I feel drunk.😅 I have to be serious, I am marrying my love of my life today.

"Yes, sir. I understand"

"I still not fully trust you, but I love my daughter, so that's it."

"Of course, sir. Of course, it is always love. and I love her too."

So, WHAT IS LOVE? Love is simple word but it's matters the most. Love is not always about relationship between partner, but there's also love in families, in friends, with life and dead and even with pets.

Love is not just simply because of what you feel. Love has many ups and downs. Love is about timing. Love is appreciate. Love is efforts. Love is sacrifices. Love is patient. Love is hateful. Love is jealous. Love is thinking, missing, worried of each other. LOVE IS LIFE.
