CHAPTER 07.

5 years ago.

Zinnia's POV

Today is Kenneth and I's anniversary. It's been 3 years and we are legally in our family. On our first anniversary, Kenneth introduced me to the family, and they agreed. On our second anniversary, I also introduced him to my mom, but I haven't introduced him to Dad yet, but today is our third anniversary. I will introduce him to my dad, so I'm excited today. Before I introduced him to my dad, I went to his house first, and I didn't wait for Kenneth to come over; I went to their house instead. I always go to the house because we are legal.

I texted him that I was on my way to their house, so he wouldn't go to mine. I am so excited to meet my father. My father is kind, so I know he will agree with us.

I was already at their home, and their guard let me in. "Hi Ma'am"

"Hello," the guard is used to saying.

I entered the house, and Freesia and her family were there too. Why? As far as I know, their families are enemies. They don't even feel my presence yet. So, I listened to their conversation.

"Dad, we can't get married."

"I have a girlfriend and I'm going to marry her," Kenneth said to his father. Wait! Getting married to whom?

"Yes, dad. We can't, "said Freesia. Are they getting married? How about me? I thought that Kenneth and I were legal in his family. Why would they let him marry someone else and my best friend? My tears were already falling.

"The two families can ally with each other without marriage, right? So why? " They're solving family conflict by arranging marriages.

"We can," which means they're getting married. I walked away from their house.

Wow! What a great surprise for our anniversary! What the hell? I hate this. started to cry.

Third person's POV

When Zinnia left, the conversation ended.

"What will happen? But the sure thing is that I will fight for Zinnia. " He left, and Freesia followed him.

Kenneth looked at his cellphone and saw a message from Zinnia and stopped walking.

'I'm going to your house'

That was 25 minutes ago.

Did she hear about it? Kenneth's mind: "Hey, Kenneth. I thought that you and Zin were going somewhere. And she's going to introduce you, and that's exciting. Freesia said as she followed Kenneth, "I think she heard it."

"huh?"

"She heard it."

"How can she hear it? She's not here. "

"She texted me that she was on her way and that was 25 minutes ago."

"What?! Let's ask the guard if she was here. "

"Hello, Manong," Freesia said, "Did Zinnia come here?"

"Yes ma'am, she left crying, but before she got inside, she was happy when she came in."

"What?!" Freesia and Kenneth shouted at the same time. So they immediately went to Zinnia's house.

Zinnia's POV

I thought we were legal in the eyes of his family, but why would they let me marry Kenneth to Freesia? It's fine if it isn't freesia, but how about me? Neither can others. Yes, Zinnia, but it hurts more when your best friend marries your boyfriend.

Right now, I am currently in my room. The worst part was that it was on our third anniversary.

My cynical moment was interrupted by a knock. Who is knocking on my door? Mom is doing groceries.

Before I open my door, I wipe my tears. Nice timing. It was freesia, so I immediately closed it, but Kenneth stopped it.

"Zinnia, let's talk."

"What are we going to talk about?" I asked without energy but trying to close it, but Kenneth used his force to stop the door.

"Yes, Zin," Freesia said, "fine. What? " I let go of the door.

"Freesia and I will not get married," Kenneth stated, and Freesia nodded as she agreed.

"How about your family and your family?" I asked them Freesia answered, "I could run away on the day of the wedding."

"No"

"We could go somewhere, Zinnia. far away from here. "

"Yes, that's right," Freesia agreed.

"No, we can't. Just follow your parents. "

"But..."

"No buts. This is for your benefit. "Your families can be friends again."

"I know, but when we divorce, the two families will no longer be friends."

"So don't divorce, as simple as that."

"But we don't love each other," Kenneth said.

"learn to love each other too"

"How about you?" She asked, "Maybe Kenneth is not for me." My tears started to fall and they hugged me, "There is a time that you need to let go of the one you love to make others happy. Don't be selfish. We are not destined for each other. Freesia, love him for me. And Kenneth, love her for me. Okay? It's like you love me too. Okay? Give me a nephew. " I said to them, "Hai hai." We hugged each other again.

After 3 weeks, they get married, and I am the bride maid. But gossip cannot be avoided at school.

What they are saying is that maybe Kenneth doesn't want to be with me anymore and only with Freesia. That's why he left me. Sometimes gossipers really can't do anything in life but make up gossip. And after a few weeks, the gossip disappeared. But it was inevitable that someone would feel sorry for me.

Our schoolmates know us. It seemed like the best of times, but it disappeared in an instant.

This is why arranged marriages are so demanding.

An arranged marriage destroys everything.

Now, little by little, I have moved on and I am still getting ideas on how they can get closer to each other. We feel sorry for the child when his parents don't love each other.

I hope when I find the one I love, there is no arranged marriage that will happen that could separate us. Kenneth was the first and last boyfriend. He was my second love.

Why second? Because when my parents didn't divorce, I met a boy who captured my heart, and my heart has been temporarily free, but now when Kenneth and I broke. My heart was captured by that boy again.

I don't really remember him, but when I do, I want to marry him.
