JANESSA POV

'You asked him to cook for you?'', Marlene looked shocked when I told him about the incident where Cris apologizes to me.

''Jeez... why you make that expression? You should give this reaction when I mentioned that he apologizes to me'', shaking my head, I looked up to her.

''Oh yeah speaking of which, that was a miracle though. He apologizes to you. But leaving that aside, are you sure he didn't scold you or throw you out since you asked him to cook?'', she was literally shaking me.

'' damn, what's so big deal in it?'', I sighed while eating one slice of mango.

''Cooking is Cris's passion. He started to cook because of our mom and because of Maya. Mom was a great chef. After mom, Maya's cooking tastes exactly like mom. So Cris had this passion for cooking because of her but then he quit because of Maya too. He says he hated to cook since it will make him remember about her. Last time, I still remember, he damaged his own kitchen and vow to not cook again'', she explained.

''Shit, what I did?'', I cover my mouth. ''if I knew about this, I wouldn't ask him to cook'', I said guiltily.

''Hahaha... that's alright... instead of throwing you out from the house, he just walked away'', Marlene shrugged.

''Jeez...I'm the one who walked away'', I muttered slowly.

But she was correct though. It's surprising that he didn't react right away to me. If not, I would be dead of him. Better I start to find another rental room soon.

I went back to my hometown that weekend. Being with my mom really had me at ease. But I didn't tell her anything about what happened to me. I don't want to get her worried.

Heavy heartedly, I bid farewell to my mother and back to Cyrus City. Entering the house, it was dark and quiet.

Jeez... they didn't even switch off the lights?

As usual, the hall was a mess with beer bottles, snacks, rubbish and so. I'm not a hard-working person but seeing this unclean hall, I decided to clean it first.

After cleaning the place, I took a quick bath and laid down on the bed. I'm so tired. And tomorrow I have work. 

Around midnight, I woke up since my stomach started to ache.

Shit, period pain...

I totally forget to buy painkillers. At first, I try to bear the pain but no, it was increasing. Walking down slowly, I try to search for paracetamol in the drawers but didn't get any. Mustering my courage, I walked to Cris's room. Marlene told me that she won't be around for a few days since she's going on a business trip.

Raising my hand, I wanted to knock on his door but stopped. What if he's in bad mood? I shouldn't trouble him at this night...

Leaning against the door, I close my eyes while letting heavy sighs. Turning around, I jumped a little when I see Cris in front of me. He was looking straight into my eyes.

Did he angry with me for asking him to cook for me?

''d...do you have any painkillers?'', I asked him hesitantly.

''No...'', he replied. ''Why?''

''hmmm.... It's ok... Thanks'', I walk forward.

I don't know why this time the pain doesn't stop. I'm rolling around the bed while grabbing my stomach. Someone touches my shoulder. Opening my eyes, I saw Cris beside me.

''What happened?'', he asked me in a normal tone.

''stomach pain'', I replied as I lifted my body to lay against the headboard.

''let's go to the clinic'', he suggested. ''gastric?''

''hurmm... no... it's just....girls' problem'', it was too awkward to tell him about my menstrual pain.

''Wait here'', he said as I saw him leaving the room.

After some minutes, he came with a bottle of water and a mug in the other hand.

''Put this on your stomach'', he showed the bottle. I was surprised when he understands my pain. Normally guys won't easily understand this.

I did as he instructed. I put the hot water bottle under my shirt rubbing it softly.

''Drink this'', he hands over the mug to me.

''What is this?'', I asked him curiously.

''Fenugreek. It can reduce your pain'', he explained as I gulped down the herbal drinks.

It was pure silent since then. He sat at the sides of my bed while playing some game on his mobile. I wonder why he stays here. 

''thanks'', I talked after some time. Now I feel the pain reduces a lot. His eyes looked up to me and then back to his phone. 

''you know even my elder brother doesn't know anything about this. Normally he will just pretend that nothing happens since he doesn't know what should do'', I smile. ''but... although you are younger than me and him, you know better''

He doesn't say anything.

'' do you have any elder sister?'', I asked him.

''why? You want to be one?'', he smirked.

''Why not?'', I asked him happily. ''I don't have any younger brother either''

''No thanks. I have had enough pain in ass siblings'', he stated coldly.

''Well, it's ok if you don't want. But for me, I will regard you as my younger brother ok? Maybe I can teach you as an elder sister''

''Enough!!'', he suddenly throws his phone at the wall. I was shocked by his action. Just a moment ago, I saw a kindhearted Cris and now it's vice versa.

He left my room. Sighing, I get down from the bed and walked to the wall side to take his phone. The screen was damaged but thank god, still can use it. Someone grabs the phone from me. I saw Cris in front of me.

''It's already 4 am. Take leave tomorrow. I will bring you to the clinic to take MC'', he informed me.

''Cris, you no need to do this'', I told him. ''I will be fine''

''What now? You angry with me?'', his expression changed to serious.

''No I'm not'', I smile. He was staring at me. ''yeah I was shocked but doesn't mean I'm angry'', sighing, I looked up to him. ''I know you don't like me. So, I didn't expect you to accept me as your sister''

''Anyway thank you for helping me'', I said sincerely. ''I want to take some sleep''

Without saying anything, he walks out of my room. Somehow, he was right. I don't want to go to work since it's already around 5 am. After sending a message to my manager, I slept off.
