Please Remember Me, Alexzia

Sister's Threat

MAGNUS

        I felt l like I was walking on clouds…

        After making sure that Alexzia has safely entered the house, I walked on to our house. I can’t explain how I felt but one thing was   for sure, I’m happy and it feels good. I reached the top of the stairs, still in high spirits.

        Upon reaching the second floor, I was about to go past the sitting area when a familiar figure met me.  She was seated at the sofa and was facing the stairs, as if she was waiting for me. It’s my sister and I think she’s not in the best mood tonight because she wore a scowl on her face.  I planned to avoid her because I hate to turn this beautiful night into a nightmare but ignoring her would only provoke her and make things worse for me. With that I decided to just greet her and then leave the area as fast as possible.

        “Oh, you came,” was my greetings to my seventeen-year-old big sis.

        “You don’t look happy to see me, though,” was her sharp reply.

        “Like you’re so happy to see me,” I said with sarcasm which earned me a deathly glare. “So, I thought you won’t be coming here. What made you change your mind? I thought I could be free from my beloved big sis Rachelle Kim for two months or longer.”

        She again flashed her specialty, deathly glare then snickered.

        I was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly spoke.

        “Hey, Magnus! I’m not done yet!” She said angrily but she successfully kept her voice down probably to avoid getting the attention of our parents. “Stay here ‘cause we need to talk,” she commanded.

“What now?” I asked irritated by her sudden flare of anger. “You hate me so much. Why would you want to see me longer than I could endure?”

        “Listen to me, while I’m being nice. Sit down and let’s talk,” she said as she glared at me.

I don’t know why but I obeyed her. I sat on the sofa opposite her and anticipated bad news or something similar to that.

        “I saw you and that girl at the kiosk. Eww, cringey!” she said and made a sour face.

        “That’s none of your business,” I said snapped and sighed audibly.

        “End it with her before I tell Mom about it,” my sister said punctuating every word as she glared at me all the more.

        “Why should I? It’s not like you dictate how I should feel and who I should love.” I spat back.

        “Love?” She asked with widened eyes. “Do you know what you’re talking about? You’re just a kid and here you are talking about love.” She laughed sarcastically.

        “You’re right, I’m just a kid but you should be happy that I know what love for others is. I’m not like you, my dear big sister, who only loves herself. You only have hatred for me. Why be concerned now?” I replied and stood while she got angrier. “I’m not like you who treats relationships like they’re some disposable things.”

        “And besides,” I continued. “You know Mom adores Alexzia so I’m a hundred and one percent sure that she is on my side. She would be very happy to know that I love Alexzia and that I confessed my feelings to her.  Would you like to come with me to go tell Mom now? It’ll be fun, don’t you think?

        “I’m just trying to protect you from her,” my sister said while pointing a finger at me. “Do you know her well? I’m pretty sure that she just likes you for money!”

        “Now you’re talking about money,” I said after sighing. “I’m just a kid so I practically don’t have my own money. Also, we’re not marrying now… but maybe in the future. And last but not the least, my dear sister, I know Alexzia since I can remember. She’s the nicest, most lovable girl I have ever known. Why, she’s even nice to you even if you don’t treat her well.”

        “I’m not obliged to treat a servant’s daughter nicely, you know,” she spat.

        “You know what?” I replied, “You always look down on other people. You think that people want to be with others because of money. Not all people are like you. Money is not everything. I envy Alexzia and her sister because they’re close and they truly love each other. They can talk about anything together” I told my sister.

        “So what?” she asked as she folded her arms around her chest.

        I sighed then said “I wish I could be close to you too. I wish you could be a sister to me. I wanted to tell you and ask you a lot of things. I wanted to spend some time with you. But you treat me as if I were a stranger or worse, an enemy. When will you finally be a sister to me?”

        With that, I left my fuming sister to deal with her anger by herself. I heard her angry footsteps leading to her room. I wish she could think about what I told her.

        She still hated me and I think she didn’t want me to be happy. It’s just so unfortunate that she saw me confessing my love to my bunny. Nevertheless, I am still happy that I was able to confess my love for my Bunny. My heart goes crazy when I think of her.

Rachelle

        I walked angrily to my room after confronting my brother.

        I thought I would be able to stop him from his relationship with Alexzia but I was wrong. There are better girls from famous and rich families for him but why did he want her? It is just infatuation but I know my brother. He is so sure and he doesn’t act carelessly. He decides after thinking things over.  

        It is true that Alexzia seems to be a good girl but I’m sure that she is just trying her best to show her good side that my brother would like her. I wonder what she did that she has somehow bewitched Mom.

        I was only thinking of his welfare. How dare he tell me that I don’t know what love is. 

        But I don’t want her for him.
