"How are you dear?" Zacky's message
"I'm a little bit weak. What were you and my brother talking about?"
"Nothing. I just explained to him everything why you made me the character of your story.
"Is that all? Why I feel you are hiding something from me? What is it?
"You're overthinking dear, you better take a rest".
JA felt strange. So she tried to internalize everything because she has this vibe that something went wrong during Zacky and her brother's conversation.
She was still there lying on the hospital bed, while Jareed was sitting on the couch busy texting. She knew her brother was chatting with Zacky, she was sure of it.
Boo?, can I ask you something?
"Yes what is it, sweetie?" Jareed answered and went closer to her.
What were you and Zacky talking about in the chat? Why I feel there's something wrong? Boo please...tell me
"It's nothing sweetie take a rest. We'll go home later. I need to settle first our hospital bills, okay?" Jareed responded, intentionally making his voice more casual.
She just nodded while looking at her brother who went outside the room. She was in deep thoughts because things were lurking around the edge of her subconscious, so she took all the possible chances to figure out what was really going on. She was always good at that and even if she's not using her ability, still she could find out the truth. She chatted again with Zacky on messenger.
"Are you planning to block me and forget everything? My brother told me."
"What? He told you? Is your brother crazy?" Zacky replied.
Upon reading the message, she became emotional again. She was right. Zacky wanted to forget her, to erase her from his mind, in his memory. And it hurts her so much. She cried while trying to press the keyboard of her cellphone to type her response.
Then after some time, Zacky was becoming rude again.
Now tell me if it's wrong when I told you not to read my mind. Tell me if it's wrong to care for you when I know that you are not feeling well.
Go and ask your brother, how he wanted you to marry that man who betrayed you! Ask him, how he insulted me and blamed me that I am the reason why you were like that!
JA just kept on reading Zacky's messages while her tears kept flowing from her eyes.
She logged out of her account and kept on crying, covering her face with a pillow.
Her brother stepped inside and ran towards her.
Sweetie, what happened? why are crying?
"Boo, why did you insult Zacky? You don't understand boo. It's between us. You don't have to blame her. It's not her fault!", she quavered.
Sweetie, let's talk about it later, okay? For now, let's go home.
She did not respond. She could not understand how she feels if she was angry at her brother or what. She was still crying even inside the car until they arrived home.
She pulled off her brother's hand when he was trying to hold her in assistance. She hurriedly went upstairs and went inside her room.
After a moment her brother came in.
"Why did you insult Zacky boo? Why did you tell him, you are going to let me marry Ace! Why?", she exclaimed and continued sobbing.
"Well, I just wanted to test him, if he really cares for you. And he really does, because I can sense how he reacted when I told him I will let you marry Ace"
"And why you insulted and blamed him? What insult was that boo? Tell me!", she shouted emotionally.
Jareed looked at her with his eyebrows coming down together and his eyes glared at her.
"Jannah Arianne! How dare you talk to me like that! I am still your brother! And now I know, you become like that because of that person! Jannah wake up! That Zacky is not a man! She is a woman, and yet you're thinking of her as a man! Stupid!!! That's totally bullshit!", Jareed shouted angrily.
"And what if she is a woman boo? Am I not allowed to love her? Do you think love is limited to man and woman only? You don't understand boo. I thought you believe me. Now tell me, what did you tell her that made her feel she was insulted?" she asked intently.
"Okay fine! you want to know?" Jareed screamed annoyingly.
"I told her, why of all people you chose her to be the character of your story when there were plenty of men, who are running after you. I told her, what life she could give to you when she is only a woman and cannot reciprocate your love?
"That's what you told her? That's why she said she wanted to block me and forget everything about me because she feels like you wanted her to stay away from me", she uttered with disappointment.
Then she went to her closet and took all her clothes and placed them inside her luggage.
"What are you doing Jannah Arianne? If you are like that, it's better to send you to South Korea!"
But she did not respond. She continued packing her things while tears continued to roll down her cheeks.
"So, you want to leave this house? After what I've done for you?" Jareed exclaimed in anger.
"Then leave!", he said as he slammed the door and went out of her room.
JA was still crying while carrying her bag. She went downstairs and saw Nanny looking at her teary-eyed.
"Darling, please don't leave. You are not yet feeling well. Jareed is just worried of you"
"Nanny, I'm sorry but it's better to leave here while my brother is still mad at me. I feel the same too Nanny", she said and hugged her Nanny.
JA drove her car and sped up the road. She decided to go to one of her kid's house. She was planning to go to Josh but she was thinking Ace was there and it would not make her comfortable. She went instead to Gillian's house that's not too far from their residence.
Gillian was a 12-year-old kid. A smart and genius kid second to Josh. The little girl with straight shoulder-level hair, a fair complexion, and a lovely face.
Gillian was happy to see her and let her in. She was with her Nanny at home because her parents were on a business trip.
"Is there something wrong cher?", the little girl asked with her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Nothing sweetheart. I just wanted to stay here with you for a while", she responded and pinched her cheek.
"Oh okay cher, but are you not bringing with you, your bag cher?", Gillian asked curiously.
"I left it there inside the car sweetheart", she responded.
"I guess you're crying cher, did someone quarrel with you?"
"No sweetheart, never mind okay?" she said and tapped the girl's head.
Gillian just nodded and hugged her. The kid directed her to the guest room for her to relax.
She took her cellphone from her bag and read Zacky's messages on messenger. She told Zacky that she left their house because her brother was angry at her and she was angry too.
Zacky told her to return home and reconcile with her brother. But she did not listen because she was hurt. She did not expect that her brother would do that to her. And she did not also expect that Zacky was thinking of blocking her on Facebook.
She did not get enough sleep because she was thinking what to do. Her brother was angry at her and Zacky was hurt because he was insulted by her brother.
Thinking about Zacky's plan to block her and forget her, gave so much pain in her heart.
Is it already a goodbye for them?
She posted a poem on her timeline about the word "goodbye" because she felt it was already the end of their friendship. After a moment, she read Zacky's post about saying goodbye, no matter how much he loves and cares for that person, but it's better to let go than to be hurt all the time.
She sent crying emojis to Zacky in messenger. And then after a moment, there was a reply. "What happened, dear? Is it again your brother? This time I'll gonna kill him"
It's nothing baby. I just missed you
"I will go to Korea", she chatted, then tears began to fall from her eyes.
"Okay, go and never return!"
After reading it, she felt weak and could hardly breathe. She was thinking, that could be Zacky's indirect way of saying goodbye to her. She felt like it was already the end of everything. And how she wished the ground would open and swallowed her up.
Zacky sent her plenty of messages telling her how much he felt being insulted and disrespected by her and Jareed. He said he would never forget how he was treated by the two of them.
After some time, JA went back to messenger to type her response but it only appeared there, "Facebook user". It only means two things; Zacky deleted his account or she was being blocked by him.
She cried and cried because she was really hurt.
"Why baby? why?...
"Why it's easy for you to forget me?"
"Why did you leave me, when you said you care for me?"
"You promised me that you'll not gonna leave me, but why?
A lot of why's on her mind but she found no answer. That only made her cry even more.
She lost her breath.
She closed her eyes.
