Please Remember Me - Chapter 8 Chapter 7

“Gwen?”

Her tears wouldn’t stop. it just keep running from her eyes, running down the cheek, and dropped to the earth.

Then he said with a loud voice, yet still not screaming,

“You idiot!”

The tears just coming out more and more, as my mother just watch without making a voice.

Then my sister said with a sad and soft voice,

“You said… That I’m not the heroine… I thought I could finally discard this feeling for you…”

“Gwen…” I’m trying to say something, but don’t know the word I suppose to say right now.

Then she said,

“I thought I could finally discard this feeling. When one day you came home and said to me that you got a girlfriend, I tried my best to hide my feeling and succeed.”

“…”

“When I heard your girlfriend had an accident, I felt relieved. I know I shouldn’t, but I’m glad that she won’t be flirting with you, she won’t be all over you.”

“…”

“I’m… I’m sorry…” She said that, and just running out from the house.

I tried to call her name.

“Gwen!”

But there’s no sign of her coming back. Just then, my mother just come closer to me, and said,

“What are you waiting for? Go get her!”

“O… Okay!”

I started running out of the house, as fast as I could. My mother just watch us running, as she close the house’s door from inside.

*****

“Huff… Huff.”

I’m running like crazy, trying to find her around the town. As I talk to myself,

“It’s getting late, the sun is about to set. I better find her fast!.”

Then I thought to myself, “Where would Gwen go if she’s feeling down?” Then I came up with a place. I run to the place as fast as I could.

*****

“Hah..hahh…”

As I’m panting from running beyond my capability, I’m finally arrived at the place.

The beach.

I search around for her along the coast. Then I found her, sitting while hugging her knees, while watching the sunset, facing the sea.

Then I call out her name as soon as I caught her in my vision.

“Gwen!!!”

As she turned to look at me, she see with a surprised face. She said, slowly,

“Brother, how did you find me?”

“Well obviously, because I’m your brother!”

She then didn’t said anything, as she turn back to see the sunset.

“Do you remember?” she said, with a sad face. “That this is the place that we spent in our childhood?”

“Of course I am! That’d be the reason why I came here.”

“One time, I sprained my ankle while running. And then, you’re the one who carry me home like a princess.”

“Yes, I remember clearly.”

“That’s actually the time that I had fallen in love with you.”

I’m surprised to heard that. I take a look at her embarrassed face. She looks beautiful with the light from the sunset, shining on her face.

“The next day, mom told me that we aren’t really had blood relation. I’m just a baby when mom and dad found me, abandoned in front of their doors. That happened 1 year after you were born.”

“Wait, they told you after that day? And they didn’t tell me?”

“Well I told them to kept this a secret because I didn’t want you to feel awkward to be around me.” I look back at her. She are smiling a little. Maybe because she was remembering the childhood.

“I’m sorry.” Said Gwen. “I didn’t mean to say those things about your girlfriend. I’m a terrible person.”

“That wasn’t true at all!” loudly I said. “Don’t you know how much you help me all this time? It’s because of you!”

“No! that’s not true!”

“It’s true. Your voice, your smile, it just made my day!”

“Don’t say it like that. If you say it like that, I’ll never stop from liking you!” She shouts out loud while facing me.

“Then don’t stop loving me! I don’t even care a bit!” I shout like crazy.

“What… How could you say that! Even after I said those things!”

“Like I care! In fact, nobody in this world care!”

“What?!” She stand up, clenching her fists, showing that she upset.

“Because you’re not the main heroine! You are just an extra! The extra’s sister!”

“Wha…”

We both looks at each other. She look at me, and laugh to her heart content.

“Hahahaha!!!”

Just then, followed by her laugh, I laugh out happily from my heart. We then watch together the sunset as we walk home together.

*****

While we on our way home, she said, “Don’t think I’m gonna stop loving you! I’m gonna snatch you from that woman!”

Scary! Does she always like this?

“Okay. I’m gonna show you how much I love her!”

“Okay… The contest is on!!!” She said with a big smile on her face. “To all the readers, vote me to become your heroine as I will make this novel more interesting than before!”

“What is this! A political Speech?!”
