I easily got along well with Andrew’s family. In fact they invited me again this weekend to spend time with them.
I don’t have a work in my dad’s company because my work schedule there is only Monday to Friday. I also don’t have schedule with Vince this weekend so I am free to meet Andrew’s parent again.
“Alli I’m glad you came!” Auntie Gwen said when she saw me.
After we greeted each other we went inside their house.
“Auntie is there an occasion today?” I curiously act upon seeing some family relatives of Andrew.
“We don’t have Alli. It so happen that they also visited me today.” Auntie Gwen said.
I look around to see if Iya is also here.
“Is Iya also here Auntie?” I asked when I failed to see Iya.
“Oh yes she’s also here. I think she’s in the pool area. She looks sad actually, she seems have a problem.” She also look concern when she said that to me.
“Really Auntie? Is it okay if I went to her now?” I said worriedly.
She just smile and nodded. I did the same then I told Andrew that I will talked to Iya first.
I saw Iya sitting near the pool. And Auntie was right, Iya looks sad. I went closer to her.
“Iya!” I called her.
She look at me and gave me a smile. I knew that her smile is not genuine because it didn’t reach her eyes.
“Are you okay?” I said worriedly.
I went and sit beside her. I could see that her tears is about to come out.
“I think you will treat me twice. Remember the deal? You won.” She softly said.
I frowned. “What do you mean I won?”
She sighed aloud. “Mavin has a girlfriend. And obviously the girl is not me.”
After she said that, she wasn’t able to control her tears anymore. She cried silently beside me.
I hug and comfort her.
“I honestly don’t know what to say to comfort you. But maybe there is someone out there that is more deserving for you love. Maybe you were not meant to be.” I said almost whispered.
I know what I said to her hurts. But truth hurts, right? Its better go be hurt by the truth than to hoped for nothing.
“I-i love him.” She said while crying.
“I know. But you know what I realize? That everything happens for a reason. We may feel hirt for now, but once the perfect guy came you will be thankful that it didn’t happened because if it does you will not be able to with your perfect guy.” I said softly to comfort her.
I have been there, I was able to overcome it. Its not easy but it is also not impossible to overcome. I know she can do it.
“You think so?” She asked.
I nodded and smile at her. “I’m sure.”
Iya calmed herself after a few more talks. Then Andrew came.
“Hey ladies mind if I join you?” He said.
“What if we say no?” I teased him.
He grin. “I will still join you.” He said the he sat beside me and gave me a kiss on cheek.
“Hey Andrew can’t you see that I am broken-hearted right now?! Can’t you stop acting so sweet and in love in front of me?!” She hissed.
Andrew forehead creased. Oh no Iya your mouth!
I look at Iya and gave her a warned look. Knowing the overprotective side of Andrew, I’m sure that he won’t take it lightly especially Iya is involved.
“What do you mean? Who broke your heart?” Andrew asked seriously.
Iya realize what my warning means just now because of his cousin’s not so good reaction.
“Nothing! I was just kidding!” she said obviously nervous.
“I don’t think so. Who is he?” Andres asked coldly.
I look at Iya and mouth to her “leave us here. I will handle him”
She nodded at me.
“I said it was a joke. I leave you two here. Bye lovers!” She said then she immediately made her way out.
“Allison.” He called me in a cold voice.
I cleared my throat. Omg! What will I say to him?
“Tell me.” He commanded.
“Andrew…” I don’t know how to start.
I sighed. “Mavin already has a girlfriend that is why Iya said that she is broken-hearted. Obviously your cousin love that guy. Well I think somehow it is also our fault because Anne and I keep pushing those two together. Sorry.” I said then I lowered my head.
I really feel guilty. Maybe if we didn’t push Mavin to Iya, maybe her feelings for him will not be that hard. It hurts to admit it but I was one of the people who made her hope for nothing.
He looked at me and after awhile he gave me a hug. “Its not your fault. You guys will never push them together if the guy didn’t gave a hint.”
I knew that he only said that to comfort me.
I hug him back. “You’re right. If you will just see them when they are together and when you heard Iya’s story about them you will also think that Mavin likes her. We were very sure about but we don’t know what happen to those two.”
I can’t be mistaken. Mavin likes her. Well if I remember I also made a mistake about Jester’s feelings for me. So does it mean that it is another Alli-Jester sad love story?
I feel sorry for her. I know how painful it is. I’ve been there, done that.
“Don’t worry about Iya. I will handle this.” Andrew said in a serious tone.
I frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I know that look. Baby I will never do something that will worry you. So relax okay? Trust me.” He said sincerely.
I sighed and the I nodded. But I know deep inside I am still anxious about this thing. Maybe because I already experience it and I know that it is not simple.
He kissed me on my forehead. “Baby don’t think about it okay? Just think about me instead.” He grinned and he hug me tightly again.
