Chapter 024

VIENNA'S POV In the end, I ate 'both" the food they have given me. Should I throw it away? I just wasted their effort. Even though I was full, I didn't stop until I had eaten both. My stomach felt like it was going to explode and I wanted to vomit. Why are they doing this to me? Yes, Tine is kind but Sebastian is kind too but I don't understand him. I am here now on the bench with the two ladies who have been looking at me since earlier. I already told them what happened earlier so they were also curious about what the two guys did. "Vienna, that only means one thing, they like you both," Therese said making me shiver. "That won't happen, Therese, I'm just new to this university," I replied. "Because you don't believe in love at first sight. Tine likes you because he suddenly walked out? What's that? Duh! In Sebastian's case, maybe he also likes you. That guy was not showy about his feelings. He does sweet things secretly and sometimes he does it voluntarily for everyone to witness," Michelle said. I thought about what she said, what if it was true? But I don't want to assume. "We can't find out now if that two likes you. We'll just have a clue what they'll do next," Therese added, making me sigh. "By the way Vienna, how did Sebastian know that you will eat what he bought? Does he know that you like green curry? I'm the only one who knows that it's your favorite, even if your mom and brother don't even know it," Michelle said. I was thinking about that earlier, can't it just be a coincidence? "I don't know it either, Michelle. I was also surprised," I replied. "Maybe he stalked you without you knowing." What Therese said made me think again. Can Sebastian do that? "He's the one they stalking, Therese. Geez .. don't mind it Vienna. It's almost time, let's go," said Michelle. Therese and I stood up but the three of us stopped when someone blocked our way. I don't know them, but it looks like I know one of them. "What do you need?" Michelle asked. "You're Vienna Malvar aren't you?" There was a streak of anger in her voice. She is also a second-year student, but not one of them answered Michelle's question. I'm probably they want to talk to. "It's me, what do you need?" I emotionless replied. "You're brave just because your a niece of one of the professors here," replied a woman with ponytail hair and a thickness of make-up. How did they know? Do all the students here already know? "Hey, you're brave too! Don't shout at my friend. What's the matter with you?!" Michelle angrily said. Everyone who heard looked at us, it's a good thing that not a single professor passed through this area. "Your friend is feeling like a star, attention seeker, she seems to be the best at everything. Are you going to claim everything? You only got into the Music Club because you have a backer," another woman replied. I clenched my hand because of what she said, they were running out of patience. "So that's an issue for you? I guess you're one of Sebastian's fans who brag just to get into the Music Club. And what did you say? My friend is an attention seeker? It's like you're just talking to yourself," Therese replied angrily. "What you're saying is that you're just jealous of Vienna because she passed, aren't you? Gape! It's not because my friend has a backer, she's passed the Music Club but because she's really good," Michelle added. It was as if one of them wanted to come to me and almost all of them looked at me badly. "What's going on here?" The three of us suddenly look back when someone spoke behind us. Sebastian came, the presence of the three of them was surprising even the five-woman were also shocked. "We'll meet again Vienna, remember that," one woman threatened me and they left as well. Her threat was frightening as if she was planning to do something bad to me. "Aren't you ashamed? Everyone was been looking at you since earlier but you still haven't stopped," Sebastian said without emotion, which surprised the three of us. "So what do you want to convey? It's our fault? My friend was been bullied and they saying nonsense things," Michelle replied angrily as she put her hand to her hips in front of Sebastian. "But you don't have to fight back," Britt said calmly before looking at me. "We don't have to fight back? They're out of patience, are we going to let go of it?" Therese replied angrily. I've wanted to talk since they came but maybe something else came out of my mouth and they didn't like it. "You weren't even able to fight yourself, I thought you were brave?" Sebastian said suddenly. "I can fight myself, and do I know you?" I replied. The way he said that seems like he knows me, damn him! He doesn't know so he shouldn't bother me. "If you can, why didn't you do it? You just talk but you never do," he said seriously before leaving. Britt and Enzo also followed him. I just felt it now, I've never been annoyed with this so much as if I wanted to fight and that's just because of what Sebastian said. SEBASTIAN'S POV "Bro, why did you say that? Is that also your plan for her to remember you?" Britt asked. I don't know but it seems like that's what I want to convey to him. --FLASHBACK-- "Dad, are you going to talk to me?" I asked when I got out of the room. I didn't hesitate to go downstairs because Mother Lerma said that what dad had to say was important. "Yes son, about what happened to Vienna 3 years ago," he replied to my surprise. I sat on the sofa in front of him and he put a picture on the table. "Look it son, but I hope you don't be surprised." Since I also wanted to see the content of the photo, I looked at it. A vehicle collided with a ten-wheeler truck and there was a person inside the car. "A staff member of Vienna's dad's company gave it to me. There was an accident 3 years ago and she was the one involved," said dad. I'm still looking at the picture but I'm too nervous. I can't believe that Vienna is the person inside the car. "The accident was so severe that Vienna almost died. She was taken to the hospital but it turns out that she was in a coma for almost 2 weeks. When she woke up, she didn't remember anyone and who she was facing. After that, there has been no news of where she was taken. They have also moved to another place and no one knows where it is." My tears were already flowing because of what dad told me and I couldn't stop them. That's why when our paths met again, she wasn't even surprised when she saw me and that's the reason, she had an accident. "Son, we still don't know the whole reason why they took away Vienna from you. But hopefully, that incident will take the anger out of your heart. Until now, Vienna still has amnesia. I hope you can understand and accept what happened. I hope you learn to forgive her and I hope you make a way for her to remember you." --END OF FLASHBACK-- "Please don't make Vienna confused with what you're saying, instead she'll remember you or us, that won't happen." I couldn't answer Britt, I kept quiet because I knew what I did was wrong. I told them what Dad had told me and even then, they couldn't believe what had happened to Vienna. We didn't receive any news that she had an accident. It's like we're fools looking for where she went but that's it, she's in the hospital and in a coma. "I think, apart from the accident, something bad happened to Vienna. She knows and remembers us now but she didn't. It's been a long time. We need to talk to Vince, he's the only one who can answer it," said Enzo. Apart from the accident that happened, something bad happened to Vienna because if it wasn't, she remember me now but she didn't. Vince can help me but how can I talk to him? It's been a long time since I last talked to him and when we meet here at the university, he didn't seem to know me. I feel like he knows something but he tries to hide it from us, especially from his sister.
