Chapter 043

Suddenly my phone rang, I looked at who was calling. It's my brother, Vince, for sure he will scold me again. "You called?" I asked as I answer the call. (Why didn't you go last night? Mom waited for you but you just make her hopeless) he replied angrily. "I didn't tell her to wait for me and I didn't even talk to her yesterday. I already told Uncle Francis that I wasn't going, right? And I didn't give her false hope, she make herself hopeless." (Vienna, don't make me angry, you don't respect Mom anymore. Who did you learn that behavior, huh?!) I clenched my hand because of what he said. I'm the one who looks bad right now, I can't believe him. "Did you just call to give me a sermon? I don't have time for this. Do you have anything else to say? If you don't have, I'll hang up this call," I answered without emotion. He didn't speak anymore so I immediately dropped the call. That's why I don't want to go home because of them. I just sighed, he called just to scold me. "Are you okay?" asked the person next to me. "Yes, I'm fine," I shortly replied. "But you're not." "Why did you ask if you knew I wasn't okay?" I answered irritably. "Because you're going to lie, it turns out I'm right." "Just shut up, okay? Just drive and ignore me," I replied. He also fell silent and did not speak. I just looked out the window and sighed again. After an hour of driving, we already arrived at his house. After he parked the car, I just got out and looked around. Their house is also big, it has a large garden and a swing. I smell the fresh air here. 'Let's go inside," he said. I followed him into their house. I liked the design of the house and the furniture was well displayed. There is also a chandelier hanging in the middle as well as in the dining area. It's a big house but only two of them and his dad who's living here. "Good morning Mother Lerma, where is Dad?" he asked the maid who had just arrived. I think she and Mother Selda has the same age. But I never imagine that Sebastian is kind whenever he is here at their house. "Good morning son, I think he's in the office," the woman replied. "Thank you, just sit there first. I'll just go to dad, Mother Lerma, please take care of her," he said as he left. I wasn't even introduced myself, he really has a bad attitude. "Sit down first hija, what do you want to drink?" She asked and I sat on the couch here in the living room. "It's okay, thank you," I replied. "Okay, if you need anything don't be shy to tell me. I'll have to go to the kitchen." "Okay." She smiled at me before she left. I stood up and looked at the pictures that has been displayed. But almost everything I saw, are pictures of Sebastian. From the time he was a baby until he became a teenager. He also has pictures with his dad during graduation and other special events. I picked up a picture frame, he's with Britt and Enzo. You can see here his real smile that he doesn't want to show to everyone. "Vienna .." I turned around as soon as I heard Sebastian's voice and now his dad is with him. I returned the picture frame to its place and faced them again. His dad is good-looking and I think Sebastian inherited it from him. "Good morning sir," I greeted his Dad. He immediately came in my direction and suddenly hugged me. I was shocked at what he did, I didn't imagine that he would do this right away. "I'm sorry hija, I didn't mean to." "It's okay, sir," I replied after he let go of the hug. "You look like Sebastian's friend before, I'm sorry again hija." Did he mean Sebastian's girlfriend before? Look like me? Seriously? "By the way hija, I'm Kristopher Ruiz Angeles. May I know your name?" He introduced himself. So his son's full name is Sebastian Angeles? It's just now that I find out. Because every time that there is a recitation or maybe the teacher will ask him, his first name was been called and not his last name. "I'm Vienna Malvar, nice to meet you, sir," I introduced myself with a smile. "It's nice to meet you too, hija and by the way, are you related to Rey Malvar?" he asked and I just nodded. "He's my dad," I replied shortly. "How's your dad? We're business partners before and he's one of my friends," he said and I couldn't answer right away. They were just looking at me and waiting for my answer. "He .. passed away last month because of colon cancer," I said sadly. He and his son looked at each other and I saw the sadness in their eyes when I said that. "I'm sorry, hija," Uncle Kris apologized. "It's okay, uncle," I replied and I was forced to smile at him. "Dad, please excuse us, we'll have to go to my studio," Sebastian suddenly interrupted. "Okay, go ahead son, I'll just call you when the food is ready," his dad replied. I excused myself to Uncle Kris and followed Sebastian. I'm out of breath again, I don't want to talk about what happened to dad because until now I'm still hurting. The two of us went to the studio he was referring to, I also quietly followed behind him. He stopped in a room, he also opened it and I couldn't help but be amazed. His studio is beautiful, he has a recording area and also has a variety of instruments here. I also see posters of various bands on the wall. There are also many CDs on display, he really loves music. My mood changed suddenly because of the things I see here inside. "I'll just get something in the room, I'll come back," he said and I nodded in response. After he left, I immediately looked at the CDs on display. He has so many collections and I can't count them. Louie is right, he's a fan of the band Westlife and he's also a fan of the band Scrubb. Why do we have similarities when it comes to music? Is it all just a coincidence? Then I found out earlier from his dad, that I look like his friend who is also a friend of Britt and Enzo. Is that why he likes me because I look like his ex-girlfriend? Are Britt and Enzo nice to me because I look like their friend? It's a mess, what is the truth? I turned immediately when the door suddenly opened. Sebastian was carrying a cat and he was hugging it. It was cute and it wearing a dress that's why I immediately went in Sebastian's direction. I noticed that he was surprised but I just ignored him, it's just because of the cat that's why I approached him.
