Chapter 048
"It won't change your decision, Vienna? You will adopt Billy? You know that you will have a great responsibility when he is in your care. Will you be able to cope with that, Vienna? It will not be difficult for you?"
I'm talking to Sister Celia now. He was the first one I told about the adoption but she didn't seem to agree with what I wanted.
"Sister, I know that when Billy is in my care, he is my responsibility. I just want Billy to have a good life. Sister, the number of children here in the orphanage is increasing and there are only seven of you taking care of them. I just want to help, Billy is not different from me and he's like my real brother. He'll be better taken care of when he's in my care. Don't worry, I'll hire a private nurse and a maid to take care of him when I'm busy. I'll take care of it sister, I can do everything," I explained. Sister Celia smiled and I think she agreed.
"I know Sister Fely will agree to what you want. But we still have to follow and accept whatever the decision of the court will be."
I was nervous, but my decision wouldn't change. May God bless me, may he help me, and may he not leave me in this challenge.
SEBASTIAN'S POV
I almost forgot that Vienna and I had a practice today. Fortunately, I woke up around 9 am, took a shower, and got dressed right away. Now I'm leaving the house and I hope Vienna won't be angry with me.
When I got to my parked car, I get inside and started it. I got a call from Britt when I left the house.
(Good morning bro, how was your sleep? Did you dream of Vienna?) It's morning but he immediately opened up this to me and he laughed at me on the other line.
"It's okay, I'm on my way to the orphanage. Why do you call?" I answered without emotion.
(Is that so, nothing bro, and I just really want to greet you. By the way bro, didn't Vienna mention to us before that Uncle Rey donated to an orphanage? Aren't you wondering why she was there and taking care of a child?)
When Vienna mentioned that she was temporarily living in an orphanage because she was taking care of a child, I was also surprised. I can't believe, she didn't tell us anything before about an orphanage. Vienna is not secretive, she tells everything.
"I don't know, I didn't even bother to ask her that," I replied.
(Alright, just ask the nuns. And maybe you can get some information about what happened to her 3 years ago)
Britt is right. I think they had been with Vienna before, they knew everything that had happened. Maybe when I find out everything, the anger and pain in my heart will disappear because of her sudden disappearance.
(Bro, when are we going to confess to Vienna? I'm having a hard time hiding the truth from her. She already knows the reason why your treatment of women has changed. She doesn't know that she's the one I'm referring to in the story and when she finds out, she'll be hurt. She will have a hard time accepting the whole truth about me, Enzo, and especially what you had before and who you are in her life)
Last night, I decided to introduce myself and tell Vienna the truth. I couldn't do what Vince wanted, that I avoid his sister. Yesterday, I realized everything when I was with her at home. I could not talk to her but I couldn't avoid her.
Vince is right, I will hurt Vienna and I will ruin her life. But all that will still happen, I can still hurt her. I think Vienna is already looking for a way to find out everything about her past. Before she knows everything, I'll admit it to her.
"As long as she doesn't know everything yet, we'll admit it to her. I'll find the right time when we can talk to her about that."
(Thank you, bro, thank you for your understanding. I know it will be difficult for you but we have no choice because until now she still doesn't remember us)
I thought when I took her home yesterday, she would remember something but her actions were not strange. It was like that was the first time she went to my house.
I don't know what to do to bring back her memory. I've given her the things she wants, I've shown her a pet she hates the most, and I've taken her home full of memories of the two of us but still nothing. There is only one way and that is for us to confess to her. I know it will be hard for her to accept everything but she needs to know who we are in her life.
VIENNA'S POV
Geez .. it was tiring, I regretted why I joined the children's game. I joined the chase game but I was always the loser because they ran fast and they targeted me. Who doesn't get tired? I was slow to run.
"Sister Vienna! Sister Vienna," they called me. I didn't look back because I might be fooled again. I always become the loser because of their prank like that.
"Sister Vienna! You have a visitor," I stopped running.
Maybe they're referring to Sebastian? I slowly turned around, he is and now he was surrounded by the kids. So I ran in his direction but I didn't even notice that he had been looking at me for a while.
"Are you our sister's boyfriend?"
"You're handsome."
"You and Sister Vienna are suited together."
That's what they keep saying, Sebastian can't answer.
"Kids." Fortunately Sister Louisa came and she stopped the children.
"Good morning," Sebastian greeted her.
"Good morning to you son. I'm sorry for these kids, they are all just naughty," Sister Louisa replied.
"It's okay sister, I don't have a problem with that," Sebastian said with a smile that surprised me.
"Thank you for that, son. Vienna, take care of your friend, we will leave you first." And Sister Louisa left with the kids.
"Are you tired?" he suddenly asked. I looked at him, is it obvious from how I look now?
"I'm fine," I replied and looked away from him.
"Here, wipe off your sweat," he said as he handed me a handkerchief.
I didn't take it right away and just stared at it. But he suddenly sighed and he wiped my sweat with the handkerchief he handed me. I was shocked and I couldn't stop myself from looking at him.
'Why are you doing this Sebastian? Because of what you have done, my heart is pounding nervously.'
"Fix yourself, you look like a street kid," he suddenly said as he left. I made a punch on him, it's a good thing he didn't look back. That guy was crazy, after wiping me, he suddenly insult me.
He went to his car and when he returned, he was carrying two plastic bags of food and a box of cake. Why is he so kind today? What did he eat?
"Here, I went to the supermarket to buy it. Please give it to the nuns and this cake is for you," he said.
I then touched his neck and forehead which surprised him. He doesn't have a fever but why is he so kind?
"Is there a problem?" he asked in surprise.
"Never mind, I'll help you to carry that," I replied.
I also gave the plastic bag with food on it to the children and also the other plastic bag to Sister Celia. I also went to Sebastian and he is currently strumming the guitar. I just sat next to him and listened to what he was playing. I couldn't stop myself from singing and accompanying him.
I immediately looked away from him when he looked at me.
"Let's get started," I stammered.
Why did I suddenly feel ashamed of him? Geez.. what is this I felt? Am I starting to like him? But why? How?
