Chapter 058

MICHELLE'S POV After what happened earlier in the garden, everything went back to normal but Tine's confession to Vienna became a rumor. But after that scenario, our friend became quiet and she was not talking to us. We don't know if she agreed to Tine to court her, we didn't even bother to ask that. I noticed that until now she was still thinking about that guy. I want to help him find Martin to end her problem. But, she didn't know what its last name was. And she forgot to ask Mother Selda about that. But I hope she allows Tine to court her. We are now in the cafeteria, we don't have any next class and it's already lunch break. "Friend, are you mad at us? I'm sorry," I said just to break the silence. But she ignored me and just bowed. "Vienna sorry, we just really want to help Tine," Therese said. Vienna looked up at us, her eyes filled with tears and she obviously just from crying. "It's okay, I'm just thinking," she replied. "Vienna, did you agree to let Tine court you?" Therese asked. Vienna didn't answer right away, but I think I already know what she answered. It's a big NO! "I'm confused by how I feel now so I wasn't able to answer Tine earlier. I don't want to reject him, he doesn't deserve that. Of all the women in the world, I'm the first woman he invited on a date and I'm also the first woman he'll court. And I don't want that to happen that I'm also the first woman who will cause to break his heart," Vienna said while crying. Therese and I were surprised, Tine didn't tell us about it. I don't think what happened earlier was just the first time he did it for a woman. "I don't want to make Tine hopeless, I don't want to hurt him but what can I do to prevent that from happening? Why me? Why not someone else? That he can be loved and he is ready to accept," she added. We come near to her and hugged her. I know her, what she hates the most is when she hurts someone. That's why when we were still in the US, she directly rejected men who planned to court her. Such situations are normal in Vienna and she is not yet ready to enter into a relationship. Now that she knows who Martin is in her life. I understood her, she just didn't want to make Tine expect and hurt him. But I'm hoping that the time will come when she will learn to love Tine and forget Martin forever. VIENNA'S POV Just after my class this afternoon, Therese came home first so I am now walking alone in the hallway out of the university. Until now I'm still thinking about what Tine said and the whole period earlier I was just quiet. I got to the parking lot and I just found that the students were surrounding my motorbike. "Excuse me," I said without emotion. Fortunately, they left as soon as they saw me. I just got on my motorbike and put on my helmet. "It's cool, that's her." "Isn't she beautiful? Who is she?" "She's a new member of the Music Club and Sebastian was her classmate. She's Vienna Malvar, Vince Malvar's sister." I ignored what they said and just left the parking lot. I have no plans to go to the shop, I want to go home and rest. When I got home, I went straight up to the bedroom. Rested for a while then took a half bath, and got dressed for bed. I am currently sitting on the bed while looking at the box given by Mother Selda. I want to know everything about Martin but I'm hesitant to open it. Suddenly my phone rang, it was Therese so I just answered it as well. "Hello, Therese, why do you call?" I said. (Hello Vienna, I just wanted to say hello to you. Are you home yet?) "Hmm.. earlier, I'm okay don't worry about me." (I can't stop myself from worrying about you because I know you're worried now and you're thinking a lot. Sorry again Vienna, we were just worried about Tine so we didn't tell him how you feel. That's why we didn't stop him and we do the surprise) I saw the sincerity in Tine's eyes earlier and I appreciate his effort. But I don't know why I wasn't happy with what he did? My heart has turned to stone so I don't feel anything for him? Or is it because of Martin, because he is still the one I love? (Vienna, I know that you can't teach your heart for who you love because you can feel it voluntarily. But Vienna, I and Michelle know that you can also learn to love him. Try to open your heart for him and let him love you. Because the right time and day will come that you will like him too) Is that what I have to do so I don't hurt Tine? To try to love him even if it seems like it's hard for me. (You should be okay tomorrow? Are you going to perform at the Music Club? You should focus. See you tomorrow Vienna) If that's all I can do, I'll do it. I know that everything changes as well as a person's feelings. I hope I too, change my mind about Tine. My phone rang again, this time it was Sebastian who called. I answered it immediately, how is he? I haven't seen him all day. (You go early to university tomorrow, 7:30 you should be at the Music Club) Then he hangs up the call. I didn't expect him to drop me a call right away. He's unbelievable, what's his problem? *** The next day, I woke up early to get ready for school. I just wore pants, a V-neck shirt and also wore my vans shoes. About a 25-minute drive, I also arrived at the university. I already used my car, I don't want that everyone will talk about it anymore because of my motorbike. I'm going to the Music Club now with my guitar. Until now, I still wonder what Sebastian did last night. I know he's mean but I don't expect him to drop me a call right away. I arrived to the Music Club and I caught up with Gian, Sam, and Louie who were just sitting and talking. I thought I would see Sebastian here right away but it turns out, I was ahead of him. "Hi Vienna, good morning," Louie greeted me when he saw me. "Good morning too," I replied smiling. "You came too early, Vienna," Gian said. He stood up and gave me a seat so I just sat down immediately and thanked him. "Sebastian sent me early and I thought he was here but he's not here yet," I replied. "Maybe he's going here now, he's going to fetch his childhood friend who is also a new member of the Music Club," said Sam. Childhood friend? I thought his only female friend was also the woman he loved and became his girlfriend. Did Britt tell me the wrong story? "Hey Vienna, are you okay? Is there a problem?" I shook my head in response to Gian's question. Who is she? Why do I seem to want to meet her?
