Chapter 070

VIENNA'S POV "Is Sebastian with you?" I asked and he nodded in response. "Yes, but he's outside and talking to your mom." I hope Mom doesn't scold him. I'm afraid because maybe my brother will do something to him. Suddenly the door opened and someone came in, my Mom but she was not with Sebastian. 'I thought, they were talking?' "Sorry if I disturbed you." "Where's Sebastian?" I asked directly. "Sebastian left after we talked and he didn't say where he was going." I immediately felt sad because of Mom's response. I thought I would see and talk to him but I didn't. "I think he's going to school, don't worry Vienna I'll talk to him when he gets home." "Okay, thank you, Uncle." "You're welcome Vienna, I also need to leave, I have still a business meeting today. Take care, okay?" I nodded in response and he immediately hugged me. I miss my dad because of him. "Bye Vienna, get well soon. Venice, it's good to see you again." "Me too Kris .. Um I'll take you outside." "Sure, thank you, bye Vienna I'm leaving." I smiled at Uncle Kristopher after that Mom and he also went outside. But I noticed something strange about Mom's action. What could be the reason for that? The door opened again, I was surprised to see my brother and Tine. I thought they were still at university, but why they are here? "How are you? Are you still in pain?" my brother asked when he got closer in my direction. "I'm fine, Brother, I'm not in pain anymore and the doctor said I can go home tomorrow morning," I replied. "It's good then but next time you'll be careful. Get to know the people you're talking to so that you don't get hurt," he said but I didn't answer him. I know what he wants to convey to me. "Why are you here? Do you still have soccer practice?" "We tell our coach. I'm the only one to come here but your brother accompanied me," Tine replied and turned to my brother. "Who knows what else you might do to my sister," Brother Vince said while laughing. "You're crazy Vince, I'm not like you." "Really? Even if you're my friend, you still have to go through me before you make my sister answer you." I smiled a little because they teased each other. But until now I still think about what Tine said last night. What would he think if I didn't follow or do his favor? "Vienna, are you okay?" my brother asked to my surprise. "I'm fine, just thinking." "We won't be long, maybe our coach is already looking for us," said my brother. I nodded in response and he suddenly hugged me. "I'll be ahead of you Tine, I'll just wait for you in the parking lot." My brother also came out and two of us left here inside. "Take your medicine, okay? Take a rest and I might not be able to be with Vince this afternoon. There's a family dinner at grandma's house and I have to go there. Sorry, Vienna." "It's okay, don't worry." "All right, just call me later .. take a rest when I leave," he said. He came closer to me and I was surprised at what he did next. He kissed me on my forehead. It was just the first time he kissed me but I didn't feel anything. I couldn't feel the electricity flowing through my body going to my heart. "I'm leaving, take care, okay?" he smiled and I nodded in response. He left the room and Therese entered next. I was surprised to see them both because they both frowned. But it suddenly disappeared when they saw me looking at them. "Friend, Therese will give you something," Michelle said seriously. They both sat down next to me and Therese handed me a small envelope. "What is this?" I wondered. "Just open it, friend," Michelle replied. What is it all about and from whom? Out of curiosity, I just opened it and two photos were exposed to me. Mom, Dad, Uncle Kristopher, and an unfamiliar woman are in the photo. There isn't even anything written here. But why are they together? And who is that woman next to Sebastian's dad? "We passed by the counter earlier, and a nurse handed it to us. She didn't know who it was from because it was just left there, and your name was written on the back of the envelope," said Therese. Confused, I wondered. Who could have left it on the hospital counter? What does he know? Why is he doing this? "Vienna, have your parents and Sebastian's parents known each other for a long time?" Michelle asked. Did she mean that the woman next to Uncle Kristopher in the photo was Sebastian's mom? "I-I don't understand, how did you know it was Sebastian's mom?" I stammered. "I'm sorry Vienna, we opened the envelope earlier and Michelle and I were also surprised. So I called mom, she knows Sebastian's dad. I showed her the picture and she said that the woman next to Uncle Kristopher is Aunt Celestina, Sebastian's mom," Therese replied. Mom or Dad didn't tell me anything about Uncle Kristopher and Sebastian's mom. Does this mean they have known each other for a long time? But when? "I don't know if they've known each other for a long time but Uncle Kristopher told me, dad was his business partner before," I said. "Don't you remember anything about Sebastian's parents?" Therese asked and I shook my head in response. But I was suddenly grabbed by my head when it hurt and I also felt a little dizzy. "Friend, are you okay? I'm sorry Vienna we didn't mean to. Take a rest for a while, I'll call your doctor," Michelle said, rattled. I held her by the arm when she tried to leave my side. "I'm fine, don't worry about me." I sighed before speaking again. "Did you notice anything strange about my mom's actions earlier?" I asked, and they both paused to think. "There was Vienna, when Uncle Kristopher and Sebastian came, your mom stood up in shock. Michelle and I were really surprised because of her reaction," Therese replied. I suddenly become confused. Why is that? What can there be between the two of them? "If they've known each other for a long time, then your mom and dad have known Sebastian for a long time too especially your brother. And Sebastian's parents have known you for a long time either," Michelle said. Is it possible that Uncle Kristopher just hugged me like that when we first met because I've known him for a long time? But he said he hugged me because I look like Sebastian's friend? Just a mess, I don't understand. What is it? I'm confused. "Maybe .. you also know them and you just forgot because you had amnesia?" Therese said to my surprise. Because of what she said, my whole body went cold and my chest pounded so fast. I don't remember ever meeting them before, they were both new in my sight. What does this photo mean? What is the connection between Sebastian's family to my family? "Let's not talk about this, it might make your head hurt even more. We can find an answer about it. Now take a rest and Therese and I will go to university. We will also try to talk to Sebastian, maybe he knows something," Michelle said after a few seconds of silence. "I'll be the one to talk to him, he's very sensitive about his mom and he might even shout at you. You two be careful." "Okay friend, we're leaving .. take a rest." They both came out after they hugged me. I looked at the photo I was holding but no matter what I did, I don't remember that I had met Uncle Kristopher and Sebastian's mom before. I can't connect the events, I'm confused. 'Maybe .. you also know them and you just forgot because you had amnesia?' Is what you think was right, Therese? But why weren't Uncle Kristopher and Sebastian even able to tell me the story? Are they hiding something from me? I don't want to assume but I think there is some connection between the two of us.
