UNEXPECTED LOVE

UNEXPECTED LOVE - CHAPTER 8

"It's just that, one day it was Finella's birthday and I was cooking, but I suddenly left it because I went to Lian and Anne who seemed to be arguing about something. Anne was trying to hide something but Lian was trying to get it because he wanted to see it, until I forgot what I was cooking. It was already burned until the fire grew big, and only Lian was the one I was able to save. I didn't know if they survived, but when the fire died, there was a body of a child found, and only Anne was not seen, so we all thought that was the body. After those events, that was also the day my parents took me and brought me to America, but when I returned, I looked for them but I never saw them again," Cristina told.

In Cristina's last story, Crishane was really sure that it was them, but she just chose to keep it secret.

Now that Crishane knows that Lian is her childhood friend from before, her feelings lightened, and she often teases him like what she did when they were kids.

One day while Crishane was cleaning the glass wall, she was singing, seeming comfortable in the house.

🎼 Where ever you go

What ever you do

I will be right here

Waiting for you 🎶

Crishane stopped when she noticed Lian standing beside the door, just arrived from work.

"Sir, how long have you been there?" Crishane asked.

"Since when did you like singing?" Lian asked, seeming to like her voice.

"Since I was a kid, Sir, I already like singing."

"It's okay to sing, just not that song," Lian said while going upstairs.

"Sorry, but this is my favorite song eh," Crishane answered while starting her work again.

Lian looked back while he was in front of his room door and entered his room.

When Lian had changed clothes, he went down to the kitchen to drink water and found Crishane eating.

"There's something new about you today ah," Lian said while filling the glass with water.

"What is it, Sir?"

"You seem happy today eh."

"Ah, not Sir, I'm just really in a good mood because my father was released from the hospital, and he's okay now."

"That's good if that's the case, enjoy that happiness now because tomorrow, prepare yourself," Lian said.

"Ho, why Sir?"

"There is a party tomorrow night, you will come with me."

"Ho, didn't I tell you that I don't want to go to that kind of thing eh."

"Do you want me to change what I will make you do?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Are you sure you will do it?" Lian asked.

"Ah y-yes S-Sir," she answered softly.

"Okay come here," Lian said and Crishane followed. Lian entered his room.

"What is it Sir?" Crishane said while in front of Lian's room.

"Come inside."

"Ho, why, will you make me clean your room?" Crishane said and entered.

"Eh it seems clean Sir eh," Crishane said.

"Did I say you will clean?" Lian said. "Stand in front of me," Lian said and Crishane approached. He showed her two dresses on the bed.

"Choose in front of me," Lian said.

"Ho!" Crishane was shocked. "I said you will do it."

"Eh I didn't know it would be like that eh," Crishane said.

"So you don't want to choose?"

"I don't know which one," Crishane said.

"If so, choose, will you attend the party? Or will you choose a dress now?" Lian said.

"That's so hard Sir eh," Crishane said.

"I said choose," Lian said. Crishane thought that her childhood friend is in front of her, so she is sure he won't be mean, so she chose.

"Choosing a dress then," Crishane said.

"Ha, are you sure?" Lian asked.

"Yes," And Crishane started looking at the dresses. First, she picked up the red one on the left.

"Wait, wait are you really sure? That red one?" Lian said.

"Yes Sir," Crishane said.

"Shii, get out, go," Lian made Crishane leave the room and Crishane laughed.

"Oh why are you laughing?" Lian asked.

"Because Sir, I really chose that because I know you will be embarrassed to help me choose," she answered laughing.

"Don't be too confident Crishane, maybe you forget why you are here," he said.

"The question is, can you choose a dress for a girl?" Crishane teased.

"Don't try me," Lian said. Crishane just grinned and went out of Lian's room, but when she went out, Gian was going up, just arrived.

"What are you doing in Kuya's room?" Gian wondered while entering Lian's room and saw Lian there too. The three were silent, so Crishane just asked.

"Why Sir?" Crishane said to Gian.

"What are you doing?" Gian asked.

"As for me, I'm not doing anything, I'm just choosing a dress for the party," Crishane said while looking at Lian and left.

"You're thinking wrong," Lian said to Gian.

"You were together in your room, what will I think?"

"We are not doing anything," Lian said.

"Maybe Crishane is not, but you," Gian said.

"Wait, why do you seem so affected?"

"Ate Bishel called me earlier, and she told me the truth," Gian said.

"You already know anyway, why are you still interfering," Lian said.

"Bro, I know you, you're not like that, that's not you anymore," Gian said.

"What is your problem?"

"Bro, Crishane is an innocent person, principled, and has dignity, don't ruin her, otherwise your conscience will eat you for the rest of your life," Gian said.

"Just don't interfere," Lian said.

"Bro, think, your best friend whose death is not your fault, you blamed yourself and until now your conscience still haunts you, what more if you continue what you plan to do to Crishane, bro your conscience might kill you," Gian reminded, seeming annoyed and just left Lian.

Lian is too confused. His plan was okay because Crishane already went with him, but his conscience is blocking it.

After a few days, Cristina visited Crishane again and brought her things she bought.

"Tita what are these?" Crishane asked.

"Those are women's things and also clothes," Cristina said.

"Why did you bother," Crishane said.

"You know Crishane, you're like my daughter already so accept that," Cristina said.

"Thank you very much Tita," Crishane thanked happily, but they didn't know that Lian came home early, so he saw his mother, so he got angry again, including Crishane he scolded and made his mother leave, including the things she gave to Crishane.

"Sir, that's enough," Crishane stopped Lian.

"Don't interfere," Lian said, but he did not push her.

"Sir, don't treat your mother like that," Crishane said.

"I said don't interfere eh," Lian insisted.

"Let Crishane be, I will just leave," Cristina said and just stood up and left.

Because of what Lian did, Crishane couldn't help but get angry, so the two argued again, while Gian watched the two arguing and just stayed quiet on the sofa.

"Why are you like that to your mother?" Crishane asked.

"What is your business anyway?" Lian said.

"She is your mother, she is not another person for you to treat like that."

"I will do what I want, so can you," Lian said.

"You want? Even though you know it's wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong with what I am doing. For me, there is nothing wrong."

"You are really crazy," Crishane said.

"You have no right to blame me, maybe you forget I am your boss," Lian said.

"Yes I know, but Tita Cristina, I have the right to defend, because she was good to me."

"I don't care if she was good to you, so I warn you to never meet her again," Lian said.

"Yes, I am just a maid, a servant, but you have no right to forbid me whoever I want to let into my life," Crishane said.

"Hey Crishane, that is my mother, she is not related to you, so while you are under my roof, follow what I want."

"Tssh, you know, in truth, you are so hard to read, I don't even know if you are still human? Ah yes you have been a demon for a long time," Crishane said.
