CHAPTER 6
The next day freedom went to see jenny at the supermarket. He saw how Jenny's face looked as if she is sad and don't want to talk about it. He said to her that they have to talk and jenny told him that they have nothing to talk about. She continued, "you heard what your father said about me yesterday so there is nothing to talk about". Freedom told her that somehow his father was kind of right and jenny said,
"really, so that's just it, after everything". Freedom said to her, "no don't get me wrong that's not what I'm trying to say, I mean I still like you but.., but we're relatives, now.. and.."
Jenny said, "i know, freedom, we're relatives and there's nothing we can do to change that". She told him to go that she have customers to attend to.
Kira met with Raymond. She plotted with Raymond that he should have a romantic conversation with jenny. Kira was able to know about some information about Jenny when she knew jenny is working in the Mina supermarket. When Raymond met with jenny they began to discuss, but jenny was still not interested. Kira was behind taking pictures of them so that she can show freedom to make him jealous.
At night kira showed the pictures of jenny and Raymond to freedom, she lied to him about Jenny and Raymond. She said to him that Raymond told her that jenny and him are in love to the extent that they had s*x and slept with each other. She said Jenny's a prostitute, that why would he think of loving a prostitute. She continued, "you two just broke up and not for too long she's already with another man having s*x with him". Freedom looked at her and said she shouldn't call jenny a prostitute, then he asked her that how did she know Jenny and him were in love and kira said, "don't get me wrong, I was told, besides everybody know about it, it's not something you should hide, good night". She went to sleep.
The following day freedom went to jenny to ask her if everything kira said is true. Freedom said,
"jenny, are you really having a s****l relationship with Raymond".
Jenny asked him that where is this question coming from. He said to her that it doesn't matter that she should answer the question. Jenny replied to him that she and Raymond are not in any relationship, they have nothing to do together. Then freedom showed her the pictures of she and Raymond in his phone and asked her to explain it. Jenny was surprised to see the pictures then she said to freedom that he's misunderstanding, that they were just talking. Freedom then asked what they were really talking about and she said, "I already told you, Raymond and I have nothing important to do together, we are not in any relationship, I have to go freedom I have work to do", then she left and freedom went his way.
Later in the day freedom thought about all that happened between him and jenny, jenny being with Raymond, then he made the decision of marrying kira, by himself. Actually, it was because freedom and jenny can never be together as husband and wife, no matter how they love each other. Freedom thought that Jenny have moved on so he wants to move on as well and the only way is to get married to kira who his dad brought for him. But he was afraid to tell his father that he is ready to marry kira because his heart never beats for kira, all his time with kira he never felt anything like love.
Kira and freedom's family are about to start preparing to go to China for the wedding after freedom managed to tell his father that he will marry kira. Mr Harrison asked freedom that hope he is really ready for the marriage and then freedom said to him,
"to be honest with you dad, I might become a husband to kira but I can't see or feel my love for her".
His father then told him not to worry that everything will be okay.
At the supermarket, jenny was about to sit down cause there were no customers to attend to then she saw Melissa coming. They greeted each other and Melissa asked her if she's busy and she said no. Then Melissa told the manager to excuse jenny that they have something important to talk about. The manager allowed her and they went to have some coffee.
"jenny I'm sorry things have to turn this way, you and my brother are unable to be together", Melissa said to jenny and jenny then say to her,
"but at least we are still relatives".
They both smiled and Melissa told jenny that they are planing to go to China for the marriage ceremony of freedom and kira very soon. She asked jenny if she's okay about how everything is going and jenny pretend to say, "of course I'm good, don't worry".
Kira and the Harrison's family were having their dinner and were discussing. Melissa wanted kira to feel bad so she said, she wish jenny was there with them or she's not their cousin but the one freedom truly wants to marry, then everybody looked at her except freedom and couldn't say anything. Everybody was still silence, eating their food then Melissa asked her mother what really happened to Jenny's mother.
Mrs Mary started, I really don't know what happened that made my sister to disappear, if she's dead or alive, that I don't know. Although it all started with love, Melissa asked why love and she said, remember the other day I told you your dad's nightmare about his lost wife, Melissa answered yes that she remember then Mrs Mary continued, it was Elisa, she was your dad lost wife.
Freedom said, "wait! wait! wait!, you mean Jenny's mother was dad's lost wife, wow, then how did you come into the story".
Mrs Mary said, don't get me wrong, I never had the intention of hurting my sister by stealing her man, but to be sincere I was your dad's first love but Elisa became your dad's first wife, the thing is your father and I were loving each other without telling anyone, unknowingly to Elisa she fell in love with the man I loved. She was the first to confessed her love and told everyone that she found a good man, our father agreed with your dad's parents that they should both get married. He didn't wanted to but his parents forced him to marry Elisa. On their wedding day something happened, Elisa disappeared there were no sign of her. Tell you what, your great grand mother was sick at home and was about to die, she wanted to see her great grand kids or at least the mother of her great grand children. To prevent her from not seeing any of us your dad begged me to replace my sister. I never wanted to but just to focus on finding my sister. I later agreed after reading a letter that Elisa left in my room, she told me to get married to Harrison instead, cause she's leaving and will never return, she didn't tell me why, she included that we shouldn't try to find her or worry about her. Your dad and I later got married and till today we could not hear from Elisa, that was how everything went.
