LOVE or s*x ?

NATHAN's DILEMMA

Natasha can't believe what she heard in the dinner a while ago. She just slept in her room for the whole day and when she went outside her brother is already getting married as if she slept for a decades. She didn't know what is happening to her brother but she smells trouble with a big T. She tried to asks Nathan about the tie the knot issue but he seems avoiding her. But she wouldn't stop until she didn't found out the truth to her brother.

When Natasha feels that Blake, Homer and Vincent are already in a deep sleep to the guest rooms she goes to the room of Nathan but he is not there. She look for him and she found him at cellar drinking his favorite wine. He seems in a deep thoughts because he didn't notice that she is there.

"what's the problem?" Natasha asks her brother. Her voice made his mind back to the present.

" are you really getting married? why you didn't tell me about this" Nathan feels the resentment in her voice.

"I'm sorry Sissy. I feels floated about all the things. It just happen in just a blink of my eye." he answered confusion shows on his face.

"who is the girl? why? you can tell me everything brother I will listen" she said in the voice where resentment is gone but sympathy replace in her voice.

" I didn't know her sissy. She is pregnant and she said that i am the father"

" how will that happen that you get her pregnant but you didn't know her"

"i really don't know. but the things i remembered is that day is my birthday. The Three send me a gift for that night".

"And she is that girl? Oh My God! she is a whore."

"no she is not, it is a mistake"

"what kind of mistake? you said that she was a gift for you by your friends. An then you get her pregnant"

"she is not the one that Homer book for me that night. She is cousins of Homer"

"what?! your so confusing brother. Can you tell from the top where this problem really came" Natasha demanded to his brother.

Nathan said that it was his birthday when those three bastard gave him a woman from the booking site wherever it is. And there place will be at Homer condo. But Homer forgot that his cousin from the Houston came here in the Philippines yesterday and his mother let Helena, name of Homer cousin, to stay in his condo. Helena came from the party, very drunk came in inside the condo not aware that his brother was there. In the other side her brother thought Helena was the gift Homer given to him that night. Because Helena was really drunk then she just thought that it was a dream that she was having s*x with the stranger only when they woke up that morning. She found out that her dreams was true. Helena got angry to Nathan when he tried to give him a money. And she hysterically cried out. So Nathan decided to call Homer only to find out that the girl from that booking site not made it that night. But Nathan said that there was a woman in the condo and they had s*x for almost the whole night. Homer then realized that it was her cousin Helena. Helena was very angry to Homer and she immediately flew back to Houston without any word the day after the incident. Then Nathan already forgot that night on his birthday until this morning after three months Helena called Homer and asked for the number of his brother because she said that she is pregnant and his bastard friend is the father. After that call from Helena, Homer rushed in to their house to break the news to Nathan and after Homer tell everything Helena said Nathan receive a call from her. She said that she called Nathan for him to know that she is carrying his baby and she will be back to the Philippines as soon as possible and before her parents notice her pregnancy. She also said that Nathan need to marry her because of their baby and they need to do the wedding also as soon as possible. That is the story behind of Nathan's suddenly of being engaged.

"you guys are all fool. You treated those girls as a toy so your karma is that" Natasha said to his brother in an irritating voice after hearing the story. "I thought that girl is only blackmailed you for you to accept the marriage but it is not. it is really your fault so be responsible and do the right thing Big Brother." she said to him.

Nathan is still sad and confused. He is still full of repentance to what happened that night three months ago. If he only knew it will happen he will not go for the idea of Homer.

Natasha knows that her brother will do the right thing even if it means that he will no longer live his life the way it is because he is a righteous man. Even she is a little bit annoyed by his action still she admire him because she knew that it will not be that hard to him if he is not a responsible man.

Natasha leave his brother in the cellar because he needed to be alone for him to get over and accept the truth.

Natasha found herself heading to pool. She is happy for her brother all though his reason to get married is quite different from normal but at least his life will now having a direction because soon he will be a father. Something hit her mind when Nathan already had a family she will be alone. Natasha feels sadness filled her heart. All her life Nathan is there for her. He is the one who attends in her parent meeting during grade school. He is the one who treated her wounded knee, the one who wiped her tears when she cried because of her bullied classmates before. He is the one that taking care of her when she was sick. When she needed companion he is the one that will give her time for her no matter how busy he is. She wanted to cry when she thinks those things. She feels depression is coming in her so she decides to go back in her room and make a sleep for her to avoid more thoughts of things that might cause her to feel bad again. On her way back to her room she saw a shadow of a person in the veranda of the guest room where Homer, Blake and Vincent are sleeping. Maybe that shadow is the one that she felt that watching her when she was there beside the pool a while ago.

Natasha didn't get a nice sleep because of Nathan's problem but she still get up early because they will have a monthly meeting in their department. In the dining Natasha asked Meredith if Nathan is already awake and Meredith answered that Nathan fell asleep in the cellar and when he woke up,he just took a shower and left with her three friends. After she heard that, Natasha just ate a little and then she went to her work.

In the office, she finds out that meeting was cancelled by their boss because something important came up. She wonders what is that something important came up to Vincent Delavin. Yes! her boss is none other than Vincent Delavin. Maybe that important thing is her brother's problem, She tries to call Nathan but he is out of coverage area. She is really wondering what is happening because Vincent will not cancel their meeting if it is not really urgent. Whole day in the office was very sloth to Natasha that day especially she couldn't contact Nathan's phone even Homer and Blake. After work she goes straight home because maybe Nathan is already there. She is really worried because this is the first time that she can not connect to her brother's phone.

In their house she asked Meredith if Nathan is already there. But no sign of Nathan in the house. She goes to his room and looks his cabinet and nothing is missing. All his clothes and luggage are there. Where on earth that four men go. Why they suddenly disappear that day. She tried again to call them but all their phone is out of coverage area. She also called the houses of Homer, Blake and Nathan but their maids just said that after they came later that morning and they still not came back. She also tried to reach them in their condos but only an answering machine answered her. She slowly fell asleep when Meredith called her and said that someone is in the phone looking for Nathan.

"hello, Arlington residence" Natasha said.

"yes hello.. Can i speak with Mr. Nathan Arlington" a soft tiring voice answered.

"may I know who's on the line, please" Natasha asks. "this is his sister" she added.

" Ahhhh, I am Helena Browser. Nathan's friend. I just really need to talk to your brother" the voice answered.

" Hhhm,. Ms. Browser my brother is not yet here. You can call him at his phone"

"I already did but he is out of coverage every time I called him"

" I am sorry for that.. you can leave a message if you want I'll just tell him that you called"

"ah yeah sure ..just tell to your brother that I am here already in Homer's condo and we really need to talk"

" okay I'll tell him that"

"thank you Ms......"

"Natasha. My name is Natasha"

"thank you again Ms. Natasha. Bye"

"welcome" She reply then Helena hang the phone.

Natasha went back to her room after their phone conversation of Helena. She thinks that Helena just arrived from Houston because she sounded very tired in the phone. That stupid brother of her had a lot of explaining to do with her tomorrow. She couldn't believe that he hid for all his troubles and for sure that his stupid friends supported him. They had really became pain in her neck. She fall asleep with the thoughts of Helena. She pity her with her situation and she a little beast off with her brother actions.
