Chapter 3

EUPHORIA'S POV

I used the handkerchief to wipe my tears away, I smell it's gentle manly scent similar to Sephron's. I looked at the handkerchief the guy gave me and saw an embeded letters. 'S.E.B' so his name is Seb? Nah. Who cares anyway?

I dried my tears and looked to the passerby's as I listened to Ava Max's 'Sweet but psycho' when my phone rang. It was Mom's name on my screen.

"Hello Mom?"

"Euphoria Where on earth are you? The meeting will be starting within 5 minutes." HOLY COW! How could I forget that!? I have no class starting within the next two hours because of the parent's meeting! Crap!

"Mom don't worry I'll be there okay! reserve me a seat and see you there wait for me" I said then ended the call to rush to my Car and drove back to school

After I parked my car I rushed to the gym where the meeting is being held. I searched the area for my Mom when I saw her sitting in the fourth column row 12 at the left side of the gym. I hurriedly sat beside her.

"Mom, sorry. I forgot about the meeting." I explained.

"What the heck happened to you Euphoria? you cried again didn't you?" she asked me with full concern.

"Where on earth have you been? answer me honestly." She added as she tucked my hair behind my ear.

"I... visited the park where Sephron and I used to have our date." I looked away from Mom. I don't want her to see how fragile I am when it comes to Sephron, Eureka and Dad. I don't want her to feel weak as much as I felt.

"Oh.. Sweety, I know you're still in pain. but can you please stop hurting your emotiong repeatedly? by the way beside you is the Psychiatrist I was talking about yesterday." Mom said as she pointed the guy sitting beside me.

When I turned my head, I can't help but to gasp. It's the handkerchief owner?! Seb?

"So it's you, The one I saw crying at the park earlier?" he said. I was looking at him with a confused expression then I saw Clara.

"You didn't tell me that my brother is already you doctor." She simply said then she giggled.

"I didn't know he was your brother besides I just met him today plus the fact that I don't find any valid reasin for you to know" I looked at Mom who half smiled at me. What the crap is really happening? I glanced at the handkerchief in my hand. 'S.E.B.'

"I know I only have introduced myself thru text message, so let me introduced myself to you formally" He said smiling from ear to ear. Seriously?

"My name is Sapphiro Emperor Bien" he raised his hand for a handshake but what I did is to only stare in his hands. That's when I only realized that S.E.B is his initials.

"Uhm.. maybe you're still confused that we met earlier with such a strange scene. by the way, did the handkerchief helped you dry your tears?"

"Yeah. Thanks for this anyway. I'll wash this first before returning it to you" I answered then looked at the speaker in the stage to prevent the awkward scenario.

"Ah. Euphoria, Clara told me earlier that she invited you to a party? You should go there and have fun." fun? Why would I have fun? Fun is happiness and if I'd be happy tragedy will come.

Happiness will be repaid by sadness, pain and, tragedy.

"Mom..." I shook my head silently disagreeing at the thought.

"Why? Dr. Sapphiro will be accompanying you, sweety. and take it as a part of your theraphy to cure your phobia" She told me as she hold my hands

"Please? Euphoria... I want to see those beautiful smile of yours" a tear fell from my eye. I quickly wiped it away using the handkerchief Sapphiro gave me.

Mom gave me a tight hug when Clara called me I lokked at her without saying anything.

"Just atleast come. I made a few changes so that you will feel comfortable, and as promised I'll give you a seat away from too many guest" She said I only nodded. I just wish it was worth a try...
