It's been two years since he has gone to study abroad.

I still remember the day I came to live in this house after my parent's death.

I still remember the day when he suddenly came into my room. 

I was looking at him with shocked eyes because of his actions. He locked the door and started coming in my direction. I knew that I was in danger but I can't move my body.

Bloody hell, my body was held by the cold gaze of his blue sea-colored eyes. 

With long steps, he was coming towards me, and in a flash of seconds, he was in front of me. He grabbed my hair making me look into his eyes, my eyes were close afraid of meeting his cold star but the next word from his mouth made my eyes short open.

"Who was that man Jane with whom you were laughing and talking answer me. Who was he," he shouted in anger. I took in his appearance his jaw was clenched and his eyes were burning in anger.  

H-e-he saw me with him. 

I knew I was in danger. Now, what should I do was the big questions for me. 

Warm tears filled my eyes ready to slip out from the corner of my eyes by remembering that day. The memor memory of that day still you heard it right.

Against His Will

“You and Zanvil are to get married in two weeks” were the uncle's only words that were roaming in my head. 


“Huh," I said while gazing at his face clueless. 


“I want you and Zanvil to get married in two weeks." the uncle said with a sad face. 


“Dad, what are you talking about? You want me and her” Zanvil said while pointing at me in anger. “to get married in two weeks” he said angrily. I was quiet because I didn't know what to say. 


“I know it is too early. You two did not get time with each other but…” uncle stopped in his sentence. His eyes were sad. Did uncle think that Zanvil was angry because we didn't get time together? He doesn't know the truth. His son doesn't want to get married to a homeless orphan like me.
