What If

Chapter 2

Gulf pov

We are gonna meet her brother within minutes, I'm getting nervous as time goes on. I have never been in this situation before. It's weird. I'm officially gone mad.

"Are you okay nong?" P'Sara asked.

"Of Course I'm okay, just feeling something different"

"Why? If you are not feeling okay let me drop you at your house" she said, I fastly shook my head.

"No no Phi, to be honest I know about your brother, I have heard people talking when I visited the company many times, why did he leave when he is this good at his work?"

"Same nong, it's again personal, if he wishes to tell you someday you can know through him, I cannot say anything" she sounded very sad.

"Then tell me how to talk with him?"

"I guess you are not a touchy person, so he may like you, just be casual with him" what does it mean tho.

"I can't understand Phi" I said.

"You will know when you meet him" she said looking outside the window, her eyes were clearly glossy.

'I hope I don't mess something up! My Dad has a big hope on me and he loves P'Sara and I guess he loves her brother too by seeing his eyes when to said about him'

"What do you like to eat in the cafe Phi?" I changed the topic.

"I love dark coffee and sponge cake without cream" she looked happy thinking about it I guess.

"I like sponge cake too but I'm not a big fan of coffee" I said scratching my nape.

"Ohh, will you try once for me, atleast capachino if you don't like the bitter taste" she asked me, who am I to reject this cute offer.

"Sure Phi, you look beautiful" I said without me realising.

"You look handsome too nong!" She said back but her thoughts were somewhere else.

"Can I ask something, why are you always looking sad?" I asked the question which was hunting me for quite a long time.

"No nothing, I'm happy" she said.

"Okay" I said and after that she didn't talk, I too didn't force her.

After a few seconds she smiled seeing her phone and texting someone.

Another normal day of my sad life, with the same whiling shouting to stop, my sister forcing me to pull me out of my nightmare. It happens daily. I'm used to it but the pain remains the same.

"Mew it's already been six years baby, you have to move on, you are hurting yourself" my sister, P'Sara said when I was getting ready for the day.

"Phi don't start it again, you know me very well" I said in a bored tone, this talk comes monthly.

"I can't see you like this nong, it's hurting me, you cannot sleep without me and only few can touch you" she said, I'm turning into a burden I can feel it.

"I'm so sorry Phi, I will take care of myself, I will rent an apartment soon" I said with a small smile to hide my fear away.

"The hell, nong neither I'm not asking you to move out nor you are like a burden to me, see baby." She raised my chin for me to meet her eyes. "I can't always be there with you, you have to find someone for you, I will support you fully"

"I'm not interested in anyone now Phi, I can't even go close to anyone, if someone comes close to me, you know what will happen so please Phi" even when someone touches me unknowingly I will start to feel nausea, vomiting to the worst panic attacks, so I better don't go near anyone. I wear a mask, gloves and a fully covered dress everywhere I go because of this.
