Episode 3: You?

The Young Resident:

"Why did you call me on this Saturday morning and not saying anything? I though we are going to hang out but why are you still on bed? Get your *** up and look at me." Jeffrey, my best buddy pulling my blanket and said.

"Be quiet. Im trying to think." I said without getting up.

"Quiet? Then whey did you call me over?" Jeffrey said impatience.

"I don't know. I just want you here." I said. It's good to have someone by my side when things aren't good.

"Did you fight with Nina?" He asks and I seat up and look at him.

"Why would we fight? It's just I—I ....aish.... my mom arranged marriage for me." I finally said after how long time of thinking.

"Pst! You what?" He's shocks and I can see he almost choke. His eyes as wide as an owl. Well, I was also shocked when I heard my mom say I'm engaged. I flop down on my bed and sigh.

"Hey, Zeian. Get up.....What about Nina?" He asks as he pulling me up.

"I don't know. I am not going to leave her. I will keep this secret until the agreement is over. So, I hope you try to keep this from her too." I said.

"Agreement? What agreement?" Jeffrey asks as he sit down on my bed beside me.

"My mom said she won't force me and that I have to engage to that person for six months. To get to know her. And if I don't like her after six months she'll call out the engagement." I explains.

"Ooh that's a good thing then. Why is there to worry about since it's not force? And you can go back to the normal after six months though." Jeffrey said.

"Are you an idiot? Think about it.. six months is might not be too long but it's long for me and what if Nina know about this? What if she doesn't like the fact that I have another women even if it just temporary?" I loudly said. "And one more thing. She'll be living at my house starting tomorrow and will transfer to our school." I continue.

"Who?" He look at me curiously.

"Who else could it be? My fiancée, of course." I replied.

"She'll be living with you? Oh man.. a huge problem. Keeping a secret from Nina is a huge problem. What did I get myself into?." Jeffrey said as he facepalm. I nod my head with agreement.

"That's what I was worried about." I said rubbing my hair in frustration.

"Listen man. I have an idea. Why don't you talk to your so call fiancée and tell her to keep quiet about this whole thing? Sound's good?" Jeffrey asks. Come to think of it, yes, that might be a good idea.

"That's a good idea. I will have to talk to her and see if she will agree. Yes, that's perfect." I said nodding my head with a happy tone.

Knock knock—-

"Zeian, are you in there?" My mom call out.

"Yes, I'm in." I quickly reply and she opens the door.

"Oh when did you come? Is Zeian giving you a hard time again?" My mom asks as she saw Jeffrey.

"Oh no, ma'am." Jeffrey glances at me and reply. Glad he didn't say anything.

"That's good. Tell me if he's giving you a hard time. I'll whoop his ***.." My mom said and I face palm. Talk about language. I rolled my eyes and Jeffrey snicks on the side.

"Mom, you always tell me to watch my language but what about you?" I asks.

"I'm an adult. I can say whatever I want." She put both of her hands on her hip and said.

"Children see, children do. You know?" I said.

"I'll kick your *** if you do as I do." She said slapping my back.

"Ahh...mom..ah. Stop it."

"Hahahaaha..." I glare at Jeffrey as he's laughing hard. He stops as he see me glaring. My mom stops and so I adjust my clothes and asks, "Why did you come in?"

"Siena is coming tomorrow so make sure you help her manage living here and on Monday she'll go to school with you." My mom said.

"What? You help her. I'm not helping anyone and she can go to school alone."  I complain. And then I remember, "Wait? What did you call her?" I asks.

"Siena. Her name is Siena." My mom said.

"Could it be her? That Siena." I quietly asks myself.

"Why did you ask? Do you know her?" My mom asks.

"No, of course not." It's not her right? There's no way she's that person. I thoughts.

"Okay then.. you two have fun. Don't do anything stupid, alright?" My mom said as she walks out of my room.

The Vin's Resident

"Siena!" I faintly heard my mom call out to my name. I groan and turned my head and cover my ear with my pillow.

"Siena!" The footsteps and the voice came closer as I keep trying to go back to my slumber land.

"Siena, wake up. You have to get ready." She said.

"Mom, I already packed my things since last night." I said without taking off my pillow from my head.

"Then let's go. We can't waste time." She said.

"Sweetie, listen to your mom before you got a bucket of water. I'm sure you don't want to get wet in the early morning." I heard my dad said and I seat up right away. I look up and see my mom was already holding a bucket of water and ready to pour it on me. I quickly get up from my bed and dash to the bathroom.

—————————

"Here we are!" My dad excitedly said.

I look around and this neighborhood is unfamiliar to me. 'Will I be able to live with someone I don't know' I asks myself that since I was told to leave.

I sigh as I sluggishly get out from the car. I take out my luggage in my truck and follow my parents behind with a sulky face.

"I'll be fine." I quietly said.

"Oh you're here. Come in." A female in her 40s greet with a smile on her face.

"Jas! Good to see you!" My mom exclaimed.

"Good to see you, Sofia." They were both hugging each other.

I let out a cough and they both turn their head on me.

"Oh it's your daughter. She's beautiful just like you, Sofia." I awkwardly laugh.

"Thank you." I politely said with a smile. "Can I go in. I'm kind of a bit tired." I continued. My mom turn her head and wink at me. You know that wink. A mother wink for her children. We all know it's a bad sigh.

"Oh yes, I'm so sorry. Come in. Take a sit." She gesturing her hand for us to go in. We three took a sear right opposite of her.

"Zeian! Come on here. Meet our guests." Zeian? Sound familiar.

He comes out as soon as he was call and I look up to him and both of our eyes wide.

"You?!" We both yell at the same time with our eyes wide.
