"William, this is mine!" Joanna.
"Since when is it yours. That's mine!" william's Stern.
"I told you this was mine. I've had this thing since I was a baby" said Joanna confidently.
"Omong is empty, I've had it since I was a kid, too" William said, unwilling to budge.
"William, you're such a bitch. This locket is mine, look inside it has the initials 'J'" Joanna continued.
Joanna immediately took off her pendant, wanting to prove to William that the pendant was hers. Opening it to show the initials 'J' that he said. But what he saw afterwards shattered his confidence.
"Eh, why not J? Why are they E and S?" joanna asked when she saw different initials. E and S, somehow Joanna is very familiar with the two letters.
"Because it's mine, it's my name. Do you believe it now?" william asked and then grabbed the pendant that was still held by Joanna.
"Waita-wait. There's supposed to be a picture of two kids in it, right?" ask Joanna.
William looked at Joanna suspiciously. Where does Joanna know, as she remembers, only Louise has ever seen her. That was a long time ago too. At least a few years ago when they were abroad.
"Where do you know that?" ask William.
"William, let me see it!" permission Joanna.
Despite not knowing why Joanna insisted on seeing him, William kept opening and showing Joanna the contents.
William did not show any expression as he did not know the story behind the locket because he had been missing since childhood. So no one told him about the fiancee or anything. Unlike Joanna who even to remove the pendant from her neck had to wait for more than 10 years.
"You why?" william asked as soon as Joanna looked at him.
"It's really yours?" joanna asked convincingly.
"Eum, this is mine" replied William.
"Do you know who they are?" ask Joanna.
"Lelaki snot it's me. But I don't know who the other snot boy holding my hand is" William replied.
"William, the baby girl was me" said Joanna.
"What?" ask William.
William squinted his eyes. How could that baby girl be Joanna. Why did she hold him, why did she meet Joanna as a baby. Why Joanna insisted this thing was hers. Do they have the same thing, but why?
"I know this picture was taken when I was a noble boy. Why would Joanna. Could it be that my parents and my parents are friends?" inner William.
Joanna bit her lip, her memory drifting to fourteen years ago. When he was less than 11 years old.
He was on his way home after a visit to the Eastern City. Followed her parents and some elders to attend a prayer ceremony for her late fiance. That day the nobles from the east decided to consider one of their future successors, Eduardo Silva died because he was not found after the accident that claimed the lives of his parents. Unmitigated, they even searched for ten years.
"Dad, since she's dead does that mean I don't have a fiancee anymore?" ask little Jose.
"Looks like. You look so happy, why?" ask Sir Alex.
"Because I can choose my own chosen prince when I grow up" Jose replied happily.
"Is your chosen prince Edgar?" ask Sir Alex.
"Maybe," little Jose replied with a smile that adorned his face.
"Alright, he's not bad either. Choose as you please. As long as you love him and he loves you it shouldn't matter" Sir Alex said. Then pinch Jose's cheek lightly.
"Then can I throw this thing away?" jose asked by showing her the pendant she always wore from birth.
"Don't, you should keep it as a form of respect. Even though he is dead, he was your future husband" replied Sir Alex.
"Do I have to wear this forever?" ask Jose again.
"You can take it off, but don't throw it away. Just keep it somewhere you think it deserves" replied Sir Alex.
"Jo, what's wrong with you?" william asked when he realized Joanna was weird.
"I .. I,-"
"You .. who are you. Aren't you Louise's sister?" ask Joanna.
"I am his sister" replied William. Although he was still confused, he still answered questions from Joanna.
"But why do you have this thing?" ask Joanna again.
"This thing has been with me since my mom and dad found me" William replied.
"What?"
"I'm just a foster child found on the street while dying" William replied.
Joanna felt suddenly her shoulders were heavy. He remembered what Louise had said that day.
..."Joanna, I love you so much. Do you think we can get married. What if it turns out that your fiancee is still alive and must marry you. What if I can't get rid of it?" ...
Joanna gulped her saliva, this is why. This is what's been making Louise weird lately. Of course Louise can't get rid of him. How could he have gotten rid of William, his own sister. The guy Joanna thought was Louise's sister?
Joanna trembled, then filled William deeply and said, "William, I don't want to marry you. If I get married, I'll just marry Louise" Joanna said.
William was stiff in his place, what did he mean. Why did Joanna suddenly talk about marriage with him. Has he gone mad. She may have married her future sister-in-law. If she wanted to get married, it would have been Marissa who was the bride, not Joanna. What is this, is there a misunderstanding here?
"William do you want to marry Joanna?" asked Arthur who happened to have opened the door. Not only Arthur, but Alexa and Marissa are behind him.
William and Joanna. And without saying anything, Joanna just left the room. Leaving William and all who still do not know the meaning of Joanna's words just now.
"William, what is this?" ask Marissa.
"Do you want to marry your future sister-in-law?" alexa timpal.
"It's not what you think it is" replied William frantically.
"Then?" ask Arthur.
"I don't know either. He suddenly became strange when he saw this pendant and said he didn't want to marry me. I did nothing, I did nothing strange. You have to trust me, Marissa you trust me, right?" answer William.
Marissa worried. William can be trusted, and so can Joanna. But what made Joanna say she didn't want to marry William?
While Marissa is busy fretting, Arthur and Alexa are busy watching the old pendant. After a while, Alexa and Arthur believe this locket is the same thing as Joanna's. It's just that it has different initials. As for the reason why, they also do not know.
"Is this yours?" ask Alexa.
"Eum, this is mine" replied William.
"Joanna also has the exact same pendant as this. It's just with different initials" said Arthur.
"She also has, how do you know?" ask William.
"We saw her when we first found Joanna" Alexa replied.
"Had he insisted that this locket belonged to him. But did you know there were photos in it?" ask William.
"Photo?"
William immediately opened the pendant and showed it. Alexa only knows there is a J. I don't know if there are photos in it.
"He said this baby girl was him" William said.
"Then what is this little guy you are?" ask Marissa.
"Well, it's me" replied William.
"You guys, can you come out for a second. There's something I'd like to talk to William about together" Arthur said.
Alexa and Marissa nodded, then left the room leaving only Arthur and William.
"What do you want to say?" ask William.
"William, tell me honestly. Do you know who you are?" ask Arthur.
