Honey Sister Sister

I was listening to someone's voice beside the bed. I immediately approached the side of the bed. It turned out, there was bowing down the woman I was looking for earlier. He, Vanny was in the corner of the bed crying and covered her face behind her own arm.

"Vanny, what's wrong with you?" I said while touching Vanny's shoulder.

Vanny looked really shocked when my hand touched her shoulder. He nodded his face to see me. Vanny did not answer what I asked, she immediately hugged me while crying.

"Why you?" my words are getting more and more clueless.

Meanwhile, I returned Vanny's embrace. He looks very scared at the moment. The thunder again boomed making a deafening sound, accompanied by very heavy rain. As the thunder rang loudly, Vanny hugged my body even stronger to the point that I was shocked because the grip of her hand was so strong.

I don't know what Vanny's feeling. No matter what happened to Vanny, I don't know. But all I know is that Vanny is currently very scared. He can't even control himself.

Vanny didn't answer when I asked, she just hid her face in my chest. I was worried and didn't know what to do. I wanted to calm Vanny down, but when the thunder rang again, then Vanny would look even more frightened. I can draw a conclusion, Vanny is currently being frightened by this extremely powerful sound of thunder.

"Vanny, no papa, calm your heart. It won't hurt you" I said, trying to loosen his so-so-powerful hold that I found it a little hard to breathe.

"I'm scared .. help me. Mama ...."

I don't know what happened to this girl actually. He looks like he's not her anymore. He did not even dare to open his eyes.

I lifted Vanny up and I took her out of her room. I brought Vanny into my room, because I was sure that, downstairs, the sound of thunder would be a little different from upstairs.

Vanny didn't say a word. He kept his eyes closed while holding my shoulder. I think this girl is very afraid of this thunder that sounds very strong.

In my room, I lay Vanny down. Vanny didn't let me go in the least. The girl's hands and feet were trembling and very cold.

"No, he killed someone I love" Vanny said without opening her eyes.

When I heard those words, my mind suddenly connected to Nessa's words about her sister. Before I married Nessa. I've heard Nessa tell me stories about her sister who was so weak in every way. Nessa said her sister needed special care and had to be extra. Nessa loves her sister so much, she'll take care of her sister until she's gone. Nessa once said she would give everything she had to her sister. Because, when he had nothing and no one, his sister was the one who made him survive and willingly distributed his parents to Nessa.

I remember now, Nessa also said, that her sister had astraphobia. His sister was very afraid of thunder and lightning.

Nessa also told me the reason why her sister was so afraid of thunder and lightning. At that time, his sister was still in junior high school. He had a friend who was both sitting on the same bench. My sister loves the rain. In fact, he always played with rainwater, when it rained heavily. His sister was playing with her best friend, back then, there was no thunder and lightning. But, when they were busy playing in the rain, suddenly, lightning struck and thunder as well as burning the body of his friend who was not far from his sister.

Nessa said that since then, her sister has never played in the rain again. In fact, he was never outside when it rained. And, most alarmingly, the effects of the tragedy were fatal to his sister. His sister could never calm down when thunder and lightning existed. In fact, he would cry out in fear when he was alone.

That's not all I remember, Nessa once said, she would give what she had to her beloved sister. Because, however, everything that happens to his sister, is because of him. Nessa always blames herself when something happens to her sister. He always said, if he did not take what his sister should have, then his sister would not look weak in any way.

In the past, I didn't know what Nessa meant when she told me about her sister. But now, the more I know, the more Nessa's purpose is to tell all her sister's stories.

I saw Vanny still closing her eyes next to me. I think, right now, Vanny is asleep. The sound of thunder was no longer heard.

I saw a face sleeping next to me. Is this the sister Nessa's been guarding all this time. And was this Nessa's real intention, when she asked me to marry Vanny.

I had to ask Nessa what she really wanted from her intention to marry me to her sister. I wonder if what I think is true. Nessa willingly shared everything she had, because her sister had shared what she should not have shared.

But, is this fair to his sister. Has Nessa thought about what happened to her sister if she became a second wife. Did Nessa know, if I hurt her sister, it would make her more tormented.

I don't want to guess wrong. Better, I wait for Nessa to come home and ask Nessa all the truth. Don't think for yourself, because what I think is not necessarily true.
