Second Change
Chapter 20's

The whole house thinks Tony and I are very harmonious and romantic. Her mother had even planned our wedding after Emi got married.

Whatever.

Before that happens, I'll be somewhere with Tony. In a place where no one knows us.

All I have to do right now is call Tony and tell him my plan. Yeah, I got Tony's new number.

"You talk a lot?" asked Emi last night in her room

"Lumayan, but he's cold. That's why I'm not calm." he said with a sigh

"Wind how the hell? Bole I saw your chat?" my door curious.

Yes, the innocent Emi directly showed me. I pretended to read their conversation but secretly memorized the phone number.

From Emi's story about her relationship with Tony, I can conclude that Tony has no feelings for her. It was so exciting to show Emi how to talk to two people who love each other. And showing off our friendly photos. Forever Emi will not know that Tony is good at playing guitar and the sound of singing is melodious.

The atmosphere at the dinner table today was quite crowded. Emi constantly tells her wedding preparations. The honeymoon plan is to go to Japan and visit the islands there.

"You want to be a National Geographic crew or honeymoon?" his mother taunted him, laughing at him.

"Ihhh, Mother.." whining.

"Lia, tomorrow if you're healthy, accompany me to the fitting clothes well. All right, I'll find you a pretty dress." Emi said passionately

"Lia still has to rest tomorrow." David asked.

The people in the living room looked at each other meaningfully.

"What did the doctor say?" ask her father in a heavy voice.

"It's okay. Just strep throat." replied his mother in a soothing voice.

"Go with Emi." Father's Order.

"Good Uncle." I replied politely.

Emi glanced at me and her brother in turn. Like giving me a code to see her brother sitting next to me.

I turned my head and David's face stiffened while eating and occasionally snorted in anger. Emi still glanced at me while continuing to give me the code. I finally understood what that meant. Emi told me to persuade David.

I put down my spoon and took the spoon out of David's hand. Then I put his hand on my forehead.

"I'm healed. Don't worry yah." I said with a fake smile

David's previously stiffened face now turned awkward.

"Tomorrow Mother will come along too." Sela Mother. "I'll take good care of Lia."

David nodded slowly and continued eating. His face changed as usual. Emi smiled with satisfaction at me. I returned his smile. The only person who seemed unhappy was his father. But I don't care. It won't be long.

"What are you planning?" david asked in the room.

"What plan?" I asked while putting a pillow on the sofa.

"I can't believe you gave up" she asked.

"That's your business." I sat on the couch and pulled out the notebook from my college bag.

David pulled the book out of my hand. "Tell me you've given up."

I glared at him and was about to reclaim my book but he dodged it.

"Say!" his insistence.

"I love him." I said

David threw my book against the wall and shook my shoulder in anger.

I looked into his eyes bravely. I'm not afraid of David anymore. I need to be stronger than before. David wouldn't really kill me or hurt me. He at most only dared to threaten me or act rudely to me as he is today.

"Take me off David." I said coldly.

I held back from grimacing as she squeezed my shoulders strongly.

"You're just hurting yourself, you know? Can't you just let him go?" David is not so emotional anymore.

He sat down next to me, resting his back on the sofa.

"Emi's had a weak heart since childhood." David suddenly told me. "I love him very much. Once when I was in elementary school, I saw Emi who was still two years of heart pumping action by a big-bodied doctor. I screamed and cried with Mom all my might because I thought they were hurting little Emi and didn't move. I just found out they're saving Emi who's not breathing."

David sighed while looking up, his eyes glazed over.

"I pray that when Emi is healed I will take care of her and give her all the best. Being a big sister who can count on him." David rubbed his eyes for a moment. "Unwittingly it turns out that she is already getting married to her first love."

"First love?" ask me to interrupt

"Tony and Emi went to the same school. When Tony was at Harvard, Emi desperately begged us to be allowed to attend college there as well. He had just put a ring on his heart. When she was finally getting married to Tony, I was the first person to disagree because I knew her history. Drunkies who like to play women. The woman he slept with could no longer be counted. Not working and always hiding in his parents' hotel."

My heart was shocked to hear his story. My hands were shaking for no reason.

"When I first met you at the bar, I was persuading her to cancel the wedding." David looked at me. "Know what he said?"

"You're making up?" my many.

I squeezed my trembling hand. Actually I'm afraid to hear it.

"I finally felt love. Next I'll live for my family." Said David. "She was unwilling to cancel the marriage and would follow what her family had arranged. Finally for Emi's sake, I'll make sure they get married and Tony can commit."

"Have you felt love?" askaku.

I rubbed the tears that were piling up on my eyelids.

"That's your story."

I rubbed my tears that fell unstoppably again.

"But Emi loves him too." I sobbed

"Emi never had the courage to approach her let alone express love. All this time it's just Emi's one-sided love."

David got up and took my pillow.

"Today sleep in bed" he said

I'm still digesting what David just said. There are still a lot of questions in my brain.

"What's Tony been through all this time?" much

David pulled my hand away from the couch. "I've told you that she's an unwanted child in her family and this marriage is just a cooperative project. Tony is the victim of his family. His other brothers already have their own giant company. Tony has nothing. In other words, the burden of a family that only knows how to waste money."

David put me on the bed. Then he went to the bathroom to clean himself up. The medicine I was taking made me unable to endure the drowsiness. I closed my eyes crying and fell asleep before David came out of the bathroom.

In the middle of the night, I woke up in someone's arms. I opened my eyes a little and looked slowly. David was hugging me. Wh why? Why is he sleeping next to me?

The next second, David moved and I kept my eyes closed. He placed his hand on my forehead for a while to confirm my temperature. After that, he stroked my hair slowly. Could I be dreaming? But this is too real for a dream. Even though my eyes are locked, I am sure that he is currently bringing his face closer to mine. I can feel her warm breath.

Our noses meet.

My heart is beating with fear. Even though David hates me, he's a man after all. She could have been me. me. Finally our lips meet. I screamed in my heart. I held my breath. Do I have to pretend to be asleep or catch her?

Before I could make up my mind, David was away but was back in my arms. My throat choked, and I coughed. David patted my back for less than a minute, my cough stopped.

Our eyes met and were glued. Equally awkward and do not know how to.

I turned my back to him. David's arm is still tucked under my pillow. I lifted my head and shifted his hand. Then sleep as if nothing had happened.
