You Are My Sunshine
Part 1's
His pair of sparkling eyes looked simple and not simple at the same time. He winked at me and smiled, then took a deep breath and hurriedly lowered his head again. The action made me very uncomfortable. The sight looked as if I was bully and defeated her weak self.
Jerry handed me flowers and birthday presents, then kissed me on the cheek gently with no regard for the views of the people around. After a while, she realized the awkwardness of my parents' emotions. He immediately asked what happened.
Well, nothing can be kept secret forever, what else does Jerry deserve to know that me and Vivi are interchangeable children. He and I have been together for two years and are getting married soon. People said we were a good couple. We both studied abroad and have a promising future. His family is quite rich. Her parents run a tour and travel company, while my parents run a hotel. Our two families have also been in a cooperative relationship in recent years. I painstakingly studied hospitality business management as well in order to help the efforts of parents.
I had always thought that Jerry and I would live happily ever after, but Vivi's appearance and the problems that have been changed made me feel very insecure and unsure of this. However, all this is nothing, the thing I really fear is losing the affection of the parents.
When I took Jerry out, he kept entertaining me. He advised me not to worry, just think of all this as destiny.
When I returned home, the awkward atmosphere inside the house again enveloped me. Dad gave me a paper with a row of addresses.
"Wenny, this is the address of your biological parents. We discussed with them. In the future Vivi will stay in our house, Father and Mother do not plan to let her go home again. For the past 20 years, Vivi has suffered a lot, Dad and Mom are willing to make up for it."
Vivi sat on the sofa with her head down, still showing a timid and weak look. When Father said that he had suffered a lot, he even pulled Dad's arm tightly.
The long silence made Vivi who had been silent just now start to shudder. His body shuddered as if hiding a great fear. He tightened his grip on Dad, then I finally heard his voice after a long time, "I really don't want to go back to their side anymore. Father, Mother, please think of a solution. I don't want to marry and have children at such a young age. Yanti Suhena would definitely not want to let go of me just like that. I don't want to live that kind of life again, please..."
Vivi's cry was weak and trembling, making people feel pity for her. Mother wiped away the tears and hugged her, while Father stroked her forehead helplessly. I don't know what Vivi's "family" is like, but I can guess that “Yanti Suhena” may be her foster mother, my real mother. Now that he mentioned the name Yanti Suhena directly, this showed that he had indeed long wanted to escape from the family.
Father and Mother continued to be silent, cries replaced with silence. I was most afraid of the silent response without an answer. Often times like these are times of self-sacrifice. Someone has to sacrifice themselves to solve a problem, and I'm the best target.
For the sake of repaying my parents for raising me, I had no choice but to sacrifice myself.
"Dad, Mom, just let me go. I'll have Jerry take me there tomorrow. I'll look at the situation there first, then give you a solution."
The anxiety at Dad's gaze gradually disappeared, then replaced with comforting intent, "Father and Mother had no other intention. Even though Vivi's home, you're both our daughters. We're not leaving anyone."
I nodded and woke up, "Then I go back to the room first. It's not easy for you guys to get a reunion, you guys can have a chat first."
