#24 Forever you

Chapter Twenty Four: Forever you

~Aaron’s POV*

“Gor, I heat up some milk for you.” Gui walked into my room. I’m staring at the shirt my mum gave me.

“Try it on, Gor.” I looked at her. After hesitating for a few seconds, I decided to try. I started changing when Gui started screaming away.

“AH!!”

“Don’t scream. You are the one who asked me to try.” I said.

“I did say. I never knew you will try it on now!” Gui started covering her eyes. I decided to make fun of her. Haha.

“Don’t look ah. I’m not wearing any clothes.”

“Hurry up and wear.” She continues to cover up her eyes. I walked to the door and closed the door.

“Why did you close the door?” She turned to look at me. “AH!!!”

“I told you I have not worn any clothes. Moreover I’m wearing pants, why are you so scared?”

“Hurry up and wear your clothes!!” She kept on covering her eyes. I walked towards her.

“Are you done yet?” I put on the shirt that mum gave me. It fit on perfectly.

“Gui, I’m done.”

“Are you sure?” She started peeking through her hands.

“Where are you?”

“BOO!!” I scared her from the back.

“AHH!!” She turned around and saw me standing behind her.

“Stupid!!!” She started chasing me around the room. I started laughing.

“How dare you make fun of me?”

“You made me so awkward just now. This is your punishment.”

“I’m helping you to get closer to your mum, ok!” She said. I stood there. Yea. She’s somehow right. It’s has been so long since I ate a proper meal with my mum.

“Gor?” Gui walked towards me. “Are you ok?” I turned to her and started tickling her. She started laughing.

“Stop it. Stop it. Gor.. My tears are going to drop out already.” I pinned against the bed.

“Gor..” I leaned forward and kissed her on her forehead.

“Thank you.” She smiled. She put her arms around my neck and pulled me closer to her. I looked into her eyes. She moved forward and laid a kiss on my lips. I was shocked. She smiled at me. I moved forward and kissed her passionately.

*Gui Gui’s POV*

The next morning I ran into Aaron’s room.

“Gor.. Gor..” I started pulling his blanket.

“What? I want to sleep. 5 more minutes.”

“No! Auntie is leaving already.” He sits up immediately.

“Who is leaving?”

“You mum is leaving already. Faster. We need to rush to the airport.” Aaron dashed into the toilet to wash up.

“Mum, we are going off.” I pulled Aaron along.

~At the airport~

We went searching high and low for her.

“There.. There..” I pulled Aaron to her.

“Auntie..”

“Gui.. Aaron..” Aaron looked at her. He did not say anything again.

“Gui..”

“Yes, Auntie?”

“I failed as being a mother. I did not take care of Aaron properly since young.”

“Auntie..”

“I hope you can take care of him for me. You must remember to remind him to take all 3 meals. When sleeping, you must cover him with the blanket, notice that he is not kicking the blanket away. When he’s sick, please bring him to visit a doctor. When he needs someone by his side, please stay with him.” She continues.

“Auntie..”

“I hope the shirt fits.” She turned to Aaron. Aaron did not reply.

“Gor..”

“It’s ok.” She smiled at me. “I got to go now. Bye.” She turned around and headed to the gate.

“Mum!!” Aaron shouted for her. He ran up to her. “Mum, the shirt fits.” She nodded and hugged him tightly. She waved goodbye to us and walked into the gate.

“Mum..” I hugged Aaron tightly.

~3 years later~

~Christmas Day~

We are decorating the Christmas tree. Calvin, Jiro, Selina and Hebe are at my house too.

“Gor!!” I ran up to him. Just as I’m reaching him, I stepped onto something.

“AH!!” Falling Falling.. Eh? I looked up and see Aaron holding on to me.

“Gui, look where you are going. I don’t want you to get hurt ok!”

“Sorry, Gor.” He hugged me into his arms.

“OK!! Ready to have the Christmas feast!!” Mum shouted from the kitchen.

“Ok!!” Everyone said. After eating, we started playing and talking in the living room.

~At night~

“Gui, are you sleeping?” Aaron knocked on my room’s door.

“Nope.” He walked into my room.

“What’s behind your back?” I asked.

“For you. Your Christmas present.” He took out a big white bear behind his back.

“AH!! Bear!!” I hugged the bear tightly. “So cute..”

“Cannot. I’m going to take back the bear.” Aaron took the bear away from me.

“Hey!! Why?”

“I’m jealous of the bear already.” Huh? I started giggling.

“Not returning you the bear.” I took the bear from him and putted on the bed. I hugged him.

“Silly Gor.” He hugged me back.

“I’m glad that I met. I’m glad that I’m hugging you now. It feels so real.” I smiled.

“I’m glad too.” I looked at him.

“I love you.” I said.

“I love you too.” He kissed me on my forehead and to my eyes and down to my lips. He pinned me down on the bed. We had a long, passionate kiss. I love him like the way he loves me. My forever will always be you, Gor.

#23 Discharge

Chapter Twenty Three: Discharge

*Gui Gui’s POV*

“Aaron..” Both of us looked towards the door, Aaron’s mum is standing at the door.

“Why are you here?” Aaron asked.

“I heard that you are hospitalized so I came to visit you. How are you feeling?” Aaron’s mum walked towards the bed.

“I do not need you care.” Aaron looked away.

“Aaron..”

“Don’t call my name.”

“I..”

“I don’t want to see you.” I looked at Aaron. Actually he wanted to her to stay, he just do not know how he should face her.

“This is for you.” Aaron’s mum put down a bowl of soup before leaving the room. The moment she left the room, Aaron got down from the bed and walked towards the window. He stood there for a long period of time. I know why he stood there. Looking down from the window, he is able to see his mum coming out from the hospital. I walked towards Aaron and hugged him. I do not know how to ease the pain in his heart but a hug from me should at least heal a little.

He then walked towards his bed and took the soup.

“Gor..” He opened the cover and started drinking the soup.

*Aaron’s POV*

~Flashback~

“Aaron, drink more of the soup. You will get smarter by drinking mummy’s soup.” Mum patted on my head.

“Yea. Aaron love mum’s soup.” I smiled at her.

“Then you should drink more.”

“Yes. Aaron will drink more.”

~End of Flashback~

It’s the same taste as before.

“Gor..”

I miss this taste. I miss this feeling. Suddenly, Gui hugged me.

“You can cry out if you want.” She said. “I won’t look at you.” I hugged tightly in my arms. I didn’t know why but tears just kept on flowing out freely.

“I miss her. I did miss her.” Gui patted me on my back.

“I know. I know.”

~The day when Aaron is discharge~

“Gor..” Gui came into the room. I smiled at her. I pulled her to sit on my lap.

“Hey, later people will see it.”

“Yea. We saw that.” Calvin and the rest appeared in the room.

“Scare me. When did you all arrive?” Gui asked.

“Since Aaron pulled you to sit on his lap.” And they started laughing. I laugh too.

“Hey.. Stop laughing!” Gui smacked me on my chest.

“Ouch. Pain Pain.” I held onto the area where she smacked me.

“Ah? Sorry. I didn’t mean to. Did I hit on your wound? Is it very pain? I go and call the doctor.” Just as she stood up, I pulled her back.

“I’m fine. I’m just playing with you.”

“Hey! It’s not funny ok!” She pouted. I smiled.

“You look so cute.” I said. Calvin and the rest started making the vomiting sound.

“Oh my god. So disgusting.” I laughed.

“Hoh. You see. Anyhow say.” Gui started blushing. I hugged her tightly and smiled.

As we walked out of the hospital, mum is standing at the main door. I wanted to walk away but Gui held on to me.

“I told her that you are discharged today.” I looked at Gui. She pulled me to my mum.

“Aaron..” I didn’t reply.

“Gor, you are hungry right? Let’s go eat.”

“I’m not hungry.” I wanted to leave.

“Calvin, Jiro, you all is hungry right?” Gui turned to them and asked.

“Yea. Hungry. Aaron, let’s go.” Calvin and Gui pulled me into Calvin’s car. Jiro, Selina and Hebe helped my mum to their car.

“Gui, you did this on purpose.” I turned to her. She smiled at me.

“You did want her to come, isn’t it?” Gui said. “You shouted for mum while you are sleeping.”

“I.. When.. When did I?” I turned away from her.

“Yes you did.” I turned to look at her and she started giggling.

“You.. You..” I leaned forward and started kissing her.

“Gor..” I hugged her tightly. This will be your punishment for making fun of me.

“Are the both of you treating me as invisible?” Calvin said while driving. I ignored him and continue kissing Gui. Just then, Calvin made a sharp turn causing me to knock against the window.

“Ouch! You did it on purpose.” I grumbled.

“Who ask you to treat me as some invincible person.”

“I’m a patient eh.”

“Not anymore since you are out of the hospital.”

“You good.” Ow. My head.

“Gor, are you ok?”

“Yea. Somehow. My head not yet crack open.”

“Hey.. Don’t scare me.” Gui started observing my head. I smiled at her.

“I’m fine. Just a little pain.” She started helping me to rub my head.

“Gui is still the best.” I said.

“Do you want to get another knock?” Calvin said.

“You are jealous!” I said. “Gui is mine.” I cling onto her.

“Gor..” Just then, Calvin made another sharp turn.

“Ok Ok. Stop making sharp turns. I stop saying. You don’t make anymore sharp turns. Luckily, Gui isn’t hurt.” I said.

“Sorry, Gui.” She laughed.

“I’m fine. Just see the both of you bickering are so funny.”

“Ok. Reached.” We came into a restaurant. As we get down from the car, Jiro’s car reached too. We headed into the restaurant. They forced mum to sit in front of me. So “nice” of them. It’s kind of awkward sitting in front of her. It has been so long since I eat with her.

“Auntie, what do you want to eat?” Gui asked her.

“Anything. You asked Aaron what he wants.” Mum looked at me. I turned to Gui.

“Anything will do.” And they started ordering.

“Aaron, I bought this for you.” Mum passed me a bag. Inside the bag, it contains a shirt. I didn’t want to take it but Gui started nudging me.

“Thank you.” I took it over from her.

“Go home and try whether it fits. If not, I bring it back to the shop and change it.”

“It’s fine.” I said. The silence is making me feeling very uneasy.

“Food is here. Let’s eat.” The waiter started serving us our food.

“Aaron, eat more.” Mum started putting her food onto my plate.

“Stop giving me. You should eat it yourself.” I shifted my plate nearer to me.

“Auntie, you should eat more also.” Gui said.

“Ok.” My mum smiled at her.

After eating, we send her back to her hotel. All of us get down of the car. As she walked into the hotel, I wanted to call her. But whenever the word came to my mouth, I swallow them back. In the end, I still did not call her “mum”.

#22 Never let you go

Chapter Twenty Two: Never let you go

*Gui Gui’s POV*

The next morning, when I woke up, he’s not at home anymore.

“Gui, what are the both of you quarreling about yesterday?” Uncle Yan asked.

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. I’m going to school.” I stood up and left. I went to his classroom but Jiro and Calvin said that they did not saw him.

“Gui, calm down. He might be on his way to school already.” Calvin said.

“Impossible. He left home earlier than me today.” I got so worried. I shouldn’t have hurt him. I regretted.

“Gui, calm down.”

“I shouldn’t have broken up with him. He’s already badly affected when his mum came to look for him. Why did I still break up with him yesterday? My stupid brain.”

“You what?” Calvin said.

“You broke up with him?!” Jiro said.

“Why?”

“I don’t know. I’m very confused now. I got to go and look for him.” I started panicking.

“Gui, where are you going to look for him? Moreover, lesson is going to start soon.”

“No.. I got to go and look for him.”

“Gui!” Calvin shouted at me. “Calm down! You go back to class first ok?” I looked at him. I walked back to my classroom. After school, I dashed out of my classroom.

“Gui!” They saw me running out of the school but I didn’t stop but kept on running. I must go and look for him. I went to the beach but he isn’t here. I looked at my phone. He did not call nor message me. I started crying again. I shouldn’t have.. I then realized how important he is to me. Actually after I broke up with him yesterday night, I regretted.

I looked all over the places. I went to the place where Aaron and I went before but I couldn’t find him. Walking till late at night, I still can’t see him anywhere. Just then, Calvin called me.

“Hello?”

“Gui! Aaron is hospitalized!”

“What?!” Calvin told me the hospital Aaron is in and I took a cab down. It’s my fault. It’s entirely my fault. The moment I reached the hospital, I went to find him.

“Calvin, how’s Aaron? How’s Aaron?” I grabbed onto Calvin’s arms.

“Gui, calm down. He’s resting now. He drank too much and got beaten up. The doctor said that it’s just some minor scratches and bruises.” After hearing this, I calm down a little.

“Can I go and see him?” He nodded. “He’s inside.” I opened the door slowly. He has bandage everywhere. I walked towards his bed and sat beside his bed. Drop of tears came flowing down.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t break up with you. I shouldn’t say that I don’t love you anymore. I shouldn’t leave you alone.” Tears just kept on flowing.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Gor, I love you. I always love you. When I broke up with you yesterday, I regretted immediately. I’m sorry.”

“Gui?” I turned around to see Uncle Yan standing at the door. Did he hear everything I have said?

Both of us went outside and talked.

“Gui..”

“I’m sorry, Uncle Yan. I didn’t mean to hide from you.”

“Gui, why are you so silly? You should have told me. Actually I somehow already know the both of you are in love with each other when I saw the rings you all are wearing.”

“Uncle Yan..”

“From young, both of you are in such good relationship. It’s very difficult to stop the both of you from loving each other, isn’t it? But so what if you are in love with each other? That’s not illegal, isn’t it?”

“Uncle Yan.. But won’t our relationship affect you?”

“No. Who says so?”

“I said so.” Mum walked towards us.

“Dear, why did you say that?”

“They are supposed to be siblings isn’t it?”

“Yes. They are but they are not blood-related. If they fall in love with each other, it doesn’t matter, isn’t it?” Uncle Yan said.

“But how would other people look at you? Even though they are not blood-related, people might also think that since becoming siblings, they shouldn’t be together.”

“Dear, I do not care how other people think. As long as we can get happiness, our child also can get happiness, I’m fine with anything.”

“Dear..” Uncle Yan hugged mum. “Silly girl.” I smiled.

~The Next Day~

Once lesson ends, I rushed to the hospital. The moment I opened the door, he isn’t on his bed. Where is he? He woke up already? Just as I wanted to leave the room, he called me.

“Gui?” I turned around to see Aaron standing in front of me. I ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

“You scared me.”

“I went to the toilet only.” I then realized there is a toilet in the room. Why didn’t I notice? Maybe I’m too worried to be able to think logically.

“Gor, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t break up with you. I love you.” I looked at him. He smiled and hugged me back. I helped him back to the bed.

“Gor, do you want to eat anything? I go and buy for you.”

“It’s ok. I’m not hungry.” He touched my face and smiled.

“Gor, I’m sorry.” He came up and hugged me.

“I’m fine now. As long as you are with me, I will be fine.”

“I will never leave you again. I promise.”

“Aaron..” Just then, she walked into the room.

#21 Broke up

Chapter Twenty One: Broke up

*Aaron’s POV*

After sorting out my mood, I went back home.

“Aaron, go wash your hands. Get ready to take dinner.” Auntie Wu said.

“Ok.” I looked around the house but I couldn’t find Gui. Is she in her room? I went up to her room but she locked up her room.

“Gui?” I knocked on the door. There is no response. I started to get very worried.

“Gui? Are you in there? Gui!” Just then, she opened the door slowly.

“Gui? Are you ok?” I held onto her. She looked so weak.

“I’m fine.” She swing off my hand and walked down the stairs. She was not herself today. No matter how much I asked, she just ignored me.

“Gui..” I held onto her.

“Let me go.” She tried to swing off my hand.

“What’s wrong with you?” I grabbed onto her arm tightly.

“What’s wrong with the both of you? Quarrel again?” Dad walked towards us.

“Nothing.” Gui swing off my hand and ran into her room.

“Aaron, you made her angry?”

“I..” Is she angry about what I said this morning?

~Flashback~

“Gor.. You are walking too fast, I can’t catch up.”

“Then don’t follow me.” I said. She didn’t chase after me anymore.

~End of Flashback~

Stupid of me. Why did I even say that in the first place? Now she’s ignoring me. The next morning, she went to school without me. Even during break time, I went to look for her, she did not even turned to look at me. Only till at night, I then got my chance to talk to her. Dad and Auntie Wu went out to have business dinner.

“Gui..” I grabbed onto her arm.

“What do you want?”

“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to leave you alone. I..” She swings off my hand.

“Gui..” I ran up to her. “Why are you ignoring me?”

“Don’t block my way.”

“Gui!” I held onto her.

“Did something happen?”

“No.”

“No? Then why are avoiding me?” She kept silent.

“Answer me!”

“Because I find you irritating. I want you to leave me alone!” I loosen my grip.

“Wh.. What do you mean by that?”

“Let’s break up. I don’t want to get so stress and painful anymore.”

“You must be joking right? You still love me, don’t you?”

“No. I don’t love you anymore.”

“Look at me! Look at me!” I forced her to face me. “You love me, don’t you?” She did not reply.

“Gui.. I know you are lying.”

“Stay away from me.” She walked away. I stone for a few minutes before running up to her. I hugged her tightly from the back.

“Don’t leave.” She tried to struggle off my grip. I hugged her even more.

“Please don’t leave.”

*Gui Gui’s POV*

“Gui..” Aaron get hold of my arm.

“What do you want?”

“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to leave you alone. I..” I swing off his hand.

“Gui , why are you ignoring me?” He ran in front of me.

“Don’t block my way.”

“Gui!” He grabbed onto me.

“Did something happen?”

“No.”

“No? Then why are avoiding me?” Aaron, please don’t force me.

“Answer me!”

“Because I find you irritating. I want you to leave me alone!” I hurt him. I hurt him.

“Wh.. What do you mean by that?”

“Let’s break up. I don’t want to get so stress and painful anymore.”

“You must be joking right? You still love me, don’t you?”

“No. I don’t love you anymore.” I didn’t look at him when I said that.

“Look at me! Look at me! You love me, don’t you?” He forced me to look at him. I can’t tell him that I don’t love him when I’m looking at him.

“Gui.. I know you are lying.”

“Stay away from me.” I walked away. He ran up to me and hugged me from the back.

“Don’t leave.” I wanted to escape from his hug. He started to hug me tighter. He’s making me not bearing to leave.

“Please don’t leave.” I could feel that my cheeks started to get wet.

“Aaron, Gui, We are back.” Just as I heard this, I broke off the hug and ran back to my room, leaving him standing there alone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I looked at my ring. Tears just kept on flowing out without any control.

“Aaron, what happen?” I could hear Uncle Yan’s voice. Aaron did not reply. Just after 5 minutes, I heard a loud bang coming from his room. He closed his room’s door real hard.

“I’m sorry.. I’m sorry..”

#20 Sacrificing

Chapter Twenty: Sacrificing

*Gui Gui’s POV*

“Mum?!”

“Auntie Wu..” Mum walked up to me and slapped my face.

“Auntie Wu!!” Aaron pulled me behind him. Tears started rolling down my cheeks.

“Gui, are you ok?” I nodded.

“Auntie, it’s not her fault. I’m the one who love her.” Aaron said. Mum looked at him with her eyes wide open. “We are together.” She’s dumbfounded.

“What do you think the both of you are doing!!” And she slapped Aaron too.

“Mum, don’t slap him. If want to slap someone, than you slap me instead.” I stood in front of Aaron.

“Gui..” He pulled me to his side.

“Mum, I love him. Even he’s my brother, I still love him.”

“Gui, how could you..”

“I’m sorry.” Mum didn’t say anything else. She walked back to her room. Uncle Yan isn’t with her. I started crying again.

“Gor..” He hugged me tightly. I went back to my room.

“Gui, I’m coming in.” Aaron walked into my room.

“Does your face still hurt?” He asked.

“Doesn’t yours hurt too?” I touched his cheek. He shook his head.

“It’s nothing compare to yours.” I looked at him.

“Gor..” I touched his chest. “You heart should be aching too, isn’t it?” I’m referring to Aaron’s mum. His heart is hurting too, isn’t it? Why do things just happen all of the sudden at one go?

~At night~

We are having dinner together.

“What’s wrong with the 3 of you?” Uncle Yan asked. “Did the both of you made your mum angry?” Uncle Yan looked at the both of us. I didn’t dare to reply. Aaron did not say anything too.

“Dear, eat more..” Mum kept on taking food for Uncle Yan. All of us are avoiding the topic.

“Dear, are you angry with me for spoiling our honeymoon?” Uncle Yan asked. Aaron and I looked at the both of them.

“No. I’m fine. Your company has urgent matters for you to handle. I’m not angry for coming back earlier than schedule.” This explained why mum appear suddenly in the afternoon.

“I’m full already. I’m going back to my room.” Mum stood up from the chair and headed back to her room. Aaron and I kept quiet.

“Is there something happened that I missed out?” Uncle Yan asked again.

“Nothing.” Aaron replied. Aaron stood up and walked away. Uncle Yan looked at me.

“Uncle Yan..”

“Yea?” I think I should tell him.

“Aaron’s mum came back to look for him yesterday.” Uncle Yan dropped his chopsticks when I said that.

“So that explains why everyone is in such a moody mood?”

“N..No.. There are some things that I can’t say now. I will tell you when I’m ready. Uncle Yan, I go back to my room already.” I stood up and left.

~The Next Morning~

“Mum..” I walked to the kitchen.

“Go and take your breakfast.” She said coldly.

“Mum..” I grabbed onto her arm.

“You will be late for school.” She walked out of the kitchen. I went to the dining table and sit down.

“Gui, are you ok?” Aaron asked.

“Yea.” He put his hand on mine.

“I’m fine.” I smiled at him. After eating breakfast, the both of us get ready to go to school. Just as we opened the main door..

“Why are you here again?” Aaron asked.

“You are going to school already? I send you there.”

“No need. Gui, let’s go.”

“Aaron..” She held onto Aaron’s arm.

“Let go of me.” Just then, Uncle Yan and mum walked to the door too.

“You..” Uncle Yan said. “Both of you go to school first.”

“Ok.” I pull Aaron to the car.

*Uncle Yan’s POV*

“Why are you here? Do you know your sudden appearance would frighten Aaron? After you left so many years, you never once call him.”

“I.. I was training hard to become a top dancer. I didn’t mean to. I..”

“Top dancer..” I smirked. “So becoming a top dancer, what do you get in the end? Applauses? Flowers? Or fame?”

“Dear..” Dear put her hand on my shoulder. I nodded at her.

“If you want Aaron to call you mum again, you got to work hard yourself.” After saying, I stood up from the seat and left.

*Gui Gui’s POV*

“Gor..” I chased after him. “You are walking too fast, I can’t catch up.”

“Then don’t follow me.” I stunned at the spot when he said that. I stopped following him and headed back to my classroom.

He’s in a bad mood only. Don’t take his words to heart. I tried to convince myself that he did not say that on purpose. He should be fine after school. I will go and look for him after school. When lesson ended, I immediately dashed out of my classroom but I just couldn’t find him anywhere. Calvin said he left after lesson ends. He promised that he will always tell me where he is going. Why did you choose to disappear from my sight again? Just then, my phone vibrated. I took out my phone and saw a message send from him.

The message goes like this: Gui, I’m sorry about today. I’m going to the beach. You go home yourself ok? Aaron.

I felt kind of relieved when he sent this. I headed home after that.

“Mum, I’m home.” She is sitting on the sofa.

“Gui, come and sit down beside me.” I walked towards her and sat beside her.

“Mum, are you still angry over me and Aaron?”

“Gui, we will leave this house.”

“What do you mean?”

“It seems that I have to leave your Uncle Yan.”

“No! Mum. Why?!” I held onto her hands.

“Gui, you love him don’t you?”

“I..” She smiled at me.

“My daughter finally grown up and started to love someone. This is the first person that I heard you saying that you love him. As a mum, I should support you, don’t I?”

“Mum..”

“I will let you be with him but we got to leave first.”

“No. Mum. After dad, this is the second happiness that you found. You can’t..” She stroked my hair and smiled.

“Is my daughter’s happiness more important or mine? Of course my daughter’s, isn’t it?”

“No mum. Things shouldn’t go this way.” We kept silent for a while.

“I will leave him.” I said.

“Gui..”

“I will leave him.” I ran back up to my room and locked the door.

“Gui..” Mum knocked on my door but I did not response to it. I crouch at one corner and started crying.

If someone has to sacrifice in order to get happiness, than I will be the one sacrificing.

#19 She’s back

Chapter Nineteen: She’s back

*Gui Gui’s POV*

~After school~

“Let’s all go out and play!!” I said.

“Sure.” Calvin said. All of us, Jiro, Selina, Hebe, Calvin, Aaron and I, headed for the amusement park.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!” All of us sat the roller coaster and when screaming all the way. I could feel that I’m going to vomit anytime.

“Gui, are you ok? Let’s go and take a rest.” Aaron said.

“No. I still want to play.” I smiled at him.

“But you don’t look well.”

“But I still want to play. Or we don’t play exciting games first. We go and play darts? Or we go and sit the ferries horse? Gor..”

“Ok Ok.” I smiled widely at him.

“Let’s go and play separately than we meet at the ice-cream store.” Calvin said.

“Ok!” I pulled Aaron to the game stations. Darts, bottle games, ball games.. We nearly cleared every game there.

“I’m so happy today!!” I started skipping around.

“Gui, be careful.” Aaron held on to my hand. I smiled at him.

“Gor, let’s go and sit the ferries wheel before meeting them at the ice-cream store.” He nodded and we headed for the ferries wheel.

I laid on his shoulder.

“I’m so tired.” I said.

“I thought you are so hyper just now?” He said.

“All the energy used up.” I giggled.

“You ah..” He hugged me into his arms.

“Gor..”

“Yea?”

“How nice it would be if the ferries wheel doesn’t stop.” He smiled. I looked at him.

“Silly girl.”

“I become silly because of you, don’t you know?” I said. Suddenly, he bends forward to kiss me on my lips. I smiled.

“Let’s go!” The ferries wheel stopped and we headed for the ice-cream store.

“What took the both of you so long?” Jiro asked.

“The silly girl wanted to play every game.” Aaron patted my head.

“Hey, what!” I pouted and they started laughing. We spent the whole day outside. We only went home at night.

“Finally home! I’m so tired. Yawn.” Aaron sleeps on my bed. He likes to sleep on my bed.

“Gor, wake up. You haven’t bath!” I pulled him up from my bed.

“You go and bath first. Let me sleep first.” Sigh. I walked to the bath room and started bathing. The moment I came out of the room, he had already fallen asleep. This silly guy. I pulled the blanket and covered him.

“Mum..” I heard him mumbling. “Mum..” I pushed his fringe to the side. How much pain is he actually carrying inside his heart? I leaned forward to kiss him on his forehead. Please let him have a sweet dream tonight.

~2 days later~

Today is a weekend.

“Gor, do you want to go out today?” I asked.

“Where do you want to go, my sis?”

“Hmm… Where should we go?” Just then, the door bell rings.

“I go get the door.” Aaron walked towards the door. After 5 minutes, he did not come back. That’s weird. I walked to the door.

“Gor, who’s that?” I looked out of the door. A woman is standing at the door.

“Gor, who is this?” I looked at Aaron.

“You are?” She asked.

“I’m Gui Gui.” Aaron pushed me behind him.

“Why are you here?” Aaron looked at the woman.

“Don’t you miss me?”

“You should ask yourself this question.” I’m getting so puzzled.

“Gor?”

“Gui, let’s go.” Aaron pulled me out of the house. Just as we walked a few steps, the woman shouted for him.

“Aaron..” We stopped. “I’m sorry for not calling you for so many years. Because I’m busy with my performance so..”

“You are always like this. You left us because of dance. You didn’t call me because of dance. Then why are you back here for?” Aaron held onto my hand tighter.

“I came back to see you.”

“Aren’t you a dancing star now? I should be honor that you still remember I’m your son?” Son? She is Aaron’s mum?!!

“Aaron..”

“Don’t call me!” Aaron pulled me to the car and he drove off, leaving her standing there. He drove all the way to the beach. Both of us did not talk. I just follow silently behind him.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He started screaming towards the sea. My tears started flowing out. I ran up to him and hugged him from the back.

“Gor..” I could feel his body shaking. His tears started dropping onto my hand. He pulled me in front of me and hugged me. I patted on his back.

“Why is she back? Why does she have to appear in front of me? I spend how many years forgetting the pain. I almost remember the past. But once she appear, everything got so clear again. Her face, her smile, her gentle, her care, her everything.” I hugged even tighter.

“Gor, I’m here. I’m here.”

I sat on the sea side with him resting on my lap. When the wind blows, the trees move and my hair fly towards the direction where the wind blows. I looked at Aaron. I shifted his fringe to the side. He grabbed my hand and hugged it in his arms. I smiled. I do not know how to comfort him but I know. The best way to comfort him is to stay beside him.

~The Next Day~

I walked into his room. “Gor?” He’s not in his room. I ran out of his room.

“Gor!” I shouted for him but there isn’t any response. You don’t scare me. Faster come out. “Gor! Where are you?” I looked at the kitchen, living room, other rooms,
piano room. He’s not in the house.

“Gor!” I ran out of the house. “Where are you?!”

“Are you looking for me?” I turned around to see him standing in front of me. I ran into his arms. “You scare me. Where have you been?”

“I just came out for a walk.”

“You should have told me.”

“You are still sleeping.”

“You can wake me up.”

“I wouldn’t bear to wake you up.”

“Gor! You almost scare me off, do you know that?!”

“Why? You think I might do something silly?”

“Ya!” And he started laughing.

“It’s not funny!” I got quite angry because he did really freak me out.

“I’m sorry.” I ignored him.

“Don’t angry. I’m sorry.” He held onto my hands. I looked at him.

“Sorry to make you worry.” He said.”I promise you the next time I will tell you where am I. Even if I’m in the toilet, I also tell you.” And he started smiling. I glared at him.

He smiled and hugged me. “I’m sorry.” I looked at him. I tiptoed to kiss him on his lips. He hugged me closer to him and we started kissing passionately.

“What are the both of you doing??!!!” Both of us break off and saw mum standing in front of us.

Chapter Eighteen: Puzzle Solved

*Gui Gui’s POV*

“I’m so tired.” Aaron slammed himself against my bed.

“Gor..” I wanted to pull him up from my bed but instead, he pulled me onto the bed.

“I’m so tired.” And he slept on me.

“Gor, faster wake up. You are not going to sleep here, aren’t you?”

“I might sleep here.” He said.

“Hey.. Faster take all your presents back to your room.” I pushed him away.

“My room is crowded with presents already. No more space. Why not I bring all into your room?”

“Nooo..”

“Such a good idea.” He happily went back to his room and took all the presents, dumping them into my room.

“Gor..”

“Help me open them then.” He sat on the floor and started opening all the presents. I sat beside him.

“Watch. Wallet. Tie. Chocolate..” I looked at the packaging. It’s Hebe.

“Gor, take this.” I stuff the chocolates to him.

“Ok..” Just then, Uncle Yan walked into my room.

“Opening presents?” The both of us looked up.

“Dad.” He went to sit the chair.

“Uncle Yan.” He smiled.

“My big boy grows up again.” He patted on Aaron’s back.

“Dad..”

“Your Auntie Wu seems a little anxious about getting you a girlfriend. I know you don’t like it but you still go along with her. Don’t mind her.” Uncle Yan smiled. Aaron kept quiet.

“Both of you continue to unwrap the presents. Don’t stay up too late.” Uncle Yan stood up from the chair.

“Oh. Forget to tell you. Happy Birthday, my son.”

“Thanks dad.”

“And.. Follow your heart.” Uncle Yan told Aaron but he turned to smile at me. Eh?

“Good night.” And he walked out of my room.

“Gor, did you tell Uncle Yan about us?”

“Nope. Why do you ask this?”

“Nothing.” Or maybe I’m thinking too much.

We spend quite long on the presents. Aaron started stretching. “So tired.”

He hugged me from the back. “I still like your present best.” Both of us looked at the rings we are wearing on. He smiled.

“Ok. Good night.” He kissed me on my forehead.

“Good night.” He stood up and left.

“Hey, Gor.. Your presents.”

“Leave it there.” And he went back to his room. Sigh.

~The Next Morning~

I walked into my class. Hebe is there.

“Morning, Hebe.” I greeted her, trying to be normal but she turned away from me. I walked back to my seat. She’s still angry. The whole day she didn’t talk to me even once.

“Gui..” Aaron walked towards me. Hebe stood up and left the classroom.

“She’s still angry with us?” Aaron asked.

“Yea.”

“Nevermind. Let’s go home.” Aaron held onto my hand and we walked towards the car.

~At home~

I walked around the garden. Sigh. What should I do? I also do not know how to explain to her. I then thought of what Selina told me.

~Flashback~

“Gui, in every relationship, there is always someone getting hurt, there is also always people sacrificing. This is because love is selfish which only belong to 2 people. If there are more than 2 people, someone is bound to get hurt. I believe that you are the one which Aaron wouldn’t want to see getting hurt. Even if he feels painful and stress, he still wants to protect you. You must have more courage in this relationship.”

~End of Flashback~

“What are you thinking?” Aaron walked up to me.

“I’m thinking about Hebe.”

“Do you want me to talk to her?” Aaron asked.

“It’s ok. Nevermind. I will try to talk to her myself.” I smiled at him.

~At night~

“I will be going to England for 1 week.” Uncle Yan said. “Dear, you come with me ok?” Mum looked at Uncle Yan. “Both of us have not gone for honeymoon yet.”

“Huh? But..”

“Don’t worry. Aaron will take care of Gui, right Aaron?” Uncle Yan asked.

“Yea. Of course.” He replied.

“You see. So you don’t have to worry.” Uncle Yan said. Mum looked at me. I looked down to avoid her eyes.

“Ok. Settle.”

“When will the both of you be leaving?”

“Tomorrow!”

“So fast?!” Mum shouted.

“Yea. I bought tickets already.” Uncle Yan said.

“So you have already planned before you asked?”

“Yea. Are you angry? I thought of giving you a surprise and you would be happy. You don’t want?” Uncle Yan sounded kind of sad.

“No. It’s not it..”

“Then it’s settled right? Great! Let’s go and pack our luggage.” Uncle Yan pushed mum to their room. I smiled.

“Great. Then we will be free for 1 week!” Aaron said. I turned to him and knocked his head.

“What’s that for?” I smiled and walked away.

“Hoh. Stupid girl.”

“I heard that!” I said.

~The next day~

“Take care of Gui, Aaron.” Uncle Yan said.

“I will.”

“Ok. Times up. The both of you don’t need to send us. Go to school.” Uncle Yan said.

“Ok.” Mum took a last glance of me before leaving the house.

~In school~

“Hebe..” I tried talking to her but she’s still not giving me any response. During lunch break, I stood in front of her.

“Can we talk for a moment?” She looked at me and nodded. Finally, I managed to let her agree in talking.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“I..” She looked at me.

“I know.” I looked up at her.

She continues, “I’m sorry for slapping you that day.”

“It’s ok.” She looked at me.

“Calvin told me already.”

~Flashback~

Calvin chased up to Hebe that day.

“Hebe..” She turned to Calvin and cried in his arms.

“How could she lie to me?”

“She didn’t mean to. Both of them have been struggling for a long time.” Hebe looked at him.

“I remember the day when Aaron told me that they are together. I couldn’t accept the fact too. He has been hiding from us too. But I came to realize how painful it is for him which explained for his weird actions for the past few days. Because they are siblings, it’s hard for them to tell people that they are actually lovers. How could siblings become lovers? Even though they are not blood-related, but since their parents got married, people would see them as siblings. Gui is scare of hurting the both of us so she stopped Aaron from saying. It has been so painful for the both of them.” Calvin looked at Hebe.

“You should understand too.” Hebe kept quiet.

~End of Flashback~

“I’m sorry for not being understanding.”

“I’m in wrong too. I’m sorry for not telling you.” She smiled.

“We are still friends right?” I smiled and hugged her.

“Of course. We will always be.” I said.

“Back to the past?” Both of us turned to see Aaron and the rest standing at the door. Both of us smiled.

“Yap!” I ran towards Aaron and hugged him.
