Living with my father was boring. Instead of a proper dinner with my family, we went back to eating on our own. I had gotten used to it. But, maybe not anymore. My father had returned. I was very convinced that things would be hard for Diane. She said she no longer wanted revenge, and she made up her mind to dump everything. Her mother died wrongly, but she decided to bear it in. Then, she met one of her father's acquaintance, my father. He must had reminded her of her death.
"I have something to tell you. " Lily Asher said as she sat beside me in the living room.
"You have been telling me several things these days, I hope it's nothing unpleasant to the hearing. " I said. Before I could continue, Lily bursted into tears. I did not know what was wrong with her but it was the first time I saw her like that.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying so much?" I asked.
"My baby..." She uttered as she kept on crying.
"What happened to your foetus? What?" I asked curiously.
"It's gone. I miscarried!" She said.
"What? I mean, how? Why would you miscarry?" I asked.
"I don't know. I had been visiting the hospital frequently and having consultations regularly. It is a surprise that I even lost my baby. Guess what? I have even prepared a name for the baby. But, here I am, failing. "
"You are not. I am sure your body can't bear to give baby birth at this age. It's fine. " I said as I tapped her on her shoulders. Was it really her that told me she was not ready to give birth until she is forty five? It was so surprising when she carried the pregnancy for weeks and suddenly cared so much for the child.
"Somchair Sangthong came yesterday. " I said trying to change her mood to anger.
"Who is that?" She asked.
"Wow! You really dated someone without knowing his name? You are incredible, Lily Asher Margarita. " I said in a jokingly manner.
"That's his name? He got a pretty funny name. I can't even pronounce it. " She replied as she smiled. "So, what did he say to you?" She further asked.
"He asked about Diane and proposed I should work for him. " I said.
"That insolent jerk! Work for him? He really has guts. I knew it from the beginning that he was up to no good. If I see him, I will just remove all his teeth and punch him in his face!" She shouted in anger.
"I did not agree. But, he mentioned something. " I replied.
"What is that?" She asked
"The truth I know now might be a lie and the lie I once knew might be the truth. The statement keeps bothering me. " I replied.
"He is using that to frighten you, so that you will not suspect him. " She concluded.
"Since Diane decided to stop revenge. There's nothing I can do. I should just live my normal life, but it is really upsetting to see the man. He does not have shame, does he? He did not even fidget when I told him you were pregnant, he just said congratulations! He is really annoying. " I said.
"Diane might not want revenge but I will have my own revenge. I will make sure he pays for it. Either or not he is a Thai mafia, he is nothing in front of me. That insolent jerk!" She said as she bit her lips fervently.
"I am curious about the secret between the both of them. The main reason Diane decides to quit, I really want to know. " I replied.
"How about we meet her father?" Lily asked. It was shocking!
"What? What kind of idea is that?" I asked.
"You told me dad is an acquaintance of her father. We could get some information from Dad and use the information against her dad. We could find out their relationship with Trev Electronics. Isn't that a great idea?" She asked.
"It is but what assurance do you have that dad will tell us. You remember when you asked him who Diane was, he insisted that we can't understand. It means if he tells us, it will be used against him too." I said.
"Then, what should we do?" She asked.
"We don't have to do anything, let's just back off and live a normal life. You should not date anyone for the time being. " I suggested.
"What? If I don't, how will I find my soulmate?" She asked
"I am sure you've found him already. You plan to get married at forty five, you can't afford to be pregnant again." I warned.
"I kind of want it. " She said.
"What?" I asked.
"A baby. " She replied.
"What!"
"Actually, it is cool. Especially if the baby resembles me. " She said as she smiled.
"Oh, really? So, you will go around and have sex with guys because you alwant a baby?" I asked.
"Baby boy, it will come to a stage in your life when you want to have every girls you see and do you know the funniest part? You can't have them because you are scared you might be caught by your wife. " She said.
"Not everyone can be like you, why will I want to cheat on my wife. I don't know who she will be but I am sure she will be irrestitably pretty. " I bragged.
"I should record our conversation so I wil remind you in the next ten years. " She replied.
"That is if we are alive. "
"You are not planning to die, are you?" She asked.
"No one ever plans to die before they do. "
"We aren't going to die. Never!" She assured.
"I will believe you. "
The conversation went on that my sister forgot the fact that she lost her baby. And if we really did died before ten years, if we really ceased to exist, does that mean we have failed in life? Does that mean we failed to protect ourselves? Does that mean we would have a lot of regrets?
