The 3rd Generation
Chapters. 47
Zion stood by Abio's bed. The man looked towards Abio before looking towards Livy. Livy looks more reserved today. Usually, the woman is always cheerful. Meeting Zion always say hello. Saying a lot of pleasantries. This time Livy looks a lot shy away from Zion. Even looking at his face was not brave.
"He fainted from drinking mostly alcohol. He will realize by himself. I've injected drugs" Livy said without looking. The woman tidied up her medical device before stepping towards the door.
"Wait!" Zion's got Livy's hand. Forbid the woman to leave. "Something I want to talk about."
"Sorry, brother. I'm busy," Livy lied. It was actually because he couldn't talk about his feelings for Zion.
"Not long. I just need five minutes." Zion forces Livy to come with her. She takes Livy and leaves the room where Abio is being treated. Zion leads Livy into a quiet passageway that is rarely passed by.
"What's up, brother?" livy asked still with an expression of pretending not to know.
"I know that Abio is drunk again. Usually, the word drunken man cannot believe. Sometimes they even tell the truth. Livy, before Abio didn't realize he had said he loved you so much. But you love another man. Is that true?"
Livy looked embarrassed and scared. He's starting to panic. If he could escape, he might run away instead of answering Zion's question now.
"Livy, look at me and answer my question!" zion said he was upset when Livy didn't answer.
"Yes." Yeah." Livy raised her head and looked at Zion. "I love other men. I cannot accept his love. My heart belongs to another man!" There's a puddle of tears in Livy's eye patch. He was holding himself back from crying.
"Who is that guy?" Zion's expression was cold. Livy was getting scared.
"What if I know who it is?"
Livy immediately looked at Zion's face. The woman began to have difficulty breathing. Even his body was trembling in fear. He was so wrong that he turned stupid. Livy is always smart and can easily avoid problems.
"Sister, what's wrong if I love Brother Zion?"
Zion was stunned to hear it. There's nothing wrong. Everyone's feelings are no one knows where he is comfortable. However, Zion does not want Livy to feel the same way as Abio. The love that is rejected. Zion doesn't love Livy. The attention and gentle attitude he gave to Livy during this time was purely because Zion considered Livy like her own biological sister. To avenge Livy's love, it would never have been possible. Zion doesn't love Livy even a little bit that love doesn't exist.
"Forget over me and open your heart to Abio. He's a man who can promise to make you happy, Livy. Not me!"
"But I want Brother Zion." Livy's got Zion's hand. "Nr ...."
"I'm sorry. Maybe because all this time I've been too attentive to you until you misunderstand. I carry you when you're tired. Hugging you when you're sad. Even kissing your forehead when you're angry is all because I care about you as a sister. Livy, you should also know that I did that to Daisy and Norah. So, I ask you to forget about me and all your feelings for me. This is best for both of us. If you keep him, don't blame me if I think of you as a distant brother. I can't treat you as a sister anymore!"
Zion looked at the clock in her hand. "It's been five minutes. I gotta go. I can't leave Daisy for too long."
The man left Livy, who was holding back her tears. When Zion was far away, one by one tears wet her cheeks. Livy didn't think that her first love hurt like this. He looked right to left to make sure no one was looking before smiling bitterly.
"It doesn't have to be answered. Allowed to love you alone, that's more than enough."
