Chapter 7
From then on, I didn't see Daniel and I didn't care anymore as my mind was full in love with Jowan.
Jowan was two years younger than me, but still I decided to pursue him. When I told Jason, he also supported me saying he will root for us.
I proposed to Jowan on the last day of his high school and he accepted.
The next time I saw Daniel was, when I went to their house with my parents, to initiate the marriage proposal.
Clara Baker
That's really awesome. Like we had always said during our college days, we can become relatives.
Agatha Roberts
Yes.. Yes..
My mom and Jowan's mom were college friends. And they had long wanted to make us together, but even before they could arrange blind date for us, we had already fallen in love with each other.
Jowan had become more clingy from the past few months, I really love this docile side of his. I ruffled his hair and looked at the garden.
I saw Daniel sitting near the fountain ⛲ looking at a flower in his hand.
Jowan followed my gaze and saw Daniel by a distance.
Daniel flinched as he had woken from his dream world and looked at our side. He panicked and quickly ran from there.
Michael Roberts
Does he hate me or something? He always runs away whenever I go near him?
Jowan Baker
It's not because of you, but me. He is always like that whenever he sees me. *sighs*
Michael Roberts
What happened? Tell me only if you want to share, or else leave it.
Jowan Baker
As you know he is my father's child out of wedlock. His mother and my father were childhood sweethearts, they were madly in love but poor in status. Father was excellent in studies, sports and was very good looking, a dominant alpha. He was the heartthrob of lots of people including all genders, be it man or woman, omega, beta and alpha, my mother was one of them. In the end, wealth won and my father married mom. When I was ten, my father returned with a child who resembled me very much saying it's his son. My mom got angry and they fought.
Jowan Baker
I thought I resented him for coming into our peaceful lives and making my parents hate each other. But when I saw his gloomy face, I wanted to make him happy. We became friends.
Jowan Baker
Then one day, at the age of thirteen as we were playing, I thought of an interesting thing. That's to swim in the nearby lake inside the forest. See.. There.. *pointed at it*
Jowan Baker
Yeah.. Danny tried to stop me, but I dragged him along. He was scared and didn't knew how to swim, so he didn't dare step inside and looked at me playing by myself. But then tragedy happened, I slipped and my leg crashed on to a rock, making me unable to swim. Danny panicked and tried to help, as I was losing my consciousness I saw him trying to come towards me.
Michael carefully listened to each word Jowan was saying.
Jowan Baker
I was unconscious for three days. When I woke up the first thing I asked for was Danny. My mother was worried about me, saying I can later see him. But I insisted, in the end, mom let me see him. For the past three days I had been unconscious, he wasn't given any food to eat and was beaten up by both of my parents. His figure was terrifying as he kneeled in his room, causing his knees to bleed.
Michael Roberts
Why? Did they punish him for harming you?
Michael Roberts
Why didn't he say anything then? Wasn't it you who brought him there?
Jowan Baker
Yeah, that was my exact thoughts that day. But how will he ever be able to tell them this?
Michael Roberts
What? Why won't he?
Jowan Baker
Because he is mute.
Jowan Baker
He couldn't talk. He hasn't received any education except me teaching him how to write a few alphabets. He doesn't even know sign language.Then how will he let them know the truth? Moreover no one cared. For my fault, he was punished. I tried to explain it to my parents but was shushed.
Jowan Baker
From then onwards, he kept his distance and never dared to come near me. It was all my fault. *eyes filled with tears*
