SISTER IN LAW novel Chapter 49

"Thank you," he said suddenly. I just nodded to him in response.

"So how are you?" I asked.

"Here, it's good that no vital parts were damaged. So I recovered quickly. Do you know, I really love Leysa," he replied so I looked at him when he mentioned Leysa. I just kept quiet, waiting for him to tell their story.

"Meeting Leysa Frank was the best part of my life. We met unexpectedly and fall in love. We are college sweet hearts back then, she was a freshman while I was in my last year as well. And that time, I did not know the Frank adopted Diana, my puppy love. Diana and I are best of friends when we are in the orphanage because we were left in the orphanage at the same time, so we grew up with each other. She was adopted in the age of three but that did not cause her to leave me, she always visited me, giving me foods and clothes. She did not forget, so she was my sympathizer and made me feel important, so I loved her in our young age. We also separated when I was adopted at the age of 7. So I just moved on and was happy with the course of our lives. A few years later, my feelings for her did not change, I even promised myself to find her and have a happy life with her, someday. But things changed, when I met Leysa, my point of view on life changed. I just woke up one day, she is already the one I want to be with in old age, he is the one I imagined walking in the aisle of the church towards me. Because she is the kind of woman who will you desired for a lifetime. (Dan looked at me as he said that, as if he was saying I am lucky to have her.) But everything suddenly changed, it was our 5th monthsary when Leysa took me and introduced me to her family. And there, I found out that she and Diana are sisters, and that was also the beginning of my cheating years on Leysa. Diana seduced me, she used our past to get me. And I will admit every time something happens to us, I remember again the day I loved her first. So again and again, I imprinted in my mind that I love her, I love her. I have also reached the point where I want to break up with Leysa, I love her so much that I do not want to fool her anymore. But then, Diana threatened me, that she would send Leysa a copy of our sexual intercourse behind her back. And I don't want her to feel unworthy and unloved - that's what she hates the most. She could not cope because I feel how much she loved me that time. But I am very happy to end my relationship with Diana because I really love Leysa very much. And that's the time she focused on you, that's the time she met you and married you. I didn't feel jealous before, but Diana thought I was jealous. But no, I am actually happy for her that she has found someone for her. But then I thought she was going to stop her mania – but we did it again, again and again behind you and Leysa's back. I was so overwhelmed by fear then because I could no longer afford to lose Leysa to me, that she might leave me once she finds out about her sister and I's sexual relationship. And I was right –she saw us, the night before our wedding day, the day I would have longed for. I know she's there, that's why I talk shits that she'll get hurt. (I was surprised by Daniel's statement. So ?, he really loves her ... that much he sacrificed his love for her to keep the woman he loved the most from a man like him. He knew that Leysa would only be hurt in his arms.) I pushed her away from me. So I was not surprised that she would not show up on our wedding day. It hurts, because I love her ... but I prefer not to confine her to the cage that Diana made. But I also did not expect her to return with revenge. I was so crazy back then, thinking what if she will get hurt again by what she was doing. I wanted to warn her from the start, I wanted to meet her and talk to her, but I did not have the courage. And as what I dreaded to happen just happened, 6 years ago. And then again she's hurt. You are stupid and an asshole. I hope you were able to defend and choose her that time. But you are more stupid than I am. So I hope now, you gotta choose her, I know she really loves you since then and do you know... ah nothing," Daniel's long litany. But I know he still wants to tell me something.

"What is it?" I asked, urging him to continue what he is about to say. But he just shook his head.
