"Hello, my most beautiful sister." "Ryan!" Rose jumped with joy when she saw her little brother appear. "I miss you." Ryan hugged her tightly and kissed Rose's head over and over again. The young man looks very fond of his sister and misses her so much. "I'm sorry I didn't get to give you a wedding present." "No, Ryan, I'm sorry I gave you such sudden news. I-- sorry, I shouldn't have ignored you." Rose's voice sounded hoarse with tears in her eyes. An untimely wedding where Rosa left Robert just the day before her wedding. Rose didn't even understand how the pictures of Robert with Ruby and several other women could be in her hands just as Rosa visited the apartment. She, who was initially grateful for Robert's misfortune, finally panicked because she was trapped in a marriage with that man. Rose couldn't even run away anymore because of the tight security, nor could she contact her family. Everything happened so fast beyond expectation. "But I'm still there, aren't I? Although, we didn't get a chance to talk in the end." Ryan let go of his arms and wiped the tears that welled up. "Your husband is too possessive." "Don't say that, you know he's not that kind of guy. He doesn't care about me." Rose smiled bitterly. "Ah, sister, if he hadn't locked you up at that time and restricted my movements, I might have kidnapped you." Ryan chuckled. "Maybe I too was battered and broken by the blows of his guards." "I will not let anyone hurt my beloved brother." Rose flicked Ryan's nose. "Hahaha, of course, once you confront the guards, they will be silent because you are their mistress," said Ryan teasingly. "You could." Rose hit Ryan's arm gently. "But, if I did that, you'd never be married forever, would you?" Ryan smiled at the wide-eyed Rose. "You're not going to have time for yourself because you're too tired to pay off debt, not to mention taking care of Daddy and raising Kenzie. When things settle down, you'll continue to be restless." "Ryan is too much. You know that I love all of you." Rose hugged Ryan's hand and leaned on her brother's arm. They were currently on the yacht's deck, enjoying the moment the sun was about to set. Amid the crowd of people joking around in the pool, Ryan and Rose stepped aside like lovers. "Did you meet Daddy?" Rose is worried about her father's condition. After the wedding, she never got to meet her father. Robert even got rid of her cellphone. "Daddy? He's happy to have a famous doctor's son-in-law who he admires so much." "Huh, Daddy, he's not even worried about me," Rose complained. "He loves us, you know that, right?" Ryan stroked Rose's hair gently. "Yes, I know." Rose nodded slowly. Ryan looked down at Rose. The sadly beautiful face didn't look so miserable anymore. There was a glimmer of happiness that he had never seen before in Rose's eyes. Even though the woman would never admit it, Ryan knew Robert had a hand. "Are you happy, Sis Rose?" he asked in a whisper. "Happy?" Rose sighed. "I should be happy, right, because now nothing can separate Kenzie from me." "What about Robert?" "What about him?" "He's your husband." "Only on paper." "But you have sworn to life and death before God, Sister Rose." Rose fell silent at Ryan's words. True, even though this marriage is only a threat to save Robert's dignity and her father's safety, the oath before God is a sacred thing. "There will come a time when he divorces me," said Rose sadly. "Why are you so sure?" Rose gulped, she didn't know if she should have told Ryan about the two-chapter agreement with Robert. She didn't want to burden Ryan with her problems, but she didn't want to repeat the same mistake of not being open. "Tell Sis Rose what are you hiding, what are you bearing?" "I signed a marriage contract with Robert," Rose finally chose to open up. "Pre-nuptial agreement? Division of property?" Ryan asked about things often done by the upper class for various reasons. Some are for the sake of maintaining wealth, and some are to protect their partners. "No, but something else. A marriage contract." Ryan didn't understand what Rose was hiding and the contract terms. "Is there anything that weighs you down from the agreement?" Ryan's question made Rose pensive. "If I disobey and run, Robert will take Kenzie away--" Rose hid about deporting their father. However, unexpectedly Ryan didn't get angry but just smiled calmly. "Is there a limit to the agreement?" Ryan asked. "Nothing…, but does it matter? A contract is a contract, he'll just kick me out when he's done messing with me. Blows me like cotton." Rose pursed her lips to blow the wind, hoping the air would take away the pain in her chest. "Then, make him fall in love with you even more." Ryan's words took Rose by surprise. "Huh?" "Yes, Sis Rose, reach for your happiness, let go of the burden and the past." "Are you out of your mind?" Rose held her brother's forehead. She didn't understand how Ryan could say that. Asking her to be happy with Robert, the man who has made their family suffer, how can that be. "I'm sane, Sis Rose. Hate is not the right thing for you. You are an Angel, Sister, and an Angel who always forgives and looks to the future. I want you to be happy, Fall in Love, Love, and be Loved." Rose looked at her brother in surprise. Happy? She wanted that to happen. Rose's principle so far, happiness, is enough to see the person she loves happy. Although, in her heart, she hoped for more. Falling in Love, Loving, and being loved… those words feel beautiful. "I'm happy, Ryan watching you all grow." "Rose--" "Okay! Okay!" Rose interrupted Ryan's words. "I will close my eyes." Rose grabbed the iron rim of the ship's deck and closed her eyes. "I would dream of being the girl you say you are, falling in love, loving, and being loved." Rose smiled widely with all the images flashing through her mind. "However, as soon as I open my eyes, reality will return with you by my side," she whispered wearily. Rose was silent for a moment allowing herself to receive the sun's warmth that splashed on her face. The orange color makes Rose's beauty shine so perfectly, as perfect as the beauty of the sunset in the middle of the ocean. "You hear, I've found my happiness." Rose sighed softly. The girl turned her body to the side, she tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck to be able to land a kiss on the cheek of the young man beside her. "I'm happy and I love you." "R--Robert?" Rose was amazed when she saw that the man beside her was no longer Ryan but Robert. However, what shocked her, even more, was when the kiss didn't land on the cheek but on the lips. "Repeat, Rose," Robert whispered. "That's… a mistake." Rose felt Robert's hand wrapped tightly around her waist. "Repeat, otherwise--" "If not what?" asked Rose defiantly. "Otherwise, I will kiss you until you run out of breath." Robert didn't wait any longer for Rose to argue. He kissed her tenderly, right under the sun and amidst the admiring gazes of the many other visitors. "You should be happy, Sister," Ryan muttered in the distance. The young man did not miss the moment but perpetuated it.
