Chapter 189 - BLIND DATE

It totally blew Yanarym's mind, they changed so drastically that it was so contradicting if she compared them to the book's character. Anyway, as long as she doesn't trigger 'that' part of them. She's fine marrying Movu, there won't be any problem. 

"... I guess I'm too pretty to be left alone." She answered without blinking an eye. It would be futile to lie, he already knows the truth anyway. Jana probably told Yashnile about Lawrence earlier. 

"How was it?"

"What does that supposed to mean?"

"Do you like the guy - who hit on you?"

"He's cool and handsome. But I think you're the best Kuya."

"Really?" A smile on Yashnile's face appeared, he's an easy person, it doesn't require Yanarym to put in so much of an effort to please him. 

"Well, maybe Movu is the bestest." The smile didn't fade and he shrugged his shoulders, delighted with the answer he was anticipating from her. 

"By the way, Kuya, can we stop by the mall? I have to buy some requirements for an assignment." Graduating students have a lot more problems than it seems. Luckily, money could make life easy in this world. She could graduate in flying colors, and it's not like she had to work after graduating. 

"Alright." After some comfortable silence, her phone rang, and saw Yazeno's contact ID. 

"Hello?"

Zen: "Sis, where are you?"

"With Kuya, why?"

Zen: "Heading home?"

"No, to the mall."

Zen: "Which mall? I'll go there."

"At the Sun Bright." 

Zen: "Okay, bye, see you. I love you."

"Love you, drive safely, bye." Ending the call, she looked at the time and it's almost seven. She's feeling a little bit hungry. 

"Who was that?"

"Zen, he's coming too. I'll call Cailly so that we could have dinner outside, what do you think Kuya?"

"Go ahead." She contacted Cailly's number, after a few rings, she answered. 

"Hello, Cai? We're shopping at the Sun Bright and will have dinner there, mind joining?" 

"Of course, I'll just finish my last class then head there."

"Okay, drive safely, alright? See you."

"Okii, ba-bye, love you. Mwah-mwah!"

"Love you too, mwah." The family was going well. She managed to get everyone's affection and clear out the barricades that could cause problems in the future. All she had to do now was maintain the good relationship between them, brothers and sisters. 

The father was on constant business trips or opening branches overseas. Ever since the mother died, he never came home. Though he would once a year visit the Philippines Yanarym never saw him set a foot on the mansion. That was why most of the vacation was out of the country. That's right, she managed to make the bond stronger, and her father was not that aggravating whenever he saw her. Although she looked identical to the mother, she made sure not to show any similarities in personality for resemblances.

But maintaining was not as easy as it sounds, she shifted her eyes to Yashnile. Her numero uno problema, as she mentioned, Yashnile was obsessed with the original. That applied to her too, she was not dense not to feel Yashnile's feelings for her. That must be the reason why the original was building walls on him. Because the original could feel it too, however, she chose to deny and feign it. 

Yanarym would do the same, she would feign it. Since Yashnile wasn't aware of his own feelings and emotions as of the present. He buried it deep within him, although he could sense it, he would discern those feelings as love as an older brother but not as a man.

In the book, the key that set Yashnile's feelings free, and admitted that he loved the original more than a sister, was its death. Nonetheless, Yanarym wasn't sure if the death was solely the trigger. 

Movu will find her, not this year but in another year that goes by, two and half years to be exact. That would be the day when he finally ends his father's reign and becomes the highest rank on the underworld Gangdom. 

Fortunately, she could confuse Yashnile until Movu's return. However, she didn't consider the other factors that could ruin her marriage as well; Lawrence, Cailly, and Yazeno. Each person has a variable in her life. Since none of the information she had was reliable for the present to future use, this was all trial and error. 

The tasks were all easy but the situation was not. Before anything else, she would handle the biggest hurdle first. The diversion for Yashnile, the first person to put on a love experiment. 

"Hmm, I talked to my friend earlier and she agreed to date you on Sunday, how's that sound?"

"That's family day."

"We could postpone our family day---"

"That's family day."

"Then, should I tell her that you can only make it on Saturday?" 

"I have to finish papers that were due by that day."

"Friday?" 

"I have to fetch by 8:00 P.M. that day."

"It's alright, Zen can fetch me."

"If that's the case I will attend an important dinner party."

"Kuya! You told me you will cooperate."

"I am cooperating."

"Which part of that was cooperation?!" 

"I just told you my schedule."

"Then, tell me when you will be free, lunch or dinner doesn't matter." 

"..." He paused for a long time.

"Kuya." Yanarym sighed, here is why. The most stubborn brother. Yazeno would say yes to anything but Yashnile would think about it before agreeing. Cailly, well Cailly would rant at her but will say yes too. But Yashnile --- 

"I have no available time Rym---"

"SATURDAY! DINNER AT SEVEN! I will prepare everything so all I need is your presence."

"I told you, I have to attend---"

"You will go or I will ignore you 'till you do so?"

"...did I spoil you too much?"

"You did."

"Fine, I'll go, I will eat dinner with a stranger instead of my family," Yashnile uttered, agreeing but disapprovingly.. "Because that's what my sister wants."
