Broken sisters - Episode 5

 

CLAIRE: I’m searching for something, I don’t know how it feels or look like, or what it does but what I know is that they call it love. I have done a lot of things just to feel loved, given up my first life and now my second job. Tell me Sandra, why is it so hard for someone to just look at me straight in the eyes and honestly say he loves me.

SANDRA: I love you. And believe me that is very difficult for me to admit.

CLAIRE: yeah yeah! I’m not talking about you.

  Just before I could finish the sentence, I heard the doorbell ring, there was Adams looking straight at me, although he wants to apologize, I wasn’t ready to listen.

CLAIRE: Adams please just go home, please am begging you. 

ADAMS: Claire please just listen to me, please . I know I’m not the most honest guy, I did hurt you in the past but what happened today was never meant to happen. I just couldn’t get out the picture of you kissing Ben. I know this is childish but he is better looking than I am, your boss and you have loved him longer than you ever loved me and it hurts me to know you still do even though he is my best friend.

CLAIRE: Adams, it happened once, but….  Please just go I’m begging you.

I couldn’t help but wonder, what would my life be if I never went to that bar that day? I probably still be with my sister and might have fallen for the right guy. Are there any right guys? Why have every man in my life hurt me? I couldn’t stop the tears that rolled down my eyes as I remembered all my father ever did to my mum

. Men could be so mean and cruel, they don’t deserve to be loved. I still remember the tears that my mum shed as she begged my Dad to stay but he still would choose his mistress over us. And now history is back again. I have fallen for three guys all my life but they all turned out to be the same, evil, wicked, monsters. First Daniel treated me like crap, then Adams whom introduced himself as Jack only to be my sisters boyfriend, then Ben my all generous boss, choose me over Rebecca only to sex me and dump like I was a piece of shit. Please mother nature just take me, I rather die now than live this torture. Thoughts rushed through my head I didn’t realize the coming car but I knew something had hurt almost as much as my heart did. Few minutes later, I woke up in a white room the lights felt like they were pointed straight into my eyes as I heard a man say “she is okay now”. I would want to confirm what hospital I was but the one person I would rather not see stood right there looking right at me. 

BEN: Claire, I know you probably don’t want to see me right now, but if after what am about to say, you still feel I should leave,  then I will.

I know I chose Rebecca over you, I was wrong. Claire everything made me see clearer what I would have lost if I lose you, what I will lose if I lose you. Claire I was too attached to Rebecca that I couldn’t let go, I had only dated her since I was a child. My parents wants us to be together to unite the two companies but you made me realize I would rather be with the person I love than an arranged marriage.

CLAIRE: Ben, you know I love you, I never hid it even from Adams. I cried every single day wishing you would go back on the choices you made, how you left me standing under the raining that night.

 “I’m here now, whatever you want”. He said holding her firmly.

CLAIRE: I can only be with you when I’m sure no one can take you away anymore. You have to...

Before i could complete the statement we both said “marry me”. Smiles filled our faces as we kissed. Although it was so wrong since I was yet to end things with Adams but it felt so right like the first time we did it right outside a bar in the cold night. Ben and I made arrangements, Sandra was not in support of it but if it wasn’t for her, I never would have met Ben in the first place. Either ways she was going to be a special guest as my sister was to be my bridesmaid. Although she was happy for me, I knew she wasn’t entirely happy. I could feel the world saying no to us even Ben’s parents but it was us against the world. 

The day arrived when I looked at my mirror, my wedding gown was even more beautiful than I ever imagined. It was a day every girl would always dream of and never forgot. It marked a change in my life. I could feel my heart race as cold chills run through all my body as I walked towards the alter. I listened closely to everything the priest said till the moment requested for the rings. Joy filled my heart as the bridesmaid and best man stretch forth the rings, then I noticed the scar on the best man’s hand. Oh God it can’t be…
