Chapter 9 9

"Why do I have to remember that figure again after choosing Robio as my lover?"

"What did you say, babe?"

"Just that I love you."

The next day, my extended family held a funeral for both of my parents. I've been silent, staring at my parents' coffins since morning. This is incredibly painful for me. Why do I have to lose them over and over again?

"Sandra, I mourn your parents' death with you."

"Thank you, Thei."

Throughout the funeral proceedings for my parents, Robio continues to embrace me, making me believe that he won't leave me alone. Robio and Thei's relationship ended after we graduated from school.

"Sandra, I need to go see my parents to discuss your life."

"My life?"

Before I can finish asking, I see Robio has already left me.

After the funeral, we go to my parents' graves. At the cemetery, I catch a glimpse of a man that surprises me a little.

"Aldyn?"

I'm surprised and quickly approach him, but I lose sight of him after reaching him.

"Where?"

"Sandra, let's go home."

My extended family and I return home. Inside my house, I see Robio's parents talking to my uncle.

"Sandra, we've discussed your future life. We've decided that you'll live together with Robio."

I'm quite surprised by their decision, but I can only accept it. I think Robio is my boyfriend, so it's not a

problem for me to live with him.

"I'm really grateful that you're letting me stay with you." I smile at him.

"Why are you talking like that? Oh, by the way, I have a surprise for you."

"A surprise?"

Robio gives me the university alma mater sweater of my dreams, which makes me pleasantly surprised and happy.

"Is this for real?"

"Do you like it?"

I nod happily and hug him tightly.

"Thank you so much, Robio."

Robio wipes away my tears and kisses my forehead.

"Babe, you don't need to work hard to earn money for your education because you already have what you want."

I smile and hug him tightly again.

"Thank you so much."

"Okay then, go to bed because it's already late."

I smile, Robio becomes even more warm and gentle with me, pushing Aldyn's place in my heart aside. My feelings for him grow stronger.

"Thank you, Robio."

Robio prepares food for me, he's the ideal man in women's eyes. He's kind, warm, and very gentle.

"You should eat a lot, babe."

I smile and eat the meal he prepared.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"From now on, you have to excel in your studies. Don't disappoint me, okay?"

"Of course, I'll make you proud of me."

Today is my first day of college, and I go to class with Robio.

"Ah, the campus prince!"

Just one day at college, and he's already become a campus prince at the renowned university due to his good looks and kindness.

"Robio, will you go on a date with me?"

"Sure," he smiles warmly at a woman who looks like a bad girl.

I'm stunned by his answer.

"Are you sure you want to go on a date with her?"

I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I'm quite anxious.

"But what if she's not a good person?"

Robio looks at me with a confused and slightly annoyed expression.

"Why do you seem so worried? Aren't we used to this game?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little afraid that you might be influenced by her."

"I don't care, anyone who wants to go on a date with me, I never take it seriously."

I still feel uneasy, watching that woman continue to approach my boyfriend, Robio, and my boyfriend seems comfortable with her.

"Why am I worrying about her? It's pointless. No matter how hard I try to stop him from going on a date with her, he won't listen to me," I grumble.

I watch them being very romantic in front of my eyes. We're used to playing these games, but for some reason, my heart hurts this time, and I don't like seeing Robio being affectionate in front of me.

"Annoying!"

I go back to my seat in class, busy reading a book.

"Compared to that woman, I'm already a big loser."

Robio sits beside me and whispers in my ear, "Are you jealous?"

"Can't you just not go on a date with her?"

I can see the sarcasm and anger in his eyes.

"Why are you giving me rules? I've never set any rules for you. We've also agreed to play this game, so why are you changing now?"

"I don't like that woman."

"Whoever she is, I've never had any serious intentions with her."

I fall silent again and focus on the book I'm holding.

"Stop acting like a child, babe."
