Where It All Started

Chapter 12- Meet Cassie pt. 2

"Ano po nangyayari?"

"Mam, nagwawala po kasi si Mam Sophie, pinahanap po si Ash kasi daw po tumakbo. Natatakot lang po kami, baka po ipatalsik kami sa trabaho namin" I felt sorry. Her mother sure is terrible

"Ganun po ba?, don't worry. She's back" I re-assured her and then headed to where the trio are

I opened the door and there I saw Ash, Blade and Klaire sitting on the couch at kaharap nila si Sophie.. daw

I bowed to show respect

"Good afternoon miss Sophie" sabi ko at umupo sa tabi no Ash which is nasa gitna ng dalawa

"I suppose you are Leanna Brookstone?" Sabi ng mama ni Ash

"Yes ma'am"

"No need for formalities. Just call me tita"

"Understood tita." Sabi ko and she smiled

Suddenly, Ash stood up from her seat with her hands balled into a fist

I grabbed her right hand but she shook it away

"Why are you being like this?! Pretending to be the understanding mother!! Stop it! It pisses me off!!" She said as tears started to find its way to her face

"Ashielle! I cannot remember teaching you some--" and before tita finished her sentence, Klaire cut her off

"Enough with the blabbering. I--" and Klaire waa cut off by my brother

"I'm going straight to the point. I did not like the way you treated your daughter. She is not some kind of a doll you can give. Damn, arranged marriage? Are you out of your mind?" He said. He's obviouslu annoyed

"Who do you think you are?!" Galit na sabi ni tita

And she finally came out of her shell

Before kuya could answer, we saw a hand on her shoulder. It has an emerald ring in its index finger, and her waist-long raven hair flew in the air

"Don't you think you're being out of character?" That monotonous-sweet voice

Cassie!!

"What are you doing here you little btch?!" She's totally out of patience

"It did not answer my question. To be honest, it's not the answer I was expecting"

Cassie, why is she doing this?

"And what should I answer you? Hmp!"

"That you are fake as hell"  she said. We gasped

"C-Cassie.."

"Shut up Lea" sabi niya, so I kept my mouth shut

"Cancel the wedding. You'll hurt someone" she said

"Well yeah I know that. She'll be hurt"

"How disrespecful." She retorted

"HUUH?!"

"That Zheng Xiumin. He has a girlfriend. And his girlfriend, is your daughter's friend.. Anna Kim. You're being too much"

"Well the hell I care?" Cassie did not answer for a minute or so, she seemed like holding something in

;what now? Got nothing to say?" Sophie smirked

"I just lost my respect to you" I butted in

"Well, like I care"

"You... don't you know how you're daughter's feeling about this? Do you know how hard she's doing to impress you? Do you know how hard it is to supress your emotion so that your mother will get proud at you? All the emotions she's shown you, tell me, are they all true?!" Cassie said pissed off but still kept her stoic expression. The only thing that changed was her pitch and tone. It's like... she was way too, affected by the situation

"Yeah I do know tha--"

"Then tell me what are the emotions she's felt!. I dare you tell me, right here right now" she glared

"..." her mom was speechless but then broke into a silent cry

"I'm sorry" she said between her sobs

Ash walked to her and hugged her mom, she said that it was fine and she'll forgive her. Her mom canceled the wedding, but instead she asked Xiumin to just marry her girlfriend whihc her father instantly agreed to. He just arranged his son to marriage cause he never knew he has a girlfriend. Everyone in the room got invited. Ash was invited to be the designing manager

And on the other hand, I saw Cassie outside. Feeling the cold breeze on her delicate pale skin, her hair flowing again once again and her calm little body structure standing on the top of the grass. The flowers and trees dancing with the wind as if they appreciated thw presence of the goddess

And right there, at that time, I saw the other side of Cassie, which I never imagined she had, the caring side of her. And finally, I met Cassie
