My Sister's Candidate Becomes My Husband

CAMS - Up 40

"Why are you quiet, Rain?" Aunt Mei's biased voice again pulled Rain from her subconscious.

Rain regained his senses, his eyeballs moving in a daze looking at Aunt Mei. He was forced to wake up from a nightmare, conscious but still unable to escape the influence of the nightmare.

"You remembered, right? I know you remember what happened that day so stop pretending you don't know?!" Snapped Aunt Mei with a sharp look in her eyes.

Rain was sad and at the same time frightened. Her neck involuntarily shriveled wanting to hide from Aunt Mei. Honestly, Rain is not a person who is good at talking and playing words so in front of Aunt Mei's class, she is no different from a cowardly human.

Rain knew but it was very difficult to rid himself of this cowardly 'title' because that was his illness.

He was sick but no one wanted to understand his condition.

"I just remembered it. Before this nobody wanted to tell me about Uncle. I'm so sorry to have involved Uncle that day. If I knew Uncle would.hiks.." She bit her lips as hard as she could to hold back her sobs.

Her face must have looked extremely sickening in Aunt Mei's eyes and this regretful cry would never be able to fit into Aunt Mei's eyes, he knew how bad it was to Aunt May but foolishly he could not control himself not to cry.

He was very sad to know the cause of Uncle's death was because of himself.

"You're very cunning, Rain." Aunt Mei's voice sounded desperate.

Wh why?

But Rain did not dare to look at Aunt Mei, even just making a sound to chimed in he was very hesitant.

"That day, why didn't you just die?"

Deg

Rain's mind instantly became empty, his body stiffened motionless but the tears in his eyes did not stop flowing.

These cruel words, these,

Rain had not expected that one day he would hear it from the mouth of someone he labeled a 'family'.

"Why not you, Rain? Hasn't your life been useless? You are mentally ill and cannot be cured, so why don't you just die?!"

Rain doesn't know why either.

As Aunt Mei said she had no use in living and was very troublesome because of the psychological disorder that had been eating away at her soul for years. Rain wondered,

Yeah, why don't I just die? Inner empty.

No one really needs his life in this world then why is he still alive?

Life is useless, too. He only made his family suffer more. Right, mentally ill.

Ironically.

"The one who should die is you. As your presence at home made matters worse, you destroyed our peace. First, you took my husband's love and took his life, and now you're seizing your sister's future husband, forcing you to marry you! Are you satisfied, now?" Every word Aunt May said was like an invisible knife to Rain.

It scratched his heart continuously nonstop, creating new wounds and increasingly making the old wounds re-energize wet.

"Why is it my fault?" Whisper Rain dazed.

Why is this his fault?

Uncle fell in love with him, is this still Rain's fault?

She never even knew Uncle's feelings before the confession that day but why Aunt Mei blamed him for a mistake she never made.

Maybe... maybe Uncle's death was his fault but what about Uncle's feelings?

Rain knows nothing.

And Deon was also this marriage, since the beginning Rain never had a chance to talk. They were all origin to making decisions without considering his opinion, so was this still his fault?

"Aunt May..." Rain clenched his hands together venturing to raise his head in direct gaze with Aunt Mei's sad face.

Without even asking Rain knew how devastated Aunt Mei was at this moment. But... Rain was equally broken.

"I regret my stupidity for Uncle's departure, I admit that the day was my fault. But..." Tears rose again from the corner of his eyes, "Is this still my fault? Uncle's feelings for me, is this still my fault? My marriage to Deon and me, is this still my fault? You guys.hiks.." Heart's hurting.

He was tired of being constantly blamed but stupidly he was a coward, he was a coward!

Because of his mental state he always had difficulty speaking, expressing his grief and difficulty asking for justice. He's sick, he's sick!

But why would they not want to understand the situation when they all knew of his illness, they all knew that he was not a normal person?!

Why are they so unfair?

"You won't let me speak up and defend myself. Every time I tell you the truth you always refuse to believe and still label me as the wrong person. Why why anyway? Regardless of the truth you reject, shouldn't Deon marry me? So why me-"

"disgusting." Cut Aunt Mei grim.

"Before there was still sympathy in my heart for you because after all you are my nephew too. But now after listening to what you said earlier I suddenly realized that you were a hypocrite, Rain. You ask, is this all your fault? I answered, yes! This is all your fault!. But you don't know yourself, Rain. Otherwise, you would definitely not have the heart to destroy Almira's life. If you really had a heart you would definitely never let yourself constantly think of Deon, your sister's future husband. Awake, Rain! Deon now has Almira in his heart. He is no longer the boy you always stick around with! Deon is getting married to Almira soon so you need to wake up! Wake up from your fantasies or else why don't you just die so that no one else suffers because of your deeds!"

Get up or die!
