CHAPTER 4

And so, i really want to fast forward the story but everything will fall into places. So be patient and bear with me again . :)

Anna relieved the pain, anger and jealousy from her encounter with Elsa and Hans. It made her realize the undeniable truth that she fell in love with the wrong person, at the wrong place, and at the wrong time. The thoughts swirled around her head as she stared blankly at her ceiling. She still hadn't turn on the light in her bedroom. From the time she arrived home, she locked herself up in her room and hadn't come out since.

"Anna, honey, what's wrong? Are you okay?" asked her concerned mother, Idun, knocking on the door of her room. Her mother's frown deepened when she didn't hear her daughter's reply. Idun decided to go to Elsa's room instead, hoping that her other daughter could answer her question.

"Elsa, do you know why Anna's upset? Don't deny it. I know it when you two are fighting."

Hearing this, Elsa stopped answering her homework and slowly faced her mother. With a heavy sigh, she said, "Mom, it's just a small misunderstanding, okay? I just don't wanna talk about it right now. Can you please let it slide today?"

Upon seeing Elsa's miserable face, Idun knew that she couldn't do anything if no one will open up. She sighed and nodded at Elsa before leaving her daughter's room. The silence inside their home brought the quick passing of time.

As Idun prepared for dinner, Adgar, her husband, arrived home. His stern face twitched in surprise at the sight of the empty dining table. Usually Anna and Elsa would be hanging around the kitchen, helping their mother prepare dinner and playing with each other. Tonight, however, it was just Idun doing all the cooking.

"Hey, sugar, where are the girls? Not yet home?" asked Adgar in his booming voice.

Idun hesitated. She knew that her husband was really strict when it comes to dinner; he always wanted their family to be complete during dinner time. Crossing her arms across her chest, she gave Adgar a resigned sigh and concerned glance upstairs. Adgar knew what it meant in an instant.

Adgar looked worried and decided to call the two girls. He went upstairs, knocking loudly on both rooms saying, "Elsa, Anna, I'm home! Can't you greet your hardworking ol' man? I've missed my babies. Come on down, let's all eat. Your mom cooked all your favorites!"

Anna hearing the word food put up a happy facade and went downstairs. As she entered the dining room, she felt the worried glances of her parents and the cold avoidance of her sister. Her tears started to swell up again, and she gritted her teeth to stop the tears from falling.

"Sorry, mom, dad. I'm actually not hungry. Please understand." Her voice trembled and she feared she might break down in front of everyone. With a last apologetic nod to her parents, she turned and quickly ran back to her room, locking herself up for the rest of the night.

Elsa couldn't sleep a wink that night. She was dumbfounded by the sudden outburst of her sister. She stared at a corner of her room as she reflected on her actions. It wasn't fair that she was upset at Annas' behaviour. She did hide the fact that she had a boyfriend to her sister. They were sisters, and they were supposed to tell each other everything. Of course Anna would be mad. But it still left something in Elsa's chest. Heaving a small sigh, Elsa decided to apologize to Anna in the morning.

The next morning Elsa gathered all her courage before going downstairs to talk to Anna.

"Elsa, good morning! Here, your favorite toast and butter." Idun smiled, giving the plate to Elsa.

"Mom, where's Anna? Is she still asleep? I'll wake her up if you want—" Elsa said eagerly. Her mother interrupted her and said, "I'm happy that you're making the first move, Elsa, but dear, she left already. She said she had something to do."

Elsa cannot hide the disappointment at her face. She just gave a slight nod to her mother before quietly eating her breakfast.

Anna was staring blankly at the professor in front of her. She kept on replaying their fight on her mind. When the bell rang Kristoff quickly approached her. "Hey, Anns. What's up? You won't leave me today, right? 'cause you know how clingy I am," Kristoff said with a teasing laugh. "C'mon, don't stress things out. Let's get some food."

Anna let herself be dragged by Kristoff to the cafeteria. However her already sour mood just worsened when she saw Elsa and Hans sitting together. "I didn't know Elsa eats here now. She used to always eat in their room after buying food. But now look at her goofing with that asshole!' Anna thought to herself, irritated.

Noticing Anna's change of mood, Kristoff pulled her waist and began tickling her. Anna burst out into loud and uncontrollable laughter in front of the cafeteria, making all the people look their way. Both of them didn't give a care. It has always been like this between them. Whenever she felt down, Kristoff was always there to cheer her up in weird and unusual ways. He could always turn her bad mood into something good. Anna felt lighter as her giggled faded away. She flashed a grateful smile at Kristoff before finally entering the cafeteria.

Elsa felt bothered by the whole act Anna and Kristoff pulled off. She was happy to know that her sister was more or less okay again, but she wasn't happy with Kristoff being the reason. There was something really odd going on with her. Ever since she saw Anna's crying face, there had been this constant strange churning in her stomach whenever she saw her sister.

"Mom, what's for dinner?" Anna asked her mother with an enthusiastic grin.

"Well, I'm cooking you and your sister's fave, garlic chicken," answered Idun.

Elsa was relieved that her sister seemed alright again, but something at the back of her mind kept on bothering her. She wondered if Anna would talk to her or ignore her. Tired of thinking and waiting she initiated the talk. "Baby sis, what happened earlier? You were laughing your heart out in front of the cafeteria. Everybody was looking at you."

Anna startled at Elsa talking to her, but she gathered her wits and replied, "Nah, it was Kristoff. He suddenly tickled me! You know how ticklish I am, so I couldn't stop laughing earlier."

Elsa felt a weight lift off her chest when Anna answered her. Maybe it was too early to say it, but she was glad they were back to normal again. That night, Elsa stayed in Anna's room to bond with her. She prepared everything, from the snack to the beer she stole from her father's cabinet.

Elsa took a deep breath and sat beside Anna on the bed. "Hey, sis. I know we haven't talked about what happened the other day, and I just…I'm really sorry for shouting at you like that. I was just shocked on how you treated Hans. Look—okay, if you have any questions about Hans I'll answer them, alright?"

Anna blinked at her sister's sudden openness about her relationship. She felt a mix of emotions. Was she happy now that Elsa was opening up to her? Or was she sad and scared to know about her relationship with Hans? Can she really take it all knowing that she's in love with Elsa?
