Chapter 3: Busy Moments.
But, it will be this Sunday? – Martin asked without understand.
Yes! Didn't you hear when the showman said? – Diana asked.
No. I guess it was when I went to take water for you… - he said. – …but… so?
I don't know…
But you know we always commemorate the ML's Day, I mean, it's a family tradition! – He said.
I know Martin, but you have to understand that I never had a chance like this one! I mean, who knows when I'll get another one like this! – Diana said. – Can't we postpone it?
But Di, we never postponed the ML's Day before! It's an important date to us, isn't it? – He asked.
Yeah, but… listen Martin, it's a day like any other one and…
What do you mean with 'like any other one'? – He interrupted her. – It's the most important day to us! And…
Oh, come on! This is starting to be idiot! Okay, mum married your father. We turned to brothers, but, so what? Can't we postpone it? This can be my only chance! – She said trying to convince the brother.
That's what YOU think, but I disagree! – He stood up. – I don't believe you said that. – He left walking through the canteen when he stopped and turned around. – You know what, Diana? Yesterday, when I hurt your feelings, I passed the whole night mad with myself thinking in how I disappointed you, and to reward you, I stayed making plans to give you the best ML's Day you could want… but I guess you don't really want it, do you?... Oh! And good luck on the big final… I really hope you win it… after all, that's what you actually want, right? – He left the canteen leaving the girl alone.
Martin's POV:
Martin came in his room and laid down on bed. " How she could say that? Diana likes the ML's Day… I know she's too happy and exciting with the competition thing and all, but she should not say that! And how about 'mum married your father', if she doesn't know yet, my father is hers too, and her mother is mine too now!... I don't know, but… did she get tired of me? I mean, did she get tired of the jokes I do to her and all?" he looked at the photo with Diana where was written: 'ML's Day/ 1998.' They both were smiling. Martin turned back the look to the roof. "What's going on?"
Diana's POV:
Diana came in her room and sat on bed. "Okay, I think I hurt his feelings… I should not say that… thinking better, why did I say that? On what was I thinking? On that stupid competition?... So it means I care with that MORE than with my family? Martin is right to be mad with me! I'm an awful sister... but and now? What will he think? That I don't want to make part of his family anymore? I need to apologize to him… but how?"
Someone knocked on the door.
Came in. – she said.
She saw a blond hair lock. "Martin?" thought.
Hi, Diana! – A boy who was dressing the same clothes of Martin came in.
Marvin! Er… Hi! – She answered surprised and, at the same time, disappointed. – Er…, wha-what are you doing here?
I just came to give you congratulations for the classification in the Brain Marathon's final yesterday… - He said "and he had to remember me of that!" Diana thought.
Oh,… thanks… - she answered sad.
What's up? – Marvin asked when perceived the unhappy expression on Diana's face.
No, nothing… - she lied.
No, Diana, serious! What happened? – He insisted.
Okay… - she breathed deeply – …I had a fight with Martin. – She said.
Seriously? What happened? – He sat on a chair that was next to him.
Okay – the girl started. – Every year, Martin and I celebrate the ML's Day, that was the day when our parents got married. Some years we travel, others we have a family dinner, others we go out… in shot… the question is our ML's Day is on Sunday…
Wait. – He interrupted her. – This Sunday, the Marathon's final day?
Exactly. – She affirmed sad. – and for this reason, I got angry with Martin on breakfast and said I thought the ML's Day was starting to be idiot… - she did a long sigh – so I hurt his feelings and here I am feeling myself a complete idiot! – Her eyes crowded of tears. – I don't want the things between him and me end like this, Marvin, I really don't want! – He held her when she started to cry. – I never hurt his feelings like that before… I don't know if he'll forgive me… He's the only brother I have, not biologically, but even so he is my brother!
Don't worry – he said hugging her – I'm pretty sure he will.
How can you be so sure? I mean, you're an only child, aren't you? – She asked.
Actually,… I wasn't… - he answered.
Please, review it!
