Aces
Chapter Three: Cremia, the Ace of Clubs
My life is now a wreck. How can I ever face Anju or Kafei again? They don't know the truth...about how much I hate their union. It isn't fair. I wanted to have Kafei. I had often dreamed he was only impressing Anju to get my attention. Some day, he would turn around and tell me he was only pretending to love Anju to get close to me. Sure, Anju would be upset but she would understand...she always did.
I'm an evil person for admitting it. I know.
But I didn't just want Kafei for a husband. I NEED him! Kafei is an influencial man in Clock Town and he would have been so helpful for business for myself. Not to mention me marrying him would have given Romani a newer and much better life...and myself as well.
Anju didn't lose her whole family. Her mother and grandmother are still alive and with her. I've lost my mother and my father. Trying to deal with my family business is stressing all by myself.
I'm jealous. Insanely jealous. It just...isn't fair!
Why did Anju get to be the one to fall in love? To have a beautiful man propose to her? And for that man to be one of the most powerful and influencial people in Termina?
Why can't karma get me a break?
I need a hero in my life too. I want someone to save me. I may not be a princess, but I'm sure I'm pretty enough to pass as one.
I want love too.
This invisible love triangle pains me deep inside...but if I had tried to fight for Kafei, I would have lost them both anyway. This trio is connected like a three leaf clover. Anju sees me as her friend and Kafei sees me as an acquaintance. I see Anju as my rival and Kafei as the target of my affections.
Maybe I wouldn't have fallen so hard for him if he hadn't been such a gentleman in front of me. It hurt so much to see him practically fight to impress her.
Oh Four Giants, what do I do? Is my life always going to be like this?
