Currently Annie is sitting on her bed, mind whirling with confusion. She never knows that Hans like her...no loves her. What is she suppose to do now? She is so confuse that she never even notice Pepe sighing near her. "Oi. Annie."
"ANNIE!" Pepe shout when his first attempt at getting Annie's attention fails. "Wha- What's wrong Pepe?" Annie asks rubbing her ear. Pepe huff before placing his staff away. He looks at Annie seriously. "I know you are confuse from Hans confession but isn't that the reason why you're pestering him? You are the one who wanted to know his reason."
"I know...but I never expect that Hans...loves me..." Annie says softly looking lost. I never know...oh my GOD! I force him to tell me in front of everyone! I can't imagine how embarrass he must feel now... Pepe is about to knock Annie's head when Annie's face change to horrify realization. Now she remembers how she forces Hans to confess...although that's not entirely her fault. Beaux and Liesse have a hand in it.
"Annie. Before your mind fly to other fact, you need to focus on the important thing. Do you love Hans or not? He needs your answer. Think about it carefully before you make rash decision." Pepe advise her before going to store to watch over it.
Pepe is right. I need to think about this matter carefully...but...I don't even know how I feel about Hans...okay that's a big fat lie. I do know how I feel about him...but is it love? How can I differentiate between like and love? AGH! This is so confusing! Who can I ask about this? Kilbert?Nah...he won't be any help...Gillian?I guess I can ask her...Annie thought standing up.
"Pepe! I'm going out." Annie shout before hurrying to where she knows Gillian is slacking off at. She walks as fast as she can to Gillian's place, ignoring every amused face in her way. They must know about it. I think I know who's selling those records. Annie thought spying some record in people's hand and their love-struck sigh.
"Gillian! I need to ask you a question! Come here FAST!" Annie yells as soon as she sees Gillian. Gillian blinks before stopping her chase. "'Allo Annie. What's the question you want to ask me?" Gillian inquire cheerfully before getting dragged to a quiet street.
"What's the difference between like and love? I figure since you are an adult woman, you should have some kind of experience in this area." Annie asks looking earnestly at Gillian, expecting her to answer her. "Uh...that's...uh...Annie...let's talk about this at different place. Let's go." Gillian looks around her before dragging Annie to her house. "Look here Annie, like and love is different fundamentally. You can't know for sure...is this about Hans confession?"
"Uh...yes...it's just...I'm confused..." Annie mutter looking down at her feet. Gillian's eyes soften before she lift Annie's chin. "'kay. Let's see...why don't you answer this entire question I got for you? It may help you."
"Question 1: What will you feel if Hans is with another girl who's crushing on him?"
"Huh? I..."
"Question 2: What if Hans die?"
"Wait! What? Hans isn't dead!" Annie nearly shouts looking pained at the thought of Hans dying. Gillian looks at Annie before smiling at her. "Of course not. This is just of question Annie. I think you need to think these two question alone Annie. This is just to help you sort your feeling after all. Let me know if you need me okay?"
Annie nods looking shell-shock at the questions, even if it's just two questions, thrown at her. She numbly wave good bye to Gillian before letting her feet take her away to the workshop.
