In a motionless ambience, Czeya and Zues live. Their mothers are first cousins, and that makes them second cousins. As they reached the transitional period of development between childhood and maturity, they felt a strange energy in their hearts every time their gazes meet. Czeya thought it was only her feeling that way, until Zues confessed and ruined the peace of their cousinhoon. He spoke how his tummy filled with butterflies everytime Czeya unleashes her sweet smile. Czeya, as well, had the courage to admit her feelings too.
They then became a couple.
They became lovers, in secrecy. They both know that their parents would not agree with their almost-unable-to-believe relationship, so, for the sake of their love, they kept it a secret.
Galaxie, on the other hand, is a close friend of Zues and she was introduced to his parents as his girlfriend!
"Babe, Daddy thinks I'm a gay for until now I don't have a girlfriend. I haven't brought a girl home, ever since! You know I can't tell them what we are. That is why, I made an agreement with Galaxie. She knew it will be just purely pretending and nothing serious... If I'm not going to do this, if I will not let them know that I am in a relationship, they might find a girlfriend for me... I don't want that, babe." Zues explained to his girlfriend.
Czeya crossed her arms and said, "Make sure that it will be just purely pretending." she emphasized the word 'purely' then flipped her hair.
Months passed, their secret relationship continued and Galaxie, as well, continued to pretend to be Zues' girlfriend in front of his family. It pains Czeya everytime she sees them being sweet in front of her. It was as if she was stabbed in the heart every time they had to pretend.
If only she could uncousin Zues, she might have done it. So they won't have to hide anymore.
One day Zues got so sick. Czeya became so worried and urged herself to pay a visit.
"Uhm, aunt Loisa. I'm just going to visit Zues, I heard he's sick." she said to Zues' mom.
Her aunt Loisa nodded and smiled, "I am glad that you two are getting closer," she said, "Zues is in his room, and oh... by the way, his girlfriend is there... taking care of him." she added and left.
Czeya was shocked causing her to gasped deeply and immediately felt annoyed and jealous. Why is that woman taking care of her boyfriend?! It's hers! She clenched her fist and went to Zues' room only to find out that Galaxie is feeding Zues, while he was so weak, lying down and eyes were tired. What on Earth is happening? Why is she doing that?! That's not necessary for Galaxie to do that thing. It's Czeya's responsibility.
Czeya's blood raced at that moment.
"You can go home now, I will take care of my boyfriend." she raised an eyebrow at Galaxie.
Galaxie placed the plate on the table and looked at Czeya from head to toe. "No, I will take care of my best friend." She said which surprised Czeya.
"Wow! This woman's face is thicker than a webster!" Czeya said to her mind.
"I appreciate your concern, don't worry, I will be taking care of my boyfriend. Would you mind leaving? We need a privacy... and ah... so we can also have a moment for ourselves." she said while holding back her annoyance for Galaxie.
Galaxie's grin immediately sprouted and a thought of annoying Czeya for some inexplicable reason ran onto her mind. And to include, Czeya never treated her well since day 1, so, annoying her would be a great revenge.
"Excuse me? We are in Zues' place, and in this place, I am his girlfriend." Galaxie hid her teasing plan, but deep inside she's already dying laughing.
Czeya took a step back. She could not believe what Galaxie had said! She didn't expect that Galaxie would really-seriously play her role as Zues' girlfriend. How cuckoo! Czeya, at that very moment, wanted to burst out, wanted to drag and tweak Galaxie! but she tried her best to control her anger. This is not the right place to burst out.
"You're the fake girlfriend! I'm his girlfriend!" But she failed to, her annoyance triumphed.
-
Inwardly, Galaxie has a demon who laughs so fvcking hard right now, because why not? She succeeded on annoying Czeya.
"As long as we are here, I will be his girlfriend, I am his girlfriend and you are nothing but a vile cousin." She seemed not yet satisfied with what she said to annoy Czeya.
"Stop it! Czeya! Galaxie!" Zues stole the moment.
Czeya raised an eyebrow in shockness, "Would you tolerate that woman, babe?!" she asked in disgust.
"Would you tolerate her, Zues? Is that how she should treat me? Eh, she must be thankful." Galaxie said, raising an eyebrow.
Czeya gasped, "Why would I?!" she asked while frowning.
Galaxie just rolled her eyes, "I saved the both of you! If it weren't for me, you might have been separated." she once again rolled her eyes.
Zues is now burning because of them, "BOTH OF YOU! GET OUT!" he shouted while gritting his teeth and clenching his fist.
It was his first time to be like that, maybe because he was sick or maybe he was too annoyed. They zipped their mouths and left the room. Czeya could not believe that her boyfriend had sent her away. Galaxie could not believe that her best friend had sent her away.
And when they had their backs on Zues door, they started throwing blames to one another.
"This is because of you! You're too ambitious, knowing that your relationship with Zues is just pretending." Czeya glared at her.
"Don't deprive me of my rights to my bestfriend, and the two of us won't get into trouble." Galaxie flipped her hair and then left.
Czeya knitted her forehead and glared at Galaxie, until the last phase of her presence vanished on Czeya's sight.
"That woman is a virus in our relationship, I have to keep Zues away from her." she said while having herself alone.
