When they were graduated in their fourth year in college they arranged their wedding. Everything was smoothly done as they planned, Penelope was very happy because she will be with the man she loved most.
They are walking went back to Sebastian's house, "Honey, where you wanted to live after our wedding?" he asked
She thought about it for a while, "I wanted to live in the mansion" she answered smiling, she looked down "I know the soul of Sophia is still there, I wanted to build our family with her" she desires for it
He held her hands, "We will live there, I know your Auntie Sabrina will help us" he said
"But how about grandma?" she asked
He smiled at her, "Don't worry about grandma, she will be with us" he answered
"But, how about your house? That's from your parents right?" she asked
He trying to smile, "We will sell it because when we got married no one will use it, because we will live in your place" he said
When they were arrived to Sebastian's house, they prepare for dinner. Penelope noticed that there were something wrong with Sebastian but when she asked him, he just looked and smiled then he will say that everything will be fine. She trust his words because she knew how he loved her. In their preparation for wedding, they also post to the internet that his house is for sale. They did so much preparation and they also transferred immediately to Penelope's mansion. After a month their wedding was held, they celebrated it in the Cruz's mansion because they have a huge space for the visitors. After celebration, Penelope became emotional again;
He hugged her while looking to the picture of her sister, "Are you alright?" he asked
She still looking to it, "Yes, I wish she was also here to celebrate with us" she became saddened again
At that moment, he wanted to asked her if she will choose between him and her sister who will be she choose but because she still ill he decided not to. "Let's take a rest, we will many things to do by tomorrow" he said
Penelope just followed him towards their room and lie next to each other. She can't sleep that night, thinking what she can do for Sebastian and also to end the crazy game. She get off in the bed and walked silently towards to their garden where Sophia and her always playing then she sat down to the swing thinking deeply.
In their room, Sebastian woke up and he felt that Penelope was not there. He was very worried because she still sick, "Penelope, where are you?" he asked then he wear his slippers and walked outside. He looked all the rooms inside the mansion and checked the possible place where she was but he can't see Penelope so he tried to check outside; in the garden and in the playground. He was relieved when he saw her sitting on the swing, "You made me worried" he smiled at her and sat down to the next swing.
She looked at her with a fainted eyes, "I'm sorry if I made you worried" she said then she looked down
He made a force to swing, "I don't know what are you thinking but I told you that when something bothers you, you can talk to me" he reminded her
"I'm sorry, I don't wanted you to bother about this" she said while her tears was dripping from her eyes "I don't wanted to loose anyone, anymore but ..." she started to cry "but we need to end this game with one winner" she said
Sebastian stood up and walked towards her, "What did I said to you before we get married?" he asked
"Don't bother ourselves about this insane game" she answered
He offered his hands to her, "Let's go back?" he asked with a smile "We need to rest for tomorrow" he said
They are walking towards the main door when Penelope suddenly stopped, "Honey, can we sleep here?" she asked
He was surprised to her request, even he didn't wanted to "Yes we can" he answered positively "Just wait for me here, I'll just get our tent" he released her hand and went inside. When he came back, he build the tent and fixed their place to sleep.
At that moment, Sebastian felt the tight embrace of Penelope like it was the last embrace that she can give to him. "Penelope, are you okay? Are you cold?" he asked
She shook her head over his chest, "No, I'm just wanted to be like this over the night" she answered
He kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, everything will be fine just leave it to me" he said while caressing her hair
Penelope sleep soundly on Sebastian's arm, "I will always love you and trust you" she whispered
The next day, Sebastian allowed Penelope to do everything that she wanted to do to ease her anxiety and to be happy. She was like a kid that plays around, they went to theme park one after another, eat ice cream and went to the zoo. She took some photos and printed it by twos, he can see on her face that she was very excited on something.
"Honey, after this you wanted to go to Sophia?" he asked like he wanted to confirm his hunch
She looked at him and smile widely, it looks like he knew what she was thinking "Yes, honey" she answered with ecstasy "Thank you, I don't know how to asked that to you, I wanted to give this photos to her" she keep on looking to the printed pictures
He held her hands, "Let's go, we will late for dinner if we will leave later" he said "For sure, Aunt Sabrina cooked so much food for dinner" he added
Knowing that her request was approved without even asking to him, "Thank you, honey" she said. They rent a taxi to go to the cemetery to visit Sophia's grave and they stayed there for a while.
Penelope was like a kid telling stories to her sister like she was with her. She also bought some snacks to share with a dead person, even Sebastian was very worried about her state but he can't restrain her from that illusion because it makes her happy. He just wait the time until dusk for her to enjoy a precious time with the one who was very important to her.
When it was about the time, he approached her "Can we go home now?" he asked gently
She just looked at him, "Can we stay a little bit more?" she asked then she looked on her side "Is that Sophie?" she said then she nodded
He just more worried about her but he didn't want her to notice it, "It looks like she wanted you to go home?" he said
She was saddened about that, "but Sophia I don't want to leave you now" she answered
He just looked at her.
In a cold breeze where only silence have, Sebastian heard Penelope's sob "Are you okay? Did something hurt you?" he asked worriedly
She can't answer his question because inside her there was a painful truth.
He sat down in front of her, "If you wanted to say anything or wanted to talk on something you can tell it to me" he said sincerely
"I can't choose between you and Sophia, I wanted to bring back to life her but I can't kill you because you know how much I love you" she answered sob after sob "I don't know but I planned to kill myself many times but Dreos didn't allow it even I gave up to this game" she added "I wanted the one to be killed and be with my beloved sister" she keep on holding her sister's grave
He was moved on what she had said, all this time her anxiety was because of him. Even at this time all Penelope wanted was his safety, the bruises and blade wounds on her pulse and arm because of him. At that moment, he can't say anything about it he just looked at her while struggling on what she gonna do to protect her.
He hugged her, "Honey, let's enjoy everything while Dreos didn't gave us warning, I know he understood our feelings right now so that he didn't gave us any reprimands about it" he tried to make her calm "so just calm down and be happy with me" he added
Penelope just looked at him with a teary eyes trying to calm herself because she heard again the voices on her head to kill Sebastian and live with Sophia.
"Can we go home now, Penelope?" he asked with a sweet smile
She smiled at him, "Maybe Aunt Sabrina waiting us" she answered then she stood up and went home with him. She felt the warmth of his hands, his voice has the sweetest words that made her smile and his eyes keep on telling her that everything will be fine. Even there were doubts in her heart that maybe someday she have both person that she loves most; her sister and her husband. There was no question about Sebastian's love for her, the only thing that she worried for was the day that her another personality out and killed her sweet husband. When they went home, they saw Ninth in the living room waiting for them. They were frightened as if they saw a ghost or even a grim reaper;
"Hello Angela, what are you doing here?" Penelope tried to act properly even she felt a blood lust for her
He held her hand, "Long time no see, Angela" he greeted "so how's Dreos?" trying to act normal then they sat down on the couch opposite her
Angela gave them a paper like it was a business letter, "Dreos wanted you to read this" she said
Sebastian thought not to tell it to Penelope but she already know what Angela's talking about, "Angela, can you tell to Dreos to give us until net month?" he was like making a deal to her
Angela can't answer his question because she was not in the place to deal with it, "I will try to ask Dreos about your request, but I will not assure that he will agreed to it" she said
Sabrina approached them, "The dinner was ready" she said
Sebastian just nodded, "Yes Auntie" he answered "Ah, Miss Angela if you don't mind you can join us for dinner?" he offered
"Yes, Miss Angela if you don't mind you can join us for dinner" Sabrina said
She stood up and get her brief case, "Thank you, but I need to go" she smiled "my husband also waited for me for dinner, I am leaving now" she added
"Thank you for your visit Miss Angela" Sebastian said "Please tell Dreos about my request, thank you" he added
Penelope on the other hand, has emotionally and mentally unstable that moment "Should I kill her, Sophie?" she asked while looking to Angela
Sebastian was alarmed that moment, he tried to stop her from her insanity "Penelope, she is a friend of us, she was not our enemy" he tried to calm her "Miss Angela, I'm sorry about this" he apologized "Have a safe trip back to your home" he added
Angela left and traveled worriedly back home about Penelope and her mental problem, and she knew that Sebastian's death will triggered it "I hope you'll be fine Second" she said while looking outside.
Penelope and Sebastian didn't eat their dinner with their Aunt Sabrina that night, he cried a lot because Penelope was irritated and wanted to hurt herself so bad. He can't stand looking at her, so he hugged her and cried on her back "Please, stop" he begged "I love you Penelope, please stop hurting yourself" he added
After a few hours of tantrums, Penelope got back to her sanity and apologized to what she have done earlier. Like a sweet girl, she asked Sebastian to eat dinner with her even it's already late at night. She tried to hide her sadness when she remembered what she have done earlier but she can't do anything about it. "Please don't leave me Sebastian, your arms are the only safest place that I know beside Sophia" she said like she was worried that one day he will abandoned her
He just smiled at her, "I will never leave you, don't worry" he assured
