Sir Cacao Point of View

If there is something colder than Antarctic ice, then it should be my whole body now.

I literally and practically froze and my whole body was oozing out cold fog from inside. This is not even the worst case because what was worse was that in my heart there is a war going on between heat from the summer desert and cold from the Antarctic core.

Cold because Drizzle turned out to be not a flower but a thorn. Drizzle was a man! That too my girlfriend's brother, my cousin's fiancée.

And hot because there is a slight relief in my heart when she turned out to be a he actually. Now there will not be any wall between me and Anete.

However, Zorion has always been very indifferent to me but it turned out in his heart, I'm so precious and important.

"Why didn't you tell me?" In a gentle tone, I asked him. I slowly walked to the gob-smacked Drizzzle – nay, Grizzle is more likely suitable to him.

With starry gaze, I looked into his eyes and waited to hear his explanation. When I did not hear anything from him but instead he chose to stay silent and look at me like his body lost its soul, I sighed and held him by his shoulder.

"Say, why did you hide your identity from me? You even chose to deceive me by giving yourself such cute pen name. You mentioned yourself as a female in your letters; is it just so you could get my attention? Are you that big fan of mine? Do you like me that much?" Even though I composed myself from the shock, the shock did not leave me yet.

Zorion Nigel Allard is Choco Drizzle! If 'unexpected' has an archaic ancestor, then that was what this situation is.

My gentle flower like honey like pen friend turned out to be a Grizzly werewolf like burly man that was going to enter Almond family as son in law in future.

"What are you doing here?" It was Anete who broke out of silence first and asked me with a deep frown.

"Ah, the event was postponed in the last minute due to some technical issues so I chose to come back immediately. After all I have a job to make you happy." I grinned at her but suddenly when a sudden thought came into my mind, a helpless sigh left my mouth.

I turned to my fourteenth cousin, Tiny, and gave her an apologetic smile. "Fourteenth, I did not expect everything to turn out like this. But I assure you that in Zorion's heart, I'm only an idol he looks up to. I'm person he admires and takes inspiration from. I'm only a person who is a little more handsome than him that makes him respect me more. In other words, I like a God in his heart, both worshipable yet unattainable." I tried to calm my cousin's turbulent heart and hugged her to pacify her.

My little cousin; she is one of the apples of Almond's eyes, now that she is experiencing this kind of predicament, I couldn't help but feel sorry and guilty for her.

Who asked me to be omnipotent!

"Cacao, what are you talking? Of course I'm happy." Suddenly, Tiny got out of the hug and gave me a bright but a little pained smile.

"What?"

"I'm happy my Human Sculpture actually has you in his heart. I would be jealous if it was someone else but you are different. Is there a person who cannot help but like you, worship you? It's just that he used his reverence towards you in such a way." I feel like I came between a loving couple.

"No, you deserve an apology from me. If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for his respect and reverence for me, he wouldn't go as far as to plot something like that just to monopolize me." Although Zorion used mean and cruel methods, I still understand.

I understand his adoration for me.

I understand the feeling of keeping me for oneself!

"Will you both please shut up?" Zorion Drizzle punched the sofa settee beside him and shouted.

When we turned towards him was when I clearly saw how bruised he was and how disheveled he looked. Anete, on the other hand, has just stood there looking as speechless Princess Jasmine could be.

From the moment I came, she did not speak anything, only looked around listlessly. If it was just Anete, I could understand but for many reasons, everyone present in the living room looks so listless and speechless.

Why is everyone like this?

Did something happen?

I only happen to listen how Zorion tried to monopolize me by using a fake Drizzle girl which made Anete sad. The revelation of the real Drizzle another bomb to everyone, including me, I agree but what happened before I came?

"I cannot believe that the ruthless, indifferent and aloof soon-to-be cousin in law is actually a cute little girl in heart." Peach gasped and looked at Zorion with sparkly eyes.

"You learnt again not to judge a book by its title."Bart provided, patting Peach's shoulder.

Zorion glared at them enough to scorch them live but then just shrugged it off nonchalantly. Before I or Zorion or Anete or Tiny could say anything, the family members who were frozen in surprise and shock suddenly started to be loud.

"OMG, Zorion is Choco Drizzle. What will happen to Tiny and Anete now?" Theia, the drama queen of the family exclaimed loudly.

"I know right, it's like both Anete and Tiny have to share their love with their respective brothers." Crispin followed up.

"But the situation with the four is little weird." Aunt Owl commented.

"Who would've thought that the high and might man we always know was actually Cacao's follower to this extent?"

"But it's not strange because Cacao has always been the center of attraction everywhere he went. What was weird was that Zorion hide himself too well all these years."

"I want to know why he pretended to be a woman in his letters. Cacao never differentiated his fans by gender or social status."

"Do you even have to ask, Aunt Love, of course he wanted to make sure his letters were answered."

"Hey, do you think Zorion approached our Tiny to actually get close to Cacao?" From the variety of discussions, I couldn't even tell who raised this question but when it was said out, everything went silent again.

If an atom of flour was to drop on the floor, it could make loud sound by how deafeningly quite it suddenly got.

Okay, I think I need to clarify everything. After all, I am one of the guilty parties even though I'm not directly linked to the crime.

"Stop making things hard for little Drizzle. He met and loved Tiny far before he met me. Tiny loves him with her whole heart, lungs and kidneys. Little Grizzle loves Tiny with his soul. There is no need to doubt their relationship." I patted my cousin and took her hand.

I also held Zorion's hand and placed my cousin's hand in his. "My cousin now belongs to you. You should take care of her and love her more than anything in this world. Your reverence for me, convert it and shower it on my cousin." I said as surge of emotions flooded inside me.

With a shaky breath, I looked at my happy cousin and lifeless Grizzly Drizzle, "I know your respect admiration for and I acknowledge it but I, today, cut the ties of my pen-friendship with you. From here forth you are only my cousin in law and I am only your brother in law. Please –" I tried to squeeze out the words that got stuck inside my throat.

I know and feel how hard it might be for Zorion right now. With how corpse-like and lifeless he is looking, it is clear that he is having a breakdown inside.

Who will not? For you to have cut off by your idol, who wouldn't feel broken?

But for the sake of Tiny; for the sake of Anete, I have to do this.

I already got my lesson for not being straightforward in my rejection the last time a girl posed as Drizzle. Anete was sad for being too gentlemanly and polite for not cutting out the root of troubles then and there.

I learnt my lesson now and shall do what I need to.

"Please forget me and stop worshipping me in your heart. Please." Once I was done breaking off my friendship with Zorion, I turned to Tiny and gave her a side hug.

"He is all yours now. You should make sure to fill all the potholes left by me with you." Tiny looked at me with watery moist eyes and nodded at me happily.

"It is indeed our Cacao who is most thoughtful." Theia comment came timely which caused the storm to settle down. While others were now relieved, the Allard siblings still look pale and soulless.

Is Anete sad by her brother's actions?

Of course, how can she not be? The person she trusted the most did not just betray her once but twice. Not only did he caused a rift in his sister's relationship but he also turned out to be Choco Drizzle who caused a sour spot in her heart.

Obviously she is disturbed.

My poor Anete!

But I already prepared well for this. This unexpected situation only encouraged me to go ahead with my plan.

So without further ado, I rolled my tongue and whistled loudly. Followed by it, I clapped thunderously for three times and when I felt my phone pinged with a message, I got down on one knee.

In front of Anete...

On a knee, I held the hand of the perplexed woman and grabbed her attention.

"Anete Allard, you are like a cancer to me that I don't want to cure. You are –"
