Winner Takes All

Katherine returned home. Soaked from head to toes, she was so freaked.

As soon as she entered the house, her parents and her younger brother Tommy all stood up.

“You finally come back.” Elissa growled, “Why did you get pissed off? We just arranged a blind date for you.”

Katherine jerked slightly while staring at Elissa with shock, “Mum, do you know what happened?”

“I know. Tommy told me about that.”

Elissa pointed at Tommy, but her next words finally made Katherine cried, “What if you’re being touched? It’s a blind date after all. You would have done us a great favor if you didn’t end up like this tonight. If your blind date was a success, Tommy wouldn’t have to worry about his bride price anymore.”

“Mum, what did you take me as?” Katherine howled with tears in her eyes.

Kieran’s face had darkened as he glared at Elissa, “What nonsense are you spouting in front of our children?”

“She’s my daughter. Why can’t I criticize her?” Elissa got sarcastic as she placed her hands on her waist, “Since she has ruined her blind date, what should we do about Tommy’s bride price? Can’t I criticize her since she couldn’t even help her young brother?"

Frustrated, she was going to explain clearly to them what had happened.

“Katherine, do you help me or not?”

Tommy suddenly cried out loud, “I am your biological younger brother after all. If you don’t help me, I won’t be able to marry Shirley. My life will be meaningless. I would rather die!”

“If Tommy is dead, we don’t wanna live anymore!” Elissa chipped in while breaking out into a wail of her own.

In an instant, the whole family was in a disaster.

As younger brother and mother were threatening to kill themselves, Katherine could only plopped down to the floor and cried out loud as she tugged her hair.

“Katherine, let me advice you. Since your mother and younger brother is in such a poor state, as a sister, you should endure somehow.” Kieran began solemnly, “Although your blind date partner Ben is not your type, you shouldn’t have run away after he has just touched you a little, am I right?”
