"Didn't you say, brother, that you will always support me? Then why are you backing now at this critical juncture of my life? Im going to marry tomorrow, brother. Mother and father are not here but you are. Can't you try to understand me and support me in this decision?" Silja asked with tears in her eyes.
Seeing the tears rolling from her eyes Benjamin clenched his fists.
He has never let his sister cry before but now she was crying in front of him and he can't do anything.
"I can and I want to. But what can I do when I'm seeing you heading towards your destruction. This relationship will only give you suffering, Silja. There are many things that you are unaware of, when you will found that out you will understand that I was right," Benjamin said between his gritted teeth.
He turned around and held Silja by her shoulder.
"I will always have your best interest in mind," he said with utmost sincerity, and Silja does not doubt that.
