Chapter 41
My men bowed down and I stormed out of our hide out.
Very worthless staff! I pay them well to do their job but just being careful they still get slapped!
I immediately got in my car and dialed the number with my right hand. I need to tell him what happened so that he can disperse the opponents.
“Hello, boss?”
I cleared my throat. “Destroy the races of those putanginang animals. They were shameless … they really make me angry.” I gritted my teeth because of anger.
“Okay, boss. I’ll call you right away after I dispatch them.”
“Alright. Bye.” I put down my phone and gripped the steering wheel of my car tightly.
My eyes glaze over with anger. was their group really that eager to do that? And was he really an accomplice? Tangina!
They will pay. I make sure of that. They have humiliated my loved ones, I will kill their lives. I will never stop until they suffer. Magkamatayan na …
Rigella’s POV
I sighed as the car we were riding in entered the subdivision where our house was located. I want to give myself a rest just for a while and after that, I will immediately go to the chapel again to take care of my parents “hill.
I wish, I have the courage to control my feelings. It’s as if I’m not hurting like this anymore. I also want my old self back. I’m the one who’s brave, the one who doesn’t try anything.
The biggest lesson that I learned over the years was that anyone can give up because it’s the easiest thing ever. But to hold it together when everyone thinks you’d fall apart was the real strength.
But, in this situation, I don’t think I can apply that lesson anymore. A child was affected by this and he has not yet been born.
Replacing, “What was this happening to me?” with “What was this trying to tell me?” has been a game changer for me and it’s too fragile. My whole being feels destroyed.
And, I finally realized what the situation’s trying to tell me …
When I saw the private playground we owned I smiled bitterly. The place where Ivan and I met was the most beautiful place for me.
“Can you stop the car for a while?” I said smiling as I gazed at the playground gate.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Ivan turned to me for a moment and I could see the confusion on his face. I only felt a sigh and he immediately parked the car at the gate.
I was about to get out of the car when he got out. I assumed he would open me up so I didn’t go down first.
My smile doesn’t fading away and I don’t know why. I don’t know too if this was a real smile or I’m just pretending that I’m happy despite of what happened earlier.
He opened the door for me and helped me down. He closed the car’s door and he still wouldn’t remove his hold on my hand.
“Do you want to go inside?” He frowned at the question in a soft voice.
My smile became wider and I nodded after. “Yes please.”
He puckered his lips and slowly nodded. She doesn’t seem to want to go to the playground because of the expression I see in her. But I was just swallowed up when he pulled my hand away and walked into the playground.
We met when he was guarding the playground so he let us in immediately. I looked around the playground and it looked like a mini park. Still really nice.
I sat on the swing and clasped my two hands. I think, this place will somehow lessen the sadness that I’m feeling. This place makes me smile whenever I go in here.
Ivan immediately followed me and sat on the swing next to me. I took a glance at him and he’s just staring at the ground like he’s thinking a deep thought. I swayed myself and looked at the sky, it’s getting darker and I think it will rain.
Gradually my smile faded and I bowed at the thought. Since I was a child, I always love the rain. Because I believe that there was a rainbow after the rain, and rainbow symbolizes how colorful life was.
I thought, life was just easy and I can always get what I want and be happy. But no, life was full of struggles that I need to face before I achieve the happiness that I want.
“Why do you look upset?”
I was shocked when Ivan suddenly spoke out of nowhere. I turned to him and saw him looking at me worriedly. I guess, this was the start.
“was it too obvious?” I chuckled a bit but immediately my previous expression returned. I’m now smiling sadly.
‘then, why do you looked upset?” He asked.
I turned to her and at the same time the tears I had been holding back. “I’m not upset because you lied to me, I’m upset because I won’t be able to believe you now …”
I saw the shock on his face. “What were you …”
I stood up and wiped away my tears even as they continued to drip. My chest hurts a lot because of the pain. I can not take it anymore. I don’t think I can bear to feel this kind of pain anymore.
“Why didn’t you tell me you got Lara pregnant?” I asked an annoyed question and I could clearly see how shocked he was.
He stood up and grabbed me but I immediately walked away. I felt something dripping on my skin until that sequence. It’s raining.
“I … I can’t just tell it to you, Rigella. You’re still mourning and I don’t want to add more-”
I cut his words. ‘that’s not a reason enough for you to lie to me, Ivan. Hopefully, it was you who told me and it wasn’t Lara who said it. And most of all, you told her to abort the child? What kind of father were you? ! ” My tone rose to the last line I uttered.
It’s funny that I’m crying under the rain. Maybe it’s also good because I won’t notice the tears that keep pouring down because of the heavy rain.
I already reached my limit. The realization that I need to let him go was too painful but … I need to do it. I need to sacrifice.
‘three words, Ivan …” I smiled softly and saw a little hope on his face.
“… Let me go.”
Third Person’s POV
‘three words, Ivan …” Rigella said that gave Ivan a little hope. He thought that she will say the three magical words that he’s been waiting for.
“… Let me go.” She said that made his heart crashed into pieces.
Under the heavy rain, two lonely hearts were crying. One has given up and nothing hurts more there for two people in love.
Some people’s pain, anger and sadness will only end here. Who would have guessed? With all that they had gone through, one had given up. What will happen to their love?
