KIENZO
“And that’s our love story end, love.” Kienzo wiped his tears.
Happy days that I am happy with you
“Happy 7th death anniversary, Claire.” Kiki bitterly smile looking at the name at his wife written on the grave.
Your never ending care and jolly that I never get tired off.
He caress her tombstone.
Our memories was full of happiness
“I’m sorry if I didn’t get your justice. Our children are now seven years old and yet I haven’t gave you justice. I hold of case and won them… why yours, I can’t give your justice?” Kienzo’s voice broke.
Why this time happened?
I heard that you are gone now.
“I really miss you… I miss you so much… I miss you naughtiness. Our childreen misses you too.. You never saw them grown.”
Kienzo doesn’t stops his tears.
“Until now, I still don’t know who made you into a car crash. I hope I send you off.” His voice was full of regrets.
The taxi she rode was fast to drive and the driver intention bumped the taxi.
Everything was a plan.
He doesn’t have a suspect who will did to his wife.
He can’t sue the taxi driver because he died together with his wife. The car crashed and his wife’s body burned.
“Claire,you told me that you never leave because you love me.” His heart broke.
You said that you won’t be me alone?
Why are you suddenly there. In the afterlife?
“ I still remember your last words, ‘Bye, babies. Babye my hubby!’ If I have idea that was your last words I must record it and still hear your voice.” He chuckled while crying.
He swallowed to speak clear.
“Claire, babe, wife, please come back. You told me that eve universe broke us apart the lord will let us meet again. I waited, I’m waiting again… I’m still hoping that you are still alive, that you come and we will meet,” Kienzo wipe his face because his eyes are getting blurry because of his tears, “I had been waiting you for almost ten years.” He look at clouds.
He won’t get tired waiting for his wife.
“Claire, wife…come back to me, I will resign as a lawyer because you are my priority and most important in my life.”
A one cold air hug me.
This is like a sign that you are saying a goodbye
“Did you know that I am having a towards to you because you left me again out of sudden. I am okay watching you from afar, but why? Why did you leave me totally?” Kienzo sobs.
“I hate you and you should appease me like what you are always doing before.” He hardly spoke.
“It gave me a second chance to be with you but why it only in a short period of time? That’s not enough… he get you so early.”
“Are you happy in afterlife? Are you happy that you are with manong Rodger, Bolat and our baby? That we wasn’t able to see? Claire do I deserve this?... I lose a lot of important people in my life and it includes you. You told me that you won’t leave me, where are you now? C’mon stops for making me wait.”
Kienzo wiped his tears.
“Maybe, in another life we will be each other arms again… and I will for you again and again and again… love, I am going, okay? I will visit you next time. I love you and guide us.”
He look at the tombstone for long before he stand up. Every steps he makes his heart is getting heavy.
Until it is still pains him, it’s like it was happened yesterday.
“OMO that was sad story.” One of his students commented.
“Sir, you should applied for a teacher as early so you didn’t lose your wife. Who wouldn’t thought that your wife might still alive until now.” One of his students said.
His students force him to tell to them his loves story and they asked why they are not seeing him with his wife together with their children.
I wipe his tears in secret.
He had visited from his wife's grave because of her 7th death anniversary. He went to see Claire first before he entered the school.
He was going to married her in church but he married her without breathing anymore, he still married her in her funeral.
Their first marriage was in a beach, and the second one was in his condo. The third was about in the church but ended in a funeral.
He chose to be a law teacher instead pursuing to become a prosecutor.
“I guess, it’s your wife’s sister who did it.” One of his students says his opinion.
Sabi nu’ng isa.
“I guess, it was the Governor that sir Kien rejected.”
Kiki smiled at his students own conclusion. They had been fighting who was behind of it.
“That was so painful. You are a lawyer yet you can’t give your wife a justice that she deserve.”
“Ouch! Suffering, pain, , sorrow, disgust.” The others reacted.
“You made me tell a story again. Tomorrow we will going to have a recitation regarding today’s discussion.” Kiki informed them.
“Regarding To your love story sir?” they joke on him.
“Mr. Macabigtag you will be the one who is going to recite tomorrow.” Kiki said strictly.
“Sir!” He complain.
He dismissed the class
“Uncle daddy!” He look at the kid entered his class room.
“Ay Kassandra Worcestershire Gschlachtenbretzingen Velasco is here.” One of his student commented.
“Class dismiss.” Kiki finally said and he carry Gschlachtenbretzingen outside the room.
“Where’s Schuyler and Kyla?” He asked his niece.
“Kyla is bad, she is fighting with me.” She complain on him.
“Kyla, slaps me I am going to tell this to my dad!” Worcestershire Gschlachtenbretzingen.
“Why Kyla slaps you?” Kiki asked her and put her down, she’s getting heavier.
“Eh, uncle dad because she was my iphone and she told me that was a dity. Then I talked with her.” She frowned.
“Daddy!” Kyla called him while running to him.
“Hello daddy!” Kyla greeted him happily.
“Dad.” Schuyler kiss him in his cheeks.
“Then slaps me. I am going to tell you t my dad! Bleh!” Worcestershire said to Kyla.
“Cianna Kyla, I don’t like what you did.” Kiki said serious to his daughter.
“Daddy! Let’s go to uncle Enzo! Hihi!I will report with Worcestershire” Kyla naughty answered him and pulled him in the parking lot.
He could do nothing but go to Kenzo at the law firm. Memories bring back.
They just got to the law firm quickly.
“Daddy!” Worcestershire called his dad when they reached his office.
“Uncle dad!” He heard Kyle.
“Dad, CK was noisy.” Schuyler frowned he was not used to noisy.
Kienzo chuckled and mess Schuyler’s hair.
“It seems she got your mommy attitude .” Kienzo whispered.
“Daddy,"My iphone that my mom gave me was broken by Cia." Worcestershire complained to its daddy.
“I ddn’t break it! You must thank me that I clean it for you!” Cia answered her.
“You break it, it won’t break if you didn’t drowned it in the water” Worcestershire answered calmly.
“Do you want me to water you so you will shut your mouth?!” Cia widened her eyes at her.
Enzo left the kids. He can’t do anything at Ck because she likes teasing her cousin. A mix of Kyle’s attitude and Claire.
“You have a long name!” Cia complaint.
Enzo approach his twin who is in the small living room of his office, he was standing at the sliding window while looking at the air.
“It’s her 7th death anniversary, had you visited her?” Enzo asked him.
While the kids are continue to argues.
Kienzo nods at him.
“Maybe in another life we can continue our love story without a cut.” Kiki said and sadly look at the clouds.
Enzo taps his shoulders.
“I will give her justice. The Velasco firm will give her justice” Enzo assured him.
They are having hard time to gather evidences because that was plan well. Who planado ang ginawa sa kanyang asawa. Who is the stupid driver who will crash the car and drive fast.
Kienzo sighed, “maybe we should stop… we don’t have evidences and maybe it is destined to happened in that way.”
“Are you sure?” Enzo asked him.
Kienzo nods. “We’re just making it complicated. It’s accident.”
Enzo didn’t commented.
“Ciaaaa!”
Enzo look at his daughter when she shouted.
“Cartulary stop shouting.”
“Cartulary means a collection of charters or records, esp relating to the title to an estate or monastery. You named her Kassandra Worcestershire Gschlachtenbretzingen but you never called her to her name.” Enzo commented.
“Chandria doesn’t want the Cartulary.”
Kienzo chuckled, “why your daughter have a long name?.”
Enzo face become sour, “Chandria mood swing traumatized me.” Enzo jokes, “I made her name long, she might be the first and last.” He doesn’t want to call her Kassandra.
Kiki shook his head because of the reason of his twin.
It was long and hard to spell and pronounce. Her daughter CK keeps on complaining to him that Kass name was long and hard to pronounce.
They continued to talk about stuff.
It’s been seven years at ang daming nangyari.
Enzo is happily married to Chandria. Keran is married too, with three children, they are not with him because he is living in the other country, he decided to settle there.
He misses Kyle. if he still alive maybe he is already married too.
Maybe, if Claire is still alive they are happy.
Claire, wait me there, we will continue our happy ever after story. You may not see our children grow but they grew as a beautiful kiddo. Cia got your attitude while Sky got your eyes.
Claire, in this life, I am still waiting for you. I am hoping that you will come back and our path will cross again.
Wife, I miss you. I miss you so much. I want to be with you there but our twin’s need me and they are still kids. Our twins are asking about you, they wanna see you. I’m sorry if I can’t you justice. Sorry if until now I still could not give justice to your death. I’m sorry for being weak.
Claire, may our love story ended so fast but I want you to know that my love for you is unending. Until our path cross again. See you in another life. Wait me there, we will never be apart again.
