Chapter 24

CHAPTER 24 Evans mind became blank. He was too hurt to think about what to do. Only one thing came out in his mind. He needs to go home. ~ End of Flashback ~ He forced his father and cousin to go home early. He doesn't come with them in the mansion instead he goes home to his condo. But when he come home in his condo. An envelope contains more pictures was waiting for him. When he open it more pictures of Sirenity and another guy. This is not the man in the first pictures he saw. This was the guy who was with his cousin and Sirenity. What more break his heart was the smile wear in his baby face while she's with that man.She's smiling to other guy and that makes his heart bleed and in pain. Because of that he did the thing he didn't want to. He regrets the monstrous thing he do. He wish he can back the time and correct his mistakes. He gently stroke her long wavy hair. "I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry." He decided to sleep beside her. Just for tonight. He gently lay down beside her and hug her from the back. I miss this …THE sunshine was HIGH when Evan woke up. He sat down when he saw that no one was next to him. Damn! Where's my baby ?! He was in panic but something stopped him. The scent … He thought. Curiosity fill him and go straight to the kitchen. Evan froze when he saw her cooking. Her hair tied up in to a messy bun, wearing a white apron while busy cooking something. W-What are you doing?" stupid dude! Of course she's cooking. Obviously. Something thug his heart when she look at him with coldness. But he's shock on what she say. Is it wrong for me to serve my wife?" Is it wrong for me to serve my wife?" I see how shocked he is when I say that. Why would he be shocked or maybe he was pretending again. Tsk! Sit down and it's close." I said and continue cooking. I could see from my side that he was still not moving and seemed to be stuck in his position. I could feel his gaze too. Annoyed, I turned to him when I turned off the stove. "If you don't act there. Don't eat anymore."I saw his confusion and quickly sat down in front of the plate and cutlery I had prepared. I was just shaken because of his gesture before taking a pouch for what I cooked. I just cooked pork porridge. It was noon when he woke up just in time. Y-You really made this?" he asked stuttering. I don't know why he was stuttering but I kept myself composed and no emotion. "Do not you like?" my cold question. I saw a glint of emotion come to his eyes but gone in a sec. He shook his head and smiled a little. I'm just happy that you'll cook for me." he whispered but I know he heard that from me. I just didn't speak and sat down next to him.We had a quiet lunch with only the rattles of cutlery. We ended up eating with no one speaking that I wanted. Let's talk." I said. He was stunned by the way we both ate and looked at him in amazement.After that. Let's talk in the living room." that's all and I left there. I glanced at him again and saw that he was washing so I went straight to his room. I took the brown envelope inside the cabinet where I also saw it the other day.~ Flashback ~ I was just staring at the ceiling of the room. There was nothing I could do, nor could I move properly because of the bruises and wounds I had sustained. I need to gain my strength first before I plan to escape. That's how I was in position for an hour until I decided to mess around. Maybe someone can help here that I can use for my escape. I first went to the study table. Every paper works is neatly and neatly stacked. Suddenly I missed the entrance. Never mind, if I get out of here early I can go back to school. I followed the bookshelves but only encyclopedias, romantic novels and books about business and medical were there. Until I looked in the closet. When I opened it, the neatly folded clothes appeared. One by one you peeked at me until I could dig into something rough. I slowly pulled you between the clothes to get. Curiosity filled my system because of this envelope. What can it contain? I opened that envelope and that's how shocked and confused I felt at that moment. A marriage certificate … But it is not the simple certificate that shock me. It was mine and Evan's marriage certificate. Certificate of Matrimony of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Horvath. It also has the signature of both of us. I sat on the floor at what I read. No … No … Impossible! How could that possibly happen ?! Then something pop in my mind .. Is it possible? Your thing he signs me. Is that? Because of what I found out now I was even more scared and angry. I was scared for myself. I hate him! He has taken away my femininity as well as my freedom!How about now? How could I be free now that I was tied to him. ~ End of Flashback ~ When I came out, he was still not there so I just sat on the solo type sofa while he waited. Actually, I'm really hurt because of what happening to us. It seems like every event is very fast and I can't go with the flow of what's happening.I want a normal life. Not this. I love him, yes but I'm tired. I don't even know why my heart still beat for him because of everything he did to me. But maybe this thing can help me. I was able to sit up when I saw him enter the living room. Remain cold and expressionless.So what are we going to talk about?" he asked frantically as he leaned back in his seat. Instead of speaking, I placed the envelope on the table in the middle.What's this?" he asked and get the envelope. I see how he's expression change from calm to shock. He probably didn't expect me to know that thing.I just want to know something." my introduction. "Is that what you're signing me for?"Yes." his fist clenched at his answer. Not even an excuse. I laughed and looked at him badly. "You forcibly took away my femininity as well as my freedom." I cried sharply. You're really a monster." I'm not a monster baby." there was sadness in his voice.Yes you are! You're a monster disguising as a good lover." I have a bitter dream. I am driven by my emotions.Please let me-" Stop Evan. I don't need the explanation or anything from you." I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself from those emotions want to burst out on me. That won't help me. I look at him coldly before speaking. "I have an offer to you." "Offer?"Yes. You can't be the only one who can get it."I will accept being your wife in exchange for my coming home." I look at him and see him being serious. You can't be serious." Did he think I was joking with him? Let me see my Mama. Let me go home and study in exchange for tying me to you." it seems hard to say those last words. He remain silent and look at me seriously. As I silently prayed that he would consent to my wishes. If you look at it, I am even more at a loss because I only want to go home and see Mama while she is whole and my life is tied to her. Fine. Give me a week. Show me how to be married and I'll let you see Mama and be with her."Not bad. I can go home to our house.But you're going home to me."I was stunned by what he said. What the ?! That's fucking unfair! I can't! I'll sleep at home and go home!" I protested but he just gave me a smile . My wife Sirenity. You can come home to me if you don't want to and you want to. But if you really don't want to then fine. You're just here in my condo until you're pregnant. I won't show you to them." my fist clenched because of what he said. I can't have children especially and I'm studying. If I don't agree how can I still see Mama? How can I get rid of him if I can't get out of here. Or worst.Fine. Let me study. Don't let me interfere with school and the things I do. Let me be with my family." I see how his smirked wide. So he's seeing this amazing situation huh? I'll give it to you now but I'll assure you I can escape from you. Good decision Baby. Now show me how my beloved wife take care of her husband." Mia's POV It's been a week since my bestfriend disappeared but until now there is still no lead on where to find him. With each passing day I became more and more discouraged. I miss you so much Serena. Show up please. I'm a little late on my way home today. It's also because I helped Aunt and Evan to find Sirenity.I was surprised when I saw Manang our assistant who greeted us and there was concern on his face.Why are you like that Manang? Did something happen?" I wondered. Daughter. Your sister." afraid of what he said. What happened to Sister, manang ?!" I was nervous because of what Manang said but it got worse when I heard something break inside. I didn't let Manang answer and ran inside. Mom and Dad were exposed. Mama tried to stop Papa while my sister was crying and fell to the floor. I quickly approached them. Pa, Ma. What's going on?" I asked confused. Sissy Al's moan grew louder. Your sister. Another man got pregnant!" Dad said angrily as he looked at Sister I was cold because of what Dad said. That seemed like a nightmare to me. Einjel: I guess this is what you're saying break W-What?" I was only upset because of what Dad said. Not because Dad said Sister was pregnant but because it came from another man. I look at my Sister who's now crying. "Is that t-true?" there is a part of me that says don't believe. That my Sister can't do that but there's also the part where I want to know the truth. Sister is that true?" I asked almost pleading. I almost knelt down just to see what Sister would answer. That's how my tears flowed little by little and Sister nodded at me slowly. I'm not crying and hurt because of Sister. I'm crying because of him. He will be hurt. None of my own raised my left hand at the same time as Mama sighed. Mia! Why did you do that ?!" Mama shouted at me after I slapped Sister. Yes. I slapped my Sister. And I don't feel any regret doing that. How could you Sister!" I growled angrily at him. I saw confusion in her eyes. Wondering maybe why I did that. Sister I let go. Because I know he loves you." my introduction. Tears kept coming out of our eyes. When I found out that you are the one he loves, my heart was broken. Because the man I love so much loves my sister. I want to destroy you. I want to separate you two just for us." But Sister kita e. You're my first bestfriend. I love you so I let her go because I know she'll be happy with you. Even if it hurts Sister. I endured." I kneeled in front of her and put my hands in her shoulder. I see how she cry and how regret she is. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." she said. I wanted to be angry with Sister but my sadness and frustration with her prevailed.Who's the father Alliyah?" Dad's tough question. I feel like she's angry but she's holding back because maybe Sister is pregnant. Ate nodded. "I-I don't know." he answered weakly. Dad's sudden departure made me cringe. Throws away the things he sees. I also feel that Mama is disgusted with Sister. I could see it in his eyes also full of tears. As a parent, it hurts to know such a thing because every parent has a dream for their children. "I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry." she repeatedly said. I couldn't stop myself and hugged him which made him even more upset. I'm sorry Sissy. I didn't mean to." she said.I-It's okay Sister. We'll find that man. He needs you accountable. Promise." I will relieve him. She look at me and smile sadly.I will hurt Lyf. I hurt him. I cheated on him." I was even more hurt because of what he said. B-By?" I instantly look at the back when I heard a baritone voice. He was holding a bouquet of white tulips while looking at us. Sister stiffed. I can feel it since I was hugging her. He also probably didn't think that Lyf would come to such a scene.I think you two should talk." Papa entered and immediately went up to the second floor of the house. Mama immediately followed him. Sister stand up but didn't bother to look at Lyf who's now being confused in everything he saw. I moved away from them when Lyf approached the place where Sister and I had been. He hold Sister's jaw to look up at him. He smiled at Sister. I look away in an instant because I felt a sharp thing stab my heart.Let's talk Lyf." Sister said softly. He did not let Lyf speak and immediately turned around and headed for the garden of our house. Lyf immediately followed him and that's what I do too. I know this is a bad thing. Gossiping to others but I can't help it. Masochistic if masochistic but I want to know what the end of it all will be. I stopped just a few meters away from them but I knew I could hear them. They were sitting in a hammock. Sister bent down as she played with her fingers.What is it By? Is this that much important for us to talk about here?" Lyf asked. He put his arms around Sister's waist and placed his chin on Sister's shoulder. Lyf's sweer gesture towards Sister makes my heart ache. Let's take a break." Lyf stiff because of Ate say. He looked at Lyf with pain and remorse while there was a sad smile on his lips.What the hell are you saying By?" confuse and shock was written in his eyes. Sister caressed the other's cheek and stared at him intently. The tears flowed again recently stopped but also immediately returned. "I'm sorry. I broke our promise. I won't be able to fulfill your dream of being together forever." sister said sadly and continued to cry. "What kind of joke is this Alliyah?" the inter locutor's question was intense when he was staring at sister I'm pregnant Lyf. I'm sorry." Sister revealed and cried again. I thought he would get away from Sister. Tell why that happened and leave. But that is not what happened next.It's okay By. I'll take the responsibility. I'll be the father of your unborn child." smiling Lyf said and pull Sister for a kiss. The next thing I knew I was running towards my room. Crying with the tiny pieces of my broken heart. Why so? Why is the world unfair? Why can he forgive ate easily for that mistake and take the whole responsibility and be the father of Sister's child. Ate is really lucky. The man I love just forgive her and take the responsibility just to be with her while I'm hurting because I thought I could. I thought he was going to divorce Sister I thought I had hope. I thought there was a chance we could be and I could feel how much he loved. But because of what I saw. I realize something .. I hoped and loved a man I would never be seen as a woman.
