ANGER, GRIEVANCES AND SORROWFUL FACTS


“WHAT a fck! Will you calm yourself before facing me! You are here in my office not in the market! Now, tell me, Vernon, what’s the matter wrong with you?!” Romnick asked in high pitch tone.

He was so busy with his business papers when his friend suddenly appeared in front of her. It’s not a problem, by the way. Because Vernon is his close friend and investigator. But he was surprised because of his loud voice! That makes him irritated.

“Brother, forgive and punish me later. I will gladly accept it. No matter what it is. But this is serious. Mr Mondragon called personally that you need to travel to Madrid Spain---”

Upon hearing the country where his only brother dwells, he interrupted his friend’s word. He eventually slapped the table as he stood up.

“What happen? Is there’s  something wrong with my twin brother?!” he asked in very loud voice. As if that he is talking with someone  else in the other corner of the building.

“That’s the reason why he called, brother. According to him, his men were in the premises to guard the young lady when Attorney Maricar just came home who they thought that having a court matter in Barcelona---”

Again, Romnick didn’t let him finish on what he is saying. Now that his only family was gone forever, he doesn’t care as well those who were involved with his death.

“Call the airline for me, brother. Let’s talk later about those matter.  Book a ticket for us---No. Just call the pilot and prepare the plane. We will decide what to do next later on. Go now, brother. I need to talk to my secretary as well,” he retorted as if they are in the training ground.

“Okay, brother,” he replied and retreated from his office.

Then...

“Damn it!  This is what I've been telling you, twin brother! What did you even see in that woman that you're so head over heels for her? What now, you're the one who died!”

With the thought that his only family member was dead, he clenched his fist tightly. Up to the present, he still can’t fully understand why he chose to marry his wife when it was her  child the one he loved.

“WHAT NOW!” he shouted without knowing who is on the other line!

Indeed, he answered his phone without knowing who called him.

“SAAVEDRA! WILL you check first your phone before you shout! Remember, I am your informant here in Madrid. Bryce Luther Mondragon!” he shouted back!

Just by the caller’s voice, he must have gone deaf from his shouting.He couldn’t really blame him because he admitted that his answering could be heard even from the other corner.

“Perdóname, Mondragon. Acabo de recibir la noticia de que mi hermano se ha ido.¿Qué hay en esta llamada, hermano?( "Forgive me, Mondragon. I just received the news that my brother was gone. What's on this call, bro?)”

“Oh, that’s suffice, brother. I can understand your feelings right now. Just understand me as well. I have that very bad temper. By the way, cancel all your meetings for now. Hurry up. You are needed here as the nearest kin of the late Attorney Maricar Fuentebella-Saavedra and your brother---”

“Wait, brother. Are you telling me that both of them were dead? But why? Hah! That Vernon’s report are incomplete. Tell me, brother. What’s the exact situation?” he interrupted what his colleague is saying.

“I don’t  how, brother. I haven't had a proper conversation with the nanny of Attorney MM and her daughter, brother. But according to the report of my staff who were there, your sister-in-law arrived earlier than expected. Instead of returning to Madrid today, she arrived early this morning. She caught the two of them having sexual intercourse in Stephanie's very own room. She might have overheard the conversation between the two. Because, based on my staff's report, she mentioned something about the children. So if I were you, just prepare your travel documents to be here on time. For being the nearest kin of the departed, you are being sought by the authorities here in Madrid. Stephanie was under-shocked up to the present.”

Bryce Luther’s long explanation on the other line. It’s better to be honest than to beat around the bush. And one more thing, as the nearest kin of his deceased friend, Romnick has the right to know what really happened.

Upon hearing that, Romnick had even less to say. He remained silent for several minutes. If his friend on the other line hadn’t spoken again, he wouldn’t have come to his senses.

“Sure, brother. I have already prepared the private plane. For now, please take care of everything there because Vernon and I will be arriving later this afternoon,” he replied as he took a deep breath.

“Oh, no problem, brother. Okay, I’ll hang up the call for now, brother. Paolo just called. See you later,” Bryce Luther retorted.

After sometimes...

‘Now that both of you were gone, twin brother and sister-in-law, love each other in the other world,’ he muttered as he started to fix his office. For sure, he will be out of sight for few days.

MADRID SPAIN

“Child, please don’t scare me to death as well. Your Mommy and Daddy Ramil were gone. So, for the sake of that child in your womb, please be strong. Everything has happened already. So just accept it in your heart. Step by step,”  Stephanie’s nanny said worriedly.

But no matter what she say, Stephanie didn’t remained silent and crying silently continously.

“Hija, sooner or later, the authorities will come again to speak with you what had happened. Remember that your mother and step-father are both lawyers and working in Spanish Court. No matter how you will avoid them, they will come back. Because they need your statement as the only daughter of your Mom,” Marielle resorted once again as she caress and stroke Stephanie’s back.

Still, its just the same reaction since the passing of her mother and lover. That is why she hugged her.

“My poor child. You fell in love with someone who was never meant to be yours. That’s why I understand you, my child. Because I had a similar experience. And to distance myself from those who claimed my beloved, I ended up here with you and your mother when she was pregnant with you. Fight your depression, child. Because I will do everything to fill the void that they left. You are my only family now, Stephanie. So please, for the sake of their sacrifices, if you don’t want everything to be in vain, regain your composure for you and your child.”

She will do everything to fill the void left by her loved ones. Just like as she always did when she was a little child up to the present whenever the couple was away.

“It’s okay, child. If crying is your way of coping, that’s okay,” she said again.

But deep inside of her, even though she is just a nanny, they treated her as their own family, and she is crying. Grief is engulfing her soul right at the moment.
