Chapter 73 The Kept Diary
"Mama..." She got stunned when her mother-in-law visited her in her father's house.
It was around afternoon when she came and seeing the old woman made her wanna cry. She brought some fruits and some stuff for the baby.
"I came here because I missed you, child." She was touched by that words. She had missed the old woman so much too.
"Your tummy was a whole lot bigger now." The old woman commented when her eyes went to her baby bump.
"My due date was coming, Mama." She replied.
"Yes I know, my son told me so." She never missed the sad look in her eyes as she stare at her.
"If Thyago sends you here to talk to me Mama, my decision is still final. I'm sorry for disappointing you. I can no longer take your advice. I don't think I was strong enough to fight our marriage when I know I will be alone with this battle. I'm so sorry but I will fail you this time, Mama." She said sadly. She could feel her eyes now on the brink of crying.
"My son didn't know I came to you, Bea. This is my own decision. I just wanna see my daughter-in-law and to look after my grandchild too." The old woman replied.
"I'm sorry I disappointed you for giving up so easily. I can no longer take the pain, Mama. Thyago doesn't love me so there's no means of fighting for." Her tears immediately fell from her face after stating the last phrase.
"What made you think that way, child? Do you know what's happening through him after you left?" Her eyes flew to the old woman and gave her a questioning look.
"He no longer works and goes to the office, Bea. Your Dad and I are starting to get worried. He usually locks himself in the room and cry. Yes, Bea, your husband is crying. And then during nights, he's spending his time in different bars trying to get wasted and goes home drunk and intoxicated shouting your name. He got so devastated and so miserable when you left. He wouldn't act that way if he didn't love you so much, child." She was surprised by what her mother-in-law has stated about Thyago.
Why would he get himself drunk and devastated? He was supposed to be celebrating with Elena because he was finally free. She had set him free already...
"Didn't I tell you that you're the only woman he loves deeply? One more reason I came here. I want to give this to you."
She got stunned when the old woman suddenly handed her a familiar notebook that she was starting to recognize. To her surprise, it was the diary she owned way back in her high school days. The diary where she chronicled all her feelings to Thyago way back in her teenage days, the diary where it all began...
"Don't get me wrong but I got curious so I check it. I remember I once saw him smiling while reading that same notebook way back in his college days if I was not mistaken. I wonder what's in that notebook because he kept that until now. He had been keeping that for a long time maybe because it was so important to him. I'm sorry child but I got curious and read it. That's the diary Elena has been talking about and that's yours right?" Stunned and a bit embarrassed, she just looked at her mother-in-law and don't know what to say.
"I realized this a memory of you because he keeps tailing your name in his sleep. I've seen him holding this last night and I thought I should show this to you. I don't know but I had this feeling this simple notebook could have the capacity to bring the two of you together again. One thing I knew my son loves you so much so please never doubt it, Bea." The old woman added.
"I remember you once told me you're having qualms if Thyago really loves you. You see, he had been keeping that for a long time and that shows how much you are important to him, Bea. He loves you so much child, perhaps been loving you for a long time so please never give up on your marriage." The old woman told her.
It was kinda surprising that after so many years, Thyago had been keeping her diary. All along she thought he had dispatched her diary or threw it on trash. She just can't seem to believe that he kept and treasure it for a long time.
Why did he kept her diary? What does this mean? What's his story behind it? She wanna know why did he kept her diary until now? She wanna hear Thyago's part.
Even after the old woman left, her mind seemed confused. She was asking for reasons, reasons, and answers that she needed from Thyago. A lot of things running in her mind and only Thyago could answer them. She needs an explanation.
As she was holding her diary, she did not help herself to open it and read the first page.
Dear Thyago's Notes:
Today is the first time I decided to make a journal about my feelings at your Master. The reason is simply because I have a huge crush on him or maybe more than that. Actually, the very first time I saw him, he definitely caught my attention and made some havoc in my being. What can I do? I was caught in that hatty face...
Well, he's not just a handsome face, he's also smart and very friendly. He's very down to earth and the moment you'll lay an eye on him, it feels like you'll crave to look at him more and more. He had this capability to make my heart beat so fast like a runaway train and yet I love the feeling of it. I didn't like him just because he was the only son of the good Mayor in this town and not because he came from a good and rich family, the truth is I liked him because he was humble, kind, and compassionate to others. That beyond his attractive look is a generous and liable person with a good and big heart. He is simply like an angel sent from above that made to be adored and cherished. Well, it was an honor for me to do so...
Yeah right, I may be too young and I can't even call myself as a teenager. Maybe I can't be considered as a big girl yet for now but I knew my feelings well. This is real and this was something more deeper than their so-called crush. Whatever it is, I'm more than willing to search for an answer.
Miss Pretty
Seeing the first page of her diary made her cry. That was the time she started to write a diary about her feelings for Thyago. That was the time she started to foolishly fall for him. When she looked closely at the page, something suddenly took her attention when she saw a little note written below her notes. When she checked it, it was like a note so she read it.
Dearest Miss Pretty:
I have a confession to make. The very first time I saw that cute little girl named Bea, I know something strange tugged in my chest deep inside and maybe I'm not aware of it. She was so adorable, cute, shy, and smart.
She never failed to amaze me and made me smile every time I have this encounter with her. She was full of life and so fun to be with. Little did I know, I was not aware I'm having a crush on her too but she was so young and out of my league so I have to get rid of that pesky feeling towards her at that time.
The Master
Her whole system got shaken by the note written below on that page. What was that note about? Did Thyago make a reply of it? There was a date written down on it and the date shows it has been 8 years ago...
What the hell!
