I’m Dedicated To You

GEORGINA’S POV

It was already the day that Olivia would be laid down and we are currently at the burial site. Bradley got her a very nice space with a tree and I know Olivia would love that too.

A lot of people were there trying to pay their last respect to Olivia but I was too occupied to notice them. I also wondered how so many came even though it was raining cats and rats that I was even scared of the place getting flooded.

I looked at the tomb that already had Olivia’s bane hitched on it and my eyes immediately welled up in tears.

How could I witness this day? We promised each other to live long and grow toothless so what happened to that promise?

I wanted to vent my anger at Olivia and asked her what went wrong but I knew that would be futile. She was gone already so I just hoped that she would find peace in the hereafter.

After I remembered what we all went through I knew that Olivia deserved all the peace she could get but I do not want it to be this way.

“Babe, are you okay?” I heard Bradley’s voice and I just nodded my head not taking a step away from the tomb. I noticed some people had left seeing that the rain was not stopping and they might be scared if it rained on.

I turned to look at Bradley that was staying by my side and I noticed that he was also drenched and it was because he was the one holding the umbrella all this while and my heart aches.

He was just too good, I do not deserve him, I thought and I tear my eyes away from him.

“You are going to catch a cold if you don’t get out of the rain and if you do that you would not be able to get the surgery,” Bradley said with worry laced in his voice and I smiled with the realization.

Yes, I am going to get an operation tomorrow but he does not know the whole truth because I have fooled him.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

I am going to get operated on but not in the hospital but somewhere else. Somewhere he would not find me.

I was finally letting go of the man.

“Yes, I know…,” I was saying but the beeping sound from a phone stopped me and I noticed it was Bradley’s phone and immediately he checked it his expression turned gloomy.

“Babe, I really need to be somewhere…,” Bradley was saying but I cut him off. “No, it’s fine you can go,” I said slowly, taking the umbrella from him and he kissed my forehead with his lips that had turned cold due to the rain.

“Take care of yourself, okay?” he says and I noticed he doesn’t want to go but I urged him to. “Go I would be fine,” I assured and he nods before leaving in the rain but I suddenly remembered something.

“Bradley, you would be back this night…. right?” I asked and he nodded his head smiling at me in the rain and the sight soothes my heart and I waved for him to go.

After I saw Bradley leaving I turned around to Olivia’s tomb and Victoria came to join me.

“Your Aunt says everything is ready and you can leave by…midnight,” Victoria says and her voice was croaky the fact that she had cried herself into a stupor. “But did you think running away was the best option? I mean I’m very sure that you are not a burden to Bradley but a source of strength,” Victoria says but I just nod my head.

I do not want to get convinced anymore because I have the best insight into our marriage very well. It was a marriage of convenience that I munched off my husband but not anymore.

“I am not running away, Tori, I am making things right. Bradley was never in my league but I hang up on him anyways but it’s now time to let go,” I say lowly hugging my body to myself when the cold hit me hard. The weather is really nerve-racking. “But ate you going to be fine?” Victoria asked looking at me.

“I would be fine, Tori,” I assured taking her cold hands in mine. We both stared at Olivia’s tomb and my eyes welled up in tears remembering our memories.

“I am sorry, Olivia, that I would not be coming to spend time with you but I really need to leave….. no, leave is not the word I am running away,” I say and a tear drops from my eyes. It was just too hurtful.

“She is going to feel proud seeing us crying because of her,” Victoria says trying to lighten up the mood but I knew she was just putting up an act.

“Thanks for all you do, Ollie, even though it might be hard and I might not be able to fight but I would make sure I do not forget you even though it is going to come as a fragrant sometimes I am going to make sure I keep the memories of us intact,” I say and a tear escapes my eyes while saying that.

I never knew a day would come in my life that I would say a ton of words to Olivia and she would not curse or lash back at me. I never knew I would get to stand to look at my friend’s tomb.

“Don’t be too sad, Gina, I am sure Ollie would not want that,” Victoria consoled me from behind and I shook my head.

“Yeah, I am sure she would not want it,” I say, taking a long look at her casket before I moved away from there and the funeral parlor workers came to tell us that we should get under a shed because the raining wave was getting too strong.

I turned around to leave and my hands balled into a fist knowing that it would be a long time before I visited again.

A really long time…
