I’m Just His Wife

I was immediately nailed. “No. I’m sure I’m here.” I cast a spell before speaking again. “Maybe because … Maybe because the longer I take it, the more I can’t handle it. I have to ask him, Ren. I won’t be at peace until he answers my questions.”

“You sure? You don’t have to force yourself. You can go here some other day if you really don’t want to go here …” Laren tilted her head and watched those people who’s now entering the police station.

I shook again and folded my hands. “I’m sure, Laren. Besides, this was the right time for me to talk to him. It’s been months, you know …”

He took a deep breath. “Oh, he’s fine, let’s go inside. Just, we’ll back off when you really can’t. Your pregnancy was in a dangerous state. You need to prevent stress.” Ren stroked my shoulder with his palm.

I just sparingly smiled and nodded. He smiled softly at me and helped me walk.

We entered the station and immediately asked a policeman if we could speak to Seymour. He was still at a police station because his trial was not over in court. Actually, he wasn’t the only one who did bad things to me. We’re many. So his cases were stacked.

When the police agreed he took us to the visiting area. I was a little surprised because I saw Darlyn and … Seymour talking there. Darlyn was crying while Seymour was smiling sadly as she wiped away her brother’s tears.

Unexpectedly a bead of tears dripped from my eye. I grabbed Laren’s arm and averted my gaze from them. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I saw him again. I saw again the Seymour I had met. For a long time it was as if he had returned to his former self.

I took a deep breath and tried to hold back the crying but I couldn’t. They still dripped no matter what I stopped. Laren, on the other hand, rubbed my back and whispered things to me but I didn’t understand. I don’t understand anything now.

Why so? I thought I was feeling really angry for him but … he’s still here. My love for her was still in my heart. My love for him as his best friend.

I remember the promises he made to me when we were in high school. That he would hurt himself if he hurt and made me cry. That he would not let go when someone hurt me. And most of all he promised me he wouldn’t let me get hurt …

“were you crying?”

“Obviously. What were you doing here, you cookie monster?”

“From what I heard you did to you when you were a girl classmate. I was worried you might cry. And I’m right in my suspicion, you’re crying. You’re really crying, cupcake.”

“What were you! You’re probably the reason why they fought me. I’m feeling so close to you and I’m not a beauty. Imagine that, Seymour? I was a beauty pageant winner when we were in our first year! Then … They’ll say I’m not beauty? That’s … That’s a total absurd! ”

“were you affected right away? Langya, cupcake. You know in yourself that you’re beautiful and you’re still crying there. Let me, I’ll rebuke those classmates of yours. They can taste me.”

“Hey, don’t! Those were still women!”

“But cupcakes, they hurt you. That’s how you feel. You know that your parents don’t make you mosquitoes and then they just bite you? Hah! They killed me!”

“Say no. I’m okay, Seymour. Promise, I won’t really cry when they fight me again. I’ll call you right away when someone fights me. Just, just don’t do it now. You’re graduating, oh. Running You’re still a valedictorian. Maybe later something else will happen to your grades. ”

“Okay. All right, if that’s what you want.”

“Hayst, thank you-”

“But on one condition.”

“For me, it looks like I can’t stand that. That’s your smile. Tsk. All right, what’s that?”

“I want you to be my date on prom night. I’m a senior so this was my last prom. And I want you to be my date.”

“Gosh! That’s all. All right! But … let’s just wait, shall we? Mommy might scold me.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already said goodbye to Tita.”

“Hala him, oh!”

“Pfft … But I promise you that even though I’m close to college I won’t leave you. I will still be your savior. And I will never let anyone hurt you again. You won’t cry again, cupcake. That’s a promise. . ”

“Ows, really? You so sometimes make me cry.”

‘that won’t happen again, cupcake. Because if I make you cry I won’t hesitate to hurt myself too. You’re important to me.”

All those promises came to nothing. He has not even one fulfilled. He left me then and hurt me. But there was nothing more painful when he came back and he was the one I leaned on then but he was also the one who would destroy me, my whole being.

I thought he was always by my side then. He was my ally at all times but no, he was my worst enemy. Destiny was also very playful.

“Let’s get out of here. You’re not okay, Drea …” Ren whispered in my ear causing me to shift my eyes to him.

“No …” I shook my head one after another. “I … I need to talk to him, Ren. He needs to answer my questions …” as I shook my sob.

“You look stressed, Andrea! Please, let’s go! That will go with you and baby!” he whispered and pulled me away. I didn’t hold on to him and just kept shaking.

“Andrea?”

I turned my head to my right and saw Darlyn in front of us. Her eyes were swollen and her lips were trembling. Her breathing was also heavy as if she hadn’t finished crying.

“A … What …” he closed his eyes firmly and sighed. There were tears from his eyes but he immediately wiped them away. He opened his eyes and I saw the pain there. “What were you doing here? You’re … You’re pregnant, Andrea …” she had a hard time speaking but she was able to say it properly.

“I want to talk to him …” I almost whispered. I looked at Seymour. I could clearly see the shock that enveloped his face.

His features matured. The extreme thinness of his body was also obvious. His face was pale but the sadness in his eyes could not escape me.

I swallowed and averted my eyes. He looks horrible and … miserable. I felt a sudden pang of guilt inside me. I put him in that position but … that’s the right thing to do. No one can blame me there.

“Andrea … Maybe you can’t yet. Remember your condition …” Darlyn looked at my stomach.

“Why can’t you trust me? When I say I can I can …” I folded my arms and rubbed my wet face with my palm. My tears made my face wet. “And one more thing I have to ask him. I won’t be relieved until I know what really happened and he’s like that.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“But he’s already told you everything. What else do you want to know-”

“You know I’m so confused, Darlyn?” I felt my gaze deepen on him. “It’s different. What I know was different. What Seymour told me was different from what Lara told me.”

His eyes widened. “How … How did you talk to Lara?”

The edge of my lip lifted. “Why? were you afraid I’ll find out, Darlyn?” my grin immediately disappeared. ‘that your older brother really killed your daddy? That what he said about my daddy was just a lie? That I was really the cause of his evil deeds?”

I saw Darlyn’s forehead slowly frown. “What?” his eyebrows were almost touching.

“You know what, just let me talk to your brother. Maybe I won’t be angry with you when you let me.” with one arm I pulled Darlyn away and walked over to Seymour.

I erased my slightest expression as I walked closer to her. I could even see him slowly stooping and clenching his fists on the table. I saw how his molar moved with an emphatic manner.
