1278 Words
"Hey, what the hell you are thinking to do?!"
A word loud is not enough to discribe the tone which own by the one who grabbed her. Maybe he thinks that she wants to commit suicide.
"What a f*CK! Why did you slapped me? I just saved you from jumping from that bridge. Is that how you repay me?!"
He again said in very loud voice.
"Who told you that I want to commit suicide? Is that because I'm alone and crying silently here? Don't assume that much!"
She shouted back. Well, she accepts that she's tempted to believe that woman who said that she's married to Maximo. But it didn't come to the point that she wants to end her life in such a way.
She's about to leave him when she turned around and say, "By the way, Mr whoever you are. Thank you for saving me as you say so. Have a good day!"
It's getting dark already that is why she walked out and went away from the stranger as fast as she could. But again, her mind is starting to build a doubts.
MEANWHILE, since that he can't wait for his woman to be home, he then decided to show himself.
"Good evening, Uncle." He greeted the old Demagiba but he accepts that he's a little bit nervous.
"Same to you, Maximo. Anastasia is not yet home but your daughter is here in her room. She said that she will wait for Aunt Anastasia to come home," he answered.
"Uncle, I don't know what my daughter tells you but would you allow me to speak first to Anastasia? I promise you, Uncle. I really love her very much." He assured the old man.
"She told me something strange, Maximo. But I told her that let you and my daughter talk about that. Because if what she told me is correct, you need to decide a hard decision."
"I don't have nothing to deny, Uncle. All I want is to be with her. But for now, I will leave you here and I'll go and fetch Anastasia."
"Okay, go ahead, Maximo. Just make sure that you are not hurting my daughter again same as that bastard Lester."
In his mind, his daughter was beyond pain again. Because Maximo was married already. But the most painful is, he lied to Anastasia and his daughter. And most of all, to all of them. He hide the truth that he has a wife who is working in United Kingdom for so many years.
AFTER SOMETIMES...
"Why, Maximo? What did I do to you to hurt me again this way?!"
"I don't have any other explanation, darling. Because it's true that I lied to you. But please believe me that I love you so much, Anastasia."
"If that's what... Are you telling me that everything is true?"
She's acting like crazy woman right at the moment. But what can she do if she really cannot believe it? She's just a loser who lost in the battle of love and life. Her inner mind is true actually. Because of her lust, she lost once more.
"Did you reach your home already, darling? Did you heard what Katherine told to Uncle?" Maximo asked too.
"No, Maximo! I learnt the truth from that person who introduced herself to me as your wife. But because I love you, I didn't believe her words because I thought that she is just trying to let us be separated. But now--- But now--- I hate you, Maximo! You and that son of a b!tch are just the same! No one is telling me the truth! I hate you!"
She shouted and tried everything to go away from the man who she thinks to be her soulmate. But it turns to be her second heartbreak.
"Darling, let's talk. Tell me what should I do for you to believe me---"
But she didn't let him finish. She slapped him heavily.
"Believe you? Why should I do that, Maximo? Stay where you are right now! I don't want you to be near with me!" she furiously said.
"Darling, I know. Everything is my fault. But no matter what happens, I never lied everytime that I'm telling you of my love. Please calm yourself and let's talk." Maximo again pleaded.
It's hurt! She's too much hurt in knowing that her lover, Maximo is really a married man. And the most painful is the same heartbreak with two men.
"Go away from me, Maximo. Since that you accepted that you are really a married man, there's no reason for us to continue our relationship. Never show up in front of me again," she said instead.
"No, darling. I know that you are angry right now. That is why I won't take your words down to my heart. Come here. I will take you now to your house but someday I will come back again to talk with you."
He said sincerely. He know that no matter what he will say on that time, it's useless. That is why he decided to take her home instead of insisting in talking.
While Anastasia didn't resist anymore. She really wanted to be alone but the world doesn't allow. At first, someone interrupted her near the bridge because of thinking that she's planning to commit suicide. And on her way, she met her lover and admit that everything is true.
BUT!
"Despite the fact that I already talked to you, Miss Demagiba, you still met my husband. But I will let this slide because I know that it's all my fault why Maximo turned to other woman aside from me."
The woman who waited for her in front of the burger stand, who told her that she is married to Maximo, is now in their own home.
"What are you doing here?!" Maximo asked loudly.
But instead of answering him she remained in her position. She is facing Anastasia and speaks again.
"Once and for all, Miss Demagiba. Stop this relationship between you, Maximo and my daughter. As I've said a while ago, I am a lawyer and working in Philippines Embassy in London. That is why I will not sue you for adultery in consideration that I'm away from them for many years. But do also your part, avoid them totally. In other words, none of them will have a communication anymore."
"Maximo, I forgave you for having a relationship with all those women all those years. And I will again forgive you now. But like what I have said to your mistress, cut all your ties to them because I will take you and Kristine to London with me. Either you will like it or not, you cannot marry her because I'm still alive and kicking."
"Sir Demagiba, I'm sorry for causing you this commotions but I know that you don't like that your daughter will ruin a family. Thank you also for letting me in to wait for them. And most of all, I do really appreciates your love to my daughter. God will bless you, Sir.
Maximo's wife said at length. She just told the truth. And even they will hate her for the rest of her life, atleast she speaks what's the best for everyone.
Everything happens quickly! In just one afternoon, in just one glance and blinks of their eyes, they are all gone.
Then...
Anastasia wailed as loud as she can. No one dares to stop her. Because they know how she feels right at the moment. They just let her to do what she wanted just ease the pain that she's feeling right at that time.
