"So, this is the place where you are hiding? Oh, wrong choice of words. A woman like you who I f*CK so many time, do you think that this man will still love you? No, Anastasia! No one will ever love seriously because your gem was broken. So, it's better for you to come back to me, honey."
A loud and sarcastic voice was heard in that place. But it doesn't matter to her anymore. Because she want to runaway and hide herself from the crowd who is watching and criticizing her. But she can't move.
"I love that look, honey. You are trembling because of excitement. Want a sample here in public or you just come with me and we'll do it privately?" Lester said again when he can't wait for the answer of the filthy woman in front of him.
It took how many years for him to found where she is hiding and only to found out that she is dating another man already. He then realised that he can't get over from Anastasia. If he can't own her, he will definitely destroy her.
But!
"F*CK! Who the hell are you?" he angrily took a glance to the man who punched him.
But instead of answering him, he did the same thing. Even he grabbed his collar and started to speak.
"If you don't know how to respect a woman, you'd better shut up your f*cking mouth or else I'll send you to the prison right away!" Maximo shouted back as he dropped him like a dirty garbage.
How dare he is to insult the woman he love the most? Never! He will never allow anymore the bastard to do such a thing specially to Anastasia.
But instead of learning a lesson, the bastard fought back. If he grabbed his collar, he punches him many times.
Meanwhile, even she is trembling in fear, she managed to get back on her knees. Then she faced the two men who are busy in fighting.
"Go and kill each other. I don't care whoever will win. So it's better for you to go in have a fight in a boxing ring!" she said and walked out.
She run as fast as she could. Because she doesn't want to see anyone again. She's been into a lot of situation because of Lester and now that she thought that she is surviving, another storm came again.
"Honey, wait for me!"
"Where are you going, Anastasia?"
She still can hear those words coming from the two men but she never look back. What's the use of running away if she will look back?
"Damn you both! Just kill each other there!" she said to herself as she walks faster and faster.
It hurts by the way! She thinks that she overcome the crisis because of Lester but it's not. Even she thought that she can love someone again. It's been few years since she left Tarlac and went back home to her own motherland and leave peacefully but again, she is in a situation that she can't do anything except crying.
"If you didn't insulted her, she will never walked away from me, i***t!" Maximo shouted.
"I'm not insulting her, brod! It's true that we live our lives together for few years before she went to Lebanon and even we have a great s*x every night when she came home---"
"Still! You don't have any rights to do that!" Maximo interrupted him.
The bastard who hurts his love. Virgin or not, he doesn't care about it. As long as he love her.
"Whatever! I'm telling you, Mr Whoever you are. You will regret on having her in your life! I will ruin you both as I ruined her! That itchy bitchy of yours!" Lester replied.
Maximo want's to hit him too but when he spread his eyesight, Anastasia was not on his sights anymore. Even though, he know where he can find her
FEW days later...
"What are you doing here? Go home and never appear in my sight anymore," Anastasia emotionless said.
"No, Tacy. I'll not go anywhere unless we will talk nicely." He objected.
He will not leave until they will settle down. No matter what happens, he will make her as his own woman. He love her very much. And besides, she confessed to him already about her past relationship with that bastard.
"If that's what you want, go ahead! Now, speak up, Maximo!" Anastasia smirked but her voice goes higher than usual.
By her answers, Maximo sighed. He couldn't blame her. Because he wasn't the only one who heard the painful words of his ex. For him, those were not important to him because he already know about it. And he is so sure that the old wound in Anastasia's heart had reopened because of Lester. That's the reason why he cannot blame her on her actions.
"Tacy, I understand you and I can't blame you if you're angry. But this is what you'll always remember, no matter what happens, I can't forget you. I love you, Tacy," Maximo promised again.
At this point, the girl raised her eyebrows. That's right, she was very angry until that time. But not with the man she has grown to love or with the person who did nothing but hurt her. She is angry with herself. Because whether she admits it or not, she loves him very much. And when Lester suddenly appeared she was ready to answer it. But because of what happened, she wanted to drive away the man in front of him.
Still, she has no strength to answer him anymore. Because she is afraid that she might be hurt again. And most of all, she don't know when that stupid man will appear on their sight again.
ONE DAY, she is so busy in having a general cleaning to the surrounding of their home when a tricycle stopped. And it's too late to hide herself.
"Auntie, please... Don't runaway from me. I need to talk to you." Kristine immediately begged when she noticed that she want to hide.
"W-what are you doing here?" she asked instead.
She can't help herself but to stammered. It's been a while since she saw the young lady and her father. She miss them after all. Even she will deny.
"Please, Auntie. Come with me to the hospital. I rushed my Dad to the hospital---"
"Why? What happened to him?" She didn't let her finish her words.
How can she do that while the man she love was in the hospital? Is she that hypocrite enough to ignore him even he's in the brinks of death? Will she let him die because of her own stupidity?
