MARCO I was in the garage when someone suddenly called my phone. I picked it up right away and looked at who. I frowned as it was not in my contacts but I just answered it maybe it is an emergency. "Hello," I answered, frowning while inserting my keys. "Marco," answered the caller who sounded like a very familiar voice to me. "Adam?" I asked, then to sit down properly. "Yes," he chuckled in the other line and I smiled as I heard the voice of their son Helios. "Why did you call? Is there any problem?" I asked worriedly but he just laughs in the other line. "Nothing bro, I just called because I want you to come to my wedding, me and Marina will be getting married bro and I want you to be there. I want you to come and see my happiness so you could see yours too. Maybe it's the only answer so can stop your foolishness plans," he delightedly says, the tone of his voice as he announces that she will marry the woman he loves the most. Despite all the things that happened between them, the ending will always be in the church. "Congrats bro! I am so happy that you and Marina will be getting married. I know you've been waiting a long time, congrats. But I may not be able to come into your wedding, I have loads of loads of important business under our company and our father wanted me to handle it," I said, not minding the words he had said and I heard him sighed. "But don't worry bro I'll send you my gifts and wishes. How I wish that I can come bro but, "I could not continue what I was going to say when he suddenly spoke. "I understand it's okay. How I wish too but thank you for being always there when I needed you, bro," he said and I know that he is now smiling at his own words. "Yeah sure bro. Oh, will Mirana come?"I ask. I don't even know why I'm asking it. "No, Marina said that her twin will not be able to come. I don't know the reasons why that's just what Marina told me. There was a sadness in Marina's eyes when she told me her twin couldn't go but I didn't bother to ask anymore," he said I knew he was worried about Marina. "Ow is that?" I said and I heard him coughing with a laugh that I knew where he was going again. "Miss her bro?" he jokes in the other line. "No, why would I?" I plainly answered. "Are you still going to continue taking revenge?" he asked in a whisper. "Yes you know me, Adam, I am not a man who's retreating," I said and I heard him sighed. "Think about this Marco," he warned and I just rubbed my forehead. "I already just did and it's official," I sternly said. "I hope your revenge plan will not go wrong. Marina will be hurt too if she knows this. And don't forget that you are still the father she is carrying," he said, worrying in his tone of voice. "So what?" I answered as if I care. "f**k Marco! That's your child and so what? so what? damn your so what. Have mercy at least for the innocent child Marco and a bit for Mirana. If you don't want her then just give her a bit of respect even though she hurt you so deeply like hell. I know what you are feeling that hurts. I've experienced that too. But what did I do? I fight for it because I love the woman whom I'm now getting married to. Trust me, Marco, she still loves you and hopes for you to come back and start a new life. Maybe it takes time to forget all of those memories but it takes just a word to forgive her. I know, I know it may not be simple to forgive such a pain that she caused you but at least try, try to forgive her and try to forget and start a new chapter in your life together with your child," he said in another line. "I don't know bro. I'll call you later, I have a meeting to attend to. Bye," I bid my goodbye even though I didn't have a meeting to go to. "Think about it, bro. Okay, take care of yourself there. Bye," he answered and ended the call. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes. I can never forget those events that I could scarcely recognize myself in those days. Fortunately, Rosso was there during my devastating days. Days I couldn't believe his warnings that Mirana just cheated on me and made fun of me. I was just too stupid to ignore those things so much I loved her and I believed her words too. I thought it was just a joke but I saw in his own eyes the shame and disgrace as I knelt in front of her to witness all the people around us. I begged for mercy several times but only laughed at me and the people around us. I looked at Mirana and did not realize that my tears were streaming but that she had no emotion and turned away as she left me with people who approached and screamed. At that time my whole body seemed to be numb and I could feel no pain in their strokes until Rosso came and helped me. I shouted at him that he would have just left me and let me die but he just punched me and said I had no idea if I would think so. From the beginning, I left the place just as Rosso said to start over and return only when things were going well. Sorry, Adam but I can't do what you said. Forgiveness is no longer in my heart.
