Chapter 4 Present III

In the minutes that passed when Acerlon left, I did nothing but burst into tears. My eyes are already swollen but I don't care.

I only stop crying when my eyes drop in my stomach. My lips parted.

M-my baby.

I barely smiled and touched my womb.

What if I tell it to your daddy? Would he come back to me? Would he accept you and me? Would he choose us?

I smiled widely and wiped my tears.

Maybe if he knows about you, he wouldn't leave us.

My bright smile faded when something came in my mind.

But?

What if he take you away from me? No! I can not live without you. You are the only one I have now. I will keep you baby. You are only mine. I don't want you to be taken to me.

I insanely hug myself and burst of crying again.

"Leyde Mira?" (Lady Meira?)

I looked at Weina. I didn't realize that she had already entered.

"Leyde Mira, dun't kray... He is nat the only man yo can love. Lit him go..." (Lady Meira, don't cry... He is not the only man you can love. Let him go...)

"It's easy to say but it's hard to do it."

Weina becomes silent. I started crying again and hugged myself tightly.

"I survived a few times but it's also tiring. He taught me everything. He taught me how to love without him knowing. But if I'll stop loving the person I love, no eh! It's just hard but... by the way that's life..." I barely laughed while wiping my tears.

Weina didn't say anything so I continue to speak. "I'm sorry if I always made you worry. Thank you because you're always there everytime I need someone to lean on."

"Plese, dun't hert yorselp," (Please, don't hurt yourself,)

"I know, I'm ready to die, that's why I did."

She sighed and walked towards me. She hugged me tightly.

"I know you love him so much but... you need to learn and gets how to move on. Like, we should treasure the photos but the love or feelings, I don't think so."

I hugged Weina tightly as I cried hard again.

This will be the last. I ought to myself.

When night came, Weina went home. I was left alone in a private room at the hospital. The doctor said I must stay here for two days. She doesn't want to stay here anymore.

My eyes went down again in the paper I was holding. I sighed several times before making a decision.

My fault. Maybe this is my chance to make up for my sister. Maybe Mommy was right. Acerlon and Chira are for each other.

I was caught in my stomach.

And maybe, you and I- baby, should be together.

I will raise you, even without your father. I love you so much, my baby.

I picked up the ballpen and then signed our divorce paper.

When I'm done, I put again the paper inside the envelope but I stop when I saw a check. I get that and shocked to see that it has a two million amount and a signature of Acerlon.

I barely sobs as the tears escaped from my eyes.

So? The price of her being a momentarily wife is two million?

What a jerk.

I put the envelope on the mini table. I got out of bed and picked up the dress Weina had given me earlier. I took off the patient's gown and put on my dress.

The doctor said I must stay here, but I can't.

I was about to leave when my eyes hit the envelope again. I sighed and walked to the mini table. I open the envelope and get the check.

I don't have anything so I'll take the check and walk away. This is also for our child.....
