I'll Be Gone

Arthea Primero-de Cervantes POV

"I DON'T WANT to be like Reolla," Shin said without emotion and to my surprise I turned to her.

"Ha? What are you saying there, Shin? Who's Reolla?" confused I asked him.

We are here now in SM and my friend Marshin Escalante and I were just hanging out.

My bestfriend since second year college. Beautiful but quiet. She is brunette and tall. Miss Universe looks like my sister and once our Miss University winner.

He is also a model type, many people have plans to invite him to model. But she rejected it, not because she didn't want to and she didn't have the talent for rapping. But, she's married and very strict with sugar daddy-this is her husband.

"Reolla Moon, Poirier's Unwanted Family," was not in his own words and someone grabbed a book from the bookshelves.

"Who is Poirier?" I asked her.

"Poirier who already has a wife and another family," he replied and handed me the book he had taken.

"Read on. For someone like me The Proxy Wife and you like Unwanted Wife you must know something about such things."

My friend really likes novels as long as the genre is romance. I don't know to this one why she doesn't want to be like the actresses who are ignored by their husbands.

"I don't. I prefer fantasy," I replied and grabbed another book titled, Uncrown Princess, Lazaro's Princess.

I don't feel romance because I don't want to be sad reading.

Shin and I were the same situations. She is just a proxy wife and she uses a different name now. Cashren Jhed Vesalius. But I called her Shin.

And I got married two years ago as if I didn't have a husband either because Lervin often doesn't come home. Lervin de Cervantes, neurologist doctor. So we really relate to each other.

"Art, you must have an idea of ​​such novels," he insisted to me.

"You're romance and I'm fantasy, period," I said and turned my back on him.

I was about to walk to the counter to pay for the book I bought when my eyes were fixed on the figure of the man who had just entered the book area.

"It killed me, Shin!" I almost shouted and pulled Shin by the arm to hide on the other shelves.

Shin TURNED what I was referring to him and his eyebrows met as he looked at me.

"What is your husband doing here, Art?" he asked as if he also had no idea why my husband was here in SM.

I haven't seen my pogi husband for two weeks. I don't know where he is going and I don't care about him either. Tsk.

"Eh, you, Shin. What is your husband doing here too, Shin?" I asked him again.

Here we are, hiding and have fallen to the floor so that the two men we are hiding cannot see.

"I didn't know they were best friends, Art," Shin said in amazement and I nodded.

"Shin, we're dead here. Lervin babe shouldn't know we're here!" nervous I said and tightened my grip on his right arm.

"Aray! Art, your hand will work!" he spoke threateningly and I just retaliated with a dog smile.

"Me too, Art. Cervin shouldn't see me here. For God's sake, Art! We're in the middle of class! They might find out we're cutting class," he said with apprehension in his voice.

"That's really why we're cutting," I said with a smile.

We turned again in Lervin's direction and saw that they were no longer there.

"Cervin is also your husband's name, Shin?" I asked crookedly.

"Right. Lervin is your husband's name, Art."

Shin and I looked at each other for a while and later we laughed and sighed.

"They're both destiny," I laughed and we both seemed to forget that we were hiding here so that Lervin wouldn't see and they would know that we were cutting in class which is true.

It's just nothing. We didn't feel like entering our last subject. Also, it's not a major subject and it's just keri.

"No pakels, my Lervin babe. It's as if I don't exist in our house because he doesn't pay attention to me and this isn't the first time we've met outside," I said at length and the expression on his face changed. Shin.

"But not Cervin. I was dead when he caught me here, Art. You know he's strict, right? I have a curfew. He's scary when he's angry," he said and he looked scared.

"So--"

"Ladies, what are you doing, there?"

Shin and I were shocked to see the speaker and there. The two poging men we were hiding were already standing!

I was devastated when Lervin and I met eyes. As usual, no expression.

I felt Shin's long nail on my arm and I was overcome with pain.

"Shin, maybe you can cut your long nails?" raised eyebrows I said and I could clearly see his pallor.

It was as if a lot of vinegar was being poured on his face. Is he that scared of his wife? And hey! She's shaking, dude!

Before I could speak Lervin came to me. He grabbed me by the left arm and pulled me upright.

Cervin did the same to Shin. And he possessively encircled his arms on his wife's waist. Nice.

And there! I also felt Lervin babe's hand on my waist and he pulled me closer to him and our bodies stuck together.

I could feel the heat of his body and here was the familiar throbbing in my chest again.

I was so bent over that I couldn't look directly at my wife. After Shin and I hid and also saw we were here and we were at Starbucks.

Shin and I sat side by side and when I peeked earlier at my friend's appearance there was also no emotion.

Lervin and Cervin were sitting opposite us.

He is like that when he faces his wife. Better don't show your real expression, he said.

The aura of Cervin Raeson Vesalius is also scary. You seem to have black around him? And it just needs to have black wings and horns on the head. There was really no expression on his face.

He is handsome and has a good posture. He was wearing an orange polo shirt and black slacks. Lervin wore sky blue long sleeves and white pans. Oh, isn't it? Their pogi faces are fighting and I know they both win.

A lot of women are also looking at the two of them and they don't care about that.

Their eyes are focused on us. So that's weird.

"You still have class, right?" said Cervin and even his voice was very cold. I looked away when he stared at me. Lervin, my husband, I can't stand his gaze. Eh, is Cervin still Shin's wife whose aura is really scary?

"Yeah. What are you doing here?" This time, it was my wife who asked.

"We just bought materials for our project." My heart secretly rejoiced when Shin answered Lervin. Shin is a good liar.

Because it seems, he said. Proxy wife she must be best actress she. Knows how to lie. That friend of mine is pathetic, eh.

Just to hell he would land on the amount of lies he told.

"That's book? Is that what you called materials?" Lervin asked doubtfully and I swallowed again.

"And why are you hiding from us?" Cervin, on the other hand.

Dead. It's like we're criminals and lies can't really buy these two.

"Fine. We were cutting and we were so bored at University. It was exhausting," I muttered and I ate the spaghetti they had ordered from us.

I stopped chewing when Cervin suddenly laughed and frowned. Earlier his face could not be read. And even a stingy smile is nothing. Now he is laughing.

Very good.

I looked inside Starbucks and he got the full attention of the customers.

It's like an angel is singing because the voice is beautiful.

"That's what I want from your husband, Lervin, eh. He's very honest," she and the sisters said. His killer smile is already peeking out. That's why my friend went to the sink. Eh, there are two deep dimples on both his cheeks. Looks like Lervin is my babe too. But Shin also has dimples, ah? Two more! I was the only one left. Unfair.

None of my own looked at Shin. He was already bent over and he looked embarrassed. Do something, Art!

I sneezed before speaking, "that's true. We are too bored. We have a project and we need materials so we cut the last subject. This afternoon it will be passed and we don't have time. So we cut." I looked at the two books on our table.

"And about the books. We bought bookworms," ​​I said with a smile and Shin's wife nodded. My excuse was answered. That's good.

Shin seemed to be breathing well and started eating again.

"Oh, okay. And maybe, this is destiny. Let's have a lunch date too. What do you think, dude?"

"Yeah. Since, I haven't seen my husband in a long time. So, this is our lunch date, right baby?" smiling he said and I choked suddenly.

I feel like my face is so red now!

"Careful, baby," Lervin said softly to me and leaned closer to me. He caress my back and I stilled.

My husband's impact on me is so strong. I don't know when I felt it, as long as he was like this.

I was nervous for reasons I didn't know. I miss him sometimes but I really want to see him. E, even if sometimes I don't have pakels with him.

I still remember, our first meeting. We were at Bitter & Better Restaurant.

FLASHBACK

"Are you ready to meet your future husband, grandson?" Daddy-grandfather Rafidel asked me calmly.

I went home early because I was supposed to meet my future husband, Daddy-lolo said. I was still a freshman in college and he wanted to marry me right away.

Daddy-lolo is my only family. I am orphaned by my parents. They died when I was only five years old. Daddy-lolo said he had a car accident and died on arrival.

So Daddy-grandpa took care of me and now I have grown up well. So I really love my Grandpa. So everything he wants I just follow.

I was only 18 three months ago. Daddy-lolo also agreed that it was just a civil wedding first. The grand wedding was supposed to be after my graduation. Though, civil is okay with me.

"Yes, daddy-lo," I replied smiling at him.

I was ready yesterday. I just wore a simple off-shoulder dress that was only up to my knees in length. It's red and I'm wearing doll shoes. I also let my long hair down to my waist.

Daddy-lo is in a suit. He is very formal and even though he is a little old, my Grandfather is still handsome.

"Good evening." I looked up at the speaker near Daddy-grandpa's table.

The man's voice was very baritone and when I saw how he looked, my heart suddenly started beating faster.

The handsome! I almost dropped my jaw on the floor of this resto.

He is also in a formal suit and even though he looks like a poker face, that doesn't reduce his fatigue. Where is justice?

I still feel like my older brother is a fictional Wattpad character.

"Good evening too, son. Sit down," Daddy-lo smiled at him and based on Daddy-grandfather's voice he was happy! Wherever?

"Uh, son. This is Arthea Primero, my beautiful granddaughter," Daddy-grandpa introduced me and we were right.

There, I stared at him harder. From his seemingly perfect eyebrows, his very cold gray eyes, down to his sharp nose and reddish lips. He is really handsome. I was suddenly thirsty, so that's what I did. I drink my water.

"AND grandson, he's Lervin de Cervantes, your future husband."

Wew! I'm not at a loss for it! My fiancé is handsome. But it looks stuck?

"Hi, beautiful. I'm Lervin," he said and he stood up and bowed. He reached for my hand and kissed it.

My lips parted in what he did and swallowed when I saw him smile.

Holy God! He had a set of dimples! Nice! I compose myself and smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Lervin. Just call me, Art," I said smiling and wew. I didn't stutter there.

"Well, please to meet you too, baby."

END OF FLASHBACK

Okay the first time we met but after our wedding? Nah, his kindness suddenly disappeared and that's it. He often did not come home to our house.

I only see him once. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds like crap to me. I'm worried for him.

And because I'm really worried that's frustrating. Because I'm his wife and I have no idea where he's going or if he's okay.

Also, I know I'm a busy person. He was busy with their patients at the hospital.

"I'll deliver you." His voice was cold again. He is greedy. Not porket my wife he I will not fight him. Hmp!

"Just go, I can go back to school. I'll take a taxi. Waste your time with me," I said sullenly.

We are not close to that but we also talk from time to time. I'm comfortable fighting him but most of the time, we don't get along.

Her lips pressed tightly together and she looked at me coldly. Then he stared at me like he was bored.

I turned to my friend who was still next to his wife. After we ate we went back to shopping for the materials we supposedly had.

"DON'T be stubborn, Arthea," he said emphatically and even used his authority on me. Pss.

I ignored him and just passed him. I approached my friend and wrapped my hand around Shin's arm.

"You guys can go. We can manage ourselves to go back to school," I said and Lervin just sighed.

Shin's hubby would have spoken as well, in case my friend preceded him.

"Yeah. We're okay here. We'll just take a taxi," Shin said calmly.

"Alright," Lervin surrendered and I just sneered at him.

"I'll just give you a taxi," Cervin said and that's what he did.

Cervin's taxi stopped in front of us and immediately opened the door.

I was the first to ride and I didn't look away from my wife.

Before Cervin closed the car door, he warned the driver.

"Drive slowly, man. You have a female passenger." Cool.

"Take care."

The taxi driver started his car and Shin and I both looked outside.

They also quickly got into their own car and I was just shaken.

I looked at my friend who I also like his reaction.

"Seriously? Why did your husband's car follow, Art?" he asked in astonishment.

I smirked, "why did your husband's car follow too, Shin?" I asked him.

"Honestly, Art. Your hubby's face is really a Wattpad fictional character," he said and there was amazement in his voice again.

I learned from him that you are such fictional characters.

"Looks like your wife too?" my question seemed innocent.

"Yeah. Often snobbish and quiet. Even though it's strict I know the people around him are important to him," my friend said and that made sense, ah.

"Are you with me?" raised eyebrows I asked him.

"I don't know," he replied and just shrugged.

I hope my wife is okay. If only he wasn't stupid. I know that he is not rude. But I don't really know why he treats me so differently.

His behavior is tearful, even though I don't know him very well.

SOMEDAY, I'LL BE GONE

~ Drunk ~

"You are NOT in my last subject," said Miss Emily, our History professor, coldly. She was only in her mid-40s and an old lady so she was naturally cursed.

She's wearing big eyeglasses and what does she look like? Scary, even her aura. There is no emotion.

"Next week is the foundation of our University. So, I expected you to play on foundation night. You can't say no to me or else goodbye grades," he said threateningly, then he turned his back on us.

Shin and I looked at each other and he was also pale. Crap! I forgot that Miss Emily was our last subject and that's still history! He is still the most strict and cursed prof of us.

Shin and I are in our third year of college and we are still in the same course, HRM. I'm in the same class and I only met Shin last year.

First, he's a snob and doesn't care about the environment. You thought he had a world of his own and he was cool. So that's where he got my attention.

I approached him and befriended him. It is also difficult to feed the wild lion. But in the end it was tamed as well.

Besides Marshin Escalante I have another friend. But that's a guy's bestfriend.

Oh, speaking of the devil. They are already there.

"How's that, Art? Play? Means singing too!" he said and seemed nervous as well.

"Eh, I won't play. You can play guitar and me, I can play piano. Let's just choose a song," I said with a smile on my face.

That's not the case with me. Then I loved playing the piano. And I know Shin also knows how to play the guitar, he also has a beautiful voice.

"It's annoying. I still don't want everyone to be the center of attention," he said annoyed and I just laughed at him.

We walked and the twins met us.

"Cutting class, ladies?" Crimson asked. Crimson del Labiba. They are in their last year of college and business management is his course.

Crimson who is handsome and easy to talk to. He is kind and gentleman. The number of people who are obsessed with him, even juniors.

He was white and he stood 6.2. Model type. Her eyes were narrowed and her nose was piercing. Her lips were pinkish.

"No wonder," Drimson commented bored.

Drimson del Labiba. Looks bad boy and stuck. It's a snob but it's not unfamiliar to people. He is also a play boy. Hot -tempered and impatient immediately. But that was tender and kind to us. Architecture is his course, same year. He's also handsome, he's probably Crimson's twin.

Drim put his arm around me and because he was a big man I was weighed down on his arm.

"Your weight, Drim!" I complained to him and he just laughed.

"Why so grumpy, Shin?" Crimson asked Shin that he is now a pokerface.

He ignored Crim and just walked straight and Crimson chased him.

"Where did you go?" Drim asked me softly, as we walked towards our department. I think these two will take us.

"In SM, roam," was my short reply.

"Ah ..." that's all he said and we walked quietly.

IT'S past six pm when I get home to Lervin and me. Before our wedding my husband's parents bought it.

The mansion is large. Five bedrooms and two guest rooms. There is a library, Lervin's laboratory. It is third floor and has a rooftop.

She is simple to look at but elegant inside. Lervin and I have three housemates and they are the only ones doing the work here.

I'm still a student so I probably don't do anything here in our house. Another thing is that my husband rarely comes home here.

When I entered Lervin's room, I immediately changed into my school uniform. Yes, my husband and I are in the same room but we never do what you know.

I lay down on my bed and did not realize that I had fallen asleep.

I just woke up when I heard a gentle knock from our bedroom door.

I got up and went to the door. Aling Susan greeted me immediately.

"Why?" I asked him sleepily.

"Your wife is home, hija and she's downstairs. Go," Aling Susan told me.

Suddenly I lost sleep and frowned.

It must have been a miracle that my wife came home. I stared at the wall clock.

Nice. 9 P.M and!

I just combed my hair with my fingers and I left our room.

I found Lervin in the living room with a bottle of wine in his hand.

You see my wife. As usual, if you go home, get drunk right away. It doesn't seem like the 'sang' is a doctor. Kaloka.

I approached where he was and he was about to shake the bottle when I quickly snatched it.

Seriously? What is the drama of this one. There was really no change in him.

"There you are my beautiful wife," he said and approached me. He snakes his arm on my waist and he hugged me.

"Are you really a doctor or are you just on a trip? You know alcohol is bad for your health!" I preached to him and pushed him hard.

He would have almost fallen if he hadn't just balanced right away.

"You smell like wine!" disgusted I said.

"Uh-huh? Come here, baby. Hug me," she said smiling.

"What's your problem, Lervin de Cervantes?" I asked him coldly and he even held me by my waist.

"Jillian ... Jillian."

I was shocked when he suddenly mentioned that name. It's been a long time since I heard the name he pronounced.

Is Jillian still the one you miss, Lervin? Is Jillian still the one you love?

That Jillian who did nothing but hurt you? But to make you cry and torture you?

"Why this world is unfair?" he asked sadly. I took a deep breath. Here it is, here is the pain in my heart.

I don't know why I feel this way. I just woke up one morning hurting for Lervin who loved the married woman so much.

I MET Jillian when Lervin and I were on our honeymoon.

Our honeymoon was in Canada but he just left me there and he went with that Jillian.

There he also said that he already loves someone else and that I should not expect him to love me.

He is not against this wedding but he just has no choice. Actually, he can refuse but he can't.

He still chose to tie me up even though he already loved someone else. But I thought Jillian loved him too but he didn't either.

I only found out last year that Jillian was married. It seems that she has been married to Lervin's best friend for three years.

At first, yes. I don't care about him but after two years I'm starting to like him. Although I rarely see him.

"Hmm ... Jillian ..." she whispered softly and I was surprised when I felt her warm lips touch my shoulder.

"For Pete's sake, Lervin! You are drunk!" I scolded him and he hugged me tightly.

This man is shameless.

__________________________

After I helped Lervin into our room, I immediately changed his clothes. Now he is sound asleep.

White t-shirt and black pajamas are his clothes now and somehow he no longer smells of alcohol. After I wiped him, he fell asleep immediately.

The case also never stopped him pronouncing that woman's name. I don't know what was wrong with that woman and to this day my husband is still dead.

By that thought, something like a knife sank into my heart again.

I took a deep breath. I lay down next to my wife and she was stunned because of that. He came over to me and wrapped me in his arms.

I just let him go and hugged him back. Like before, he's still fine. But when he came home, it was as if he had lost the game.

He was very disappointed. Alas, Lervin babe, if you could just command your heart to love others, I might even apply for you to love me.

To be continued...
