I’m Just His Wife

Tita took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. “Seymour also became his best friend. Of their three friends, the two of them were the closest …” Tita looked down at her as if she remembered something. ‘they couldn’t be separated back then even though Seymour’s time was somewhat divided between Ivan and you. He’s also your best friend, isn’t he?” Mommy turned to me and smiled slightly.

I nodded slowly. I already know that thing. Creed told me that too so I know that.

I saw that my friends stopped eating except for my children who just continued to eat and did not understand what Mommy was saying.

“Hmm, I have a story for you. Ivan doesn’t want to tell anyone but he was forced to tell me because he was afraid I would slap him.” Tita smiled broadly while I laughed. I know that Mommy slaps Ivan every time he keeps something secret from her. “He told me that he has loved you since he was a child. It’s impossible to think but that’s all he knows. When he first saw you on the playground, you got his attention right away.” Tita laughed softly. “You’re so beautiful.” aniya.

I just smiled. She was beautiful to me then? E mud mud was my dress then because I stumbled e.

“Beautiful mud woman.” Mommy Jane bit her lower lip to maybe suppress her laughter. ‘that’s what he called you when he was young. He can’t pronounce your name properly so when he talks to me and we talk about you that’s what he calls you. My son’s naughty, what?” Mommy shook her head as she laughed.

“But when you separated from the place where you live, he was really very sad. He wanted something from you before. That son of mine even cried for you.” Mommy took a deep breath and looked at the sky. Outside the restaurant we thought of eating. “I still remember, he promised himself then that he would look for you and he would make sure you stay together eventually. That’s why he transferred to Quezon even though it was far from our house. You study there, no. ba? ”

I just nodded again. We moved to Quezon before so since I was only in grade two I have been studying there. I also graduated from high school there.

“He already found you because that’s why he moved. He used his own money just to find you. He hired a private investigator to find you. Imagine that, he was just thirteen when he started to find you. He saved up some money. He was a smart guy, you know. ” Mommy’s face showed admiration for her son. She’s right. Ivan was a smart guy.

‘then he met Seymour, Creed and Xyleus in that school. They were friends then but their friendship with Seymour remained secret. Why? Because he found out that you were Seymour’s best friend and that Seymour likes you.” I was stunned by what Mommy said. That’s why I didn’t know that Ivan and I became friends. ‘they’ve been friends for two years. It was two years before he found out that they were the same woman his friend liked. He was so hurt then. He even asked me why that had to happen to him. And it got to the point that … “Mommy’s lips trembled. “It got to the point that he blamed God for what happened to him. He cursed God without even thinking how wrong it was. He was so angry then. He was hurt so much. He loved you so much …”

I sighed and bowed. I don’t even know that I broke a heart that time. I also loved him back then. He just doesn’t pay attention to me. He was mean to me then.

But there was a reason. He didn’t ignore me for no reason.

“Hmm, let’s cut this out.” Mommy suddenly said so I looked up at her. He was wiping his eyes now. Did she cry? “I’m sorry for this. I just remember my son …” Mommy smiled sadly.

“So, Tita, Rigella was really Ivan’s first love?” Darlyn asked.

Mommy nodded and smiled. “Yes, Darlyn. From the very start, Rigella was the only woman that Ivan had ever loved.” he replied.

“But how about Lara? She had been Ivan’s mistress for years, Tita. How can you explain that?” Roxanne asked. I rested deeply. was this Lara talk again?

“Oh, Lara was just nothing for Ivan. I know that because he never looked at Lara like how he looked at Rigella. Maybe Ivan has a reason to continue his relationship with that woman even though he was married. I know my son too well. ”

“But, Tita, was it true that my sister poisoned you?” Laren suddenly asked so I turned to him. His question alone was the most intriguing for me.

Tita’s forehead furrowed but she nodded slowly and took a deep breath. “Yes, Laren. She tried to poison me because I told her once that I don’t like her for Ivan. I know her secrets. She already has a wife and a child but she’s still in a relationship with my son.” Mommy’s confession.

Laren frowned. “I knew it. I’m sorry about that, Tita. My sister was really evil.” he was shaken.

“It’s okay, Laren. It’s not your fault. Besides, I’m still alive. That’s what’s important now.”

We nodded there at once. I wonder what would be Ivan’s reaction when his mother died because of Lara. Maybe he’ll get mad at all. I know how much he treasures his mother.

After we ate, Mommy and my children left immediately. I fired them because they shouldn’t know what I was going to do. I know that Mommy won’t let me.

“Let’s go mental.” I nursed Darlyn, Roxanne and Laren when we got in the car.

“You’re crazy. What were we going to do mentally?” Darlyn’s irritated promise. Why was this woman so upset right away? Does he have a mental issue?

“Why, you can gaga wagas.” Irap naman ni Roxanne. Seriously, was he the one ‘gaga” told to annoy them? Their weird ha! “She and the pregnant woman want to go to Lara. She’s so smart. When her stomach was big, she even thought of going to that madman.” Roxanne’s sarcastic promise as she teased me. I just sucked. E so far I just thought e!Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“were you sure about that, Drea? Maybe that’s what my sister will do to you. You’re pregnant.” worried Laren said.

I sucked again. Duh, I can handle myself. “It’s fine, Ren. I can manage. I just want to check what’s going on with him right now. I heard he’s getting worse.” I don’t know but I suddenly felt worried about Lara. Even though my anger towards that woman was sky high, I am still worried about her mental state.

“You see? You’re the one who said he’s getting worse, Andrea!” Darlyn scolded me so I frowned a little. “What if that woman does something bad to you, huh? How were you and your son? I’m telling you, don’t go on with what you want to do. It’s too dangerous!”

“But, Darlyn, I can’t calm down until I find out about her condition. My conscience can’t calm me down because I know you did something wrong to make her sicker worse!” I shouted again.

“What ?!” Laren asked in shock.

Darlyn and Roxanne’s sudden silence was remarkable. Yes, I know they did something to Lara. That’s not right. I don’t want them doing that.

“What was Drea saying, Roxanne? Darlyn?” wrinkled when Laren asked.

“I knew it all along, Roxanne, Darlyn. I’m just keeping quiet because I wanted you to tell me yourself before. But guess what, you didn’t do it! What you’re doing was illegal! I don’t want you to do such evil!” I hate them.

“But we just wanted to give her back the pain and sufferings that you experienced, best! What’s wrong with that? She only deserves it because she’s a demon!” Roxanne replied.

“If Lara was a demon, what were you?” as long as it comes out of my mouth. I saw both of them shocked at what I said. Even Laren was surprised, too. “Revenge doesn’t do anything good, Roxanne, Darlyn. You didn’t do it right. No matter how much you’re with Lara, you shouldn’t have done that to her. She’s still human. Respect her. Don’t you think how hard it was to do it. mental life? Maybe that’s enough for him to pay for his sins against me. ” this time my voice calmed down.

“Drea’s right, girls. I’m sorry but I’m a little annoyed with you. You aggravated my sister. It’s my fault but it’s still my sister. I’m still a twin.” Laren shrugged and leaned back in his chair.

I stopped talking and just took a deep breath. No matter how much pain Lara caused me, Roxanne and Darlyn doesn’t have the right to do that. It was wrong to take advantage of others. That’s not fair.

This. This was what was happening in my life now that he was not by my side. Quiet but still a bit of a commotion. He was gone but a blessing has taken his place. And that was our baby.

He’s not beside me, yes. But his love for me and my love for him won’t be gone. That will never go away. Whether it rains a knife, whether the crow was white, or whether the world collapses we will not lose our passion.

Because what we had was for keeps. Nothing can change that.

I picked up my cellphone and unlocked it. Ivan’s photo automatically popped up when we were still together in Realondo. I secretly took a picture of him as he smiled as he listened to the priest. This picture was from when we went to church.

I smiled and caressed the phone’s screen using my thumb. He looks so happy that time. He looks so happy to hear God’s words of wisdom.

Ivan,

I wish you were here. I hope you were experiencing the nice course of my life today. Maybe it feels happier to feel the fresh air together, the sun shining and touching our skin, and raising our children together. It would be happy, for sure.

But even if you were not by my side you were still here in my heart. You won’t be lost, I promise. I love you so much e. More than what you think. I love you so much, Ivan Jed De Leon. Too much.

See you soon. We’ll be together again, don’t worry. And in that case we will never be apart again, promise.

We have experienced many trials. Can we still be separated?
