My Lost Angel

Chapter 7

Meeting ex-husband.

Unedited

As the events started, I saw a completely different scenario from what I expected, I saw my brother Abdon putting a ring on my best friend Violet's finger as he held her hand gently.

All the other guest's clap and cheer for them. I was shocked my best friend and Abdon my brother are in a relationship I felt betrayed I wish I could scream and accuse them of betraying me, I felt so unwanted but I was quiet.

The clients that had come to me on that day congratulated me and were pleased with the food and the decoration we had made.

It was 22:00 all the guests had left it was just Addy, me, my parents, my brother and my best friend. I knew very well they wanted to talk to me but acted all civilized.

I knew today was the day I face my past. I look at Addy, "Hi, Addy you leave I will come late".

"So, sis are you going to run again?", I looked in the direction of the voice I saw it was my brother I knew from his face that he had so many questions for me he didn't sound happy and neither did look sad I just nodded my head and walked back to the house apartment I saw my parents my best friend violet and the emotions displayed on their faces I knew I had to say the truth and I knew today was a day I just felt so shitty about myself.

I slowly awkwardly sat down in front my father looked at me and said why didn't you tell us as soon as I was about to open my mouth my mother's quickly said "what was wrong? we didn't raise you this way? why? why were you doing this?" I could answer this question Violet it cut me "was he beating you? you scared?"

My brother came in the middle and said "please guys let her talk you're making her more frightened". I mentally thanked my brother because I needed it I took a deep breath close my eyes for a minute and opened it.

"I'm sorry Mommy Daddy violet and bro I was scared like I would destroy everything I didn't know what to do I was scared I was too scared if this my marriage feels what would I do I already seen my brother's marriage feel hope people judge them and how people were hurting him I didn't want to do that I didn't want it to be a failure I was too scared to face you so I thought I leave and go I do not know it sounds dumb but at that time I lost my confidence I lost many of my things I wish I would have thought little more I tried to come back but each time I felt like will be held responsible blamed because I know I am to be blamed. I know I am the one who drops the dignity of a family I'm sorry guys please forgive me I didn't have the courage he's yours to come back to you."

I stopped as tears from my eyes roll down my cheeks. My father got up came close to me.

"Rose do you think we are going blame you for the things you didn't do? Do you think we are so small and narrow in our thoughts?~" I cut him "Please dad i~".

But he continued, "No, you listen, do you have any idea how worried we were. How many times did we cry? Your Mother didn't eat her food"

After we finished speaking for almost two hours, I felt so good that I could clear the misunderstanding and the doubt. But we never spoke about my ex-husband and his family, it was almost a taboo topic.

"Please stay here for tonight Rose, your mother and I don't want you to leave early"

"Please, rose I understand you have work but please for today," Violet said to me.

I stay, like in childhood, I share my room with Violet where we use to sleep-over in one other place.

"Violet, are you sleeping?"

"No"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes, go ahead?"

"Why are you marrying my brother?" I said in one breath.

"I knew you will ask me that. Guess what, I win the bet know your brother has to take me to a candlelight dinner"

"What you guys keep a bet on me?"

"Yeah, duh".

"Nevermind how did you guys agree, I felt betrayed by you ~" I cut.

"the betrayal you say... I was betrayed, your brother, your parents ... we were betrayed by you"

"Violet please it was not easy especially leaving you all... It's heartbreaking"

Violet took a deep breath, "Let's just forget it... So, it all started with you running and leaving behind the message".

"Seriously, I don't know what to think," she cut off.

"Wait, let me start I am telling you how we first fought. You know that your brother and I did not talk much maybe hi, bye, Good Morning, good afternoon and is my friend Rose home? that all we spoke or I spoke to him weird but I don't know what to say."

Flashback

Violet Point of View ~

I received Roses message I quickly called her parents, but they didn't pick up the call.

I had no other choice to find Abdon f*******: page, send him a friend request and slide into his dm.

Now to think about it, I felt like such a weird person, I didn't have my best friends brothers phone number.
