CHAPTER 6- REPENTANCE

1205 Words
LUKE Three weeks have passed since the woman who was supposed to be his wife disappeared like a bubble. The only woman he will give his name to and the mother of his children. He was sitting on their favorite spot inside the resort where they often hang out. He was leaning against the talisay tree while overlooking the ocean. He misses everything about her. He misses her face, her smile, her sweetness and her kisses. He misses her beauty like an angel that any man would be charmed by. He smiled as he thought about how he met her. It used to cry while leaning against a tree. In the distance he could see how beautiful the crying girl was. It's just a simple outfit but it's a different kind of beauty from the old one. He knows how innocent the bride is. She knows that he is the only man in her life. That's why she loves her boyfriend so much because she knows that he keeps himself for her. "Why did you leave me Jam. You didn't even let me explain!" he shouted on the beach as he reached for the wine in his hand. Not a day goes by that he is not drunk. Day or night he drank alone. It is not unknown to him what is the reason why the girl left suddenly. The guard of his condo said that the girl was from his pad. He knew that Jamilla saw what he and Trisha were doing at that time. He was tempted by the flirtatious secretary and he regretted it. He's only human, not perfect. Mistakes are also made. "Jamilla please forgive me! Pls come back!" he shouted with all his strength. He felt his shoulders shaking. He felt tears running down his face. Since the bride left, he did not enter the office. His daddy was the one who temporarily managed the company. He doesn't know if he can move on. Maybe he can't live without Jamilla. For three long years this has been his support when he has problems. This is the reason why he is inspired at work. He closed his eyes and tried to remember her kiss. Every kiss he gave her was full of love. He pinched himself with a punch to the chest. "Stupid... You really are stupid!" He took the cellphone and looked at the cover photo of the two of them on f*******:. It was a collage of their 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversary. He scrolled down his profile and his last post tagging her. He posted it two days after she left. He read his post again and again, it was the caption of his favorite poem that he got online. My everything You're my love, my life The air I breathe You're my soul, my happiness All that I need You're my light, my dark The stars in the sky You're my ups, my downs The reason I try You're my strength, my weakness The love from the start You're my heartache, my pain The beat of my heart You're my tears, my joy The love that you bring You're my world, my galaxy You're my everything He didn't realize that his face was wet with tears. Regardless of the people passing by looking at her while crying. He misses his babe so much. Jamila He stopped for a moment while entering the rented apartment. "Soonoog!" screams of people in the courtyard. "Man, where's the fire? What's burning?" He asked the man hysterically. "The a-apartment is on fire!" mom answered. Suddenly his chest heaved. The closer he got to the apartment, the more his knees shook. He seemed to want to fall because of the scene he was watching. The apartment he was renting was on fire. It was obvious that the fire was extinguished. Not long after, three fire trucks arrived but it was too late because only ashes remained. In the other store he saw the old woman who was his friend. He approached her and hugged her. They both cried. The apartment was gone and not even a single thing was left of him. "Aling Mameng, let's be strong," he said to the old man while hugging him. It wasn't long before his granddaughter arrived who was the same age as him. "Jam.. Grandma and I are going home to the province first!" said Aling Mameng's grandson. "S sge Laine.. Be careful. Take care of your grandmother!" "How about you Mother?" the old man said to her. He hugged her again "Don't worry.. God has mercy and I can take care of myself. Aling Mameng I will miss you." he said. In fact, he is already weak. It's like he can't hold on anymore. He just doesn't want to show his weakness to other people even though deep in his heart he is already broken. He rubbed his stomach. "Baby..... Just stick close, we'll fight!" Somehow Jam has a certain strength. His son. This is the reason why he does not give up and will never give up. "For the time being, stay at the school while you look for a place to move." Captain's announcement to those affected by the fire. Many helped them. Most are just neighbors. They were also given clothes, blankets and food. The barangay officials also take good care of them. Someone from the municipality came and gave financial aid. It was difficult to sleep on the floor and it was quite hot inside the classroom they occupied but he just endured it. He couldn't sleep and His spirit was still wide awake that night. How is he now? Only a bag and a little money were left with him. How will he take care of the child in the womb? The doctor said she needs to be strong for her baby. But he doesn't have a job yet. And the little savings might not be enough until she gives birth. Was he really born unlucky? Grow up without parents. The boyfriend left. A stranger got pregnant. And now even his son will be as lazy as he is? Noooo! He will not agree! He will not let what happened to him happen to his son. "Promise son you will not suffer." he whispered in his mind. It's up to tomorrow! His only words as he closed his eyes and fell asleep completely! The next day he woke up because of a noise outside. There are media that are interviewing those who were burned. There are also victims who are asking for help. He thought of taking a shower before going out. Some LGUs also provide food. Just looking at the scene outside, he wanted to get dizzy so he decided to eat inside the classroom. Someone brought him a packed lunch. He opened his bag to get the wallet when he noticed a white paper and a card. "If you need me, just give me a call." He remembered what the stranger said that night. He closed his eyes. "I'm going to hide my face for you son!" And an idea came to his mind. This is the only way for him to give the child a good life.
