His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 25: One Difficult Request
-=Ang's Point of View=-I felt so disoriented when I woke up because of my phone ringing, the ringing continued telling me that it might be something important or maybe a persistent telemarketer who wanted to hit his or her quota, and if it was the latter, that person would be in big trouble.I didn't dare to open my eyes and just tried to touch the top of my bed where I remembered putting my phone, and luckily the vibration from my phone helped to find it."Hello?" I asked in a groggy kind of way.My eyes were still closed when I answered the phone, so I didn't know who was calling.Waking up with a hangover is not a great experience, but I needed to drink in order for me to momentarily numb the pain I was feeling for not being able to be with the woman I love."Hello, Ang, we need to talk."I felt suddenly awake as I opened my eyes in disbelief, looking at my cell phone since I answered the call, and Miranda's name on the caller ID only confirmed the truth that Miranda called me.It
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 26: Let Him Go
-=Miranda's Point of View=-Ang looked dumbfounded as he kept looking at me with disbelief on his face, but the emotions that followed hurt me deeply when I saw his pain."Do you despise me that much that you want me to disappear from your life?" he asked, his voice filled with so much bitterness.I tried to resist the impulse to cry at the sight of its anguish because I needed to; I didn't want the day to come when he realized he didn't really love me and merely felt sorry for what he had done to me. "Believe it or not, Ang, but I don't despise you. I'm doing this for you because I know how important this opportunity is to you, and the only reason you didn't want to take this responsibility was because of me, and I didn't want you to do that," I said."I can't leave, Miranda, I love you," he said in his heartfelt voice, making me waiver, but before I could completely change my mind, I reminded myself what I think is the best for Ang."I want you to be sure of what you really feel fo
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 27: A Child
-=Miranda's Point of View=-"Mommy Mira!" I heard a small voice. coming from the outside of my office, and even without looking, I recognized that voice anywhere, besides, there was only one person who would call me mommy.A wide smile appeared on my lips when I heard the door to my office open, followed by little footsteps, and excited shrill from a little girl."Angeline..." I greeted her with a warm smile, as she happily ran towards me with her little feet.Sister Lita smiled as she watched the little girl run as quickly as her small feet could carry her. I opened my arms wide, eagerly awaiting her approach, and as soon as she walked into my reach, I wrapped her in a big hug, causing a cheerful giggle from her lips. "How's my baby doing?" I asked."I'm good," she replied, showing a wide grin that showed her bunny-liked front two teeth.It was amazing that even at her young age, she could already speak fluently.I decided to stop what I was doing, so I could spend time with her, w
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 28: The Outcome
-=Miranda's Point of View=-The appearance of Henry Cervantes and his wife, Ellise, changes the way we usually celebrate the anniversary of the orphanage.Considering that more than seventy percent of the donations we were getting came from him, it would only be reasonable to extend mo effort with how we are going to celebrate this year's anniversary.I made sure to oversee every procedure, and everything that had something to do with the event, from the decoration to the catering, to the sound system, and the entertainment, I wanted everything to be flawless.In all fairness, even if it was just a regular anniversary, I don't settle for anything less, and while some may think it's fine, it isn't enough for me, and I'll make sure to improve it numerous times. Maybe I was a perfectionist, maybe not, but I didn't want to feel embarrassed if they thought my work was bad or half-baked, especially since it was Henry Cervantes's first time attending this event.We only had two weeks to pre
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 29: Game Over
-=Miranda's Point of View=-I entered my room completely drained after that event. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I made it through without breaking down. But now that I was alone, tears welled up in my eyes again, the pain I felt was so intense, that it felt like I was struggling to breathe."Ang..." I wasn't even sure if that name came out of my lips, or if it just stayed at the back of my mind.The way Ang spoke to me served as a terrible reminder; he spoke to me in an unattached tone, as if he were speaking to someone who was not even a part of their lives, which greatly hurt me. Ang's presence completely caught me off guard, and I wasn't able to react right away, but the yearning in my heart intensified and I had to stop myself from walking towards him to beg for another chance.A chance I had longed for over the last two years, a possibility that Ang would return and tell me that over these years, his feelings for me didn't faze and he truly loved me, but that seemed impossibl
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 30: Let Him Go
-=Miranda's Point of View=-When can you truly say it's enough, that the game is over? It's difficult to let go because you believe that what he felt back then is still real today. My thoughts are in disarray, and my heart is crushed, as the image of what I witnessed in the parking lot earlier replays in my mind. It's so difficult to accept that the person you loved and waited for so long is now happy with someone else. Tears flowed endlessly from my eyes, and I had only myself to blame. And now I've missed out on the opportunity to continue my past relationship with Ang. No matter how hard I think, there is no way to answer my question regarding a possible future with him because he already belongs to someone else. Someone who he really loves, and someone who loves him, and with that in mind, my heart hurt even more.I kept driving without a destination in mind. I just wanted to get away from that place. How many times have I almost been in an accident because my mind was not fo
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 1: Broker Man
-=Ang's Point of View=-I can't believe that it's been a month now since I bottled myself up to the loneliness I was feeling after losing the woman I love. It pains me to set her free, but I have to, I needed to let her be with the man she really loves, the man who truly owns her heart, which is not me, unfortunately.Some people say that I was too nice for my own good and that I let important people in my life be happy and well, but that's just how it is, right?When you love someone, you want them to be happy, even if it hurts you. What matters is their well-being.Maybe I'm bordering on being a martyr, but that's just how I am, even when I was young.My feet felt heavy as I stood up from my bed, but the darkness of my room didn't hinder me because I knew every corner of that room, I chose to go out and headed straight to the wine cellar to get some alcohol because I ran out of what I took the other day.As I left the room, it was a good thing that no one greeted me, which suited me
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 2: Need To Clean Up My Act
-=Ang's Point of View=-"How long will you keep yourself locked up in sadness, Ang?!" My mom angrily said this to me when she entered my room that morning.To be honest, I don't know how long it's been since I let go of Atilla from my life, but even so, everything still hurts as if it happened just yesterday."Just leave me alone," I answered lifelessly. I woke up to her angry voice and was about to grab the bottle of alcohol by my bedside when she aggressively knocked it out of my hand, causing it to shatter."You want me to leave you alone? It's as if you're saying that I'm a useless mother," she said with pain in her voice. I couldn't stop the guilt from rising in my chest, especially since I knew I was becoming unfair."I'm sorry..." I said it weakly, feeling her concern for me."Ang, please think about it. We're here; we're your family, so we're ready to help you. Please don't push us away," my mom said as tears flowed freely from her eyes."I'm really sorry, Mom. I'm sorry for k
