Chapter Twenty Eight
Mrs. Bonifacio
I can’t take it anymore, it’s been three months since Marrisa left and we haven’t heard from her, it’s killing and giving me sleepless nights already I can’t take this anymore
“Darling…..” I look back to see my husband walking down the stairs, I sighed and wiped my tears, I don’t want him to get worried too, since he loves Rissa so much he hasn’t been sleeping for days cause of this same matter
He sat beside me and folded his two hands looking worried, I didn’t look at him because I didn’t want him to see my tears
“Come here, it’s okay to cry I’m here you don’t have to get shy” He whispered into my ear relaxing my head on his shoulders, I couldn’t take it anymore, the tears I was holding finally trial down my cheeks
I cried out my eyes hugging my sweet husband tightly like he’s running away from me
“She’s just a baby who’s in love, my sweetheart does not deserve any of the things that’s happening to her”
“It’s okay, she will be fine” He muttered caressing my back
“But I’m worried why haven’t we heard from her?” I asked raising my head from his shoulders
“Maybe she doesn’t need any disturbance, lets have fate in her”
“No, I can’t” I stood up immediately pacing around the living room while my husband watched in confusion
“You have to take it easy”
“No when my daughter hasn’t called me for three months, her lines have been switched off for a month nobody has heard of her, for peter’s sake my poor daughter is pregnant I don’t even know where she is right now” I knelt down on the floor feeling pains
“Sweetheart…..” My husband rushed toward me and hold me in his arms
“She promised to call immediately she get to Mexico, what happened?”
“I think I should send some of my men to investigate and see if they can trial her”
“You will?”
“She’s my daughter too, I might not be crying on the outside but I’m worried about my daughter too”
“Thank you, George” I muttered wrapping my arms around him and engulfing him in a warm embrace,
“You don’t have to thank me, honey, she’s my daughter and I think it’s time we start searching for her”
He helped me up on my feet and lead me upstairs, he helped me lay on the bed and covered me with the duvet
He made to go when I suddenly held onto his hand
“Where are you going?” I asked feeling the need to have him beside me
“I need to make some important calls immediately, I want my men to start the search with immediate effect”
“Alright….” I smile nodding my head
“Be fine…” He walked toward me and kissed me on the forehead before he left.
I sighed trying my best not to breakdown again, I look at the bedside table and see Marrisa’s photo frame staring at me
“My baby…..” I called and took hold of the photo caressing the frame.
I remembered how happy she was when I told her about Roberts parent’s proposal, she was so excited, all she ever did was love that monster but all he gave my poor daughter was pain and misery, not for once did he ever appreciate her, and irrespective of all of that all my daughter did was to love him and now…. she’s caught up in a situation and nobody is there for her,
I know I persuaded her into going back, I should have left my baby to stay when she came back, maybe she wouldn’t have been so heartbroken.
I miss her so much, I know how much she loved him even from childhood, I thought maybe if she showed him more love he would see her sincerity, but I was wrong
I miss my daughter so much, I miss her…..
I was starting to feel dizzy, my eyes were starting to close on their own. I held my daughter’s picture and hugged it to my chest, holding it tightly. I slept off.
I woke up with the blaring sound of my cell phone, I sat up and smiled when I saw how right I hugged onto Marrisa’s picture, I dropped the frame back on the table and took my phone to see Mrs. Declan calling.
I didn’t want to pick up the call, I dropped the phone back on the table but it started ringing again, I picked up the phone and swiped on the green icon
“Hi dear friend”
“We stopped being friends the moment your son broke my daughter’s heart”
“Luciana I know what Robert did was wrong, and trust me I’m never in support of his attitude please don’t allow this to affect our friendship”
“Our friendship was already affected, because of your son’s stupendous act my daughter’s life is at stake, I don’t even know if she’s allowed alive, god forbid something happens to my daughter mark my word Mrs. Emelda Declan we will remain life enemies”
“Luciana……” She made to talk but I already hung up the phone, tears blurred my vision but I manage to blink them back
“I have to be strong for my daughter, I have to be strong for my poor baby, she’s going to be another soon and no one is there for her, it’s all my fault I forced her to go back” I cried weeping profusely.
“Come on sweetheart though we’re over this” My husband rushed toward me
“Any news….?” I asked with rare of hope
“I spoke with my private investigator, they are working on it already we just have to be hopeful”
“They better find my daughter George, else first thing tomorrow morning I’m flying to Mexico”
“I’m not allowing you to do that, you have to calm down”
I stood up angrily, wiping my tears,
“I’m a mother George, you don’t expect me to sit back and watch while my daughter is missing with no trace, she’s pregnant and needs me right now”
“Do you think I don’t care? She’s also my daughter and I love her….!”
“You know nothing George, I carried her for nine months, I went through hell in the labor room. I gave birth to her with nobody’s help, she’s my life don’t you understand….!”
I scream losing my senses already
“It’s okay, calm down” My husband kissed my forehead hugging me right
“I miss her so much…..” I cried, feeling exhausted.
