Damian was nervous as he waited for the doctor to take care of Ella inside. He was walking around and was restless. The woman had been inside for several hours but had not heard anything. He sat down, and after a few minutes stood up again. Silently, he prayed that Ella and the child would be alright. He sighed several times while waiting for a good result.
When he saw the doctor come out, he immediately approached him and asked. “How is he, Doc?”
“She’s fine, but she has a miscarriage. I’m sorry, “the doctor said and tapped her on the shoulder.
Damian almost punched the hospital wall because of what he found out. It was her fault why they lost their daughter Ella. If only he had sorted out his quarrel with Monique right away, it wouldn’t have ended like this. Can the woman still forgive him? Her brain was confused as she thought of a good thing to do on how to make up for Ella because she was sure it wouldn’t bother her.
Damian waited for Ella to be transferred to a private room, and then he called Rebecca to go to the hospital in the morning because she had a walk. The nurse told her that they needed to put Ella to sleep because she went crazy when she found out what happened about the child.
He sat down on Ella’s side and grabbed her hand. “Sweetheart, I’m sorry.” Damian repeatedly apologized to the woman. Even if it makes him bald in anger, it’s okay with him because he’s really at fault for Ella. If he hadn’t let go of his emotions and hadn’t accepted her challenge to hold Monique accountable, it wouldn’t have been captured.
Damian was overwhelmed with anger as he remembered how much Monique had sinned against him. Because of the woman, she and Ella have lost their child and there is still a possibility that Ella will also lose her. He admitted that he was also at fault and it was not right for him to blame Monique for everything, but it all started when Monique thought of cheating on him. He waited for the woman to wake up but he had fallen asleep waiting.
When Damian woke up, he felt pain in his back because he had fallen asleep in the chair while holding Ella’s hand. He looked at the time and it was close to six o’clock. Anytime Rebecca will come so that it will be the first to watch over Ella. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash and brush. When he came out of the bathroom, he was surprised because Rebecca had arrived. “Man, I think it’s your morning.” He said to the old man.
“I couldn’t sleep last night because I was worried about you two,” Rebecca replied. He wanted to go when the woman was taken to the hospital but Damian refused. “How’s Ella?”
“Let’s just wait for him to wake up,” Damian said, and then he said goodbye to Rebecca who had something to take care of first.
“Trust me, where are you really going? At Monique’s house? ” Rebecca wonders where Damian is going because she can’t believe it in case he says that the ospina is his destination.
“I’ll be right back,” Damian said and avoided Rebecca’s question.
Fifteen minutes later, Damian parked his car in front of Monique’s family home. It’s a small bungalow with a blue roof and white exterior paint. He immediately went down and looked for the woman. “Morning Tita, can I talk to Monique?” He didn’t let the old woman down the anger in his voice because it had nothing to do with what Monique had done to him.
“Come on, Damian. Come in first, what were you two arguing about and Monique ran away? ” Monique’s mother inquired.
“Where is he?” He asked the lady again.
“Eat breakfast. Come with us because I cooked fried fish early. ”
Damian was suddenly hungry when he heard about the tinned fish because he had tasted Monique’s mother’s cooking several times and he had nothing to criticize about it. Also, when the fish is fresh its broth is even sweeter, and perfect pairing with rice in the morning. “Not anymore.. Please tell Monique to come out for a moment, “Damian declined the lady’s invitation.
“It’s up to you, just a moment and I’ll call my son.” It said and re -entered the house.
After a while, Monique came out of the house. She was wearing house clothes and had messy hair. Maybe her conscience didn’t put her to sleep either because the girl’s eyes were swollen.
Damian didn’t expect Monique to kneel in front of him again and he ignored the pebbles on the ground. “I am not a god for you to worship,” he said in a low voice.
“Damian, forgive me!” cried Monique apologizing to the man. Last night she was still upset because of what she had done but she couldn’t accept to herself that she and Damian were gone.
“Have some self-respect! Don’t you feel sorry for your parents? Look at them, “he said angrily to Monique so the woman briefly looked at her parents who were watching in the distance.
Monique thinks something bad happened to Ella because Damian was so mad at her. He bit his lip slightly in fear. “Damian, how is he? What happened to the child? ”
“After you push him down the stairs, you have no right to say hello to him!” Damian scolded the woman.
“Tell me how you can forgive me and I will do everything,” Monique pleaded with Damian. In all his life, it was the first time he had seen Damian so angry.
Damian took a deep breath and helped Monique to her feet. It is not good to see him kneeling in front of him because he is not God. “Stay away. Go to a place where I can’t even see your shadow, “said Damian. “I don’t care where you want to go, just don’t come back here!”
Monique cried because Damian didn’t know how to joke. “I can’t leave my parents Damian, they’re old.” She pleaded with the man.
He shouted at Monique. “I’ll only forgive you for what you did if you leave and never show up to me or Ella again.” Damian added.
“Is that the only way Damian? How are my parents? We are not rich like you and it is not easy to move to another place, “Monique explained.
Damian turned his back on the woman and opened his car. He took something inside and handed it to the woman. “Is that enough or not enough?” he asked Monique.
Monique endured the embarrassment and accepted the check Damian gave her because she had no choice. He needed money to regenerate elsewhere. “Thank you,” Monique said and she looked at Damian one last time before he went back inside their house.
When Ella was released from the hospital, she first left the management of the ranch to her second in command because she wanted to personally take care of the woman. But it didn’t happen because Ella didn’t touch him. He just fit in cooking his favorite foods and patiently waited when the woman was ready to talk to him and notice him.
Damian did everything to make Ella forgive him. She gave it flowers every morning, cooked her favorite foods, and whatnot. Damian is desperate because it’s only been a week since he came out of the hospital but Ella still ignores him. Every time they reach out to the garden or maybe in the kitchen, the reflection on his face is always blank and he doesn’t want to be ignored.
Once, he thought of contacting his idol Michael Ragusta and maybe he will seduce him. Unfortunately, Michael was out of the country and he wouldn’t be back for a month. Damian is confused because he can’t think of anything else he can do to seduce Ella. He was stressed too much because of what had happened.
“Damian! Hey, Damian! ”
Damian was surprised to hear Rebecca’s voice that seemed to have good news. He smiled and immediately approached the old man. “What did he say? Will he talk to me? ” Damian asked Rebecca.
“Yes, and she said it’s time, so go right away and maybe that woman will change her mind.” Said Rebecca. He’s actually stuck in two, and he thinks Damian will have a hard time with Ella because the woman has changed a lot since filming it.
“Thank you Rebecca, but where am I going? In her room or in the garden? ” Damian made sure because he didn’t want to waste time.
“In the garden,” Rebecca replied.
Damian nodded and then said goodbye to the old man. As he made his way to their garden, he began to tremble. He didn’t let go of his passion and forced himself to calm down.
He stopped walking for a moment and silently watched the woman sitting in the middle of the garden. Her long hair was ponytailed and from her vantage point she noticed she was wearing a head seat. As he watched Ella from a distance, Damian wished he had just had the headset.
He walked again and when he reached the bench where Ella was sitting, he leaned over it. “I miss you,” he said but the woman just frowned before removing the headset from her ear.
“What did you say?” Ella asked Damian because she hadn’t heard it before.
“I said, you’re beautiful today.” The language is Damian.
“Thank you, but I’ve known for a long time that I’m beautiful.” Ella’s statement.
“Are you still mad at me?” Damian no longer wandered around and asked the woman about his true feelings for her.
“I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem like it. It’s not your fault why Monique pushed me down the stairs, “Ella said. “Anyway, that’s why I want to talk to you because I’ll say goodbye.” He also spent a few days thinking carefully about what he planned to do.
“Where are you going? Do you have a job interview outside Victorias? Do you want to go with me? ”
“I want to find myself first,” he said.
He just stared at the woman and couldn’t speak. Did he hear right? He was suddenly worried that by the time Ella finds herself she will be the one to forget the woman. “What about me?” he asked.
“You’ll be fine,” Ella replied.
“How can I be okay without you? Can’t I join you in finding yourself? ” Damian pleaded with Ella.
“Nope. I’d like to do it alone. ” She insisted.
“Ella, no! Let’s talk about it nicely, okay? I know you are very angry with me, but sweetheart, I will die when you leave. ” Damian said in a rasping voice.
“I’ve made up my mind, Damian and I’m leaving tomorrow.” Ella said in a calm voice. It hurts for her to see Damian struggle, but she thinks she needs to distance herself from the man first to be sure of her feelings. His brain and heart are still confused, while Damian is full of remorse. He didn’t want to force it to be sweet to him because it was just guilty.
“You’re cruel,” Damian said and stood up first.
When the man left, Ella let her tears flow. Not only was Damian hurt, he was as well. Did the man think he wanted to leave? No! He didn’t want to, but he had to! He had to get away first so they could have space and peace of mind. She decided to leave her love life to the poor first. If Damian and I were really destined for each other, they would meet and meet again.
She wiped away her tears and went back inside the house. He went straight to his room and started packing things. He has not yet chosen a place to go, however, he will still leave the next day.
For the nth time, she tried to contact Sofia but the woman’s phone remained unreachable. He started to worry for his friend because he didn’t know where it was. He was afraid of being alone but he had to be strong for himself. When he was shot, that’s what opened his eyes that his life shouldn’t revolve around Damian alone. She’s young, beautiful, and there’s so much goodness to explore!
It was almost midnight and she was already in bed when Ella decided to do something risky and naughty.
He got up from his bed and took off his sleeping bag. He then put on his clothes, left the room and knocked on Damian’s door. She didn’t know if the man was still awake but she tried anyway.
“Do you need anything?”
He was dumbfounded when he saw Damian wearing only boxer shorts and obviously just waking up. “Yes. You, “Ella replied and spontaneously entered Damian’s room.
