“But that will hurt Professor Vega’s feelings, Bonita.” That’s the real reason Lorena didn’t want to do that. Bonita immediately rolled her eyes because she was annoyed with Lorena, who actually rejected the idea outright.
“I don’t want to be like that. What will my parents and family say to me later? How do they think about me and judge me, Bonita? How will the world and my friends judge me? Of course, they’ll see me as a low-status woman,” Lorena worried if she took Bonita’s advice.
“It’s easy! Just say that Professor Vega forced Alberto to marry her. After all, their marriage was only a contract marriage, and Alberto’s love remains with you.” Bonita explained her tactic again.
“However, will my friends back me up and want to be my friends?” Lorena was skeptical that her friends would still support her and want to be her friend if she followed Bonita’s advice.
“It’s easy! We just need to spread this problem to everyone on campus. Then, we formed a gang to bully Professor Vega and Alberto. They’ll definitely want to join our gang.” Bonita conveyed her crazy tactics.
“The students in our class already hate Professor Vega, especially with issues like this Their hearts will burn, and they will even more despise Professor Vega. They can bully Professor Vega and Alberto all the way. Not only do our classmates dislike her, but so do our seniors and juniors. You can see if Professor Vega passes by! Surely they won’t think of Professor Vega.” Indeed, it is true what Bonita said. Many students on campus hate Professor Vega because he is considered a grade destroyer by students on campus.
“We have to make Professor Vega feel as sad and devastated as you’re, Lorena!” Bonita tried to provoke Lorena.
“But I really can’t do that,” Lorena complained, because she couldn’t imagine herself in Professor Vega’s shoes. Of course she doesn’t want to, because if karma turns against her, her husband will be snatched by another woman when she gets married.
“You have to be brave, and you must do that! She has the heart to destroy you, your feelings, and your relationship-until you were sick yesterday, right?” Bonita tried to convince Lorena. Because according to Bonita, Professor Vega’s behavior is out of bounds.
“What if Alberto doesn’t want to do that?” Lorena was confused, because she wasn’t sure that Alberto would want to be with her.
“You can find and try various ways to get him and make him want to be with you again, like the husband and mistress in the movies, Lorena!” Bonita suggested.
“Okay. Thanks for the advice!” Lorena couldn’t say anything except thank you because Bonita had given her the idea.
In Lorena’s heart, she didn’t agree with Bonita’s suggestion at all. She would rather let her go and let Alberto go with Professor Vega than have to be Alberto’s mistress. But what can she do? Instead of Bonita provoking her all the time, she’d better just thank her for ending their conversation.
“You’re welcome. We can do our plan later! We can talk about the gang more later!” After that, Bonita went to her chair.
Meanwhile, Lorena turned her body toward the wall. She put her hands on the table, and after that, she leaned her head on her hands. She eased all the troubles of the day. She was just silent and pensive, thinking about Bonita’s ways.
On the one hand, she really didn’t have the heart to do that. She considered how Professor Vega would react. She knew for sure that Professor Vega would definitely feel sad. Because she will undoubtedly be disappointed if Karma later turns against her.
However, on the other side, Bonita’s words are also true. Professor Vega has ruined both her feelings and her relationship with the utter ruins. Professor Vega had made Lorena sad. She remembered her happy moments with Alberto, which had all been destroyed, such as the moment when they were dating, when they had sex in the hotel before, and their other happy moments. Not long after, Lorena’s tears rolled down her face.
Everything has changed. Alberto’s heart does not contain Lorena’s name. There’s only Professor Vega’s name in his heart.
She had always dreamed of marrying Alberto after she graduated from college, but everything was destroyed because of Professor Vega and Alberto’s contract marriage. That’s why she was always more eager to learn than she was in high school. She wants to graduate soon and get married with Alberto, but that passion has disappeared. That hope has been dashed.
Her heart always wonders why Professor Vega had to come into her life and destroy the happiness in it. Indeed, the only way to destroy Professor Vega and take revenge is to follow Bonita’s tactics. However, her conscience always refused. She felt confused, and she cried even more deeply. She tried to keep his voice from being heard by her classmates, but at that moment she suddenly felt someone tap her shoulder, which had been moving up and down irregularly.
“Don’t cry! She shouldn’t know that you’re weak,” said the person who tried to comfort Lorena. Her voice was like Bonita’s voice.
Lorena immediately looked at her as she wiped her tears, and after that, she saw Bonita was the one who was trying to calm her down. She tried to hold back her tears because she was embarrassed to see herself crying, but her tears would not cooperate to stop.
Bonita immediately wiped Lorena’s tears while advising her. “You must not lose! You must win against Professor Vega! Nothing deserves to make you cry like this, Lorena!”
Not long after, Lorena’s crying stopped. Her tears were replaced with a smile that began to emerge. Lorena immediately nodded her head quickly as she agreed with Bonita’s words. Afterwards, she thanked Bonita for calming him down and supporting her.
“You’re welcome.” Bonita smiled.
“I will always be here for you.” Bonita’s words made Lorena feel even better.
