Meanwhile, Lorena attended the party, and she just sat in the left corner. She could only see Alberto’s happiness with Professor Vega that day.
She knows that Alberto is very happy with Professor Vega. Their actions showed their happiness. So, Alberto won’t need Lorena anymore.
Those things made Lorena feel sad and she felt that she couldn’t hold her tears again, but she didn’t want Alberto to know she was sad. After all, no one will care about Lorena’s sadness at that time. Because of that, earlier she chose to be silent and enjoy the food at that wedding party alone in the corner.
Another reason is because Lorena’s mother said last night to Lorena, “If you really love Alberto, you must feel happy too because he is already happy! Isn’t love a must-have? You need someone to love. There are a lot of cases in the world where they can’t have their loved ones, and they’re fine with that reality.”
Indeed, so Alberto’s pleasure must have made her feel happy, even a little, because she loves him. However, her heart actually feels unwilling and she can’t accept the truth.
Indeed, it’s Lorena’s fault. Why did Lorena even come to their wedding?
She shouldn’t come. Those things that Lorena thought and regretted.
If Lorena didn’t want to see their happiness, she shouldn’t have been at their wedding. However, the rice had become porridge, and she couldn’t do anything except go home or choose to stay in that place.
Lorena was feeling very sad. Not long after, Lorena’s tears started to trickle down her face.
Alberto saw Lorena feeling very sad and crying. At that moment, Alberto immediately ran towards Lorena.
When he was near Lorena, he immediately held Lorena’s hand, but Lorena immediately let go of Alberto’s hand. After that, Alberto tried to hold Lorena’s hand again and looked at her with a sincere look. Lorena looked at Alberto’s hand and she asked Alberto’s purpose for doing that.
“What’s for?” Lorena asked quietly.
Indeed, all of that no longer means anything to Lorena. They can’t be together forever.
So, why did Alberto hold Lorena’s hand? Does Alberto want to start a relationship again from scratch?
That is never going to happen! Everything has been destroyed! Everything they have done and lived so far is meaningless.
Alberto immediately frowned because he didn’t understand the meaning of Lorena’s words. Lorena immediately looked at Alberto’s hand.
She intended to code that the intent of the question was regarding the purpose of Alberto’s hand grip. Alberto also looked at Lorena’s glance, and soon he understood the meaning of Lorena’s question.
“I love you, honey.” Alberto expressed that he loves Lorena.
“You’re lying!” Lorena shouted, which made the atmosphere of the event instantly quiet, and all the guests looked at them. At that time, there wasn’t Professor Vega, because Professor Vega was finding Alberto.
“No, Honey. I really love you. I really care about you.” Alberto tried to convince Lorena that he still loves her.
“If you say that you care about me, that’s true, but you only care about me as a friend. Nothing more!” said Lorena.
“No! I love you with all my heart.” Alberto tried to convince Lorena again.
“There’s no more love from you to me, honey. You don’t love me anymore. You have changed. You’re not like you used to be,” Lorena complained. Lorena’s tears were falling harder.
“No. I love you.” Alberto shook his head.
“Then Alberto, please give me all of your times today, please!” Lorena mentioned her suggestion.
“What’s for?” Alberto asked why Lorena asked for these conditions.
“To accompany me all day. Just for today, please!” asked Lorena spoiltly.
“After that, you will marry Vega, and we can’t be together anymore. If you love me, you can give your time to me. I know and realize my mistake. I know that when we were dating, I rarely fulfilled your desires and we were together like this. Not only that, we rarely had sex because I was too focused on my studies.” Lorena explained her reason for asking Alberto to fulfill her wish.
“Honey, it’s my wedding day. How can I be together with you all day?” Alberto asked why Lorena had asked this.
“That’s easy. Just leave your wedding party for me now!” Lorena mentioned the ways.
“Don’t you want us to be together until I have to leave my study time and leave the time for doing my homework only for you?” Lorena quipped at Alberto’s behavior in the past, when he blamed her because she was too busy with her studies.
“To study and do homework, you can still do it later. Now I’m married! How can I leave my marriage to accompany you all day? Every husband and wife in this world are married on their wedding day! I have to accompany Professor Vega today!” Alberto protested.
“Well! That means you prefer Vega to me.” Lorena was annoyed with Alberto’s behavior. Lorena crossed her arms.
“It doesn’t like that. I have to accompany Vega because I’m her husband. There’s no way I’m running away on this wedding day! If I do that, that’s so impossible! Please understand me!” Alberto asked Lorena to understand him.
“It’s possible. Many people do that. Many people run away from their wedding party on the wedding day in order to maintain a relationship with the person that they love. The problem is only that you don’t want to be with me. That’s enough!” argued Lorena.
“It’s up to you how you think about me! I’m tired of arguing with you! You will never understand me!” Alberto felt very resigned because he felt that he could no longer argue with Lorena. Not long after, Alberto heard his name being called by someone.
“Alberto! Alberto!” called the person.
That made Alberto immediately looked at her. Then, he saw Professor Vega, who had called him.
“I’m sorry, I have to go first! I hope you can understand.” Alberto immediately excused himself to leave Lorena, and Alberto left Lorena to Professor Vega’s place.
Looking at the direction Alberto was going, Lorena saw Alberto walking towards Professor Vega. Knowing that, Lorena could only relent. “Okay!”
“Thank you for calming me down and accompanying me today!” Lorena thanked.
After that, Alberto and Professor Vega walked away from Lorena’s place to another place while they embraced each other. Professor Vega took one step away from Lorena before moving on.
After Professor Vega left, Bonita, Olivia, and Paul immediately walked closer to Lorena’s position. After being near Lorena, Bonita immediately praised Lorena’s action. “Great work!”
“Yes. That’s also great acting, Lorena!” praised Olivia.
Hearing the words of her two friends, Lorena immediately frowned because she didn’t understand what her friend meant. “What’s act?”
Lorena felt a little displeased to say that she was acting. She was really sad.
Therefore, afterwards, she said something somewhat curtly. “I was not acting. I’m feeling so sad now. How can you say that I was acting?”
“Ah! Don’t make a joke, Lorena! I know you love making a joke and you make a joke now!” teased Paul.
“I’m not kidding. I’m serious!” Lorena felt very emotional and upset. Her face turned more red.
“Are you so sad?” Bonita frowned because she couldn’t believe Lorena felt so sad. Bonita, Paul, and Olivia thought that Lorena was just acting.
“Yes. How can I lie?” Lorena spoke curtly.
“Why? You can still find him and make him yours,” whispered Bonita so that no one could hear their conversation.
“How are the ways? My parents don’t agree.” Lorena didn’t really have any idea what to do. For Lorena, if her parents don’t approve, then her relationship with Alberto is over.
“Just do the tactics that we have discussed earlier, Lorena!” Bonita explained.
“What’s for? I will never marry Alberto. My parents disapprove of my relationship with Alberto.” Lorena was feeling very angry.
“At least, you try first. If you can’t, at least you can live together with Alberto.” Bonita explained the next tactic.
Bonita’s words immediately made Lorena’s eyes bulge, and she froze for a moment. After that, he stared intently at Bonita. “What? Living together? I don’t want to do that!”
Lorena immediately left Bonita, but Bonita immediately held Lorena’s arm. That made Lorena look at Bonita.
Then Bonita inquired firmly. “Please listen to me first!”
“If you don’t live together, at least you can secretly marry Alberto, and you only inform them after they find out about your marriage from someone else. If the situation becomes like that, they will agree, even if they have to agree. Even if they don’t agree, it’s fine. Well, at least Alberto becomes your husband, right?” Bonita explained.
“Yes. That’s right.” Lorena nodded her head. She began to agree with Bonita’s opinion.
“Alright, don’t cry anymore! We should be able to act happily today in front of Professor Vega! Don’t let Professor Vega know that you are feeling sad today at his wedding! Later, she will be happy.” Bonita invited Lorena and asked her not to be sad.
“To other people, no problem. Show your sadness and talk to them about their contract marriage! Then let them decide on Professor Vega’s performance! Did you want to look so sad at Professor Vega’s wedding?” Bonita adviced.
“No. I don’t want to look sad in front of Professor Vega,” answered Lorena.
“Later, it will be suspected that you want to take Alberto. Remember! We can’t make Professor Vega suspicious of us! If she is suspicious, our plans can fail, our grades can be made bad by her, and it’s possible that she makes us repeat her courses next year. You don’t want that to happen, right?”
“Yes.” Lorena nodded her head.
“Okay. Just keep acting now!” Bonita asked as she patted Lorena.
After that, Lorena smiled. Not long after, they left that place for the main venue where the wedding party was being held.
