Chapter 124 - Standing In The Wrong Situation

The warm air suddenly dimmed, the bright clouds turned dark, raindrops began to fall and touched the shoulders, as if nature understood the current situation.

The man who worked as a crew member knelt, he dropped his two knees on the ground, he folded his arms between his thighs, tears welled up in his eyes, sadness was evident in his eyes.

"Selena..." he mumbled in a voice so deep and hoarse that he couldn't say anything but silence. He lowered his head, unable to lift his head, he looked very hurt.

Vira took a deep breath so that her shoulders looked shook, she turned to her husband who was running from the direction of the car, Vino spread an umbrella to protect his wife from the rain.

When he noticed the crew kneeling on one of the tombs, he was so shocked that he almost forgot to lift the black umbrella in his hand.

When Vino read the name on the tombstone, he was speechless, his lips parted but not a word came out of his mouth.

--is she the same woman? Vino's inner voice was questioning, he was still doubtful but sadness had overshadowed his face.

Vira took the umbrella from her husband's hand, she intended to protect her husband's sadness at this time.

"Sir, is she, is--" Vino swallowed his saliva, his lips trembled, he couldn't believe he saw this tomb, he couldn't believe that the contents of this tomb were the woman who made him stand so strong today.

"Yes, she was Selena, she works at a beach resort owned by the Broto family, she is very beautiful and cheerful, she was full of love and affection but--" the crew's shoulders shook harder, he could no longer continue his stammered sentences, his tears flowed down his forehead touching the foundation of the tomb, he prostrated on the tomb he loved so much.

Vira bit her lip, something throbbed in her heart, it hurt and was tight but she didn't understand why it was because of her early pregnancy? Maybe, but she couldn't stop staring at the gravestone that had Selena's name and date of birth, and date of death on it.

"She died a long time ago, twenty years have passed..." Vira's voice mumbled and only she could hear, her thick saliva made the palate and tongue stick together, there was a burden, sadness, pain that she felt but she couldn't explain.

"Sir .." Vira's voice sounded hoarse and heavy, she reached out her hand to touch the shoulders of the crew who were still shaking with sadness.

--Stop crying like that, you make me unable to hold back my tears. Vira's voice caught in her heart.

Bruck!

the sound of something falling behind their backs.

When they turned their heads, the three of them were surprised to see familiar faces.

Andrew, who was carrying Sarah's bag was surprised to see Vino here. Die me! His mind cursed.

Vira raised her eyebrows, who felt very sad suddenly turned annoyed to see Sarah's face, she turned to her husband who looked tense.

-- you purposely set this trap for me! Vira thought with anger etched on her reddened face.

Sarah doesn't care about Vira or Vino, she also doesn't care about the big bouquet that falls on her feet, she was shocked, her eyes heated up, she cried and ran.

"Daddy!" she screamed in a trembling voice, she caught the shoulder of the man kneeling on the grave, she hugged him tightly, tears falling on the crew's t-shirts.

Sarah hugged tightly while crying and then hitting the man's back.

"Dad, Dad! what have you done, why did you disappear, why are you like this, dad… dad… do you remember me, do you remember your daughter, do you recognize me, dad…" The two continued to scream and cry, her tears unstoppable, she didn't care again with her face, with her makeup she continued to beat the body chasing the middle-aged crew.

Jonathan, yes, the man who has sailed for a long time and rarely lands was Jonathan, he has been missing for decades and hopes all the memories in his head are erased, but when he decides to return to the mainland, Vino's photo still reminds him of Selena, in the end, those memories never left his memory.

Vino was surprised to hear Sarah's words, he tried to touch Sarah's shoulder but the woman didn't care.

Vino's attitude made Vira's face grow even more furious.

-- I was wrong to be here! She gripped the handle of the umbrella tightly as if her hand would break the handle.

"Sarah, what are you saying, is he your father? Is the--" Vino was very curious but the only answers he got were screams and sobs from Sarah.

Vino did not understand this situation, he had met Sarah's mother several times in the past and the woman who had a body and stature similar to Sarah was not named Selena, Vino was confused.

Vino's Confusion.

Vira's Wrath.

Andrew's fear.

Sarah's sorrow.

all mingled under the rain that afternoon.

Jonathan eased his sobs a little, he looked very whiny and weak, not fit for his handsome and muscular skin, he was already middle-aged but his handsome and dashing figure was still clearly visible on his face and body.

Jonathan was silent looking at the woman who was beside him, it was clear his eyes were shaking and teary, he was crying once again, he grabbed Sarah's shoulders and hugged her daughter tightly, as tight as possible as if he didn't want to let go of her daughter again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive this cowardly and stupid father of yours, forgive the mistakes of my life, forgive all my stupidity." He whispered in a deep voice, the two of them hugging each other tightly with tears in their eyes.

Vira pulled her hair and wiped, to the back of her head, she felt her head throb, this atmosphere made her burdened, she glanced at her husband's face who couldn't stop staring at Sarah and Jonathan.

"Are you making all of this on purpose, are you setting me up, am I just a statue to you, do you want me to see how Sarah found her father and you'll congratulate her." Vira hissed in annoyance, she looked at her husband's face full of confusion.

Vino furrowed his brows, he looked back at his wife, then he grabbed Vira's palm. "We'd better get out of here," Vino said.

but Vira threw her husband's hand violently, she turned around and left this strange moment.

--he arranged all this, he reasoned to look for the woman in the photo, he pretended to be acquainted with the crew, they were very close even though they just met, then he trapped me in this grave, even though he recognized Sarah's mother, he deliberately played me. He lied to me. What does all this mean! Why is he doing all this! Vira was trapped in her thoughts.

"Vira, wait!" Vino jogged after his wife in the rain.

He passed Andrew who pulled a fearful smile.

"Just watch out, we're not done yet!" Vino hissed furiously.

Andrew pulled a stiff smile on his lips, he already knew he would hear this threat from Vino but he would surrender, he was wrong. He lowered his head while sighing heavily, hah! The work was very heavy and burdensome.

But when he saw Sarah who was crying to the point of hiccuping, he felt less burdened, at least he could see Sarah's honest face after that day, the day Sarah poured out her past story, the day Andrew believed that Sarah would get better in the future.

"Vira, Vira, wait a minute honey, you can't leave me!" Vino shouted as he reached out and hoped to catch his wife's shoulder.

When his hand got to Vira's shoulder, his wife once again stomped her body, releasing her husband's hand.

"Vira, you can't just walk away, we have to know what the situation is, give me time to hear all this. I'll just ask for half an hour, how about it?" Vino tries to compromise with his wife.

--just say that you still want to see her face, just say that you still miss her, say everything clearly so that I don't get irritated and jealous, you arranged all this so that you could meet Sarah as if by accident, you fooled me!

Vira struggled with her inner voice, thinking about the closeness between Vino and Sarah made her chest heavy and tight, the same feeling when she saw Jonathan kneeling on the grave.

Vira touched her chest, she tried to regulate her breath.

"Honey .." Vino called his wife in a soft tone, he tried to calm his wife who suddenly stopped walking.

Bruck!

The umbrella fell upside down, catching the heavy rain and creating a puddle.

Vino caught the back of his wife who had fallen, he hugged Vira tightly, his chest skipped beating for a moment, his face looked very panicked.

"Vira, Vira!" he shouted, calling his wife's name.

"Kim!! Andrew!!" Vino's voice raced the sound of lightning that shadowed the sky.

The rain was getting heavier.

Jonathan and Sarah's sadness was getting real.

Nature sheds all the tears that have been stored, and can no longer be damned.

Vira was unconscious.
