Chapter 68

“Because you are like you, I know you are a lock of sugar in your body. I understand that, but sometimes you are rude.” Claire, calm down.

“You’re mad because of that?”

Claire didn’t answer. How will she tell her that she wants to hear sweet words from him while sliding the ring on her finger?

She didn’t notice that Kiki was already on her side, and he held her hand where the wedding ring was.

“I just gave this wedding ring today because I felt this is the right to give you this.” He caresses the ring, “I know I am not the person you like, but I am working on it. I’m just scared of what will happen. I think that this has an ending. I’m scared, really scared that you will leave me.”

Claire is looking at him while he is saying those words.

“Claire, please don’t leave me again,” Kiki said, almost crying, “it’s so fucking hard to breathe without you in my life.” Why is he saying different to her?

“I won’t leave even if you are in your red days always. I will go home to you multiple times.”

“Today is our 7th wedding anniversary.”

Claire frowned. They had been in one year married.

The following five months will be their wedding anniversary.

Does Kiki take drugs? What 7th wedding anniversary is he bluffing?

“Are you on drugs, or did you drink a lot of coffee?

Kienzo cup her face.

“I love you. I promise I will give justice to what happened to you two years ago.”

“Huh?! Are you crazy? Or are you getting crazy? Are you on drugs?”

“This is my second chance to be with you. The universe hears my wish.” He smiled a little.

“Don’t you still remember everything?”

Claire stopped her world when she heard his answer.

“Remember what?” She wasn't sure what he was trying to say. She wants to confirm.

“Your past. Our past.”

She couldn’t be able to talk.

“We h-have past?”

Kienzo showed her pictures.

“Kienzo…” Claire felt her knees weak.

“It was you. That’s our wedding picture.”

Claire doesn’t know what to say. She has mixed emotions. Claire also doesn’t know how to react. Why can’t she remember that they had fast?

Kienzo nods at her.

“You will always be my wife in life and another life.”

“We’re married? What is the meaning of this? I don’t understand anything and why. Why do I look like her?” Claire pointed at the woman Kiki was in the wedding picture.

“We were three years married when I held a case against the governor. He raped a minor, and I won the case against him. He was sent to jail until he used his connection while he was there. He involved you. He took revenge on you. And then, an accident made you lose your memories three years ago, and after two years, our paths met, and here we are. We have married again.”

How ironic it is.

Kiki was in his second year in college when he met Claire five months after his break up with Dolly.

“Then, where is that governor?” There are a lot of questions in Claire’s head.

Kienzo sighed.

“He was out of prison by the power of the President. He has many connections, and my evidence is not enough to send him again to jail and get his justice. Because of him, my life became miserable. Because of him, we became a part of each other; you almost died in that accident.”

Claire still didn’t get anything.

“If you were my husband before, why we are apart and why… why you not in my side those two past years?” There are a lot of things that have happened in her life, and most of them are not happy memories.

She felt Kiki is making up stories.

He holds her hand tightly.

“I don’t know, you like a mushroom who suddenly disappeared, I waited six months to get you, but when I introduced myself to you, you kicked me in the balls and ran. You don’t remember me until all I can do is wait for your memories to come back.”

Claire doesn’t remember that she had met Kiki before because she has encountered many people and has short-term memory loss.

She remembers that she woke up in the hospital years ago and ran because Claire thought she had an accident and her fiancé was going to get her. She also felt something was missing in herself; she wasn’t complete, and the rest happened in those years she hasn’t remembered anymore.

“And I’m sorry for hiding you. I am scared the governor will do something again if they find out you are still alive.” Kienzo's eyes are full of emotion and feelings.

Claire’s accident two years ago, Kiki took as a warning to him. They had a plan to kill Claire.

So, this is the reason why Kiki didn’t get near her anymore. Now she understands he is acting weird and distant.

Claire hugged him.

“No matter what happened, I may forget certain events in my life, but the universe will make a way to meet our path again. I may not remember our past, but the importance is importance.”

“Bolat, Did you know? Do you still remember Kiki’s twin? That Enzo? He got Keran’s girlfriend. He is hitting his third younger brother’s girlfriend,” Claire told her friend while walking in a park.

There are a lot of people here.

Kiki texted her to come over when that happened, but she had something to do with Bolat. They will meet then; she doesn’t want her mother-in-law because she is overacting and plastic.

“I have a story to tell you too.”

They eat while walking together.

There are a lot of families here having a bonding.

“What’s that?” Claire curiously asked while chewing.

“This is crazy. It seems that Huan and her husband are about to get separate,” Bolat told her.

I told yah, Bolat knows a lot about every person happening in their lives, and he’s constantly updated.

“Ngek! Err? What did you know more than me? She is my sister, but why I didn’t know about it?”

I’m not hearing anything about it, and I didn’t think they would get separated. They will split if that older man dies. Huan’s husband only has three more months. He is too old for her. Well, Huan is after his money.

“Duh, the news has a feather, and even the news in the other country I am updated worldwide.” Bolat proudly said while laughing. He indeed knows everything happened worldwide.

Claire screams when someone pushes her forcibly. A man running that made her, and he even didn’t apologize to her.

“He is a jerk!” Bolat commented and helped her friend to get up, and he was glad they were in the grass.

“Momshie, are you okay? I will tell this to handsome Kiki so he can sue him!” Bolat is getting her teeth.

He helps her fix herself.

“Forget about it. My shoulder seems to hurt.” Claire touches his waits too.

“Let’s take a rest first. Let’s find a bench to take a seat.” Bolat guided her.

“It seems he was going to kill you. He forces you with so much force. He is a jerk!”

There were many people, and it took for them to find a vacant bench.

“Are you okay, mom she? I am reporting this to handsome Kiki so he could hunt him!” Bolat worriedly said while checking on her.

“Bolat, let’s go, him. My lower abdomen is aching,” Claire said while placing his hand on her lower abdomen.

“Okay, can you manage to walk? That man is an animal, a jerk! Idiot! And an asshole! He won't have a delicious meal, and his parents didn’t raise him well! Hmmph!” Bolat is still gritting his teeth while cursing that man. They walk into the mall in the parking lot.

They decided to go home since the park was getting crowded.

Manong Rodger is waiting for them in the parking lot.

“Bolat, I am feeling tired from walking.” Claire is breathing deeply. They had been walking.

“Wait, is that your evil sister? What a miracle she was with your other half-sisters.”

“We always see your sister no matter what we are going through,” Bolat stated while supporting her.

They are near the parking lot.

“Let not talk about them, they did not harm us, and maybe they go shopping. “

Claire doesn’t want to fight with her sisters, she’s not going to win against them, and they have horns. She also already accepted that their relationship won’t mend.

Huan will forever hate her.

“Momshie did not know that I am asking you to overthink. Are you still sleeping while you have millions of debt to your cousin?” Bolat suddenly asked her when they were already inside the car.

Claire stops from putting on the seat belt when Bolat asked her.

“I forgot about them if you're not just a demon who made them remember it,” Claire answered and locked the seatbelt. She doesn’t need to pay Kiki because she never had a debt on him.

“To all of have a million debts and can’t able to pay you were the one who can sleep peacefully and you are not thinking about it.” Bolat giggled.

“I will pay my cousin, and I am applying for work secretly since Kiki doesn’t want to work.” That her also her problem. She got hired, and there was a conflict days after, and she lost her job again. Fate is on the side of Kiki. When it comes to her cousin, she only has a debt to him.

Kiki was crazy, she had worked hard to pay him, but he only told her the truth.

“Ay yayay! I know a side line.” Bolat.

“Have mercy on me, Bolat, all the works you offered me were all failed and epic fail.” Claire acted like crying.

“Do you know how to speak English?”

“Kiki is fluent in English and always talks to me in English. Early in the morning, he talked to me in Spanish or English. I am being nosebleed with him.” Claire said long.

Bolat hit her because of her answer.

“You are stupid. I asked you if you are fluent in English. I didn’t ask about Kiki.” Bolat said annoyingly at me, and he rolled his eyes. He even pinches my ear.

Bolat knows he is a genius, but why is her friend stupid and brainless?

“I know a little bit, but mom she, I don’t like other nationalities, Nah. Because of them, I don’t want to get nosebleed and brain bleed.” Claire said in advance that she was already bleeding her head in Kiki’s.

Bolat rolled his eyes, “I am offering you a call center job, stupid!” Bolat hit his friend again.

“I am in even though I am not fluent!”

She doesn’t want to shoulder Kiki’s about her debt to her cousin.

The two stop talking when they notice Mnaong Rodger is having trouble.

“Manong Rodger, what’s happening?” Claire asked.

“Ma’am, the break is not working.” Manong Rodger worriedly, and there’s a sweet on his forehead.
