Speechless
While Mrs. Morisson, on the other hand, did not speak, he just remained speechless in the air because of what his wife said.
“It’s just like Aurora! Did you know that Toci’s father was Miranda’s lover?”
I’ve heard this once from her when I was a teen. I can’t even believe it because I think it’s really impossible. But looking back now … it is possible. ‘Cause Mom was gorgeous in her younger years, even now her beauty never fades. She ages well. And I adore her love for Dad. Even though Mom loves lavish and shining material things he never left Dad when he can’t give it to her. She stood up and provided for us, she sacrificed to the point that she can’t see how someone abuses her family’s wealth to degrade our family.
“Aurora? Aren’t those Toci’s motherbells? You offered Celiza a job with her ex?”
Mom nodded. “Yes sister! If I hadn’t nabbed her before, she wouldn’t have noticed Aurora! She’s still mad at me! So maybe she’s very jealous!”
“Couldn’t he be angry because of that Tita?”
“You know I thought of that too Miranda! But it’s very shallow! So maybe it’s very jealous!” she laughed.
“Mom---”
“Is it not?” Mom’s eyes widened at me.
I can’t stand her happiness. It’s just this gossip that makes him happy.
“You forgot that you planned to marry me to Toci Mom.”
“And it’s good not to continue because otherwise you might be the oppressed api non! I’m so glad for your enlightenment, because otherwise you would have been treated!”
I stared at her. He forced me to get along well with Toci because he thought he would be good to me, not to be flashy again because he could see how much he wanted a simple life. Though sometimes she really can’t help herself from adoring expensive things.
But there’s nothing wrong with that. There is really a point in our life where we misunderstood someone’s action and intention for us. But we won’t stay in those blurry lines, it’ll become clear over time.
“She may be vicious but I don’t think she’s violent Mom.”
“Tsk. Are you being nice to them?”
“Because I’m tired Mom. It’s enough for me to sever our connection with them. I don’t want to live everyday holding a grudge against someone.”
“You can see what a loving aunt can do! Not just children but peace!” Miranda laughed.
A smile tugged on my lips.
“And speaking of kids, you should have done that!”
The heat crawled down my cheek. “Mom!”
Mom raised her brow. “We both know you’re not innocent Celiza, so stop! You even have a video! And at your age you should really have a child! Remember!”
My lips protruded.
“Leave it to Celiza. Tita is right too! But she’s beaten up! You look like us against all odds! She’s so sweet! Think about it! Even if there are so many scoundrels around you who want to stop you, just stare into her eyes— “Poof! You just thought of him gone!”
I bit my lips.
“Luh aunt, your son has a bitten lip oh! Lande!”
I quickly avoided pinching it on the side. I laughed at her banter.
“What is it Miranda, Magnus must have gone crazy!”
“Mom---”
“Why not? Don’t make me deny! You can’t be fooled! I just let you go because you’re alive!”
“I don’t think so, Mom.” I teased her.
“That’s the same! You know Celiza so that nothing can really stop you, give us a grandchild!”
“Mom!”
“Maria Celiza! You’re not a child! By that sign you should have a child!”
I kept staring at him as he sipped his coffee. “Bliss seems to have a playmate too! She’s not alone here with your Dad and me.”
“But wait Celiza, who told Magnus what happened?” Miranda.
My eyes shifted to Mom.
“What?”
“Is it you Mom?”
“Of course not! I’d rather he go crazy thinking if you left him before to chase you even more.”
I narrowed my eyes on him. I haven’t asked Magnus how he found out about that.
But who did it?
“Mom, what is that?”
“Not really me!”
“Miranda?”
Its nata grew. “You’re gay, I haven’t even seen your Magnus yet so how can I say?”
“Then who did?” I pursed my lips together.
“Maybe your Dad?”
“That’s impossible because Alfredo is here every day! Unless we can walk when we’re not there!” Mom giggled.
“Speaking of, what happened to those two?” Mom looked at the two outside then left.
“Don’t think about it Celiza! The good thing is that you two are fine. Finally happy ever after! I’m getting married! That needs to be beautiful!”
I sighed.
“Oh why doesn’t it seem fun?”
“If you only knew how happy I am Miranda. It’s sky high——”
“What?” she teased.
“Miranda is probably my pleasure!” But the savor can also be—— the savor that Magnus’ father will receive is sky -high. Because in the end all our hardships paid off. “
“That would have borne fruit indeed!” she laughed.
“I’m floating on the clouds right now, Miranda. That’s Magnus! He’s my first love but I don’t know why I felt uneasy.”
“Oh why? Maybe you just had too much coffee? You’re CR!”
“That’s not it Miranda.” I shook my head.
“Then what?”
“Aira and Mrs. Morisson will definitely not let the marriage continue.” I squeezed my fingers.
“In what way huh?”
“What can he use against you?”
My chest tightened. “My sex tapes.”
There’s no doubt they will use my video to separate Magnus and I. They did it before and they can do it now …
She chuckled trying to wear off the worries of me.
“What will be played on the day of your wedding? It’s like a movie? If that’s what he’s going to do, Magnus and their name will also be affected, so that won’t happen.”
I know it’s corny and cliché but it is possible. A person who’s blinded by love and burned by anger can do anything, especially in a cliché way.
I sighed. “I hope so.”
“Don’t think too much Celiza! Be happy! You’re getting married! You’ve overcome the pressure to get married! Next is the baby!" she laughed.
