Ryuchen Ajero was standing in front of his wife's grave.
It's been a month since his wife, Chloe, died and it was her birthday so he decided to visit her grave. He have no choice either, because his grandmother also cursed him to visit her grave.
"What are you doing here?" Ryuchen heard someone said behind him.
He turns his head and his face darkened when he saw his childhood friend, Jason, standing behind him holding a bouquet of tulips.
According to Lyka, Jason was his wife's lover. She saw them hugging and kissing each other before the car accident occurred a month ago.
"I didn't expect you to be able to face Chloe, Mr. Ajero." he said then put the bouquet of tulips on his wife's grave.
He's not calling him by his name since Chloe died, as if they were no longer friends anymore.
"Are you happy now that your wife is dead?"
"Wife?" he face him and smirked as he remembered the scandals and humiliations he had experienced back then because of his so called wife. "She doesn't even deserve to be my wife."
"...Really?"
Ryuchen was surprise when Jason suddenly punched him causing his mouth to bleed.
"Of couse she doesn't deserve to be your wife because you don't deserve her, asshole!"
Ryuchen wiped the corner of his mouth and glare sharply at Jason.
"What is wrong with you?!"
"Throughout her life, she did nothing but love you. But what did you do for her, ha? Why do you have to make Chloe's life miserable?!"
He didn't know how to response, he was just looking at Jason who was furious in front of him.
"She almost sacrificed her life just to save you, you punk!"
Ryuchen suddenly felt cold and shivers rushed throughout his body as if cold water has been poured on him on winter night when he heard what Jason said.
"She received a lot of insult and humiliated by your employees, she was tortured and almost got raped when she was kidnapped by your so-called girlfriend, and you know what is the worst thing you have done to her..."
He was confused as he listened to what his friend was saying.
"...She didn't even get a chance to see or hold her child and you even had a nerve to accused us that we're lovers?!"
Ryuchen froze.
His mind was a mess and doesn't understand what Jason was talking about, and he got a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain. Like there is something wrong, or perhaps, something was missing... like he lost half of his life all of a sudden after he heard what Jason said.
But he immediately ignore his feelings.
"You said Chloe saved me? When did that happen?" he asked sarcastically. "If you are referring to the kidnapping that happened back then, Lyka was the one who saved and she almost got raped in front of me because of Chloe! Now, you're saying that Chloe almost got raped... and she... we... we have a child?"
The doubt immediately disappeared from his mind when he suddenly remembered the day he was drugged.
When he woke up after the night of his grandmother's party, he saw Chloe lying naked beside him. He got mad at her and accused her that she was the one who drugged him, he even insulted her back then and called her desperate.
"Yours and her child, I took Chloe to the hospital because she felt something was wrong, we found out that she was seven weeks pregnant. She was happy and scared at the same time. She doesn't know what to do with the child because she knows that you will get mad and will not accept if you find out about her pregnancy. She's pregnant before she died, you probably don't know that because you didn't went to the hospital to take her home and not even bother to shows your fucking face in their funeral!"
But...
No one said anything to him, not even his father's lover Liza who attended her funeral.
Ryuchen's father was on a business trip and his grandparents are traveling around the world that time so they told him to attend her funeral on behalf of them, but of course he didn't go because he was busy attending events for Lyka's movie premier.
Is he was the only person who doesn't know that he was supposed to have a child if the car accident did not happen?
"...And until now, you still believed that Lyka saved your life?" Jason smirked. "I'm really done with your stupidity, Mr. Ajero. You still believe to someone who's good at scheming until now?"
"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Ryuchen shouted furiously. "Tell everything to me, Jason!"
Ryuchen was dumbfounded after Jason told him everything before he left Chloe's grave.
His heart suddenly filled with guilt and sadness that he couldn't understand, there was a part of him that doesn't want to believe what Jason said... but he has no reason to lie to him now that Chloe was dead.
Jason just have to tell the truth to him so that he will suffer and regret what he did to Chloe for the rest of his life.
The image of Chloe smiling at him every morning in the kitchen got inside his head all of a sudden.
Even though he always ignores her, the smile never faded on her beautiful face every time she sees him. Her smile shows how much she loves him and every time he gets home, he always sees her on the sofa, sleeping, she probably waiting for him to come home but all he did was to go straight to his room and ignored her.
They had been married for more than two years but he never heard her complained, not even once.
Bastard! If Jason's telling the truth... fuck! I shouldn't have done that to her.
The rain began to pour as he looked at his wife grave.
The raindrops hit his body as if someone was hitting him softly, as if Chloe wanted to convey what she feels to him at that moment from heaven.
I'm sorry...
Tears start to fall down on his cheeks along with the raindrops, realizing all the mistakes he had done to Chloe.
Ryuchen did not know what happened after he left the cemetery.
The next thing he knows is that he's inside his car, his head hurts badly while bleeding. He can't move his body and can't open his eyes properly.
Yeah, he had an accident. He got hit by a truck while driving home.
Maybe that is his punishment for all the things that he has done to his wife. He's not a good husband nor a good father, now that he knows the truth, how can he bring his wife back to life?
If God will give him a chance, he will makes everything right.
He wants to treat her better...
He wants to make her laugh just like when they were kids...
He wants to try her dishes...
He wants to experience her love and reciprocate her feelings...
Ryuchen suddenly felt his eyelids getting heavier, he was also out of breath.
At that moment, he knows that he was about to die.
I can apologize to her now... I hope I could see her smile again.
