The Ruin Wedding

IRIS LOU POV

A week passed and I had swollen eyes as I’m looking to the very grave of my son because of his disappearance until now dexter is still looking for the root cause of everything that happened to my son.

This is when I cry again because of the loss of the only person I draw strength from and the reason why I am still alive in the world. but I can’t imagine that the only reason for me to stand up and continue my life suddenly disappeared, I don’t know why only pain comes to me, I don’t remember I did anything sinful in this world and god punished me this kind of pain.

I know there is a reason why I feel all this, god has a plan for me but now I am apologizing for what I will do, I will not allow that I cannot get justice for my son. I will not allow the person who did this being happy while I am suffering.

“Stop crying.” I didn’t even feel Cleopard’s presence next to me because I was so selfless. my tears shed more in my eyes, I just hugged him.

“I don’t know how I’m going to start again because of what’s happening in my life, tell me Am I mother?” I asked weakly while my face was submerged in his chest.

“Nope, your the greatest and the best mother I’ve known in this world, so dont think like that, I’m always here, willing to be with you till the end.” He said and hugged me. because of what he said, tears came to my eyes again.

“You know I’ve never been lost beside you. I’m always there to support you, even when I’m far away, I’m still watching over you.” He said that even though I didn’t know what he said, I just let him.

“I’ll protect you all the time.”

“Thank you.” I told him before I let go of his hug. he grinned before wiping the tears from my cheeks.

“Let’s go you need to rest its been week, since you dont have a good sleep, look at your self you look like a zombie.” He jokingly said that’s why I slapped his arm lightly before glancing at my son’s grave for the last time, I promise I’ll come back here when I get revenge on the person who did this to my son.

We left the cemetery to go back to the petals orphanage. When we got in his car, he made it move away from the cemetery, I was just looking out the window while watching the trees we passed and the tears flowed again. I just leaned my head against the window, I don’t know why I can’t stop my tears from flowing.

“I already told you earlier, to please stop crying, but look your crying again.” Cleopard sighed while his gaze was still on the road.

“What can I do when I can’t control myself not to cry.” I said softly and sobbed because I felt like I had lost everything, I couldn’t accept that I suddenly lost my only child that I had taken care of since he was a child and then just took me away early.

“Fine! Cry all you want.” He insists on speaking.

“N-no matter how hard I try to accept that he’s gone I can’t accept it, all the memories come back to me when he’s still with me.” I told him while sobbing.

“If hunter’s betrayal of me was too painful then, the pain I’m feeling now can be compensated. ”

“What was my sin and why would god punish me like this.” I groaned as I slapped my chest because I couldn’t bear the pain I was feeling right now. “I also can’t help but blame myself for why I became a careless mother.” I said and then I noticed that we were in front of the petals orphanage.

“How many times can I remind you that you haven’t been a careless mother.” Cleopard said suddenly.

“Stop crying, the life already gone can’t take back .” he added before going out and turning around so that he can opened the door for me, I wiped my eyes before coming down, when I went down I saw him go to the back of the Orphanage that I understood him because I was so sensitive so he was angry, I just entered the orpanage and it looks like the children are playing in the garden.

As soon as I entered the main door of the orphanage, the quiet living room opened up for me, so did I just walk in and go to the sofa, when I sat on the sofa I saw the laptop owned by dexter, was playing it looked like CCTV so I watched it.

While I was watching that I saw my son crossing the road and when he was in the middle of crossing I could see how he had been run over, and I could also see how the car that had collided with him had left. I just cried because I saw how my son’s head hit the road itself and my anger condensed because the car left as if nothing had happened. I felt someone approaching as I lifted my head up and looked at dexter the newcomer as if nervous.

“Explain to me what is this Dexter.” I shouted at him so hard that he touches his head before answering forcely.

“I would have told you that yesterday just so I don’t want to disturb your grief for your deceased son.” He answered weakly so I hit the table out of annoyance.

“So you didn’t tell me? You know how much I want to know what happened to my son and who was at fault!” I said angrily to him.

“Tell me! Who owns the car that crashed into my son!” I shouted at him.

“Okay I’ll say that, but please calm down okay and don’t be surprised by what I say.” He answered calmly so I took a deep breath before returning to my seat and calming down. He was sitting on the single sofa in front of me and we were in the middle of the table.

“Now tell me.” I said.

“Okay, I gathered that CCTV yesterday, and as for the person who owned the car that crashed into your son, it’s none other than Eliot Hunter Hamilton, the person who betrayed you.” Straight to the point he said so it was as if heaven and earth fell on me because of what I heard.

“How come he’s the one who crashed, it can’t be, he’s the one who killed his own son Damn it!” I said angrily.

“He’ll pay for it; he already hurt me twice, so I’ll make sure he will feel what it’s like to lose someone special in his life,” I replied emphatically, as my hand clenched in rage.
