The Two Woman I Loved. Chapter 15
STEVE mulls over how he’ll get into Monalisa’s soaked garments. He would not have said anything about undressing if it had been only his wife. “Oh, I need clothing,” he said as he entered the room to see if the deceased wife’s clothes were still there. When her forty-five days were up, he gave all of her new clothes. He burned the used ones. He didn’t see anything. He took his cotton sweater from his closet and remarked, “I guess it’s okay.” If she wears it, it will most likely be above her knee.
Steve entered the living room once more. Monalisa was encircled by the blanket. He began carefully removing her clothing. The pulsing in Steve’s wrist began to accelerate abruptly. With a sigh, he let out a long sigh. And he is not pleased with how he is now feeling. Despite closing his eyes to make it simpler to change her garments, he accelerated what he was doing. He went to the kitchen to boil water after he was finished. He’ll be given something hot to drink later, when she wakes up.
Steve just sat in the other chair. We had to wait for Monalisa to wake up. when it suddenly coughed. Steve immediately stood up and approached the woman. “Are you okay, Monalisa?” was his question.
Monalisa slowly woke up.”Steve?” she pronounced the man’s name.
“I am, Monalisa. What happens?” He immediately asked her.
Monalisa, who couldn’t stop herself from shedding her tears. “Hey, why are you crying?” Steve dabbed her tears away. “Monalisa, tell me what happened.”
Monalisa struggled to get up. even though she felt she was still weakening. Steve supports her. “I’ll get you some water in a minute.” He immediately went to the kitchen.
When he gets back, “Drink this first.”
After she drank the water. “Thank you, Steve.”
“You are welcome, Monalisa. Do you have a problem? Or, did you fight with your husband again? ”
Monalisa rubbed her cheek. “We didn’t fight.”
“If you didn’t fight, why did you dash in the rain? Monalisa, is there another reason, Monalisa?” He really wants to know what happened to the woman.
Monalisa sobbed, especially when she remembered what Archie and the boss were doing. Her weeping had turned to mourning.
Steve leaned over to Monalisa and hugged her. “All right, just cry to make you feel better.”
Monalisa’s face was buried in Steve’s chest. Steve gently stroked her back. Steve had no idea why the woman was so upset. He becomes enraged with her husband all of a sudden. Why is it permissible for the wife to feel upset?
His wife has never been upset in their one year of marriage. Even over a horrible topic, they never argue. They have a romantic relationship. However, the woman in his arms is now crying, presumably because her husband has made her sad.
he finished crying.”I’m sorry, Steve. I’m sorry! ” Monalisa apologizes to him.
“It’s okay, can I know what your problem is? They say it’s comforting to let out a sigh of relief when someone tells others what’s bothering him. Well, I’m ready to listen. If you want to tell me?”
Monalisa nodded. He was right. “I caught him, Steve.”
Monalisa’s remark made Steve frown. “What was caught?”
“I caught him with someone else, and they’re having sex!” Monalisa tries not to cry any more.
“What the fuck? He’s insane! Damn him!” Steve screams. “I want to punch him! Your husband is insane, Monalisa!”
“Steve, he isn’t my spouse,” she admitted.
Steve’s brow crease persisted. He was clutching Monalisa’s shoulder. “What did you say?” he asked, possibly because he thought what she said was incorrect.
“We just live in partner, Steve. He was the first person I met when I first arrived in Manila, he was so kind to me and helped me a lot, and he’s the only one I have here, so I agreed to let us share a house.”
Well, Steve can say that he felt pleasure in Monalisa’s revelation. “So, what are you up to now, Monalisa?”
Monalisa shook her head. “I don’t know, Steve. I’m really confused! ” She really didn’t know what she was going to do right now. She wants to stay away from Archie now.
Steve wants to say that you can stay with me if you want. “Are you still planning to go home, Monalisa?”
Monalisa shook steadily. “I don’t want to!”
“Okay, if you trust me, Monalisa. You stay here first until you have made a decision. Is that okay with you?”
“Can I, Steve?” Even he said it she must asked him. She knew he would be willing to allow her to be sheltered at his house. Mostly, she feels safe in his home.
She was, of course, very welcome in his home. “Of course, Monalisa. My house is open for you. ”
“Maybe someone will get angry, Steve?” she asked. If he has a girlfriend, they will fight because of her.
“Monalisa, you mean a girlfriend?”
Monalisa smirked.
“No one comes here but my mother, so don’t worry, no one will nudge or smack you, promise!”
Monalisa grinned when she heard Steve’s comments. Steve, I’ll be here for a while. But I’ll keep working. Households will be my responsibility deal?”
Steve laughed.”I don’t need a maid, Monalisa,” Steve said,” But a wife to look after me that what I needed the most!” he said meaningfully.
Monalisa’s heartbeat quickened in response to what Steve stated. Is he teasing her? If only she didn’t have any issues. Perhaps she won’t think twice about staying in his life indefinitely. “Wife? If you want one, Steve, there’s many out there for you. Just like you have a good life.”
Steve smirked. Monalisa was absolutely correct. There are a lot, but he doesn’t like all of them. He is the one who follows his heart rather than his head. “I acknowledge a lot, but I’m looking for something else, and it’s right in front of me!” he stated flatly.
Monalisa had no idea what to say or do in response to what Steve had said. He’s openly admitting that he likes her. It sounds appealing and appeals to her emotions. But she hasn’t felt it now. Her heart is still bleeding. She persisted in asking, “Steve, do you like me?”
“Yes I like you, Monalisa. Not only do I like you, but I love you! I know you’re going through a lot right now, but I’m not going to lie: I adore you!”
Monalisa’s lips were smiling, but her eyes were sorrowful. “I don’t think I’ll be able to respond to your love, Steve, especially now that I have nothing and am clinging to myself!”
Steve takes her hand in his. “I’ll wait, Monalisa; if you’re ready, I’ll be right here, greeted you with a smile.”
Monalisa burst into tears. “I can’t promise you, Steve. But if there’s a woman coming into your life, you’ll love her. Don’t hesitate to accept it.”
“Let’s wait and see what occurs in the coming days, months, or years. Who knows if we were truly meant for each other by God? So I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope it happens soon! ” Steve wipes her tears again.”And the suffering you feel with him. To me, I will not give you that. All I can make you feel is happiness, but sometimes sadness, because I know I am not a perfect person!”
Monalisa couldn’t stop herself from hugging Steve. And she thought that tomorrow everything would be okay for her. But she also knew that there was an impending conflict in her life because of Archie. And he knew it would not stop him from coaxing her to be forgiven for what
he had done wrong.
As Monalisa held him, Steve flashed a beautiful smile. He hoped things would work out for them. He understands that not everything is easy, but that everything has an end. And that would bring them joy, he hopes for that day to come.
Archie is agitated and wandering around their home. A sweet smile flashed on Steve’s lips as Monalisa hugged him. He prayed that everything would be okay for them. He knows that not everything isn’t easy, but everything has an end. And that would be a source of joy for them, as well as hope for that day to come.

Archie is agitated and wandering around their home. And he always dialed Monalisa’s number, which is no longer in service. “Ahhh! Monalisa, where are you? “He hesitated to throw the cell phone he was holding out of anger. He was just annoyed because that night he didn’t let it go. And he had to bring out what was inside him. Monalisa’s boss called him right. He said he’s alone and lonely, and he needs someone. So he was the fool who immediately went to it. And they were together all night. Because he was tired, he fell asleep when he woke up in the afternoon, but his companion did not go to work. He was also aware that Monalisa was at work. So he hasn’t come home yet. And they make love again. When Monalisa saw them there, he didn’t think they would go to the boarding house. And he knew that their relationship was in jeopardy. But he would not allow her to leave him. If he has to kneel before it to be forgiven, he will.”I will look for you, Monalisa. Wherever you are, know that I love you. I love you so much!” He said determinedly.
