Chapter 382
382 Forgive all
Zwetta uses sunglasses to disguise her puffy face ,after crying for more than two hours Zwetta decided to leave Luna’s grave. After leaving Clarke’s mansion, Zwetta came back to Luna’s new home and cried her heart out at her little daughter’s grave. Zwetta spilled all her anger and sadness on Luna’s grave which currently looks disheveled after she used it as a place to lie down.
“You must eat, Mrs. Clarke.”
Zwetta, who was standing right in front of Luna’s grave, immediately turned towards the source of the sound. A middle-aged man who Zwetta recognized as the caretaker of the Clarke family grave had just spoken to her, he was also handing her packet hot, appetizing
“You’ve been crying since last night and you haven’t eaten anything either, you’ll get sick if you continue like this, madam,” the middle-aged man added back.
“You know who I am?”asked Zwetta quietly.
“Of course I know,” the man replied kindly. “Young master has already told me everything.”
Zwetta lips. “I’m not one of them, I’m just an ordinary woman forced to give birth to Christian’s child. So don’t call me that, I feel uncomfortable.”
“More than twenty years serving the Clarke family has made me quite good at judging Mr. Christian’s feelings, from the way he looked at you and talked to you yesterday you can tell how much he loves you,” said the caretaker kindly. “And believe me, that loving look the young master has never shown anyone else.”
“How do you know if Christian never gives anyone that look?” Zwetta, who had been provoked by the tomb guard’s provocation, asked with great curiosity. “Whereas you are not always with him.”
.....
“I was as young as you two were, so I don’t think you need to answer that question anymore, right?”
Damn. Zwetta hit a dead end.
“Whatever has happened to the two of you, I hope you two can get back together soon, Miss Luna must also want the same thing. She certainly won’t be calm if she sees her parents continue to fight like this,” said the middle-aged man again.
Zwetta closed her eyes, the words of the middle-aged man standing in front of her at this time made her speechless. Her chest felt tight, there was an uncomfortable feeling that made her hesitate.
“God alone can easily forgive His servant, Madame. So why can’t we forgive someone’s mistakes and give them a second chance?”
“Christian and I weren’t meant to be together, our worlds are very different,” Zwetta said quietly. “And I have also forgiven the man, I have decided to erase all my hatred for him. I have released the man from all ties to me.”
“Mrs....”
“And maybe this is the last time I’ll visit Luna, I think it’s time for me to go back to living, to be reminded of all the bad memories that have happened,” added Zwetta again with a muffled hoarse voice. “Thank you for accompanying me all night in this place, I will always remember your kindness.”
slowly Zwetta lowered her sunglasses and again wiped her tears with her left hand. After feeling strong, with heavy steps Zwetta left the burial area. As Zwetta had previously told the grave keeper, now she has decided to let go of all her hatred and grudges against Christian and his family. Zwetta decided to forget their mistakes to her, Zwetta really wanted to bury all the sad stories that happened to her over the past four years.
Once her intention to move Luna’s grave did not get permission, Zwetta decided to give up her daughter. Zwetta had braced herself after not being able to get the last chance to hug and kiss Luna. Zwetta’s goal in moving Luna’s grave wasn’t for Nashville to take home, her goal was to hug her little daughter’s body no matter what. But after hearing Anne’s words two hours ago, Zwetta then gave up. She didn’t want to make her little daughter sad again when she saw her body which had begun to merge with the ground forcibly removed, Zwetta was not that cruel to her daughter. Zwetta didn’t want to make her daughter who had calmed down in heaven hate her.
“I still have two hours left to...”
“Zee ..”
Zwetta who was getting ready to get into the car immediately raised her face as soon as her name was mentioned, behind her sunglasses Zwetta looked so shocked when she saw the presence of Christian who was standing in front of her.
“No! Don’t go, I beg you.” Christian screams loudly when he sees Zwetta act to open the car door. “I want to talk to you one-on-one.”
Zwetta folded her arms across her chest. “There’s nothing more for us to talk about, all our business is done.”
“It’s over, what do you mean?”
“I’ve forgotten you and all members of the Clarke family, I decided to forgive all your mistakes and leave everything to God,” Zwetta again. “That’s why I ask you not to bother me anymore.”
Christian shook his head and immediately ran towards Zwetta, because Christian’s movement was so fast that Zwetta couldn’t avoid it so Christian finally managed to lock Zwetta’s in his strong arms.
“No, don’t go. Don’t leave me again,” Christian says frantically. “You can’t leave me, Zee. I don’t want to, I can’t live without you. All this time I’ve been so tormented by your mysterious missing and I don’t want to feel that again. So don’t go, I beg you.”
“Let go of me...”
“No Zee, I won’t let you go. I’d rather just kill me than you have to leave me again,” Christian says firmly. “I just lost Luna forever and I don’t want to lose you again, I’d really be crazy if you left me like ugh...”
Christian couldn’t continue his words because Zwetta had already given one more punch to his stomach, but even so Christian still does not want to let go of his arms from Zwetta ‘s. Christian prefers to endure the pain than to let Zwetta.
Annoyed by Christian’s stubbornness, Zwetta again attempts a second punch. However, because Christian was ready, as a result, the hit was not successfully launched because her hand was immediately gripped by Christian firmly.
“You can hit me as much as you want, after we go to the hospital,” Christian says quietly, the pain in his stomach from Zwetta’s still so intense now that he has to speak slowly. “We have to make sure Luna’s sister is okay first this time.”
“What do you mean?”
Christian lands his hand on Zwetta. “Looks like the sister Luna we made in Paris has grown in your stomach.”
“Are you alright young master?”
Christian who was holding his stomach after being hit by Zwetta again nodded slowly. “I’m fine.”
“But it looks like you still need to see a doctor, sir,” said Taylor, the Clarke custodian seriously. “The madam hit you with full force, sir.”
Christian grins faintly, remembering how hard Zwetta hit him moments ago after he said that Luna’s sister had grown in his stomach. Actually Christian himself is still not sure, but he still said it to Zwetta. Christian hopes Zwetta will melt if he talks about the baby in her tummy, but the unexpected happens. Zwetta got angry and hit him with full force causing him to fall to the ground. Zwetta really doesn’t play around when she’s angry.
“I’m not that weak, Taylor,” Christian says back. “And thanks for telling me about Zwetta ‘s whereabouts here.”
Taylor nodded slowly, since last night Taylor had actually told Christian about Zwetta at the tomb. However, because Christian fell asleep quickly after receiving stitches after a small accident that happened to him, Christian didn’t know the news. Until finally an hour ago Christian read all of Taylor’s messages when he opened his cellphone which was still lying on the sofa, the last place he threw his cellphone violently when he entered his room. The number of problems that occur makes Christian rarely touch his cellphone if it’s not really important. Right now Christian has prioritized Zwetta above all else, that’s why he doesn’t care about his cell phone.
“You don’t have to thank me, sir. What I do is part of my duty to serve the Clarke family,” Taylor replies sincerely, refusing Christian’s apology.
“Thanks, Taylor. I’m glad to have you here, grandpa must be very calm up there seeing your loyalty to us.” Christian alludes to Luis being a role model for him when talking to Taylor.
Decades ago, Luis made Taylor, a former heavy drug addict, guard the Clarke family grave after being rescued from the side of the road while dying. Luis hired Taylor, who at that time did not gain public trust because of his severe addiction, Luis, who believed that Taylor was a good person, did not pay attention to input from those closest to him who had protested against his decision at that time. And it turned out that Luis’s decision to hire Taylor was right, because the man was slowly recovering from his addiction that was almost beyond help. Living and working in the Clarke family cemetery managed to make Taylor a better human being, the man who was initially not afraid of death became so afraid of death after working in the graveyard and it was his fear that slowly made him control his desire to go back to taking drugs and come back to life. normal until finally being able to get married and have a small family of their own.
