Chapter 193: Sadness


    She felt her entire world crumble with the sudden news.


    With a shaky hand, Arabe froze. Her unstoppable tears were the only ones left alive. They showered


    like rain and had no n to stop.


    "Mom are you okay?" Adam was quick to hold her hand.


    "Adam, I need to go," Arabe answered absentmindedly.


    "Mom, say something." Adam squeezed her hand. His mom could not trick him. Her face was pale and


    her hands were very cold. Adam knew something wasn''t right.


    "Your grandma..." Arabe''s voice couldn''t hold her emotion as it was getting very dispirited.


    "Mom...." Without her saying anything, her expression was enough for Adam to decipher what had


    happened. Adam wailed while hugging her mom.


    "I''m sorry." Jayson left Margaret''s side and strode towards Arabe. He hugged her again without


    minding everyone around.


    Bill, Kelly, and Trishia were muted.


    "Let''s go. Let me drive you." Jayson quickly offered and grabbed her hand.


    With the sudden news, Arabe''s mind had malfunctioned. Her thought was empty and she had only


    one thing in her mind, her mother. All she wanted was to exit the ce quickly and see her mom.


    Jayson''s offer was helpful and the most convenient for her right now.


    "Mom I want to see grandma." Adam''s little heart was heartbroken once again.


    "You will see grandma but not now, Adam." Kelly butted in, held his shoulder, and pulled him to the


    side. By his mom''s look, Adam quickly understood.


    "Jayson," Margaret could only utter on the side. Her sour tone was merely proof of being abandoned.


    Jayson seemed to hear Margaret but he neglected her. He was wearing his utmost sympathy for


    Arabe. No one could be able to break it from him even Margaret. From the start, Margaret knew that


    Arabe was Jayson''s weakness. She could not take Arabe away in Jayson''s life even if she tried


    hard for so many years.


    Though Jayson agreed to marry her, Margaret knew that in his heart, she could not rece Arabe.


    Arabe''s feet seemed to have their own brains as they lifted and followed Jayson''s steps but soon


    stopped when someone grabbed her arm from Jayson.


    "She''sing with me." Bill sounded with a firm and imposing tone. His voice and action showed


    authority. If someone dared to go against, surely there would be great chaos.


    It was quick and Jayson was left like something was snatched from him.


    “Hmmm… That’s quick karma!” Trishiamented with a mocking smirk.


    “I’d rather not hear anything from you Trishia. Let’s go, Adam.” Kelly answered Trishia with a strict


    scolding tone.


    Adam tailed his grandma Kelly while Trishia remained dumbfounded on her spot.


    ‘What’s wrong with the witch?’


    ''Is she wearing a halo now?''


    ‘Is she sympathizing with that bitch now?’


    ‘Grrr…’


    Trishia giggled in anger with Kelly’s sudden change of mood.


    Bill got Arabe in his car. His driver drove his car to the school per Bill''s order. He nned to drop by


    his office after Adam''s event. Bill personally drove Arabe to the hospital without any words for her.


    Arabe was muted in her seat. All she could feel was pain all over her. Her heart was torn into pieces


    that she had a difficulty in breathing. When her father died, she had no time to mourn. She left the city


    to save Adam in her belly. Now that her mother''s gone, the feeling of loneliness slowly invaded her.


    ''It was one of the greatest feelings in the world to know that no matter what, you always have my back,


    mom. Now that your gone, I am lost, mom.'' Arabe''s tears were racing on her cheeks. ''Why do you


    have to leave me and Adam, mom?"


    ''Dad, why do you have to leave me?''


    '' Why do you have to leave your daughter behind?''


    ''Why fate is so cruel?''


    ''Why it has to be my mother?''


    She had suffered enough. Enough for her to surrender everything but she refused to because of Adam


    and her mom.


    They needed her. Living without a father was a bitter pill to swallow so she had to be tough and had to


    be tougher every day.


    She had to stand brave for Adam and Jaime because if not her, who would?


    No one would.


    She had lots of questions but the answers were to no avail.


    "Are you happy now?" With tears flowing uncontrobly, Arabe broke the silence inside the car. Her


    words were mocking. If there’s one person to me for her sufferings it had to be the man who’s


    beside her right now.


    Bill Sky.


    Bill didn''t answer. His eyes were focused on the road.


    "Bill, tell me. Are you happy seeing me like this? Are you happy killing my parents?" Her sadness


    turned to madness. Remembering how she lost her father and got her mother ill, her heart wanted to


    kill him.


    Though she was already swallowed by her rage, Bill stayed muted. He didn''t even spare her a nce.


    "Stop the car!" Arabe roared.


    Bill seemed not to hear her.


    "Stop the car now or we die together!" This time, she roared the loudest.


    Bill stopped the car. He knew the girl could trouble him with her messy state of mind.


    Arabe quickly opened the door. She could not be with the man who murdered her parents.


    How could she face her mom by epting help from the man who caused her illness?


    The thought that she could go freely was a disappointment. Bill locked her door preventing her to exit


    the car.


    "Open this f*cking door!" She punched the ss portion of the door repeatedly. Her anger was driving


    her crazy.


    Bill didn''t move nor follow the order that made her more insulted and blown by intense fury. Her stare


    was killing him already. Then her heavy punches transferred to him. Arabe couldn''t control her anger.


    Bill didn''t dodge and let her punch him wherever her fistsnded on his body.


    "You are such a devil!"


    "You are not a human!"


    "Go back to hell! That''s where you belong!"


    "I hate you!"


    "I... hate..."


    Arabe lifted her heavy eyelids. A white wall greeted her eyes. She could not feel any strength in her.


    Her heart was heavy and restless. Looking at the needle on her wrist, she easily got her location. She


    was in the hospital. She fainted in the car. She looked around but there''s no Bill.


    Then slowly her real situation took over her again. Her mother''s loving face suddenly shed across


    her mind. Her tears instantly poured out.


    She wanted to see her for thest time but her mind was opposed to it. She was scared of reality.


    Just when the door opened.


    "Mrs. Sky, how''s your feeling now? I’m Dr. Miley. " A female doctor strode in with a wheelchair.


    “What time is it? How long I’ve been here?” She quickly asked frantically.


    “Don’t worry. You just slept for 1 hour. Your body needed to rest. Do you feel better now?” Dr. Miley


    exined.


    “Please let me see my mom." Instead of answering, she directly pleaded.


    "Let me check you first then we go. This is per your husband''s order." The doctor announced not


    knowing the real tension between them.


    Arabe heaved a sigh of frustration but she let the doctor do her job.


    After the check-up, the doctor brought her to the final viewing of her mom.


    When they were about to enter, Bill showed up. He came from inside.


    "What did you do to my mom?" She roared angrily.


    Bill nodded at the doctor signaling her to leave.


    The doctor hurriedly walked away.


    Without wasting her time, she stood and was ready to leave her wheelchair behind but she got dizzy.


    She thought she would copse directly to the ground but someone got her.


    Bill was quick enough to make her stabilize.


    She hated to be touched by him so she quickly pulled out herself from him but the things around her


    started to spin. She quickly grabbed his arm to gain support.


    Bill wrapped his arm around her waist and his other hand was holding her hand.

    "I don''t need you." She remarked with full of hatred as she followed his steps.


    Bill didn''t say anything.


    "You killed my parents, Bill." She would never get tired of reminding him how cruel he is. Let his


    conscience kill him if he has one.


    After her words, Bill''s grip on her waist tightened. He stopped walking. She stopped walking. Bill finally


    looked at her but didn’t say a single word.


    After a quick minute, Bill assisted her inside.


    The moment of reality came when she entered the room.


    Jaime seemed to be just sleeping. Her face was no trace of suffering. She rested in peace.


    Arabe kissed her mom’s forehead and hugged her. “No more pain, mom. Rest in peace.” She


    lovingly whispered with tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.


    Seeing her mom’s calm face, Arabe sobered. She was sure that her mom was in a good ce right


    now. She had to let go of her happily.


    The next days were gloomy for her. After the funeral, Adam was still saddened by the sudden loss of


    his grandma, Jaime. Arabe was trying to pull herself together for Adam. Farrah was always there for


    her and Adam.


    “So, what’s your n now?” Farrah urged Gab to visit Bill so they could talk freely. Arabe dragged


    her to Adam’s room.


    “I… I don’t know.” Arabe answered still feeling lost and weak. If she just could stick to her n, she


    should be packing her and Adam’s things now. There’s no point in staying in Capital Z. She had to


    bring Adam back abroad and get back her peaceful life.


    But now, how could she do that?


    Adam met Bill.


    Bill would not let her go with Adam.


    She could not just leave Adam with him. With them. She didn’t expect her n would be ruined. She


    should have followed her n carefully. Now, she regretted that she didn’t send back Adam abroad. If


    she did, her n would be perfectly followed. She would not have a problem flying back to N city.


    “Bestie, I know you can get over with this. Especially now that you have another angel watching you.”


    Farrah sat beside her and tapped Arabe’s shoulder.


    “Thank you. I appreciate that you are here.” Arabe hugged her only best friend. Farrah’s presence


    always lightened up her mood.


    Farrah hugged her then Farrah began to sob.


    “What’s wrong?” Arabe was rmed.


    “I… I will be having a baby.” Farrah announced sobbing.


    Arabe was surprised. She was very happy for her best friend. “Oh… Gosh! Congrattion, Bestie!


    That is happy news!” Arabe added. She lost her mom but there would be another member added to


    their family.


    A baby.


    Farrah’s baby.


    Farrah was still crying and she wondered. “Ohmon, don’t be such a baby.” Arabe hugged her


    again. “I know you are happy that you could cry,” Arabe added.


    “Yes. I am happy but sad at the same time.” Farrah answered sobbing.


    “What’s wrong? Tell me.” Arabe said worriedly.


    “I… I am leaving.” Farrah answered staggering.


    Arabe was surprised again. “What do you mean?”


    “Gab and his family were still not in a good term. Gab was trying to reach out to them so we came back


    but he failed. Now, he decided that it was good for us to start our family away from them. Her mom


    would never ept me and our baby. She keeps on insisting on the divorce with us. Gab didn’t want to


    be tied up with the Ming family and with his family. But I don’t want to leave you and Adam with this


    state.” Farrah’s voice was sad and bitter.


    “Shhhh…” Arabe hugged her tighter. “Listen up. You have your own family now. Do not worry about


    me and Adam. I know you will be a great mother and a wife. We can always visit you wherever you go,


    okay?” Arabe was trying to appease Farrah but deep inside, she was very sad but she had to let go


    of Farrah. Farrah deserved all the happiness in the world.


    “Who’s gonna protect you here and Adam?” Farrah sobbed helplessly.


    “Don’t worry about that. Don’t forget that your best friend is a tough woman.” Arabe tried her best to


    put up a joke amidst the loneliness in her heart.


    Farrah sobered.


    “Just promise me that we would see each other again. Best friends forever?”


    “Best friends forever,” Arabe answered and they hugged each other again.


    Farrah bid goodbye to her once again.


    It was alreadyte at night. Adam was already sleeping. Arabe couldn''t sleep so she decided to go to


    the pool area.


    The city was not sleeping but the cozy lights were wonderful from where she could see it. The silence


    was deafening. She looked up to see the stars.


    It''s beautiful.


    Then her tears started to pour again.


    She missed her mother so much.


    It''s been tough for her and she could not cry so much in front of everyone especially in front of Adam.


    Now, she could not control her tears from falling. She let all her tears out when someone suddenly


    hugged her behind.


    "It''s okay to cry." Bill Sky muttered hugging her.
