He Was Once My Uncle

"Don't waste those tears on people who don't deserve you." A baritone voice lifted my head from my bow. The tall man was standing and leaning against the wall and had a fist. He was wearing a simple white polo shirt and slacks. It's beautiful, elegant and smooth---I'm even overwhelmed by the whiteness. "W-Who are you?" Wait. It's familiar. He's... He's the vocalist of a famous band and a car racer that's in the news because he had an accident and is now comatose! Shit! I was suddenly nervous. My tears spontaneously stopped falling when I met the man and were replaced by... fear. Even though it's handsome, it's still a ghost. Geez. There was a trace of shock on the man's face. "Do you see me?" "That's a ghost..." Putcha! I'm still afraid of ghosts, shit. A smile suddenly appeared on his lips. "Scared?" "H-Don't come near me!" Well, I don't have Holy Water! I was confused when he suddenly stepped closer to me. I want to stand up and run, but I can't move, probably because my knees are weak. But my heart beat even faster when he bent slightly so that our faces were level. His gray eyes stared at me. His nose is pointed, his eyebrows are thick, his lips are red, and his face is smooth. I couldn't help but praise him in my mind. Now he knows how many women are mourning him now. "It's ugly to cry." All of a sudden, my fear disappeared and was replaced by annoyance at his words. "What did you say?!" "The. ugly. you. turned out to. cry." How dare you repeat it! He moved away from me and laughed. I was insulted by his laugh. Even though I am like this, I can be proud of my beauty. Then... Grrrr. I looked at him badly and felt annoyed. "Calm down ugly. Your nose is smoking oh, pffft." I have stood up. The jaw clenched. "If you're ugly you're handsome?! If I'm ugly you're even uglier! shit!" I marched out and slammed the door shut. I still heard his laugh which annoyed me even more. If he wasn't a ghost, I would have really punched him in the face. But I can only say one thing.. That annoying ghost is totally a fucking jerk!

"I don't know what mom sees in you to treat you as her son more than me. I can't let mom just ignore me while you enjoy the things she gives you." I was shaking while looking at him. This is not the first time he yelled at me. But this is the first time I'm so afraid of him. I don't know what to say. What should I answer him? Everything he said was true, I accepted everything that Ma'am Pam gave because it was really mine, I could not refuse. I didn't know that I have someone whose parents are hurting and going crazy because of me, that's why he's so angry with me every time he sees me. That's why he makes me a servant at school to make me look like I'm just a helper and won't be Ma'am Pam's daughter. "I really hate you Glen, I wish mother Lisa never gave birth to you because you are useless in her life."

So this is how my life ends... "Behead her now!" "Such a villainous woman should die!" I can clearly hear the voices of my own friend's and colleague's condemnation in me while I am kneeling to the ground. My body was covered by many bruises and my hands were tied in my back. The glares in their eyes makes me feel that we don't share memories. Is this my karma? I only wanted to be brave, I wanted to be myself. I just don't want somebody to hurt me, why do they hate me so much? "Adelaide Reisel von Lascena" I began to lift my head slowly to see the man who spit my name. "Your execution will begin" he continued I smiled bitterly as I saw the man that I truly love was staring at me in resentment. Prince Alexis, I love him so much that I could do anything to make him mine. But, he's now furious with me and sadly that he's the one who will kill me. I look in my sister's direction and her smirk makes me sick. I'm here at the town's circle as my execution will be held in public. I was accused of harming my sister, Ivellina and ended up being persecuted. The truth is, although we don't have a good relationship with each other, I can't harm my sister. The bell of my execution started to ring and the people started to clatter. I looked back and saw many people want me dead even though I didn't know them and I didn't do anything to them, it's hurting me. My tears started to fall. I don't wanna die... Prince Alexis finally drew his sword. "Any last words?" he said I smiled as my tears we're falling non-stop. "It was sad..." I said in lamentation "My life is sad..." I look in his face but I see no guilt. My sister was smiling now, I bet she's happy because she finally got rid of me. He put up his sword and I began to feel more desperate to live. I don't want to die! I want to have a peaceful life! All of my memories flashed against me and I started to wail. Finally, the bell rang for the third time and my execution began. I suddenly feel numb and all I can see is darkness. In my second life, I wish to be a person that everyone loves. It was so dark and vivid when I finally opened my eyes. I began to wander my eyes in this familiar place. Was it my room? When did I get back? Didn't I already die? "Miss, you're finally awake" A maid confronted me while she was handling a tray with food in her hand. "Lina, why am I in my room?" I asked "Miss had a strong fever and haven't left her room in about 3 days?" he answered "Where's Ivellina? Where's father? Where's everybody?" I asked in confusion "Miss, what are you talking about. Who is Ivellina? Your father was in his office right now" Lina answered Wait, why did my voice suddenly change? Why did Lina not know who is Ivellina? I looked down and I was surprised to see that my body became small like I was just a 12 year old girl. Wait a minute.... "What's the date today?" I hurriedly asked "It's July 13, 980, Miss" she said What... is going on.. I glanced at the window and put a smile on my face. God must've given me this chance to correct my life. This time, I will live in happiness. I will change my fate and avenge my pitiful life.

I was sitting quietly on the carpeted floor of my room, at the foot of my bed when I heard a soft knock on the sliding door of my balcony. At first I ignored it because it might be windy outside but it repeated itself until the knocking became one after another. I stood up to approach it and when I opened it I greatly surprised the man outside. I quickly went to the door to lock it and turned back to him as well. "What are you doing here, Miko? D-It's dangerous here. How did you know this place?” I asked nervously and pulled his arm so he could go inside. Maybe someone will see him from outside. He didn't let me go and hugged me tightly. He buried his face on my neck and I could feel his body trembling. My lips parted at his reaction when he saw me here. "I'm sorry..." he apologized to me and his voice broke immediately. "Miko..." "I'm sorry, Donna..." "Please...h-don't come here, Miko." "How can I not come here if you are here?" he asked and pulled away from his hug from me. He cupped my face and stared at me intently. Since he found out that I'm alive and that I'm Donna Jean—his ex-fiancé has been making a way to see me even though he knows that he will be destroyed if he approaches me again. He knows what my...husband can do to him if he doesn't avoid me yet. "Miko... Please, don't be stubborn. Don't come any closer to me... Avoid me... You'll just perish," I said in fear. "How many times have I let you go, Donna... I don't care if I risk seeing you and being close to you. I've fought with death once and I'll do it again for you, baby...” The corner of my eyes warmed because of what he said and my heart beat even faster. “M-Miko...” “I'm the reason... I'm the reason why you ended up in this situation, Donna... I'm to blame. Because my brain was narrow then. My ears were closed to listen to your explanations to me before... So I must find a way to get you out of this household. Donna...we need you... We and our children need you...” "But Miko... The four of you are safer without me... You will be given a peaceful life if I am not with you. Let me go..." I said but she shook her head several times and her tears started to fall. "How can you say that? How can you say that to me when I know you are having a hard time living with that man?” he asked, his jaw still agape. "Miko, your safety is more important than my own life," I promised firmly. "I don't want to, Donna," he said and shook his head. "I can't allow him to lock you here," he said coldly and his facial expression darkened. "Miko." "I went to several hospitals that day to look for you. But what did that man do, Donna? He ran away from you and forced you to marry him!” I quickly covered his mouth. He closed his eyes tightly and his chest heaved violently. "I still owe him a lot, Miko. Because I had surgery and was able to...see again.” "I can do that too... I can do that too if I'm not...blinded by anger and jealousy... I can treat you too, baby..." When I heard footsteps from a distance, my body stiffened I. It was like cold water had been poured on me. "Baby, what's wrong?" I quickly pushed Miko outside and she looked at me in surprise. "Go away, Miko. Please...he's coming. He's already in the corridor of our mansion—” “This is not your fvcking house, Donna Jean. We have a house...” "Alright, please. Go away, Miko...” I knew the sound of those footsteps was far away. During my time in the dark world, my hearing is strong and I have memorized the way it walks. "Donna..." He grabbed me by the waist and pressed me to his body. The nervousness in my chest just doubled. "Miko, please..." He sighed before he kissed me firmly on my lips. It was only a few seconds but it already gave me a strong impact. His eyes are bright and also have a sparkle. I only really saw it now because I was deprived of seeing the beautiful sight in the world for several years—the eyes of the man I love are now the same. "I'll be back. I'll get you back and get him back, Donna. I cannot allow him to have the mother of my children. You're all mine, Miss. You're only mine," he threatened and I swallowed because of the coldness of his voice. "I love you. I will do anything and just go home to my house—to our house with the triplets.” I just bowed down because of the growing sadness in my chest. I miss them so much. "Answer me, Miss. Or else I won't leave here." "I-I love you too. Go ahead, do—” he pressed me even harder with a kiss. I also responded quickly to his kisses until he also loosened himself. I still closed my eyes when he kissed my forehead sweetly. He took my hand and gave me something small. Cell phone? "Take that and keep it, Miss. He's a keypad and that won't get much attention. That battery is strong. Open it just in case something bad happens to you. Call me right away, Donna. I use a prepaid sim card and my number is the only one in your contact. Just please, don't hesitate to call me if he does something bad to you again. Miss...”

He hurriedly looked for the Restroom because he felt it was too hot inside that party. But before he could enter the Restroom, someone pulled him and made him enter a staff room. In shock, he almost screamed but when he saw the man's bulk, he was just as shocked "H-Hades? What are you "Hi Darling, don't you miss me?" he asked while coldly looking at her "H-Hades, I have to go back." I'm slowly getting up in fear "Why baby? I thought you're glad to see me here!" he said and rested his hand on the wall while the different looks that he shot at him little by little "If you ask me now, I will tell you that I don't want to see you anymore!" he cares "Oh come on!" "Why? Is the man you replaced me with better in bed, sweetheart? So you don't want me anymore? Is that so?" he answered with a smile but you could see the burning anger in the young man's eyes "Stop it Hades I'm going home!" "Is he better than me?" he continued and grabbed her shoulder Fuck you Asshole! You turned your back on me! "Did he fuck you harder than I did?" anger can be heard in its voice "Oh!" He screamed at the weight of what he was saying "Oh yeah!" "That's how good you growled Namy, Was he also attracted by that so the man you're with now is also crazy about you!." the eyes it was staring at him were almost glaring "You're insane!" he asked the young man while looking up at him and was about to slap him but the young man immediately grabbed his hand and smiled "Yes! I'm a crazy Asshole Namy!." "And you will see even more how crazy I am Namy." he said while grinning I tried to take my hand that he was holding but Hades just tightened it even more. In an instant, he locked her in his own arms so that he couldn't let go at the same time his lips were on hers The young man's kiss pressed her, at first she was hurt by his kiss so she struggled even more but when he stopped and gave up on struggling with the man, she just gasped. He opened his mouth at the same time as his kiss gradually eased. His lips were warm and soft. They parted slightly, allowing my tongue to slip inside. That kiss became familiar to him from the man, that was a kiss five years ago and he always wished he could feel that again in the past year. How I miss this kiss! How I miss this man! On the other hand, she felt relieved again because she felt the kiss of the man she loved the most.

"Congratulations Mrs. Sevara, you are 1 month and 1 week pregnant." The Doctor smiled at the news, I smiled bitterly before holding my stomach. Hey little angel, are you really there? It didn't take me long, he prescribed some vitamins that he said would help me get pregnant. I went straight to my husband's office to tell him this good news, despite what is happening to us, he still has the right to know about it. "Mr. Sevara, your wife is here outside." His secretary said, I saw her nod as an answer before the woman finally let me in. I swallowed three more times before taking the pregnancy test out of my bag but I hadn't finished taking it yet when he dropped a piece of paper in front of me. "When do you plan to sign?" He asked while seriously looking at the divorce papers, I stared at it before sitting in front of him. "Is Azi really gone? Are you really just going to throw everything away?" I bit my lower lip to stop myself from sobbing. Tears came to my eyes one after the other, but I immediately wiped them away. "I don't love you anymore, let's not torture ourselves Jade, let's finish thi—" "I'm Preg—" I cut him off but I was immediately stunned when the door opened. "Hi Azriel! Missed me baby?" Monica, his mistress. "Oh, hello there Jade, just sign." He said boldly, I took the ballpen shakily, I can't. 'to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worst, for richer for poorer, in sickness and health, until death us part.' where is the promise you made? where is the man i loved? I closed my eyes tightly before signing the divorce papers. why does this world need to be unfair sometimes? I always question myself where did we go wrong?
