Chapter 28: Chapter 28

"Wait!"

Anya stopped walking when she heard a voice from behind her. When she looked back, Andrius' sister's angry face immediately appeared.

Sofia Vergara wearing a knee length off-shoulder dress. She looked like a model in her current form. Beautiful and stunning while walking at the buildings pathway. When Sofia approached her, she immediately gave her a slap.

"Are you happy with what you did to my brother? You broke him, Anya! You hurt my brother!" she said angrily to Anya.

The way Sofia stared at Anya, it was obvious that she was mad. Who would be happy if she just left Andrius in front of the crowd while kneeling? She declined his proposal in public.

"Sorry," Sofia said and nodded. She didn't want Sofia to see that she was hurting too. How she hated saying no to Andrius but she had to because it was necessary. Because, it was right.

Sofia laughed sarcastically.

"Look at me!" Sofia commanded Anya. She was even surprised when the girl followed and saw her face full of tears. "Don't act as if you're hurt because it doesn't suit you. You don't deserve my brother, anyway," she said emphatically to Anya.

Anya's tears kept falling even more after hearing those words from Andrius' sister. Words hurt when you knew they were true. The blade of words bit into the heart.

"I hope you will never show your face to him, again!" Sofia said before she left.

Poorly, Anya wiped away the tears that still continued to flow. She turned around and started walking away from the area again.

Sofia was right. She doesn't deserve Andrius.

She touched her belly. Then she smiled bitterly. His chest tightened, again.She felt sorry for their unborn child. She felt sorry for Andrius. She felt sorry for everything.

"I love you, Andrius," she whispered.

Anya was dumbfounded when she arrived at the condo of her former friend Carla. She thought of going to her and saying goodbye to an old friend. She did a few more knock before someone opened the door. Carla, her friend immediately raised an eyebrow when she saw Anya.

"What are you doing here? Snakes are not allowed here in my condo." Carla said immediately as she opened the door.

"I want to talk to you for a moment as civilized people Carla," Anya gently replied to her former friend.

"What is that? I don't have time for drama, Anya. Say what you want to say," she said at once, easing the opening of its condo door. Anya followed her as she entered the condo.

Funny how they ended things. As she went inside, Anya looked around the place. She used to live the place with Carla, too. Her friend's condo was also her home during times when she had nowhere to go. But things were changed.

When the two finally sat down on the couch they were both silent. Feeling each other while staring. But, Anya broke the silence.

"I just want to say thank you for everything. I know we've been true to each other. I consider you a sister Carla. And I'm sorry if you think I dared you. Maybe, it's true. Maybe, I'm a bad friend," Anya said while staring at Carla's face.

"Don't you really know Anya?" Carla asked directly.

"No," Anya answered emphatically.

Carla sighed at what she said. Her face also reflected sadness. Carla's eyes were weary. Moments later, tears welled up in her eyes.

Anya knew why. She also knew what that was for. It was for her.

"I'm sorry, Anya. I know you're hurt. I saw how you rejected him. I also saw how much you're hurting now. I am a bad friend, Anya. I became selfish," Carla's emotional statement while wiping away her own tears.

Anya wasted no time. She stood up and approached Carla. She hugged her tightly and they cried on each other's shoulder.

They both felt the pain. They're both dealing the consequences. Pain caused by wrong decisions. And things that could never be undone. When the two got tired of crying they fixed themselves down. They also wiped the tears from their cheeks.

Anya grabbed Carla's palm and held it tight. She was happy. Despite their misunderstanding, they also got along. Maybe, things should be done to test how strong their bond as friends.

"Sorry," the two said at the same time. They even laughed at what was done but that did not reach their eyes. Both were struggling in a situation they did not realize.

They talked for a while before Anya decided to go home. It was afternoon and the weather looked bad.

"I'm leaving, Carla. Thank you very much," she said goodbye to her friend before standing up. Carla also stood up and took her out of the condo.

Anya didn't even knew what she really meant by saying the word leaving. She knew those words meant two things but she did not want to let her friend know. It was enough for her that they got along.

When Anya finally got out she turned to her friend and hugged Carla again. Carla let go of what she had done and patted her on the back.

"Everything will be alright, Anya. You and me. We will heal our heart. I'm sorry," she said. Anya nodded in agreement with it. She broke the hug and stared at Carla's face. Anya smiled. She will surely miss her only friend.

Before she left, Anya waved one last time to Carla. The girl continued to the lobby of the building and waited for a while in the Grab taxi she had booked earlier. Even though they looked at each other, Anya did not take the people's critical look at her anymore. Who couldn't recognize her? She was the only one that rejected the proposal of Andrius Monterio.

What Anya did to Andrius a while ago spread like wildfire. Posted in every social media site. Even as breaking news on different T.V. stations. What happened was a gossip in the corner.

Anya sighed. Everything has happened and she would never get it back.

Anya was in that position when someone called on her cellphone. The Grab arrived just in time and she went inside immediately. She also answered the caller.

"Hello?" she asked here. She also frowned as if she could see her.

"Good job, my dear! You amused me so much Anya," answered on the other line.

Arruba even laughed which made the girl even more annoyed. She immediately recognized Arruba. Anya clenched her fist and took a deep breath. She tried to calm herself from the anger she felt for her.

"You devil! Are you happy now?" she asked? She even glanced at the driver of the car and was shaken when she saw him staring at her. Probably wondering.

"My bad. What you did isn't enough. Remember Anya ... Stay away. I will do what I say. So do your part. Tschüss!"

When the call was over, Anya leaned back in her seat. She squeezed her senses slightly and looked up. He also sighed afterwards. She was tired of crying. That would not benefit her either because of her condition. If only everything was so easy there would be no problem.

"Ma'am we are here," the Grab driver said.

Suddenly, Anya woke up in her long thought and looked out of the car. She immediately frowned when she saw Andrius' car opposite their gate. She immediately got out of the vehicle and approached him. Andrius also got out earlier in the car while waiting for the girl.

"You didn't mean what you said a while ago, right?" Andrius immediately opened to her. Anya ignored Andrius and just kept walking towards their gate. "Okay, I'm sorry. I should've asked you first before proposing in public. I thought, you like surprises, Baby. And, I wanted to surprise you and give the best to you. But ... Fuck!" Andrius added.

The hint of frustration was evident on his voice. He even pulled out his own hair while looking up slightly. He was still hurting. The young man was still shocked when Anya turned her back on him. But, he was hopeful that they could still fix everything.

"Please, I'm sorry Baby!" pleading, he said at once touching the girl's arm.

Anya stopped at the proper opening of the gate and faced Andrius. She swallowed a few more times when she saw the sadness in him. She had to persevere. She had to uphold the decision. She already made a choice.

"Don't call me, baby again. I'm not your baby Andrius," she said to him while staring into his eyes. She forced herself not to blink because she knew that when she did, she would shed tears.

"What?! Are you serious? You're joking right?" Andrius shrieked and was still shaking. His face reflected the pain caused by the girl's words but he still hoped.

"I don't love you. I never loved you. So leave!" Anya shouted at him as she forcibly withdrew her hand from his grip.

"No! You're just mad. Baby, please. Don't hurt me like this!" Andrius eyes pleaded.

Anya shook her head. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. She felt sorry for Andrius but she had to leave him for the good of all.

"I just used you, Andrius. I only used you as my experience. I didn't know you were that easy to fool. I thought you're good at playing, you should know better!" Anya said as she motioned quickly and entered their yard.

"So, is that it?! You will just leave me? You are so deceitful!"

Anya even heard the Andrius. He was right away from him when her tears began to fall.

As Andrius was left outside their gate. He was shocked and hurt at what Anya's last words. He did nothing but watch the girl's back as she walked away. The second time on the same day, Anya hurt him again. But, he could accept all the pain just to make sure that she would come back to him.

As Andrius tears flowed, so did the rain from the sky. Perhaps, it also mourned his plight. For thirty years of his life, Andrius played girls in his own content. He admitted as an asshole for so long but not when he met Anya. He loved her truly. It was his first time to love a woman.

While it was raining heavily outside, Anya was in her room, crying. She looked out the window and frantically watched Andrius bathe in the rain. The surroundings were shady due to the bad weather but the bulk of the young man could still be seen outside their gate.

She wanted the young man to go home. She was afraid of what might happen to him if he lasted outside while he was soaking wet. What Anya saw made her even more hurt. She could feel how much he loved him.

"Am I bad, Pappi?" she asked her father as she felt him embrace her.

"No. You just did what you knew was right. I feel sorry for Mr. Monterio but I feel more sorry for your child. You and your future child. You are just a victim," Pappi's consolation.

Anya rested her head on her Pappi's chest. Moments later they heard a car noise. When they looked at it, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Andrius' sister coming out of it.

When they left, Anya felt relief at the same time she was hurting. She thought that the same feeling could be possible. You are happy while hurting too. The heavy rain outside sympathized with her grief. Anya touched his flat stomach and caressed it.

She was always the billionaire's secret affair.
