Chapter 43: Chapter 43

…

Simoune was quietly in the room and she was doing nothing but lying down and crying, she also couldn't put away the things she was throwing because they didn't have a handle and the pain she was feeling was swallowing them, while Bruce couldn't wait to turn around in his bed so he could sleep but because Bruce was worried about Simoune, he couldn't talk properly

Simoune's Daddy also quietly goes to Simoune's room and puts his ear to the door to hear if anything is happening inside even if Simoune's father wanted him to talk to her, he didn't want to tease Simoune so he just let him.

Simoune's father went up and down in her room and their living room because he was restless, he thinks about what Bruce said so he thinks that maybe Simouone is doing something to kill herself. It's almost as if Simoune died in what happened because she gave all his love to Vince but none of this is true because their love is just fiction.

Love that everything is fake and there is no truth is not worth it. Love forever will never be enough because Vince needs two to three women to be happy. Did Vince ever love Simoune?

Simone

I woke up at 10am, and my room was very cluttered no matter how much sleep I do, Vince's pain is still here, I didn't even realize that I fell asleep on the floor of my room then someone suddenly knocked on my room and I suddenly stood up and went to the door of my room

"Who is that?" I asked

"Simoune? It's lunch time, I'm guessing you might want to eat?" Nanny Lily said calmy

"I'm not going to eat Nanny Lily yet" I said

"Are you sure? Didn't you eat last night?" Nanny Lily said

"Yes, I just want to sleep first" I said

"Alright, is that so? Call me if you want something to eat" Nanny Lily said

"Yes Nanny Lily" I said

After I talked to Nanny Lily, I went back to bed and lay down I don't know why, I feel so heavy it's like I just woke up to cry more and more, It's tiring to cry, it seems like what happened to Vince and me is more painful than the swelling of my face

I thought of turning on the tv and watching a movie but still, I cried and cried, I don't know how long I'll cry because I don't feel better it's like there's a stone buried in my heart that can't be removed

BRUCE

I woke up at 9am in the morning and looked at my phone, hoping that Simoune had a text but there’s nothing, I called Lucy

"Lucy??" I said

"Oh why?" Lucy asked

"We'll go to Simoune’s house later, maybe you'll forget" I said

"Can I forget that? You're too excited" Lucy said

"Just saying" I said

"Oh come on, I'm still sleeping! Just go to my house later to pick me up!" Lucy said

"Okay, okay" I said

Lucy ended the call and I got up from my bed, I went down to the kitchen and saw mommy is cooking

"Oh, are you awake son?" Mommy asked while looking at me

"Yes mommy" I said

"Oh come here, eat breakfast" Mommy said

"Yes mommy" I said

"After you eat we will go to the market and we will shop" Mommy said

"What are we going to do at the market mommy?" I asked

"Oh my! You forgot? Didn't I say I was going to make Simoune a carrot cake" Mommy said

"Oh yes mommy, I'm sorry I just forgot" I said

"Hey! You're going to help me make a carrot cake" Mommy said

"What is that mommy!" I said while making a face

"Don't be dramatic ! it's for Simoune" mommy said

"Alright mommy, yes I'll come with you" I said

I sat on the chair and ate breakfast, while mommy was preparing herself, because we’re going to the market. I hope Simoune will eat the carrot cake that Mommy and I will make, it's also an effort to bake. After I finished eating, I went up to my room and chose for clothes to wear and of course the clothes to bring to Simoune’s house

After I made my choice, I went to the restroom and took a shower, after I finished taking a shower, I immediately got dressed and went down to the living room

"What mommy? Are we leaving?" I asked

"I still cooking our lunch food for later" Mommy said

"Is that still long? Mommy?" I said

"It's about to finish, wait" Mommy said

"Alright mommy, I'll just sit here in the living room" I said

First I sat in the living room and played a movie on the TV but while I was watching, I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw some posts about Simoune, she's flirtatious and a husband grabber so I immediately called uncle to tell him this

"Uncle?" I said thru call

"Oh Bruce? Why were you summoned?" uncle asked

"Uncle, is Simoune's phone with her? Or is it still with you?" I asked

"I still have it, she hasn't looked for it yet, why did you ask?" uncle asked

"Uncle, there are posts circulating about Simoune that she is flirtatious and a husband grabber, I just don't want to stress her out especially when she sees it. So if possible, please hide it first if possible" I said

"Is that so? Can something be done about the posts? Can't they be deleted?" uncle asked

"I'll find a way to delete the post, I'll call my acquaintances and we'll do the programming" I said

"Thank you Bruce, I hope Simoune doesn't see this posts" uncle said

"Hopefully, I'll do everything I can so that she doesn't see it" I said

"Thank you, see you later!" uncle said

Uncle ended the call, and while mommy wasn't done cooking, I called my friend Tony

"Tony!?" I said

"Oh Bruce, why how are you?" Tony

"I want to tell you so much about what happened and I would like to make a request, when can I talk to you?" I said

"I will be available later, what is all about?" Tony asked

"I'll tell you later. I'll call you later. Okay?" I said

"Alright, just pass me by the bar because I'll look after it" Tony said

"Alright alright thanks" I said

I ended the call and at the same time Mommy called me

"Bruce!! I'm done cooking, we're going to go shopping and then when we get home we're going to have lunch and after we eat lunch we're going to make carrot cake" Mommy said

"Alright mommy, I'll start the car outside" I said

I went out and started my car, I immediately removed the car from the garage while waiting for mommy after a few minutes later, mommy came out and got into the car

"What do we need to buy mommy?" I asked

"Oh this will be our list, 250g self-raising flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 400g caster sugar, 350ml vegetable oil, 4 eggs, 350g grated carrots (about 4 medium carrots), and 120g chopped walnuts and for the Cream cheese icing is 225g cream cheese, 110g margarine, softened, 450g icing sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract" Mommy said

"That's too much mommy" I said

"Why! This is for Simoune! So you must make sure she can eat what I'm going to make because it's delicious!" Mommy said

"Yes mommy, I will do everything so that Simoune can eat the carrot cake we will make" I said

While I'm driving I'm thinking about the posts about Simoune, maybe Simoune will see this and be even more sad, so after we make this carrot cake I should be able to leave in our house and go to Tony

When we got to the market, mommy immediately went outside and started looking for ingredients to put in the carrot cake that we will make later.

"Mommy, I'll wait for you here in the car because I don't know anything about your shopping and about the ingredients of that carrot cake" I said

"Oh, okay, as long as you see me walking towards you, help me, maybe I'm carrying something heavy" mommy said

"Yes mommy, I'll just wait for you here" I said

Mommy walked in while I was just sitting in the car, I was surprised when Lucy suddenly called me

"BRUCEEE!!!!!" Lucy screamed in the call

"Why!? Why did you scream?" I said

"Have you seen the posts about Simoune!? WTFFFF!! Fools spread that news!" Lucy said

"Yes, I've seen that, I'll find a way to delete it all" I said

"How?" Lucy asked

"It just is! Before I go to you later, I'm going to a friend who will help me delete all the posts about Simoune" I said

"Alright!! Make sure you delete everything! So that when Simoune gets better, the posts about her won't be a problem anymore" Lucy said

"Yes! Yes! Alright, I'm going to end the call" I said

I ended the call and looked around, I was getting impatient because mom was taking so long, maybe mom even talked to the vendors inside the market

After we make the carrot cake, I should go to Tony's place to solve the problem. I turned around and saw Mommy carrying a lot so I quickly ran to her and took the things she was carrying

"Is it complete mommy?" I asked

"Oh yes of course! Let's go home so we can do it right away" Mommy said

I got in the car with mommy's shopping and I also opened the car for mommy and of course I also got in and drove home

"Let's eat lunch first so we have the energy to make carrot cake!" Mommy said

"Okay mommy" I said

When we got home, I took the groceries and placed them in the kitchen, while mommy went into the kitchen to serve the food for lunch

"Come and eat here!" Mommy said to me

So I immediately sat next to mommy and spooned something to eat

"Mommy, after we make the carrot cake, I'll leave right away to go somewhere" I said

"Where are you going?" Mommy asked

"Only with my friend mommy, we're going to do something important" I said

"Is that so? Come on! Let's make this carrot cake first and then you can leave" Mommy said

After we finished eating, mommy took out the plastic shopping bags and taught me what to do. I just support mommy in everything she does and follow all her orders because there is nothing else I can do but follow because I don't know what to do.

"The first thing you do is Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Grease one 23cm round cake tin" Mommy said to me

"Okay" I said

"Next step is: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon and sugar." Mommy said

"Next step: Add the oil and eggs, mix until blended, then stir in the carrots and nuts." Mommy said

I just watch her while Mommy tells the steps one by one

"Next step: Divide the cake mixture evenly between the two prepared tins." Mommy said

“Next step: Bake for 30 - 40 minutes in the preheated oven - check after 30 minutes. A skewer inserted into the cake should come out clean.” Mommy said

It looked like Mommy knew what she was doing because she memorized the steps

"Last step for carrot cake: Cool cake on a wire rack before removing from the tin." Mommy said

"This is what you do, Bruce the Icing: To make the icing: In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese, add the sugar and cream well. Stir in the vanilla. Use the top of the cooled cake.” Mommy said

I immediately did what Mommy told me to do because she might get angry that I didn't follow her, when I finished what I was doing, I immediately showed it to Mommy

"Mommy is it okay?" I asked

"Well, now we can finish this" Mommy said while smiling at me

Mommy put the icing and she said she'll just refrigerate it so that it tastes better when Simoune eats it, when we finished, I immediately put away the clutter and said goodbye to mommy

"Mommy, I'm going to leave and go to my friend" I said

"Is that so? Be careful" Mommy said

I immediately got myself ready and left the house, at which time I will finish doing programming with Tony. I immediately got in the car and went to Tony

While I was on the rode, I called Tony to let him know that I was on my way

"Tony?" I said

"Why? Are you going now?” Tony asked

"Yes, are you at the bar now?" I said

"Yes, I'm early today at the bar, just come here" Tony said

I ended the call and drove to the Bar, when I got there, I immediately entered and went to the 2nd Floor to look for Tony, and I was right, he was in his room.

"What the hell is happening Bruce?" Tony asked when I entered his room

“Have you seen the posts about Simoune?” I asked

"Post? Where?” Tony said

"On Facebook, she is said to be flirtatious and a husband grabber or should we say mistress. Is there anything that can be done to delete the posts about her?” I asked seriously

"Just program it and it will be deleted, wait, I'll just get my laptop" Tony said

He went out first and took his Laptop

"This is my first program to delete all posts and videos that say bad things about Simoune. Actually, we can also report it to Facebook, in that case, it will take longer to delete, so it's better if we do it now" Tony said

"Alright Tony, I'll accompany you first to do the deletion before I go to Simoune’s house" I said

"Wait, are those posts about Simoune because of Vince?" Tony said

I don't know how to tell Tony everything that happened, but since he also told me about Vince, I'll tell him.

"Yes, didn't you tell me to keep Simoune away? I didn't do that, so she was involved in the kidnapping, so she was destroyed." I said

"Is Mila's father responsible for the kidnapping?" Tony asked

"Yes, it's good that we saved Simoune, now she's recovering" I said

"Mila's father is really bad, did the father and Mila go to jail?" Tony asked

“Yes! Simoune's father fought" I said

"It should be! at least now Simoune is safe, I will delete it so that no one will cause more problems for Simoune" Tony said

I'll just wait for it to finish and then I can go to Simoune’s house, the program that Tony is talking about takes a long time but it's better than Simoune seeing the posts about her, the more people share the more the situation will only get worse

To the best of my ability, Simoune, I will save you from all harm
