Chapter 44: Chapter 44

...

While Bruce was waiting for what Tony was doing, Lucy was preparing things that she would bring with Simoune. Lucy has also said goodbye to her mommy because they will take care of Simoune, her parents have allowed it as long as she is being careful. At Simoune's house, her father is also worried because until now she has not eaten food the whole day, even Nanny Lily is worried because Simoune might get sick from what she is doing

How long will Simoune be like this? Until when will she be broken because of Vince? How long will it suffer from everything that happened?

FATHER OF SIMOUNE

I went up and down in the living room and in Simoune's room, but until now she still hasn't come out and I was so worried to the point that I was sleeping in the living room because I was hoping that Simoune would wake up, but she didn't. Last night I couldn't sleep because I was worried about Simoune, what she was doing and what was on her mind now

—-

I woke up because of Bruce's Call, and it turns out that I actually fell asleep last night in the living room. I thought I had moved to my room.

I immediately answered Bruce's call

"Uncle?" Bruce said

"Oh Bruce? Why were you summoned?" I asked while yawning

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Thank you, see you later!" I said

I ended the call. I don't know why my daughter has to experience all this. Now there are spreading posts and edited videos about Simoune, I don't know what to do, luckily Bruce told me about it and he said he could do it somehow. I really hope Bruce can do something about this because it might hurt more if she sees the posts

I immediately looked at the posts that Bruce was referring to and when I saw them I couldn't help but cry because the others here were below the belt and I know Simoune will be hurt here. I didn't realize that Nanny Lily walking towards me

"Sir are you okay?" Nanny Lily asked with a worried voice

I showed Nanny Lily the posts about Simoune and she was immediately surprised

"Sir, who makes these posts about Simoune?" Nanny Lily said

"I don't know, as long as the important thing now is that Simoune doesn't see it. So I hope she doesn't look for her phone first so she doesn't see it. It will be even more stressful if she finds out about it Nanny Lily” I said

"Where is Simoune's phone? Sir?” Nanny Lily asked

"It's in my bedroom, I hope she doesn't remember it. I hope today all the posts about Simoune will be deleted” I said

"Who can delete them Sir? There are so many posts?” Nanny Lily said

"Bruce said he could find a way, I hope he can find a way because if I see this? I don't know about post deletions” I said

“I like Bruce Sir! I know he can do it somehow. Come on sir, eat your breakfast first" Nanny Lily said

"Is it Simoune? Already ate?" I asked

"Not yet, sir, but I will try to talk to her again later. A while ago, there was no answer when I knocked and then when I opened her room she was still asleep" Nanny Lily said

"Is she okay?" I asked

"I don't think she's okay sir because her room is so cluttered and she just fell asleep on the floor" Nanny Lily said

"I don't know what to do with Simoune, Nanny Lily" I said

"The former Simoune will also return sir, we just have to be patient to understand her because the pain she feels is no joke either" Nanny Lily said

"I understand that, but I hope she at least ate" I said

"Can you try to talk to her, Sir? So that you can get along? About Mam and you sir, didn't Mam's stupidity hurt you? Why don't you try to explain that to Simoune? I know she will understand all the pain you experienced before" Nanny Lily said

"I'm ashamed, Nanny Lily, I don't want Simoune to see me cry just because of her mom" I said

"Sir, that's effective for Simoune to listen to you" Nanny Lily said

I thought about what Nanny Lily said, maybe this is the right time for me to tell everything to Simoune, so that she can understand me better and we can both understand each other because I know what she's feeling now because I've felt it before so I know I can help her to become better

I got up and went to the kitchen, I also served my food and ate it, I was still thinking about what would be a good time to go to Simoune's room

"Maybe I'll talk to her tonight, Nanny Lily" I said

"It's up to you Sir, all I can say is that you can help Simoune sir" Nanny Lily said

While I was eating, I couldn't get out of my mind how to start talking to Simoune but I know that I can do it, maybe I'm just shy of Simoune, because she was distant from me back then. Nanny Lily went up to ask Simoune if she wanted to eat because it was about to have lunch but when Nanny Lily came down she told me that Simoune didn't want to eat either

How long will you be like that Simoune???

SIMOUNE

I woke up because of the noise of the TV, I didn't even realize that I fell asleep because maybe it was because I was about to cry. I stood up to look in the mirror and not only my face was swollen but also my eyes were about to cry and I was disgusted by the mess in my room so I immediately organized the things I threw in my room, no one else would do it but me

I thought at first I could do it but no, I fell down and cried while cleaning, why is this?!? Why is it so hard!? I tried to finish cleaning and when I finished cleaning I thought of taking a shower because it was already afternoon

After I take a bath someone knocked on my door

“Who is it?” I asked

“Can I get inside?” Daddy asked

I can’t do anything so daddy get inside my room and sit next to me

“I know Vince hurt you so much” Daddy said

I can’t talk because I don’t want to talk about Vince

“I can understand you because I’ve experience it also before” Daddy said

“To whom?” I asked

“To your mom, I was so drained when I found out that you mommy is cheating on me, I felt empty at that time. I just want to drink and drink before because of all pain that I felt” Daddy said

"But daddy, you also lost time with us, so Mommy did that to you?" I said

"Daughter, I'm tiring myself in another country for you, I hardly even sleep just to finish my work right away because I really want to go home and be with your mommy. I endured all the hardships and being home sick in another country for you. Then I'll find out when I get home that your mommy is with someone else? It really broke my heart” Daddy said

I don't know how I will feel about what Daddy said, I feel guilty for everything I did to Daddy, so I couldn't stop it and started crying

"Sorry daddy" I said

"It's okay, I understand why you love so much with your mommy that way. I know you can see that your mommy cried before so maybe you think I hurt her and you think I don't have time for you and your mother anymore" Daddy said

I see tears in Daddy's eyes as if he was holding them back but he couldn't stop them and started crying in front of me

"You know what hurts more every time I come home when your mommy is gone? I'm going home but you don't pay attention to me anymore, so even though I want to stay here at home, I still get a job so I can go to another country again." Daddy said while crying in front of me

I couldn't stop crying and I hugged Daddy, I didn't know that, that was the pain Daddy was experiencing back then

"I'm just working in another country even though it's hard to make money, just to send you even though I know you just at the bar" Daddy said

"Daddy!!! Sorry, Sorry if you had to feel all that when Mommy cheated on you. I really thought that when I was in Senior High, you were the one who didn't like her, so she did that. I used to think it was okay that Mommy left you because I didn't know the whole story" I said to daddy while crying

"That's okay Simoune, so if you think no one understands you, It has! And that's me! I will understand you as long as I can because I am your father" Daddy said

We both cried, I don't know but somehow I feel better, I know daddy understands me because he has experienced this before

"But daddy, how did you move on with mommy when she cheated on you?" I asked

"It's simple, when I was getting addicted to alcohol and then I found out that the company's sales were down, I realized that what would my daughter's future have done if I just cried and got drunk? What about my daughter’s future if I will feel cheated on and then I will empathize with others for the pain I feel? That's why I decided to work hard again because I know you need that" Daddy said

I just realized that mommy is not my Hero because my real Hero who saved me is Daddy, I don't even think about money because Daddy is super open to give without knowing that Daddy worked hard for all that while I was just spending money

"But daddy? Have you really forgiven Mommy?" I asked

"Of course yes, because if I don't forgive her, I will be the only one who will be miserable and of course you will be miserable too" Daddy said

"So even if you see Mommy, it's okay with you?" I asked

"I saw her last month in Australia with her husband and they seem to be happy, so who am I to stop your mommy from being happy, right?" Daddy said while smiling at me, now it's more clear to me that it wasn't Daddy who left me, so I shouldn't be angry with Daddy, because the one who really lost me was Mommy

Mommy chose her own pleasure while daddy chose me because he loves me that much

"Thank you daddy for all your sacrifices for me, for the company and for my future" I said and I hugged daddy

"Welcome, you deserve it okay? So you will eat because you hasn't eaten all night" Daddy said while pointing at me

"I'm ashamed of you" I said

"You have nothing to be ashamed of because I love you and your Nanny Lily loves you, no one will judge you! Now what you need is to help yourself to be better because if you lock yourself away from Vince, you're the poor one" Daddy said

Daddy and I smiled and daddy hugged me very tight and I also hugged him tight.

"I am always here for you Simoune, and I will never leave" Daddy said

Anyway, I feel relieved because I know that I will never be miserable because daddy is here because this conversation is very helpful for me to know everything and the truth

I didn't have to ask for Vince's love because the one who truly loves me is my Daddy
