Chapter 48: Chapter 48
SIMOUNE
I woke up at 8am and it looked like I was awake so I got up and made coffee, took my phone and sat on the beach. I was about to take a picture of the sea when suddenly someone notified me, I was surprised by so many because it was all about me
“You are so ugly! You're going to steal a boyfriend!”
"You're a flirt! You should be beaten"
"You have no shame, you are punishing your family"
"Didn't you feel sorry for the daughter of the girl you cheated on?!"
I even saw videos where my face was edited and horns were added. I suddenly softened, I feel like I want to get away from everything I'm experiencing right now, but I feel like I don't deserve everything they're doing to me. I don't deserve to be hurt so much, I couldn't stop crying because I feel so heavy. I was surprised when suddenly someone sat next to me and I turned around and it was Bruce
"Oh, why are you crying?" Bruce asked
"Nothing" I said while swiping my tears
"What is it? You don't cry for no reason! Is it because of Vince?" Bruce said
"Yes" I said
"Do you love him so much that you are so hurt?" Bruce asked
"Yes, and I regret that I loved him too much because now other people are making me an issue about him. I've been called flirtatious and shameless" I said while crying
"Huh!? Who says?" Bruce asked
I showed Bruce all the posts I found with my name on them
"We can report it, it's just dummy accounts that bash you! They are just jealous of you because you are so kind and beautiful!" Bruce said
"They don't envy me Bruce, they make fun of me because of what happened to me" I said
Bruce hugged me causing all my tears to fall, I don't know it was like going back to the beginning. I thought it was okay, I thought I could move on from what happened, I thought it was over but it wasn't. I've lost my appetite for everything again, I feel like I'd rather die than endure everything I'm going through, It's better to die so that I don't feel pain anymore, because I've lost not only Vince, but also my dignity.
Bruce got me up and sent me back to the cottage, I didn't feel like eating rice so I didn't eat
"Aren't you going to eat?" Bruce asked
"I don't feel like eating now Bruce, maybe later" I said
"Oh why don't you feel like eating Simoune?" Daddy asked
"Uncle, she saw the posts about her and made fun of her, so now she doesn't want to eat anymore" Bruce said
"I thought that was erased Bruce?" Daddy said
"That's a new post uncle" Bruce said
"You know?" I asked while looking at both of them
"Yes, that's why before I went to your house when we spent the night in your house, I deleted all the posts about you from my friend, because he said that we don't control new posts, so maybe you saw something today" Bruce said
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked while looking at them
"Because it's like that, because you'll get hurt! We don't want to hurt you, do we? So we made a way to delete the case, not delete all the posts about you" Bruce said
I don't know what I will feel like everyone knows something that I don't know. Why do I feel more hurt because they know something I don't know
"Isn't it more painful that you know but I don't know myself?" I said
"Alright, what would you do if we told you right away?" Bruce asked
I couldn't speak because Bruce was right, what would I do if he told me that? I think I will be hurt in different ways
"Forget that for now Simoune, let's have fun!" Lucy said
"I hope it's that easy to have fun" I said
“We're on vacation now! Let's go to the lighthouse very much!” Lucy said and hold me
They got dressed so I did the same, there was nothing else I could do but go with them wherever they were going even if I didn't want to. I'm just thinking about how I'll look at school when I go after all the thing's happened.
BRUCE
I don't know how I will feel now that Simoune knows about the posts about her, I can't do anything because she has seen it and now she is hurting because of Vince. Vince had such a great impact on Simoune, that until now Simoune thinks of nothing but Vince
Vince got himself a fish so now Simoune is all suffering, while he now seems to have been released from the hospital. Simoune did nothing but go with the lighthouse where we are stuck now
When we got there, we could see the sea, it was really beautiful. I support Simoune until we get up to the Lighthouse
When we got here, Nanny Lily was serving us food for lunch. It's a bit far from the hotel and cottage we went to, so it's better to eat before wandering around
"Let's eat first" Nanny Lily said
"Let's eat Simoune" I said
"I don't feel like it yet Bruce, maybe later" Simoune said
It's not possible for us to wander around when Simoune's stomach isn't empty yet so I served food and followed her
"Wow" I said
"Bruce, don't worry I'm not hungry" Simoune said
"It is impossible that you are not hungry, we who ate breakfast are already hungry from walking. Then, you telling me your not hungry?” I said
"Alright Simoune, eat what Bruce is doing for you too, you'll get sick from what you're doing" Daddy said
Simoune didn't do anything but smile and I tried her rice with a dish. After we finished eating, we were able to take a walk near the lighthouse. We also took pictures at the lighthouse, after we went up to the lighthouse and took pictures Lucy invited us to go to the sea
"Let's go to the sea, we can only bathe in the sea once. So let's make the most of it" Lucy said
"Alright, I'll just get dressed" Simoune said
I see that Simoune is sad compared to yesterday when she was smiling. So I will not let Simoune's sadness get worse. When we got dressed, we went to the beach and talked
"I know that you feel pain Simoune, I will not deny it because I was not the one who was hurt but for now, I hope you enjoy the view we went to. Remember? Uncle spent money just so we could have a staycation" Lucy said
"I'm trying to be happy even now but you really can't hide your sadness" Simoune said
We hugged Simoune and she cried
"I don't know why all this is happening to me, I just wanted to be loved but this is what happened at first I thought I was lucky because Vince became my boyfriend, but I was wrong" Simoune said
"That's how trial and error we are in finding the right person for us and it just so happens that Vince is the wrong person for you and if the right person comes to you, you must be open to him, you must love him! You know that the person for you is right next door" Lucy said
"I hope he finds me and I find him, I don't want anything else but to love me properly" Simoune said
If you loved me, Simoune, you wouldn't have to go through all of this, because the longer it lasts, the more I love you. I don't even understand myself. I know that I'm really just your friend, but here I am hoping that one day you'll like me and if that day comes, I will never waste it! I will love you the way I know how and I will love you the way you want.
...
Since Simoune found out about all the posts about her, she couldn't help but feel sad, because she was thinking about how she would be when they got married. Simoune thinks about what will happen at school and what other people will say who thought the relationship between Vince and Simoune was perfect but now it ended up being a fool
Bruce called Tony to delete the posts about Simoune again and Tony deleted them immediately. Somehow Simoune is more comfortable using facebook and instagram because she doesn't see the posts about her anymore but she doesn't deny that she's sad and she's hurt by what's happening to her because it's not what she wanted
While they travel to the lighthouse, Bruce supports Simoune, he also feeds her because if Simoune is not forced to eat, she will not eat, they also decided that they would sleep in the lighthouse because they were allowed here, but not inside the lighthouse but near the sea. Tomorrow is their last day and the last place they will go to is Mt. Carmel Chapel is one of the famous churches here in Batanes, so they decided to visit it, they made another bonfire and slept in the tent while hearing the strong waves from the sea
Until when will Simoune's heart be hurt by everything that is happening?
Where is the cure for all the pain that Simoune feels?
