She finds out the reason behind it and decides to avenge her death by hurting and shaming men—until she meets a Romanian Gypsy, Harman. She is now confused about her feelings for him while she keeps reminding herself that she’s only playing a game with him…
View MoreHarman kneeled in front of Alodia when she sat on the edge of the bed in Harman’s room. An open small box with a twinkling diamond ring met her eyes when she looked at it. She thought he must have prepared it long ago, knowing that he truly loved her since the day he set his eyes on her on their way to Romania.“Can I officially hold on to you forever, iubirea mea?” His eyes searched hers as he asked that question.“Can you tell me first why you gave me the papucul doamnei?” she asked him, looking intently at his waiting handsome face.“To let you know that you are rare and difficult to find,” he answered with amusement.She laughed at that and wound her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes. “I should say you’re very rare too, Harman. I wouldn’t find any man who’s like you. Never in the whole world!”“I know,” he agreed, proud of himself, ma
Harman, in turn, gently caressed her back. “All is forgiven now,” he said quietly in her ear. “And just for the record, I never had a grudge on you for leaving me that day. But I just thought I’d died. My life was so meaningless without you, Alodia. I was working so hard just to find you. I just loved you everyday more and more, iubirea mea. Just that you were not there by my side. That was what hurt me so much! And that I couldn’t hug you, kiss you and make love to you…” He kissed her neck then; his lips felt the fast-beating pulse there.“B-but… if I confess something to you… would you forgive me?” She wriggled free from his embrace and looked him in the eye. Her eyes were filled with tears.“Alodia, I love you so much! I don’t even know why I love you so much. Why won’t I forgive you? And I’ve even already accepted that my family won’t ever forgive me again, e
The other woman smiled at her. She could see that there was a change in her. She could feel that this woman’s smile was genuine this time.Maybe it is because of Harman. She has him already in her life, she thought dejectedly.“You still have a grudge on me, huh?” Laili stated and stepped closer to Alodia. She looked fashionable in her cream-colored long winter coat.“And why not? You’re the reason that…” and she halted. It was all in the past. “Why are you here, by the way? If… you’re looking for your husband, he’s not living in that house but that one across the street. This one right here is my friend’s.” She pointed the houses respectively while she spoke, trying to not blow up in Laili’s face.Why did I even think of talking to her when she called me anyway? Now, she regretted it.The other woman chuckled. “My husband you’re sayi
Alodia didn’t know how she got home because of the memories and different thoughts that bothered her. She felt like a zombie walking after she off the bus. It was even a miracle for her to arrive home still in one piece. She was so damn tired! And she fell into the couch like a defeated soldier.She stirred from her disturbed nap because of the doorbell. It was like there was an emergency. She didn’t know she’d fallen asleep when her body hit the couch. When she glanced at her wrist watch, it was already past six in the evening.“Shit! Nicu!” She ran toward the door to open it.Then, she stepped back when she saw Harman with Nicu. The kid came in and looked at her desperately for a second or two.“You’re such a loser, Alodia!” he said gaily. “You forgot to pick me up at school!” he complained in his usual gay tone. There was no grudge in this boy, which amazed her.However, she frowned at
Alodia literally jumped back because of it. Her hand was on her breast. She turned and walked away from him, as fast as she could. But Harman followed her and held her arm tightly.“Will you stop running away from me? If you do, I’ll still follow you around. You know that!” he said in a hard tone. She looked at him with desperation in her eyes. She thought he was just one of those men that she left with a broken heart. She would let them fall in love with her and leave them high and dry, and then, she was on her merry way.“How could you still follow me around when I’ve already left you? I already threw you away like garbage!” But actually, he was like a shadow that she wanted to get rid of. She had her own reasons besides her revenge on men.“Yes, I even asked myself that same question. Why am I doing this? You killed me when you left me. My heart
“You already took care of me and Nicu, Alodia. That was all I asked of you, right? Besides, you’ve done more than you ever know. You made me strong when my husband was gone. You came into my life and Nicu’s just in time! And believe it or not, I found the best friend in you. You never left me high and dry,” she said and laughed, quoting her. “And I want to do the same for you. I’ll be by your side to get you through this, Alodia. That’s a promise. So, you have to show me that you are strong, too. You’re not like Alyanna. You’re different from your sister. You can do this. You were able to get through this before. Why not again? Just think of it as a replay.” Her friend soothed her by rubbing her back gently.She tried to nod as she continued to cry. It still hurt especially that it was about Harman. She thought she was over him after all these years. But then, she had loved him still all these years. And nothing chan
Nicoleta was looking at Alodia while she played her necklace without thought. It was the necklace that Harman gave her on her birthday. Until now, she was wearing it and she never parted with it ever since. It was the only thing that seemed to link her with him and their past.She knew that Harman hadn’t got to her when she left Vaslui on her own years ago. She went back to Iustina’s house and because it was her last week of her employment and she didn’t wish to extend her contract, she went back to the Philippines. And she wanted to accept that one that was far away from Bucharest. It was Iaşi then.“Is something wrong, Alodia? I thought you wanted to extend the contract with us.” Iustina felt sorry that she was going to leave soon.“I’m sorry, Petru, Iustina. I just don’t want to see… Harman anymore. I’ve already told you about his predicament. And I don’t think I’ll come bac
The table was ready when Laili came together with some women who were her cousins to “chaperone” her that Alodia wanted to puke. As if Laili didn’t go to the man’s condo in the middle of the night alone!Laili was surprised to see her there together with Harman. It appeared that Flavie “missed” to tell her that significant information. But then, the other woman was very fast at recovery. She kissed Harman’s cheeks like the usual greeting she does. It was months perhaps since they saw her last… after what happened in his condo that New Year’s Eve.And as usual, they ignored each other. But deep inside, she was affected by the other woman’s presence among Harman’s relatives. She seemed to be at home and was indeed very welcome there.Alodia was beside him at the table the whole time during dinner. But when the time for dancing came, she was left behind as he danced to a popular manele song
It was summer when Harman brought Alodia along with him to Vaslui to introduce her to his family. However, not everyone was happy to see or meet her. She could see their enmity and coldness. Only a few were sincerely happy for Harman in tagging her along to his original home.“Don’t mind them,” one of his aunts, Fairuza, said. She was quite voluptuous and wore the traditional Gypsy clothes, long colorful skirt and printed blouse. She wore some fashion accessories like dangling earrings and many bracelets. Probably some of her bracelets were made of real gold though. She had really no eye for what was real or not but she just guesstimated.They were in the kitchen at the time while Harman was out in the living room to catch up with his cousins.“It’s… not so easy to do that,” she admitted with a bitter smile.Just as she said, Flavie, Harman’s cousin walked into the kitchen with a cordless phone in her hand.
Alodia blew her breath before she pressed the doorbell button of his condo unit at around eight in the evening.“A-Alyanna?” Emerson’s face was surprised to see her there when he opened the blue-gray door. He wore a white sando and a pair of board shorts, revealing his well-built body. He was taller than she realized, when she was now close to him. Her height was just up to his shoulder.Why did he call her by that name with those luscious red lips? Didn’t he recognize her? Didn’t he know that Alyanna had a twin sister and that his girlfriend just died?Their eyes held for a few seconds. His eyes were light brown and beautiful, which was enhanced by a nearly perfect eyebrows, which was a bit thick though. His nose was straight that she thought he must have good genes.Suddenly, an idea came up in her mind. She slowly pulled her lips into a sweet and sunny smile. So, there was a way that she could avenge her sister’s dea
