Isabella woke up feeling a lot better than she did the previous day. After returning from the hospital last night, she had been so weak that she went straight to her bed without bothering to change her clothes or even take a hot bath.She thought about everything that happened yesterday and shook her head. Angelo was certainly going to be the death of her. She needed to take the drugs the doctor had prescribed for her but before then she needed to eat.She quickly brushed her teeth and took a hot bath, after which she put on a simple gown, tied her hair, and went into the kitchen.She noticed that Angelo was cooking and was very shocked. With his huge size, no one would expect that he knew how to cook.But was he cooking for just himself or both of them? When he had been dead drunk, she had made herbal soup for him. Could it be that he was trying to return the favor and cook for her because she was sick?Isabella knew that Angelo would never do something that nice for her but what if
Christy's friends got up and they all left while Isabella slowly wiped the cake off her eyes until she was able to see a little. She managed to get to her room and wipe her face clean with tissues of paper.Meanwhile the moment Christy left Angelo's house, she called him and began to cry on the phone."What happened to you?" Angelo asked."It's that Isabella" Christy replied. "The cake she made was so horrible that none of us could even bear to taste it. I'm sure she deliberately made it taste bad so I would get mad.I merely asked her why the cake tasted so bad despite the fact that she had the whole day to make it but she became angry and smashed the cake on my face."Angelo was shocked, he had done worse things to Isabella and she didn't respond, why would she do a thing like that just because Christy asked her a question?"Did Isabella really smash the cake on your face?" Angelo asked."Yes she did" Christy replied. "My eyes are all red from trying to get the cake out. You can ask
Isabella didn't want to give her parents a reason to worry so she replied while sounding very happy, "I'm doing really good. Angelo isn't as bad as I thought and he has been very nice and caring towards me.He is going for a business trip in Sweden and asked me to come with because he is going to be lonely, so I won't be in Panama for a while. I will enjoy myself as much as I can and tell you all about it when I get back, I promise."Isabella's father felt so relieved when he heard how she sounded. He had been extremely worried ever since Isabella got married to and moved in with Angelo. He was constantly plagued with guilt because he believed that his daughter was suffering somewhere for no reason while he couldn't do anything for her despite having so much.Isabella's mum sent her greetings to Angelo and they finally said goodbye before Isabella ended the call.She laid on her body and curled herself on the bed sadly. She continually dreamt of the day when she would be happy again
Christy turned when Angelo stood up from the bed and she quietly watched him turn off the air conditioner and leave the room.She told herself that she had to quickly do something about Isabella because she was slowly softening Angelo's hatred towards her.Angelo came back later in the night when everyone else had slept off. He stared at the sleeping Isabella for a while before finally drifting off to sleep.The next morning, Isabella woke up very late because she had found it difficult to sleep. She kept waking up and sleeping back because of the uncomfortable position which she was in.She realized that Angelo and Christy were already dressed for the conference. Angelo wore a black suit and looked really handsome in it while Christy wore a black gown which complemented him.Isabella felt like she would be the third wheel among them and didn't want to go but Angelo said, "make sure I see you at the conference."She sighed and went into the bathroom to freshen up. After that, she call
Angelo felt something tugging at his right eye lid. He wanted to get it off but he was feeling completely listless. He ignored the sensation that was caused by the tugging but then felt a sharp sting on the right eye lid. He screamed and instinctively held his right eye but he discovered that he had been pinched by a little crab and smashed it with his hand.His body was covered with debris and some of them stuck to his white shirt. He took them off one after the other just as he loosened his blue tie.It suddenly occured to him that nothing was natural. He looked around him and realized he was in a beach. Behind him was a thick forest with rocks in front of it and in front of him was a big blue sea.He looked up and saw that the morning sun was shining and recalled everything that happened. He stood up immediately and opened his eyes in shock. He checked his wrist watch but it had stopped and he knew it was because of the water.He looked around him again and couldn't find Isabella.
Christy waited anxiously for the divers as they went farther and deeper into the sea.She paced up and down by the sea hoping desperately for good news. After hours of diving and searching, the divers finally came out and said there was no sign of them.Christy insisted that they search once more but the leader of the divers told her that it was futile because no matter how much they searched the waters, the result would still be the same.Christy ran back to her hotel room, locked herself in and threw her body on the bed. She kept crying uncontrollably as she recalled all the wonderful moments she had spent with Angelo.It may not have meant much to him but those moments were strongly embedded in her memories and she cherished every single one of them.~~~~~~~~~Angelo's stomach began to rumble and he knew that it was caused by hunger. He hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning and decided to search around for food.He thought of going closer to the sea to catch some fishes but
Isabella knew that she hadn't had her bath all day but decided to do so when it was dark. For now, it was more important to care for her mouth.At least, if she died later in the forest, it wouldn't be with a smelling mouth.She bent down when she got to the water and thoroughly washed the stick as much as she possibly could.When she was satisfied, she rinsed her mouth with the salty water and began to scrub her tongue with the stick. She scrubbed her teeth as well and scrubbed all over her mouth before rinsing it with the salt water again.When she was done, she smelled her mouth and told herself that it was much better now.She stood up and looked at the forest. The sun was going to set really soon and if she wanted to search for food it was better for her to do it before it became dark. She picked up one of the big sticks and began walking into the forest. She felt extremely afraid, especially because the only sounds she could hear were the ones made by the sea.She stood at the
Angelo's stomach began to make a rumbling sound once again. He looked at Isabella and asked, "what was it you said about going into the forest to get some food?"Isabella smiled and replied, "I'll get back to it right away."She began walking back to the direction of the forest while Angelo opened his eyes in surprise. He had refused to enter the forest because he believed it had wild animals. Was Isabella's courage really bigger than her body?But how could he let her endanger her life in that manner. He slowly ran towards her just as she got to the entrance and said, "wait, I can't let you go into the forest. Wait here and I'll go get us food to eat."Isabella smiled and lifted her head up to look at the coconut tree. Angelo followed her gaze and said, "no way, this is wonderful.""I know right" Isabella replied. "I was actually up there when I saw you walk into the beach. You have no idea how happy I felt. No matter what Angelo, I want you to live a really long life.""Yeah whateve
