CHAPTER 22: CLARIFICATION
What the fuck?
All this time, my suspicion was true!
My suspicion that Seth and Lily knew each other was true!NôvelDrama.Org © content.
And here they are now in front of me, together! And that's not all. Lily was holding Seth's arm.
"Oh my gosh, Minakels!" Lily screamed flirtatiously but I ignored her even though the truth was that my hand was itching to slap her.
I just walked straight and didn't pay attention to them.
But it looks like Lily is looking for physical pain because she chased after me and held my hand.
"My gosh, Mina. It's been a long time. Seriously, you look even more beautiful-" She stopped talking when my palm slapped her face.
Seth immediately approached us and intervened. I pointed at them both so Lily acted. I thought Lily would retaliate with a slap but I was wrong because she just touched the cheek that I slapped. "Ouch, Mina. What have I done to you? Seriously, huh? if I only knew you were going to slap me, I wouldn't have greeted you. Why are you so mad at me?"
I put my left hand over my mouth. I really can't believe what she's up to and what she's saying. Curse this bitch! Where did she borrow the thickness of her face and she even has the guts to face me? And my eyebrows met when Seth grabbed her and placed her in the back as if he was protecting the woman against me!
Damn it! What? Am I more dangerous than Lily?! Ha!
I breathed a few times because I felt like I was gonna faint. It is like someone is torturing me inside.
Why did I come here to Manila?! Look what I got! Nothing! Just a headache! Because the people I was avoiding are here in front of me and are disturbing my quiet world again!
"You are a bitch, Lily! Are you stupid or are you just really stupid ?!"
"Mina, please, not here..." Seth begged and he was about to touch me but I slapped his hand.
"Don't you dare fucking touch me, Seth Capestrana! I hate you! " I turned to Lily like a poor wet cat because of her look. "And you, you have no delicacy! We are compatriots, we live in the same barangays, but what did you do! There's a lot of men in the world, but you chose my husband to be your prey! But you're still not satisfied, you even broke us apart! You're not just a hostess, you're a mistress too!" I shouted and my tendon almost came out in rage.
I no longer care if people passing by looking at us and talking. All I want to happen is for me to let go of my resentment.
When Seth stepped closer to me I slapped him too. He was unmoved and seemed to let me out of all my frustration in life.
"Shame on you, Seth! I trusted you because you are Tricia's brother, my best friend! But what, just because of that woman, you fooled me ?! "I pointed at Lily who was still looking straight at me. This woman's face is thick because no matter what I say it won't even affect her! "What did this woman feed you, her cunt ?!"
"Oh my gosh, Mina, nothing like that happened, okay? Stop what you are saying. I'm terrified of you. Okay. In order to answer what is in your brain and stop accusing me, I will admit the truth."
"No need, Lily!" I sarcastically refrain from what she says. "Because I already knew that Tranz was with you—"
"Lily and I are sisters, Mina... Lily is our younger sister."
I looked at the speaker first. And there I saw Tricia. I don't seem to understand what she means yet. And when Tricia's words were finally registered, my world almost shook.

"W-what d-did you say?" My voice trembled as I spoke. I looked at Lily who was looking at me. Her stare seemed to say it was my fault because I hadn't listened to them first.
I cried again because I felt like I was the only one in the world. The three people in front of me did everything to ruin me.
"T-that's why it's so easy for you to fool me because that woman is your sister! You sided with her even though she was doing something wrong! Your sister is a hooker, but what, instead of stopping her from what she is doing, you're tolerating her!"
"Mina ... Please, don't be like that. Even though I am not related to your family, I consider you as my family because, in the times when I thought I was alone in the world, you and your family were there. That is why I will never be able to betray you, Mina, "Lily said calmly.
If she can fool others, she can't fool me. How foolish to believe her angelic words!
"Why should I believe you, eh, you liar! I heard you, Lily! I heard you and Tranz talking! You're talking to him! You are the one who insists that Tranz break up with me! All right, deny what I say or I put your heel in your mouth!" She was stunned by what I said and even looked up as if remembering the day I said.
"Oh my gosh! Were you there at that time?" I did not answer her silly question. "It wasn't you I was pertaining to, Mina. The truth is that I'm annoyed with your husband because I thought he had a relationship with Samantha ..." "Who's Samantha?" My eyebrows rose at what I heard. What is this again?
"She is my schoolmate and she does OJT in your husband's company. I saw them four times I think so I thought they had a relationship so when I last saw them I went to your house and warned your stupid husband ... I didn't know you would hate that."
"And one more thing, Mina, I never had an intimate moment with your husband, okay? So I can't be your husband's mistress."
Because of what she said I suddenly remembered the night before my husband and I were married.
"T-the night before I got married, you said you were going to a stag party ..."
She nodded and when she got what I wanted to say she laughed. "You surprised me, Mina. Why didn't you ask? Crazy, Tantan was the groom. My ex from Manila married an American. You saw me outside with your husband that night, no? "I did not answer. "He just accompanied me. It was just an accident that we met. And another thing, Tranz and his friends, they're just drinking back then and there was no woman."
"O-on the night of the accident, why are you together?" I asked again. "Was that just an accident, huh?"
"Even if you believe it or not, Kuya Seth was with me that night. Kuya Seth himself provided first aid to Tranz. While in the hospital, Tranz asked me to accompany him. I didn't know you fought with him, eh." "I-if s-so, who is my husband's mistress?" I cried again.
I thought the question would be clarified in my mind, but it only got more complicated because of Lily's answers to me.
"G-God knows, I didn't betray Tranz. I have been a kind wife. I did everything for him ... But why is this happening in my life?"
They approached me. They led me until we reached the room they were occupying. Seth gave me water. They let me cry before we talked again.
"Do you know the news about your husband, Mina?" Lily asked me.
"About what? That he's barren?" Her siblings were surprised by what I said. "Yes. But I don't believe that Tranz is not capable of getting me pregnant, Lily, because he got me pregnant! And it's not true that I have a man!" "Why don't we talk to Samantha?" Lily's suggestion.
"Why?" I ask.
"Maybe she did something out of the ordinary. Her brother is a doctor. We will not lose something if we talk to them, eh." I knew Tranz's doctor so I asked what Samantha's last name was. "Gonzalez." I clasped my hand. What Lily says is unlikely to happen especially that Tranz's doctor's name is Denver Gonzalez.
