Chapter 34 - (Unedited) When We Fall in Love Part 3 (2/2)
”Okay.”
She got discharged at eight and they went back to their suite as nothing happened. She wears the thousands worth of gown, pair with diamond earrings and necklace. The makeup artist did well make her complexion fair.
Andy looked at the ring and smiled at it bitterly. She should be happy but they lost their baby. She shouldn't drink that much. She held herself not to cry but it's just too painful. She doesn't feel well yet, she wanted to get married today. The papers are almost done on the process. After the blessing of the priest, they will register soon.
A driver drove her to the church near the sea. She walked through the aisle with few flowers and there's only him and the priest. Zach was watching her walk with faint music. He's so anxious, doubting, finally he strode fast toward her. She stopped walking and looked at him. She knew it. She knew that he would eventually leave her yet she's still in denial.
”I love you.” Zach scooped her face. ”I am so sorry for not protecting you.” He kissed her forehead. ”This is not the time for us. I am not good enough for you.”
”No!” She gritted her teeth. Then tears started falling from her eyes.
”I'm sorry.” He took her hand and reach the engagement ring. Her eyes widen when he walked briskly out of the church.
She dropped the flower that she's holding and ran to him hugging him from behind, stopping.
”Please.” She cried. Zach unclasped her arm and strode quickly to the beach. ”Zach!” She shouted and stop him from throwing the engagement ring and wedding ring box. It didn't reach the sea.
She was on the verge of panicking. She hugged him in front and then she kneeled in front of him.
”Zach, don't leave me.” She pleaded and reach his hand. ”Zach...” She put his palm on her cheek. ”Don't me leave me. I'm begging you.”
Zach looked away trying to control his tears.
”Don't leave. I'm sorry that I killed our baby. Punish me but please don't leave me. I'll die...” She said the last two words almost like a whisper. Her heart was slowly shattering. Anytime it will burst out and die.
Zach knelt in front of her and scooped her face.
”I am not the man for you. I failed you. I didn't protect you.” He wiped her tears. ”Live for me.”
”Zach, let's continue the wedding. Okay?” She stood and walked down the beach and reach the wedding box and searched for the engagement ring. It didn't take long for her to search for it.
She faced him and run toward him. She hasn't reached him yet and Zach stepped back and walked out slowly.
She stood there, frozen as he walked away from her. That day, she died.
Andromeda sat up as she looked across the wall like she's seeing him walking away. Her stomach twists into knots and she held her mouth to avoid crying. She needed to be comforted. She doesn't want to rely on anyone or anything. So, she strode to the empty closet, climb up and sat there, hugged herself and rocked her body as she cried silently for the death of her unborn child. She killed her own child and Zach hated her for it.
