Cruel Fate (Book 1)

Cruel Fate-o9.5

We entered immediately in the sacrament hall, I sat down at the front row, where Shawn seated. Brother Alarcon, our bishop here in Masagana first ward, started to speak and said, "Good afternoon brothers and sisters, welcome to our sacrament meeting. To begin this, let's sing our opening hymn "The Spirit of God" page 2, our pianist is sister Schubert and Brother Shawn Buena Vista will lead the opening prayer."

Shawn's POV

I already knew that I'm going to lead the prayer today, because bishop Alarcon assigned me since last week. After few seconds of silence, the pianist started to play the opening hymn, then I started to sung. I really love to sing this song, but noticed that there was something wrong with Simone, he obviously have a big problem, later I'll talk to him. The song ended, so I stood up, and walked until I got in front of the pulpit, where everyone can see me. I started and said, "Heavenly Father as we humbly present ourselves here today to worship thee, we thank thee for a blessed day that you given to us, We also thank thee Father for protecting and guiding us for our daily lives. Now we ask thee to comfort and help us to the trials that we suffering these days, all these things we pray in the name of Jesus Christ Amen." As I finished my prayer, I walked back to my chair.

Brother William went in front of the pulpit and started to speak. He took about fifteen minutes for his topic that all about how merciful our Father in Heaven was, and also about forgiving sins. Tears spread all over the face of Simone, I can't help myself, I immediately asked him, "why are you crying?" He replied, "um... nothing" then he quickly wiped his tears and went outside the sacrament. "Simone, Simone! Wait for me" I stated while running towards him, but he didn't stop. When I already caught him up, " Is there any problem you want to say?" I asked, and he insisted to answer, so I grabbed his polo and make him face me and said "if you have problem, just tell me, maybe I can give you some advises. Unfortunately still no response and he just looking on the ground, and he immediately pulled me and ran away, "Simone!!! Simone!!!" I called him trying to stop him.

Simone's POV

"Simone!!! Simone" I heard Shawn's voice, but I keep running, I just want to go home. As I finally got out from the chapel, I picked up a tricycle and went home. I quickly opened the main door of my house then got inside, I took off my shoes and ran upstairs and got inside my bedroom. I slammed the door and threw myself on my bed, and I said "Brother William was wrong, not all sins can be forgiven, it can be, but still depends what kind of sin a person committed. For my father's case it can't be and should not be forgive" I wiped my tears using my bed sheet, then I stood up, I went near at my trash bin, I bent and grabbed it. Now I found the letter of my father, I suddenly want to know what he said, but I didn't read it yet, because I don't gave a gut, so I decided that I will make Shawn read it to me. I got my phone and I called Shawn, the church serving still not yet finish, that why he still not pick it up. After maybe 30 seconds, he finally picked up and said, "Hello Simone?" Then I replied "Can we meet on the sea shore near at my house? I just want to talk to somebody" "Oh sure, count on me, but maybe later 4:30 after the church service" he said with excitement. I hanged up, then put the letter inside my pocket, I looked at the clock and it's already 4:00, I decided to go to the place where Shawn and I will meet up. I got my keys and put it inside my bag, then I went downstairs, and when I finally got out from my house, I locked the door. I went immediately to the seashore, I need to wait him about less than 30 minutes, so I sit down on the sand.

"Simone" Shawn called, and I faced him and said, "come over here, sit beside me" so Shawn immediately came near me and sat. "By the way Shawn, I just want to apologize to you about earlier" I said with a soft voice then he immediately replied, "Oh... just forget about it, but tell me honestly, what is your problem?" I can see his curiosity and concern to his face, waiting for my answer. As I opened my mouth, his face got closer to mine, that make me smirked and said, "I'll tell you Shawn, but keep a little bit distance between us, okay?" "Ohh... sorry, I really just want to know what's bothering you" he replied with an embarrassed expression. "So do you remember my Dad?" "Of course, how can I able to forget him? He stood as my second father when he still lives" he replied with a bright smile on his face. "Seem so nice and loving right? I said with a sarcastic expression, "But is not really, HE WAS JUST BIG STUPID LIAR, HE IS A DEMON!!" My eyes really widened and I can't breath in a normal way because of anger flowing across my veins. Shawn was shocked, maybe because of my expression or maybe because of what I said, he did not even say a word. "I guess you can't believe it right?" I asked, then he shaky nodded his head, "But don't worry, I'll explain to you in the simplest way, but before that I just want you to read something for me" I said while I'm getting the note of my father inside my left pocket. As I got the note, I gave it to Shawn, and he got it it using his left hand. While he opening it, I saw his curious face, "What is this?" He asked "Just  read it" I replied with a serious tone. "Simone... I really don't how to start this but I just want to say sorry for everything. I know you can't forgive, so please son go far away, forget about me and all the pain I make. Live your life to the fullest, keep away from things that make you remember your past, continue your studies, and be a successful man someday, as your mother dreamed to you. And I hope someday you'll forgive me my son, Simone" After I heard that, I just stared at the sand, I can feel my tears will soon to burst. Shawn suddenly spoke and said, "I really don't understand, what did your father do to you?" Then my tears finally fell down from my eyes, I answered "my father killed her wife because he didn't love my mother anymore" I saw the reaction of Shawn, and I'm pretty sure that he can't believe. Shawn opened he's mouth, like he wants to say something but no words escape. I suddenly stood up, my eyes widened because if anger. "Shawn..." I called, then he stood up and said "yes?" Then I said "I have a favor to ask you" and he asked, "what is it? I'll do it if it's something I can do" I immediately response, "I want to yell my name out loud at the top of my lungs, is that okay?" Then Shawn replied "why not? Just don't mind me and go ahead" so I intuitively yelled "Simone!!! Simone!!! Simone!!! Mommy!!! Mommy!!!! I miss you!! I really miss you mommy!!! I'll never forgive you Daddy!! I will never!!! I'll forget about you!! My mommy and Simone!!! I'll be born again, I'll live a different life!!! Different world that you created to me!!! Simone!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!!"

Shawn's POV

I really pitied Simone, I saw how deep his wound in his heart was, but I don't know how I can help him. "Shawn" I looked at the face of Simone, I still saw the sadness on his face. I finally spoke "Yes?" Then he replied "I'll go inside my house" my eyes got widened because of surprise, I didn't notice that we are already in front of Simone's house. "What's wrong Shawn?" He asked me curiously and I said, "Um... nothing I just want to say that if you need anything just come to my house, okay?" Then he replied "thank you for everything, see you" Simone finally got inside to his house. I stared at his house for a moment, I can't believe what happened to Kyle who made this house a home. I didn't imagine Kyle that I treated my second father will kill his wife for another woman. As I continued walking, I finally made in front of house, as I opened our black gate, I walked inside the closed it.

Simone's POV

I'm staring on the mirror, looking in my reflection, I guess I'm really looked tired because of the depression I suffered. Now I'm really determined that I will definitely change my life, sooner my fate will be different from this. I suddenly stood up, I got my travel inside the storeroom, then put it on my bed. I used my right hand to unzip the zipper of my bag, then I opened my closet, staring at my clothes, deciding what should I wear. I grabbed five T-shirts and threw them on my bed near at my bag, I also grabbed five shorts, three pants, and of course under garments and threw them all on my bed. Now I closed the closet, then I sat down, I folded the first T-shirt that I chose and put it in the bag. After maybe thirty minutes I folded all the clothes and put it in my bag, then eventually I closed the zipper, then put the bag on the side of my study table. Tomorrow will be definitely a long day, so I lay down on my bed, grabbed the bed sheet and covered my body, then I fell asleep.
