Love Worth Fighting For

“I didn’t come to this place to confront anyone including you, Christ.” Zwetta finally refocused on Christian who was back standing next to Jack and Kainer who looked so worried for Christian. “My purpose in coming here is to seek redress from all of you, especially you, Christian.”

“Compensation?” Christian repeats Zwetta’s in a slightly hoarse voice.

Zwetta nodded. “Yes, compensation. Compensation for all the time you forcibly stole from me.”

“Please get straight to the point, Zee. Don’t make us more confused,” said Jack carefully, Jack who had previously decided not to interfere in Christian and Zwetta’s matters finally couldn’t hold back.

“I want to hold you accountable for Luna’s death.” Zwetta spoke loudly. “You all made it impossible for me to see Luna while she was still alive.”

“Zee.” Areez steps forward, shielding Christian and Jack from the piercing gaze of Zwetta who is filled with anger. “Previously I apologize if I have to interfere in your and Christian’s problems, I just want to express my opinion a little as a person who cares about your relationship. Believe me, Christian and all his family members have tried their best to make Luna recover. Mr. Jack has even been looking for a donor heart for Luna in the underworld where his actions are illegal, but Mr. Jack still does it for Luna. Likewise with Christian, Christian has tried everything to make Luna recover until finally God wills otherwise. “It’s useless because God loves Luna more than all of us, God can’t bear to see Luna continue to endure pain, that’s why God took Luna home.”

Zwetta’s chest felt very tight, even though the one talking to her at this time was Areez but her heart was very hurt to hear the man’s words. How bad was your condition at that time dear?

“I can talk like this because I saw for myself what they did to heal Luna, so please don’t blame them on you. Everything that happened to Luna was completely out of our control as humans,” Areez said again.

.....

“The one who lost Luna was not only you, dear. We were all very devastated by Luna’s death.”

From behind Anne replied to Areez’s words, Anne and Suri who had been peeking from the second floor immediately rushed downstairs after Robin and Andres left. Anne, who is very worried about Christian’s condition, immediately runs to the park where all her loved ones are gathered, facing Zwetta who is demanding Christian’s responsibility for Luna’s death.

The tears that Zwetta time finally spilled down her cheeks, Zwetta to not cry in front of the people she hated, was finally shattered into pieces.

“We have tried our best to make Luna recover, honey. We have also tried all the best care for her but returned to God’s will, God wants Luna to return to Him,” said Anne again with mixed feelings stir, seeing Zwetta cry silently made her heart shatter. Anne knew that the girl who was crying in front of her was currently very broken. Anne looks like she is in the mirror, she sees herself in Zwetta. All of Zwetta ‘s current reminded him of herself when she lost Princess decades ago.

“And I’m sorry for being late in telling you about Luna.” Christian finally spoke again.

“Why....why didn’t you tell me about Luna from the start, Christ?”

“I didn’t expect you to be Elena, Zee. Even though you have the same face as Elena, I don’t think you and Elena are the same person,” Christian answered honestly. “If only I had known from the start that you were Elena, then that very second I would take you to the hospital to meet our daughter, to meet Luna who is waiting for you.”

“You are lying.”

“For God’s sake I’m not lying, Zee,” Christian says loudly. “I didn’t think you were Elena at all, although to be honest I was really shocked when I first saw your face. But it was just a simple shock, nothing more. I really don’t have any prejudice about you, all I say is this is honesty that comes from the deepest of my heart including my feelings for you. I really love you, I fell in love with you this morning even though at that time you didn’t have any memory of me.”

Slowly Zwetta wiped her tears, she was not at all touched by the sweet words that Christian was saying at this time. Her anger at the man was far greater than anything at this moment, which was why Zwetta was not at all tempted by the seductive words Christian made for her.

“I really fell in love with you again, Zee. I fell in love with you when you became Elena and when you became Zwetta,” Christian said again without shame to reveal all his feelings to Zwetta in front of everyone he knew. Even though Zwetta had him down, Christian wasn’t angry at all. Christian was so excited when he spoke.

Zwetta tilted her head. “Aren’t you ashamed to talk to me like that, Christ? After what you did to me while pregnant with Luna one year ago, you still dare to say such rubbish words to me? You really are a man who has no shame at all, Christ.”

Even though he had prepared himself to face Zwetta’s, in fact Christian still felt sad when Zwetta brought up his biggest mistake.

“Aren’t there second chances for me, Zee?”

“You want a second chance after all the mistakes you’ve made ?” Zwetta immediately reacted.

“You really are a shameless man, Christian. You should be ashamed to talk to me like that after what you did to me for months at the villa back then. You even had the heart to forbid me from attending Jody and Camila Wilson’s funerals. who at that time became my parents, the two people who made me feel the warmth of living in that family. One thing I have never felt since childhood, don’t you have the heart to forbid me from attending funerals, even now I don’t know where they are buried and after that all of you still dare to confess love to me?!”

Christian’s chest felt tight, Zwetta made it difficult for him to breathe.

“And what did you say earlier, madam? You said that Christian lost Luna so much? Just so you know, at that time Christian forced me to take the contraceptive pill that your family doctor prescribed when Luna was growing in my stomach.”

“What?!” shrieked Anne and Jack at the same time.

Zwetta smiled. “In the first place he didn’t want a child from me at all, so it’s very unlikely that he would feel the loss of Luna’s death as soon as your husband. This honorable Mr. Jackson Clarke at that time came to me at the villa and said many things that should not be said from a gentleman like him, so stop telling me if you all feel sad for the death of my child. The only person who misses the most over Luna’s death is me, the mother who conceived and gave birth full of struggle and tears. A mother who has never seen what a daughter’s face looks like what she fought so hard for for months, and all of that happened because of your beloved son. He was the one who made me unconscious after giving birth to Luna until finally Robin came and took me forcibly back to New York and made me forget about Luna. You’re all as jerks as Robin.”

Zwetta’s words not only hurt Jack and Christian, Anne, who just found out that Christian had forced Zwetta to take contraceptive pills, looked so sad and disappointed. She didn’t expect that her proud son would do such a lowly thing to a girl, a girl who was carrying his baby.

With such great guilt, suddenly Anne threw herself in front of Zwetta. Anne knelt down with her head lowered.

“Mommy!!” Suri immediately reacted. “What is Mommy doing?”

Anne raised her hand, signaling Suri and the others not to approach her. “I really didn’t know about it, I didn’t know at all that my husband and son had gone that far to you Zee. On behalf of my son and husband, I want to sincerely apologize to you. I sincerely apologize for what was done to you Zee. Will you forgive them?”

“You went this far to apologize on behalf of your son and husband?”asked Zwetta disbelief, seeing Anne kneeling like that made her feel uncomfortable. The only person in the Clarke family who didn’t hurt her was Anne, that’s why Zwetta felt a little annoyed to see the graceful woman lower her self-esteem like that.

Anne nodded without hesitation. “As a wife and mother I have failed, as well as a grandmother. That’s why I want to apologize to you, I apologize for my ignorance of what my husband and son did. I sincerely ask you for forgiveness for all my ignorance, Zee.”

“Anne..” Jack called Anne’s name in a muffled voice, seeing his wife begging for forgiveness for him like this made his heart ache.

“You want me to forgive your husband and son, madam?”asked Zwetta quietly.

“Yes, I want you to forgive all of us, not just Jack and Christian. Please give us all one more chance to make up for all our wrongs with you,” replied Anne excitedly.

“Ok, I will forgive all of you but on one condition.”

“Conditions, what conditions do we have to do to get forgiveness from you, Zee?” Christian immediately interrupted Zwetta’s quickly.

“Are you sure you can do what I ask?”asked Zwetta quietly.

Christian nods excitedly. “Yeah, I can definitely do it for you. As long as it makes you forgive us, then I’ll gladly do it. Now tell me, what conditions do you want?”

“I will forgive and forget all your mistakes if you give me to move Luna’s grave.”
