Blanca’s Past
Blanca thought for a moment before she spoke from her heart. “No! I shouldn’t pick up the call right now.”
“I can contact him later, when I have calmed down. Maybe at that time, I can explain to him everything that happened to me. I don’t want to say something wrong that will only create new problems and can damage our relationship.” Blanca thought, which made her ignore the call until the call died.
She wanted to calm her feelings and thoughts first for a while before she communicated with Lorenzo again. Because of that, she immediately blocked Lorenzo’s contacts and all of Lorenzo’s social media.
“Maybe it’s time for me to forget about Lorenzo.” Blanca took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
She tried to calm her feelings, but she didn’t know that somehow all the bad moments in her life came back to her. She remembered his father often drinking and gambling.

At that time, Blanca’s father came home with the smell of alcohol coming from his mouth. He immediately asked for money from Blanca’s mother.
“Honey, where’s the money? I want to gamble.”
“We don’t have much money, Dad.” Blanca’s mother lied.
“Ah!” shouted Blanca’s father.
He didn’t believe the words that came out of the mouth of Blanca’s mother. He immediately went to the bedroom of Blanca’s parents and looked for money.
He took money from every bag and every wallet. Finally, from the bag of Blanca’s mother.
“Honey, don’t! Don’t do that!” Blanca’s mother tried to cancel her husband intention while she grabbed the money that Blanca’s father had taken.
Blanca’s mother begged him not to gamble. “Honey, please don’t gamble! Please, honey!”
“Ah! I’m dizzy.” Blanca’s father complained while slapping Blanca’s mother, which made her mother’s cheeks turn red.
“I want to gamble.” Blanca’s father argued.
“How long do you want us to stay as mediocre?” Blanca’s father asked
“If we win, I’m sure we can become rich and we can buy anything as we want.” He said it excitedly.
Then he laughed with great satisfaction. He imagined that he and his family would become so rich.
“Honey, what if you lose again?” asked Blanca’s mother.
“Ah! I won’t lose this time. I’m sure.”
“That time I won. So, how can I lose again this time?”
“Yes, Dad. What if you lose? You often lose, Dad!”
Blanca tried to remind her father. She thought that maybe her father would cancel his plan to bet at this time.
“Ah, you’re only a child! What do you know? Just shut up!” Her father slapped Blanca again.
“Come with me to the casino bar!” Her father immediately pulled Blanca’s arm out of the house.
“Dad, please let me go! I don’t want to go to the casino bar.” Blanca asked while trying to let go of her hand.
“Shut up!” shouted Blanca’s father while pinching Blanca’s hand.
“Do you want me to slap you or pinch you again?” asked Blanca’s father.
That made Blanca afraid. So Blanca immediately apologized for making her father angry.
“No, Dad. I’m sorry!”
“Dad, if you want to gamble, just do it by yourself! Don’t force me to join the gamble!” Blanca gave an advice.
“No need to advise me, Little girl!” her father shouted again.
“Remember! You’re only a girl.”
Blanca’s father pointed his index finger at Blanca. Then he flicked Blanca on the forehead. Blanca could only remain silent.
At that time, there was a taxi passing by. Blanca’s father immediately screamed. “Taxi!”
Not long after, a taxi stopped in front of them. Blanca’s father immediately opened the door and dragged Blanca into the car.
He also got into the car. Then he closed the car door with great force until it sounded. “Brak!”
“Where do you want to go?” asked the driver.
“Please take me to Lyero Casino Bar!” Blanca’s father ordered.
“Okay.” The driver drove them to the Lyero Casino Bar.
Blanca could only be silent during the trip. She was taken by her father to the Lyero Casino Bar because she was afraid of being abused by her father.
***
Not only that, Blanca also remembered when her father lost at gambling and hit the table so hard. At that time, his father shouted. “Ah!”
“I lose again! I lose again!” Her father complained at that time, which was still remembered in her mind.
She remembered when Trevor gave her father two choices: giving up Blanca or her parents’ house. Then, her father immediately decided to give Blanca to Trevor.
That night, Blanca was forced to have sex with Trevor, and her virginity was taken. Blanca could still remember the agony of being stabbed and tortured.
Because of this, she became Trevor’s girlfriend. After a long time, she was able to flee Trevor and have an affair with Loenzo behind his back. She also remembered very well about the agreement where she was not allowed to tell other people about it.
She immediately complained in her heart. “What I thought earlier is true. Lorenzo’s parents will definitely disagree with my relationship with Lorenzo.”
“Lorenzo’s parents only agree about my relationship with Trevor. I should have realized and I remembered all those things, but why do I fall in love with Lorenzo?”
“Why? Why did I even cheat on Trevor with Lorenzo? Why did I even break up with Trevor?”
“My father is right. I should have been loyal to Trevor.” She thought.
“But I’m not strong enough to be with Trevor all the time. I can’t bear it anymore. I can die if I stay with Trevor and don’t break up with him.”
“My body is already full of scars from Trevor. I have to escape, and it’s the first time I’ve been able to escape.” She said.
“Indeed, it’s because of my father. If my father didn’t gamble, everything will be fine, and they will accept me. They will agree with my relationship with Lorenzo.”
“But because my father was gambling and I had become the object of his bet, they don’t agree with my relationship with Lorenzo. They only agree with my relationship with Trevor.”
“They consider me the same as another betting item that they can do with as they please and as they please. So, they think I am not a good woman for Lorenzo.”
“Ah!” Blanca lamented.
Her tears flowed even more freely. Blanca has cried alone in her room for more than a half hour while she reflected on all of this.
“Don’t think about that again! I have to forget it.” Blanca decided.
“Now I have Lorenzo, who loves me and is loyal to me. He always takes care of me, and he cares for me so much.”
“Not only to me. He also does the same to my baby too.”
Blanca said as she looked down at her stomach. Then, a smile appeared on her face because she was happy.
She tried to smile more and accepted her past, even though it was difficult for her. She also wiped away her tears and tried to stop crying.
“Forget it! Forget it! Forget!” Blanca commanded her brain to forget about it, but somehow it remembered her again, and she remembered it even more.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Ah!” Blanca complained again.
At that moment, her phone rang. She immediately took her phone away while complaining.
“What’s wrong? Don’t people know it’s night?”
“It’s just bothering me.” Blanca complained again while she checked the notifications on her phone.
She saw that there was an incoming email from Lorenzo. She immediately asked in her heart as if she knew the answer.
“From Lorenzo? What else does he want to talk about, anyway?”
“About his parents disapproving of our relationship, huh? Isn’t he satisfied after he let me down and made me cry like this?” Blanca asked in her heart.
She immediately read the email from Lorenzo.
“Dear Blanca,
I’m Sans Lorenzo. I’m sorry to make you sad by asking you that! I know that’s my fault and I shouldn’t have asked you that question.
Actually, I just wanted to ask. I didn’t mean to upset you at all.
So, come on! Don’t be sad and think about that again! Let’s think about the fun stuff!
Regards,
Sans Lorenzo”
After she finished reading the email, she remembered that she had never given Lorenzo her email. She was confused, and she asked in her heart.
“So, how can Lorenzo know my email address? Who told him my email address? I never give him my email address.”
