???EPISODE 37???
Few days later, Mrs Whyte burial arrangements was made. She was later buried and ru-by returned back to her normal life.
To get more money, ru-by opened a small poultry farm. She employed 2 workers to take care of the farm, Business was later successful for her. It had been 3 months already.
ru-by decided to go to the prison to visit Mike and also meet with Phili-p in his apa-rtment. She had to forgive them like how Ryan asked her to.
********************
Mike was taken to the visitor’s room by the prison ward who held a long bat.
He scoffed as soon he saw ru-by. He sat down without looking at her face.
“What are you doing here? Did you come to make mockery of me?” Mike asked.
“I wish I could,–Mike…. I hope you are remorseful of what you did, I know you are also regretting it, But I’m going to let it go now, Let’s not hold grudges against each other, But if you manage to see me in the nearest future, Pretend I’m just a stranger” ru-by softly said.
Mike looked at her and sighed dee-ply.
“I must say this, But I guess you are quite right, I’m sorry for what I did, I wasn’t in my right mind then, It just seemed like I was being controlled but I have to thank you for letting this go, Just like that” Mike said as ru-by smiled.
***************
Phili-p had to pay a hu-ge amount of money as fine for @$$aulting ru-by, and Unluckily did him, His business failed big time making him bankrupt. He didn’t have much anymore and depended on people. ru-by located his small apa-rtment and went to see him. Phili-p was so shocked when he saw her. He invited her into his room and gave her a seat.
“Welcome” He muttered as he wiped off his sweat from his face.
ru-by nodded as she looked at him. She sighed dee-ply in pity.
“Phili-p… I–
“Please ru-by, Forgive me…. I’m so sorry, Find it in your heart to forgive me, Please …I’m so sorry for causing you pain” Phili-p interrupted as he went on his knees. He had already started crying.
“No, Please! Get up, I’ve forgiven you already, A long time ago… Please! Don’t do it, Just get up” ru-by pleaded as she lifted him to his feet.
“Really? I’ve been forgiven? Despite the evil I did? Despite what I caused you? The pain? The bitterness? The sorrow? The tears? The worries?” He asked as his tears flowed the more. ru-by bit her li-ps sadly and held her tears back. She nodded her head and stretched her hand towards him.
“I’m still grateful for not giving up on yourself, You have already tried Philli-p” ru-by whispered with a smile. Phili-p quickly shaked her stretched hand as he bowed his head low to her.
ru-by removed her hand and searched throu-ghher bag. She brou-ght out an envelope and gave it to him.
“In there, is enough cash to start a new business, I hope you change, Phili-p? Live your life well and make sure to keep your daughter, Mira safe,,I will visit you both again, I would love to see Mira” ru-by said as he collected the envelope of money from her. Phili-p smiled softly as he opened the envelope. His eyes opened wide in shock. He started crying once again and knelt down.
“Oh my? What’s this? Phili-p,, Stop please!’
“You just gave me a new life, How do you expect me to stop? How can i ever repay you! Thank you so much! ru-by” He said in tears as ru-by nodded smiling.
***************
“Why do you want to see me?” Martha asked sipping her jui-ce which made a loud sound. ru-by looked at her and scoffed loudly, She looked around the restaurant and looked back at her.
“Martha? Aren’t you still remorseful? Don’t you feel bad about what you did?”
“Yes, I do feel bad”
“Now, You are talking! I want you to apologize to the people you have wronged–
“I feel so bad that I didn’t finish my task in thatfu-cking school! It’s so bad, My plans got drained like that! If I ever have a chance to go back in time, I’m going to still do the same thing and even a lot more worst….You should be careful, ru-by… You don’t know Martha,, You don’t know the girl you are messing with… If I nee-d to kill, I kill…. So, Just let me be… Or else, You are going to die in my hands, You should know better than any one else that this fight isn’t over as far as I’m alive and well!” Martha whispered angrily. She stood up immediately, Hissed angrily and kicked the chair loudly. ru-by heart almost jumped to the mouth due to the loud sound.
“Who’s she really? What kinda human is she?” ru-by whispered as she bit her li-ps while she watched Martha leave.
******************
Martha went to her room furiously. Her mother watched her and sighed sadly. She wondered what kind of daughter she had? What was she turning to? If only her dad was still alive!.
Martha looked at the mirror and yelled furiously.
“Who does she think she is? Should I teach her a lesson? I want her to get afaird of me! But how? How about I kill one of her stupid former student to teach her a lesson? Perhaps, Barbara,Peter,Asley or Marco,, Mi Ni Mi Ni Mai Ni Mo Miney Myney! Oops! It’s Barbara, Barbara gets to die!” Martha whispered as she wore a really heavy wicked smile on her face.
