I Became the Villain’s Wife

! ”

”Worry not, dear father-in-law, ” Raha Sitan said still smiling despite the gloomy atmosphere, ”I will take good care of Amara. ”

”You bastard! ”

It was Lakams turn to speak. ”Amara, please don do this, our mother and little Gaki is waiting for your return. ”

Amaras eyes welled up with tears as soon as she heard the youngest siblings name. She would have spent all of her free time on Gaki if she had known all of this would happen. But she is unable to do so, now that she has to go with Raha Sitan.

”Kuya Lakam, kuya Hari, kuya Datu, kuya Damian, please don tell Gaki about this; just tell him that I had to travel somewhere right away and that I might not be able to return; please take good care of our ading. ”

Finally, Apo Bagani Hiraya heaved a sigh. He was still glaring at Raha Sitan, but it was obvious that he was already defeated. He then said, ”Stay away from the Hiraya tribe, Raha Sitan. ” He then turned to Amara. ”May I just ask why you decided to go with him? ”

Amara racked her brain for a plausible answer, because she couldn just say Apo Bathala instructed her to do it so she could see her previous lifes grandmother. They aren going to believe a word she says.

She then remembered Apo Bagani Hirayas character.

Bagani Hiraya is a character in the story who is passionately concerned about the Hiraya tribe. Its more significant than his own life, and perhaps even more so than his blessed immortality. He is a patriotic man who will go to any length to ensure that the Hiraya tribe remains peaceful.

With that being said, Amara was able to respond. ”It is Apo Bathalas will. Do you recall when I told you that I saw a premonition that Raha Sitan would escape from his prison? I also saw my own death for escaping from Raha Sitan, and with my death I saw, ” Amara said, her voice low and ominous. ”I witnessed our tribes downfall. ”

”That is absurd! ” Hari goes on to exclaim. ”We are the strongest tribe in this continent, how can we lose to just one Mumbaki? ”

”Hari, do not easily underestimate your opponent, ” said Apo Bagani. Its because he knows Raha Sitan more than anyone else. ”What else do you want, Apo Mumbaki? ”

”First, I am taking Amara with me to become my wife, ” Raha remarked cheerfully, ”and I am also thinking of bringing back my Sitan tribe. ” Then, with a voice full of intimidation, he said, ”Don you dare get in my way again, Bagani Hiraya. I don want you or even the Kapatiran meddling in my affairs. ”

”I cannot promise you anything, ” Bagani Hiraya said.

”Then I cannot promise that I won kill you either, ” Raha Sitan replied.

”Ill be the one to kill you first, Apo Mumbaki. ”

”Bagani Hiraya, do you think I am afraid of you? Did you also think I don know what you are hiding? ” Raha Sitans playful smile turned into a sinister one as soon as he saw Bagani Hirayas shocked face. His blood-colored irises glowed as he mockingly spoke, ”You will never be able to beat me, Bagani. You weren able to achieve anything for the past three hundred years. Just by plainly looking at you, I know that you
e really not an— ”

”Raha Sitan! ” Bagani Hiraya shouted, cutting off what Raha Sitan was about to say. It was the first time that he spoke of the Apo Mumbakis name thats why Amara became curious.

There was no revelation about Bagani Hirayas secret in the novel. This must be a mystery scene that was unlocked because she changed the entirety of the story.

And Raha Sitan really knows how to stir him. The look on Bagani Hirayas face gave him so much pleasure. ”Im just telling the truth, Bagani. Don be too agitated just because I am speaking about facts. ”

”Leave now! ”

”Amara! ” Lakandula was sobbing this time as he called her name. ”Forgive this father for being weak. Forgive me because I was not able to save you, my child. Im so sorry I had used my hands against you, I truly regret my actions. This father is truly sorry that this unfortunate thing happened to you. You don deserve to suffer, you only deserve to live happily! ”

Amara gasped when she heard this as she cried with her father.

Ah, is this how it feels to have a father? Thankfully my father was not that evil after all, maybe he was just too strict.

”Father, do not say sorry, ” Amara said to him in between sobs. ”If by chance that I am still alive after this, Im sure we will meet again somewhere in this continent. Just take good care of yourself and I will do my best. ”

Amara was still crying when she heard her kuya Lakam speak, ”Amara, Amara, we will find you. I promise that we will take you— ”

However, Amara was not able to hear more of her kuyas words because their surroundings instantly changed. When she looked around, she realized that she was now standing, with Raha Sitan and Manong, on the edge of a cliff overlooking a vast, gloomy forest.
