The Secret Bride's

Episode 140: Opening the curtain

The rain had begun to subside, he lifted his vow to see the clouds dispersing, making room for the sun to shine. Darren again saw the name of his wife, in gentle elus. Her tears were not dry, she was crying again.

The tightness in his chest had not disappeared yet, the sun had already begun to show itself behind the timid clouds. The flowers around the burial area came back fresh leaving the rest of the raindrops on its petals that would have fallen to the ground if she was touched.

Darren recalled the expressions of his parents, Hyuk as well as his lawyer. "They all feel guilty, but I am the cause of all these tragedies. I think leaving the past without having to touch it again is the right thing. I just don't think the past is ruining our future."

It should have been at the time that Sujong lied to Frederick that he did not interfere. He doesn't have to get involved by the woman's nonsense so he has to lose his wife in the future. Valerie's been suffering since then she should have known. However, Darren is a man who always thinks everything is fine.

He is guilty. "Darling, my decision to marry you was the right one. What I regret is hiding our marriage out of an intention to protect you. Maybe since then, I've been wrong. After meeting you, I will announce our marriage. I should have done that a long time ago."

"Our friends should also know, about our marriage and your pregnancy. Akhh, can I come with you?" Darren's waiting, maybe his wife will answer. Just thinking about it has driven him crazy.

"What if I go to see you, we'll meet?" Ask her. Then Darren's eyes turned to the small tomb beside him. The grip on the ground was getting tighter, Darren resisted the inner turmoil that would come out roaring.

The more he could endure the more he could not control his increasingly soul-stifling cries.

"But not forgetting you, you know how much I love you and your mom. I've been guilty and sinned a lot on my mother. I left my own life in the land of people for many years, only visiting if papi had time. I don't think too much about how he lives, what his habits are and what he doesn't like,

"I never gave him complete happiness and gave only material sustenance. Holding hands, hugging and kissing her, for 6 years we were married, dad only did it occasionally if met. If there mami scolds papi, let it go. That's because your papi's not good, though,

Darren continued to tell his son, not feeling a cloudy day turned into a quiet afternoon, with a bright orange light in the sky. He held his sitting position.

"There's so much you want to say, papi will visit again. After this papi will meet uncle and your aunty deliver the news of papi and mami's marriage."

Darren cries while telling his son the regrets that have haunted him all his life.

.

Below, his parents and Hyuk were still waiting. Darren was surprised, he had already asked them to go home before he went upstairs.

"Why are mom and dad still here?" Ask Darren.

They did not reply, his gaze falling on Darren's wet body in some parts and dry in others. His face, clothes and pants were ground.

It did not escape Darren's vision, he raised his hand looking at his arms and clothes full of earth. He wiped his face, instead of clean Darren's face grew brownish.

"When can I see them?" Darren asked Hyuk.

"After you clean up. They're angry, you realize, but I didn't tell you right away." Hyuk.

"Thank you." Brief Darren.

They go home, Darren continues to be noticed by his mother. The man looked to the side smiling at his mother. In her smile it had a deep meaning to say 'don't worry, your son is fine'

His mother understood the meaning of the child's gaze, she smiled and nodded.

...🖤...

Darren's neat with a shirt without a suit. He came out of the room and sat on the sofa waiting for his friends to come.

"Darren!" Call Ha Joon from the front. He walked and hugged his friend. Darren returned the hug of his best friend. "You're making you worry."

"I'm sorry" he said.

Ha Joon heard that speechless.

"Are you okay?" Rey hugged Darren. At first glance Darren looked back and found no one else. She's astonished.

"I have to go back to the hospital tomorrow and finish treatment." Answer Darren. He saw his two best friend's wives smiling down slightly, politely. He did the same in return.

"I have to meet someone and you."

The atmosphere suddenly became strange and awkward. Hyuk was sitting on the sofa.

"What's Hyuk?" Rey asked as she looked at her best friend's serious expression.

"Sit down, listen carefully."

Hyuk's tone was unusual. They're sitting with Leon on Darren's stool. Since entering Leon has been hanging on Darren's legs until Elena was surprised not to play, he pulled it but Leon still hugged the man's legs tightly. Even when two grown men were greeting him there were in between. Squeezed.

"Leon." Elena's small voice called out to her son.

"It's okay, Leon's free to do anything in my house." Darren.

Rey was puzzled, raising her eyebrows at the familiarity of Darren and his son.

"Sorry, brother." Elena said no well.

"No problem."

Darren set his breath. "I ask you not to come to see the sick but to hear about my marriage."

My wedding?

They all looked at each other, surprised to hear all of a sudden. Rey scrunched her forehead. "Your wedding?" Ask him again, repeat.

"The marriage I've been hiding for 6 years."

Ha Joon pulled his head to the side and blinked once. "Wait!" He tried to digest what had just come out of his best friend's mouth. The same goes for those in the room.

"Wait for Darren, what-what did I hear? You're married, no no. I mean, you've been married for 6 years?" Ha Joon can't believe what his ears caught.

Rey looked at Darren. No one knows what that view means. She is also surprised but not like Ha Joon who expresses it with words.

"You've been married for 6 years but marriage-" Stopped for a while. "Wedding is a secret? Really so?"

Darren nodded.

"You know that too?" Ask Rey to Hyuk.

Hyuk nodded. The two men did not believe in the two people in front of him. "Curtain! You know but didn't tell us!? Are you out of your mind?"

Getting along, Hyuk just sighed. In her heart she felt heavy, you guys have not heard the highlights of the news.

"I have no choice but to hide it." Hyuk.

"What choice!? What to do until you have no choice! Who did she marry!?"

Darren he's a minute. "I asked Hyuk not to tell anyone."

Are really.
