Chapter 59. Information from Isabel
Time went on. The next day, while Vega was taking a rest in her room, suddenly her phone rang. She immediately looked at her phone and she found there was a call from Isabel.
Vega's eyes immediately bulged because she felt very shocked. Then she asked herself in her heart. "Isabel? She rarely calls me! What's happened with her?"
Not long after, she picked up the call from Isabel.
"Hi, Vega!" greeted Isabel pleasantly on the phone.
"Hi, Isabel!" greeted Vega in a friendly manner.
"How are you, Vega?" Isabel asked how Vega was first, because she felt bad if she immediately told Vega about her husband's infidelity.
"I'm fine, Isabel." Vega replied.
"How about you, Isabel?" Vega inquired about Isabel again.
"I'm fine, Vega. Vega, how about your husband?"
"Well. He is fine."
"Oh. Okay." Isabel nodded her head.
"By the way, when can we hang out again? I think we haven't hung out in a long time." Isabel immediately asked when they could hang out. Because, after Vega marries Alberto, they never see each other again.
"I don't know. I'm so busy!" Vega is unsure when she will be able to see her friends again before marrying Alberto. Usually, before getting married, Vega and her friends always hang out every week at the Brazon Cafetaria in Brazon Hospital or the Rege Cafe in Rege Hospital.
"Let's hang out this week for a while! I want to let you know, because there's important information that I would like to inform you," said Isabel, which made Vega frown because she was curious about the important information that Isabel would say.
"What's the information?" asked Vega.
"I'm not going to tell you on the phone!" Isabel tried to keep it secret over the phone at first because she didn't want to tell her via phone call. She is afraid that someone will hack her phone conversation with Vega.
"Just let me know by phone, please!" asked Vega in a rather forceful voice.
"I don't like telling about it on a phone call." Isabel explained the reason.
"Why?" Vega frowned as she felt confused.
It was unusual for Isabel to say things like that. Usually, if Vega asked Isabel to talk on the phone, Isabel would immediately tell her about the things that she wanted to say on the phone.
"It's a top secret, Vega! I'm afraid your husband will know it and he will get mad at me." Isabel told her the reason: because it is a very secret thing.
"Indeed, what's the correlation with my husband? My husband is fine, right?" Vega immediately frowned because she felt confused.
All she knew was that Alberto was fine. He is not sick or hospitalized. He is also still friendly and kind to Vega, even though Vega is still being mean and cruel to him.
"Yes. That's what I want to tell you, Vega. So, I don't like talking on the phone. So, let's hang out!" Isabel immediately invited Vega to hang out for that reason.
"Am I really so important to know it?" Vega was curious about whether she needed to know about that or not.
"Yes, obviously. Alberto is your husband. Don't you want to know that something happened to him?" asked Isabel.
"So, what's wrong with him?" Vega was curious about what happened to Alberto.
"That's enough! Let's hang out! I'll tell you the information about your husband later, when we hang out." Isabel tried to persuade Vega to hang out.
"So, what time do you want to hang out?" Isabel asked when Vega wanted to hang out.
"I finished working today at Rege Hospital at four in the afternoon. At least four o'clock in the afternoon if we meet at Rege Cafe. If we meet elsewhere, it's around five o'clock in the afternoon." Vega gave an estimate of the time they would hang out that day.
"Okay." Isabel nodded her head.
"Where do you want to hang out?" Isabel asked where they would hang out.
"Just at Rege Cafe," replied Vega. Cafe Rege, according to Vega, is an easy place to hang out.
"What's your opinion? Can you hang out there?" Vega asked Isabel about her condition.
"Oh. Okay. That's fine. I can." Isabel agreed.
"But don't let your husband know! I'm afraid he will get mad at me if he finds out the truth. Then he will report it to my boss. Then I will be fired." Isabel mentioned the terms and reasons.
"If it's like that, how can I stay alive? It's so impossible if I'm asking for your help!" Isabel commented.
"Okay!" Vega nodded her head.
"See you at four o'clock today at Rege Cafe!"
"I'll see you later, but please wait for me! I'm afraid I will come late because I'm afraid it will take longer to finish working. You know, sometimes I'm told to serve impromptu patients, and I always feel sorry for them."
"Yes. I know. I understand. Okay. I will wait. The longest is at 04.15 pm," said Isabel.
"Okay. Good bye!"
"Good bye!" Not long after, the phone call ended. After the phone call ended, Vega sat and fell silent in her room. She immediately asked herself to find out what Isabel meant, because Isabel didn't usually do that to her.
"What's wrong? Isabel rarely does that! As I remember, Isabel never did that before." She asked herself as if she knew the answer. After that, her brain tried to guess to find out what really happened.
"Is she going to play a prank on me or what?" She asked herself again.
She was silent for a moment. After that, Vega guessed that Isabel just wanted to prank her.
"I guess she just wants to prank me. There can't be anything wrong with Alberto. All this time, Alberto has seemed fine. He just studies harder and studies a lot." She muttered to herself.
A moment later, she felt that her feelings suddenly felt bad, as if her premonition was trying to tell her something that Vega didn't understand. She suspected that something bad had happened to Alberto, but she didn't know what it was.
After that, she just said it to herself. "But hopefully it's nothing! Because I have a bad feeling from earlier."
Time continued until four o'clock in the afternoon, when Vega had just finished work and went straight to the elevator from her office. When she arrived at the elevator, she immediately pressed the down button.
Not long after, the elevator door opened. Then, she entered the elevator and pressed the "G" button. The elevator brought Vega to the ground floor while she waited for a while.
Not long after, the elevator had reached the ground floor so the elevator opened the door. At that moment, Vega went straight out of the elevator to the Rege Cafe in a hurry.
After she arrived in front of Rege Cafe, she saw a sign that read "Rege Cafe." She immediately walked into the Rege Cafe.
On the left side, there are a cashier and a place to order food. In front of her, there are eight long sofas. Her eyes immediately glanced at Isabel. Meanwhile, Isabel, who saw Vega just arrive, immediately greeted her.
"Hi, Vega!" Isabel greeted, which made Vega look towards the voice. Then, she found Isabel drinking iced lemon tea.
"Hi, Isabel!" said Vega while walking towards Isabel. When she was near Isabel, she immediately sat on the sofa located in front of her.
After Vega sat down, Isabel immediately asked, "You haven't changed your clothes."
"I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry to get home from work. I don't want to be late. So, I haven't changed clothes yet. I'm so sorry!" Vega immediately apologized to Isabel.
"Oh. That's okay. Nevermind. I know that you're so busy."
"By the way, have you ordered food or drink? You've just finished work. I'm sure you feel so tired now." Isabel tried to change the subject.
"Not yet." Vega shook her head.
"Just order first!" Isabel suggested.
"Are you okay if I leave you?" asked Vega.
"We're still hanging out. Just relax! Don't be so tense! I'm not in a hurry anymore." Isabel's words calmed Vega. That made Vega walk to the restaurant to order food.
She immediately ordered seafood fried rice, grilled shrimp, and lemon iced tea. After that, she went straight to the cashier.
Then she paid, and she immediately got the waiting queue number. She walked to the sofa after leaving the cashier. After she arrived at the sofa, she immediately sat in front of Isabel.
"What's wrong, Isabel?" asked Vega, confused and straight to the point.
"Nothing. I just miss you!" Isabel's lying answer instantly calmed Vega's feelings.
"I'm so grateful to hear that !" said Vega while rubbing her chest and she exhaled heavily.
After that, they talked about how busy they had been lately until a waiter came to bring drinks and food that Vega and Isabel had ordered. "Here are the foods and drinks!"
"Thank you!" Vega and Isabel immediately thanked him.
After that, the waiter left them, and they immediately tasted the food that they had ordered. Afterwards, they commented on the food they bought.
"The prawns are so delicious! These are so fresh!" Isabel commented.
"Yes. I didn't think so. It's my first time eating seafood here!" Vega commented.
"Indeed, what do you usually eat?" Isabel asked curiously.
"I just drink coffee. I usually get Churros and iced lemon tea or coffee." Vega replied casually.
"Oh! No wonder your GERD disease often recurs!" Isabel was so shocked.
Vega exhaled quickly while rolling her eyes because she was too tired to hear that. "Yes. You know, I'm a doctor. I'm so busy. I'm called every time I take a short break."
"But you also have to take care of your health! If you're sick, who will take care of your patients?" Isabel's anger made Vega speechless.
Then, they ate their food while continuing to comment on the other foods they had ordered. In the middle of their meal, Isabel suddenly brought up the topic of Vega's husband's affair. "Vega, I saw your husband at the hotel yesterday with a woman!"
"Really? Who is she?" Vega couldn't believe Isabel's words.
"Yes, but I don't know the woman's name. He's having an affair with another woman, Vega." Isabel confirmed Vega's words.
Isabel's words immediately made Vega's eyes bulge, and Vega stopped eating for a moment because she was so shocked and couldn't believe that Alberto would have an affair with another woman besides himself. "Really? You didn't see it wrong, right?"
"No. I didn't see it wrong. The girl looks so different with you. She doesn't look like you. How can I be wrong?" Isabel tried to convince Vega.
"Ah! You saw it wrong. We haven't seen each other in a long time. So, it's possible that you've forgotten about me," Vega argued, because there's a possibility if she sees the wrong person.
Isabel then grabbed her phone. Then, she opened the camera and showed a photo of Alberto and Lorena's affair. "Here's the photo!"
Vega immediately made her body closer to Isabel's phone. Afterwards, she saw a photo of Lorena and Alberto having an affair.
"I got this photo because yesterday they were at the Hermosa Oceana Hotel and I work there now. You didn't go there yesterday, right?" Isabel inquired if this was true.
"Yes. This woman is not me. I didn't go there yesterday. Alberto said to me yesterday that he must study with Nicolas." Vega replied.
Vega tried to analyze the woman's face. After that, she felt the woman resembled Lorena. However, she didn't know for sure who that woman was in the photo.
"May I have the photo?" Vega asked Isabel for permission to take the photo, which she granted.
"Sure! You can!" Isabel answered as she picked up her phone. Then, she sent the photo to Vega via chat.
"Thank you, Isabel!" Vega immediately thanked her when the photo arrived on her phone. After that, Vega immediately downloaded the photo and saved it properly.
"You're welcome." After that, Vega immediately finished her foody finished her food. She tried as fast as possible to leave Isabel because she didn't want her to see her cry.
After she finished her food, she immediately stood up and allowed Isabel to leave the place. "I'm sorry! I must go now!"
"Okay." Vega immediately walked away, leaving Isabel.
"See you later!" Isabel waved her hand to Vega.
"See you later!" Vega waved her hand at Isabel.
Not long after, Vega immediately arrived in front of the stairs.
Then, she walked down the stairs to the basement. She arrived in the parking lot a few minutes later.
Then, she walked to her car, and not long after, she arrived in front of it. She immediately opened the car door and got in.
After that, she put on her seatbelt as she closed the car door. Not long after, Vega started to drive away from the place at high speed as her brain kept thinking about Alberto. Her heart felt so broken.
"Alberto, why do you have the heart to betray me so much? Why do you have the heart to have an affair with Lorena behind me, Alberto? What's my fault?" asked Vega to herself, as she knew the answer.
After that, her mind began to consider her flaws with Alberto. She realized she had been impolite to Alberto.
"Perhaps Alberto feels his heart is so broken when I do that to him," said Vega to herself. After that, Vega imagined how devastated Alberto felt.
"Yes. If I'm in his condition, I will be extremely hurt. So it's normal if he has an affair with Lorena from me," Vega thought to herself.
"I'm sorry, Alberto!" Vega apologized as if she were directly apologizing to Alberto.
After that, she fell silent. She thought of a way for Alberto to forgive her. After that, she considered treating Alberto more specially and better in order to rekindle his feelings for her.
"Hopefully, if I become so nice, he will love me again!" Vega expressed hope in her heart.
"But is the evidence that Isabel gave me true? I'm afraid the evidence is wrong." She thought about it later.
"Hopefully what Isabel said is wrong!" Vega said to herself, hopefully again, even though she had the proof.
"I'll pay the detective to find out the truth and get the evidence." Vega determined.
