Rina and Helena
A week has passed since Rina witnessed the painful kiss between Victor and Helena at David's house.
In the week that followed, Victor never returned home, and Rina didn't bother looking for him, assuming he was likely with Helena once again.
Victor had always been like that, avoiding confrontation whenever they had disagreements, and when he did come home, he behaved as if he didn't have a wife, always distant and cold towards her.
Instead of dwelling on his hurtful treatment, Rina tried her best not to stress herself, especially for the sake of the baby she was carrying.
She gently caressed her belly while talking to it about happy things, hoping to raise a cheerful child. It was a far cry from the reality she was facing.
After sharing her stories with her baby, she quickly changed into comfortable clothing and took a walk around their village.
