FORGIVE
Come in Mr. Larry, It's good to see you. Why is she here with you? I asked glaring at Mr. Larry's mother and the lady with her, she must be Dahlia. She did look like her mother. Her daughter was holding another lady's hand, I guess it's her girlfriend
Mr. Larry, you should have come alone or with your sister but not with this witch you brought with you. I don't want her here, she needs to leave before Lia comes down.
Didn't even finish, Lia came down, looking at her I know she is very angry, she's just controlling her anger.
What is she doing here? Lia says to Mr. Larry. I came to apologise to you and ask for forgiveness from your children
Hell no, my children will not want to see you after what you did to them. I sigh. Can we all sit down and talk like an adult? Sure, sit.
Look Luna, my mother has realized her wrong doing to you and your children. She even went as far to look for her daughter, my sister Dahlia. It hasn't been easy for her with everything, the divorce and now my mother is sick, she's battling cancer as we speak but not to worry, she'll be fine. We nodded
Please can you tell them to come downstairs, she wants to apologize not hurt them, I beg of you.
Kids get down here, uncle Larry is here to see you.
Uncle Larry, they both yelled and threw themselves on him, they must have missed him a lot. Making calls just isn't enough, it just makes you miss them more. So how are you? Have you guys started school yet? Not yet uncle but mama said we will start tomorrow.
I guess Adaline just noticed his mother sitting with him, she stiffened and moved back trying to run back to her room, she did look different, she looked thinner and she used a scarf on her head
No dear don't leave, I came to apologise to the both of you
You? Apologize? I must be dreaming Adaline says in-between laugh thinking we would laui with her
Oh she must be serious then, she thought. Why the need to apologize? Are you dying? Andrew asked with his brows up
Am surprised as well, why would these kids say that?
Mama, she said if only she was going to die that is when she would ask for forgiveness, Adaline answered.
She has cancer baby, that's why she's like that
Oh cool, when will she die? Andrew asked. Everyone around gasps surprise by his words
What the hell is wrong with this child?
I wonder, I looked at Lia, her face is red, trying to hold in her laugh which was not going well because she actually giggled
Am sorry, please continue, don't mind me Lia said to everyone staring at her.
What I did to the both of you was wrong, I hurt you and I don't deserve your forgiveness but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try to ask for it, I am so so sorry for everything I have done to you. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me
Adaline's first reply was, I your husband here?
No! W-we, I filed for a divorce, oh that shocking. I thought the both of you couldn't live without each other, claiming you guys were so I love meanwhile your husband had been fucking your best friend Layla.
We all stared at Adaline, in surprise. Theresa was so confused she even tried to oppose it, she didn't want to believe that her husband of more than twenty years was cheating on him.
You didn't know? Adaline said to her, do you remember Rachel, Layla's daughter. Theresa nods
You remember the day she came to visit uncle Larry to spend her summer break with him. Since you guys were family friends, so there was no ulterior motive there to you but Rachel came to get to know uncle who is her step brother
How did you know about this? who told you? Rachel would never say anything about it to anyone she knew It would break I and her mother's friendship apart, so how did you find out? Theresa asked
Uncle Larry do you remember that assignment that made us figured out you weren't my real father even though everyone said it but the truth was because I did some test on it
My genius self noticed the way Rachel was always looking at you with so much love, at first I thought she was in love with you and wanted to break up your marriage
Then one day, I heard her speaking to her mother telling her how she wanted to tell you about her being your stepsister
I thought, maybe There's here cheated on her husband but she was a faithful woman she would never do that to him. Then at Mr. Remy's birthday party I noticed the way Layla lingered at your table, I thought, well you guys were best friends but when something fell and I tried to pick it up Layla kept holding Mr. Remy's hand under the table, I think if she had her way she would have fucked him there has his birthday gift to him.
So, I took some samples, I did the test and it matched, she Is your sister Mr. Larry, I confronted uer about it and she told me the truth. I made her promise to tell you everything
The day she tried to tell you, you yelled at her, I think that was when you were having a misunderstanding with your wife about the closure between you and Rachel. And Rachel just got out of a bad relationship with her love who kept hurting her and yelling at her.
She got scared, took her things and left your house that night, that's why she didn't come to visit again.
She is scared that you would hurt her if she told you that you shared the same father.
So I have a sister? Dahlia asked, I nod
Do you know where she is? Yes I still have her contact, we chat sometimes, you will love her she's really nice. I told Dahlia who kept smiling while I gave her the contact.
Ms. Theresa, you've hurt me and my brother so much but we're kids and we learnt to forgive and forget and we already forgave you the day we left uncle's Larry house. So please don't think we will never forgive you because we already did, I said to her with a big smile on my face.
