2021-09-18 22:39:21Angel's fist folded and unfolded.Tears pricked his eyes and the claws of betrayal sunk into him. Yes. he felt betrayed. He felt used. All of his life people have continuously used him to get things, his mother used him to get close to his father and get married to him, Tania used as a punching bag to fuel her brother's self esteem and growing up, He's been used to eight pleased people or extort them.
But- But when he met Ariel-Aramide. When he met that woman, he thought she was different, she was so kind and sweet, Angel couldn't help but wonder why and how people continuously lied to his face. He dragged his sandals protected foot against the tarred road of the highway. it was past midnight now,Bola had let him go a few hours ago and as much as he would love to completely disregard everything she said, one part of him, on tiny part of him knows that she is right. That he was only been a toy for everyone he had met.

ARAMIDE [131] AFFECTION
“Aracely...” Mercedes trailed off as she came into the girl's room. It would be an understatement to say that the place was a mess, the vases were thrown about, The mirror that rested on the wall was broken, Trails of dresses and different items littered the place and in the middle of this whole massacre was Aracely, Her eyes were glued to the ground as she laid there, It was obvious that in her little tussle she had managed to fall off her wheelchair. The girl failed to acknowledge Mercedes as her hands simply touched around for who knows what. “Aracely...” The woman called again. Her voice was soft and soothing, but at this point Aracely was deaf. She couldn't hear anymore. She was so engrossed in her world where the only thing she could do was hurt the people she loved. People who only wanted to support and help her. FLASHBACK “Aracely, I might not understand that pain of losing one's parents because I never got

FLASHBACK"don't do this, if there's a problem I will help you fix it, I'll make it all better" Adrian promised as he held Aracely's cheeks with his hands, he wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. Aracely removed his hands and stared at his hands which she currently had in hers, she bit her lip and squeezed them, almost as if she was trying her best to channel all her anger and pain in one strong grasp, their eyes locked and then Adrian realized something, for the past few moments since she took his hands in hers but the truth was; Aracely wasn't speaking because she wanted him to feel it, to understand her helplessness without plain sweetened words, without having to list one million and one reasons why she was making this decision, she wanted him to feel it too, the panic and fear that rang underneath her skin begging for the layers of her skin to be broken by the next stray bullet so they could be set free, t

“I can't believe I let this happen!” Aramide cried out from her passenger seat in Efrain's car. “ Aracely you need to calm down we'll find him—” “That's what you said two freaking hours ago! and where are we? hm? Driving down the highway to who knows where? He was my freaking responsibility, Efrain! My responsibility and I lost him, I was so engrossed in my issues that I lost my son! who knows what Bola could be doing to him now, that woman is a monster!” Aramide ranted. “He was so stressed and terrified the last time he met her, what if something worse happens this time? No, no, no. we have to find his fast” Aramide lamented as she ran her hands through her hair. It was morning already and they had been searching for Angel and hadn't seen him, it wouldn't take too long for the sun to rise and there was no sight of him, Something was wrong. very wrong.

“Angel! are you alright?” Aramide rushed out hurriedly as she looked over the boy, He was sitting at the edge of the rail, On the verge of falling right into the water, Aramide couldn't even feel her feelings at the moment, all she knew what that she needed to save her son and now.“Baby,” She spoke as she wrapped her hands around him while Efrain took his legs and helped him off the Rail, it was in the proximity that Aramide noticed that Angel spelled alcohol, he was drunk? Since when did angel get drunk? Angel hated alcohol. Aramide's heart ached at the fact that Bola must have said or done something to push Angel to the edge.It was about to rain soon and the sooner they took action the better for them all, Anxiety bubbled inside Aramide as she tried to connect the invisible puzzle in her head, she wanted to know exactly what was going on and she hoped thatOnce They were aw

“Tell me, why are you suddenly so mute Aramide?” Angel spat“Angel it's not like that—"“Then what is it like?! I am sick of people justifying everything bad they do! Why not just own to it! Tell to me to my face! tell me that you never cared and that you were using me! tell me that I was just a pawn in your game, tell me the truth! it's the least I deserved.Aramide's bottom lip wobbled and tears filled her eyes, Her heart broke at his words. How could he think such things? Angel was like a son to her, she loved him to the moon and back, She had chosen to save him over getting Aracely's location back then. That was a sacrifice only a mother can make, nothing could hurt a mother more, than watching her son insult her love.“It's not what you think, I love you so much I love you so much son, I—"

Aramide wiped her tears and stood up. Her body shook and her balance was wrecked. She felt her heartache as she processed the implications of what had happened a few minutes ago.“Aramide—” Aramide cut Efrain off with a wave of her hand as she began to walk away from him, the sun had set now. which made Aramide wonder just how long they had been talking, trying to convince each other, going back and forth, but of what use was it? she still lost her son? Was he still her son? was she even worthy of being his mother now?FLASHBACK“This is not a competition.”“Exactly, so give me my son, and I will give you your daughter”“Angel is like a son to me!”“I gave birth to him!

The sound of tyres screeching brought Aracely out of her mini trance, Her eyes slowly glanced out the window of the car she had been riding in, and the montes home stood in its glory right in front of her.Aracely didn't know how to feel at this point, Was she supposed to feel glad as she was finally taking a step forward to avenge her father's death and family's separation? Or was she supposed to feel horrible for hurting the same man who had done nothing but support and protects her?Aracely was conflicted. Her hands rested on her chest as she squeezed the cotton blouse she had chosen to wear this morning, Sha could still hear Mercedes's voice ringing in her defiant ears, begging her to stay and not do what she intended to, but the mind was stubborn and the heart was even worse. Aracely wasn't going to give up now, not when she had come so far.Aracely folded her fists and bit her lip. She c

Recap:“There's a procedure that just came out...” The woman began as she locked eyes with Aracely “There's an eighty percent chance that if you do this...” Mercedes paused before she finished “You'll be able to walk again Aracely!” Mercedes breathed.Aracely felt her whole world stop.*************“A-are you sure about this? is this for real?” Aracely's voice was barely above a whisper. Her eyes filled with unshed tears and it didn't take too long for them to fall down her cheeks. “I'll be able to walk again” Aracely said more to herself than anyone else after she saw Mercdes' discreet nod. Soon a smile broke out from her lips.“I'll be able to walk” She repeated letting the words sink into her brain.“I'll be able to walk again.” Her voice was calmer now as she looked

ARAMIDE [197] THE END
“I never imagined things would end like this mom,” Aracely’s hands traced the table as she stared at the mirror. She was in her mother’s dressing room getting ready and the brown-haired girl was almost sure that she was going to fall into the nearest bed and doze off. Aracely had no one else to blame but herself though. The nineteen-year-old knew that it was a horrible idea to go out partying all night yesterday which was Christmas, knowing fully well her parents’ wedding was today. “You still took stunning” Aramide commented as she finished up on her makeup. Aracely bit her lip and smiled. The brown-haired girl pulled her mother’s chair back and knelt in front of the woman. “I’ve never told you this but…” she paused. Her breath hitched and her eyes watered with fresh tears. “Thank you” Aracely breathed. Aramide’s eyes glistened with emotion but before she could speak, Aracely took the woman’s hands into hers, “Thank you so much for being my mother for –“ “Aracely, what’s g
ARAMIDE [196] LET’S REUNITE
“I didn’t believe it when I heard it.” Aracely said when she caught the reflection of a brown haired boy with green eyes at the familiar lake. Her fingers tugged on her white gown as she struggled to breath through her tears and the warm feeling in her chest. She took a step forward and ignored the pain that shot up in her foot when she hit a small rock. She could remember the night she had found this place.Or better still that she had fallen off.She had just left her home for fresh air after her small argument with Latifa- Latifa. Aracely still struggled to accept that she was gone. They had spent their best years together, struggling through the twisted maze they called life. Aracely knew Latifa didn’t deserve to die, no one did. But she was dead. She got she got straight to the head no freaking questioned asked and why? Because she was related to Aracely. Aracely grew up understanding the meaning of l
ARAMIDE [195] It's finally over.
“You did it,” Bola whispered as she stumbled back, a bit of blood escaped her lips as her hands went to her stomach which had blood rushing out of it. At this point, everyone had frozen and Aramide let the gun fall out of her hands as tears filled her eyes “ I knew you had it in you.” Bola said as she fell. Aramide’s hands covered her lips as her feet remained glued to the ground. She felt someone hold her from behind and it was then she realized from the strong scent of lavender that it was Cole. Tears filled Aramide’s eyes and she couldn’t tell if it was tears of relief or sorrow, she finally regained control of her limbs and walked over to Bola. She knelt in front of her and said “I’ll never understand how and why you did this? I’ll never be able to accept that you have always been like this…” “A monster?” Bola replied hoarsely as a tear rolled down her cheeks, she was laid on the ground her
ARAMIDE [194] I won't make the same mistake twice.
The first thing Aramide noticed as she walked down the aisle was Aracely’s wide smile, her daughter looked so pretty. She was wearing a short pink gown and had a white bow on her brown hair, it was tied in a ponytail, the wedding was to take place in the garden and Aramide had to admit that Mercedes had done a great job with the decorations, the aisle had been designed with roses, not too far ahead. Efrain stood by one of the two pillars that held up the small space where the couple was to stand under. The chairs that were set in the garden were white, the scent of thick lavender filled the air, it was Aracely’s favorite scent and Aramide could vaguely remember that the scent lingered on Cole too. Aramide mirrored the smile on her daughter’s face, she was holding hands with someone – Cole. Aramide wasn’t sure she remembered when they had gotten together, but over the past two months, they had gotten closer. Ar
ARAMIDE [193] This is the right decision, isn't it?
Aramide sighed as she stared into the mirror, she was dressed in a white gown and had a beautiful tiara on her newly styled hair. Her hands traced the jewelry on her neck and rested on the space between the jewelry and her off-shoulder dress – where the amulet rested. The one that bound her to her daughter for so many years. It had been a few months since Daniel died. Since he was buried and since Aracely had broken down in pain. The first few months had been horrible, Aracely barely ate or moved around, she was confined to the four walls of her room. Mercedes was devastated. She refused to look or even speak to Aramide. She blamed the brown-skinned woman for her brother’s death and she wasn’t wrong, to be honest. She was right. Aramide could still visualize the compounded images or Mercedes’ eyes with dark circles and her lips pursed into a line. Cole’s deep stares and sighs. The way his hands slowly ran through his
ARAMIDE [192] The alignment.
Bola groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, well, one eye. The thick smell of smoke filled her nostrils and she scrunched it up. She bit her lip as she glanced around, she knew something was wrong, yet she hadn’t been able to pinpoint what it was. She could recall going over the hospital that Aramide had been in to get Cole back. That man knew too many of her secrets and now, Aramide knew then too, she could also recall that Aramide had refused to let her take Cole. An argument ensued and things got a bit bloody from there, but how did this happen though? Had she been caught? Was she in prison? She desperately needed answers now. The blonde woman looked around from her place on the bed, she was slowly becoming aware of everything around her, the small night lamp beside the bed, the fact that the w
ARAMIDE [191]. Rest in peace Daniel
Aramide let out a shuddered breath as she walked towards the coffin in front of her. The coffin that had Daniel inside. She traced her hands over it and her eyes filled with tears all over again. it had been a few days already. They had all stalled the burial because Aracely insisted that she wanted to be there and deep down everyone was scared and reluctant to say goodbye. Nevertheless, they were all here now. The loss had always been a pain in the neck. Death? death never knocked — It never warned you — It never gave notice and it didn't even barge in. It came like a thief and it stole. it stole someone's life— someone's peace of mind — someone's source of happiness, someone's brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son. Today Aramide had to say goodbye to someone who always wanted her to stay. She bit her lip. You only really know what you had till you lose it. till a
ARAMIDE [190]
Bola grunted in pain as she continued down the sidewalk, stumbling into things as she struggled to see with only one eye open. She dragged herself across the ground as she tried not to fall unconscious. One of her hands was over her eyes with a cloth — trying to control the bleeding. Bola was sure that if she survived this—she would make Aramide pay for all the pain she was going through and the fact that she may lose her eye. After everything Aramide had taken from her, now, she wanted to steal her eyesight too? the woman was despicable in Bola's opinion. Bola knew that the probability of her surviving this was very slim. Yes, she had managed to escape before the cops arrived, but that didn't mean that there wasn't this lingering fear of what would happen if she got caught. The last thing she needed was to end up in a maximum prison cell for Daniel. That man wasn't w
ARAMIDE [189] She'd better be dead
“What's going on? Why is no one speaking up?” Aracely asked with worry etched on her features. She had just woken up, her hands clawed on the sheets as she tried to stabilize herself. It was obvious she was still weak and probably disoriented as well with the way her eyes navigated around the room, curiously breaking through her face like wrinkles. “It's not—" Mercedes tried but Aramide cut her off. “You need to be strong Aracely.” Aramide said as she walked over to her and held her hand, a smile spread across the girl's face. ”You are here,” She sighed in relief as her eyes filled with tears, they weren't of sorrow — yet. Aracely reached out for her mother and squeezed the woman's hands tight “What about Daniel? Where is he?" Aracely asked she tried to find him in the occupied room but Aramide was blocking her view. “He didn't come with? Did he go get something? Is he talking to s
