2021-06-08 22:43:15Aramide dragged her feet on the ground as she took small steps towards the room that her daughter was in, the doctor had just informed her that Aracely was awake and she had raced to the spot, Her hands hovered over the door handle as she sucked in a deep breath, Cautiously, Aramide opened the door, and she had barely finished hearing the door creak when a small voice croaked out
“M-momma”
The voice sounded unreal, so unfamiliar and Aramide felt a warm feeling run through her skin. She still could not accept that at one point she imagined that she would never hear this — Her daughter's voice.
Tears involuntarily fell down Aramide's eyes, In that moment she felt complete, She had yearned to hear that voice for what seemed like forever, She stayed frozen in her spot as a smile crept onto her lips, carefully tugging on them. Aramide placed her hands over her mouth, As tears

ARAMIDE [52] THE ENCOUNTER
Blaire felt a lump grow in her throat as she looked over the files in her hands over and over again, she had no clue what to feel at this point, was this true? Were the contents of the paper in front of her legit? Had she just been kidnapped by her daughter, by her Tania? Her little girl? The one whom she thought had been dead for twenty long years, the one she had searched for under every rock and bottom in this world, The one whine everyone considered dead, was she "Do you believe me now?" Tania said as she locked eyes with Blaire, "It's me momma," she tried when she still saw the disbelief in the woman's eyes, her lips curled into a frown as she got up from the bed the woman was currently sat on, it had been days since she had kept Blaire her, Last night she had decided to tell her everything, she wanted her mother to know she was alive and breathing, that she didn't die like everyone thought, once she had her mother on her side, no one would be

The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Once again Aramide felt all her senses going haywire, she felt like she could feel and hear everything and nothing's t the same time. The back ground noises, The sound of doctors and patients bickering the sound of Dared's feet hitting the white hospital tiles as he paced about, the way he grunted between thick breaths and how his body remained so tense almost as if he had a ticking time bomb inside of him and if she tugged on him or even came to close he would explode and the impact could crush her and everything around her. Aramide vaguely felt herself sliding down the wall, her breathing was erratic as her vision became blurred, her hands shook rapidly as tears filled her eyes. Her body suddenly became too heavy and everywhere was too Loud. Aramide wondered if she was dying, was this how she wanted to end up? Dead befo

“Momma!” Aramide heard Aracely Squeal, a small smile played on the woman's lips as she weakly reached out for the girl who didn't hesitate to pull her into a hug. Aramide kissed her daughter's hair as she held her close, The little girl meant the world to her. “Thirsty?” Aramide heard Dared's hoarse voice and their eyes locked. For a moment there, she felt she could see through him — through the castle of lies he had built for who knows how long. They needed to talk and now. It had been two days since she had that panic attack or whatever it was, and the change in Aramide had been obvious, even Aracely had noticed it. Aramide tore her gaze from Dared as he stared at Aracely who seemed to be healing up nicely, she had a few reservations about the girl walking around in her fragile state after all she had surgery a few days ago, She should be in her hospital room resting. but of course, Aramide wasn't about to question the gi

“W-what?” Aramide asked as she raised an eyebrow, Her forehead creased, and Dared watched the lines surface, Her eyes never left his though, silently urging him to explain further. “You heard me. Blaire isn't who we thought she was” The man confirmed as he stood up and walked away from the bed, He proceeded to pace around the room, a habit even Aramide was guilty of whenever she was stressed. “What does that mean?" Aramide asked once again, completely confused as she worked herself to sit up, on the bed, Dared was about the protest about her sitting up but she held her hand “so?" She enquired. She felt anxiety and frustration build up in her as she watched Dared withdraw into his Silent chamber. “Oh come on Dared!" She suddenly screeched. “What exactly is going on? I am sick and tired of you beating around the bush, it's driving me insane, what do you mean by all of this?! What's going on with Blaire—”

Before Aramide could object or speak; Her lips intertwined with Cole's, their noses grazed as a tear slipped down her eyes, Aramide knew the gravity of what had just happened, she knew she had fallen into a ditch she wasn't sure how to get out off, she knew she had just dug out all the emotions she had buried for years. but how exactly did she get here?*********************Aramide's grip tightened on her pillow as she cried into it, How could Dared even assume that? Why were humans so insensitive, was that what he thought of her? Did he think she was that weak? that she would fall into the arms of the next man who was close enough just to find comfort? that she traveled to another country just to be with Cole? the same Cole that she had abandoned years ago to get married to him? how could he even assume such?Besides, he was the one who had walked out on her that day, she could still vividly recall

“Get out” Aramide had spat causing Cole to flinch.“what do—” “leave,” She said as their eyes locked but she tore her gaze away almost immediately, Cole couldn't get his hands on what had gone wrong, what had he done wrong? they had been together for the first time in so many years and she didn't back down from the kiss, so what was wrong now? it was obvious that Aramide still yearned for him as much as he did her, although as the years had passed Cole had resigned to his fate, he had decided to let Aramide be so she could find her happiness. But that day, when she had appeared at his doorstep with teary eyes and the newfound information that he was a father, Cole had mixed feelings about letting her go, The man didn't need to be a genius to know Aramide wasn't happy with Dared, and if their recent arguments were any clue of some sorts the r

“Finally” Aramide breathed fresh air watching the cars move by as she waited at the entrance of the hospital for Dared to bring her daughter, she had never been so happy to leave somewhere, a small smile played on her lips as she watched her daughter walk out of the hospital with Dared, it was a tight smile, but it was worth it. They were going back home. Aramide had a lot to protest to that, but when Aracely began to shed a few tears, her motherly instincts kicked in, Her daughter did not deserve to suffer because of the things her parents did, That wasn't the life she wanted for her, but that didn't mean she was going to let him ride home with them. no. no. no. “Are you sure you don't want me to take you? We are heading to the same place after all.” Dared pleaded when they reached Aramide. “No, thank you.” Aramide said as she took hold of Aracely, “Aracely and I will be just fine withou

“Let go of me! Let me go!” Aramide struggled against the paramedics that tried to take her away from the wreckage.“Leave me! Aracely! My baby!” She cried as she struggled against them, her fingers clawed on the hot ground, “Look! it's my baby, why are you taking me away from my baby” She said as she looked between a particular paramedic that was trying to help her and the ashes on the ground desperation filled her eyes, grief was like a disease, it slowly eats up a person, but breaks them, it breaks with the reality that they are powerless and no matter how many years they said or how many times they cry, they will never, ever be able to get back what was lost. They had covered enough ground away from the spot before Aramide screamed again, Almost as if she had been in a trance for a while, she darted around as reality hit her in waves again.“Aracely?” she cried out, “Ara! Aracely!" She

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
