[94] UNDERLYING EMOTIONS
The silence hovered over them for a while, Each of them soaked in the depth of their words and Aramide felt her heartbreak all over again. A tear escaped her reddened eyes as she parted her lips, her fists were folded beside her as she finally found her voice and spoke
“For the past ten years... Efrain for the past ten years that thought had haunted me, it constantly taunted me. The mere that thought... That someone out there, forced my daughter into silence or that she had to bear the weight of that reality broke me... I—”
“Aramide listen," Efrain spoke softly as he took her hands into his, he traced his thumb on her cheeks and wiped away her tears. “that was ten years ago, this is now, you don't have to live with that regret anymore, cause now you know your daughter is alive, those people who tried to ruin your happiness... They failed Ara, your daughter is alive and you can ask her all of these questions when you find her"
