Ten doctors hurriedly placed Maya back on the oxygen and measured her pulse. It was there but weak, talk about miracles. The doctors couldn’t believe what was happening, it was too real to be true.Nora only calmed down when she felt the familiar soothing voice “You are going to be fine. Our Maya is back and the doctors are working on saving her” Daniel whispered in her ears as he showered her with kissesShe lifted her face and searched his eyes” Did I hear you well? You said that Maya is still with us, right?”“I have never been serious in my life, if you don’t believe me, look at her room” Nora tuned and saw that Maya was breathing again. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered” My baby came back to me.Oh….my God….I am sure that she intended on keeping her promise that we will be together for the rest of our lives.”Right at that moment, the doctors came out looking exhausted “Doctor Jackson, it has been a really tough Day but I am glad that the girl is in stable condition now
He hugged Nora and kissed her cheeks” Little sister, forgive me. I didn’t know that the kids were in danger. I would have come sooner. ““Brian, it seems that there is something illegal that you are doing. Why do you keep on disappearing? Is there something that you are hiding?” Nora asked and Brian seemed to be caught off guard. Why was everyone interested in his life? If it isn’t his parents then Nora.“What else can make a man disappear? Isn’t it obvious?” Daniel said with coldness, at long last he has found someone to take his frustrations on.“What are you insinuating? That I disappeared with a woman? Why do you like provoking me even when I don’t want issues with you? Have I ever interfered with your private life?” Brian asked.“If you don’t have a woman then you must be gay?” Right at that moment, he was anxious that he wasn’t thinking straight. Seeing Brian somehow made things explode. “Daniel…..behave yourself. Have you forgotten the near death experience that Maya had?
“I am asking myself too why I am sitting in this table talking to my worst enemy. Did I lose my mind or what? What we should be doing here is fighting so that we can see who is stronger than the other “Brian answered. “Brian, we are adults and for that matter respected people in the city. We don’t need to fight, I have thought about it and I think that Nora won’t approve of it. I don’t want her getting angry with me because I might end up losing her again. Right now, she is very easily offended because of what happened to the kids. Maya is the center of her universe.” Brian didn’t understand him at all. Why was he developing cold feet all of a sudden. Was Nora that important to him?“I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time so that I can break your face. If we can’t fight then what are we doing here? “He asked while continuing to drown his drink.“We can drink and reflect on the good old times” Daniel suggested.“I don’t want to remember it, I was your friend Daniel
“I am sorry……please forgive me. I never should have pushed you “Daniel, you were drunk and I thought that if I told you what I knew, you wouldn’t have believed me . But I saw it with my own two eyes. It was Aria who pushed Brian in to the ocean and then told you that you did it by accident. Naturally because you doted on her, you accepted it. She took advantage that you were intoxicated and that you wouldn’t realize it.“Idiot … And you are telling me now? Why didn’t you speak up earlier? All this animosity would have been avoided” Daniel glared at him with icy eyes.“Come on man, I would have been even a bigger idiot to speak up. Would you have believed me? Aria had you under her spell. You practically worshiped the ground that she walked on. Now tell me, if you were me. What would you have done?Daniel raised his hands in surrender” You are right, I wouldn’t have listened to you.”“Thank you!” Edward exclaimed.“Edward, now I know that you have never liked me. All this years, I hav
Just as she was about to sit down, the gang came in. She didn’t call for them and she didn’t know who gave them the permission to visit Maya in the hospital. The last thing she wanted was for them seeing their sister in a critical condition. “Mommy….”Dave called.“Maya…..”Elena called with tears in her eyes while heading to her bed.” We have been so worried about our little sister. It has been so lonely without you at home after we all left you alone in the hospital. We should have waited for you to wake up. Oh…..Mommy, we feel so guilty and we couldn’t eat or sleep seeing her empty bed and seat. ““Sweet Mommy, we had to come and see Maya. Please don’t be mad at us, you are the only person who we don’t like to piss off. We had a feeling that the adults were hiding something from us. When it comes to you and Daddy, you have been so selfish with providing us with the information that we need. “Dylan complained for the sake of his siblings.“Talking about Daddy, Where did he go?” Dave
“I didn’t hear you well” Dave muttered “what you are trying to say is that Aria is our aunt and that we are related to her by blood”“How? Please explain to us well.” Dylan added.“Oh….I feel that I am going to faint. Did the woman who just harassed me all my life my aunt? There must be a mistake somewhere” Elena wasn’t impressed at all.“Yes Sweetie, the most surprising thing is that I am the one who is related to her .She is my cousin and therefore Winnie is also our relative. Your grandmother and her mother are sisters, so I hope that you have understood my point .Can you give her time to meet you? You will see that she is not like Aria. If she was, she wouldn’t have stayed quite. She would have already yelled at the three of you.”“You are right on that fact. Aria has colder eyes but Winnie has soft and kind affectionate eyes.” Dylan noted as he looked at her beautiful eyes. But he couldn’t let her off the hook yet, it might be just Aria playing dumb with them.“Can I look at your
“Let us carry her and throw her in to the ocean, tit for tat is a fair game. “ Edward the most reasonable one suggested. Sometimes, he knew that he was an imbecile after getting drunk.“No one is touching her. Don’t you dare lay your hands on her “Daniel warned and the group stared at him with questions in their eyes. They didn’t understand him at all.“I understand that you are drunk but this is not up to you to decide. I want to show this woman that she messed with the wrong man. Only then can I be able to move on and love another woman .Can’t you for once take my side? “Brian glared at him with hate.“What the hell man, after the long discussion we have had. Do you still love her?” Edward frown his face looking at Daniel darkly.“No……No……No……. you didn’t get me well……I…..meant…..Before he could continue to explain, the woman talked. It has become a trend for people to mistake her every time she meets people acquainted to Aria and she was used to it by now.“Guys, don’t confuse me
“No sweetie… you will have to stay here for at least one month so that you can regain your health. The doctor said so. ”Nora went to her and caressed her cheeks.Maya took Nora’s hands and placed it on top of Daniels” Mommy, do you think that you can forgive Daddy? I have been waiting for so long and I was so afraid. I thought that I was going to die without ever seeing my parents happy together.”“Baby…..you are not going anywhere. Please stop talking nonsense. Just try to rest and when you wake up, your brothers and sister will be here to keep you company “Nora tried to dodge the question and Daniel looked at her funnily.“Maya…don’t worry .We are getting married very soon” Daniel said without thinking about whether Nora might get angry with him or not. For once in his life, he wanted to be selfless. He wanted to make a little soul happy even if he will have to answer to someone later.“Really…… then I will be a good girl and wait for the two of you patiently. I will work so hard to
