6 Years Later

A cartoon show was coming on television and Angel, a five-year old girl was sitting on the couch, watch it. She would have enjoyed it on some other day but not today. She looked sad.

"What happened, Angel? Why are you looking sad, baby?" Vina, the nanny of the girl asked her again but Angel didn't answer this time as well.

From the time she got her back from school, Angel wasn't cheerful as ever. Vina could feel she was sad but no matter how much she tried, the little girl wasn't saying anything. She thought of calling her mother but dropped the idea at last thinking her mother would call her in some time anyway.

But when the call didn’t come as expected, Vina could feel she was busy. So, she didn't want to bother her. Instead, she thought of taking Angel out to the park to play and to have ice cream. She agreed to go to the park but her mood didn't get better. All she kept staring at the little kids at the park.

Sighing, she got Angel home and called her mother.

Angel said angrily as the ice cream was dropped from her hold.The young man she bumped into stopped in his track hearing the voice of a little girl. He turned only to find the little girl glaring at her. She didn't look scary anyway but cute. She seemed so cute to him that he got staring at her. "You dropped my ice cream and you ruined my dress as well." Angel complained looking at the ice cream fallen on the sidewalk and then pointing at her dress where it was stained. "I am sorry, baby girl. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I am sorry." The young man apologised involuntarily."It's not okay." Angel pouted. "Angel, it’s okay baby. He didn’t do it willingly and said sorry, right?" Seeing Angel like this, Vina tried to handle the matter as she took out so

    Lilian walked ahead dreading the things were going to be happened. Angel was in Shane's hold! How in the world did this happen? She couldn’t be more confused.But more than getting her confusion cleared, she needed to have Angel in her arms first. For more than she was confused, she was frightened. Lilian walked closer to them but focused on Angel anyway, "What happened, Angel? Are you okay?" As much as she knew Angel wasn’t the type of girl to allow just anyone to take her in arms. And her allowing Shane to take her in his arms was indicating nothing but panicking her."Yes, mom. I am fine." Angel said with a smile but then with her classmates watching them, she added, "See, dad came to my school with me." Lilian's eyes widened as she turned to Shane."What?" Lilian voiced out, her voice laced with mixed emotions.

    As Shane hopped in the car after finishing his activities in the school, the driver revved the engine.As he looked outside of the glass and found a little girl walking by the sidewalk holding a young man's hand, his mind replayed his time with Angel and a smile adorned his face on its own.But Lilian not recognizing him bothered him.He kept his head on the headboard, his eyes closed. His mind was still buzzing with questions and demanding some answers.Did Lilian really not recognize him? How come?His phone rang off pulling him out of his thoughts.He took out the phone thinking who could be it only to find it was Willow. As he answered the call, a cute baby voice came, "Uncle Shane, I came to meet you but Granny said you are out of town." It was Rose, Aiden and Willow's daughter. Her voice complaining and Shane could imagine her pouting.Shane replied, "I had a meeting to attend baby.""Okay. When are you coming back?" Rose asked.Shane couldn’t help but smile as he replied, "I w

    Sitting by the window, Shane was watching the rain. He was supposed to take the flight tonight and get back to his town, his home. But the weather was just worsening with time and somehow he was feeling as if it was an indication for him not to leave from here.Taking a warm shower, he tried to get some sleep but sleep didn’t seem to grace him tonight as well. He wanted to take his usual sleeping pills but found the container empty. He knew he could have ordered Mack and he would have managed it anyhow but for some reason, he didn’t.So, he left the bed and settled on the couch by the window.

    As much as Shane wanted to have a talk like just a simple talk with Lilian, he could feel it wasn’t going to happen. Maybe he should also stop. Maybe she had really forgotten him or just didn’t want to talk to him and that’s why she was playing strangers. Shane sighed as he headed for his penthouse. Walking now wouldn’t do any good to him now he knew for sure. ~~ It was getting late at night. Lilian tossed on the bed not being able to sleep. She knew she had the chance to come clean with Shane but she was afraid of his reaction. And now as she had lied to him already about being married, she wanted to keep it that way. Maybe that's the only way to keep Angel with her.Lilian concluded in her mind. She turned to Angel who was sleeping peacefully beside her and held her frame securely. No way she was going to lose her. She wouldn’t be able to live without her. Lilian thought. ~~ It was early in the morning when Shane opened his eyes after having a dream. It wasn’t a dream actually.

    With a sudden realization dawned upon Shane, he left from there without looking behind for once. He saw the door getting opened through the window though when he settled inside the car. Without bothering, he revved the engine and drove away. Getting back to his penthouse, he walked frantically in the living room. He wasn't going to leave from there but knowing Lilian, he didn't want to take the chance. Nor did he want to argue over Angel in front of her.So, he took a prompt decision of getting confirmed by himself first before he would get to question Lilian.He just hoped Angel would attend school the next day. And when she did, he went on with his plan. Taking Angel out of the class wouldn't be any problem.On his order, the principal declared the day as a field day for Angel's class.Hearing the teacher, Angel couldn't be happier thinking she would be able to visit a place, play with her friends."Hi, Daddy."

Shane asked, his voice irritated.Shrugging it off, Julian asked his question with excitement, "When am I getting the chance to be your best man?""What are you talking about?"

This time he got what Lilian was trying to say actually. What right she was talking about back then got clear to Shane.But_"What?

    Angel was sleeping peacefully beside Rose. Within just a few hours, both of them got mixed so well. Lilian thought as she stared at them smilingly. She tossed on the bed for hours but didn't get to fall asleep. Not wishing to disturb their sleep, Lilian got down from the bed. After properly setting the comforter on them, she walked out of the room. She closed the door behind her trying to make less of a sound. Thinking of what to do, she headed for the pool just like she used to do when she lived here. But instead of walking in the garden, she sat by the pool putting her legs into the water. She shivered feeling cold at first but she sat still. As she stared at the water of the pool, her whole life started flashing in front of her eyes and then there was just Angel. And now Shane. The smiling face of Shane appeared into the water. She smiled back but it got vanished when his voice came as well, "What are you doing here without sleeping?" making her realize he was there for real.

    Seeing Lilian silent, Shane asked again without breaking eye contact, "Answer me. Have you ever regretted it?"His tension mounted higher, the longer Lilian kept her mouth shut."I am asking you something. Have you?" Shane asked, desperate to get an answer."No. I haven't. Ever. Because I loved you as well. I was just afraid thinking it was one-sided." Lilian spoke up, her voice a little louder as if she was trying to hold it within but couldn’t. Shane also got silent hearing her. His heart started beating faster as the realization dawned upon him.Just because of their gap in communication, all this happened. They had already wasted so much time. So, though he was still angry with Lilian for many things, he couldn't ignore the fact that somewhere he was at fault as well.So, without grieving on the past that couldn't be changed, he would like to start afresh. He didn't want Angel to go through any family trouble. She already had enough of this.Shane cupped Lilian's face as he spoke

    "Shane, I know my words will be counted as meaningless now. I am late for years anyway but I am sorry. Please don't snatch Angel from me. I have none except for her and I won't be able to live without her." Lilian pleaded finding Shane silent. "Would you ever consider me in your equation?" Shane asked, his voice lacing with mixed of emotions. Why couldn't she just think of them together in a picture? Just like Angel who went on painting a happy family as soon as she found out about him. He didn't know what he would have done if Lilian had told him but for sure he would have liked to be given a chance to say his words at the very least. And somewhere in his heart, he knew he would have been happy and gladly accepted her. Only if she had just made it to speak to him, he would have been with her all the time. He wouldn’t have missed the time when Angel was growing inside her. The time must had been hard enough for her to handle alone but she chose it for her. She chose to deprive hi

    Thoughtlessly Shane walked ahead and then hopped in his car. But before revving the engine, he didn't know where to go actually. He called Lilian only to get his calls ignored. Well, it wasn’t for the first time, his calls were always ignored by her. Shane thought sadly.He was tired, his body demanding some rest but in no way his mind was up for that. He didn't know where did Lilian go nor did he know what actually was going on in her mind. A scary thought was bugging him but he didn’t entertain that.Instead, he guessed she might have gone behind Aiden. It seemed pretty considerable. He was her cousin and Aiden went being angry with her. And he knew how much he meant to her. Well, every one meant to her something except for him.She wasn't even ready to leave Vina alone in Manhattan. She seemed so concerned for her. But she didn't bother to think about him before disappearing from his life. Now she was most probably thinking of doing the same.No, Angel was in the picture. Being a m

    "You got to be kidding us. What are you even saying? Your daughter?" Julian asked bewildered.Nathaniel stared at Shane before he turned to Angel and then again at Shane. He spoke up joining the lines, "You mean to say you and Lilian?"Shane nodded, "Yes. Angel is our daughter.""What?" Julian seemed to get shocked, "You knew? Then why didn’t I alone know anything about this?""Stop it." Nathaniel let out a sigh and yelled at Julian being irritated. He then turned to Shane, "Where did Lilian go by the way?""I don’t know." Shane replied, his eyes still on the doorway. "Don’t tell me you are thinking of separating Lilian from her daughter," Nathaniel spoke up whatever came to his mind. He knew though Shane was angry at Lilian, he had searched for her. He knew that night Shane was with Lilian. But something happening like this didn’t cross his mind.

    As Rose lead Angel to her room, everyone kept staring at them. When they were out of their sight, everyone turned to Shane and Lilian. Whatever Shane was saying was hardly believable but knowing him, he wasn’t a person to make stories or assumption like this. "Lilian, is this true?" Karen asked anyway and stood in front of Lilian. She had to confirm it from Lilian as well, "Whatever Shane is saying, is it true?" Lilian remained silent for a moment only to make Karen ask her again, "I am waiting for your answer, Lilian. Is it true?" "Yes." Lilian replied hesitantly. "I just can't believe this. Why did you leave back then? You should have told us." Karen spoke up again with so much excitement surprising everyone. Aiden, Willow and Elena were silent till now but Aiden spoke up this time, "Willow, are you coming with me, or do you want to stay here for now?" Before Willow could say something, Lilian spoke up, "Aiden?" Ignoring Lilian, Aiden spoke up, his eyes still on Willow, "I hav

    It was already afternoon when they reached New York. When the car got parked at the entrance of the Lockwood Mansion, Lilian stared at the proudly standing tall building and all around. Shane got out of the car and rounding, he opened and held the door for Lilian. Angel was sleeping peacefully on the back seat. Must be tired from the journey. Shane thought.He was about to say something but interrupting, Lilian asked, "Shane, can't we stay in a hotel?" She wasn’t being able to get herself ready to face his family all of a sudden. She didn’t think she would have to face them again. Period.Shane stared at her. He didn’t want to disturb her peacefully sleeping daughter. So, instead of uttering anything, he kept glaring at Lilian trying to relay his words. He couldn’t just get what the problem was with her. As much as he was trying to take it normal, she was just going on searching things to agitate him even more. Before Shane could say something, Lilian again spoke up, "You never kn
