For the very first time, she could see how sorry her mom was. She guessed it was time to let go of the past. She has probably realized her mistake.
If she was gonna punish her mom for long, then Ricky should do the same to her coz she abandoned him as well.
“Please baby, forgive your mommy.” She begged and Yolanda batted the tears in her eyes.
“Yoyo.” Mrs Gonzàlez touched her shoulder and nodded at her to forgive her.
“Please…”
“Mom…” She called and hugged her tightly.
“My baby, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have neglected you, I shouldn’t have chosen my work over you, please forgive me.” She cried on her shoulder.
“Forgive me as well mom, I shouldn’t have distanced myself from you. I was wrong to have broke ties with you, it was so stup!d of me.” Yolanda said.
“No it wasn’t, you had every right to do what you did. I am the one at fault and I should be the one begging. Forgive me.” Her mom said tearily.
Yolanda smiled, it feels good to be in a mother’s embrace, she missed this so much, she missed her mom!
She thought as she clutched tightly to her as if she didn’t wanna break the hug.
Everyone smiled at the mother-daughter reunion.
Mr Adams was the most happiest amongst them all, finally his family was back!
He cleaned the tears at the side of his eyes before it would fall down.
°°°°°
“Welcome sir.” The inspector greeted him.
“My daughter got arrested about an hour ago, I’m here to bail her out.” He said and the inspector sighed.
“Sadly, you can’t sir.”
“Why?”
“You daughter committed murder, and the person filing the case sternly instructed she doesn’t get released. She’s staying here until she is charged in court.” The commissioner said and his brows crumbled up.
Did he just say his daughter committed murder??
°°°
“Dad I’m sorry.” Isabella cried, her eyes had become fat from crying and her makeup smeared on her face.
She looked dishevelled right now.
“How could you Isabella? How could try to kíll someone coz of your stupid obsession? I thought I told you to drop that topic and bury the hatchet several years ago.” Mr Adams said with a no expression, if he was angry at her she couldn’t tell.
He was standing outside the cell, the iron gate of the cell was what demarcated them and Isabella was holding tightly to it.
He knew about the r@pe incident four years ago coz his daughter was associated with it and she had pressed him on carrying on the case even when it was clear that Yolanda won it… That was when he knew of this his daughter’s obsession but he thought she had come of it but he was wrong.
“I’m sorry dad, I was just too obsessed… Now I’ve realized my mistakes, I swear I wasn’t in my right senses.” She cried even more.
“What if the person you shot díes? You will spend the rest of your life in this d@mn prison.” Her dad said and she shook her head.
“No… No… Crysta can’t díe!” She said, covering her mouth with her shaking palms.
“What?? Crysta?? Which Crysta?” Mr Mendes asked, hoping it wasn’t who he was thinking.
“My twin.” Isabella cried.
“She’s in Mexico right now… I swear dad, I didn’t mean to $h00t her, I didn’t know she was there… Everything happened so fast… Please forgive me.” She begged.
“TH! How could you?”
“I’m sorry dad, please forgive me.”
“Gawd!” Mr Mendes ruffled his hair in frustration.
“Please.” She pleaded and he glared at her.
How could she have shot her sister??
°°°°°
Immediately Miguel stepped out of Yolanda’s ward, he met the doctor who he quickly recognized as Bella’s doctor, he was the one treating her.
“Doctor, how’s the patient?” Miguel inquired.
He was d@mn worried about her. Bella who h@ťěd hospital was now here.
“I already told the other guy, the surgery was successful. We were able to pull out the bullets from her body and she should be fine but unfortunately she slipped into coma.” He told him and Miguel sighed out tiredly.
“How long is it gonna take?” He asked.
“I can’t predict… Coma can take hours, sometimes days and most times months and weeks, it can also take years… Let’s just hope that she comes out from it soon.” The doctor said and he nodded sadly.
“Okay doctor.” He said and the doctor nodded before leaving.
He went to check Bella before leaving.
°°°°°
FOUR MONTHS LATER…
“11:55!!!” Miguel squealed, turning to Yolanda who was mulching on a full chicken.
Her lips was smeared with it, she was eating it with her bare hands.
“Seriously sassy, just two seconds ago you were on french fries, now fried chicken… It’s almost 12am!!” He complained.
“It’s not my fault I keep eating, it’s the baby that keeps demanding for food and you brought me out on a date and you expect me not to eat not fair…” She said with mouth full of chicken and Miguel shook his head.
She has grown such a big appetite.
Actually Yolanda didn’t abort the child like she was told, she bluntly refused.
She couldn’t kíll her child, it was better she díed while birthing it rather than aborting it… She will never be able to leave with the guilt…
So they kept the pregnancy, hoping on God that both she and the baby survives it.
As for today, it’s 31st night… Five minutes left to step into a new year and Miguel wanted to step into it with Yolanda by his side…
Right now, they were outside, in a restaurant. You can call it a date if you want to.
They wanted to start a new beginning with this new year.
“11:56!!!” He squealed and changed his position, he went to sit beside her.
“What?” Yolanda asked with a full mouth but Miguel didn’t reply, he carried her and made her sit on his lap.
Her protruding belly was now visible.
‘Gosh! What a weight!” He said inwardly, he wouldn’t dare say it out unless he was ready for her tantrums.
“Miguel, my chicken…” She said as Miguel took the chicken from her and dropped it on the plate.
“Chicken isn’t important right now, sassy queen… We’re about to make it into a new year, a new day… And it’s gonna be a new beginning to us… We both can admit that this year started roughly even if we haven’t met each other then, but I guess this year is gonna make a change… Mrs Yolanda Miguel Gonzàlez…” He paused, staring directly into her eyes and she did the same.
“I want us to take a step into this new year together, with you by my side and me by your side. In both happiness and sadness, we can quarrel but we should never go to bed without settling our differences… We will train our children together, in the right way… We won’t let anyone come in between our love story… We would stick to each other till the the end, this love is forever…”
Immediately he was done with his speech, the sound of fireworks followed as if it has been waiting for him to finish speaking all long.
“Happy New Year!!!”
Yolanda gasped as she watched the fireworks $h00ting in the sky in different colors, it looked so beautiful…
Wow!
“Happy New Year!!” Miguel and Yolanda said simultaneously.
“Welcome to 2033!!”
“Same wish.”
“So your response?”
“Yes knighty! Yes!! I promise me to start this year with you by my side and hopefully to end it with you… I promise to be a loving wife, to love you forever… I love you my knighty.” She said and kissed him.
Miguel reciprocated immediately and red roses began falling on them, with a soft and slow emotional music playing in the background.
“I love you my sassy queen.” Miguel said as he broke the kiss, licking the chicken smeared on his lips..
“I love you too my knighty.” She replied and just then Miguel’s phone began ringing.
He took the phone from the table and swiped green immediately.
“Hello! What? Yes! Wow! Okay I’ll be there soon.” He said and ended the call.
“What happened?”
“Bella is awake!”
TBC…
