Episode 46
Roseâs point of view
I was walking awayâŠ
The street was dark and lonely but i walked on..
Bare footed and with severe pains on my head and on my legs but i still walked onâŠ
Far away from homeâŠwithout an idea where exactly i was going nor where i was.
All i did was walk onâŠon and on..
Iâve walked for hours and i was wishing to get there..
I was getting tired already..
I just want to reach there.. and restâŠ
But where ar my going?
I canât see anyone and its dark and scary..
Im scared now..
But i kept walkingâŠ
âŠThen i heard a voice..
Whoâs voice?
I searched around, but i canât see her.
âRose..â That motherly voice called again.
I tried to speak but i couldnât,..so i just stood to listen.
âIm sorry for abandoning you there in the hospital.â She said.. she was sniffling and it seem she was crying.
Hospital?
Which hospital?
âI.. i was worried that..that i wonât be able to take good care of you..I regret my action.. I regret ever leaving you.. I hope that you forgive me when you wake up..Im sorry Rose.. I canât believe you are my daughter and..and iâve been hating you all this while..Please wake up..Rose im begging you, open your eyes.â
Whoâs she?
âIm your mother⊠your true mother Rose.. Please wake up so you can forgiclve me..â
My true mother?
I needed to know this woman who say im her daughter.. and sheâs my true mother.
I donât want to continue with this journey.
I needed to see her.
So I turned back..
I began walking back⊠just to see this woman..
I have no idea what sheâs talking about.
*
Mrs Roselineâs point of view
I regret ever leaving her.
I regret ever leaving my daughter..
I canât believe sheâs been the girl with Kelly.
My daughter⊠I never noticed.
âRose.. Im really sorry. Please forgive meâŠâ
I reached for her arm with tears pouring down my eyes.
âYou look really beautiful..Your hair, i really love them.â I said.
Then i felt her hand shake..
Uh.
I looked at her, and her eyes are still closed.
âRose..â I called.
Her hand shook again and then her eyes opened.
She looked at me with weary eyes
I smiled with those tears pouring down from my eyes.
âRose.. thank you for waking up.. You wonât understand how happy i feel.â I said.
âYou..you are my..my mother?â She asked, staring at me.
âYes..im..im your mother Rose.â I said.
She looked away,âMy mother is dead. She..she died seven years ago.â She said.
I shut my eyes,
Her foster mom is dead?
âSheâs dead?â I asked.
âYes..and..and why are you here, crying? you hated me.â She said.
âIm here cos i want to beg you.. To forgive me.. Im your biological mother Rose.. I gave you the name Rose. Im sorry, that i abandoned you in a hospital when you were just eight months old.â I said.
âWhy did you do that?â She asked.
âBecause your father was very mean to us. He treated you badly and you fell sick. I had no money to pay the billâŠSo. i left you.â
âYou left me?â
âIt wasnât intentional.. I felt i wouldnât be able to take care of you. I felt you needed a better parents.â I said.
âBetter parents?â
âYes Rose⊠please you just have to forgive me.. Those people who brought you up were your foster parents.â I said.
Back to Roseâs point of view
I couldnât believe it..
Kellyâs mom telling me sheâs my biological mother.
Kelly came to my mind⊠Where is he?
Why isnât he the one here rather than this woman?
âWhere is Kelly?â I asked her.
âI.. i donât know.â She said.
..Just then Kelly walked in.
âRose..â He called
âKellyâ I said calmly. My head hurts..
He rushed to me.
âRose.. you woke up..â He said with so much happiness.
I smiled.
âThank you..â He said and turned to his mom.
âWhat are you doing here?â He asked.
âGo away from here mom. I donât wanna see you here.â He said to her.
Why?
Whyâs he talking to his mom that way?
âKelly, Rose is..is my daughter and i just want to stay here, with her.â She said.
âSheâs not your daughter.â He said.
Sheâs still talking about me being her daughter.
How can that be?
Then i remembered her eyes.. those eyes, they had looked familiar to me..
God.. oh no! i donât want to believe this..
I donât want to believe sheâs my mother.
I had a mother and she died seven years ago.. this isnt my mom.
âKelly whatâs happening?â I asked.
Rose please donât listen to her. You just woke up from a deep sleep. Donât let this womanâs words cause you more pains.â He said to me..
A woman in white suites walked in.
Must be the doctor.
âWow..Sheâs awake. This is good news.â She said and walked up to me.
âRose.. Im Doctor Ann..How do you feel?â She asked?
âI feel okay..â I said.
âDid you had dreams?â She asked
âSomething more than a dream.â I said.
âI saw myself walking far away from home in a dark and lonely street.. i kept walking on till i heard her voice.. and the things she said made me turn backâ I said.
âOh my.. Thank goodness she did.. Maybe you never would have woken up yet.â She said.
âShe said im..im her daughter?â I asked.
I know its a joke but i just had to be sure it is..
âRose.. she is right.. Please try to forgive her..â
I blinked my eyes as tears rolled out.
I looked at Kellyâs mom.
Those eyes⊠those eyes they alone confirmed that it is true..
Now i can recall these eyes.
They were my motherâsâŠ
Kellyâs mom is my mother?
âI donât understand why you had to leave your daughter in a hospital.â I said.
âShe did so so you wouldnât fall into danger. So you can be taken care of by better people.â Dr. Ann said.
I looked at Kelly,
His face was in a tight frown or maybe sad.
I canât tell exactly.
âWhat about Kelly?â I askedâŠ
âAfter i left you.. I met Kellyâs mom and became nanny to her kid, then few years later, she died and his dad married me.. Im so sorry Rose.. please forgive me.â She said.
Kelly is my brother?
I looked at Kelly and his eyes are shut..
He must be really sad.
I turned to Dr. Ann.
âAre you the doctor she left me in her hospital?â I asked.
âYes Rose.. i am.â She said.
âI donât believe you both.â I said.
âRose.. this is true. Itâs okay,Im gonna run a blood test on both of you..â
âFine. cos i donât believe this.. My parents are dead and she canât just walk up to me now and tell me im her daughter. What about my dead mother?â
Dr. Ann, âDo you mean they are dead? Oh my God.â
âYes.â I said.
âIm sorry Rose..â Dr. Ann said.
âI handed you to them when your biological mother didnât come for you. They are your foster parents.. Canât believe they are dead.â She said.
I blinked my eyes aas tears rolled out of my eyes.
âThey ainât my foster parents. I donât want to believe that..â I said. with tears.
I donât wanna believe that Kelly is my brother.
Kelly turned to me, âRose.â He called.
He is so sad and worried and i can feel it.
âLet Dr. Ann run the test and weâll know the next step to take ok.â He said.
âIm thirsty.â I said.
âIm sorry dear, you canât take water till you are done taking the drip.. Itâs just a little left.â She said.
I breathed.
âPlease can i just stay alone with her?â Kelly asked the doctor.
âOf course..â She smiled.
âCâmon Roseline, lets give them some space to talk.â She said to Kellyâs mom..
She gave me few concerned gaze before slowly walking out with Dr. Ann following benind.
Once they were out of sight, Kelly looked at me and he smiled.
I love his smile..
âRose..â He called softly.
âKelly.â I called back.
âThank you for waking up.. Thank you so much..â He said and took my hand in his palm.
âYou mean the whole world to me.â He said.
A stinging sÂŁnsat!on ran through me as he said that.
âYou tried to leave me? You tried to go away?â He asked.
âNo..Kelly.â I said.
âThen what happened? Why did you had to go out and got yourself in this s–t.. I almost went crazy.â He said.
I shut my eyes.
âKelly, it all started yesterday, When i got curious to know the reason why you broke so many hearts. I walked into your room and searched if i could find anything.. either your diary or paper that you might have written about thatâŠâ
âYou saw my diary?â He asked.
âYes. I did and i read about your sisterâs death and the promise you made to her that you never gonna celebrate your birthday without her.. Then i read about your revenge that you wrote on your eighteenth birthday.. To revenge on your sisterâs death by having..having sex with them and dump them after.â
âRose.. why did you do that.. why!â He asked.
I felt his anger though his voice was as calm as ever.
âIm sorry, i was really curious to know..â I said.
âThen you thought im a monster and you tried to leave?â He asked.
Oh God!
âNo Kelly.. Please donât say that.â I said.
He looked away.
âWhen i read about your birthday. I felt really sad and sorry.. I couldnât believe you made such promise to your sister because you love her.. I felt so sad. And i wanted to end it.. I wanted to get you a birthday gift and wish you happy birthday.. I wanted to let you understand that birthdays are always meant to be celebrated no matter what. I couldnât just stay and watch your birthday go.. So when you begged me to forgive you.. I had to make that deal. I needed the money to get a gift for you..â
He looked at me,
âYou did?â He asked,
âYes. i did.â I said with tears in my eyes.
He pulled his hair.
âYou shouldnât have!â He said.
âKelly i needed to.. I needed to make you happy.. I needed to let you know that i care about your happiness..â
âYou do?â He asked like he want to be sure.
âYes i do!â I said.
Kellyâs point of view
She care about my happiness?
God! I couldnât believe it.
Does this mean that she loves me?
â..I was on my way home with the your birthday cake when i got hit by that car.â She said.
God!
I was the cause of this! i caused this for her.
My birthday always brought pains!
It had always do⊠now Rose got hit by a car cos of my birthday!
I stared at her⊠i felt broken.
âRose.. im sorryâŠ,I caused this for you. My birthday always cause crazy bad things. You shouldnât have bothered about my birthday.. Itâs always like a normal day for me.. Iâve lived like that for years now.. So you should have just ignored it. Itâs a promise i made to Kate..And im never gonna break it.â I said.
âNo..Kelly, you canât continue this way. You canât keep doing this forever. You are gonna get married and have kids that would love to celebrate your birthday. They would love to wish you happy birthday or wonât they?âŠâ
I sighed.
Sheâs right.
âIf you donât let them celebrate your birthday, they are gonna be broken..They might not want to celebrate theirs. Will you ignore them when they ask you about your birthday? Would you?â She asked.
I can feel worry and sadness in her voice.
âRose..Im sorry.â I said
âThink about it Kelly.. You canât go on with this.. Tomorrow is your birthday and you just overlook it?â
âRose..please stop.â I begged.
I felt really horrible.
âYour mom, she said im her daughter.. Do you wanna believe that?â She asked.
âI donât want to.â I said.
âI heard her voice in my dreams.. I was walking far away from home⊠to a far distance that i donât know, then i heard her begging me to forgive her.. to wake up. She said sheâs my mother. I was curious and i wanted to know who she is and then i turned back.. Woke up and saw its your mother.â She said.
She was walking far away from home?
What does that mean?
âI think i was dying.. They say when someone is in a deep sleep and is walking fa away from home to a lonely and strange place, that it might mean death.â She said.
I gasped.
âRose.. if you had left me.. I would have killed myself.. Cos i canât live without youâŠMy life would be imcomplete without you.â I said..
What if mom never came to beg her.
God! she would have died.
âIm glad your mom came and called me back.. Iâll never want to leave you Kelly.â She said.
âThank you Rose..â I said.
My mom had helped in getting Rose back.
Mom had done thisâŠ
I felt like hugging my mom.. I wonder where she is..
Crying?
âI have a confession to make.â She said.
âConfession?â
âYes. That day you saw me with your momâs picture, I was looking at her eyes.. Those eyes reminded me of some who i didnât know. They seem to be years ago and i couldnât recall the person but i was shocked to see that your momâs eyes are just like that personâs.â
âMaybe your mom?â I asked.
âYes. Just this alone makes me wanna believe that iâve met your mom years ago and that she is my mother.â S&e said.
âHow do you feel to know this?â I asked.
âI donât know.. I donât know..But i guess if they test turns out to be positive then iâll forgive her and iâll be happy to know that i still got one family who is alive.â She said.
âYou will forgive her?â I asked. I couldnât believe she would just do that.
âYesâ She said.
âDo you really got such a forgiven heart?â I asked.
âForgiveness lives in every personâs heart.. What you just have to do is say it out and youâll understand that forgiveness is divine.â She said.
âNow you talk like my pastor.â I chuckled.
âYou go to church?â She asked.
âBeen a while i did.. but i promise to never miss again if you get up from this bed before its sundayâ I said..
She smiled.
âI hope you gonna forgive your mom too?â She asked.
I gave out a playful frown.
âIf you do.â I said.
âSo we are gonna be siblings?â She asked and her face went pale.
I brought my face close to hers.
âNever.. We are gonna be lovers.â I said.
âLovers?â She asked, staring at me.
âYes.â I smiled.
âIf your mom turns out to be my mom?â She asked.
âYes.. We ainât blood related.. Thereâs no form of blood connection between us.â I said.
âOkay.â She said.
âI love you so much Rose.â I said.
It took her just a minute to decide.
âI love you Kelly.â She said.
I smiled.
She loves meâŠ
This was the words iâve been dying to hear from her.
Now she just let them out..
I felt so complete with herâŠ
My life was gonna be so better with Rose.
I looked down at her lips.
I want to kiss them.
âCan i kiss you?â I asked..
I was going to do that anyway, whether she accepts or not.
She closed her eyes for a moment,..
then she opened it back..and smiled.
âYeahâ She said.
I smiled and i got my lips on herâs and kissed herâŠ
And this time around, she kissed back..
I just wish this moment would last for ever.
I just wish this feeling would burn on..
But then she gave a painful m0an.
I released my lips.
âMy head hurts.â She said.
âIm sorry.. Should i call the doctor?â I asked.
âNo.. just stay here with me..â She said.
I smiled.
God,.
