Chapter Six

"Clinton ,are you going to be like this forever ?

It's been six months yet all you spend your time to do is drink and mess up your room all day !"Klara complained putting things in it's right place .

"Klara , I think you don't understand what is going on here !

It's been six months but I have heard nothing from Liza !

Attorneys at the firm are asking about her but to no avail !

We have hired detectives and paid them more than they should earn but they have brought no news about Liza !

She left with nothing so how is she managing over where she is ?!

I have heard nothing for six months and that is driving me crazy!

Klara ,having to survive each day without her makes my day and life useless and meaningless!

If I don't find her ,I'm sure I will die of sorrow any time soon!

Do you get it ?!"Clinton asked knocking his elbow against the mirror causing it to shatter into pieces .

"Clinton ! I give you my word and that is to find Liza ! You will both end up together ,I promise !"She said hugging him .

.. ..

"Liza ,haven't you thought of going back home ?!"

"No Grany ! I have nothing to offer back home . I'm happy over here by your side . I enjoy helping you at the market !"Liza said helping her to pack her fishes in the crate .

" I must say , ever since you joined me at the market , my finances have improved . Thank you very much dear ,I'm grateful !"

"Grany ! It cannot be compared to the help you have given me . As a matter of fact ,I have learnt a lot of things that will benefit me in my life !"I said and continued to help her pack her fishes .

As I sat by the shore of the sea , one name rang in my mind . I missed him a lot but all I did was for his own good . I hope he was doing well .

Zambalas was very cool and I enjoyed it .

I helped Grany sell her fishes in the market and performed basic chores in her hut . I enjoyed her company very much .

"I know you can't sleep Liza ,so why don't you wake up and take fresh air outside !"

"I just can't , because the memories can't be wiped off !"I said to her with teary eyes .

"Is someone special waiting for you back at home ?"She asked with giving an eye .

"Oh Grany! I wished our story was different but unfortunately ,it's not !

No matter how hard I try to go away from him ,his memories always come into play !"I explained .

"Liza ! Clinton loves you and he is waiting for your return eagerly . Your love has been put to challenge and it's up to you to fight the challenge !"She said surprisingly .

"How did you know his name ?"I asked a bit surprised because I never mentioned it to him .

"Liza ! I can see your past and future just by touching your body . I inherited it from my grandmother !

Liza ,I also know you are an alien witch and Clinton is a human alien . This is the main reason why your relationship has been opposed by your families.

I'm a witch Liza !"She said it bluntly and simply .Was I supposed to be shocked by that ?

Lately ,nothing was surprising me anymore actually ..!

"It is from my family lineage that came your clan . My ancestress got involved with an alien and they reproduced .Out of their relationship came your clan .

She was banished from our clan and ever since then ,an enmity has been created between aliens and witches !

But Liza ,you are destined to be with Clinton .

Your generation would expand your creatures .

You are with good heart so I will help you Liza .

I will grant you your wish !"She once again said simply while holding my hands .

I wasn't surprised by her words either , instead ,it seemed fun to listen to more stories from this certain clan that I evolved from .

But who was I to refuse her wish opportunity ?

"Are you serious about it Grany ?"I asked with much expectations in my eyes .

"Yes I am ! The elderly witches in our coven sent me here to help you because your godmother happens to be one of them !"She unveiled a new secret about my life too and that too ,about a certain godmother whom I didn't ever get to meet .

"What is all this ? Umm! I don't understand what you are saying Grany .

Please explain further !"I said .

"Today ,I will fill all the missing details in your mind !" She held my hand ,recited some words and all of a sudden ,we were in an empire .

No doubt ,the place was very big but I felt heavy while walking through the halls .

It was as if some kind of power was pulling me as I was walking .

We appeared in a garden where a woman with a wand decked up in white was standing .

As she turned around ,I panicked and almost froze to death .

"Good heavens !"I exclaimed as I saw my image right in front of me .She was embellished in style .

I thought I was dreaming but every scene was real !

"Argh!!!!"Out of panic ,I shouted and fainted .

I felt a tap on my hand after a while .

"Liza my dear ,wake up !"I suddenly woke up and it was Grany sitting beside me .

She looked beautiful and young this time .

I wasn't surprised since she told me about how she could disguise herself .

"Is this really you ?"I asked grunting .

"Yes ,this is who I am Liza ! Jean Grey as I already told you . Call me by my first name because I'm just two years older than you !

I brought you breakfast ,eat and feel healthy !"I didn't refuse because I was really hungry .The aroma was great and the caterer did really well preparing the food .

But wait ! Was it morning already ? And ,did I just hear that she was just two years older than me ?!

"Careful Liza ! You might get choked !"She added .

"Jean ! Hamburgers are my favourites !"I added and ate more although I was really baffled by whatever that was going on .

" She knows that perfectly well and everything about you too!"Jean said tugging my hair behind my ears .

"Who ?"I asked throwing my eyes about .

"Corazon ,your biological mother !" I stopped eating ,spewed the food on Jean unintentionally and took my breath for a moment .

"W..What do you mean ?! You know ? Jean ,it's enough already ! I'm tired of all this !

Please take me out of here because I don't feel comfortable in here !"I quickly jumped off from the bed not bothering to clean the mess that I created .

"I can't Liza ! You told me you wanted to know the truth so it's time to face the truth!

Liza ,among all the struggles you have faced in life ,you can't give up on this one .!

Do it for your happiness with Clinton! After you know the whole truth about your birth , you will break every barrier of struggle in your life .

Liza ! Master courage and face what fate has for you !"Jean said holding my hands tightly .

"Then where's my godmother ?"I asked .

"She's not your godmother but your biological mother !

I'm sorry I lied to you earlier !

I will live you to think about it and when you are ready to meet her ,just call me and I will bring her to you !"She left without any further clarifications.

Life was playing with my mind and emotions .

I was stuck in questions than finding answers .

I didn't know who I was anymore because it seemed as if everyone had a different version of my life to tell.

"Liza !"I questioned myself taking a look at my reflection in my mirror with just one thought in mind :

"WHO AM I?!"
