The Revelation

While in my deep thoughts,I slept off and Yes, it's another new day and morning, I hope it will be beautiful.

I went out and opened the door and the first person I saw right in my door was Henry; I was startled.

"I was about to knock when you opened the door"He said.

"Oh my God, please do not startle me like that again"I said.

"I am sorry" He apologized.

"So, what are you doing here so early?"I asked.

"I came to check up on you and tell you some things"He answered.

"Okay, come in" I said.

He entered the house and sits on the couch. Staring at me, Nervously I asked "Why do you keep staring at me?".

"Nothing, I am not just happy the way you look, you were more beautiful but now it's changed"He answered.

I sat by his side on the couch "Things happens Henry, So, what's it you want to see or check up on me for?" I asked.

"I just wanted to tell you about what happened, with your mom and all the while you were away"He said.

My attention was drawn more to the part he mentioned my mom, I wouldn't want to miss any vital information as I wasn't really around for few years now.

"So, what happened with my mom?" I asked him.

"Your mom was a very nice woman and it all started since the day your friend came into this house and also when your mom gave your friend Tina the keys to the house" He answered.

I was surprised when he mentioned Tina's name and out of curiosity I asked "what do you mean by what you said please?".

"Before your mom gave Tina the keys to the house, she called me privately and told me that she isn't feeling too well and she has only few months left to live and she misses you a lot and wanted you to come home that she'll like to have you by her side when she dies"He continued.

As he was talking, a little drop of tears rushed down from my eyes as I wondered why my mom confounded in a stranger than her own child and couldn't tell me she wasn't feeling too well.

"I know what you are thinking" He said.

"I am thinking nothing" I replied him.

"Your mom didn't tell you cos she was scared and didn't want to see you heartbroken and dismayed , she loves and really cares about you a lot Chloe " He said.

Sobbing softly, I said "But she would have told me, now she died without even saying Goodbye, she died while I wasn't able to spend good times with her and enjoy her last few months being with me".

"But the incident didn't give you both the chance to even if she told you" He said.

"Maybe it wouldn't have happened"I replied him.

He continued "So, after leaving her that day she told me about her health challenges, I went home and on getting home, I got a call again from your mom and told me to come over to the house, without any hesitation, I rushed down here and there I met Tina as she gives her the house keys".
