Chapter Hundred and fifty seven
"So this means it isn't my fault? "Of course, it isn't, you're such a darling" Sunny smiled at that, of course it a relief knowing that she wasn't the one that made her mother's mood unpleasant.
"It just that..... You know she met Rebecca and you know it never an unpleasant thing to meet her, she keeps on thinking it your mother that pushed you away from her"
"That isn't true, mother always made me realize how bad she is and I’m the one that made that decision not to be any way around her and she should know that".
"I know right, that's why I'm proud of you, you'll never desert the only person who has cared and loved you all these years because she's the one who truly loves you"
Sunny walked toward her father and embraces him "I'll never leave you both for that woman. "I'm happy that I won't lose my daughter"
She smiled with a listen peace of mind knowing she would have been messed up us she had found out that she was the one who has caused her mother's mood swing.
"So don't worry and give you mum so time alone, she'll be fine by then" she nodded and made her way outside, she was a little relieved but that doesn't mean she was happy knowing it was Rebecca who caused everything.
What kind of a bunny is that, always causing problems everywhere she is, she just wanted to yell at her and tell her off.
That no matter what she does that she would never leave those that loves her so much and be with her.
She really wants to meet that woman and give her a piece of her mind, this nonsense to stop, Sunny tried to live her best life as the weeks passed by, she tried to forget about Rebecca and tried to make Tara happy through the week so she can forget the encounter with her and at the same time she spends her time with her friends not forgetting to give them gist about each details there her friend by the way.
“So tell me Gina any news so far” Tara sat as she watched the girl who had her hands crawled together on her laps “Sunny is still friend with Josh Andrew’s son but I don’t think there’s anything going on between them” “Is that what my daughter told you? “yeah and not only that I had also seen them…..there’s nothing”
“well I’m glad to hear that, I’m very proud of my daughter, you should be proud of your friend too” “I’m proud of her” Gina tried her best to smile because that would cause a hell lot of problem if she knows that she isn’t happy being around he This woman who seems all nice but outside but she’s nothing like that inside and this had become her daily routine each day reporting her daughter daily life to her. She feels like a traitor whenever she’s with her friends but she had no other choice but to do it, Tara had kept her word about helping her family out with the bills and she had done more while she supplies her with the information and what surprise her is that she wants the whole details or relevant or irrelevant, she will it and listen to all she has to say.
If this was what she has to do to save her family from their poor status she has no other choice but to do it that what she had thought but today she thinks she had, had enough, she was tired of feeling like a traitor around her friends. She was tired of being used by this woman that Sunny believes so much in, she’s so tired and mad at herself.
Gina felt as if she would go crazy if she spent any more time with her “I don’t think I can do this for you anymore” she blurted out “What do you mean by that” the smile on Tara’s face died “I can’t do for you” “You can’t do this for me? Tara asked mockingly with a laugher “Do you think you’re doing me a favor? “Wait is that what you think?
Gina shook her head and tightened her fist in fear “Well, Gina if you think that way no problem, you can go and don’t bother coming back” “Huh? Gina almost got struck by her words and didn't make any attempt to stand up from where she was sitting, Tara watched her too without saying a word.
"Are you going to do anything to my family? "Why would you think tha6? Tara asked the stiffed girl that was sitting in front of her " I...I...don't know" Tara shrugged and went back to her work not sparing the young girl a gaze, she might say whatever she wants now but of, she would come back because she knows the consequences of not coming back.
Gina sat for a while before she stood up and made her way out of the office in silent, she never wanted to be back here that's the last thing she ever wanted, to come here and rattles her friends secret that's what's she had been doing for the past weeks and she felt sick anytime she came out of her now he was going to act as if nothing happen but today she didn't feel sick or miserable she felt a little bit relief that she would never set her feet her again.
Tara watched the close door as she left, Of course, she would be back because she's the only way she could monitor and watch Sunny is through her, Rebecca might be happy because she won the contract but she would still know that she's still at a bigger lost no matter what she does.
The next day, she had some few works to do and after that she decided to make some snacks for Sunny who she had known was upstairs reading for her exams, she has to become that type of mum just so Rebecca won't win over her, she would have her daughter and let her die in pain that exactly want she wanted.
After few of staying in the kitchen, she heard the doorbell and went over to open the door who could that be since she was not expecting anyone, she made her way to the door and as she opened it she got the shock of her life seeing the person at her door step.
"What are you doing here? "What a great surprise right? Tara clenched her fist in anger as she stared at the one woman she never wished to see near her home "What are you doing here? "Well, I'm here to see my daughter, I don't remember it being a wrong thing, I have the permission by the law you can't keep me from my daughter"
"Well, you have it all wrong, I'm not the one keeping you from your daughter, your daughter is the one who don't want to see you or have anything to do with you" "I don't think that any of your business, allow me to deal with my daughter myself" They both stared hard at each other non of them was ready to back down.
"I'm not leaving here today without meeting my daughter so you better not stand in my way" "I'm not allowing you inside my house" "You don't have the right to stop me, I have every right to be here and if you would excuse me now, I'll like to go and meet my daughter"
"Tara stood for a while not knowing what to say, of course, she can't stop her from seeing her daughter because she have already have the permission by the law, she clenched her fist in anger and decided to maintain her calm posture "And what made you think Sunny would agree to meet you"
"I told you that's not your business, I'll deal with that when the time comes, she's my daughter and not yours" "But you're not the one she recognizes as her mother" "Can you excuse me Tara, I want to meet my daughter and you're obstructing"
Slowly, Tara made way for her to enter while she clench and unclenched her fist, this couldn't be possible, how dare her, but she couldn't do anything but watch her go inside and asked one of the maid for direction, the maid stared at her and when she didn't speak, the maid proceed by taking her upstairs to Sunny room.
Rebecca stood at her daughter door when she was shown to the room, se knows how much her daughter hated her and won't want to see her and she knows her reaction towards her wouldn't be good at all but she was her daughter and she have to try even if to explain her some a little.
She took a deep breath and tapped gently on the door, she did not know what to expect but that would not stop her from meeting her daughter "mum" she heard her daughter's voice as she pulled open the door, her heart melted just the sound of her voice.
It reminded her the way she had used to call her mother, when she was little, of course if she knows that she was the one standing at the door she would regret ever calling the name mother, this is where her relationship with her daughter had become.
"Sunny turned from the where she was sitting at her reading desk to face her mother because she had promise to make her some snacks but was shock to the bone as she stare at the woman standing there, this can't be happening, this isn't real maybe she was hallucinating.
Her eye shifted to the door and she saw Tara standing there with a pale and angry face "Mum, she called as she glared at Rebecca "What is she doing here? "she insisted on seeing her daughter" "You shouldn't have allowed her in, she have no right to be here"
"I have every right to be here Sunny" "No, you don't, you can't be here" she turned to Tara "Mum you should ask her to leave, she can't be "Sunny turned and glared at Rebecca but she stood there with her eyes on her "My daughter did not want to see you or even speak tp you, you should lea e Rebecca"
"I'm not here to talk or see you, I'm here for my daughter "I don't want to see you and I'm not your daughter neither are you my mother"
"When I'm done speaking with you, you can decide then if you still want me here or not" Rebecca turned to Tara who was still standing there with an angry face "I nee you to excuse us I want to have some moment with my daughter or if you don't want this or give me the permission I deserve then I'm sure you're ready to face whatever that's comes your way"
"she doesn't want to see you, don't you understand and you can't do that, you can't force her against her will? Rebecca took some step toward Tara, she wouldn't let her ruin this chance she got with her daughter, she took some steps toward her "I'm her mother and I have the chance to see her anytime I want and I won't have you telling me otherwise, so can I have some moment with my daughter or do you want to face the consequences of stopping me?
Tara walk toward Sunny whose face was crowded in fury "You don't have to worry, If you need me or anything, just call out to me, I would be close by "Mum, I don't want to spend even if it minutes with her in here" "I know that but you can see in this situation theirs nothing we can do" Tara kissed her on the forehead before moving away from her.
Sunny shook her head in anger, she doesn't want this woman her and why Tara not stop her by any means instead she was leaving her with a person who isn't worthy to be called a mother, she watched Tara stared at Rebecca one last time before leaving the room and shutting the door behind her.
She can't do this, she should find a way to get this woman out of her room, she wanted her out of her life, she didn't want her here. She just wanted a life she wasn't in, just when she had totally put her off her mind she resurface again.
She couldn't believe she was alone with this woman in her room "What are you doing here? Sunny didn't want her to spend more than a minutes with her "I have come to see my daughter" "And do you realize you're no welcome here" "Of course, I do" "Then get out if you do, I don't want you here" "Not till I'm done speaking with you Sunny?
"And what is there to talk about Rebecca, tell me? "Theirs a lot to talk about Sunny, a lot you misunderstood? "misunderstood? Sunny let out a painful laugh" "You think I misunderstood you? Tell me exactly what you think I misunderstood because I'm very sure that I got everything clear the way it was.
"I think you should give me time to explain myself to you" Sunny took a step away from her, she should just ignore her till she leaves but she can't see herself doing that either, what did she really want to explain? Their was nothing there to explain all she wanted was to see her leave.
Her presence annoy and makes her angry, this was all getting on her nerve and she was tired of her trying to meet her every time to give an unnecessary explanation, she tried to calm herself but she couldn't ignore all the questions and anger within her.
She turned back to her in anger "You said I should give you time to explain yourself, tell me what exactly what you want to explain to me? is it the way you abandon me and each day I hoped and waited to hear a word from you, even a brief letter from you didn't come, you made me wait like I'm a fool, each night I see myself missing you but ....you...
"You didn't care about anyone than yourself, I really hated myself for waiting or even waiting for you" "Is that the reason you made me wait at the restaurant? That was to show me how you waited right? and they made you believe that I didn't try to call or even send words to you"
"Nobody made me believe anything, it just the real fact, you didn't care all those years and all of a sudden you came back and tried to give me a silly and dumb explanation to justify yourself, do you know what? you don't deserve to be a mother or even to be called one....
