Chapter Hundred and seventy seven

"I really need to see you guys....." "First we have to talk to you" Jade didn't allow him to finish nothing was more important than this situation now. "Is it about Sunny? Josh asked knowing already thar was what she wanted to tell him.

"How did you know? Jade asked in surprise "That's the more reason you should come"."Oh....." She wanted to ask million of questions but it seems that Josh have already found out what she was going to do next.

"I'll meet you guys at the usual restaurant" and instantly he disconnected the line. "How did he know about Sunny? Gina asked confused as she was "I think that Sunny might have told him" Jade shrugged.

"Sunny was mad at him remember, so.....". "You know what, just stop asking questions till we meet him, I'm already dead confuse on why Sunny would leave home to stay with me the one woman on this earth, she despise so much, I just need a perfect answer"

They took an hour to meet Josh and Jade have to look for a fitting cloth to give to Gina since they're wasn't much time left to escort her home.

They didn't have talk much on their way because they're wasn't much to talk about and they were lost in each of their thoughts.  

"What took you guys long? Josh asked flushed after sitting in the restaurant for too long "A lot, you don't want to know about" Jade mumbled taking a seat opposite to him while Gina sat by herself.

"Before you start talking, I just want to ask you first ask how you know about Sunny? Gina asked more curious now he was with them. 

"We were very worried about her since she haven't been to school for two days and we decided to go to her house Maybe check on her and see if everything was okay". "Then....Gina continued.

"We went over and just to hear this sad story from Tara". "Did she invited you in? Josh asked

 "Of course, she did, she even offered some snacks to us that was when she told us about having a little misunderstanding with Sunny and how she left her home to her mother Rebecca.... which is the weirdest part here because I know quite alright that Sunny hated that woman"

"Did you ask her the reason why Sunny would go to her mother? Josh asked again. "She said that they have filled her up with lies.... leaving I and Jade more confused.

"She lied to you all" Josh finally said looking at both girls. "Yeah, I know I have the feeling that their was something she wasn't telling us, something that she was hiding because I know Sunny....

She would never raise her voice or have argument with Tara, she adores that woman" Jade said "That woman had lied to her all her life, she's the one would had filled Sunny's head with lies, she told her that Rebecca had hated and abandoned her but that was all lies.....

Rebecca didn't abandoned Sunny, they just lied to her all her life and now Sunny have found out". "What the heck! You mean that Tara has been pretending to her!!  "Unfortunately, yes, she have been lying and this past days have been very stressful for her...."

"When did she found out? Gina asked "She found out when she was on Trip with her father". "That was the reason she didn't make it to the Fair" it wasn't a question, it was what really happened, Jade thought. "I feel more guilty now and even more stupid now"

"You don't have to, Tara had lied to everyone especially Sunny about her own mother, about being Barren, taking custody of her, moving to another location, that's the more reason she had always traveled out so that Rebecca wouldn't get in touch with her"

"Now I see the reason, you made your comment" Jade turned to Gina. "What comment? "She said something about Tara not being the woman she pretends to be" "And how did you find out? Josh asked "Did you know about her all along"

"I don't know...." Gina again tried to ignore the question, she just don't want to talk about what age had done for Tara, it made her feel really bad and guilty.  

"So how are we going to meet Sunny now? Gina asked instead. "Theirs a Dinner today at her aunt Emily house, you guys can join too" "But we weren't invited" Jade pout her lips "You don't have to be invited to be there when she needed you guys the most"

"I guess so" they both mumbled. It just seems confusing, shocking. 

Sunny spent the entire afternoon sitting close to the woman that she thought had discarded her. They talked about everything they had missed in each other life, she listen to her mother talk about her work and she equally told her about her school and drawing.

It was like being at home again, she felt happy and sad at the same time. Like she wanted to cry her eyes out and at the same time jump up with joy.

"All my life, I have thought the opposite that Tara had loved me and you had despised me but it turns out to be all lie instead it was the opposite"

Rebecca reached and wip med away the tears in her eyes "It fine, you don't have to shed any more tears again, I'm here with you and that's what matters"Rebecca smiled. "After all this years, I felt lost, like I would never be found again, I worked, eat, worked, drink, worked, smoked.....

Everything I do, everything I tried doing was just to find something that would keep me going, something that I would hold to but it just keeps failing me...it keeps pulling me down and rubbing me in the dirt....

I tried to smile and tried to live just like everyone else was doing to forget that I was lost to just live because their was nothing left for me only the hope that I would one day see you"

"I'm here now mum, I would never leave you ....I don't really know how I sound now because....I once told Tara that I always be there for her ....it just feels kind of .....a lie....like I don't know what I'm going to do the next minute but I don't want to lose you to thar cold and lonely world again.

"As long as you're here with me ...I don't think I would". "Even though I have heard from both Andrew and John about what happened to you, how you became detach from everybody.....I want to hear your own side of the story, you'll tell the better side of the story than anyone else.

"It goes like this Sunny, A young girl that falls deeply in love with a millionaire, I got rid spend so many special moment with this man and I thought he was a prince and I am this princess.

Everything seems so right, do perfect till I got pregnant, he denied you and accused me on sleeping with the supervisor who had blackmailed me when he saw me sneaking out to meet Sam when we're in vacation.

Sam saw me on the wrong time with him do he now believes that I have been sleeping with him and accused0 me also of being a gold digger that I lwanted him because of his money.

And this happen the night I was supposed to introduce my family to him, but he never showed up and when I went there that was when all this started.

I almost killed myself after this....but with the help of my mother and Emily's mother I was able to survive" "What about your father....my grandfather?

"I'm sorry to tell you this Sunny buy you don't have a grandpa" "Is he dead? "Yes, he's dead to me but much alive to others". "I don't understand" she was curious and wanted to know more about the woman sitting beside her.

"Even though he finally accepted the pregnancy, it wasn't the same Luke the way it used to be. We used to be close, we used to have this kind father and daughter relationship but after the pregnancy.....

Something broke that bond and I never blame him because he deserves to be mad at me all he want, heserves to hate and despise me, I totally understand and that was what happened.

He stopped speaking to me like he used to and distance himself from me, I never judge him because his only daughter had disappointed him. 

Mum decided that I should change environment and that was when I joined Emily's mother, I started let's say a new life with my baby. 

I tried my best to stay happy in order to keep I and my baby healthy that was when I met Andrew and a few friends that have stood by me throughout my pregnancy with you. 

I decided to look for a job and with the help of Andrew I found a work as an interior designer and as a school dropout I needed all the help I could get to find a suitable job that wouldn't stress I and the baby. 

It wasn't hard for me there because his female friend was the manager, we became friends and life became easy for me. I paid for a house, ready to start my own family and when I finally gave birth to you I was surrounded with friends those people that had stood by me in my difficult time..

I started forgetting the pain and suffering after you were born because you brought in so much love to my life that's why I gave you the name Sunny....it means light and that's was exactly what you did for me, you brought light into my dark life, into the darkness and pain and filled it with joys.

And then my life begins with you that's was when I started falling for him, we started working towards starting our life together, we started planning our future, our marriage"

"Sunny, she called and Sunny could only look in her eyes "You brought life to my life and he made me to feel more alive, you both did a lot in my life and I never dreamt of loosing any of you.

You both became the reason I was living and just when I was I was becoming to comfortable with that life, Sam came for you after six years just because his wife was barren and this means he wouldn't have an heir that's why you became his only option.

I tried to hide you away from him, to fight him but he was too powerful with his money and bribe his way to the judge, that was also when my your grandpa became dead to me because he supported Sam"

"Why would he do that, why would he let that monster take me instead of defending her daughter? Sunny felt like breaking down in tears but she was here to console her mother not cause her more pain.

"He thought that would give me an opportunity to live my life, going back to school and maybe becoming the medical doctor that I have always wanted and dreamt of becoming....

But time has passed Sunny, it had been such a long time and I had lost interest in studying, all I ever wanted was to be there for you to raise my daughter but he saw it like I was wasting my time and life.

So he allowed himself to be bribed and he stood by him even when I was emotional broken, when I had to fight for my daughter. 

He broke my heart, how could he, the man I had called my father and finally, I have to disown him because he wasn't the dad that I had once loved.

When finally Sam won the custody, I was mentally and emotionally broken, I have to spend some time in the hospital and when I finally got released, I distance myself from everybody because it wasn't of any important.

I didn't feel anything but pain and empty, I felt lost Sunny, like I was dead and the same alive. Their was no reason to keep others beside, I was lost and I couldn't find any reason to live till John came into my life.

After I took his company away, I couldn't keep on staying here because it was draining me seeing you each month but couldn't be there for you the way I used to. I have to live if I ever wanted to survive the pain and I had to throw your seventh birthday party before leaving.

"And after all those years, I thought you have abadoned me, I kept track of you even though I was very angry at you, I kept each magazine, newspaper any where theirs a company of you.

I always wish that you'll come for me and I would forgive you right away even though I was angry". 

"We're finally here Sunny, we're finally together" Rebecca smiled and sniffed back her tears, she was really tired of crying but she couldn't help it. 

"What about Sam, of course he'll try to do something maybe take me away again". "You shouldn't think about those things, the only thing that matter now is that we're finally together"

Sunny nodded and also reached out to wipe her mother's tears. "Sunny you have a visitor" she turned and found Emily at the door. Who was looking for her, she hesitated for a moment.

"It just your friends, they had come to meet you" she smiled at her, her friends was here to meet her. She instantly rushed out toward the sitting room, she walked in and found them both. 

"Gina, Jade" she called and they looked up and rushed toward her to embrace her "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry" Jade apologized. 

"I was very mad at you for missing the Fair, I never thought that something might had been wrong and we even tried calling you but you weren't answering.....

"It fine, I should be the one apologize for not making it to the Fair, I had promised you guys that I'll would come, I'm so sorry". "We never imagined that you'll be here" "Yeah, it such a long story but I'm with my mum now and I would be happy to introduce you guys to her.

"Won't you tell us the full story" Jare shrugged. "Of course I will but first, Aunt Emily had prepared dinner for us. You guys wouldn't want to miss that ". "Of course we won't, just that it seems a little bit weird that you're here ....like you're really here with Rebecca"

"Yeah, it really weird but I'm happy that I'm here and that I found out about the truth"
