I got to the place in no time because I took a cab. I know was not properly dressed but it does not matter. You will be wondering why I had to walk or take a cab when I could easily materialized but one has to trade carefully,here is not South. Anything could happen,you can't outsmart humans. They are the most intelligent creatures that exist.
I was standing at the front door of the building,it been six months I came here and nothing seems to change around here. What an ass I am,if Gina's mom had not invited me I don't think I might had even have a thought of coming here at least. How easily we let go of what we used to do all in the name that things are no longer they way they used to be.
I knocked and waited for the door to be opened for me. I had spent less than few seconds when the door swing wide open and I met with smiling face of Gina's Mom. She have a beautiful smile,hers can cause you to smile.
I was intoxicated by her smile that I did not realise that she has enveloped me into a hug.
"Oh my darling,you came?."
She exclaimed and released me.
"Come in"
She said before I was able to utter a word. I was damned speechless.
"Good evening Mom"
I said after she sat me down.
"Good evening my dear"
She replied beaming. She was all smiles and I thought maybe something happened.
"Look at you"
She said looking at me all over and I did too,I wanted to see what I am to look at but I saw nothing. I arched a brow and she laughed.
"Don't look at me like that"
"Sorry Mom but I am confused by what you said. What do you mean look at me?"
I asked her. I want to really understand her.
"It's nothing,I mean you are looking good my dear"
She said and I chuckled within me. I know how miserable I look plus I am not properly dressed and she is telling me I look good. She is trying to cheer me up or what?.
"Thanks Mom but I am far from looking good. I am damn miserable and I don't know how to go about my life. I know I am complaining too much but I can't help it"
I said, trying not to tear up.
"Offcouse I know what's going on with you but that does not mean you should not see the brighter side of this. I believe sooner or later, your mate will find you. You don't have to give up at this point. You, Xylie and Gina are all I have and I am grateful for the gift of life. In as much as you are older than me in the actual sense but you can always confide in me. I and Xylie will be with you untill this is over,we will not let you do this alone. Let me be your Gina for the meantime."
She finished up and caressed my cheeks. She has this look on her face. A look of a mother to her daughter. I know she consider me a daughter and I consider her a mother. She has taken a role of a mother in my life not because she knows where I am coming from but because she has a golden heart and I appreciate her for that. She is one of those people that add meanings to my life, without they in my life, I don't know what my life would have be come off.
"Mom you make me want to cry. I don't even know what I will do without you guys. You and Gina has been more than I could ask for. You stood up for me,not everyone will be able to do that. I consider myself lucky to have you guys in my life and forever will I consider myself lucky. You will not know what this mean to me but it means a lot."
I said gratefully and she smiled.
"It's okay my darling,you have done more than enough yourself. You have been my daughter's godmother for as long as I could remember and that alone earned you my respect. I adore you so much. I have not really have time to thank you enough. One of these days I will make it up to you"
There is no different between Gina and this woman sitting right here beside me. They both sure have a way of making you feel loved. They see what others don't see, taking things as you see them has been their motto and they believed so much that better things are coming and that one should not lose hope because of some trials that is coming the person's way.
I have learnt a lot being around them and I think with what I have learnt I am going to sail through. Their words and encouragement has kept me going so far and I am more grateful than grateful itself.
I love them to the moon and out.
