Chapter190: forgive me

"Hello son, I see you are doing well now."Elizabeth said the only thing that came to her mind.

"Of course I am doing well, your prayers that I die weren't answered at all I suppose. You must be disappointed. Your good for nothing son won't die easily. I still have a wife to take care of and children on the way too."Alex said sarcastically and Elizabeth hearing this, her heart contrasted in her chest. She felt like someone had cut her breath and was suffocating her but with all that going in her body, she managed to stay strong. She has to be strong for heaven's sake because she has to make things right.

"I know you are probably so mad at me right now but liste....."

"Mad? did you just say mad? I'm not mad at you at all.."Alex said his face still expressionless and really cold.

"Really? You are not mad at me?"she asked confused at why Alex is so cold to her and yet he's saying he's not mad.

"I'm just disappointed and hurt that my own mother has been making me feel like shit for years instead of supporting me. My mother who gave birth to me, has always distanced herself from me like a plague. And for what exactly? To make me commit suicide because you blame me for my sister's death?"Alex asked and her mother shook her head lips trembling while tears welled up in her eyes.

"No son... please don't say those things."Elizabeth begged but Alex's eyes were now turning red not because he was angry but because he was feeling pain and not the kind of physical pain, this was emotional and psychological pain.

"The truth really hurts huuuh? Well, I see now that the truth really hurts. You have always made me feel like I'm not enough. You have humiliated me mom, always shouting at me. Do you know how many times I have been lost and hurting? If you really blame me for my sister's death was okay, but treating me like trash was not okay. Hell,, I've blamed myself too for that, but instead of making me feel better and help me through it, you made me loathe in my pain and blame."Alex said angrily and this made Elizabeth now really cry.

"Just so you know, she was my sister too, my twin sister for that matter and you can't imagine living with a part of your soul ripped off. When she died, a part of me died too that day. I hard to face that alone but then you, you decided to add on my burden. When you said all those hurtful things, I was quiet because I didn't want to argue with you. I felt it was my fault too but then my wife came in the picture and she helped me overcome all that."Alex said.

"Alexander....my son. I'm really sorry for everything. I don't know what was wrong with me and I regret every single thing I ever did to you. I really want to make things right. I have been thinking about that for a while and now I am really asking for your forgiveness and asking if you may give me a chance to make things right please. I don't have an excuse on why I treated you like that because I have been thinking of how selfish I was, how of a bad mother I have been. I have been a very bad person to you and I am really sorry."she said sobbing and Alex seeeing his mom cry like that, he didn't like it. He may not be able to forgive her right now but he can't bear to see her cry like this.

"I can't forgive you for now mom but I'll try as the time goes. I'll give you a chance to make things right not because I am Very kind person, but because I married a very kind woman who has taught me a lot. So Yeah, you got yourself a chance to make things right with me and my wife too. Actually, instead of coming to me, you should have gone to her."Alex said.

"I already went and we talked. She's a really nice woman and I can't believe I was so blind not to see it. I am really greatful for the chance you gave me. I am sure gonna give it my all."she said sniffling and Alex just nodded. Even though he doesn't show it, he's really happy that his mom apologized to him. He's waited for this for years and now that he's gotten it, he can't be more happier. 

Alex is one of the people who knows what it means to make use of the little things that come your way. His mom wanting to make a reunion with him is Very important to him because a person never knows what could happen anytime from now. If only he had just been nice to his sister, maybe she would still be here but it is what it is. That was his sister's fate and destiny now, his life is right now is his destiny and after knowing this, he's never been better.

That's why when a person asks you for a second chance, if the reason is sane you should really give them that chance because you never know and this is what is making Alex want his wife to give her dad a second chance.

" If you talked to my wife then we are cool."Alex said.

"Can I get a hug please?"she pleaded and this almost made Alex emotional. He can't really remember the last time his mom really hugged him." Please son."Elizabeth said when Alex didn't say anything.

"Yeah... sure."he said and his mom moved to hug him.

"I miss you so much and I love you son."she said and Alex stiffened. Did he just hear what he has ever wanted his mom to say? He smiled in the hug and at that time the door opened.

I entered the room where Alex was to find him hugging with his mom. Okay...this is awkward for me. I didn't know what to do, leave or just enter. I wouldn't want to interrupt the mother son reunion. I was happy that they are really making up.

Alex mom has been so good since she apologized and she and I have been so good to each other. She's been taking care of me and when I mean taking care, she's been cooking for me. Very delicious food for me and now I doubt if my mom is the best cook I have ever met because Alex's mom is on another level.

I decided not to leave and I stood by the door watching them and hear the silent sobs of Elizabeth. She told me to call her mom but I'm not ready for that so it might take a while before I get used to her.

I cleared my throat when I saw her not leaving Alex when Alex wanted to get out of the hug. They moved away from the hug and they looked at me and I was there smiling awkwardly at them.

"Heeey...."I waved my hands because I didn't know what to do or say. Elizabeth chuckled wiping her cheeks from the tears.

"I guess I have overstayed. He's all yours now Kimberly. I'm gonna go."she said smiling at me and I smiled back at her then she stood up and left.

"Someone is happy."I told Alex who smiled at me.
