I Hope You Will Never Regret

At 16:55 pm, the flight attendant asked the passengers to put their phones in airplane mode. A few minutes later, their flight departed from the airport. When they were approaching Africa, the fog was so thick, the pilot couldn’t see clearly. The visibility was poor.

At that moment, the pilot saw another flight coming straight towards them. He tried to descend but it was too late. The two airplanes collided in the mid-air. Four hundred passengers and the crew lost their lives.

At 3 am, Mr Martins was still working in his study room. He saw the news headlines indicating that Air SA from Paris to South Africa had collided with another flight in mid-air.

He was so shocked, he tried to use the phone, but it slipped. He felt suffocated, he couldn’t breathe. His body was trembling. He took his phone and ran to his wife’s bedroom. He even forgot to wear his shoes.

Fortunately, the door was not locked. He woke up his wife and said, “Elizabeth, there was an accident.” Elizabeth thought that her husband was in that state because something happened to his precious daughter. She was so happy, but she restrained herself.

Elizabeth looked at her husband and asked, “What happened to Avery?” Her husband hugged her tightly and replied, “I am so sorry. The flight from Paris collided with another flight in mid-air. I am not sure if there are any survivors.”

Elizabeth was so annoyed and said, “August, are you cursing my brother to die? Get out of my room now. I don’t need your sympathy. Even if my brother and his wife died, I don’t need your crocodile tears.” August was so shocked; his wife pushed him out of her bedroom and locked the door.

August went to his daughter’s bedroom and shouted, “Avery, open the door.” Avery was a light sleeper. When she heard her father’s voice, she rushed to the door and opened it. She was so scared; she thought her father was sick and asked, “What is wrong, Daddy?”

Her father hugged her tightly and said, “There was an accident on your uncle’s flight. Please switch on the television.” When Bridgette heard Uncle Martins’ voice, she put a gown on top, then she walked to Avery’s bedroom.

The reporters indicated that they couldn’t confirm if there were any survivors because the accident happened two hours ago. The police advised the families to be patient. Avery hugged her father crying. Bridgette took her phone and called Aunt Rose and Butler Bruce and asked them to come to Avery’s bedroom.

Aunt Rose thought Elizabeth had hurt her granddaughter again. She rushed to Avery’s bedroom wearing a thin nightdress. She arrived at the same time as Butler Bruce. Bridgette took a throw on the sofa and gave it to Aunt Rose.

Aunt Rose heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her granddaughter hugging her father. She looked at her nephew and asked, “What is wrong, August?”

Bridgette replied, “Aunt Rose, there was an accident on Uncle Edwin’s flight.” Aunt Rose hugged Bridgette and replied, “Let’s not lose hope. Maybe they are still alive. Let’s pray.” Aunt Rose led them to prayer.

Butler Bruce was shocked when he heard about the news. Bridgette called Aiden and asked him to come to Avery’s bedroom. Aiden was annoyed and asked, “What happened to Avery?” Bridgette told him about the flight accident. Aiden rushed to his mother’s bedroom crying.

His mother opened the door for him and asked, “What is the matter?” Aiden wiped his tears and replied, “Bridgette told me that there was an accident with Uncle Edwin’s flight. Why is Dad not here with you?”

His mother smiled and replied, “Did you believe your father’s nonsense? He is cursing my brother and my sister-in-law to die, and I know that they are still alive. Who told him that they were on that flight?”

Aiden looked at his mother with questioning eyes. It was clear that his mother was in denial. His mother looked annoyed and said, “Your father was here but I chased him away. He hasn’t been my husband for the past fourteen years and I don’t need his sympathy. You are the only one I need by my side.”

Aiden looked at his mother with tears in his eyes and said, “Mom, let me go to Avery’s room. I don’t think Dad would lie about death. Maybe there is some misunderstanding somewhere. Have you tried to call my uncle’s phone?”

His mother took her phone and dialed her brother’s phone, but it went straight to voicemail. She looked at her son and said, “I think they are sleeping, or he is charging his phone.” Aiden tried to call his aunt, but it went to voicemail.

Aiden decided to call Lily. When the call was connected, he said, “Hello Lily, it’s Aiden. Have you received any calls from your parents?” Lily was annoyed and asked, “Aiden, have you looked at the watch? Are you waking me up just to ask about my parents?”

Aiden asked her again, “Lily, did your parents call you yesterday?” Lily sneered, “Aiden, I don’t care about those hypocrites, they tried to call me yesterday, but I refused to talk to them. I told the hotel manager that I wish they don’t come back ever. I am hanging up, I am sleepy.”

Aiden looked at his mother and said, “Mom, it is possible that Uncle Edwin and Aunt Cathy were at the airport when they called Lily.” Aiden switched on the news channel.

There was live coverage; the news anchor indicated that the flight from Paris collided with another flight in mid-air due to heavy fog. His mother told him that her brother and her sister-in-law were not on that flight. Also, they didn’t tell her that they were on their way back. Aiden decided to go to Avery’s bedroom to get more information from his father.

At that moment, Avery was calling her Godmother. When the call was connected, she said, “Godmother, I am sorry to wake you up. The flight from Paris collided with another flight in mid-air an hour ago. We don’t know if Uncle Edwin and Aunt Cathy are injured.”

Mia screamed and fainted. Her husband told Avery that he would call her back. Aiden looked at his father with tears in his eyes and asked, “Dad, are you sure that Uncle and Aunt were on that flight?” His father showed him the text message from his brother-in-law. There was a flight number as well.

An hour later, Mia called Avery crying and said, “Baby, Cathy called me before they left for the airport. She knew that something like this would happen. She asked me to be Lily’s guardian.

Cathy made me promise to fight for Lily. She knew that they would die. Is Lily with you? Yesterday, I tried to call her several times, but it went straight to voicemail. I don’t know if her phone is working.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
