REVENGE GIRL

As the cab she board drive down the road, she keep staring out of the window as more tears keep flooding down her cheeks. Her heart hurts deeply like a dagger is thrusted deep into it. The more she try to control her tears, the more they keep coming.

Again, the thought of the dream a few days ago flood her mind and she sigh softly. For the past few days, she has been trying to understand what her parents meant by she betrayed them, but she still hasn’t been able to tell exactly why. Hearing almost the same thing from Samir, triggers her curiosity to know what’s happening.

“We’re here, maam,” The cabby’s voice jolt her back to reality and that’s when she realize that they’re already in front of the gate. She steps out of the car and pay the man off, before dragging her feet along to the gate with so many things running through his mind. She stop abruptly upon noticing someone standing in front of the gate. It’s a little boy.

“Mommy!” The little boy squeak excitedly as soon as he spot her and she freeze on the spot. Her eyes widen in shock as she watch him jump on her body excitedly. It’s Nelson.

“Nelson?” She call his name to be sure that this is not some sort of joke or something, but seeing the boy staring back at her, she can’t possibly deny that he’s her little surrogate son.

“Mommy I’ve missed you so much. Why did you leave me?” He burst into tears, hugging her by the waist tightly, as if she would leave him again if he let go of her. For the next few minutes, she stare down at him in shock and disbelief, questioning herself how he got to her house and who must’ve brought him.

“Nelson…” She squat down to his size and pull him into her arms, hugging him tightly as tears trickle down her cheeks. She has missed him so much and have been wanting to see him all these while, but the Jay’s mansion is not safe for him and she doesn’t want anything happening to the little boy.

“Why did you leave, mommy?” He cry bitterly, wrapping his hands around her neck.

“Shhhhhh! Don’t cry. I’m here now,” She whispers in tears, stroking his hair while he just rest his head on her shoulder. For the next few minutes, they remain like that.

“How did you get here?” She finally pull away and asks him to satisfy his curiosity.

“I sneaked out of the house and managed to find my way here with this,” He brings out a picture from his pocket which turns out to be her picture. Her eyes almost pop out of their sockets as soon as she spot the picture. She didn’t remember dropping any of her pictures back at the mansion, so how come he has her picture?

“Let’s go inside, mommy,” He kiss her cheek and starts rushing off to the gate while she stand frozen on the spot.

“Come on, momm…” He collided with someone before he enters the gate and he bounce back. He raise his gaze to see Jay, staring down at him with an unexplainable expression on his face.

“Mommy!” He rush back to stand behind Harley, as if he’s so scared of Jay.

For the next two minutes, Jay stand there and staring at Harley with anger written all over him. Without saying a word to her, he open the gate and walk back inside angrily.

“I should take you back home, Nelson…”

“No! I want to stay with you, please,” He burst into tears and hug her legs tightly. She sigh deeply before squatting down to his level and cup his cheeks in her palms.

“Come on, Nelson. This is not your dad’s house and you can’t be here, OK? Look at me… you don’t have to be sad, OK? I promise to come check on you often as from now, OK?” She tries to convince her, but he only stares back at her with a blank expression on his face.

“I don’t want to go…” He hugs her again and cry on her shoulder…

Richmond Hill

It has been so many hours since I have been looking for my son and still haven’t found him. Nelson doesn’t go out, so I can’t imagine or conclude where he must’ve gone to. He doesn’t know anywhere around the neighborhood, so the chance of him being kidnapped is almost sure.

“What do we do, Richie? It’s almost getting late and he’s still not back. Is this how you’re planning to handle this? I told you to inform the police so he can be found but you still haven’t done anything since then. Do you care about Nelson at all?” Mom cry out bitterly and I sigh.

“Mom I’m still trying to… I’m… I’m…” Tears slid down my cheeks as I suddenly lost my voice. I ruffle my hair crazily as more tears find their way out of my eyes. For the past six years that he has been existing in my life, I’ve never for once been separated from him for so long, and now it hurts so deeply. The thought of Cassie flash through my mind and my heart tighten in pain as so many thoughts keep flooding my mind. Yes, I’m convinced that she’s really a spy, but she wouldn’t be so heartless to hurt my son, right? Nelson means the whole world to me and I won’t be able to hang on if anything happens to him.

“Who could’ve kidnapped my grandson? We’re yet to grieve the disappearance of Cassie and now my grandson? What is going on, Richie? Talk to me please,” Mom run her fingers through her hair as she pace in the living room, looking all worried and pale.

The doorbell suddenly rings and she stop abruptly, looking at me.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I’ll go get the door,” I stand up and stride to the door and pull it open, but freeze on the spot at the sight that welcomes me. Standing in front of me, is the woman I’ve fallen deeply in love with for these past months, the only woman that opened my heart again to love after so many years. The only one that can make my precious son happy and feel like he has a mom. It’s Cassie! She’s standing right in front of me, and she’s not alone. She’s with Nelson. Good lord!…
