Chapter # 35

Ester, I was devastated, I perished. The intensity of my agony was something else but despite all this, Your love was my fortune. It gave me strength.

I went home and saw Mother. She grinned upon seeing me. "Oh, Desmond." I smiled and kissed her forehead. She then smirked and teased, "Why would you come to meet your mother? Can't you live without Ester even for a second?" I raised an eyebrow when I heard it. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Ester's here. She is with your Father." She smirked. I can take a guess about her reason for coming here. It is quite obvious.

"I see... I'll see them." I was about to leave but Mother called me, "Desmond." I stopped and turned to her, "Hmm?"

"How's your life?" She asked tentatively. I smiled widely and replied honestly, "I am very blessed."

Mother walked to me and cupped my cheek, "I pray for your happiness, my love."
