Chapter 36
What will she think of him? Will she judge him? Will she scold? Will she comfort me? Will she have second thoughts about my relationship with him?
"I asked you something", she said leaning against the door
"Well we fought", I sighed, turning away from her
"Explain!" I hate it when she forces me to tell everything
I told her everything, from Reina coming here crying to Xavier dragging her out
"Mother why can't he tell me all his secrets? I want to know", I think he doesn't trust me. If he doesn't trust me then why are we in a relationship?
Maybe if he told me his truth then I would have asked Reina to tell him
"Well my child, maybe he is scared to lose you after you've learned all his secrets."
Lose me? Ha! How many times must I tell him I'm not going anywhere. He'll only lose me when he breaks my heart
"Mum?? Do you know something?" I turned around facing her
Maybe she knows something
"No my dear I don't know anything", she smiled
I looked away from her blinking away my tears
"My child, don't pressure him to tell you the truth. When the right time comes then he will tell you"
Don't pressure him? Is she insane or what? Why must I not pressure him? If I don't pressure him then I will never know
"But I want to know all his secrets", we have to tell each other everything
"Quiet! He told you that, when the right time comes he will tell you. Then let it be and pray the right time comes soon!" She said in a harsh tone
I know that she is right, but I can't help how I'm feeling. He doesn't trust me enough to know his secret
"And stop crying! Just love him", she said
She is taking his side and I don't like it. I'm your daughter mum, you should be taking my side
Something is wrong
"Nothing is wrong, I'm not siding with him. Just give him some time. And stop crying. Everything is gonna be alright", she wiped out my tears
"Yes mother, everything is going to be alright"
I wish everything is gonna be alright
*******************
REINA (POV) :
"What did he say?!" If I die today then God, please don't separate my brother and Aphile. They love each other
God, please help me today
"Daddy I'm pregnant with Nico's child. He fooled me. He was using me all this time and I loved him", I fell on my knees, I hate crying but I can't help it, I just cry out loud
"Hush my dear", I know when my dad starts comforting me then he is very angry, he will slap me
My cheek stings with pain
He started strangling me!
I choked and cried. My hand hits his hands away from my neck, he has to stop
"Dad, stop it", Xavier said, at least he still cares for his sister
The angry beast didn't stop, he just looked at me with a very disappointed look
"Dad you strangling her!" He shouted
He is fuming now
He pushed dad with so much force, that he stumbled backward.
I saw a glass of water in front of my face, I looked up to only see a disappointed look from my younger brother. He is also disappointed, everyone is disappointed
Xavier stared up at me for a few seconds before he turned his back and walked away
I don't like it when my brothers are disappointed in me, especially Xavier, he is the only one who understands me
I looked at mother and saw pity, but she quickly masked it with a smirk
Why is she pitying me? I don't need pity
I heard the door slam shut, and both dad and Xamina left
Now it's me and mother
"She was the one who forced you to do it right?" She asked
I'm confused, who is she talking about?
"Mother who are you talking about?" I asked
"That stupid friend of yours", she said
I know she is not fond of Violetta
"Mum, Violetta did not force me", how can she think of V like that? V is the nicest person in our group
"I'm not talking about V, but I'm talking about that stupid fake church girl. Aphile Cadsway", she said
I'm sure my eyes are widely opened now
How the hell did she find out AP is Aphile and that too a Cadsway?
"Don't worry I know for a short time now. I wish I could tell Xavier the truth. It's been years since he wanted to take his revenge. I think it's time", she said with an evil voice
Revenge? No! Aphile is innocent, she doesn't know anything
"No mother. Please don't tell him", if Xavier gets to know about Aphile, he will want revenge
"If you don't want me to tell him, then get rid of that sin in your womb", she said sternly and left
I was in a state of shock. Did she say I must terminate my child?
No! Maybe I heard wrong
****************
"I'm sure you have thought about what I said", she said
I looked at her with tears flowing down my face
"You are such a bad mother, do you know that?" I said
All our lives, she has not been a perfect mother. Aphile is my best friend but also she is our mother
"I know dear, I miss being my old self back. Think about it, dear. Get rid of it or your brother get to know the truth!" She snapped
"Do you not care about his feelings? Mother, he loves her. They love each other", I cried out loud
They love each other
"And it will be so nice to see their love shatter because of hatred", she laughed like a villain
"Time is running out baby girl", she said and walked out
What to do?? God, please help me.
I don't want my brother to suffer because of the past and I don't want my friend to suffer because of something she doesn't know, and I also don't want to lose my child because I still love Nico.
If I abort the child, Aphile will be angry with me. But if I let mother tell brother the truth then everything will be over.
I guess the decision is obvious. Get rid of my baby.
I wiped away my tears and stood up. I know it's time
*******************
I watched my brother load and unload his gun
"Brother I'm sorry", I said
"Get the fuck out Reina!" He said
He may be angry, but I know he still loves me
"Brother please forgive me", I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you
"Reina, I said get the fuck out!" He shouted
"Brother kill Nico", Nico has to die
He looked up and shook his head
"I can't do that", he said
What? Did he refuse? Xavier refused to kill?
"Please brother, kill him", I begged
He smirked and motioned for me to sit down next to him
"Brother, please", I begged
"I won't kill anyone Reina. God won't forgive me", he said
I was startled
Did he just say God won't forgive him? What happened yesterday?
"Brother, you have to kill him", I said
"No, I don't want to do something that will make me lose Aphile", he smiled at the mention of her name
Look at how much they love each other and the mother wants to destroy this beautiful relationship? No, I can't let that happen!
"You still love him right?" He asked
I looked around, avoiding his eyes.
"Reina look at me", he commanded
"Brother I don't love him", I said
"I know you love him and you wouldn't want your child to grow up without a dad", he said
He cares about my child? That is different.
Aphile you have changed him for the better
"Xavier Smith, you have to kill him", I strictly commanded
"Why don't you kill him?" He asked
"Because I won't be able to", I said
"You may leave Reina", he said
He was dismissing me
When my best friend changed a lot in my brother, I can't let them separate. I'm sorry baby
