chapter 32:

"He is awake" I told Liam.

Ever since the doctor had permitted us to go into the ward; after the surgery was done... I have been staring at my father..and he just opened his eyes.

"Eve" My Dad tried to speak and I held his hand.

"You can't sit yet sir" Liam said to him when he tried to sit upright.

"Eve, how is your husband?" My father asked.

"Don't call him my husband" I frowned.

"Mr Maya.." He wanted to say but I interrupted him.

"This is Mr Maya's son; Liam" I introduced.

"Do you feel okay?" Liam asked him and he nodded.

"I'ld excuse you and your father now" Liam said and left the ward.

"Dad" I fondle with his finger as I began to weep again secretly.

"I have not seen Mr Maya around, and how have you been?" He asked me.

I wiped my face and forced a smile..

"I am fine Dad, as you can see" I lied; "Mr Maya..he told son to come here with me. Mr Maya has really been a good man"

"I told you, you won't regret getting married to him" My Dad said touching my cheeks.
