Chapter 178
Meanwhile, Lisa is seen standing lost in thoughts as she stared at her mom who walked out of the kitchen holding a tray of food in her hands and that familiar aroma filled her nose.
It was her favorite food her mom usually prepared for her when she was little.
“Lisa” Daisy called, jolting her out of her thoughts. Daisy smiled at her as she saw she was staring at her come.
“Come, I’ll introduce you to her,” Daisy said and Lisa nodded in response as she followed her.
“Mom, this is Lisa. My long-time Best friend I told you about. You met her at the hospital yesterday, ” Daisy said and Mrs. Rebecca smiled at Lisa.
“Daisy had been talking about you since last night and she wouldn’t let me have peace because of that” Mrs. Rebecca said as she smiled at Lisa with Lisa doing the same.
“Welcome child,” Mrs. Rebecca said to Lisa and Lisa nodded in response. She was short of words. She didn’t know what to say.
“I’ll leave you guys to talk” Daisy whispered to Lisa.
“Mom, I’ll go find Freya. She’s taking too long to bring the clothes I sent her” Daisy said as she winked at Lisa and with that, she left.
Lisa stared at her mom not knowing what to say. She was short of words and the fact she can’t remember her broke her heart so much.
“You’re not gonna sit there and stare at me right? You should join me in the kitchen. ” Mrs. Rebecca said as she walked inside the kitchen with Lisa trailing behind her.
“So, how are you? Daisy told me you were her long-time friend but you guys eventually lost contact and then met each other again yesterday” Mrs. Rebecca said and Lisa nodded in response.
“She said I should know you because I have seen you countless times but I just can’t recall where I have seen you before although you look familiar and your name sounds familiar too but I can’t place my finger where we’ve met. Maybe we met when you usually come to visit Daisy ” Mrs. Rebecca said as she turned to Lisa who nodded while smiling at her.
She felt tears gather in her eyes.
“Mommy can you please just remember me? It’s me, Lisa, your daughter ” Lisa screamed in her head as tears gathered in her eyes. She tried so hard to push the tears back but she couldn’t hold them as they fell freely on her cheeks, she quickly wiped them and then smiled at her mom.
“What are you preparing?” Lisa asked
“Oh, it’s Chicken pasta and veggies. It’s my daughter’s favorite although Daisy doesn’t like it anymore and I don’t know why” Mrs. Rebecca said with a sigh.
“That’s because she wasn’t the one that liked it. It was me, mom. It was my favorite food you used to prepare for me when I was little. Even before the night, we were ambushed and you had prepared the same food for me. I just wish you’ll remember ” Lisa screamed in her head as she felt so much pain in her heart.
“But she told me you would like it and that I should prepare it,” Mrs. Rebecca said smiling and Lisa swallowed hard.
During the time Daisy had stayed with them, she never liked Chicken pasta and veggies, her favorite food was fried potatoes and sauce.
“I had prepared the one she likes now. Potatoes and sauce. When she was little she loved Chicken pasta and veggies and now she loves potatoes and sauce. I believe things change as kids grow up. Pass me the tray over there” Mrs. Rebecca said and Lisa smiled as she picked up the tray close to her and gave it to Mrs. Rebecca (her mom).
She placed the already-served food on the tray and there was a place that didn’t contain the tray so she asked Lisa to bring it for her. She missed those times she usually helped her mom in the kitchen. They were a happy family then and her papa was still alive.
The day her father died was the day things came crashing down for them. If there’s one thing Lisa had noticed about her mom just now, she still remembers some of her past but they aren’t clear to her. She thinks Daisy had been her daughter from the start.
She wouldn’t blame her. Daisy was with her when she needed someone the most. She was the one who had saved her life and where was she? She sighed softly as her heartache.
Lisa helped her as she served the food at their small dining table.
“Where is Daisy? Breakfast is ready and she’s still out to go find Freya. Those two girls I’m beginning to think they are planning something behind my back” Mrs. Rebecca said and laughed making Lisa laugh too.
If there was one thing she knows about her mom, she was a funny woman who loves to pull someone’s legs funnily, and she loved her for that.
Just then the door burst open revealing Freya and Daisy.
“Hi aunt,” Freya said to Lisa who smiled at her.
“What took you guys so long? Breakfast is ready” Mrs. Rebecca said
“I’ll quickly take my bath and come back for breakfast, ” Freya said and rushed inside her room.
Just then Lisa caught a glimpse of her kids who were sitting quietly on the couch staring at her mom like she was in a movie while they were whispering among themselves.
Mrs. Rebecca turned to Lisa and noticed she was staring in a particular direction and then she turned only to see quadruplets who looked so much alike sitting on the couch staring at her.
She felt her heart melt as she stared at the kids who were looking so beautiful and so much like Lisa.
“Daisy told me you had quadruplets, I didn’t think you would bring them,” Her mom said as she stared at the quadruplets.
“This woman looks so much like mommy,” Arabella whispered.
“Do you think she’s our Grandma?” Annabella whispered
“I would be so glad if we had a grandma. She’s so beautiful ” Clarabella whispered.
“And yes she’s staring at us” Isabella whispered.
