I nodded to my Dad; I can understand his feelings as I am also a mother.
My parent- in-laws came forward and said with a smile on their face, “Sweetheart, it was supposed to be like this only”
I was hell confused at this moment, what do they mean? Was everything planned to separate Marco from me?
I looked at them, my mother-in-law said caressing her hand on my head, “Jane, he needs to understand your value, it is important for him to know how important you are for him and please don’t be weak at this moment”
“It’s just the starting of his sufferings, it is very important for him to understand the meaning of family, how family is much more important than dreams”
“Dreaming is not bad and neither following your dreams is bad, but following your dreams on the cost of your family and you happiness will never lead you to a happy life”
I didn’t say anything, my Dad took me back home, I didn’t have any appetite for food, by the tie I had reached home Ancy already went to sleep.
I headed to her room and tried to sleet hugging her.
Many thoughts were wandering in my mind, like what my parents-in-law are planning? They didn’t share anything with me, they just said to me to be strong, I am really scared now.
Marco’s POV
I drank till late at night, I was out of my senses, I was breaking the things of my room. I lost my Angel, I lost my life, I lost my love, now I don’t have anything with me.
I did all this for a fucking dream; I never realized that God gifted me an Angel who was more precious than my dream, but I pushed her away from me.
She was with me, she loved me but what I did, I trusted the wrong people around me, they played with my life, God punished me so badly, now I don’t see any hope in my life, I have a daughter, I can’t even call her dad for once.
I don’t think I can live anymore without her, maybe if I die, I might meet her in my next life thinking this, I picked a piece of broken glass and was about to slit my hand when the door of my room opened from outside.
Marco’s POV
When the door of my room opened, I saw Andy standing there with teary eyes, he looked scared, he said slowly in a scared voice, “Daddy, what are you doing?”
I was pissed when he called me Daddy, for a moment I blamed him for all the things, I didn’t have any relation with him, I was out of my senses and I said angrily, “I am not your Daddy, get lost from here, don’t show me your face anymore”
I saw Andy crying hard he stood there and said, “Daddy I will go away but please, don’t harm yourself, you are only one I have in this world, aunty lied me that she is my Mom and now she is also gone, Daddy please don’t harm yourself”
I came to my senses, what I was doing, how can I shout at a little innocent kid, he is of the same age as my daughter. I walked towards him, squatted down in front of him and hugged him, and said, “I am very sorry, Andy”
“I am here, you are not alone, forget that aunty of your’s forget about her, she is no more part of our life, I am here for you, forever, you are not alone baby” I regretted all my harshness to him.
I have made up my mind that I will raise Andy like my own son; from now on I will make him my life’s only priority.
Now when I have lost everything, at least I can raise Andy and give him a good life. Maybe I can reduce my sins. I have made up my mind; I will work hard in this life to fix all my mistakes so that I can get my Angel in my next life.
I picked Andy in my arms and walked towards his bedroom, I bathed him and made him sleep, once he slept I was about to go and take a bath but when I stood up to walk he was holding my hands tightly in sleep also.
I leaned closer to him to get my hands out of his grip, I heard him mumbling, “Daddy, please don’t leave me, she will beat me again”
I felt so heartbroken at this moment, how can Nina be so selfish that she hit such a small kid. I sat next to him holding his hand which was holding my other hand and kissed his forehead saying, “Don’t worry Andy, Daddy is here, no one can touch you, no one can harm you”
After assuring for some time he was in deep sleep, after that I went to take a bath and slept next to him.
Now I think I am very clear about what I am supposed to do. With a strong determination, I slept tonight, thinking that I will overcome all these in some time.
The next morning, I woke up and got ready with Andy, although I never felt any connection between Andy and me, but I was glad that I never mistreated him, but from last night something has changed.
Andy’s smile is giving me satisfaction, I am happy that at least I made one person happy in my life.
I personally dropped Andy at his kindergarten and headed to my office unaware that one more heartbreak was waiting for me.
I reached the office and started working, trying to divert my mind from my Angel and my daughter and thinking of the best way to give a good life to Andy, but my heart was full of my Angel and my little princess.
As I was trying to concentrate, Andrew walked in after a knock; he had a newspaper in his hands. It was visible on his face that it was not good news for me.
