A NIGHT’S MISTAKE
EPISODE SIXTEEN
? DARLA ?
I screamed at the nurse who took my son away years ago.
The reception was in chaos as the police men were even trying to separate Ariel and I.
“Mom! What’s going on here?” Alex asked and just then I bursted into tears.
” Alex….. I’m sorry I kept everything away from you but… This b@stard here is your father and you have a twin brother.
I’m sorry baby… I couldn’t bring myself to tell you the mistakes I made as a young woman. I was so ashamed of myself.
Please.. Alex… I’m… ” I couldn’t finish my statement cos Alex bolted out of the reception and ran off.
“Alex!!” I cried but she was already out of sight.
“Where is my son! Where is he!” I attacked Ariel again.
” Ladies and gentle men please,the noice is getting too much..can you please resolve this outside?” One of the police men asked.
I ignored him and focused on Martin instead. “You caused it all! You shameless fool!” I cried and grabbed at the collar of his shirt.
“What the hell are you saying!” He asked, trying to break free from my grasp.
“I vowed never to meet you again…or never to have this conversation with you but look at what you’ve caused!
You dem0ns! Your own daughter has been working like a maid in your own house!” I cried.
Martin went very still…. unmoving.
? MARTIN ?
I was shocked. Alex is Darla’s daughter? The baby I rejected years back?
“Calm down and talk to me! Alex is my daughter?” I bellowed.
Darla turned to look at the woman who suddenly had flood of tears in her eyes. “Yes! And this betrayal here is with her brother…her twin brother. Ariel…just tell me where you took my son or I will order your arrest right here..this minute!” Darla yelled.
I was dumbfounded. I have a son? Alex is my daughter?
Suddenly,I felt the heavy stab of guilt I never felt before.
Unconsciously,I headed outside,more heartbroken that Daniel as not my son all along.
Furiously,I entered my car and zoomed to the hospital. My mind wandered to Anna’s body. I looked her up inside the closet..still not knowing what to do after I killed her.
That whore..that bitch! All this while… she’s been cheating on me and telling me lies. I got to the hospital in no time and furiously entered the ward leading to Daniel room.
I was confused when I git there cos I couldn’t see him laying there.
The room was empty. I was heading to the doctor’s office when I met him on the way.
“Oh Mr Brooke….good to see you.” The doctor said with relieve.
I was immediately alerted. ” Thank you doctor. What happened? I can’t find Daniel in his bed.”
” Yes and that’s because we moved him to the phycologist center. He became so violent he nearly killed his sister.” The doctor explained.
I breathed in and sat on her chair. I buried my head in my palms, devastated.
“Take it easy,Mr Brooke. He’s gonna he fine. You can ask the nurse on duty to direct you there. Please,be careful. He’s gonna come back again.” The doctor said and left.
My mistakes stared fully into my face now. Darla has a son for me? Will see ever forgive me and take me to see my real son?.
I was shocked when a tear dropped off my eyes. I never cried…but right now,I just felt like.
What use is it to see Daniel? I should go look for my real son…my real blood.
Without thinking twice,I headed out of the hospital.
? ALEXANDER ?
I sat on the bench closest to the water and stared at the happy people around me.
The sun was still high in the sky making the waters more beautiful.
Everyone on the beach seem so happy but I found tears streaming down my cheeks.
Mom’s words at the police station rushed back at me.
So…I have a brother after all? Not just brother..but a twin.
How could mom keep this from me?
Where happening? Why is Ryan’s mom having my twin brother? Who is he?
And where is he? Do we look alike?
Many questions continued probing into my heart.
I remembered the look on Mr Brooke’s face. It only implies that he knows mom.
I’ve never been so confused all my life.
Mr Brooke…. remembering his name brought back the memory of what he did to his wife.
I cleared the tears on my face and stood up. I have to go back and know what’s going on then face it.
Whatever happens..I will have to endure but first,that killer has got to be exposed.
