A NIGHT’S MISTAKE
EPISODE SEVENTEEN
? CHLOE’S POV?
Tears dropped off my eyes as I watched my brother in the therapist office.
“Don’t look at me that way. I’m fine now.” Daniel groaned.
” No you are not. Please.. just tell them the truth and save the day. ” I edged on.
” What truth! ” Danny yelled.
“You know what truth! Tell Dad what happened. Tell the police you tried r@ping her. ” I cried.
” I did not! And shut the hell up! ” He yelled, becoming vi0lent again.
I spranged up from my seat and left the the room.
I was confused on what to do.
But I knew I just had to do something.
? ARIEL?
“Take it easy, Darla! Just call down” I pleaded.
I was stiff scared… We were just right inside the right place for people like me.
The police station.
“Don’t you dare tell me to calm down! Where is my son?” Darla asked furiously again.
I started weeping. “I was desperate. I couldn’t wait one but anymore.. cos..i couldn’t conceive after an ab0rtion I attempted six years ago.
When I found the opportunity of a mother giving up her son…I grabbed it.” I said and sniffed.
Everywhere was suddenly quiet as the few police men listened.
My heart beat fast against my chest but I talked on.
“Then I eloped with your baby. That baby years ago is right here….in this premises.” I finally said and the silent heightened.
” My…son..is here?” Darla stuttered.
I nodded. “He’s the accused boy in person. He’s Ryan.” I heaved a sigh of relief.
The look on the man who just murdered his wife was shocking. He looked bewildered.
? MARTIN ?
I couldn’t believe it. My son? I sent my son to prison? My breath quickened and my legs became so weak I suddenly found it hard to stand.
“Ryan…my son!” My whole body shook.
Darla on the other hand bent and had a good cry then stood up to face the police. “I wanna see my son! Please…..bring him out!” She cried.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I forgot I was a man and broke down too.
The emotions bottled in me for so long finally bursted. I’ve never felt this sorry.
So,I’ve been against my real son all these while and even about to send him to jail?
?RYAN?
I was thinking about what mom would be thinking of me.. seeing me in the police custody when the door opened and a police man peered in.
“You are wanted at the reception.” He said and I followed him out.
When I got to the receptionist,I was surprised when a strange woman hugged me while mom just stood there, crying.
“Mom… what’s happening here!”, I asked with panif.
Why is a strange woman crying and hugging me?
“Ryan…. she’s… she’s…oh my God.” Mom wept.
” What’s happening here!” I asked, glaring at the woman holding my hands.
She smiled, cupping my chin tenderly.
To my amazement,she turned my arm slightly and glared at my birthmark.
“Yes…it’s you. It’s you my boy.” She wept.
I was confused. How did she knew about my birthmark?
Even the man who has been on my neck about his son had this soft and regretting look on his face.
The woman hugged me again and just then, Alexander came in…. looking as furious as ever.
? ALEXANDER ?
I came into the reception and a new turn of event greeted me.
Why would mom hug Ryan….?
But I did not let that discourage me. I glared at Mr Brooke. “Tell them what you’ve done.” I ordered.
He looked at me,stunned. Everyone glared at him. ” Tell them you just murdered your wife.”
???????
