HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END
CHAPTER 54
The fact that the judge gave her custody away baffles her, drove her insane
As she walks in to her apartment, Marty was there with Abby hiding behind the curtains
“Oh Hey Diana…. How was today”
Diana ignores as she continues to unbutton her shirt.
“I guess it didn’t go well did it?”
Diana rolled her eyes at Marty
“You think I don’t know you are coming from the court, for legal custody of Abby… You didn’t even bother to tell me, the same way you didn’t bother to tell me Abby was Jimi and your sister’s child”
“Marty pls am too tired and I just want to crawl up to my bed and cry my eyes out without any judging comments. I don’t think I can handle any tough blow tonight”
“Relax am not here to crucify or judge you. Infact I came with a guest”
“Oh sweet heavens Marty. I just wanna be alone”
“Are you sure you don’t wanna see who I came with. Princess hop out now we’re ready”
Abby jumped out of the curtains and Diana’s heart almost leaped out of her chest
It’s been four days since she’d last seen her. Abby jumped into her arms and she embraced her in a tight hug almost crushing her. Diana was wailing her around with tears in her eyes
“Ohhhh baby. I missed you so much. You have no idea, how badly have been dying to see you. Look at you so pretty”
She pressed her lips on her cheeks
“I missed you too mommy. Daddy said I was going to see you at the right time I guess the right time means too long”
Diana chuckled and sat Abby down on her laps
“Oh my God. This is surreal I was coming home feeling sad thinking I won’t get to see you again and there you were hiding behind the curtains”
“I thought you didn’t want to see who I came with”
“Am sorry. I was so frustrated, I have been going back and forth just to see my little pumpkin. I didn’t think she’d be here. How did you do it, how did you manage to sneak her out of their watch”
“Well I spoke to Jimi and he said it was okay for me to bring Abby here for a few hours. She has been asking about you alot and since you’ve channeled all your energy to the court and custody. You missed out on what’s more important. Making Abby Happy”
“You know it’s not like that Marty. I’d sacrifice anything just to be with her again but this people are vultures”
“Okay That’s enough badmouthing. Abby can you go to your room pls”
“No I don’t want her to go” Diana held unto her like her life depends on it
“Then you have to watch what you say in front of Abby like it or not this people are now family to Abby. So you have to choose your words wisely”
“Okay. I’ll behave. Princess how have you been, what have you been up to? Do you sleep well at night. Hope you no longer have the monster nightmares. And if you did how did you manage to tackle them
C’mon Tell mommy all about it”
After awhileAbby went to use the restroom
“So what are you going to do now Didi”
“Everything has gone up in flames Marty, I feel like I just took a g un and shoot myself on the foot”
“Well it’s a good thing you acknowledge that you brought this upon yourself.
What annoys me more is that you kept all this away from me, you left me in the dark this whole time. I had to stumble on a big brown envelope in your room to know that you are being dragged to court”
“Geez not now Marty, am exhausted”
“Go on and treat me like crap…. Have been your friend for five years now…. The least I deserve is some clarity, anything at all”
“I don’t have time for that right now”
“You never have time, you always want to do things at your own pace. It’s almost like you don’t want this friendship at all, like have been forcing myself on you and you don’t value our friendship at all….. Who am I even kidding all this while I have been trying so hard to gain your trust, mean something to you but No, You keep tossing me around, was I just part of the game to you”
“You know that is not true…. You have been such an amazing person and I know I can’t make it up to you but I just wish you can give me time to sort out everything. I need time”
“Time to do what, maybe if you have not been so stuck with time we could have fixed this together but you always want things to be done your own way and here’s something you don’t know…. The world isnt yours to rule and direct somethings just happen contrary to how you expect it to be because that’s the way it has always been….
There’s no perfect tomorrow, no perfect forever, no perfect redemption. Nothing you do can bring back what’s gone. You need to let go, make peace with what you have and embrace what you’ve got…
I cherished this friendship so much but I think you need to heal and you need to do that on your own”,
“No Marty that’s not what I mean. I don’t want you out of my life”
“You don’t want me in it either”
She stood up
“C’mon Abby, it’s time to go”
“No Marty. No pls don’t go”
Abby came out and Diana held her tiny hands fighting hard not to burst into tears
“I beg you”
“We have to go”
She took Abby’s hand and they left.
Diana couldn’t even bring herself to fight it, she has been an horrible and selfish friend
And even her friend thinks she’s a bad fit for Abby……
