HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END
CHAPTER 59
Abby’s understanding of the whole situation is that her mom traveled and she had to stay back with her dad for awhile but awhile is gradually becoming too long
Since Aunt Marty took her to the house, she hasn’t seen her mom and she’s beginning to worry. First they moved out of the big house and she was expecting to return back to her house but Jimi brought her to his house instead and her mom was not here either.
So that Saturday morning after breakfast, Jimi was busy on his laptop when Abby came to next to him
“Daddy…. When do you think I can go and see my mommy”
“Baby I told you your mom traveled. We will go see her when she’s back”
“But why would she go anywhere without me”
“Honestly she didn’t want to leave you but it was an important trip and she’ll be back soon”
“Okay but can we call her so I can talk to her”
“Don’t worry she’ll call us as soon as she can”
“You said that before”
“Well she’s probably still busy”
“I just want to talk to her”
“I know baby, I know you miss her …. I miss her too”
She made a sad face and Jimi dropped his laptop and turn to her fully
“Am going to keep trying to reach her, I won’t stop until she answers. I promise”
“Okay…. But can I go play with Brady today”
“Of course princess. Daddy is a little busy now, once am done we’re going to Uncle Philip’s”
She nodded obviously not satisfied with his response
HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END
About two hours later, they got into Jimi’s car and drove to Philip’s apartment.
Jimi hasn’t been here since that morning when Diana was packing up to leave with Abby just before he figured out she was his daughter
Brady rushed out to welcome them and Abby was actually smiling for the first time today
“Look who we have here” Philip walked out of the house
“Little princess Abby and her father” he emphasized on the Father part
“Hey man. So good to see you” they shook hands before leaving Abby outside with the dog
“Remember if you need anything Abby we’re right inside”
“Okay daddy” Abby was too busy with Brady to care
“Okay daddy” Philip mimicked
“Shut up” they walked into the living room
“Do you want something to drink, beer, wine vodka”
“Jesus Phil…. It’s 11 in the morning”
“And when has that ever stopped you”
“Well am a dad now I need to get my priorities right.”
“Now you are going to make us sound like the bad guy…. So how have you been man”
“Great… But am running out of excuses to give Abby. She wants to see her mother”
“Pheew I knew it would come to this. They are both inseperable. I don’t know how she stayed this long”
“I need to talk to Diana one way or the other”
“Mommy! Mommy!!” They heard Abby screamed from outside and they jumped out to see what’s going on
Jimi was expecting to see Abby banging her house door looking for Diana
But Diana was actually outside coming out of a cab with her luggage.
She’s back. He almost screamed for joy
Abby ran into Diana’s arms and it was beautiful seeing the mother and daughter embrace warmly
Jimi let them bond for as long as they needed to. Abby even went inside the house and they’ve been there together eversince
HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END
Then about three hours later.
Jimi couldn’t hold it anymore, he went to straight to knock her door
She opened and when their eyes lock, it was different from the angry glances and fireshot stare. This time she looked calm, relaxed and warm
“Hi” Jimi was unsure of what to say
“Hi, oh Abby will be joining you shortly she’s having a snack”
“No it’s fine I wasn’t coming to get her. I just wanted to talk to you”
“Oh okay” she stepped out of the house and they stood in the balcony
“How .. was your trip?”
“Wonderful”
“Good and Uhm how’s your Mom”
“She’s fine”
“Diana…. I can’t apologise enough for everything that has transpired between but I can never stand in the way of you being with Abby.
Since you left, she hasn’t been her usual cheerful self. Today she kept asking of you and I had already exhausted all my excuses bringing her here was just to see Brady.
It’s a miracle that you showed up at the time that you did that’s what being a mother feels like being able to connect with your child at all time.” He sighed heavily
“If there’s anything that I can do to somehow make this better for everyone I will.
I spoke to my mom yesterday and she also wished she had a better son even if she won’t admit it.
I have made alot of people suffer due to my negligence non chalant and reckless lifestyle.
Abby is a gift that I don’t deserve and I know someday when she’s old enough she’s going to wish for a better father and probably hate me for the pain that I caused you and your family”
“She’s not going to hate you” Diana answered softly
“You made mistakes Jimi. Alot in my own defense but who am I to judge you. I tried to use your feelings against you and that’s not right it doesn’t make me a better person.”
Jimi was relieved Diana was being to let loose.
“Abby is so happy that you are back. I mean I am happy that you are back” Diana smiled literally melting his heart
“Maybe she can spend the night with you. I mean you both have alot of catching up to do”
She giggled “thank you Jimi”
“No thank you for all you’ve done. You’re an incredible and irreplaceable mother”
He shook his head
“Is it ok if I take Abby to Disneyland after new year. I did promise to take her”
“It’s fine you’re her dad, you don’t need my permission to take your daughter anywhere”
“Oh yes I do. Although am sure she would be thrilled if you come along with us”
“Nah . I don’t think that’s a good idea. You both have to get along without being there. You’re already a great pair just some father and daughter bonding time”
Jimi was grinning from ear to ear
“I am never going to love anyone as much as I love you Diana and maybe this is the punishment that I deserve
Maybe all we need is time, time to heal, time to grow and realize it”
“I know
I love you
But it not enough
My heart can’t take it twice
You already robbed me once
Am not gonna let you do it again
We can’t be together Jimi.” She admitted and Jimi couldn’t argue further
He just made peace with it
