Episode 2?
? Bundle of Joy ?
“Wow! She’s so cute!”
“Awwwn, she yawns!”
“Seeing her makes me wanna have a baby right now”
I can hear voices talking but I couldn’t open my eyes to see the people talking. I tried to open my eyes, but it seems like I’m too sleepy.
So I decided to relax and just listen to the voices.
“Do you have a baby?”
“Yes. I have three”
“That’s amazing! You are a super woman!”
There was silence for a moment.
“But I don’t quite understand something!” A voice wonders.
“What is that?”
“The baby… ”
“The baby? What’s wrong with her?”
There’s a sigh.
“She looks a lot like someone I know”
“Who? Is the person famous?”
“My brother-in-law….. But it might just be a coincident. You know people do look alike even though they are not related by blood”
Who’s this person? How can my baby look like her brother-in-law?
Maybe it’s not my baby they are talking about.
“What’s your brother-in-law’s name?”
“Harry”
Harry??! How is that possible? Does this mean this lady knows me?
I don’t know where the force came from, but my eyes open on their own accord.
I shut them back immediately, the light in the room is blinding. Gradually, my eyes adjusted to the lights. I turned and see Ariana sitting on a chair carrying my baby, a woman sits next to her admiring my baby.
I guess she’s the woman that helped us back at the restaurant.
I cleared my throat to get their attention.
Their heads turned towards me and a wide grin appears on Ariana’s face. She rushes towards me with my baby.
“Katie, you are up!” She said happily.
I nod and smile weakly.
“Look here, your baby is so cute” she stretched out my baby to me.
I reach out and carry her in my hands, and I couldn’t express the feelings I’m having.
I feel happy, at peace, content and proud. She has a striking resemblance to Harry, you can say she’s little Harry.
She’s my bundle of joy.
Gabrielle ???
“Harry, it’s time to take your medicine” Mom said to Harry.
“Elena?” He asked.
I rolled my eyes.
Mom and I have been in Harry’s living room for almost twenty minutes, trying to get him to take his medicine.
But he doesn’t want to, all he has been doing is calling Elena’s name.
I wonder when he’ll wake up from this.
“No, not Elena. Medicineeeee” Mom repeated.
She puts the tablets in his palm. He stares at them for a moment before he throws them on the table.
“Elena. When is she gonna come back?” He turns to me. “She told me yesterday that she’s coming over to your place. Didn’t you see her?” He asked me, his eyes filled with worry.
I groaned as my heart breaks for him.
He doesn’t even remember that Elena has divorced him, he doesn’t remember the trials they went through.
All he remembers is their good memories together.
“Son, Elena will come back soon. But I want you to take your medicine before she gets back, Ok” Mom coos him.
She bangs his hand on the table.
“No, no! You are lying! That’s what you told me this morning, why is she still not here?” He asked and judging from his tone, I can tell that his anger is rising.
“I’m telling you the truth this time, she called me” Mom tries again, but he stands up angrily.
“Liar! Where is my wife?! My wife told me she’s coming to your place, why hasn’t she come back yet. Elena! Elena come back!”
Tears welled up my eyes. My brother is out of his senses. My brother who had always being cheerful, now he hardly speak and I can’t even help him.
“Son…..”
“Elena? Elena, Elena, ELENA!!!”
Then he rushes upstairs. I guess he’s going to their bedroom, he’s going to clean their bedroom.
According to him, he doesn’t want Elena to come back to a dirty bedroom.
“Mark”
“Yes, your majesty”
“Please take care of him. I’ll call his doctor tomorrow, maybe there’s a way to help him” Mom said.
“Yes, your majesty” he replied.
Mom turned to me.
“Elle, let’s go”
Elena (Katie) ?
“So… What do you wanna call him or are we waiting for the father?” The lady asked.
I raised my head and my eyes grow wide. My helper is…. Sean’s wife! Harry’s cousin’s wife! Dora!
No wonder she could tell that my baby look like Harry.
I hope she wouldn’t recognize me, though she didn’t attend our wedding but I think she would have seen my pictures.
I didn’t know I was still staring at her until Ariana snapped her fingers across my face.
“Huh?”
“She asked what you wanna call our little munchkin” Ariana said.
I look down at my baby, her eyes close, her small mouth pouts and as small as she is she’s already got long eyelashes.
Looking at her gives me inner peace.
“Peace. Her name is peace” I said.
“That’s a lovely name and it suits her” Dora said.
“How are you feeling, Katie?” Ariana asked me.
“I’m fine” then I turned to Dora. “Thank you so much for helping me, I don’t think I would have made it without your help”
She smiles and reach out her hands.
“Can I hold her?” She asked.
“Sure” then I hands peace over to her.
“I helping you wasn’t in vain. At least your baby has returned the favor, by taking after my brother-in-law” she said.
Can she stop saying brother-in-law? I don’t want anything that will remind me of Harry.
“Your brother-in-law must be a nice person. Can you tell me about him?” Ariana asked her.
I said I don’t want to hear anything about him. I wanted to scream.
“Ariana, there’s no need for that” I try to avoid the topic.
“It’s no hassle, I don’t mind telling her about him” she turned to Ariana. “My brother-in-law was once a caring and loving person, he has the kindest heart. He was a pure so”
“Was? Why are you saying was? Ariana asked.
Dora sighs and shake her head, she sits on my bed next to me.
I reach for the glass of water sitting on a small table next to me and begin to take small gulps.
“He changed. His wife divorced him and since then he hasn’t being himself. He has lost his mind and he doesn’t speak as he used to, he doesn’t eat, he’s lost so much weight. I guess his love for her is too great, the only word he utters is Elena, he…. ”
I choke on the water and begin to cough.
“Katie, are you ok?” Dora and Ariana asked at once, giving all their attention to me.
I manage to stop the cough.
Is what she’s saying true? Harry has gone mad? Was I heartless and selfish for leaving him like that?
“Are you alright?” Dora asked me.
I smiled at her nervously.
“Do you know Elena in person?” I asked her.
Please say no, please say no! If she said yes, then I’ll be done.
“Well….”
