?SECRET CRUSH?
?EPISODE 20?
Mariel’s POV
I walked into the posh restaurant, my bangles dangling as i walked elegantly with my high heels. I stopped in the middle of the large room and rolled my eyes, scanning for where Mrs Gomez, my mother was sitting.
I looked from right to left and then at the front, i saw her sitting on a chair in the Vip ward, she was sipping a cup of Cappuccino, she saw me, smiled, waved at me and then signal to me to come over.
***
After the discussion with my aunt the previous night and promising her to talk to my Mom, she left and phoned my mom immediately to tell her about the news.
They agreed on me visiting her at the restaurant and we picked a time cos of my schooling.
I explained to my manager that i wouldn’t be at work for a day, she accepted after i gave her a concrete explanation.
She told me to make sure i come to work on Monday since the remaining two days were weekend when i don’t work.
After i came back from school and had lunch, my mom sent a driver to pick me up.
I made sure i dressed well, i wore a short pink floral gown with a pink shoe, i put my necklace and bracelet since i wasn’t a fan of make up and earrings. (My earlobes aren’t pierced).
My aunt commented nice on my outfit and i walked outside and entered the car that drove me and stopped at this classy restaurant.
***
I sat down on one of the chairs while Mrs Gomez sat on one. She kept on smiling happily at me which i didn’t return.
“I’m so glad you came Mariel, what would you like to have, coffee, meal, snacks, ic……
“Please Mrs Gomez, I’m not hungry, i only came here ‘cos my aunt said you’ve gat something to tell me” i said with raised eyebrows.
“Oh.. umm… yeah” she said.
“You can go ahead” i said.
“I’ve been a pr0stitute for three months now, a friend introduced the business to me when my parents died in a motor accident…. since i joined the business i’ve bern living a good life… i was able to afford certain things on my own…”
She paused.
“I met your father one night when i went to do my business… we both made love…. he needed me so badly and i forgot to tell him to use a condom… after the whole thing… i found out i was pregnant after 3 days….”
Tears were fighting to pour out from my eyes when my dad name was mentioned. I had to compose myself and take back the tears.
“I told your father about it and i was thinking he’d tell me to ab0rt the child… but your… your father was very happy about it and he asked me to marry him… i couldn’t get married to a poor man so i refused… i stopped pr0stitution cos my tummy was protruding really fast…. then when i gave birth to you, i gave you to your father…. i stayed with you for some years and i went away..”
“The way you begged and cried then… telling me to take you with you pricked my heart… i wished i could take you with me but i just can’t i know you’d be a hindrance to my business… and i wasn’t ready to be a mother now”
I nodded and faced away.
“I went to Paris… started a new life as a waiter in a big restaurant with the help of a friend…. there i met Mr Gomez, a rich politician and we both fell in love with eachother. I heard your father’s death from a friend so i agreed to marry Mr Gomez…. honestly Mariel i never stopped thinking about you every single minute of my life… i knew you’d never forgive me but i was a small naive girl who was in need of money and not ready for a child..”she said.
“Yeah… a girl that didn’t care if her ten years old daughter died or not, if she eats well or if she even live comfortable after her father’s death” i said… tears rushed out from my eyes and I let them roll freely.
“I’m sorry My child….
“So why are you back, why didn’t you stay with your rich husband since that’s the kind of life you’ve alway wanted” i said in tears and anger.
“My conscience never stopped pricking me, even when I look at my children i still thought of you Mariel…. I knew I’d never be happy if I don’t come here” she said and her tears fell too.
“I really hope you can forgive me my child…. I’m really sorry for everything… i really am” she said, stood up and crawled toward me.
She knelt down beside me and held my legs as she kept crying.
“Please forgive me… please..” she begged crying.
So many eyes were on us and i could see the confused look on their faces… but my mom didn’t care…. she only wanted my forgiveness.
“Please give me a chance to be your mother again… I want to give you the life you really deserve” she said crying.
I knew I couldn’t remain angry with her forever… her tears and plead already melted my strong heart.
This is a very good day for me… I finally found my mom who is ready to take me and love me.
“It’s okay mom… i forgive you” i said.
She faced up and looked at me as a smiled escaped her trembling lips and brightened her wet face.
I stood her up and hugged her… we both cried on eachother shoulder… I now have a mother.
“Thank you so much Mariel… my child… Thank you so much…” she said.
She held my face in her palm and kissed my fore head deeply.
We both smiled at each other and hugged again.
I’m happy right now… My mother whom i had lost all hope of meeting finally came back to me….
We’re good now…. so good.
