Chapter 094

"Mom... I'm sorry," I cried while hugging her tightly. She gently pull me to face her and she immediately wiped my tears. I missed her, I missed my mom. "You don't have to say sorry, it's not your fault, my daughter. I'm the one who should apologize to you. I'm sorry sweetie, I hope you can forgive me for what I did." "I forgave you a long time ago and I'm not mad at you anymore." Tears started to flow from her eyes because of what I had said. I know this is what she wants to hear from me, to forgive her for what she has done. Yes, I still can't forget what she did to my dad, what she did to me, but she deserves to be forgiven. I was not the only one who was hurt by what happened, but she was also hurt. She's my mom, she's all I have and I don't want to lose her from my life. *** "Vienna, take care here, and don't forget to take care of yourself. We will miss you, my child," said Sister Fely as she hugged me tightly. "I'll miss you too, take care of yourselves. I love you all so much," I said and my tears fell again. "We love you too, my child. It's okay, don't cry anymore," she said and gently wiped my cheek. "Billy, be nice here, don't be stubborn, and always follow what your Sister Vienna says," said Sister Celia and hugged Billy. "Yes sister, I promise," he replied with a smile. "Vienna you will take care of him, we know that you will not abandon him. We have trust in you, take good care of him and also take care of yourself," said Sister Fely. She immediately looked in the direction of Sebastian who was currently standing next to me. "Take good care of them, that's all I want to ask of you," Sister Fely said seriously but smiling. "I promise sister, I'll take good care of them," Sebastian replied but he was obviously nervous. The nuns already knew who he was and he explained to them why he was able to keep the truth a secret. He also asked for forgiveness and the nuns immediately forgave him. "My daughter.." I immediately turned around when I heard mom's voice. I couldn't stop myself from hugging her. "Be careful here, call me if you need anything. Don't leave Billy and don't forget yourself." "Promise, be careful too." I hug her again and this time I feel like I want to go with her, but I really don't want to live in that house. I don't want to be hurt again and I don't want to remember the painful and sad things that happened in my life. "Sebastian, take care of my two children. You will take care of them, I have trust in you and I know that you will not let me down," said Mom, and Sebastian nodded in response. The nuns also got into the car after they said goodbye. "Mom.." She was about to get inside the car but was stopped when I suddenly called her. She also turned to me so I immediately came to her and hugged her tightly. "I love you, Mom..." I said crying. "I love you too, my daughter and I will miss you. Take care okay? I love you." Now, I can say everything is finally settled. My mom, my brother, and I are on good terms. Billy is with me, and so is the person I love. That's all I've ever wanted—nothing more. I'm happy, but I can't help feeling sad whenever I think about what Dad did. I wish I could hear his explanation—why he did it and how he came to that decision. But he's gone, and I'll never know the answers. All I can do now is accept everything that happened and move on. "Sister Vienna.." I immediately turned in his direction, he was sitting on the bed and looking at a picture frame. I'm currently fixing his things and Sebastian is downstairs, helping Sister Riza cook our lunch. Billy will live here and he will finally be part of our family. That's why I'm so grateful to Mom and Uncle Lucas. If it wasn't for their help, I might not have been with him until now. "Why Billy?" I asked as I put his clothes inside the cabinet. "Is Brother Sebastian staying here?" he replied as he turned to me. "No, he will be going home to their house next week. He is only living here temporarily, why did you ask? Do you want to send him home?" I joked making him laughed. I also immediately approached his direction after I arranged his things. "No, it's happier when he's here so I can get to know him better and so you can be with him. I know you miss each other because you haven't seen each other in years. What if he will live here permanently, sister?" I smiled because of what he said. I didn't expect those words to come out of his mouth. It's like I'm not talking to a child but a young man. "He can live here, it's a big house anyway-" "I don't want to live here until your Sister Vienna and I are married.." Billy and I turned in the direction of that voice. It was none other than Sebastian, who was currently leaning against the door. Could he have been there for a while or did he just arrive? "Maybe you're forgetting, you've been living here for two weeks," I said making him laugh. He immediately came in I and Billy's direction and sat down next to me. "Correction love, living temporarily. And I'm not doing anything to you, we didn't sleep next to each other and I have my own room here in your house." Yes, he's telling the truth, but every time I wake up around 5 am, he's right next to me sleeping peacefully. I don't know what time he comes into my room, I'm just surprised that he's next to me. "I'm going home next week, Billy, but I'll be back here to ask your Sister Vienna to marry me," he added, surprising both Billy and I. I hit him on the shoulder because of what he said. "Really brother? Are you and my sister will get married?" Billy unbelievably said. He really believed what this guy said. "Billy, don't believe him-" "Yes, and you will be the ring bearer at our wedding." I didn't react to what he said, I just looked at his face. I know that what he said was not true, but I felt happy because he wanted to marry me. We didn't talk about it, we both know it's too early to get married but the happy thing is that I'm the one he wants to marry and be with forever.
