Chapter 17 (2/2)

Tears flow while smiling looking at him,it was not a mistake that I choose to be with him, I could see his love to Christine and me. He is a very good husband and father. I am thankful that G.o.d gave him to be with me while we are still alive.

“I love you Jessica.” He whispered.

“I love you too Chris.” I answered.

I went to the kitchen to make a coffee for him. I returned for a few minutes, I saw him sleeping.

“Hon, wake up and drink this coffee,” I said and gently patting him.

“Hon? Hon?” still no answer.

I was nervous and check his pulse, I can’t feel any pulse from him and he is also not breathing. I saw his serene face and he looks like he was just sleeping. I know he left happy. I cried while I held him.

The miles just keep rolling as the people even wait to say h.e.l.lo,

I’ve heard this life is over rated but I hope that it gets better as we go, Ooooh yeaah!

[Allen’s POV]

“I learned the love that I have with you is ‘love is sacrifice’, sacrifice to see and know that you will be with other man, but I could tell that I made the right choice Jessica. ” I smiled at her.

“Allen..”

“Hmm?”

“I want to sleep,” she said smiling.

I nodded at her, we both lay on the the bed, I am hugging her from behind.

“I miss this feeling.” She whispered.

“Same.”

I kissed her on the cheek and forehead, then we both fell asleep.

“Sweet dreams Jessica.”

“Sweet dreams too Allen.”

I’m here without you baby,

But your still on my lonely mind,

I think about you baby,

and I dream about you all the time.

I’m here without you baby,

but your still with me in my dreams,

and tonight girl, it’s only you and me!

[Christine’s POV]

I returned home with my children to visit my mother, but she was not home so I thought that maybe she went alone to her former home, to my grandparents home.

We rode a car with my children to visit her there, I visited there for just a few times, because we rarely visit there. There was a room that I want to enter but it was locked and mom forbid me to do so.

I park the car in front of the house, I am holding my two children with both of my hands when we entered.

“Ma! Ma! Ma where are you?” I shouted when we entered.

I looked around the first floor of the house but I did not see her, I left my children in the living room and climb to the second floor.

“Just stay there okay? I’ll just look for your grandma upstairs.” I said to my children the went upstairs.

I looked repeatedly through the whole second floor but I could find my mom, the only room that I did not look is the one the she forbids me to go, her room.

I grabbed the door k.n.o.b and turn it, I was surprised when I learned that it was open. This is my first time entering this room.

When I entered, I saw her sleeping in the bed. She is smiling so I also smiled approaching her.

I looked around the room, my mom’s room is nice and her things when she was kid and teen was still here. Maybe she missed all of it that’s why she visited here alone.

I knelt on the edge of the bed where she is facing and gently stroked her hair.

“Ma?  Wake up, your grandchildren is here.”

“Ma? Wake up, let’s go back home.”

“Ma? Wake up, you grandchildren is looking for you.”

“Mama.”

Until I noticed that my mother is gone. I am crying while caresses her hair “Ma wake up!”

“Goodbye ma.”

I hugged her tightly while crying, after a short while my children entered, they had followed me.

“Hi grandma wake up, let’s play.” said my youngest child.

“Your grandma is resting.” I told him.

“How much longer will she rest? Why are you crying?” I just smiled at him and hugged him.

[Allen’s POV]

A few minutes when I woke up, I noticed that she didn’t move and also not breathing. My tears just fell and I hugged her tightly. She’s gone, I know she’s happy where she is right now together with Chris.

“I love you Jessica.” I whispered closed to her ears.

A few moments later I heard someone calling for her, it seems it was Christine her daughter. I went under the bed. She entered the room and woke Jessica, shortly she found out that Jessica is gone, she wept and embraced Jessica. Shortly, her two children also entered, a girl and a boy.

I cried quietly under the bed, my chest seems to erupt from pain, it is hard to wept quietly as you see her body taken away.

Our love was tragic, our love was wrong timing, what if we met at the right time? Where everything is okay and not complicated, maybe we end up together, us married, become a father of your child and be with with you until we grow old until death. But love isn’t love without feeling the pain, the good thing of all this, you love her, she loves you and the two of you living each other. Even if in the end of it, we have only once upon a time and we never really had a happy ending lived a happily ever after. At least we both love each other, and that’s all it matters.

The end.
