Chapter 10 (1/2)
”How can this be? How can this be? My lively Lisa...Lisa? Can you hear me?”Vanessa took a chair to sit on beside Lisa and took her left hand that was slightly cold.
”Lisa, mummy is here. Lisa, my beautiful girl, open your eyes now. Mummy is here. Sorry for not coming early. Mummy is sorry. Lisa wake up” Vanessa said in a whisper and began crying while rubbing Lisa's hand hoping to warm her up.
”My dear Lisa,don't scare mum. Open your eyes and we'll go eat anything you want. We'll buy everything in the world that you like. Lisa..Lisa open your eyes”Vanessa cried.
Evelyn and Regina who had just reached the door started knocking on the door but Vanessa did not open.
She kept kissing Lisa's small hands and rubbing them.
”Lisa..mum is at a loss on what to do. Lisa..”
”Vany, open the door now” Evelyn yelled from outside but Vanessa did not reply.
All she cared about now was Lisa.
”Lisa...please open your eyes” she whispered again.
Slowly,Lisa's fingers trembled and the cold in her body vanished allowing the trapped heat to return.
Her pale skin was regaining color again and her lips were rosy.
Vanessa was surprised and also happy.
”Baby, i know you can do it. Baby Lisa” she called out softly to the unconscious Lisa whose eyelids had also begun to tremble.
Her words seemed to do magic as Lisa managed to open her eyes in two minutes.
”Lisa” Vanessa called out and kissed Lisa's forehead.
”Lisa..do you know how worried i was?”
”You said you are my mama,” Lisa said in a parched voice.
”Yes, i am your mama,” Vanessa said with a nod.
She doesn't even know why she referred to herself as Lisa's mama but so long as it'll make Lisa leave,she'll agree for now.
She'd agree to any request from her little princess. She'd also go to any length to fulfill them.
”My beautiful Lisa.My dear Lisa. Don't scare me like this next time okay?”Vanessa said as she hugged Lisa.
Lisa nodded and smiled.
”Err...yes.I will be your mama.”Vanessa said with a nod.
A smile had finally found its way to her lips.
”Mama?”Lisa called out to her excitedly.
”My beautiful Lisa. What is your request?”Vanessa said with a smile as she petted Lisa.
”Lisa loves Mama”
