1096 Words
Sabina was so shocked as she couldn't process what was happening right now. It was quite so fast phase.
The moment she calmed herself, she found out that she had not any grudge or hatred toward her father.
The fact that her mother Moira hid everything from her. Her mother didn't even say any negatives from her father indeed. Perhaps the way Moira hides the truth from her is to protect her father's image of her as well in preparation for the time they will meet each other. And this is the right time.
Sabina forgave her father and her mother as well. She knew the reason behind why her mother, Moira didn't tell her about her father before. She understood.
Moira embraced her daughter, Sabina. She knew how Sabina longed for a father image and Jude's father somehow gave it to Sabina. But blood is still thicker than water. Moira knew how this father and daughter felt right now.
This scene was pretty emotional for them and even Ariane and Paulo felt the reunited father and daughter feelings.
Jude allowed Sabina to have her moments with her biological father Fernan and her brother Luis.
He admired how good-hearted Sabina was. She easily forgave her father and her mother in a split second. He admired his girlfriend, Sabina so much. He is so proud of her.
"Thank you Sab," Fernan, Sabina's biological father was crying. He never knew how beautiful his daughter Sabina was. She was indeed beautiful inside and out.
He was so grateful to Valencia Family who fostered Moira and his daughter Sabina.
He was aware that the Valencia Family treated this mother and daughter so well. He had hired an investigator after he learned that he had a daughter with Moira a month ago.
He asked for forgiveness from Moira as he never knew that she was pregnant with their child when they parted ways before.
If only he knew, he might choose Moira instead of Luis's mother then. He was manipulated by his parents way back then and he had no bones yet to fight for his love with Moira. Moira was still the same as who he met before. A girl who was very kind and with a good heart. No wonder his daughter, Moira got his character from her mother.
Fernan was so grateful to Moira as well. She never stained his image as a father to their daughter, Sabina. She endured being a single parent to their child ever since Sabina was born. Moira earned his highest respect for what he had done.
Sabina on the other hand was overwhelmed with her mixed emotions. She was shocked but then so much grateful and happy as she cried. Jude came after her and gave her a tight embrace. He knew how she feels as he had been in the same situation before when he met his biological father before.
Sabina cried on Jude's chest. Jude caressed Sabina's back to give her comfort.
Ariane and Moira were too emotional as well. Sabina was such a quiet type of girl and looking at her now, they almost broke their hearts as well. They haven't seen Sabina cry. It wasn't tears of pain but Sabina's tears of forgiveness and happiness.
"Hasssh. Everything will be alright now. You have a complete family already," Jude whispered in Sabina's ear.
"Thank you, Jude," Sabina looked at Jude's parents as well and said, "Thank you so much, Tita Paulo and Tita Ariane."
Ariane came over to Sabina and Jude. She hugged Sabina. She treated Sabina as her daughter as well.
"There's always sunshine, after the rain. We love you so much," Ariane said to Sabina.
As Fernan watched the scenario, his heart almost tighten with the emotions coming in . Her daughter Sabina and Moira were so blessed with the Valencia family. He had seen how they loved Sabina and Moira so much.
"I am so thankful to you Mr. and Mrs. Valencia for keeping Moira and my daughter under your roof. I don't know how can I repay your family for that," Fernan sincerely said to Ariane and Paulo.
"We don't ask for anything else Fernan. We treated Moira and Sabina as our own family well," Paulo replied.
"I would like to ask Moira and Sabina to come with me and Luis the day after tomorrow. They will be living with us already," Fernan said to Moira and Sabina.
Moira was a bit rattled. "Why? You can borrow Sabina if she wants to. You don't need to invite me," she was a bit awkward as Luis was also staring at her.
"Luis and I bought a Villa near Villa Valencia. It's quite near. I would like you and Sabina to live with us. We can be a family already Moira. I am sorry for our misunderstanding before. I hope you can forgive me as well," Fernan sincerely asked for Moira's acceptance.
"I already forgave you since I gave birth to Sabina," Moira said with tears.
"Please accept my offer. Please come and live with us," Fernan asked her.
Moira looked at Sabina.
"Let's come and live with them Mommy," Sabina knew that her mother is waiting for her approval.
"Alright, we will come with you," Moira then said.
Luis was just observing. He now knew why his father never forget Moira. Her mother is contrast with Moira's character. Her mother was never loved by his father ever since. His parents were in an arranged marriage case. But his father had been so good to him. He couldn't say anything against his father and he will fulfill all his father's needs.
"Thank you, Ariane and Paulo, for being so good to us," Moira thanked the Valencia couple for adopting them for quite so long.
"We are family," Paulo said to Moira. He treated Moira as his younger sister already.
Ariane and Paulo invited Fernan and Luis to Villa Valencia. They will introduce them formally to Mrs. Valencia, Paulo's mother. Her mother treated Moira and Sabina as her own family and it is rightful that Fernan asked permission to take them home already from her mother.
He knew that her mother won't easily let go of Moira and Sabina but she should understand it.
Paulo and Ariane were both happy for Sabina and Moira. They were quite sad as they will already leave them but they have to be happy for the reunion of Sabina's family.
Jude was so quiet during their journey back home. He can't be with Sabina's side all the time now. He thought so.
