Dreams

The full truth

Chase Delgado

*

Seeing Nick awake, i was surprised to the core

When did he wake? Did he hear my conversation with his mother? I wondered

Chase! What were you both talking about? he repeated while staring at me

I smirked

That question should be directed to your mother

What do you......he tried to say but I cut him off

I am glad you are awake brother, I will come check on you later.

I nodded at his mum and took my leave .......

I walked through the long passage to the reception .

I was surprised to see Kira seated at the reception room , her eyes was glued to her phone

I walked towards her and tapped her gently

She looked startled for a moment , and then quickly composed herself

Chase! She smiled

When did you get here? I asked

Not quite long, I was told only family members are allowed to visit Nick. she explained

Oh!

So how is he? Is he better? She asked rushingly

Yes, he is awake now , I informed

Oh my gawd! She stood up and hugged me

I chuckled and released myself from the hug

Do you still want to see him?.... I mean I can talk to doctor

Never mind Chase, he is getting better and that is what really matters

Oh! I smiled

Are you free to chat? We can hang around somewhere. She asked with a smile

I am sorry Kira, I need to call at my girlfriend’s home

She stared at me without uttering any word

Are you alright? I asked

She nodded

Good! I turned to go, but stopped when I remembered I had something to ask her

What was Mr Noah offence?

What do you mean? She asked confusedly

What did he do to you? I continued

Nothing. She shook her head

Then why did you threaten to fire him .I yelled

I waaas just jjokking. She stuttered

Joking?i never knew you to be a clown. I scoffed

Don’t be angry Chase , I can apologise to him if that is what you want . She pleaded

You don’t need to do that because he won’t be working with your family again. I informed

What do you mean by that? he is hopeless without my family . She boasted

I chuckled

Oh Kira! You are really so naive

Are you planning on...... she tried to say but I cut her off

Good bye Kira! I bade and walked out of the hospital...........

I stared blankly at Nick without knowing what to say

Mother! What does he mean by that? he asked weakly

Nothing. I lied trying not to meet his gaze

he tried to sit up and fell back to the bed

Arrrgh! he groaned while holding his head

Don’t stress your self baby. I said trying to hold him but he pushed my hands away

Baby! I called softly

What were you both talking about? he repeated

Can we please talk about it later? I pleaded as tears rolled down my eyes

he scoffed

Who is the child with a fake father? he asked and I froze

Who is the child? he repeated while staring at me

I sniffed

I will tell you when you are strong enough. I promised

No mom , I want to know now . he insisted

Fine! I sighed

*

I was pregnant of you before I got married to Neil

What! What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say I am a bastard? he exclaimed in shock

No baby,I shook my head

What exactly are you saying? You just told me that my dad is not my father. he yelled as tears rolled down his eyes

Baby! I called softly

Don’t call me that. he warned

But I am...... I tried to say but he cut me off

Who is my father?

I stared at him without saying anything

I said who is my father? he repeated

I don’t know Chase ... erm I mean I don’t know where he is

He scoffed

What do you mean you don’t know? Do you go around sleeping with men

hell no! I screamed

Then who is he? Doesn’t he have a name ?

I sighed

his name is Philip and we met when we were in college

*

Philip was a caring man, he loved and I guessed I loved him too

My parent never supported our relationship because he was from a poor family

They pleaded with me to leave him but I couldn’t because he was the only man that made me feel special

We continued with our relationship and I soon got pregnant with you .

he asked me to run away with him but I was scared of leaving my parent , I guess I never really loved him that much

My dad came home one day with a shocking news about an arranged marriage with his friend’s son

I cried and pleaded with him that I was no interested but he insisted I should know the boy first

I agreed

*

I liked Neil the first time I saw him but he was just too proud

he told me bluntly that he is in love with someone else but I still choose to stay because of ... the money

Yes, the money.he was so wealthy and I guess I was too greedy

*

The date of the marriage was fixed and when your father came looking for me , I lied to him that I lost the pregnancy

he begged me remain with him but my mind was already made up..

I chose money over love ...

*

It was after the marriage that I found out the woman Neil loves was a maid, she was no other person than Chase mother

Damn! I heard Nick cursed

it turned out that his parent never supported his relationship with her because she was a dumb maid .............

*

Nick! Please forgive your greedy mother. I pleaded

he stared on without saying anything

Baby! I called and he fumed

Don’t ever call me that! he warned staring at me , his gaze was deadly

I sniffed

But I am still your mother

Mother? You are nothing but a bitch

Nick! I called in surprise

Get out from my sight . he yelled

*

*

Nick Delgado

*

I watched my mother , no the b***h run out from the room

how can she be so selfish?

I ran my finger through my hair as I tried to think but couldn’t

Damn! I was getting crazy

What would happen to me now? Where would I start from?

My whole life is a mess and it is all because of that stupid concert , no it is all because of Chase......
