Chapter 96

• He hugged Andrew and said, “when I woke up in coma two years ago , I thought you and your mom will never forgive me for what happened to our family. I hoped to be with you but I thought you will get heart in the process besides I did not know you so it was difficult. I never knew that Sandra was your daughter because she was volunteering at the hospital at that time. Which I doughty now.” He smiled abit and continued to say, “after I was fine and I take anything, my granddaughter introduced herself to me and told me that my wife was killed. I was disheartened and I went into depression but what made me over come it was that one day I will hear you call me dad. And that day has finally came but what made it special is that my wife is alive to witness this moment and we are together as a family”. Everyone was emotional even Sandra who really shows her emotions could not help but shed some tears. Matilda saw all this and could not help but think about her parents she left not because she did not love them but because she wanted them to be safe. She was young and could not protect them but not she’s strong and could protect them. She thought was this the right time for her to go back to C city, tears rolled down her eyes. Sandra saw this I knew what she was thinking. She vowed to make who ever made her mother shed tears pay a thousand times. She changed the topic not wanting to see her cry. She said, “dad, are you not going to introduce me and my mom officially. Now that you have got your parents back we are no longer your number topic”. Hearing her silly remarks, her grandparents and her parents laughed. Her dad said, “even though I would love to exchange you being my number one topic, your mom will make me sleep on the floor for the rest of my life and I’m not willing to go through that”. Everyone laughed at his reply even her mother who said, “what a nice way to introduce me to my in-laws. You want them to think that I was mistreating their son all these years”. They all laughed at her comment. When Sandra saw her mum smiling and participating in the conversation, she knew that she was trying not be sad but deep down you can feel her sadness. She sent a text to her surbonates and told him to hurry up the process she’s the will to see her mother suffering. Andrew said seriously, “mom, dad this is my wife Matilda Gomez and this is our beautiful and kind child Sandra smith. She’s now married to Levy Anthony. You will be seeing him he’s a good man together with his family.” Both the old people greeted Sandra and her mother. They were at the party and they saw and hard what happened to them. They were happy that despite everything Matilda went through he was stack by their son’s side and that made them respect her even more. Old woman smith who has now taken her name back hugged Matilda and thanked her for loving her son with all his and being their for him despite facing all the challenge. She was happy for how she has raised her granddaughter who is courageous and strong. She said, “can you please call me mom, when I was pregnant with my son I always wanted a girl but God blessed me with a boy. I’m happy to have him and at least I have you as a daughter and my little angel.”, she said little angel looking at Sandra. Sandra could not stop her self from rolling her eyes, her little angel. Haa she was far from that at least If she was compared to a devil or a monster it was okay but she could not blame them. They have only seen her in her good mood. Old man also hugged Sandra and her mom and welcomed them officially. He has known Sandra ever since he walk up from coma two years ago and she has been nothing but the best granddaughter anyone could ask for. He knows she’s not simple as she looks but so what she’s his granddaughter and that’s what matters.
• After their small love affection, Andrew said, “I want you and mom to be staying with us. This house needs to be renovated and remove everything that belongs to those murders. What do you say”. “we know you may want your own free space especially now that you have just got back together but our house is very big you will have a bigger space besides you will be spending more time with us building our relationship isn’t that good”. Matilda said before her in-law could reply. Of with the way Matilda brought it out, they were very eager to spend sometime with them. Renovation may take around some months to be completed. So they agreed in union, “yes we would like to spend more time with you and our granddaughter.”. everything was fine but spending time with their granddaughter maybe difficult with her husband’s obsessions towards her it was hard to tell if he will allow that. But they could not break their little fantasy, so they agreed.
• Sandra and her parents excused themselves to give the old people some privacy. They knew they had a lot to talk about. After they left, grandpa smith folded his hands and look down, he said, “I’m so sorry you and our son have gone through a lot because of me. I have taken away your chances of raising our child and seeing our granddaughter grow up. I know I will never make up for the lost time but I will spend my life asking for forgiveness.” Grandma Smith looked at her husband who she has always thought was dead. She did not know the emotions she was feeling. All these years she never knew God will give her a second chance to see her family again. She was so happy. How could she be angry with him when all these years she has been praying and hoping to see him again.
