Fifty

Mother and Father took a taxi with Francis and Steven. While Shaira and I were both left inside the house. I gave her my phone and I just removed the simcard.
"I'll give you this phone of mine, Shaira. Just buy a simcard so you can call me about the findings on our father's illness and I already saved my number there you can cheeck later." I said to her.
"What about you? You're not going to use anything?" she said to me.
"I have one more extra phone at home. That's all I'll use. And this is the money to spend on medicine." I told her once handing her the money.
She accepted it and we left the house together. I saw a motorcycle next to the taxi.
And I noticed they were already inside the motorcycle.
"We're just going to ride here, Gianna, so you don't stay up too late." my father said with sadness in his eyes.
And I saw the driver looking at me. I smiled at him back.
"You're weird. Don't be sad. I also have to go home now because I didn't say goodbye to them and I'm sure they are looking for me. I promise when you're well I'll take you to the city." I said to my dad.
"It's too sad when we lose you again. The pain of feeling that way." said my daddy.
"Dad, you're so emotional. It's only a few hours' drive from the city to here. Sister Gianna can come back whenever she wants." said Sheena rolling her eyes.
I approached my mom and I kissed her and then my dad.
"Aunt Gianna, when you come back, buy me a chicken joy. Please," said Steven.
"Of course." I answered and squeezed his cheek.
The motorcycle drove away from the house but they're stare wasn't left to me. I waved at them and got inside the taxi. And also moved away from camp Saavedra. It was already dark around as if it was still raining. I suddenly felt scared.
"It's not dangerous to travel now, sir here. The darkness around." I asked the driver.
"I don't know either. Ma'am but your dad said so far it's not." driver answers.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Maybe your wife is already looking for you? Where do you live?" I asked again.
"I've already called them, ma'am, I'll be home late today and my house is also in the city so I don't have to travel far." driver answers. I nodded in response.
I was drunk when Bianca called because she said she couldn't contact Gianna at eight o'clock in the evening but she hadn't come home yet. So I called him a few times earlier but I couldn't contact him either. I am here today at Darius' house as he and Bianca face each other without hesitation.
"I can't forgive myself when something really happens to that woman! She's so stubborn." said Bianca in a worried voice.
I wanted to ask Bianca about what Natasha told me was her daughter Gianna but I restrained myself. Because I can't be assured that I won't really know the truth.
"Where did she go?" Darius asked his wife.
"She's going to the city but hasn't come home yet." Bianca replied.
"Didn't you call your kids, maybe Gianna was just there?" said Darius to me.
"Gianna didn't go to Winter's house." my answer.
Darius sighed.
Then the three of us looked at the front door when it opened and Gianna entered without a smile. She didn't even look at me.
"Where have you been, Gianna? You know I'm worried about you too much. But you just don't seem to care about me." said Bianca.
Aurora didn't answer but looked at Darius and nodded as she went straight into her room. Bianca would have followed but Darius stopped her.
I felt bad for my aunt too much because she couldn’t tell me my parents were alive. So I would keep quiet so I wouldn't confront her. And I know Marcus was worried about me but I wasn’t in the right mood to notice him. Too much happened throughout my day so I wanted to go to bed early. I got dressed first because I had been itching before. I am thankful to the driver because he took me home safe so I gave him a big fare which he was very pleased with. It's embarrassing because he hasn't been able to drive all day and got many passengers because of me.
And I know my aunt has a lot of questions but I don't want to talk because until now I am confused by what happened. Why was she able not to take me back to my parents.
I lay down on the bed after I got dressed. I went home to Timothy house after I left Darius' house I didn't want to go home because Natasha was still there. But I was confused by a call I received. I looked at my phone and Lance number appeared on the screen. I answered it.
"Hello, Lance What's wrong? It's late but you still called." I said.
"Marcus, Laila is in the hospital. She's about to give birth and I was in a rattle because she was already crying in great pain." said Lance in a worried voice.
With so much going on, I forgot that Laila's stomach was nine months old and this is now my friend Lance because even up to here I have heard her nervousness.
"It's normal for the pain to come out, of course your wife will give birth. So just relax." I said.
"I can't relax, Marcus, I'm scared."
"It's really scary but just pray that they're both safe." I said.
"No one even a father does not feel afraid when their future child comes out. So be brave." I said.
"Even I used to feel the same way before. Your fear will also pass, especially when you can see your child. "I said.
"Aren't you coming here? We're closer than Thompson so I'm more comfortable calling you at this time of night." said Lance.
"I'm drunk and I need to sleep." I said.
"Just this once, Leon, come with me." he begs me.
"I'm especially restless and I'm alone here waiting."
"Where are your mother -in -law?" I will ask.
"Laila and I live in my house now so they didn't know Sahara was going to give birth."
I sighed.
"The next time don't get your wife pregnant, especially when she's giving birth, then I'll be involved!" I shouted, I hung up the phone at the same time.
I washed first and got dressed to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, I would have turned off my phone so that Lance could not call. I was out of the house and took the car to the hospital. When I entered the hospital, I immediately saw Lance walking around. I approached him.
"Has the baby come out yet?" I asked him.
"Not yet, the doctor said Sahara can't pushed so that the baby come out." Lance replied while holding on to his forehead.
"What are they waiting for? They must undergo a cesarean section so that the child will not be harmed." I said.
Then the doctor came out.
"Has the child come out yet?" I will ask.
"She felt hard to make the baby came out. It's really normal as long as it's the first baby and then your wife has lost a lot of strength." said the doctor and looked at Lance and his baby and his wife." I said.
"That's what we can do." said the doctor then went back inside the operating room. And when I look at Lance he is problematic.
"I can't be reassured when Laila hasn't given birth, never in my wildest dream have I been scared like this." said Lance.
"That's really how life is, you want to have a child so you endure the fear." I said.
The door opened and the nurse came out.
"Sir, the child's clothes." said the nurse to Lance and suddenly just averted his face and handed the bag next to him to the nurse.
"The baby came out before the cesarean section was done, it's good that she was able to get the baby out. Congratulations, sir. Your child is a boy." said the nurse to Lance and went back inside the operating room.
"You heard that, I have a child!" Lance yelled because of happiness.
"Yeah, and you're so happy right now." I told him.
"'Thank you for accompanying me through my difficult situation and being happiest at the same time." he says.
"You're welcome. I'm leaving. I'll only visit your house when you're out of the hospital." I said. Lance nodded in response and I walked out of the hospital.
I’m in the bedroom now and I can’t sleep I’m thinking about Gianna and what happened.
On the other day.
I woke up early because I planned to visit Harley and Pia. I was released from the hospital but they did not visit me. And suddenly my head hurt like I wanted to vomit. As far as I know, I didn't eat anything else last night. So I was about to get up when I suddenly fell down as if my head was spinning.

I grabbed the baluster of my bed and sat on the bed. I lay down again and closed my eyes. It's good that I'm feeling better. So I went straight to the bathroom and washed my face. It's like I don't want to take a bath because I'm feeling cold. I got dressed and left my room. I came across nothing in the living room and in the garden near the pool except for two helpers picking up dry leaves that had fallen into the pool water. I ignored them and proceeded to exit the mansion. I took a taxi and drove to Winter's house.
I woke up with something heavy on my body. I opened my eyes and was surprised at what I saw. Natasha was naked hugging me. I was suddenly scared of the way we were because when I looked at my body I didn't have any clothes on.

I didn't know that Natasha had entered my room because I didn't have anyone at home when I came home from the hospital last night. I didn't go back to Timothy house because I didn't want to disturb them anymore so I went straight home last night so this is the result now. I don’t remember last night that I had someone with me in my bed. I got up and went straight out of my room and entered the guest room. My brain refuses to accept. Because based on how Natasha and I looked something happened to the two of us but I was drunk and I didn’t remember anything.
In my fear I left the house and went to Lance house.
When I arrived at Winter's house, I entered because the gate of his house was open. When I opened the door I found Winter sitting alone in the living room.
"Gianna, you visit me." Winter said.
"Yeah. I got bored at home early so I thought I'd visit you." my answer.
"How's your wound?"
"It's okay not to be too painful." I said, simultaneously sitting on the couch.
"Where's Pia?"
"She's not here. She's at her boyfriend's house. I'm just waiting for her to get married and leave here at home." laughed Winter.
"When will you get married?" I asked her.
"I don't know. It's ugly to hear that I'm the one who asked Dion a permission to marry me. I'll just wait until he's the one to invite me." Winter replied. I laughed.
"Yeah. Just wait. What if you reach forty waiting for him. What are you going to do?" I asked Winter.
"I don't know. I'll just wait for him until I'm bored."
Winter looked at me intently as if she wanted to tell me something.
"Do you want to tell me Winter?" I asked her.
"Nothing but I notice you're pale. Are you sick?"
"Nothing but I feel bad."
"Why what are you feeling?" she asked me again.

'My head hurt but it also disappeared right away."

"Are you sure? You didn't rest, you just got out of the hospital yesterday but you left the house and go here with me."

"I'm bored at home, I want to smell some fresh air."

"Harley, I slept for five months so my back hurts." I said.

"Crazy, you were unconscious that time so you didn't feel any pain. Maybe you're back pain come out right now that's why so you're pale." said Winter.

"But the one who shot you has not been found."

"It's hiding right now. Because the law is looking for him."
"I know that he's a man because my instinct said so." I told her.
Winter nodded in response.
"I can't quite imagine what's your reactions that time when someone after your life." Harley said.
"Of course, I'm scared to death. I'm praying while running but misfortune hit me hard since I'm being shoot." I said.
"Did you know that daddy was so scared when you were shot that he rushed to Aunt Maureen, because he was the only one who made threats to you." said Winter
"I know because he's the only one who's mad at me except he's gone." my answer.

"Just in case he's the one to blame for shooting you all I can say is he's not in the right frame of mind."

"Yes, maybe he has a brain disease when he doesn't know. Maybe he knows but he doesn't want to accept. And it's more triggered by your daddy not being able to love him so it's all mixed up in his brain so he thought of killing me." I said.
"And I'm just wondering how much he paid for that hit man in exchange for my life." I said.
Winter frowned.
"She was impossible. It's scary to kill an animal. But for her it's easy to kill? It's good that she slept soundly at night while you're fighting death to survive." said Winter.
"Gianna, I'm sorry but my mom told me something that surprised us all and even my father." starting with Winter.
Earlier I noticed that he was always looking at me as if he wanted to say something.
"What is it, Harley. You look tense." I said.
"She said that you are her child in her first love. That's why daddy avoids you because of mommy's revelation.
That's why Marcus suddenly changed his attitude towards me. He believed in nonsense.
I looked Winter in the eyes.
"We're not siblings, Winter, especially since I'm not your mother. I didn't say I don't want you to be a sister, you and Luca and Timothy but that's the truth. I discovered everything yesterday because I talked to an acquaintance of my family then. I was adopted of your mommy back then because of an incident. It's a long story so it will take us a few days before it ends. " I said while smiling.
I noticed that Winter seems to be breathing loosely.
"In the beginning there was something wrong with our meeting. Being adopted by her for a while she would recognize me. But she was staring at me that time blankly so it means I'm not important to her." I said.
Winter's face suddenly saddened.
