Tales Of Love

Julian Brabra felt like his breath would choke. Tate Owen shouldn’t have gone so far. Why did he do this to the woman who gave him a Son? He’s so inhuman.

As for him, Julian Brabra thought of himself. He would put the pieces of his broken heart together and pray that wherever Aurora is, she would be kind enough to forgive him.

Julian Brabra didn’t return home that day he slept in the office. Of course he knew that his house was Surrounded and none could go in nor come out.

That evening, Doctor Felix called his cousin Tate Owen. He saw the news and felt highly displeased with the approach Tate Owen took.

He thought he would handle the affairs of claiming his Son back in a mature and private manner but didn’t know he had over-estimated his level of IQ.

“Hello” Tate Owen said as soon as the call got connected. He knew his cousin was going to call him and probably scold him for his actions.

Felix was a morally upright person and knew how much he would detest his actions.

“What have you done Tate Owen?” was Felix’s first statement. When Tate Owen didn’t say a word he continued, venting his displeasure:

“How could you Tate Owen? How can you morally murder someone you claim you once loved? Love is protecting that dear person you have or once had without even the person’s knowledge.

Where is that feeling of emotion that you once had for that person? How can you go this far to destroy the image of your baby’s mama? What kind of life did you want your Son to have in the future, when the story of his mother’s unfaithfulness is on the lips of every citizen?

How do you want him to have an easy life among his mates and friends? You disappoint me greatly Tate Owen”. There was a long silence that only their heartbeats could be heard.

“As long as Max is alive, he’s Anna’s son as much as he’s your son. If that boy grows older, do you think he will forgive you for doing this to his mother? Will he accept you as his father? Did you consider all these before taking your thoughtless actions? I am ashamed to have been related to you” Felix hung up without waiting to receive a reply.

Felix’s words threw Tate Owen’s heart in a state of topsy-turvy. He took drastic action to humiliate Anna and her father but never thought of the effect it would have on his Son.

This will definitely affect his future and makes him unwanted among his peers or he’ll constantly be ridiculed when he stands in public. What will his relationship with Max be like, can they ever have a smooth relationship?

That night, before Aurora went to bed, she stayed by her baby’s bed and read them a bedtime story. But rather than sleeping, Samantha started asking questions “mummy, when will you take us out to meet our daddy?”

Samantha will never cease from asking her about her father. After they met on that fateful day in her office, she kept asking her of him.

“Why do you need him? Are you not happy with me, grandma and grandpa, your uncles, aunties and everyone else in this house? You have your family around you Samantha, why ask when I’ll take you out to see him?” Aurora asked her daughter.

“My friend at the kindergarten tells me how her daddy takes her out for ice-cream and buys a lot of toys for her” Samantha replied with a hint of earnestness in her voice.

“If you want me to take you out for Ice-cream and get more toys for you, then I promise to do that this weekend” Aurora replied her eagerness.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Samantha was right, despite having uncles and aunties around, none can fill the place of a father, No matter how loving they might have been.

Samantha smiled, and hugged her mummy’s neck, raising herself from the baby crib.

“Tell me how you’ve been enjoying kindergarten?” Aurora asked, turning her gaze on Sam. Sam and Samantha share a large bedroom. Aurora’s grandmother insisted they stay together until they reach five years.

Aurora was always eager to hear Sam talk. Unlike his twin sister, he hardly talks except when asked a question or when he deems necessary to.

“Kindergarten would have been very nice if Samantha hadn’t turned herself into a naughty girl. Miss Wilson said she was going to talk……” Sam was explaining to his mother when Samantha interrupted him hastily “mummy, Sam is bullying me”.

Aurora felt she was going to have a splitting headache.

How could what Sam said be referred to as bullying? This Samantha of a girl is going beyond what she could tolerate.

“Liar! You run around and would not listen to Miss Wilson instructions” Sam blurted out. “You are a bully, refusing to say sorry when Miss Wilson threatened to call mummy” Samantha retorted back.

Aurora became speechless. They were only three years old and yet their IQ was higher than that of five years old. She listened quietly and watched how the usually cold Sam was aroused by his sister into a hot argument.

Eventually, she stopped them “Shhh…that’s enough for the both of you. Samantha you have to behave yourself at home and at school. I’ll make a call across to Miss Wilson and apologize to her. Sam, you have to learn how to tolerate your sister”

The two kids nod their heads in affirmation. The Nanny then walked in to see if they were sleeping already but found them wide awake. Aurora was glad when she saw her and gave her the book containing the bedtime story.

She kissed their fore-heads and made her way toward the door only to hear Samantha “mummy didn’t you say you’ll take me out for ice-cream?”
