Was It Him?

Chapter: 5

Days and months passed..
I spent few typical days. I haven't contact with Ben since the last time I saw him. He is like an angele, appeared from nowhere then suddnly disappeared. I didn't took his phone number because I thought I would just easily see him again.

"oh Jones is calling" I said as I heard my phone rings
"Jacqueline? " some girl's voice answered the phone instead of Jones.
"Yeah?"
"I have something to tell you, Jones got in a car accident, he is now in the hospital. We sill don't know if he would make it or not" She cries as she says it. But what did she meant by 'we', I didn't know he is married he never told me.

I asked the girl who was speaking to me to tell me which hospital so I can visit him. I started to get ready as I hang up the phone.

I own a really old car that can hardly move. I tried to play it but specially in this morning it won't work. So I just took a taxi instead.

As I reached the hospital, I saw an old pretty woman with two twin girls. They all looked sad,and depressed. Their eyes were red and filled with tears. As they saw me, both of the twins run towards me and hugged me tightly.

When I looked into their eyes I remembered them. They always come to the restaurant and play with me. Like my little sisters. No wonder they came and hugged me. But I still wonder why I haven't seen their mother before? Why Jones didn't told me about this? He is like a closed book, he doesn't tell people about his personal life.

"He is in a really bad health right now, but we are doing our best" the nurse says "you can see him now if you want "
The mother pushes her two twins towards the door, and wait outside.
"Aren't you going to see him?"I asked her
"No, and by the way I called you because of another reason " she stays quite for awhile as I had that really worried look in my face " me and Jones got married two years ago but it didn't work out well, he have been always busy with the restaurant and never cared for me. He only loves his daughters. He likes to play with them so often. So we divorced one year after our marriage but we never told our childrens. I have always loved Jones but he seems like he never did. After we divorced I took care of the kids and bring them once in awhile to the restaurant to see their dad. My kids seems like they really like you, and I'm already a tired women I can't do this anymore. I found your phone number in Jones's phone so I called you. I want you to take the kids, and take care of them for Jones " I didn't say a word after that as I hear the nurse calls me I pretend that I have to go so I can run away. She grabs my shirt before I go and hand me a letter " give it to Jones please " She says

"Hey Jacqueline " he greeted me as I walked in."Hey Jones, how are you doin?"

"better now " he smiles "You know Jacqueline, you are like a daughter to me. I care a lot about you hope you know that" his words got the best of me. I have always treated Jones as my father since I have always needed one.

"Aww yes I know Jones, you're like a father to me too " I said with a smile "here you go, it's from your wife" I wink as I say that .

Now I left his ex wife hanging there alone, I just don't know what should I do. I guess I should just take the kids. They seem really nice and I like kids so I don't mind.

I walk back to the hospital's hall as I see her sitting on the chair while crying. I hugged her as I set next to her and told her that I'm going to take care of her kids. She looked so happy that I agreed and tried to wipe her tears off her cheeks. She hugs me and thanks me. She asked me to come to her house tomorrow morning to pick up her kids clothes and things.

I kind of felt happy to make someone's feel better. She asks me to take the kids with me now because she wants to go back home.
"Aren't you going to see Jones first? " I asked curiously
"No he won't be happy if he saw me" she makes that disappointed smile as she waves goodbye to me.

I still feel like there's something she did that Jones disliked. Jones is a really nice man and he won't divorce with his wife just like that or he won't dislike to see her even though she is the one who take care of his childrens.

I looked at the doors window as I see them two girl playing with Jones they all looked so happy. I smiled when I saw them. Suddenly Jones realizes that I was looking at them and he mouthed to me " thank you" I smiled as he does that.

He looked happy to know that I'm going to take care of his childrens. Since I work for him everyday at the restaurant of course he would get the chance to see his childrens more often.

He asked me to come into his room.

"Hey girls!" I said
"Mira and Maria meet your eldest sister, she is really kind and she would take care of you from now on"
"Yeayyy" Maria and Mira screams loudly and hugged me.

Maybe taking care of those cuties would make me busy not to think about those bad memories.

"Let's go and eat lunch little cuties, let your dad take a rest now"

"Okay" Mira says " can I call you lina?" I giggled and said "Why would you call me Lina?" I bent my back down a bit to hear what she would reply.

"Because it's my mum's name" she said

"Oh.. okay sure call me anything you want " I said as I smiled " okay let's go, bye Jones "

"Bye dad!!"

"Jacqueline come here" Jones said "take those keys and use my care instead "

"Okay " I smiled at him "get better soon "

We ride on the car and started it. "Guyss do you like pizza!" I exclaimed.

"Yesss " Mira and Maria said,almost shouting.

"Then we are eating pizza for lunch!! "

"Hooray! " I laughed at their cheering.

************

We finished our lunch and then I took them to the park. Luckily it's weekend no school for them.

We had a good time together. They are too sweet and cute. The both had blonde hair and blue eyes.

After the park we went back to my apartment and I let them sleep beside me on my bed.

They slept right away because they were exhausted because of playing a lot and because of the piano play next door.

I smiled and mouthed "Thank you" as I slept.
