Maybe This Time

Chapter 31

Y/N's POV

"what? I beg your pardon?

I should be mad, right? But im not. I mean shes the caused why my family split in half. Why do I don't feel to be mad at her? I don't feel any hatred towards her.

"I'm Ellie. The fruit of the sin"

I pause for a while, I just woke up from death and now I met my half-sister? Damn man, can we calm down?

"Why are you here?"

She gulp, she's shaking at nervous. As she should be. I look at my sister who's now angry and at my mom who's not showing any emotions. Everyone is silent. The silence in the room is too loud.

"Just- i- to give this"

She handed me a letter. She's really trembling. I take the envelope and hold it.

"Other than that?"

"I- I always have a dream to meet my big sister-" she starts. I stare at her, examining her body language and how her eyes tell me her story. I let her speak.

"I- always have this dream- to meet you- he always talks about you- on how he's so proud that you reached your dream without his help- on how you keep going after he left you because of my mother- he's mouth always says your name- "

"He's watching you from afar- he didn't dare to go back to since he knew you're not welcoming him- he's sorry what he did- her regret it-"

"And im sorry- because of me your father left you- if I didn't live maybe you have a better life- sorry for taking your life- sorry for what my mother did- sorry for everything"

A single tear left my eye. Since my father left, my mom is doing the two jobs in our house; the provider and the mother. I take some of her jobs and started to work at a very young age to help here since I have a little sister to take care of.

The day he left us is the day of my birthday. We're celebrating, mom cooks the food while dad is ready for the drill since I love barbecue. While I and Sarah are in the living room watching.

The dinner was so peaceful until someone rang the door. We didn't expect to have guests since I want a family dinner and I don't like big parties.

It's a woman. A tall, scary, young woman. I thought she was a friend of mom but im wrong. She made mom a friend to get my dad. To be her possession and take him away from us.

They hiding zucchini while we're away.

"Dad?" I called him.

I walk to the hallway to get him. He's looking at the door and I see the woman. They talking and I can't hear them but I see dad pushing her away.

"Get out here, Mariz." I heard dad. I look o confused about what's going on. Until mom came in the frame.

"What are you doing here, Mariz?" Mom asked. I look back to the kitchen and see my little sister eating her food and I sigh in relief that she's occupied.

"I'm here to get your husband"

"Husband?" I question myself. Does she mean my dad? Why she's getting my dad?

"And what makes you think I will give him to you?" Mom asked, she's angry. She's really scary when she's angry. I only see her once angry when dad broke her favorite vase.

"Because im pregnant and he's the father," the woman said. I just stood there like a mom who's frozen in her spot from her revelation.

"Your crazy, Mariz. Get out!" Dad said.
