Water and Desert

62- Ending

Two years passed to that incident. Alejandro died in car crash. Funny but karma is real. How he used a car crash as an excuse for killing several people including Camila's parents and then he himself became victim of same death. As soon as Shawn brought Camila back to Toronto, the things started getting harder for her as she had to face so much judiciary.

Apparently Alejandro killed Camila's father because he came to know about his illegal deeds and wanted to separate his business from him but Alejandro wanted him to be his partner in crime. This dispute made him to threaten Camila's dad as he rejected his offer and opted to kill him so his secret wouldn't reveal.

The reason for him keeping Camila alive was very obvious as she was the sole heiress of the whole property of her father and after her death, it was going to transfer to a charity fund. The only way of transferring property to a person was through her children. After her death, her children were the rightful owner of the property. That's why he wanted to marry her with a son of his rich friend. He could'nt marry her with his son cuz Nicholas wasn't his own blood and that truth was revealed over Nick after his death. He came to know about his adaption and regretted every dirty deed he did for his dad and how he was being cheated his whole life. He was in police custody but what his father did with him was his biggest punishment to bare.

Finally the lucky kid, the heir of his mother's property borned. Harris Raul Mendes came in the world with the two most beautiful dark eyes like his mother and fluffy curls just like his father. Though Shawn wanted a girl, he was more than happy to have a boy who could now go biking with him.

"No way!" Sitting in a passenger seat, Camila clearly disagreed with Shawn. "My son isn't going to drive a motorcycle..."

"My son would drive everything in this world...let me tell you I'll teach him even how to fly an aeroplane."

"Aeroplane is fine, he can be a pilot but a biker..no way..."

"What is your problem with bikers?"

"I just don't like em." She told playing with the little hands of Harris sitting in her lap.

"Well you like me and I'm a biker too."

"That's the reason actually....I remember riding on a bike with you was the most dangerous experience of my life...."

"Really?" He chuckled.

"Look you said you wanna teach him boxing, I said fine even though I can hardly deal with your furiousness but I can't let him be in another thing you do..he can do some mommy things as well."

"You mean dancing? Are you crazy? The son of Shawn Peter Raul Mendes can't be a dancer."

"Ofcourse I know how bad of a dancer you are ...like father like son...and I can do many other things besides dancing."

" He would be tough like his father. I don't want him weak, he should be strong enough to go along with this society."

"Yeah I know..you won't backoff."

"Nope!" He stated halting his car. "We are there." Coming out of the car, he opened the door for Camila to give her a hand. She was now able to walk but still needed a little support for it. Her physiotherapist was positive that she'd soon be able to walk without any support.

"You are ready?" Camila asked.

Shawn exhaled a huge breath. "Yeah!"

And there they pressed the bell of the house they were searching for. Samantha helped him reaching his parents.

"Yes?" An agerd but not too old woman opened the door and as her eyes went on Shawn, she stood in trance.

"Mu-" He could'nt even make the word.

"Shawn!" How won't she recognize her son, her life, for whom she still cries in solitude. "My son!" Her eyes were teary and Shawn wasn't better as he hugged her tightly.

"My God you became so tall..." She patted his back in her embrace. "Just like your dad.." pulling away she lovingly caressed his cheek.

Camila was watching them from a little distance with her own eyes shedding tears.

"Come in..."

"Wait" Shawn held her back. "Meet my family." He grabbed Camila by her waist. "My wife Camila and my son Harris."

"Gosh! I am so happy for you...come in you guys...please" She opened the door wide for them.

"Aaliyah! AaliyAh!" She yelled as she lead them to drawing room.

"Coming!" She yelled back from the kitchen.

"Look who came." His mother happily  introduced Shawn to Aaliyah. "You brother Shawn..and Look he has a beautiful wife and such a cute little baby.." Her happiness was clear from her face.

"Oh my god! You are Shawn? My mother's son?" Aaliyah was shocked.

"Your brother Liyah!" She scolded her.

"Yeah mum I know but it will take me a time to accept this reality...mama Your son is actually here.." She said sitting at the arm of the sofa, her mother was seated.

"Aah I'm not dreaming Liyah?" She wanted an assurance.

"Ofcourse not!"

"I'm a grandma now..look at him.." She pinched the cute cheeks of his son, still in disbelief. "Now go bring something to eat for your brother."

"I'm really getting used to having a brother now.." She laughed to which Shawn awkwardly smiled.

"I remember Shawn really liked that footballer when he was small..what was his name...um.. Harrison?" His mother reminded him.

"Yeah!" He said grinning.

"I knew since then he'd name his son something like that.." She was telling Camila.

Aaliyah came from a kitchen bringing coffee and snacks with her.

"You remember?" Shawn asked.

"I do my son...I remember each and everything."

"Mum!" He called taking cup of coffee from Aaliyah. "Where's my step dad? Does he treat you well?"

"Don't worry Shawn. After Aaliyah's birth, he has changed so much. I wanted to find you Shawn but I couldn't...forgive me.." She apologised feeling somewhat guilty.

"Its fine...I think everything happens for good." He said smiling at Camila.

"Anyways...you tell me..how you met this pretty girl?" She asked about Camila.

"She's from Miami actually and we met there.." He told them.

"Really?" Aaliyah sat with Camila playing with Harris and listened the whole story of him and Camila with interest.
