In The Name Of Family

Ch 9- Identity

Author

Laughter echoed in the air as families held hands, playing in the park as if the world had stopped for them, but there sat someone on those benches thinking as if at least once he had a piece of what they had. Things took a different turn after Hazel suffered a panic attack and did not want anyone to approach her at the moment, except Andrea who is trying to calm her down and explain everything.

Anhriel heart aches at the thought that the woman who once gave him the heart, today is frightened by his touch and could not forget the heated look she gave him as if his world had been destroyed.

But still, his mind could accept this because he knew that the one acting was her fear and instinct, but his heart on the other hand was hurt and frightened of what awaited him.

Playing with his fingers, he kept his eyes fixed on a swing where a little girl was probably about the same age as his little Bella was swinging and he could not help but think of the pain his children would feel if their mother did not recognize them or worse still did not accept them.

He once remembered his daughter asking him why the god was taking the mother away from the children and could not find the right words to alleviate his daughter's pain but the only thing he managed to do was embrace her in a hug.
To Jay it might have seemed simpler as he was more or less aware of the situation, but he was more attached to his mother and blamed himself somewhat for her death.

Thinking of a thousand ways things could go, there he continued to wander, losing his sense of time as the world around him continued coming around so fast.

On the other side Evelin and Andrea were sitting at the table of a bar as she looked lost by the window, disturbed by this silence Andrea could not bear it anymore and decided to break it.

"Ev, what are you thinking? Talk to me it's not good to bear this alone." She said as she felt pity for her friend and the situation.

"Everything, i feel empty. It seems to me that I'm not me. Is my name even Evelin, how old I am ,what school did I go? All those questions are running on my mind and yet I don't have the answer."
She said all at once trying to control herself from screaming from the pain and doubts as continued:- "And the worst part is that I don't want to know because I'm scared Andrea. I..I'm so scared."

Andrea was looking at her with pain in her eyes as her eyes went a few tables further on where Aiden was standing refusing to leave because of fear that his sister would leave him alone again.

"You know I don't want for you to be part of this world and I feel guilty because I included you, but if they are your family you should give them a chance to tell their part of the story"

"It seems that they would give everything for you and you deserve a family that loves you. You may have something that other people do not have a father and brother who love you." Andrea continued , saying the last part trying to control the pain in her voice.

Then Evelyn took a deep breath and turned her head to look at the man who was supposed to be her brother who was already looking at her with those sad eyes.

Minutes later the doorbell on the bar rang and Evelin's eyes immediately went to him, as soon as she understood who he was she got ready to get up and leave as all this information at once was too much for her. As he approached them Andrea also got up and signalled him to stop as she was not ready, but this time it was Aiden's turn to intervene.
