Chapter 23
Troy and Farah said goodbye up till 12 sharp he was anguished inside leaving Farah. All weekend long all she did was love on Troy and Troy loved on Farah.
The couple were totally into one another, for the first time ever Troy let his guard down. He forgot about all the failed relationships, lies he'd been fed over the decade's, all those bad memories now a distant nightmare. In Farah Troy found hope in her eyes for his future.
As usual Farah went to work she did her morning and mid day rounds. Toward the day's end she made notes. Her secretary bought her file's.
These are from Doctor Chowdry's desk Farah he asked you sign as his second. No problem she went though the file's signing when she came to a name Channel Mccain why did the name sound familiar.
Had she seen this patient? She checked her case load of patient's and Channel McCain wasn't one of them.
She went through signing the cases Farah Froze half way through. Lalique Rose Farah took the file home for case review
she didn't want to she had to.This is Giovanni Cantrell. Gio please don't hang up. What do you want Kate? To see you before I die baller. Don't call me that my name is Giovanni.
I know what your name is I gave it to you, baller was your nick name because you loved baseball. They called you the next Jackie Robinson or Daryle Strawberry. I was supposed to try out for the New York Yankees the summer you put me in the Psychiatric ward the summer you tried to sell me off Kate.
Once they discovered I was admitted for care I wasn't worth the expense or risk they'd have to put into developing a professional ball player. I'm not sure if I ever thanked you for that Kate...Thank you.
Giovanni I didn't call you to exchange digs I called to say I'm sorry. I was a horrible mother one who was too lazy to work so I sacrificed my only child for money. I'm sorry I was wrong I love you. I damaged my son I destroyed him for this I will answer on judgement day. I ask you to please...no I beg your forgiveness baller.
Thank you for that confession Kate, but what I won't do is allow you to clear your conscience four month's before you meet your father in hell for what you've done. Kate was crying Gio please make sure I have a proper Christian burial that's all I ask. Will cremation work? No, I'd like a burial where my mother is in Yellow Rose of Texas Memorial Cemetary baller. Send the information I'll see your body gets shipped there anything else? Farah make sure you marry her baller she's a good woman who genuinely loves you I see it in her eyes.
If you have a girl child please give her my name Katherine as a middle name. I know you and Farah will raise her well make her better then I son. Giovanni pushed back in his leather custom made to contour his body chair. Better then Texas' most desired Cantrell debutante? Better then The homecoming Queen? Better then the winner of the Rose of Texas beauty contest? Better then the third runner up of the Ms. America Beauty Pageant? Kate smiled wiping her eyes you remembered Giovanni.
How could I forget? Is that all Kate? Yes son. I wish you well on your journey into the after life mother may God have mercy on your rotting soul.
Farah was home when her bell rang what now? She wanted a quiet evening home alone for four months straight 90% of her time was at Giovanni's house. She answered it was her mother.
She entered Farah's living room what are you doing here mom? I wanted to speak with you about your barbeque performance Farah.
What was that mom a month a go and you're still fuming from it? Let it go. No Farah you owe me an apology. For? Spewing lies. Farah pulled off her reading glasses lies? How so mom?
Your father left us Farah I never left him your sister's don't belong to your step father they belong to the woman your father was having an affair with behind my back.
Your father was a bigamist Farah he was married to me his first wife and another wife in Wisconsin.
He and this woman got in a tragic car accident which is true that is how he died by car accident.
By no means was he in that car alone. When the court of Wisconsin contacted me they said he had property a few laundry mats and some cars I sold everything paying off this brownstone town house you adore.
Then the family court called because there were children Farah. His second illegitimate wife had no family and as you're aware neither did your father beside you.
The court asked I foster his illegitimate bastard children as you eloquently phrased it the other night.
So your perfect father wasn't so perfect after all. You and your sister's have the same father Farah NOT the same mother.
Farah's mother went in her purse pulling their birth certificates is that not your father's signature Doctor?
Yes it is. Her mother took out both marriage certificate copies is this not his signature Farah? It is.
Farah went for water feeling light headed mind flooded with odd memories making her knees weak.
Why are you telling me all this mom? Because everyone know's except you and I'm tired of protecting you.
Protecting me from what? Tell me something mom why the hell is your name and signature on this file? Farah grabbed it off her office desk. How did you get this Farah?
It was given to me to sign off on by Dr. Choudhury today is that not YOUR signature mom; Lalique Rose? Farah let me make a call. Make a call for what mom? Tell me who is Channel Mccain? Where is James mom? Why is he never at a family affair are you guy's divorced or something?
Your stepfather Jamed and I separated when you were nine Farah, I haven't seen him since. I just saw him at the barbecue mom so that's another lie. You saw James at the barbeque what did he say to you? Nothing you know I dispise him for cheating with you on my father mom. Baby by the time I met James your dad passed. LIAR!
Why does everyone in this family treat me like a damn black sheep?!
I'm your first born your oldest yet you treat me like a fragile fucking doll! I'm not fragile! Who the fuck is Chantel McCain mom? I demand an answer NOW!
Lalique was shaking afraid of Farah. Do doctor's in your field still keep a photo of the patient's in the case file baby? Of course mother.
Open Chanel's file baby look at the photo please Lalique was shaking nervously staring at Farah with love and care. Farah thinking her mother was exhibiting stages if early dementia flipped the thick file to the back jacket agitated to where the photo was located.
Since HIPAA they'd stopped using this practice for privacy issues but older patient's who frequented the psychiatric ward still had a photo on file.
Farah peered at the vintage black and white photo looking up shocked at her mother NO! NO! This isn't it! Farah blacked out in her mother's arm's.
