Amara
6 months later ( after the last day of trial)
"Inmate 1650, you have a visitor" a police lady said
I stood up walking to the small gate as she open it for me
"Who is it?" I asked "could it be my sister?" I asked again excitedly
"I don't know" she said "but that is definitely not your sister, he is more like your brother"
"Jared?" I asked in disbelief. Jared hates me to the core. What is he doing here after six months.
Since I started to serve my time in jail, no one has ever visited me. Not even my brother Ezekiel who became angry with me for doing that to Allysa but then he said he forgave me.
Tsk! As if he didn't collaborate with dad and beat her to pulp. But people change, he enjoys his life as a priest now.
"There he is, 30 mins only" the officer said and my eyes almost came out of the socket when I saw who it was.
"Bruce?" I called when he stood up to face me with a big smile "Bruce" I called again walking quickly to him and we hugged tightly. Tears was streaming like alot.
For many nights that I spent crying and regret for all bad things I did, I never thought that I could shade so much anymore.
Bruce rubbed my back softly until I stopped crying then we pull out and he pull a chair for me to sit.
I was still looking at him like I didn't believe that he travelled all the way from home just to come and see me.
Bruce is the person who despise me the most, I wonder what brings him here.
"How are you?" He asked me softly
"I'm fine" I sobbed "who am I kidding? I'm not fine. I miss home, I miss school, my friends must have already graduated.." I cried hard.
Bruce put his hands on top of mine and squeeze them to calm me down
"I miss my brother, my dad and you might not believe me but I miss Allysa and Jared too. I wish they could come to see me even once so that I can say how sorry I am to allow my mother to treat me like that" I cried putting all my sorrows out.
"Don't worry, Allysa and Jared can't come to visit because Allysa is still recuperating from the birth of her baby girl"
I gasped "she had a girl?" I asked
"Yes, and she is so cute" he said dreamily. I know how much Bruce love kids but too bad he might not have a chance to have one.
"Well, tell her congratulations" I said "what's her name?"
"Mireya, we all call her Mira"
I chuckled "That is typical my sister"
"You may not believe but Jared was the one who named her that" he said
"Those two are so alike. I can't believe that I tried to break them apart" I smiled bitterly then look down not having the confidence to face Bruce.
Silence pass through us as Bruce holding my hands and I just look down not knowing what to say anymore.
"I miss you" I suddenly blurted
"No Amara-"
"It's true though" I said "I don't know if you will ever forgive me, but I do miss you Bruce and believe it or not, I did love you that time and I still do.." I said looking straight to his eyes.
His eyes softened, he looked at me with so many emotions, but one thing was clear to me. His eyes showed how much he still loves me.
"Do you still love me Bruce?" I asked. I wanted to hear it from him and not just assuming
