"Uncle, why are you crying?" Jordan asked Sean.
"I don't have a child, I'm just glad to meet you," Sean replied.
I can't believe that Sean can take it all so easily. My whole thought was that he would doubt that he was Jordan's father. But everything turned out to be the opposite because the truth is that he is very happy to know that he is Sean's real father.
Mama cried watching the father and son. Even I couldn't stop crying that's why I told Mama that I was going out first. Right now I'm feeling so many things that I forgot for a moment how Mama was doing. I just need to go outside to breathe properly. I went to the small chapel of the hospital. Fervently prayed and asked for forgiveness for all the sins I had committed. I was only there for a few moments when Sean immediately followed me. Suddenly it appeared and sat next to me.
"Why didn't you tell me right away?" he asked immediately.
I was ashamed of what I had done. My lying and keeping secrets from him.
"Forgive me if I didn't tell you right away. I don't want to bother you anymore because I know I've done a lot to you."
So you planned to keep the truth from me? Don't you know what I feel right now, Aira? I blame myself for letting you end up with that man! I blame myself because I wasn't by your side when you gave birth and you were having a hard time getting our child out."
Sean was crying again. Angrily messing up the hair.
It's not your fault, Sean. It's all my fault that this happened. I was selfish and stupid. Forgive me for what I have done."
Sean held my hand. It was slightly squeezed. "I will do everything for you. Starting from this day, Julius will never hurt you or even come close to you. That's what Sean promised me, so I became complacent. He couldn't even save me, but I know for myself that my son is safe.Sean and I returned to Mama's room holding hands. Jordan was by Mama's side, both waiting for the two of us to arrive. Mama looked at our hands, so there was no need to ask if our conversation was okay.
"Mommy, where are you from?" Jordan asked me.
We approached Jordan and stroked his hair.
"Son, I have something to tell you. I know you're a smart kid so I know you'll understand what I'm going to say. I watched my son's gentle face. It just stared at me and waited for me to say something. "Son, from now on, you will no longer call Sean uncle... you will call him daddy, son." Jordan's eyes were surprised. He looked at Sean and looked at me again. Still seems confused as to what is happening.
"Is your real Daddy gone?" Jordan asked, referring to Julius.
No, Son. I know you too will understand in time. But it's better for you to know now that you're going to call him Daddy." I don't know how to explain to Jordan how his Daddy became two.
"Let it go, Aira. Where our son is more comfortable what to call me. That's not important, because the important thing is that the three of us will be together." Sean picked up Jordan and hugged his son again. I can clearly see how happy it is that our love has developed.
"You children are so funny, I remember your Dad." Mom said tearfully.
"Mom, how are you feeling? Isn't there any pain in your body? I only asked after my long drama with Sean.
"I'm fine, Son. And I'll be okay now because I see you're happy."
"Don't worry, Aunt. I will do everything to catch the person who did that to you. He will pay for all his sins in prison.
Thank you, Sean. Your whole family has helped my mother and daughter a lot. We owe you so much. I will never forget until I am gone from this world."
"Mom, you won't disappear from the world right away. You and your grandson have a long relationship. So be strong so you can get out of the hospital." I said to Mama in tears. It nodded at me, so I approached it to hug it tightly. Mama's being a mother and father to me is unmatched. He never failed me. That's why I really regretted the time I rejected him from my classmates. Something I shouldn't have done because I trampled on Mama's character. I'm such a useless person that I thought about that. I didn't see him sacrificing how he would raise me and study in a good school. I envy my classmates who have a good life. I should be the envy of them because they don't have a mother to act as a father and mother to fill all my needs.Two days ago, Mama was released from the Hospital. We stayed at Sean's house to make sure we were safe and that Mama would be taken care of. Since I don't have a job, I can't afford Mama's medicines either. So Sean's family answered all of our needs. I'm ashamed of Sean's parents, I feel like I'm shrinking.
"Isn't it embarrassing for Madam and Gov that I sleep here in your room?" I asked Sean after he brought my things to his room. Jordan quickly got on Sean's bed and he was happily jumping up and down.
"Mommy! The bed is so soft! Jordan said fondly.
"Son, you might fall, don't jump there!" I told my son. Sean was happily watching Jordan.
"And where do you want to sleep? In the maid's quarters? Do you want me to sleep there too? he asked me with a smile.
"No, we can only go to the guest room because it will embarrass your parents. Maybe they'll say that I'm doing too much because I used to be just a maid here."
"Can you stop thinking like that? And then don't call them madam and gov because they are your children. Sean hugged me from behind. I even felt him smell my hair before placing his chin on my shoulder. I felt a tickle from the nape of my neck. I did not expect that at my age I would still feel a little tickle. So I averted my face from Sean and maybe he could see me enjoying myself.
"Hon..." he whispered.
I was surprised by what it called me. But I was even more surprised when I responded that I was willing.
"Hmm?"
"I don't want to hear you belittle yourself anymore, huh? It's not because I used to be a maid that you will no longer be the queen of this house. And then everything is not different because even if you don't serve the whole house, you will serve mine. You'll work me every night and you'll definitely pay me a lot.
"And you're really naughty! You're listening to our son, shame on you!" I said with wide eyes but I was smiling.
"What if our son listens, it would be better for him to see how much I love you. Come here!" He pulled my hand and greeted me with a hug. I sank into his wide chest. I couldn't do anything but put my cheek on his chest and savor his tight hug.
"I love you, Aira. I love you so much." He whispered to me. It's so good to hear that there are butterflies landing on a beautiful flower. We would not have stopped caressing if the new maid hadn't knocked on us.
"Mam, sir, I'm going to eat!" he said from the other door.
"Okay. We'll be next! replied Sean before turning to me and whispering. "What do you want to eat first? It's me or the food on the chin?" he whispered.
