In my dreams (ON GOING)

Family reunited

Amy kept asking all the way where they were going, but no one told her anything. They all just said that it was a surprise for her. Then she got angry and without talking to anyone she sat quietly in her Dada's lap. After some time, when they stopped in front of a big house, Amy quickly looked out the window and asked, a little confused,
Amy: Dada, have I seen this house before? but i can't remember clearly.
Jake chuckled slowly & said,
Jake: It's our old house my princess. We all lived here when you were little, did you remember anything now?
Amy: Yes, yes.
She quickly got down from the car, went inside and started hopping around the house. Not everything, but she remembered a little bit, so she was looking at the house lovingly. Then these three also came behind her and then Brett said,
Brett: Come on,let's go. We'll introduce you to someone.
Then everyone went inside with cake and food. When they went in, Mr.Toner and Mimi were sitting there. Amy was shocked to see him. Seeing both of them, she stepped back and hugged Jake tightly.  Jake leaned towards her and asked,
Jake: Don't you want to meet your Grampy Bear?
Amy grabbed his shirt sleeve even more tightly and said,
Amy: Da...Dada. But he....he... he had gone to mumma, right?
Jake hugged her & said,
Jake: No baby, he had an accident but he is fine, he didn't go to momma. We didn't know about them. So,we thought that they were no more. And you know who saved them from that accident?
Amy nodded her head as no,then Jake pointed towards Mike & said,
Jake: It's your Mike uncle.
Amy smiled at Him & again looked at Mr.Toner who spread his arms for her. Seeing this, Amy quickly went and hugged him and started crying.
Amy: Grampy Bear. I missed you. Why you left me? You're bad,very bad. I'm...I'm angry with you.
Mr.Toner hugged her tightly n pecked her head. He was so happy to see the little one that he could not say anything. They broke the hug & Amy looked at him with an angry pout. Then he hold his both ears and said,
Mr.Toner: I'm sorry my pumpkin. Please forgive this old bear.
Amy hold his both hands & said,
Amy: Who told you that my bear is old?? You're not old.
Mimi: Won't you hug your Mimi?
Amy quickly went and hugged her.
Amy: I missed you so much mimi.
Mimi: I have also missed you and Eli a lot.
Hearing her Mumma's name, Amy remembered something, then she looked at Jake and said,
Amy: Dada, I've something to tell you.
Jake: I know what you want to say.
Amy looked at him with confusion.
Jake: You haven't been getting your pendant since morning. Am I right ?
Amy: How do you know?
Jake: Here take this & talk to your Mumma. Go to another room. Go..Go..Go.
She left with a bright smile. Then everyone looked at Jake with a questionable eyes.
Jake: Ahhh..Jake had taken it. When he came to know about this, he quietly stole it from my baby's room last night. so that no one can talk to Eli. He thought this was the only pendant with which we could talk to her. I was returning from the rooftop after talking to Brett and I saw him in his room. So, I stood there to find out what he was doing. And this afternoon I sent him to brought the cake so that I could bring back the pendant from his room.
Brett: Wow. My super intelligent detective. Hats off to you.
Jake: You've also become a dramatist like my princess.
On otherside,
Amy was talking to Eli while sleeping on her lap.
Amy:Mumma,you know how much i missed you today??
Eli said while patted her back,
Eli: Oh come on. You liar, you kept having fun with your Dada whole day. I've seen everything, there is no need to act drama queen.
Amy looked at her with a sad face & said,
Amy: No, Mumma. Don't say like that. I really missed you so much.
Eli: Really?? So, my princess missed mumma. Okay,come let me give you your birthday gift.
Saying that she made her sit on her lap & kissed her whole face. Then everyone also came inside. Mimi was insistent on meeting Ellie, so Jake brought her and his father to meet her. Then Brett asked Amy,
Brett: Ask your mumma, if we can all see her together, because we all want to meet her.
Amy nodded her head. Then Eli whispered something in her ears. After that she came to Jake and said,
Amy: Dada, you'll have to hang these three pendants on the door and window, only then we will all be able to see Mumma together.

Jake nodded his head & took those pendants from her with a trembling hands,maybe this time he didn't have the courage to face Eli. And how will he have the courage?? The woman who trusted him and left her home to live with him for the rest of her life was forced to die by her own mother. Thinking all this, Jake hung the pendant on the window and door. Now all of them were able to see Eli. She first came slowly towards Mimi & hugged her tightly. Mimi also took her into her embrace. Then Eli said without braking the hug,
Eli: Mimi, It's hurting so much Mimi, I...Ican't wait any more.
Mimi said while patting her back softly,
Mimi: Just a little more time, then you will be free my child.
Eli could no longer control herself and started crying loudly. Everyone became very sad seeing her like this, especially Amy. She herself started crying after seeing her mumma like this. That's why Brett took him in his arms. But there was someone else who was breaking from inside after seeing Eli like this, his conscience was cursing him,and that was Jake. He couldn't bear all this and went out quietly.
After some time They broke the hug, and mimi wiped her tears with her hands. She kissed her forehead & said,
Mimi: He still loves you more than anything else.
Before they could even finish talking, Mr. Toner said to Eli,
Mr.Toner: Eli, will you not meety your dad?
Hearing this, she came to him and hugged him too.
Mr.Toner: I'm sorry my child, please forgive your dad. I couldn't do anything for you.
Eli shook her head as no & said,
Eli: Dad....dad please. Don't blame yourself, and all of you also don't blame yourself. Whatever happened was not your fault. In fact I'm very happy that you all are taking such loving care of my Amy.
They all kept talking emotionally for a long time. After that Brett said,
Brett: Eli come here, you should talk to him right now. I think this is the best time when you can explain your point to him.
Ellie nodded slowly and then took a pendant and went into the backyard of the house.
