Other Side Of Love

12. Sleepover

-------------------------------------------------------------

3rd March, 2016

It has been 12 years since this diary was closed. I thought to open this diary only then when my son Andrew would come to me again. But he didn't come. A letter by him after 12 years was hanging at our mail box. I never thought my son would become so mature in this 12 years. By reading the letter I could realise how bad we became. In want of a son I ruined my daughters life too. She has grown up and became 18. But she never got the motherly affection. I never took care of her well. But Andrew by  your letter you made me realise that Diana is also a part of our family. She is my daughter and she must now get all the love. A girl is not less than a boy. You know dear she never complained me for not loving her. She did mistakes and I scolded her ruthlessly. Still she haven't said anything. But I know its hard for her. How much can a girl bear? Since she was born she has always seen deprivations. At one point she lost her patience and shouted at me and started bursting out all her anger she has been holding for so long. I let her shout because I know how much hurt she is. We realised our mistakes Andrew. I wish I could tell you that we are not that person who did so unfair to your mother. We have changed dear and you changed us. You still may hold anger for us and it's justice on your side. Your mother has been tortured by my husband's soldiers just because she wanted to see her son. Andrew we misunderstood your mother. We thought she changed her minds and came to take you away from us. I couldn't afford loosing you and because of this we did this to your mother. We could see nothing but getting you at that moment. We never thought something worse would happen to her. I am sorry Andrew.
I don't know where you are, with whom you are. But I want you to tell you that just forget us dear. I don't want you to get more pain by us. We would always be living in this guilt and may be we will never be able to tell Diana. We can't loose her. We can't.

"And that is the reason your parents told you to stay away from Andrew. They never wanted to loose you Diana,they love you alot" said Kiara

"Thanks to Andrew. If he hadn't sent the letter my mom would have never realised."

"Andrew is very good by heart. He could have told you but he didn't."

"But one thing is still unclear Kiara"

"What?"

"Andrew knew each and every detail that happened to his mother. Until the time of her death even. Every details isn't written in this diary then how did he came to know?"

"Diana I guess there's someone. Who was there with her mom at that time and he narrated all this to Andrew."

"But I asked his close friend who knows him for so long. She told he has no family and has been living with her for long."

"There's more Diana more to know."

"But I am glad that I know the truth now. I am going to tell mom and dad they don't have to worry. I know they did wrong but they realised their mistake that's the best part."

"I am glad for you Diana. Today you sleep here and tomorrow would be a new day a new beginning. "

"Yeah. Sleepover at my best friends place would be great" I smiled.
