Lydia

Chapter 30 -part 1 "Forgiveness"

Lydia

We stayed at Persephone's house for a week. We had a lot of fun there. Markella found some new friends to play and I managed to calm and think more clearly.

Now it was time for me to deal with my husband and sister, to talk with them face to face.

I would listen to what they had to tell me, I would let them explain themselves and then I would tell them what I had to say.

I didn't know about the consequences. Maybe there was a possibility to lose my sister forever..

I loved her a lot, but I couldn't do otherwise.

If I wanted to live well with my daughter and not to live in shadows, I had to make things.

As for Peter, we would get a divorce for sure. I wouldn't change my mind for that.

Also I believed what Persephone said. They were both good people, there must have been an explanation for what they had done.

Deep inside me I knew that there was something important..

"Are you happy my sunshine that we are going back to our family??" I asked

"Yes mommy!!" She said excitedly

"You had a lot of fun at Thessaloniki, right??" I asked again

"Yes it was nice. We should visit again grandma Persephone!!" She said on the same time

I giggled.

"We will, I promise." I said pinching softly her nose, making her giggle

Then someone came to our cabin in order to have his seat.

"Goodmorning..!!" He said

"Goodmorning.." I said back giving him a quick glance because I was fixing Markella's hair

"Oh my God!! Lydia is that you??" I heared him asking

At the mention of my name I turned my look to him, in order to see who was the man that knew me.

I couldn't believe in my eyes. I gasped at the sight.

"Phoebe??" I asked surprised

"It's really you!! I don't believe it!!" He said enthusiastically

"Yes it's me.. I'm so glad for seeing you!!" I said smiling

"Me either, you have changed so much!!" He said on the same tone

"Yes, marriage changes some things." I said chuckling

I don't know about the divorce!! I thought

"Yes, Irene has told me that you got married for second time with a very good guy." He said

"Yes, he is really good.." I said with a small nod

"Don't tell me that this is your daughter?!" He said surprised

"Yes, she is my Markella." I said almost proudly

For some reason, I was always feeling proud whenever someone was asking me about my daughter.

Not that I wanted to brag about her. I just felt proud for being a mother, her mother.

I was proud for having her as my child.

It was related more with a mother's pure love.

"It's nice to meet you my little one.." Phoebe said to Markella smiling

"Phoebe is one of aunt Irene's best friends." I explained to my daughter

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Markella said with a small smile
