WHEN DADDY LEFT

Mummy

Y'vania's POV

"I knew it was going to be bad but not this bad I shouldn't have told him and now he hates me,he can't believe his father did that to me."

I speak fast failing to register what happened as I drop myself on the couch. I am venting out to Lilly as we get ready for our five days vacation. I decided the more, the merrier so it's me, Daniel, baby Elio, Javier and new man, Matt and Lilly. Jake is in London. He regrets missing out on a trip to the Caribbean but he had to check on his father.

Ladies and gentlemen, guess who came back to visit?

Tessa. Yes. Tessa my bestie bestie, Daniel's ex-girlfriend. It doesn't feel weird as I thought it would when I saw her text message as soon as I got back home from meeting Anthony.

I thought she would be mad at me and cling to Daniel but that was not the case; as a matter of fact she came in with a new man by his side. She says they just met back at home but I think she's lying. There's a certain degree of chemistry between them. I think she had a boyfriend back home and this was the boyfriend. Daniel was just the America illusion.

When I say the world is a weird place I mean it.

She says she just passed by to say hey and pick up some of her things at campus. She says she missed baby Elio and she came by to see him.

Daniel is getting done with packing for baby Elio as I already packed for him.

He is my man I know what he needs.

"You see why this isn't fair cutie pie. How can I do that? Anthony hates me for something I didn't do."

I go on complaining.

In reality I don't care what Anthony and his family think of me. I know deep down that I didn't do what they're accusing me of doing but I don't know why I am being so dramatic and emotional about it. We came back in about ten minutes ago and I started crying again the moment I saw Lilly.

Daniel is getting sad because he doesn't like seeing me depressed but I can't help it. Anthony really stabbed me deep. I am not even angry, just sad, empty, disappointed. I don't know how to explain it. I hope the Caribbeans will cheer me up. Lilly is trying her best to cope up with my new behavior by being the rational one.

"Y'vania it's not the end. Just give him time to think about it both of you need space to process everything."

I shake my head failing to understand why people like telling me about space. It doesn't work on our part, it only breaks us apart.

"Why am I not good at this co-parenting relationship thing? Everyone else is perfect but mine is so bent and crooked and never okay. Every time I try to make it right there has to be an obstacle."

"Everyone has their story written in a unique manner even the ones you call perfect have experienced difficulties at some point."

It's true I know whatever Lilly is saying is true but why is it that our 'difficulties' time is so long it's like forever difficult. The happy days with Anthony existed for only a short period of time and they weren't that happy because every minute had us worried of my health condition. Most of our dates had to be cancelled because I was in the hospital undergoing check up or very ill to even talk.

Everything is so twisted and complicated and now I can't even tell if he's ever going to talk to me.

When I got out of that hotel room I wished all this was a movie that I could rewind it to when he called me and skip the part where I confessed to him about his father's deeds.
