WHEN DADDY LEFT

Makeouts and reunions pt1

Y'vania's POV

There was once a girl with a broken smile and a broken heart. She always wanted to be happy and she dreamt of having a good life. She had an imaginary life which was so different from the one she really had. It was way funnier, thrilling and always had happy moments.

Whenever things would go wrong she would tune into her world and pretend like nothing bad happened. That's how she survived the most depressing days.

Some days were good and others were bad. Some made her realize that with age, her wild imagination was fading. Sometimes it was there to back her up but most of the times it left her with nothing to think about but just blank pages. She resorted to forcing it down on paper but whenever she held the pen nothing came up. So she stayed still staring into nothing but the emptiness of her world counting as the days went by for the day when everything was going to end.

Two weeks later..

"What are you still doing here? You should be dressed up!"

Nisha shouts barging into my room and thoughts. If Nisha gets ready first, the rest of you are doomed.

"I asked what are you doing.."

"Sitting, I'll be done in a couple of minutes."

I speak up without even staring at her.

"What are you doing? I thought you were ready when you came in."

Nisha is asking too many questions. I wish she knew how I woke up feeling so tired. I stare at my left hand, the new ring gleaming in the light. Daniel really outdid himself on this.

He proposed on the second day of our vacation. We were all meeting for dinner at the restaurant and I got in earlier everyone else wasn't there yet. When I got in, Daniel was the only one there. He was on a phone call and was holding Elio's hand.

I walked in and waved at them then took a seat and admired the decor. The six of us had agreed to dress up for a fancy dinner and had already made arrangements with the hotel staff.

Elio let go of Daniel's hand and started walking towards me. He was holding a small basket which looked like one of the centerpieces for the dinner setting.

I didn't realize that Daniel had given him the basket so I asked him where he got it from and he just said pretty meaning the flowers. I took the basket from him when he started taking the petals and throwing them up in the air screaming pretty.

He was messing up the place and I was about to tell him to stop it when he picked a small box at the bottom of the basket and gave it to me.
I knew what it was but I knew it couldn't be mine because Elio just picked up a random basket and there were other residents in the hotel coming out for dinner.

I started to tell him to take it back but he kept on staring at me like he didn't understand me. That's when I saw everyone walking in and Daniel getting on his knee just a few steps from where I was seated.

I cried. I know my emotions were all over the place but I cried happy tears. It was a beautiful proposal and I was ready. I am ready to become Daniel's wife.

Everything is okay. We celebrated Elio's birthday last week and it turned out okay. He was in a good mood he fed everyone cake but he didn't like the cake or the chocolate and candy.

He loves bananas, grapes, peaches and berries. Blame me but I have been instilling a healthy eating habit on my son for fear that processed foods are going to make his immune system weak. I don't want him to go through what I went through. He is not used to eating candy or chocolate and seeing it on his birthday he didn't know that it's a delicacy for kids. He just thought it was food for everyone else and he made sure everyone had enough candy and cake. He even took it upon himself to go around distributing candy.
