It wasn't real. Was it? How was this even possible. Someone who had died (or so I thought) for over five years is here standing I front of me, the only logical explanation to this is that he mind be an angle but then again he was standing here which simply means he isn't an angle but every much real. My dad was alive all these years an I had no idea.
I was so close to my dad growing up, I honestly don't even know how my mom, she isn't even wordy of that title, but I don't know how she got me to play her games. However I'm greatful to her for it, whatever she did to make me play her games brought me here today with a family. A wonderful wife and an amazing son, but life has its own game to play with us and that's why my marriage has went downhill, though I'm at fault because I wasn't man enough to stand up for the love of my life until I had no choice but to let her go and miss my son's birth, first word, his first step, I missed everything but I'm here now with them and very much determine to get my wife and son to live a happy life with me, and this experience only pushed me even further to do just that.
Currently we were at the hospital waiting to hear what the doctor had to say about my son's condition. "Liam why don't you go talk to your father I'll inform you about what the doctor says." Emily said after she finished her bottle water. We have been here for one hours the most, both Emily's bruises and mine have been attended to already.
I looked at her as if she asked me to kill someone and answered " My wife and son are my main priority everyone and everything else comes after." she was taken back my words but I knew she remembered our past as I saw a flash of hurt and sadness passed her eyes.
Just as she was about to reply her mom and cousins walked in hurrying to her. Truthfully I was a bit jealous of her. She had a family one that loved her, growing up I knew my mother never loved me much nor did my family on her side, but growing I got to realise that her side of family didn't know what love was, if it wasn't about the mafia or money they never gave two shit. However my father loved me and I knew that for a fact but he was the only one left on his side of family that he knew, unfortunately they died.
But my dad lied to me he made me believe he was dead for so many years, and to be honest no words could express the amount of hurt he felt. But he never wanted to give up the chance of getting his answers to his questions, question like; where has he been all this time, why did he fake his death, how did he know where they were and so much more question that came to mind.
Kamala and I were friends back in college but I never like her the way she was into me, ever since I got to know she was into me like that, things between us was awkward but now that we are grown and that I'm married to her cousin and I also have a son with I just hope we can just be friends and nothing more.
I greeted Marsha, Natasha and Kamala but we didn't have time to start a conversation Sarge doctor came and informed us that Enrique was awake, immediately me and Emily headed towards his room. I felt as if I failed to fulfil my duty as a father. My five years old son had to go through so much all because of my mom crazy obsession with my wife's father.
Emily was the first to talk as we stood there for a minute just looking at our son," My baby, I'm so sorry this had to happen to you, I'm sorry that you had to go through this so young - I - I " she couldn't finish her sentence as she started to cry while the hiccups started.
Walking behind her her I placed my hands on her shoulder "It hurts mommy, but I'm a big boy now so I'll get better real quick so please stop crying" hearing this only made her cry even more, I rapped my arms around her bringing her towards me while standing. "Daddy please make mommy stop crying, I'm sorry I wasn't strong before but I am now. "
And that was my breaking point I cried, many would say I wasn't a real man to cry over silly things like devorce or your child saying something like that but, not crying doesn't make you a man, don't get me wrong not saying a man should cry for everything but my wife and son hopefully future kids are the only thing in this world that I would cry for at any day, time or place for.
"I love you Enrique, you're a strong boy but I don't want you to worry about being strong for me or for mommy right now, right now I want I want you to focus on being a kid and be worry free. Mommy and I love you with every thing in us and I made some bad choices that made mommy cry in the past but I promise you that after today I wouldn't allow mommy to cry about anything sad, at least I'll do my best. And I'll always be here for you and mommy no matter what, if anyone is to blame all this on it would be me, I'm sorry I never did my job as a father nor a husband but I promise you that we will be a family and I'll never leave you, ever. "
It was obvious that Emily was shocked by my words because she stop crying and looking at me with puffy eyes. My words wasn't just got my son but also for my wife to hear and know that it doesn't matter what comes after this I'll never give up and trying to make us a family just like we were suppose to be.
"I love you too daddy, you too mommy but I wanna sleep I'm tired. " it must have been some drugs that was given to him because he was out like a lamp after that sentence.
Emily haven't said anything as yet though I could see that she was thinking every hard about something from the way her face looked full concentration. She kissed his cheeks and I followed.
I waited for her to say something but she said nothing and was about to leave to room but I couldn't let her leave without knowing what she was thinking. "Em please say something, I'll never give up on us, I know I messed up really bad and no amount of sorrys could have made you forgive me but I don't think I'll be able to live much longer without you in my life - "
*Smack*
"I deserved that but can you ple- "
*Smack*
"Okay now I'm confuse are you slapping because I'm apologizing are just got speaking overall? " she rasied her hand to slap me again but god dammit my face felt as if I was on fire, I held her hand before it came in contact with my face.
"How could you say something like that, you just told our son that you'll never leave him and then you talking as if you want to commit suicide just because we aren't on good terms in our marriage! " she shouted clearly angry, I couldn't say anything because I haven't even realize I was saying that but only God knew how much I meant it, breathing without Emily was not living at all, but couldn't allow my marriage to make me wanna leave my son in this world without a dad, I wouldn't be fair to him, he did nothing wrong.
"I'm sorry, you're right." there was a knock on the door before the conversation could go any further.
Why can't we just have a conversation as husband and wife without any interruption?!
"come in" Emily said has she wiped her face getting rid of any evidence that she was crying but her eyes was still a bit red and puffy.
Her mom and cousins walked in, I haven't spoken to Marsha in years and with no doubt I could tell she hated me for the way I treated her daughter. While they made there way over to Enrique I pulled Emily out the door. "Can we please talk about us tonight, I'll send you the address of my penthouse or I'll come pick you up and one that's good for you." she just stared at me so I chose to continue " I really want us Emily I want us to work, I miss you more than words can tell and I want us to be happy as a family so I'm begging you, please give me a another chance to make us work. "
"Just send the address I'll see at my house, now go and talk to you dad, lord knows how much I wish my dad was still here, he must have had his reasons so go talk to him and then we'll talk after. " she hugged me like she usual did when I was working late and final cane home, I happily wrapped my arms around her curvy body not wanting to let go but unfortunately I had to, I kissed her on her forehead and then her cheek, "I promise to make it up to you, I'll do anything you ask but I'll never leave you, I love you, I love you so much" I whispered in her ear before leaving to head to my father to get some answers.
