Why are you here?
“Well, I mean. I was mad at you but not anymore.” Diana laughs as she walks out of the restaurant with Wayne.
They were both holding hands and it’s been a month since they got together. Tihana will be giving birth anytime from now tho and Diana had made sure to drop by and visit her before coming down to the restaurant because Wayne invited her for a date.
“Then you need to trust me. You see, one thing I learnt about you during our fake…”
“You don’t actually have to always talk about that tho, It seems you’re using it against me.”
“Why would I? I’m just reminding that you made me go through Alot back then. Perhaps it helps me too, cause I learnt enough and realize my feelings for you were pure.”
“Is this your own way of saying you love me?” There was a chuckle between them as they stopped walking.
“You can’t just pretend not to catch me with my words?”
“No.” Diana laughs and peck him on the cheeks before rushing to get into the car, not waiting for him to open the door either.
Wayne’s face was full of smiles as he stares at her. There haven’t been too much work as if this month, because Aiden’s wife will soon be putting to bed and he wanted to be with her always.
For that, Aiden had decided to put on hold all contracts and merging waiting for him and have Wayne handle just a few things in the office.
“Are you gonna drive me out of here or you’re just gonna stand and stare at nothing?”.
Wayne smile again and went first to open the back door, dropped the takeaway that Diana had ordered a while ago, shut down the door and then got in to the driver’s side.
“Are you staying with Tihana today?”
“No. I informed Emma to take care of her, I wanted to spend today with just you. I know I’ve been at work always and when I’m free, I spend time with Tihana instead. So, I thought I was being unfair with you.”
“You don’t have to worry. Your reasons are totally understandable. While you tend to get mad at me any minute, I’ll never be mad at you.”
“Ain’t you so sweet Wayne!” Diana face was red, and it made Wayne happy.
If there’s anything he wanted, it was to make this lady before him happy and have her as his and his alone. Never had he expected to ever get into a relationship, but how he ended up with his boss wife’s best friend still remains a story to him.
While he had watched Aiden flirt with a thousand of men, he had promised himself that if he’d find any lady to date him.. he’s going to give her his all and not treat her as trash like his boss does.
He was also glad that Tihana was able to bring out the good side of Aiden.
“Have Tihana seen Blossom and her family yet?”
Diana shakes her head negatively. “The dinner night Blossom invited her to, she rejected it. I actually feel bad for Blossom but I understand Tihana too.”
“Well, her child will be needing an aunt.”
“Wayne! He will have me and Emma.”
“And it won’t be bad to have a third aunt too? I talked to Aiden, he said he doesn’t want to bother her and she can see her new family whenever she feel ready.”
“Let’s keep it like that then.”
Wayne roll his eyes and ignited the car then drove away from the restaurant garage.
“When will you have chance to see my parents?”
The question had come unexpected so Diana have to ask him to repeat himself because she was unsure of what she heard.
“What ya mean?”
“I want my parents to see the princess I ended up with.”
“Gezz Wayne. Just stop.. gosh, I’m embarrassed at how red my face is right now.” Diana complains and look at herself in the mirror.
“You look cute when you blush tho. So I intend you get ready to blush more.” Wayne said and make a U-turn. Diana looks at him and laughs.
While Wayne now focuses on the road, Diana chose to admire him.. she sometimes find it had to believe she’s actually in a real relationship, with Ofcourse the man that gives her the vibe she needed in a relationship.
He was always there for her, to support , cheer her up and give her his all. Diana’s past relationships haven’t actually been something she talks about at a regular.
Coming from a rich family, it’s hard to find a friend or a lover who’s keeping you for who you are. They tend to keep you for you have and leaves you afterwards.
Diana will remain grateful to her mother who thought her how to put herself first. That was the reason she moved out from her father’s house. Just so, she could learn how to not depend on daddy’s money.
Blossom was different, because she was a daddy’s girl. That, Diana doesn’t want to happen to her.
“You stare so good you’re undressing me.” She heard Wayne said.
“I’m just actually surprised about lot of things.” She chuckles and take his hand into hers.
“I’m driving.” Wayne whispered, as if reminding her that something might happen if he doesn’t focus on the road.
“Oh. Sorry.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Emma , could you get me another pack of pumpkin please?” Tihana calls out and yawn.
Isn’t it ridiculous that she have two stepsisters?. Well, at least Emma wasn’t really that much of a pain in the ass.
“This will be the third one. Don’t you think you should eat some Vegetables?”
“Well, the baby doesn’t seem interested in it.”
“I’ll get the pumpkin for you then”. Emma said as she laughs.
She had arrived at Tihana’s home about two weeks ago and she doesn’t feel like going back again.
Tihana had as well, welcomed her with open arms.
“Is My Husband back home?” Tihana questioned her when she came back into the room.
“Not yet. He said he wants to see his grandfather, perhaps he’ll be home late.”
Tihana nodded and take the pumpkin from her, muttering a thank you.
______
Aiden parked the car at the garage and got down, he walks to the other side of the car and opened the door for Tihana, Aiden let her take his hand as she got down, shutting the door behind.
“Will you like me to go in with you?” Aiden asked and Tihana gave him a little smile as she adjusts her cloth.
“They’re my family. They won’t hurt me.”
“But you look nervous.”
“It’s normal. Besides, you said you wanted to visit your grandfather.. you should get going already.”
“Alright, call me after and I’ll come and pick you.” Tihana smile at him and muttered okay to him.
She stood and watch him get into the car and then drive off. Tihana sighed, Aiden was right when he says she was nervous.
She breathed down and walk towards the door, just before she could press the doorbell , the door opened Revealing Blossom who seems to be rushing out and have tears in her eyes.
“Tihana!” She called out immediately she sighted her.
Tihana take a step backward and swallowed.
“Who’s at the door?” Tihana heard someone asked from inside and she knew it was Mr Norman.
“What are you doing here?” Blossom asked, ignoring his father’s question.
“Uhm. I… I came to see your father.”
“Oh. Our Father.” Blossom corrected with a smile and Tihana nodded uncomfortably.
“Please come in.” She moved aside for her, using her right finger tip to clean the tears that might have been on her face.
“Are you going anywhere? You seem to be heading out.”
“Yes… As usual, running away from home. But don’t mind me tho, please come in .. I’ll head out after.” Tihana nodded and walk in while Blossom follows her behind, shutting the door.
Tihana had finally been able to gather enough courage to come over here. At first, she had wanted to just meet Mr Norman in a restaurant or Blossom, but on a second thought.. they’re family. The family she never expected, and she have been avoiding them ever discovering about things.
She thought it’ll be better to come over instead. Aiden on the other side had been very supportive of her, giving her advice and telling that if she’s not yet ready to meet them, there’s always time in the future.
But for how long will she keep hiding away from the truth?
She’s almost due, perhaps it remains a week or two. She won’t want her baby to come into the world where people hold grudges. People like her. She wanted to make everything right just before putting to bed.
“Tihana?!” Mr Norman called out in excitement as he approached her and hugs her… It was a side hug because Tihana’s stomach was big and she might get hurt attempting the regular hug.
“Father…” The word came out of her mouth, as a whisper.
Blossom went to sit down and folded her arms beneath her breast then stare at them. She had heard Tihana called her father, Father. And she hopes that she will as well call her sister.
Over the months, she had wondered… If Tihana finally decides to accept the real life and the truth here, will she ever forgive her for all ill character towards her? She thought, could Tihana as well pretend to forgive her just so she could put her through pains too, just like she(Blossom) did.
“Oh My! I never dreamt you’ll ever step your foot in my building.” Mr Norman was almost crying as he offered Tihana a seat which she sat on immediately.
She was already tired for standing for that small time.
“Blossom, could you get your sister water?”
Tihana looks up and stare from Blossom to Mr Norman. Hearing that sentence was kind of sweet in the ear and she knew that she had wished to hear that word someday.
The feeling of being together with your real family.
Tihana had never experienced family love, even tho it had come in during the last minute.
Blossom returns and handed the water to Tihana, she takes it and muttered a thank you as she drinks from the glass, finishing the whole water immediately.
“What brings you here?” Mr Norman asked. The question might sound stupid but he had just wanted to say something.
