Scary Times

So everything was not so bad after all and the entire reception was the best. She had a lot of questions disturbing her on her mind but she had to save it for the next day or later. Esther's mom too was burning with several questions and could not wait to ask.

Esther sits at the living room looking at the old room which is not old after all. The pictures of little her and the entire family were still hanging strong all over the room and looked so clear after all the years. Victor passes by the room heading to the kitchen and nothing had her so confused like him. She has been dying to know who he is since the moment he opened the door for her.

"No,he's not my brother at all" esther keeps on overthinking and tries to figure out things herself before asking. She goes to her room and find a huge surprise. Her lovely room was now turned to be Victor's room since it was filled with young boys stuff and her old childhood toys like her dolls were missing. She looks at the room walking slowly around it and everything seems to have changed totally except for her dads pic at the corner of the room.

She walks slowly next to it and takes it out to look at it. He was somehow the biggest reason that made her to come back home, she could not think at all and did not want to hear any news about her dad since no one has talked about him since she came in. She holds the picture on her chest and thinks about how caring he was, she saw him as a role model and no one could have ever loved her the way her dad loved her. He was always by her side all the times and supported her always, all he ever wanted was to see his grandchildren and never wanted his lineage to go and never been known to anyone later in future and that's the only reason he wanted Esther to get married and he was willing to give her whatever support she wanted.

"You know he loved you even more than his life, and he stills love you Esther" her mom was standing at the door looking at how she was holding her dads picture. Esther turns and looks at her once more and her mom could already know the question that Esther had just from the look that she gave her.

"Come with me" her mom walks away, Esther places the picture back at its place and follows her mom not knowing what to expect but she hoped it was not any bad news because this will make her regret why she decided to come back home. She follows her mom to her bedroom, her mom enters but Esther takes a breath before getting in, she slowly walks in the room, the lights in the room are so dim that she can barely see anything some little moonlight adds some little light in the room.

"Come in Esther" she tells her as Esther seems so terrified. Esther enters in and stands next to her mom, she is afraid of looking around but she gathers courage and raises her head, they are standing next to the bed and she can tell someone is lying on it. She looks keenly and her eyes meets her father's eyes which can barely open. Her dad was lying on the bed so sick that he could not get up at all. His drinking habit seemed to have wasted him a lot and he was now hanging on his life. His eyes were so watery and he looked so weak, he turns his head and looks at Esther directly on her eyes and Esther tries not to cry at all. Her dad smiles at her.

"It is good to see you again Esther, i never thought i could see you again since my life is no longer the same" he struggles speaking and even coughs heavily.

"His condition is worsening day by day my love, we have no other option but to take care of him at home, the doctor says he can only get the perfect treatment overseas which is not also a guarantee that he will make it for long" her mom interferes and start telling Esther all these and from the look of things Esther can really tell that they are having a hard time staying with her sick dad and it is good that she is around. Het mom leaves the room and goes back to the kitchen leaving the two of them. Esther takes a seat next to the bed and she sees a lot of drugs and medication next to the bed. Her dad can hardly speak and he takes some time trying to do so. She is atleast happy that he is still alive but she is filled with so much bitterness in her heart when she sees the only person that took care of her and loved her so much suffering and now at the edge of death.

"How have you been my little angel" her dad asks her he looks at her through the net covering his bed round.

"I am okay dad, i am sorry for everything that is going on right now" Esther feels that it is all her fault that her dad is lying sick on that bed but does not tell it to anyone. She really even wished she could go back in time and reverse everything but all this were above her ability and all she can do now is stay and look at her dad after long years of staying away from him.

"You seem to have changed a lot my angel, how is the church back their, is e everything okay" her dad notices she is in a dress and he had never seen her in a dress before. Esther hesitates and thinks of a perfect answer.
