158 His father
Dominic
After listening to Tana talked to me this morning I couldn’t wait any longer or keep sulking I picked my car key immediately as I drive down to meet my father, I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have tana by my side, she made me realize the true meaning if forgiveness,
I know my mother wronged my father and I, hell! I have her and want to have nothing to do with her, but then what’s the point of being angry with her when she’s been suffering all her life? What is the point of being angry with her? What if she does? I know that one thing is for sure, if she does without me forgiving her, I’m going to regret it for the rest of my life and I don’t think that I want to carry such burden on me yet,
I drove into my fathers mansion and did not even bother to park before coming down from the car, I walked into the mansion and was shocked to meet my father in tears, he was the only person in the living room he was sitting on the bare floor looking up to the ceiling with unending tears flowing down his cheeks,
Ever since I know my father I have never seen him close to tears of to talk of crying,
“Father?” I called making him look up to stare at me, so many emotion was running in his eyes, he didn’t say anything to me, all he didn’t was stare at me, I can see the pains in his eyes, I can see the mixed fear and emotions, I rushed towards my father and engulfed him in a very tight hug,
“Father please stop crying”
“I gave her everything I walked so hard just so she could be happy, all I wanted was time I didn’t say that I wouldn’t be rich, all I needed was time” My father lamented
“It already happened father, and everybody makes mistakes, we all have that point in our life where we wrong people”
“Are you saying I should forgive her?” He groan trying to break free from my hug but I hugged her tighter,
“Father please listen to me please” I pleaded hugging him so right as if my life depended on it while he struggle to break free
“Just look at what happened between Montana and I, after I left her for two years she still gave me another chance, she forgave me and looked past my flaws, if she hadn’t forgiven me we wouldn’t have been together by now. What about how you controlled me all my life father? It got to a point that I even shot myself but I still forgave you and accepted you back.
What if mother dies now, you’re going to regret it forever knowing you once had an opportunity to save her but you didn’t, look father you sacrifice all your life working so hard just to give me a better life, but do you realized you’ve been lonely all your life with nobody to talk to except me and the guards?
Father you need a partner to grow old with, you’re not getting any younger, you need someone to have a conversation, chat about the little things before going to bed, there’s no need to carry that burden of hatred in your heart, you’ve carried it for so long, now is time to let it go, even if you don’t want to accept her back in your life, let’s take her to the hospital and make sure that she’s alive, that way we won’t feel guilty of anything, and nothing was our fault.
We still have time to save her to avoid regretting it later” I pulled away from the hug and observed my fathers expression, be wasn’t saying anything but I know he was thinking about something and that’s how my father is,
“Father if you need some time to think about this then you can have as much time as you want, I just hope that it wouldn’t be too late by the time you make up your mind”
I stood up ready to leave, I understood my father, I wasn’t just her son. I wasn’t the one that was abandoned by his wife, I know she was the reason my father became a mafia, she was the reason why my father changed from the ones loving father to a controlling father, she made my father became the type of man he is today and I completely understand him if he does not want to forgive her,
I might have found it harder to forgive her if I was in my father’s shoes. I left my father’s house without him saying a single word to me but if there’s something I know about my father, it’s the fact that I know that he’s going to think about every single thing that I said and I hope that he changes his mind soon. Before it’s laye, I just know that if anything happens to my mother, my father will not forgive himself for the rest of his life and I do not want to see him go down that lane,© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
I drove back to the mansion and met Tana in the living room pacing about, I could tell she was waiting for me, immediately she saw me she rushed toward me looking so anxious,
“How did it go?” She asked but I couldn’t say anything, all I did was shook my head
“It’s okay, he’ll come around” She smile and walked me to the couch, I sat down while she also sat down beside me, she made me lay my head on her lap while she caress my hair lovingly
“Tana?”
“Hmmm…”
“Do you think father will forgive her?”
“Hmmm, your father loves you so much especially when he saw you wanted him to forgive her, even if he doesn’t want to I know he’s going to do it for you, so don’t worry you have forgiven her so definitely your father is going to do so too, we just have to wait a little more”
“What if it’s too late?”
“I don’t think it will, he will forgive her trust me, let’s give him time” She kissed my hair and continue to massage it while I laid back enjoying her touch.
