"My daughter, I am sorry my baby, I didn't know you were alive. You dada will come darling. Call him dada. He used to tell me that he want you to call me dada. He will be meeting you soon. We have been searching you for a long time. If Sheila did not take the risk to do the test, you will still be invisible.". They hugged for a long time. Sheila patiently waited for them to relax.
"Can we have lunch together Jane", shiela asked after some time.
"Sure we can. But we can go by 1 o clock.". Jane replied. She was sitting on the sofa holding Lea's face to her bosom, hugging her. Lea was cuddling like a small baby. May be it is for the first time she is getting her mother's smell and warmth. Whenever she think of Lea's sufferings her eyes filled with tears. But Shiela won't cry anymore. Because she know how important she is to her kids and family and Joseph. She is proud now that she can unite a family first, then Lea and parents etc.
Lea: Mamma, what is Dada's favourite food
Jane: He likes anything if it is cooked by his dear ones for him. He like Irish stew very much with brown bread. If you prefer lamb or mutton or even veggies that is okay. He need less salt. That's all.
Lea:. I will cook that for breakfast.
She turned to Sheila : Mamma who all are coming tomorrow other than Dada.
Sheila: Your dad, his parents, his sister and her family. This is what they informed us. They will be here for sometime. Fred ready arranged Jasmine Villa for them to use. It has enough rooms for all of them to accommodate. Your father has some business to do here too.
Lea: Mamma can I ask Jesse to bring Hanna tonight itself after she is back from tour?
Sheila: I will talk to her. You need not worry. It would be nice if she is there to wish her great grandparents.
Sheila turned to Jane:. Jane, have you seen your grandchild. Hanna, our little angel? You should meet her. She has gone for a picnic from school. Alan is with her. Alan is Jesse's son.
Jane: I saw her on that get together you arranged to welcome Lea and Hanna. But I never thought she is my blood Sheila... She again started crying.
Sheila: Jane, stop your tears. Had enough now. Be calm. Think on how to solve your family issues. Get rid of all those irritating things. I don't think he deserve a wife like you. You should get rid of him. He will be happy with his mistress. Leena is the thing that needs to be considered.
Jane:. Nothing to be considered. She is disowned already. Our PR made the necessary actions and legal administration. Only thing left is my divorce.
Lea doesn't want to interfere in Jane's family issue. She even don't want to let others know about this fearing Edward would harm her.
They had lunch together. Though Lea asked her mamma to be present there, she said she will come some other time. She is familiar to every member of his family and they all like her but... She is in no mood for a gathering now and she has a plenty of things to sort out. Deep in her hurt, an urge to live for Lea and Hanna was strong and that powered her actions to get rid of Edward.
---------------------------------------------------------
Edward was thinking of handing over power to his illegitimate son but everything was destroyed because of his own carelessness. Now he has nothing. Nothing means nothing. Edward went to his mistress after this incident but she was angry for having a relationship with his own flesh and blood. She scolded him and asked him to go out. Leena was insulted everywhere she went and she could no longer stand this.
Both Father and daughter were in trouble. But not at all sorry for what they have done. Edward now has only one feeling. Revenge.....
Leena too wanted that.
Why people are like this? Even though it is clear to them that they are really in the wrong, they seek revenge... Is it because God makes them blind towards truth?????
Huh.....
===============================
Lea is happy now. For the first time, she fell into the embrace of her mother. Tomorrow she is going to meet her father. Earlier she used to be angry to her parents. Now she know it was not their mistake and they were not even aware about her existence. They are back now to own her. Dadda's full family is there. Of course she find it difficult to pronounce the word dadda. She is used to calling mum because she is addressing Sheila in the same way. But she calls joseph and dad and dadda seems to be sooo childish. But she decided to call him so.
After knowing what happened with her parents, she decided to take care of her dadda. She know how much he suffered. Just like her, without wife and daughter. Even Lea had the support of her husband and family. She never ever though her father is suffering like this.
Hanna came that evening along with Jesse. Hanna was very happy to know that her maternal grandfather is coming to meet her and mum.
The whole family of Desmond is coming and the stay for them has been arranged in Joseph's villa nearby.
