"IT DEPENDS UPON THE SITUATION,SOMETIMES YOUR BIGGEST STRENGTH BECOME YOUR WEAKNESS..."
RACHEL POV
"So you people are saying that they have committed such a huge mistake which cannot be forgotten or forgiven?" Mrs Emily King finally spoke after listening to our pitiful life stories and what happened on this Halloween. I must say this was the worst festival of the year. We all were assembled around her and tried to find the solution to our problems.
"This is not like that. First they let us go, they didn't even care about us, they never talked to us and suddenly they wanted to be a HAPPY FAMILY which we used to behave with them twice a year."Jessica sighed."now why are they being so concerned about us"she further added.
"Exactly a family where people consist of no importance, where money is the motive of living suddenly an accident taught them that they were neglecting their daughter and asking for forgiveness to alter all their mistakes."Alana joined in.
"Everybody deserves a second chance and they are your parents after all who they gave birth to you, I agree they did the wrong thing but there is no mistake in the world which cannot be forgiven. If a parent can forgive too many mistakes of their children why can't their children forgive one damn mistake." Mrs Emily explained.
"I know she is my mother who gave birth to me, just for leaving me in an orphanage on her lame excuse then from nowhere she showed up one day and told me that I am the reason for my father's death so she can turn a normal person into a psychopath."I spat
"Rachel, Parents may say they hate us but trust me they never mean it, they are the reason that you all are here and become so strong and confident, if they are saying that they felt guilty of whatever they did so they deserve a chance to modify it"she said.
"But why do they hide the biggest truth of my life? What's the reason behind that... First my Brother then my Mother? I just can't tolerate that she left me six months ago and they didn't even inform me why?" Krystal Barked.
"You are right krystal they did wrong but there is also a reason behind that you can't think from their sight, they must have thought that you have been suffered a lot and deserved to be happy so that's why they didn't bother to ruin your happiness"she explained.
"No matter how much you say you hate your family...when they die you will definitely tear up and at that point you will realise that whatever you said,felt and thought about them it wasn't true it was just the anger which was making you believe that you hate them and then you will start regretting not giving them another chance"she further added.
"You are right, Mrs Emily I really don't know why my parents sacrifice their life when I really needed them but my heart hurts listening that they are not with me and coz of me"Candice said sadly.
"It wasn't your fault sweatie, they give up their life for your coz they love you and if you love someone that much you can die for them your parents want you to live your life to the core". she explained wonderfully.
"I said what I felt was right,the decision will be yours but don't forget that your decision will either build a family or it will destroy it completely"she said finally standing up from her chair and moving out from the room.
We fived were tensed like someone handed us an Airplane and we have to fly it without getting any instruction but after all we have to do it so without wasting any more time we decided to give ourselves some peace and time to think from our heart and mind so we went to our secret spot.
JESSICA POV
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PREFECT FAMILY...BUT THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A HAPPY SAD FAMILY"
It's been a while since I was thinking and finally I reached to the conclusion that I want them I really wanted them, Yeah! I was the one saying that I am Independent and I can't live with them in a same roof but in all these years there is not a single day passed when I didn't craze for their love and attention and the day they arrived I just felt so happy inside me, my heart started dancing, It will be difficult but it is not impossible.. We packed our bags and went to our house when my mother open the door her happiness covered all the boundaries and she immediately hug us my dad was crying but happily this time.
"What you guys will not welcome us" I said on which they smiled and we all laughed... This was the family reunion I was waiting for since long
CANDICE POV
"DON'T BLAME THOSE WHO LEFT YOU WHILE PROTECTING YOU"
"I miss you mum and dad" I said while my tears couldn't stop coming out. After thinking a lot, I got here to the Tombstone of my parents for the first time asking for forgiveness.
"I am sorry mum and dad for thinking that you didn't love me, For not asking about how you people died, For every single thing, Especially for coming late, but now I will make you proud, You both sacrificed your life for me because you wanted me to live my life to its fullest right, I will just do that I will never disappoint you from now, I will make your sacrifice worth it. I love you and I miss you and I promise you that your daughter will be a great dancer"I said and put some flowers on Tombstone and left, after a long time I felt at ease.
ALANA POV
"SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS HAPPENS TO MAKE U REALIZE THAT U WERE WRONG"
I finally get my answer of the most toughest question in my life. I am ready to give a chance to my parents, I don't know that they really feel guilty or not but I really love them and I don't want to miss the chance of going back to them when I went to my Mansion I saw everything was decorated beautifully and there was a huge sign hanging saying "WELCOME ALANA"I was overwhelmed. My parents were standing near the door when I went towards them they didn't say a word and just hug me I started crying I felt like I got my happiness back we had a family dinner where nobody was talking about their business and gossip I was the centre of attraction. They were asking about my college and I felt like finally everything is going back to fine.
KRYSTAL POV
"A LONG TIME REUNION SHOULD BE FULL OF SMILES, HUGS, FORGIVENESS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HUMOROUS STORIES... "
After thinking a lot I went to Alex and told him that I want to meet dad, he was happy knowing that I forgive him but I really want to meet dad coz if I had lost my mother and I am in pain so he has lost the love of his life and he must be mourning more than me. When we went home I saw that he was sitting on his usual chair and seeing our complete family photo with tears in his eyes seeing him like that me and Alex went hurriedly towards him and hugged him from back.
"Krystal, Alex you here"dad was delighted. "I missed you dad" I said hugging him "and mum to"I said seeing towards the picture of her "I am sorry krystal your mum and I did very wrong to you but we are very guilty for that, your mum gone taken this burden on her heart that you didn't forgive her but I don't want to do like that please forgive me"dad pleaded.
"It's okay dad you did what you thought was right for me and that was my dark fast I don't want to talk about it, Anyway you are not going anywhere not before seeing alex having 7 kids"I said with the brightest smile.
"Hey don't push your own wish on me girl"Alex said being annoyed.
"Come on Alex, tell us if you have a girlfriend"I said, teasing him.
"If I have one I will not be calm like this and let's talk not about this now I think everything is sorted and the credit goes to me" Alex said, raising his collars while we were watching him looking like an idiot.
"What did you do?"I asked.
"I came in search of you, I told you the truth and I was the one we brought you here again" he said proudly.
"You come in search for me because you are so desperate to meet your little sister and you tell me the truth because I deserve to know that ok, you did nothing to make me come back and from what I see after you told me everything there was a zero chance of me coming back credit goes to miss Emily and One and Only Me for making the right decision"I replied.
"Ok fine, I lose by the way is it necessary to answer with the whole damn speech Everytime" he said teasing me back on which dad burst into laugh looking him laughing like that my heart was at ease and my decision of coming back turning out the most rightful decision I have made till yet.
RACHEL POV
"WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO YOU REALIZING THEIR MISTAKE AND ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS,MAKE SURE NOT TO SEND THEM EMPTY HANDED"
I was standing outside my house hesitated a bit while. I finally decided to give another chance to my mother it's difficult for me but I love challenges and I have gone through a lot so I will try atleast and I will make sure to succeed in it I was feeling awkward going to my own house after these all years, The first thing came in my mind was my dad's funeral and all the other incidents happened after. I knocked on the door and my mum got shocked seeing me.
"Rachel sweetie !"She couldn't complete her sentence and hugged me tightly like there's no tomorrow.
"Mom it's awkward we are at our porch"I said realising the situation.
"Oh sorry! come in"she said wiping her tears when we went in I saw many of our family pictures which were taken when I was young are hanging on the wall which made me smile.
"You have forgiven me sweetie?"she asked.
"It was hard for me to forgive you immediately but I will try my best to behave nicely with you and Time has the power to heal the painful wound and so it will take time to cure that wound"I replied honestly.
"It's okay darling I am just happy that you considered that I deserve the second chance"she said happily.
"I am happy that fate gave me a chance to live a normal life and after waiting so long I see what happiness means" I said with a smile.
