"I suggest that you take some rest. If you feel the need to talk more about what happened, don't hesitate to call me alright", said Grace after doing her check up on Amya. " Thank you so much Aunty. I promise to call you whenever I feel the need to talk", said Amya whilst standing up to hug her aunt. Grace received the hug gently and patted Amya's back whilst saying, "Good. But don't ever scare us like that again...I don't know what I would do if my favorite niece ever got hurt", said Grace in a broken tone. Amya knew that what happened had shaked up a lot of people including her dear sweet Aunt. Her aunt Grace was also her confidant during the time she spent here and she was the one that always consoled her whenever she fought with her mother. Grace was Amber's younger sister and it was only the two of them in the family since grandma Esme could no longer bear anymore children because of a condition. So she was like, the closest young person that Amya could confide in whenever she had trouble with her mother or when she wanted to sneak out and spend some time with Timothy. Grace was also aware of Amya and Timothy's relationship apart from Monalisa her best friend. And it really hurt her that she left her behind five years ago when she and her mother went to live in the city. Although they talked a lot over the phone, it was still not the same as seeing the person physically and hugging each other like this. And it made her more hurt, that their reunion was encountered on such bad circumstances instead of good ones. So heaving a deep breath and disengaging herself from the hug, she looked at her dear sweet aunt, who looked like a younger version of her mother and said,
"It's ok Aunty. I promise to be safe from now on and not worry you like this ever again. I promise". Grace did not reply but just shook her head in agreement. After some moments she then took hold of her medical kit and started ushering Amya downstairs since they did the check up process in Amya's bedroom. As soon as the two of them arrived downstairs everyone was already waiting in the living room and eager to hear the news about Amya's condition. Amber was the first person to ask saying, " So how is she? Is she ok?" "Don't worry sister. Our Amya is alright. And I can assure you that she will not experience any trauma due to the accident. What made her faint was the shock. So she should get some rest, and avoid driving for a while because some traumas can be triggered if something that caused the incident is resurfaced. So don't let her drive for a while until it I check up on her and see if she is alright, and deem that it is safe for her to start driving again." Replied Grace. "Oh thank you so much sister. You have no idea how worried I was. But thank heavens that she is ok", said Amber.
"Well since she is ok...is it alright if we inform the police about her being conscious, so that they could ask her the questions about what happened today?" Asked David. "Well that all depends on Amya. As I said she is alright and I don't think it will be a problem if the police came and question her about what happened", said Grace and she looked at Amya to confirm if she was ok with the idea of the police coming over to question her about the incident. "Aaaah....I don't think that... I am ready for that tonight...Right now I just want to take some rest. I think.. I should just visit the police station tomorrow and make my statement...", said Amya. "There will be no need for that my love. I am sure the police can make time to come over and see you. And they can take your statement here at the house", said David. " Yes my dear. I think it's best that you stay at home for a while and rest, until you fully recover." Said Amber. Amya did not say anything but just nodded her head in agreement with what was said. "Well since that is settled, I will be going now but I promise to come back tomorrow and spent some time with you guys along with Bobby and Brian and perhaps even stay for dinner", said Grace and she hugged Amya and Amber goodbye and gave her mother a goodbye kiss. And Amber then ushered her outside.
Amya then went back upstairs to her bedroom. She really needed to rest, because her heart's turmoil was too great that it truly made her feel tired. And she sensed that her aunt Grace also felt her conflicted emotions that's why she said that 'if she wanted to talk more, she should not hesitate to call her'. Amya truly felt grateful to be blessed with such an aunt like that. But she then contemplated on whether she will be able to open up to her about what she has discovered. The depth and the reality of the truth was like a huge mountain that has been placed inside her life and she was worried that it could crash her before she even attempts to climb over it. So how was she going to face it? Just as she was thinking about this, she felt strong arms snake around her waist, and before she knew it she was pulled into a tight embrace from the back. Amya did not need to guess who it was, as she felt him bury his head into the side her neck and begin to kiss her nape with light kisses.
"Oh my love..don't you ever scare me like that again. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you. So please.... Don't do that ever again ok. And I promise you that I am going to catch that bastard that tried to do this to you! Whoever he is, he is going to pay for trying to harm you I swear it. And I am never going to let you go. Ever again", said David and he tightened his hug on Amya indicating that he is never going to let her go again. Amya did not move or touch David but she remained still in his embrace because her heart was greatly conflicted. Instead of feeling happy that the love of her life was willing to go to any lengths to protect her from harm, she was actually filled with dread about what will happen in the future. So she was afraid to touch David with her trembling hands because he might worry and question about her condition and she did not want that to happen. She knew very well how the future was going to unfold and it was not going to be in a good way at all and it filled her with extreme fear because a lot of people are going to be greatly affected and that included her sweet boyfriend, because she can never erase the image of the person that drove past her before she crashed and she could not help but tremble in fear of the unknown of what will happen next. And her thoughts were occupied with just one word, 'WHY?'
