Aunt Stella sees Eddie unmoving with eyes closed. She carefully opened the door and walked slowly not to make a sound.
She approached the unmoving Eddie on the bed her face pale almost white like snow all the blood had been drained from her body.
Her lips were chapped and dry.
Tears streamed down Stella's eyes. She leaneddown and pressed a kiss on her forehead.
A little drop of tears accompanying the kiss.
Eddie felt touched deep in her soul aunt Stella has always been a mother figure to her although she didn't know her mother.
Aunt Stella has filled to all those void spaces deep down in her heart.
Jaydin and James entered the room and watched aunt Stella showering her motherly love to the sleeping Eddie.
James felt sorry for her unfortunately her children and husband are all unworthy of her love. She laboured all through day and night but went in vain.
Auntiee...
Eddie heard James voice he is also there and that means Jaydin to his.
Auntiee....
She is asleep let's stay by the corner of the room and not disturb her.
Aunt Stella nodded her head and left th3 sleeping Eddie alongside side with Jaydin and James to the corner of the room.
Everywhere was dead silent. Eddie confused of why the room is so silent. She wanted to wake from her pretence...
Auntiee don't you think Eddie should know ? She is now grown up. She's no longer little and naive.
It's going to break her James. She's going to be so broken. Aunt Stella replied shaking her head.
James nodded his head. I do agree. But I wonder which one would hurt her more. The fact that out mother died by the hands of John and Sophia' S doing...
Our mother...Eddie responded in her head.
Or the fact that we've kept it hidden that we know each other since I was a little boy ...or the fact that we are siblings who couldn't live tog ether.
