Chapter 21: Chapter 21
We arrive at Allan's house and announce the good news to Taylor and madam priscille. She seems glad and thanks me for giving this chance to Allan before he goes. Is strange to say it but in reality, I prefer that my child has a father who is dead but kept in our minds good memories than a father who only knows how to lie and deceive.
After a moment of joy, I get to the kitchen with Taylor before she asks me why I said all that. I explain everything to her before she apologizes to me.
Some days go on and we are all busy with the wedding, and with the future and long arrival of the baby. And as the days go, I am more excited to see my baby and my stomach taking a big shape.
Derick has gone from my life, leaving me and my baby… is preferable! Taylor and I enter with many bags from our shopping before the maid of the house hurry and call for us.
" Miss Nomsi, please come up… please."
" What is happening Kate?" Taylor ask.
" Is Mr. Blaise!"
" What?" I ask.
I said running fastly up leaving all the bags on the ground.
I come up and see Allan on his bed with Madam priscille beside him. My heart beats accelerate and fear invades me rapidly when seeing him practically unable to breathe well and with his face pale as snow, madam priscille is crying...why? I come closer to Allan.
" You...you seem not fine, let us call for a doctor and where are your medicines, have you taken them? I ask anxiously.
" No… need… Lea." He says before coughing hardly.
Am very afraid, I have a very bad feeling. My God, what is happening? Madam Priscille gets out with Taylor.
" Allan, what is happening? I don't like that. Why do you not want to call a doctor? Wait I will do it." I say.
I go to take the phone but he holds my hand. I feel chills feeling his hand cold touching my skin, no I don't like that… I don't like that. He is not well, he is very cold, and seems he is shaking. Tears begin running from my eyes when I realize what is happening.
" I have to go Lea!" Allan says while smirking a little.
" But...but… is too early," I say already crying.
I sit gently beside him and hold his hand.
" Yes, but I can't go without telling you to leave a place for forgiveness in your heart… pro…( cough) protect this baby," he said while caressing my stomach.
" I will protect my baby. But I can't forgive...let's ( sob) let's not talk about this now. I… I want you to fight." I said laying my head on his chest. " Don't leave me, Allan, don't go, stay with meeee!" I say crying with limits.
" Tell me what I want to hear! (cough) tell me!" He asks with difficulty.
" I… I… was far from you… and now...near your heart, who am I? Guess."
" La...la…( cough hardly) lady Lea!" He says difficulty while caressing my cheek slowly.
It was our favorite line, and he wanted us to say it for the last time. I keep crying, shedding tears, and lying back on his chest. I couldn't hear his heart beating anymore, in my head it was over, I'll never see my best friend again. He's gone forever. I was not ready for it. I get up and see him with his eyes closed on his bed, we have the impression that he is sleeping but yet ... yet he is dead, my Allan is dead.
" ALLANNNNNNNN!!!!!!. Get up please.!" ALLANNNNNNNN!!!"
Taylor and madam Priscille come and calm me while sobbing too. But I couldn't stop, it was too early he had more time. I wasn't prepared for that yet!
" Don't leave me now, and our marriage and our plans and our… and our…" I say crying.
I close my eyes slowly only hearing Taylor's voice asking me to open my eyes and finally didn't hear anything else.
So this is the ending of my story? Everybody is there, in glasses and black clothes to rest the body of my Allan who is now in his coffin and will never get up again to say hello, to tease me, or to make me laugh. The prayer is over and we throw flowers on his grave leaving a wish of rest for him. Life gives you and takes you back, it kills and gives birth. I cry without stopping because I lost a friend, more… a brother. We are a form of selfishness because yes! We say that death allows us to rest, and to mourn the death of someone is refusing that the person should rest, then if it is the case, yes I am selfish... I want him to come back, that he makes me laugh, that we dance together, that we cry together, that we plan everything together, yes I want my Allan and if he doesn't come back then I want to join him. If I hadn't met Derick before, I'm sure I would be happy with Allan right now and he would never have left. But I was stupid not to love him and today I am crying in front of his grave. Goodbye, Allan!
A few months later, I come back to his grave and at least now, instead of crying, I tell him about my day as I did before. I show him how rounded my stomach is during these last 7 months and I laugh with him as if he was still here. For me it's the way to mourn, I will never forget you Allan Blaise because just like love, you remain unforgettable in my eyes.
THE END!!!!!!
Finally, the end of this first part. So tell me do you think love could be a matter of time?
