She got down through the stair case and walked towards the back yard looking through the house that was hers and at the same time not. Tears in her eyes, she sat on the porch and stared blankly into the open sky.
“I was betrayed” she thought! “These people betrayed me”. Having said those words, she began to cry, cry harder. Tears of pain and sorrow tore her from within. And then she mentally began reading the same letter that brought in this sorrow.
“Dearest Daphne,
A very happy 18th birthday my dear. I hope you get everything you wish for. Daph, I never want to say this to you but I guess it’s the right time to tell you stuff so that you understand it. I don’t ever want you to think that I have hidden anything from you. And that’s the only reason, your dad and I have decided to tell this to you. Telling this to you., needs a lot of courage dear, you have to understand it.
Darling, we your dad and I have adopted you. I know this will hit you hard but you must understand that, we have never even for once seen you that way. You have brought in happiness in Steve’s and my life, and trust me we love you more than you can imagine. You gave us everything we needed, and the only we told this to you now is that you should never think we have hidden this truth from you dear.
The day you stepped into our lives, you changed it forever. And that day, we your dad and I swore to each other that no matter what, we’ll try to give you all the happiness possible in this world for you deserve it. You must understand that no matter what Daph, we will always stay by your side and yes you’ll remain our dear little daughter and we love you a lot.
Loads’ love,
Mamma”
Wondering what she must do now, she cursed her very existence. “I love them way too much, but how can I take it after all these she wondered.”
She sat there for a long time, not realizing the change in the weather. The weather now turned dark and stormy. And in no time it began to pour. As the very first droplet fell on her cheek, she got back into her sense yet she sat there getting drenched in the rain. It no longer mattered to her if she was getting cold. The rain can sometimes do miracles. It makes you realize and experience the child hidden in you.
And then she saw her, a very godly figure coming very close to her. She came to her and sat beside. She looked beautiful, she looked bold. She looked nothing less than an angel who came down to the earth for her rescue. As she spoke she put her arm lovingly around the gurl,
“ Life can sometimes be rude but then see the brighter side of it” she said. “There is no place for regrets here, dear”. “And they say, that before one dies, their life flashes before their eyes, don’t you want yours to be worth watching?” And having said that she vanished into the thin air. And at that very moment I understood what I’m supposed to do.
She got up, rushed into the kitchen where where her mum was sitting on the table obviously worried about her. Her mum was worried about her and that very thought brought tears in her eyes. she walked further and her mum still dint notice her. Daph directly went to her and hugged her tight.
“I love you mamma.” she said hugging her even closer “I love you so much. I love even dada. I just love the both of you way too much and nothing on earth can ever change that.”
Surprised and glad she hugged her back showing her they will always remain her very dear parents. And that day she learnt a greater lesson. There are much to life than just truth. Love and faith are more than anything and that’s what matters. Life is way too small for regrets and sorrow. And who knows, may be all that happens, happens for a reason.
