Chapter 11

The news of Sophia's death made her stumble back. She took the help of the couch so that she does not fall. She can't digest the fact, that her sister is no more. She didn't know how to react.

Though she betrayed her, she didn't forget their childhood, their bickering. She is still unaware of the reason for getting betrayed like that. She is still confused, how and when did her little sister change so much. She was feeling more pain for little Liliana, that poor baby had to lose her mother before knowing her. Lily knew how her sister was, but she also knew that Sophia wouldn't do any injustice to her daughter. She would have loved her so much.

"When did it happen, why...why anyone didn't informed me about this?"

"Sweetheart, I know she betrayed you, she didn't keep her promise, but lots of things have changed after you left us. We still don't know what happen before Liliana's birth. I and Christina didn't keep any contact with both Chris and Sophie. But 2 years ago suddenly Chris called us and informed us about her accident.

She was pregnant at that time and her due date was 2 weeks later when the accident occurred. They were living in Florida. So we tried our best to reach within time, but by the time when we reached, she was ...wa..s already dead"

Her father fell while crying, there were tears too in Christina's eyes. When lily heard about the word 'accident', a sudden tear fell from her left eye unconsciously, because their mom also died just like that and now Sophie. Plus, She was pregnant at that time, how hard and painful death she might be faced. Lily couldn't just stay mum and feel nothing, after all, she was her sister, her little sister.

"She was looking so pale, no baby should experience the death of her mother while she is born. You have no idea how shocked we were when we saw her at first. Bear she is the replica of you. Anyone would think that you gave birth to her, not Sophie.

At first, we thought Sophie died because of an accident but we didn't know that she was going to die eventually while giving birth."

The news made lily gasp "wha..what are you..." "We were shocked too, when Chris gave us her last message. She made videos for all of us, only Chris has all her videos. At the funeral, Chris gave us the video she shoots for us. Waiting, let me show you." Then he went to his room to bring something.

Lily was still in dazed, she was still in shock about the information she was getting.

All the time Sophie knew she was going to die, so why did she take the risk and why anyone didn't tell lily anything. Though she was upset about whatever happened between them, that hiding her own sister's death from her, it was too much to handle.

Lily realized her dad was coming with a laptop. He put it in front of her and click into some video

Hey dad, hi, how are you? It's been years since we have seen each other. I know it was my fault. Dad lots of things have changed. I know I was at fault, I not only failed as a daughter but also as a sister. I know I shouldn't have done that, I know I shouldn't have been so selfish, so desperate about some so-called popularity.

I should have been like Lily. Calm and collected. You can't be beautiful just by becoming skinny, wearing beautiful clothes, sassy attitude.

Beautiful means who is pure from heart, who knows how to love someone without any expectations, unconditionally, like Lily.

Not only I ruined our bond, but I have also created a problem between lily and Chris. If I hadn't agreed with Nathan, then our life would have been something else.

But I can't change anything and I don't want to, otherwise, I wouldn't have this bundle of joy within me. Yes, dad, I..(choke)I am a pregnant dad and it's a girl.

But...but dad I think I might not be able to raise her, I might not be able to listen to her first word, see her first step, her first smile, her adorable eyes, her playing with her dad, becoming our princess, our world.

Dad...I am dying...doctor told me when I went to the hospital for the check..she informed me that if I keep this baby then my body maybe do not support it and my body is not ready. There is a little bit chance to get pregnant. So it might be better to abort it. You know I couldn't sleep all night, how can a mother abort her child.

He was so happy when he heard about our pregnancy, he tried everything so that I can be happy, he took care of every bit of me. I know he will become the best father. I want to give this bundle of joy to him, he deserves this happiness, this much love, he needs it, he had no one except me.

I am trying everything so that I can birth my baby daughter without any problem. But the doctor gave me the ultimatum that I should be ready because there will be internal bleeding and it can happen that, we both might die. I have already told them that if anything happens to me, just save my daughter give my daughter lily. Because my daughter needs her mom, I think God also doesn't want me to be her mother.

She needs someone like lily who will teach her how to be a good person, confident about who you are, beautiful from the inside, loved by everyone, just make sure that she call lily as her mom. Because lily also reminds us of our mom by nature, she also used to love everyone without expecting anything. The only lily can give her the love, the care she deserves.

I know she is angry with me and I deserve it, but I also know she will love my baby. And please name her lily because it's mom's favorite flower.

I...Dad...I just...wanted to see my baby before death consumes me. But, I am helpless. I want to meet everyone before anything happens but I am scared that I may not able to control myself. Even he doesn't know about my condition.

So dad, if anything happens to me, please take care of my baby and him. They both need you. If I turn out to be lucky then I will meet with all of you, I will bring my baby and him.

But if it doesn't, then it will be my last message to all of you. And please, don't anything to lily if I die. I know she is happy in her world. The news of my death can become a barrier in her hard work, it may distract her from her path.

Lastly, I just wanted to say I love you, all of you.

And, there is something I want to tell lily, I have also make another video just for her. It will be with Chris. He will give it to you ...I think he is coming, he doesn't know what I am planning. So, I have to stop this recording, bye I love you...

When the clip end lily was already a crying mess. Sophie was looking so pale. It was breaking her heart, seeing Sophie like this.

How she wanted to live for her child, She looked happy, she was changed and lily can feel it by her last message.

Now she understood why she told everyone to tell Liliana about lily, being her mother. She can feel how Sophie was sorry about her old deeds. Her little sister became so matured that she risked her own life just to give him the happiness, she was talking like a real mother. If she had lived then lily was sure that Sophie would have been a good mother.

"When she died, her lawyer contact Chris, about her wish. No one thought that she will die like this. Even Chris was shocked by her wish. She even gave Liliana's custody to you beside Chris. She also made it very clear that no other woman can take her place except you.

Only, You and Chris will take all kinds of decisions that will be related to Liliana's life. No one will interfere with whatever you both think best for her. Though Chris did everything so that he can be with his daughter but every time she asked for you, her mother.

I know we all are pressuring you to do something you don't like. Even we didn't want to make you upset, about telling you this because we knew you are no longer our old lily. You have some other priorities in your life.

But she has already seen you, now it will be difficult for us to convince that poor little soul. If you leave like this it will shatter her, please sweetie just think about it, let Chris come, just talk to him and sort it out. You both now are her local guardian. If you feel that she deserves love and care then you should sort it out with Chris. Its been years darling and you both have moved on but just think about her, just for once"

For some moments she forgot about everything. She was thinking very carefully because her decision can affect not only her own life but also that little sweetheart.

She has suffered a lot from heartache, from depression for all these years. This place has changed her for good. But is she ready to accept this place, the people of here, again?

Especially the new edition in her life who is trying to connect them with whom she left for good. Will she able to make the right decision? What should she do?

Chris pov//

I was now reading my next scene which will be shoot 20 minutes later.

I was trying to be concentrate, but I don't know why I was feeling something strange? Something is going to happen. It might be my hallucination, my assumption because my mind always tells me that she will come and everything will change, everything will turn out to be good by itself.

But its been 5 years and neither she came nor anything has changed. I know now I have my baby but she also needs her mom, just like me.

There were no moments when I didn't remind her. I know I shouldn't have wait for her to come after what I did, but I am helpless. I need to sort out everything, ask her forgiveness but she was nowhere to found. Liliana didn't see her but she always misses her, always ask for her. It kills me when I can't give her any answer. I am trying my best but I can't do anything alone without her.

I was retouching my makeup then I realize my phone was vibrating. I didn't have time to pick up because the director was calling for me and I usually don't pick my phone while I am outside for shoot. But what made me pick it up today I don't know myself.

I saw that mom was calling me and she does not call usually if it's not urgent. So I pick up her call "hey mom" "Chris you have to come home right now."

The way she was talking I realize it might be something serious, a sudden fear crossed my mind, is everything ok at home? Mom, what happens, are you ok? Is my baby alright?" She didn't say anything for a moment, but when the next thing she said to me it made me stunned and I just became numb

"She is back son, Lily is back."

From now on, everything will be changed, something new is waiting for all of them. It's time for their reunion. What will happen when then will meet again? If you want to know then wait for my next update. Don't forget to follow, vote, and share my book. Thanks, bye
