"Dad, what are you saying? How it's your fault? You have done nothing wrong!" Johnson said as he sighed but Robert shook his head in no.
"I just, Johnson. I did a lot. It's my fault that I didn't cared about Stephen... Well, at least I never tried to know what how he is doing in his life... Most importantly, didn't tried to know if he has a family or not!" Robert said.
"Dad..." Johnson called but Robert still shook his head in no.
"No... It's my fault to not really care about him. What kind of a brother I am? How did I really thought that he will co around and one day he will regret whatever he had decided to do in his life? And... I just, let him go so easily?" Robert asked as he squinted his eyes at Johnson.
"Do you know how much your grandmother had cried for him? How much she wanted him to co back ho? But, I never once... Tried to know where he is either... Now, I regret that I didn't kept track on my brother." Robert said as he took a deep breath and Johnson stared at Samantha who was listening to Him.
"She doesn't know that she had another daughter in law... And grand children. And... She lost two of them already. Her daughter in law and her grand son. Her son is behind the bars." Robert said as a tear falls down from his eyes.
"It's hard to say this for ... Imagine how much she would have gone through... How much she will be hurt after knowing everything." Robert said as his heart ached.
"Your mother... She wanted to look after Stephen. But, I didn't. I am sure, she had her eyes on Stephen as long as she was alive. What a pure hearted woman she was!" Robert said as he wiped off his tears away from his eyes.
"The thing is... I don't even know Stephen's wife but, I had been involved in her funeral ceremony. What a small world it is to bring you all around when you don't even know each other but we had ended up as a family." Robert said as he looked away while another year falls down from his eye.
He tried so hard to not let his tears fall down from his eyes but, he can't help it... It hurts his heart so much... He just, can't take in whatever had happened. It's really so hard to digest all the things that has happened in all these years.
"It was all my fault the way, Stephen had turned out to be a ruthless Criminal. His family was on street. One of his son followed his steps... And ruined a Girl's life but..." Robert said as he looked at Samantha who was staring at Him back.
Samantha saw how blood shot red his eyes are... Which says how much pain he is going through and how much his heart hurts right now.
She took a deep breath as she looked into his eyes.
"But, That girl ca out as strong as one can imagine." Robert completed his sentence and Samantha gave him a small smile.
Johnson smiled at them seeing how much Robert loves Samantha. Not as a daughter-in-law but as his own daughter.
It was so overwhelming to see them like this and he is sure that, they both will beco much more closer to each other and share a beautiful bond together.
"Samantha, I am ashad right now... In front of you. I am not asking you to forgive but I really want to apologise you. I'm sorry. All these is my fault. Because of my negligency, you have been went through a lot.
I am really so sorry." Robert apologied and Samantha shook her head as she took his hand in her small warm hands.
"Dad, You did nothing wrong to apologise to . You were at no fault. For whatever had happened, You aren't the reason for this. I don't really know... What happened and how things went for you. But, I can understand, it was hard for you back then.
But don't be ashad when you did nothing wrong." Samantha said and Johnson nodded his head.
"You need to let go of this. Because it will only keep hurting you more and more of you don't. You had to let go of the past and now, Has to look forward for the future. And about your mom... You need to tell her everything. You all need to be strong enough to make her understand." Samantha said as she stared into Robert's eyes.
"No, Samantha... My mom, She didn't even know how Her daughter in law and Her grandson was... She will be really shaful to know that her grandson had done sothing to you and almost killed you." Robert replied as he looked down.
"Dad, I Hated Leo... A lot. Because, he made my life a living hell. It was not easy for to get out of whatever had happened... It was hard. I was scared whenever the sun started setting...
Because, It will beco night and i had to bed. But, I can't sleep peacefully for not even a night. Every night, I used to have nightmares if I don't take pills and I was getting sick of taking pills every night." Samantha said and Robert nodded.
"I cursed Leo to death every single day... Because of the way I am suffering. But, I never wanted him to die. I wanted him to change. But unfortunately, He was dead for . Still, I couldn't get him out of my head even for once.
I wanted him to know what real love is. I wanted him to know that love is not sothing that you can get out of abusing soone and beat the shit out of them." Samantha said as tears rolled in his eyes.
"Even after all... Whatever he did to ... I wished to keep his child. But, He took that child away from with the na called Love." Samantha said as another tear falls down from her eyes.
"But, Now... I am pregnant again... I never thought I will be. But I think... The almighty might giving ... And you an another chance in the form of this baby in my womb." Samantha said with a bright smile as a tear falls down making Robert blink his eyes at her.
