It was still very difficult for
to believe that this was really happening. However, if that lady is really Alia’s mother, then she wouldn’t be joking about sothing as serious as this, would she?
Hayden was already driving fast along the road when the Bluetooth of his car system began calling Harvey again. The line connected almost imdiately.
"Where are you now?" Hayden asked with his eyes still focus on the road.
I had a feeling that this was going to be a ride filled with speed and thrills when Hayden took a sharp U-turn.
"On the way. If you speed, we’ll get there at roughly the sa ti," Harvey replied.
"See you soon. Try your best not to cry before you see her," Hayden teased before the line disconnected.
The car was already going fast but Hayden truly stepped harder on the accelerator. The ride to Alia’s mansion passed by almost in silence with both Hayden and I wrapped up in our own thoughts. I didn’t want to talk to Hayden at the speed that he was driving because I wanted him to focus on the road ahead. This must be fate, for Alia to wake up from her deep and long slumber on this day.
Sothing deep inside of
told
that things were about to change for the four of us.
When we arrived at the mansion, it seed like the place was frozen in ti. Nothing seed to have changed about it including the vibe that I got the first ti that I was there. Hayden quickly got out of the car before helping
out as well. I appreciated how beautiful this dress made
look, but at that mont, I wished that the skirt wasn’t so long or so heavy.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t anyti for
to change out of my wedding dress. Hayden helped carry my skirt once again as we made our way to the entrance of Alia’s mansion.
Like the last ti, the staff greeted us warmly; however, this ti, the staff had an astonished and very confused look on her face. Regardless, she did not inquire why we were dressed like we had just gotten married. Upon Hayden’s request to be led to see Alia, the staff understood imdiately and led us to her room before leaving us alone.
"Where’s Harvey?" I asked in a whisper.
"He can find his own way here, don’t worry," Hayden replied calmly before he pushed the door to Alia’s room opened.
I guess now wasn’t the ti to worry about the staff and the confusion that she would undoubtedly feel to see another Hayden walk into the mansion after she had just greeted Hayden and
not so long ago.
Alia wasn’t alone in the room when we entered. In fact, there was a man who was dressed in a doctor’s gown there along with a few nurses in their white uniforms. I gasped when I saw Alia was sitting up in her bed instead of lying down like all the tis that I’ve seen her before. She looked pale and weak, but even then, she still looked very composed and very beautiful.
Everything about her reminded
of a frail doll, and for a mont, I couldn’t stop staring at her.
Slowly, Alia’s face turned to face us when she noticed that we had entered her room. Her tired face lit up into a bright smile when she saw Hayden.
"Hayden…" she whispered in a soft yet very angelic voice.
"Alia…" Hayden whispered her na.
He was by the side of her bed in no ti at all. It was a difficult scene for
to watch and my feelings were mixed. Although they were not lovers, it was clear that they shared a special connection. Alia smiled sweetly at Hayden as he took her hands in between his. The two of them did not speak as if they could communicate without the use of words. Perhaps, they really could.
I stood to the side to give them so personal space while the doctor and the nurses did the sa. The scene in front of
was very heartwarming. Alia smiled although she seed disorientated and confused while Hayden’s presence seed to help calm and reassure her. He whispered sothing to her that I couldn’t hear, and her eyes widened as if in surprise.
"Harvey…" she said quite clearly before a single tear rolled down her cheek and she smiled.
At that mont, as if on cue, the door to her room opened with a slam and there stood Harvey. Hayden approached the Harvey imdiately and yanked on his brother’s arm. I watched as Harvey was dragged towards Alia’s bed. It seed like he was too stunned to do anything right when he saw that Alia had indeed regain consciousness.
"Harvey…" Alia called his na before smiling sweetly at him.
"Alia…you’re awake…" Harvey said as he clutched at her hand.
I guess it must have been hard for him to believe that his wish had finally been fulfilled. His Alia was back with him at long last. Hayden ca to stand by my side before he took my hand and smiled down at . I guess we could communicate without speaking as well. I fully understood how he felt, and I shared his joy effortlessly as we watched the touching reunion between Alia and Harvey.
"Sorry…for keeping you waiting…" Alia apologized with her angelic smile.
Although she was crying and her face was tired, her smile was even more beautiful than any photo or any painting of her that I had seen before. Harvey pulled her gently into his arms and they embraced each other lovingly. I prayed that those two will never have to part like that again.
After having had their fill of their reunion, Alia seed to realize her surroundings again and her eyes fell on Hayden and then on . She cocked her head to the side in curious wonder.
"That’s Hayden and that is Malissa, his wife," Harvey introduced us teasingly when he saw where Alia was looking.
