Chapter 178 - You Are His Pride!
"Valentina..." Amelia called as she cupped Valentina\'s face in her hands and amde her look up at her.
"Look... I know, it was so hard for you but he is no more in our lives... You need to forget about everything and move on... Yes, it will be so hard for you... But... Was not it for me? It was so hard for me too... I still couldn\'t forget it but still, I could do nothing about all those... Whatever happened is happened. He won\'t come back to us. Maybe, we won\'t know why he used to abuse us in this life time... But still, he will alwyas have a special places in our hearts." Amelia said and Valentina nodded her head in yes.
"There is a special place for him in my heart. I don\'t care for whatever the reason he used to abuse me... But... He is the person, that made me today as Valentina Jackson. If not him, not caring about mee and studies then I don\'t think, I would be here..." Valentina replied and Amelia nodded her head.
"Yes... He didn\'t look after you as caringly... But he took your responsibility and made you learn everything in this life without his knowing and today, I am sure that he is so proud of his daughter!" Amelia said making Valentina shook her head in no.
"No... No, Mom. Don\'t say that. He will never be proud of me because he never likes me from the day I born... Heck, not even when you pregnent with me. I thought, the reason that he never likes me because I am a girl... But I don\'t think, it\'s the reaon that made him don\'t like me." Valentina said making Amelia frown.
"Huh? I don\'t think, there is any another reason... He always says that I am a girl but he wanted a boy for his empire." Amelia replied and Valentina shook her head in no.
"No, mom... I don\'t think so. He might be lying too. We don\'t know anything... I really do think, there is some mystery in this. He used to abuse you even before you got pregnant... Why would he do that? What was the reason?" Valentina asked making Amelia frown.
"No... There might an another reason that he might hate me... But I don\'t think, there is no one other reason to hate you, love. Yoga re just so perfect and beautiful. Why would he hate you for nothing?" Amelia asked and Valentina shook her head.
"No, Mom... You are just telling me this to make me not suffer myself... But I know, there is something... But if you know please do tell me... Because it\'s something that I want to know and that makes me feel like... I am wanted but for some reason I should have be away from my parents... I would be happy knowing that it\'s not the reason he hate me because I am a girl... I do not wnat that to be a silly reason." Valentina answered making Amelia take a depe breath and she wiped her her tears and Valentina\'s.
Amelia held Valentina\'s shoulders and made her stand on her feet.
"First... Sit down..." Amelia said as she made Valentina sat down on the bed.
Amelia grabbed the glass of water from the table and forwarded it to Valentina.
"Have it!" Amelia said and Valentina took a deep breath before she took the glass of water from her and gulped it down in one go.
"You feeling better now?" Amelia asked and Valentina nodded her head.
"Good. Lay down." Amelia said making Valantina frown at her.
"Lay down..." Amelia said making Valentina sigh and she laid back down.
Amelia laid on the bed beside Valentina and took her in her arms. She kissed Valentina\'s forhead and smiled at her wiping off her tears away from her eyes.
"These tears won\'t suit for this beautiful face!" Amelia said making Valentina sigh.
"Mom... This is not the topic that you need to ignore it. You will ignore it now... But until when you will ignore it? I am sure there is something but you ate not at all telling me about anything and that is making me go crazy!" Valentina replied making Amelia take a deep breath.
"Valentina... What will you do if there is some other reason?" Amelia asked making Valentina frown.
"He is no more. Then it should be buried deep down our soul\'s. It doesn\'t matter what was the reason anymore. It just, we can\'t do anything about it even knowing it... But just to suffer ourselves more and more. I did love him... There are some misunderstandings between us... That we never cleared. Maybe... He doesn\'t want to clear it out and never gave me a chance to explain it." Amelia said as she took a deep breath.
"Things happened with me too... There were none with me to share this with anyone. I was all alone... I couldn\'t take it... I tried my best to make him understand this is not how it works... But he is man who never listen to me... I am just there to make him satisfy and love him. Thats it! As a woman... That was my only responsiblity in this home when it comes to him." Amelia said as a tear falls down from her eye.
"Well... I never tried to talk back to him either... He used to look so dangerous... I used to get do scared... He would have been so cruel at nights with me... But still, used to take care of me... I wouldn\'t have understood him... He give me pain but at the same time... He look after me and tries to take away the pain he gave me..." Amelia said as she took a deep breath.
"He is so different... Really so different from everyone. Maybe... He is the only man in this world like him... But... I have got another to see in the form of you! You are his blood. You are his daughter. You are his Pride. You are everything for him." Amelia said making Valantina Chuckle.
"Come on, Mom... What are you talking about? If I am his pride then he won\'t even call me by names... From the day I born... But he did... He was so cruel... I don\'t know why he is like that... If he loves you... Then why he is cruel to you? If he wants you, why he behaved like a cruel person... Maybe... You are so blind in his love to see the another world he has... If I am his pride... He won\'t call me a bitch..." Valentina said as she took a deep breath.
"He started hating me... No, he started hating you and then... Even after I born... It continued... The reason is still unknown. If he really doesn\'t like me as a girl... Then... It\'s fine... I will understand that... But if there is some other reason... Then, I am not letting anything go... If he himself made him like this then it\'s fine but if there is someone else behind this, then I will find the one and make them suffer for being a reason to make my dad this cruel..." Valentina said making Amelia sigh.
"Valentina... Everything is over... There is nothing left now... People are so bad... They don\'t care about anyone else other than themselves... They doesn\'t care if anything happens to their close families or friends. They just don\'t... Either they try make them alright! This is how it is." Amelia replied making Valentina sigh.
"Mom... Do you know one thing... Seeing you talk like this... I feel like... There is something to this... That I don\'t have any idea about. I don\'t know why, but I really do feel like there are things that you are keeping away from me... I don\'t know if you are keeping them away from me because I shouldn\'t hurt or you might think that, I will hate you again... But just know that... I am here to talk whenever you want to... Because now, you have me... Your daughter. Well... I might be hurt... But I won\'t hate you again... No matter what, until... You try to explain me the situation you were in... Or Dad were in!" Valentina said as she looked into Amelia\'s eyes and she took a deep breath.
"Thank you so much for understanding... I hope, you get to know about thinsg when times comes... I don\'t think, I am in a state of losing anyone right now... Not anyone... But you! I need you... I have lost you for many years... But now, I am not going to take any risk with anything. Whatever was happened in the past... Will be a... Past!" Amelia replied looking into Valentina\'s eyes.
"I don\'t think, we should talk about this for more... It\'s better if we let go of these things right now... To Not to get hurt... In anyway... It was already enough for us to go through all the worst all these years... It\'s us now... Only us." Amelia said as she took Valentina close to her chest and kissed her hair.
"This is us. I love you. Please don\'t leave this mom ever." Amelia said and Valantina looked up at her in eyes and smiled.
"I won\'t. I promise you." Valentina replied making Amelia smile brightly.
