Chapter 30 (the end)
Third person's POV :
They arrived home and when the door opened , she found her new family waiting for her
" welcome back love , we missed you " said Nona
" I missed all of you too"
" it's good to have you here again"
" thank you Mr Elfonso "
" oh no, from now on call me father or pops " she smiled back , this time she knew that this was it , she did find her happiness " oh , i'm so excited , I have a sister now" Belle jumped to hug her new sister " aaw" Ilayda felt a slight pain
" ooh , sorry sorry "
"it's okay "
" alright now everyone , Ilayda needs rest "
" wait " she started looking around " where is your mother ? "
He took a deep breath and sat down in front of her " when you were still in the hospital , I started thinking about everything that happened this last few month , then I started thinking about my mother and the way she behaves, and something seemed wrong , so I spoke to one of the doctors there in the hospital , and I kind of forced mother to take a test " he stood silent for a moment " and..."
" and it turns out she has schizophrenia , that's why she was being bad at times than good in other times , that's why she did what she did , she wasn't thinking, so I spoke with the doctor he said that she needs to be treated because she can be a danger not only to others but to herself too and of course with the hole family's agreement we decided to take her to this center where she will be getting all the help she needs. "
" and how is she doing now ?"
" she just started her treatments but she is still refusing the idea that she is sick"
"and w-
"lets' stop talking about this for now, you need to rest because you still didn't heal completely , and when you're alright I'll answer all your Questions alright? "
" alright , I'll sleep for awhile "
she started rolling her wheelchair toward her room but Chris stopped her " where are you going ? "
" to my room you said I need to get rest"
" yes I now but your room is not there anymore "
" what do you mean ? "
" from now on your room will be upstairs more specificely next to my room"
"but-
" no buts , come I'll help you "
Two weeks later " ILYDA , no I told you so many time you are going to wear the red dress"
"but Belle, I don't want to "
" believe me you'll look good in it, trust me "
" I don't even know why your brother is taking us out , we can just stay home and have an amazing evening "
"Ilayda , I swear I'm two minutes away from throwing those heels on your face"
" fine , fine whatever"
"oh now would you look at this , seriously , and you didn't want to wear it"
" really , you don't think it's too much ? "
" No, it's perfect "responded the voice that she's been longing to here the hole day
" i'm leaving , I need to get ready"
" hey " said Ilayda in a shy voice " Hi baby, you look amazing , I always keep wandering what I did in this life to deserve someone like you "
"I keep wandering the same thing" she smiled " kids are you ready " his father poke his head from the door
" DAD , way to ruin the mood seriously"
"son you'll have plenty of time to kiss her just get on with it"
" not when your around"
" let's go " she held his hand and went to the front door
" ahhh , Nona you look amazing , where were you hiding all this beauty "
" oh ,stop it silly , you look wonderful honey , Chris you better keep an eye on her "
"Always Nona"
"Come we are getting late"
Arriving at the restaurant "Why is the place empty?"
"I reserved it just for us, because i didn't want anyone to disturb us, come"
"Didn't know you had it in you bro" Belle earned a smack on the head for that.
they all sat down , and soon enough the music started to play
"Will you do me the honor miss?"
"Of course"
They started dancing to the rhythm of the music soon Maribelle and her new boyfriend jack (the bodyguard) joined and followed by Mr. Elfonso and Nona, everyone was happy, smiling and laughing, it felt like an eternity since anyone of them laughed.
After dancing, the dinner was served but before they started eating, Chris stood up " everyone , before you start eating , and I try to make this short because I know some of you are really hungry " he looked at his sister who rolled her eyes " I just want to take a second to tell this beautiful woman sitting next to me , how much I love her , and how much she means to me "
He took her hand and she stood up in front of him
" Ilayda , before you came into my life , I had no purpose, I was lost, I didn't know what to do with my life, but then you came and everything changed, you were the sunshine who light up my hole life after a long time of darkness . The moment I saw you for the very first time will be stuck into my memory till the end of the days because it was the evening when the course of my life radically changed its direction. I love dreaming with you because you understand me as nobody would ever understand. I love being ill if I know that you will be near and take care of me.I want to wake up and see you first thing in the morning , and i want to spend the rest of my life with , because I swear I can't imagine having it with someone else other than you"
Tears started forming in her her eyes " so Ilayda will you be my Mrs Elfonso forever, in this life and other life to come"
" YES , YES, a million times yes " he slide the ring in her finger AS soon as she said yes the sky light up with the most beautiful fireworks she ever saw " ready for a life time with me Mrs Elfonso ? " he said while holing her in her arms " ready Mr Elsonso"
