Chapter 75 She Has Suffered Enough
“I know where her anger is coming from. I can take all the insults but she mentioning my child is something I can not take,” Ana said. As she disengaged from the hug and looked at Emiliano.
Emiliano sighs “I know, but forget she said all that. Let her be for some time then another day you can tell her how you feel”
Ana nodded
Nala sighed as she also comforted her sister.
The next day, Ana and Emiliano went for work and also dropped Thea at school. It was just Nala and their mother at home.
While they were having breakfast, Nala brought up what happened yesterday between Ana and their mother.
“Mother, about yesterday you were wrong to have said all that to Ana. Do you realize that she has suffered so much too. Do you realize she is in more pain than any of us is?”
“She should be, after all it was all her fault” Griselda said.
“So you mean to say that it was her fault that a crazy person sent people to put our house on fire!! Do you realize that she was also kidnapped that day too and almost lost her child if not for Emiliano!!”
“I do not want to discuss it” Griselda said in anger.
"Of course we have to discuss it!! She has suffered a lot. Look at the way we are living now, everything we have now. We even got the opportunity to do surgery after we got burnt. And everything we have now is because of Ana's sacrifice and hard work”
“This is the least she could do after putting us in that situation!” Griselda faired back, she was already getting irritated with the conversions
Nala was livid “Then hasn’t she done enough, hadn't she paid enough? Why can’t you just find a place in your heart to forgive her mother!!”
Griselda said nothing
“Fine, since you resent her for all that happened then why transfer aggression to your granddaughter. Why refer to her as a bastard and call Ana a disgrace because she got pregnant out of wedlock. She said it was a mistake, you do not have to remind her of that mistake mother. And please do not say such a thing again so Thew won’t here it by mistake” Nala said and stood up to leave
“Why hasn’t she told Thea about her father yet?” Griselda asked out of curiosity.
“Because it’s too dangerous, there is a possibility that his fiancee had caused everything that happened and that woman is still his fiancee so letting him know about Thea is dangerous. Until that woman or whoever did it is brought to justice Thea can’t know her father?” Nala informed her before walking away.
Griselda sat there thinking to herself and all that her daughter just said.
That afternoon Ana was occupied with work. She had asked Nala to go help her pick Thea from school. Nala is one of the people registered to pick Thea from school so there won’t be any issues in doing so.
Nala happily dressed up and left with the chauffeur and guards to Thea’s school. She used to do this in country A whenever she had a free time.
Thea stood with the teacher outside as she waited for her mother. She was already getting sad that her mother was delaying but when she saw her aunty from afar she left the teachers hand and rushed to Nala.
.
The teacher ran after her not knowing who it was she was running to.
“Aunty” Thea hugged her tight. And Nala hugged her too
“Sorry miss who are you?” the teacher asked.
“She is my aunty” Thea said.
Nala smiled and nodded ”Yes, I’m her moms sister and also my sister said my name is registered as part of the people that can pick her up from school.
“Sorry what’s your name” the teacher asked to verify.
Nala told her her full name and the teacher nodded and smiled when she checked her phone and saw her name was on the record including her photo.
“I’m sorry ma’am, it’s just that I’m following the rules and protocol so there won’t be issues later” the teacher apologized.
Nala nodded “I understand”
The teacher bowed her head and left while Nala took Thea to the car. The got in and the chauffeur started the car and drove out of the school premises.
“I’m so happy you came to pick me up” Thea said happily.
“Yes baby, aunty will pick you up whenever she is free to do so”
Thea smiled happily. Her tummy made a sound.
“Are you hungry?” Nala asked
Thea nodded “Yes”
“Okay let’s take you to a little treat”
“Yey!’l Thea joined happily.
“Please take us to a very nice restaurant close by before we go home” Nala said to the Chauffeur who nodded.
After ten minutes they reached the beautiful 5 star restaurant. It was so classy and high end.
“The restaurant opened recently,” the chauffeur said.
“Oh I see” Nala said as they came down and two guards followed them inside.
Fernando just finished a private meeting with some investors. And was coming out of the restaurant when he sighted Ana’s daughter and a young lady holding her.
He stood and stared at them and the young lady's face looked familiar.
Thea looked at him and when Nala followed her eye direction, she was shocked to see Fernando Buenavista standing there staring at them.
