Tales Of Love

Mia whispered to Santiago to request a bail for Eve Diego. Her mother was dead and at least, she had to pay her last piety to her. Santiago only made a call, and Eve was granted a temporary bail.

She had already known that her mother was dead. She committed suicide. Her mother had always been the rigid type and self-willed. She thinks ending it this way was the best that life could turn out to be? Even in her death, she still feels hatred for her.

As the remains of Tola were being taken to the crematorium, Caden Diego was surprised when he saw his daughter Eve Diego. She looked disheveled with unkempt hair, a puffy face with batches of dry tears.

Without any hostility or anger in her face, she walked forward and stood beside her father. At Mia’s tugging Aurora went and stood on the other side of Caden. When the latter saw Aurora, he was pleased again. At least this shows that Aurora accepted Tola as her step-mother.

Soon the process was over. The ashes were delivered in an urn and Caden received it. Eve Diego was supposed to return back to the prison after the cremation.

She expected her father to say something on her behalf, but he didn’t. As they got to their cars, Eve Diego paused and turned to Look at Lara. She was opening her car. “Big sis” she called.

Aurora paused but refused to look at Eve Diego. She knew she was the one Eve was calling, it was her voice.

Caden Diego squinted. He turned and saw Eve with tears in her eyes. He felt an emotional ting and looked away. He couldn’t bear to see her tears.

“Big sis Aurora. Are you going to deny the fact that you’re my sister?” Eve declared and her tears became uncontrollable.

Aurora didn’t know if she should accept Eve Diego as her sister or not. It’s hard to forget that this woman Eve had made her suffer in the past and even once called her mother a prostitute.

Santiago looked at Eve and saw her tears, it was that coming from a remorseful heart. He saw regrets in her eyes and an apology in her voice. He was looking at a different Eve Diego, a changed person.

Forgetting the past, what transpired between Eve and himself. Letting go of what she did to Aurora and how she separated them for years. But seeing her changed looks, he realized that fate had brought them together. Through Aurora, she had become his sister in-law and he is her brother in-Law.

Caden greatly yearned to see his daughters together. He wished Aurora could forgive Eve. She looked remorseful and thought she deserved a second chance.

“Eve, come over” Santiago called. Eve Diego started walking towards Santiago. She got to him and bent her head. She couldn’t look up into his eyes.

Santiago saw her attitude and smiled. He gave Eve Diego a side hug and looked at Aurora. But the latter turned her face away, deliberately avoiding Santiago’s gaze.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get into the car with us. I’ll help you talk things with your big sister” Santiago declared. Eve Diego got into the co-pilot seat and Aurora and Santiago sat in the passenger’s seat.

Mia went to join Caden in his car and they drove off.

A Year Later.

“Sis, I think this will look good on me” Eve Diego said giggling. She had checked through the entire bridal wear and finally settled for one.

Aurora walked over and looked at it closely, it’s very beautiful and the latest edition. “I think it’s beautiful. Go try it on” Aurora instructed.

They paid for it and a sales girl packaged it and other things they got and took it to their car. As they got in, Eve held Aurora’s hand.

“Sister, I really appreciate everything you are doing for me and Harry. Soon we are getting married and it’s happening because of you.

But I have one more request, please sister Aurora, you can make it happen, yes you can” Eve Diego stuttered. She really wants Aurora to grant this request.

“Spew it Eve” Aurora ordered. Eve can be so annoying atimes. She hadn’t even said it, she already concluded that she can do it. She’s not a superman or rather a superwoman.

“Get dad and aunt married!” Eve Diego blurted out with a solemn look on her face. Before Aurora could say a word, she added “Dad needs to be married again, he needs a woman by his side. Did you even notice that dad loves aunt so much, didn’t you see it in his eyes?” Eve Diego concluded.

Aurora was shocked. How is it that Eve was saying what’s in her mind? She couldn’t bring herself to tell Eve so as for her not to feel bad. She knew her dad still loves her mother very much. It’s obvious, but he’s keeping his distance.

Mia also seemed to have a place in her heart for him. They were both trying to keep their distances. But they’re still in love with each other.
