Crossing my legs as I sat calmly on the wooden floor, with my sight focusing upon the mini closet, I know this is the day that I might have find some answers. The riddling maze that have been sprouting paths of many certainties.
Ezra, was out doing some errands with his mini business venture which he had open up recently. Something which actually surprises me...for his involvement with flora and plants.
I flipped through the end page of the journal, and there's the code..a code which actually could unlocked the closet. Something had caught my attention, while I rummage inside one of its mini drawer, there's seems to be another opening that actually could be unlocked manually, by matching the code numbers. I twist those rolled numbering until finally they matches. Out of sudden, I heard a soft click sound and suddenly the drawer slowly flips itself upside down. Cautiously I peeped inside the drawer. There lays, an A4 size envelope with my name clearly written on it. Upon that banging sense of curiosity, I carefully bring the envelope out from the flipped side drawer, and place it on my lap. I frown but my thoughts was fully blown with excitement and anxiety. "Could it this be the thing which Freda being desiring for?" Rang my emotions.
I carefully untie the string of the envelope and begin bringing out some kind of property deeds and documents with my name clearly written upon each pieces of them. Wow! I blink my eyes several times in disbelief. "Okay, so now what? What am I supposed to do with these?" I mumbled.
I shoke my head lightly with a glum look clearly written on my face, as I place my fingers back into the envelope to check if there's anything else inside it. And true enough, a note:
To my angel Reem..
Reem, once you touch this note, I am no longer be by your side. When I'm gone, I know, things will get rough on you, but I believe you will embrace the storm with faith and courage. Reem, there's deep a secret which I've been hiding it from you. A secret which has been tormenting my soul for that past 21 years.
Reem, you are not my daughter. Please forgive me, for keeping this dark secret away from you. I...I took your mother away from your father, in the most deceitful manner.. knowingly, your mother is carrying you in her womb. I'm the one that had eventually ransacked Ana's heart and spirit, emotionally, physically...please forgive me Reem.
I crushed the note in between my fingers, with wreaking tears raging my eyes. There's more words written, but I just don't have the courage to carry on reading them..
With a huge sigh of disbelief and anguish, I shove back all the documents and the notes back into the envelope and carefully place it inside the flipped over drawer.
Should Ezra know about this? Rang my thoughts.."No...no ..!"
"If only you are here Habil, you would know what to say..but I pushed you away..." I lay on the floor, quietly drowning with my tears.
