![]() "I said I moved out Ani" He says, and I nod again. "No it's fine, I wouldn't want to rob you of your room" I say. "Your things were not touched, the room is as you left it, I moved out after you left, you can stay there if you want" He says and my heart thumps. I look at Kane and he's staring back at me. "You can stay with me! You have to see what I did with my room" Aroofa says, bless her heart. What room am I staying in? The hill house has many rooms but. "Well, let's not stand around, let's get you settled" Linda says and another dilemma arises. I realize that the twins don't know the reason I left, Anaya was trying to deflect and in her deflection she opened an old wound. "We know you must have felt really alone when you lost." Anaya starts and my body tenses, I feel Kane's tense too. "I'm sorry I left you guys, I couldn't deal with." I begin. "Aroos took it the worse when you left, and when you still didn't show up except that letter she thought the worst" Linda says and I nod. My shoulders droop and I turn to the rest of my family. "Don't sit around waiting for it" She says, before bounding up the stairs. "Please, give me a chance to ask for your forgiveness, that's all I ask, please" I say. "You don't have to ask that of me, I know what I will do, I know that it will be too much of me to ask that you immediately accept as soon as I get back but I'm asking you to give me a chance." I say "No, everything's not going to be fine because you are back, I'm sorry you have people after you or whatever is going on in your life but please, when you are done, kindly go back to the hell hole you've been holed up in" She says and I nod. I don't know, waltz back into our life and everything will be dandy? Hell no" "No! It isn't enough, I don't understand what happened, I don't know but three years was too much for her to leave, does she think she can. "Why did you return? You were comfortable in staying away for three years, you should have stayed away for thirty more" She says and my heart breaks. "You would have gone into the wind again if you didn't need a place to lie low?" Her voice cracks and I shake my head slowly, my hands fisting in my clothes. ![]() "You wouldn't have returned if you weren't stalked?" Aroos asks and I turn my eyes to her. "Ani is being stalked, she needs a place to stay for a while" Kane says and Aroofa gasp, Anaya's eyes comes to me in concern and I shake my head slowly at her,later we will talk. ![]() ![]() We are inside, why didn't you bring your bags?

She asks.Īll episodes of this story can be found here > We get to the sitting room and Aroos is there, doing something on her tab, I know, I know it's going to take awhile for we to go back to being like we always were. It does my heart glad to see them getting well so well. "Let's get inside first little sister" Kane says and Aroofa nods immediately. "Are you back? Like for reals?" Aroofa asks and I glance at Kane's cool eyes before nodding.Ĭash is not present but I know he's around. "It's good to see you are doing good sister" Anaya says and I nod, I know she knows everything, she's too inquisitive not to know, I look to Aroos, she just nods at me before matching up the stairs and through the door. She lifts her self and my body tenses when my eyes finds Aroos's and Anaya's. "I'm sooo soo sorry" She whispers and I give a laughing sob. "I've missed you baby" I say and the moment I lift my body Linda is taking me into her arms. The doors opens and I'm out, I take two steps and a ball of Aroofa is hitting me, I drop my clutch, squeezing her as I hug her back, tears coming as I breath in her scent.
