She looked unkept with her hair scattered all over her face and her eyes swollen
“My baby” Melissa called and ran to hug her
“It wasn’t intentional, mom is sorry, don’t h@të me pls” she sobbed loudly
“Since you’re willing to know the truth, then we will go back to Korea ” Melissa said, wiping her tears
“Korea ?” She asked and her mom nodded
“Then I will tag along” Aliya said
“No Liya, that won’t be necessary, when we’re done. You can come see her then”
“What does that mean? Will she be staying in Korea?” Aliya’s eyes widdened
“I didn’t say that” Melissa caress her hair.
“So when are we leaving?” Nirvana asked
“In 30 minutes time, so we can get there today” Maxwell said and Melissa and Nirvana turned to face him
“Don’t you think it’s sudden?” Melissa replied quickly
“She needs to know the truth, that’s what we all want so why should we delay it any longer” Maxwell asked
“But dad.. Aliya trailed off, tears blurring her vision
“Not as if I’m leaving forever, you will always be with me”. Nirvana said and Aliya allowed the tears to flow freely down her cheeks. Her voice kept increasing as she cried
“Can’t you just stay with me huh? You said we were gonna be together forever, what if I don’t get to see you again. Forget your past and let’s stay together, we can as well elope to another country or just go far away from everyone. I don’t wanna be alone and…” Nirvana quickly hugged her to herself as she cried on her shoulders
“Its okay” Nirvana stroke her hair gently and after a while she stopped crying
“I’m going to miss you. I can’t believe I’m missing you already” she hiccuped, holding tightly unto Nirvana
“I’ve always hoped she’d never found out” Melissa blink back her tears as she watch Nirva and her husband hugged her to himself

“Dad, you’ve been behaving strange ever since I told you about the girl who looked like me. Are you hiding something from me dad?” Jasmine furrowed her brow at him
“Jasmine, wh@tëver you saw that day doesn’t mean anything okay? At least three people in the world has your face. So I guess that’s what happened, it’s a coincidence” Gabriel said but Jasmine wasn’t buying it
“Since you don’t wanna te.. she didn’t finish her words when the door bell rang
“Are you expecting someone?” She asked and Gabriel shook his head.
Jasmine left for the door. She opened the door, revealing a woman
“Come in” she said and the woman entered followed by her husband then Nirvana.. and Jasmine’s eyes widdened in shock
“Who are you people?” Jasmine asked
“Melissa, Maxwell what you doing here? You didn’t tell me you two were coming” Gabriel appeared
“We are 3 in number” Nirvana spoke up and Gabriel’s eyes dilated in shock
“Why is she here?” Gabriel whispered into Maxwell’s ears
“She hasn’t been eating for days just because she wanted to know the truth and that’s why we came” Maxwell sigh

★ Desmond’s mansion★
Desmond slump heavily on a couch beside Michael who was watching a movie.
“Is everything okay?” Michael asked.
“Yeah… Do you wanna know about the wish we grant 20yrs ago?” Desmond asked and Michael stared at him strangely
“What? Why are you staring at me that way?”
“You seem different today.. is something good happening?” Michael asked
” I’ll leave since your aren’t interested” Desmond said and made to stand up when Michael pull him back
“I didn’t say so” Michael rolled his eyes
“You’re becoming bold I must admit” Desmond grimace
“Just get to the point” Michael said
“Anyway, Lucy, was the lady who asked for a child 20yrs ago”
“I know just tell me her wish. I want to know” Michael cut in and Desmond sigh
“She said she needed a child at the expense of her life, she didn’t care if she dies after child bearing, she just needed a child ” Desmond said
“Why will she wish for dead? Was she drunk or what?” Michael asked
“I dunno.. since I’ve been on earth, I discovered human are the most stupid people I’ve come across”
“She should have just ask for a child why ask for death too?” Michael asked
“I said I don’t know.. but she was so determine. She said it with so much determination, she even made a blood oath”
“Humans” Michael shook his head

★ McAdams mansion★
“Gabriel here is your father” Maxwell said with a teary voice.
“Dad, you don’t mean that right?” Nirva asked and Maxwell smile sadly
“Your dad is right Nirvana” Melissa sobbed
“Dad what’s happening? What are they saying?” Jasmine asked
” I’m sorry Jasmine but I’m even more sorry to you Nirvana” Gabriel Cried.
“20yrs ago at the Manson hospital,,,,Gabriel began
“Your mom Lucy, went into labor and gave birth to you both.. but she gave up the ghost immediately Nirvana was born
“She wasn’t privilege to see Nirvana before she died. And then, Melissa was also rushed into the hospital but she lost her baby
“I was so sad and wondered how I was going to cope with you two as a single father.
“The Luthers were in great agony.. I felt pity for them so I willingly gave Nirvana to them as their child. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t sell you out”
And the house we’re living is one of their houses here in Korea… We decided to keep it a secret and that was the reason they travelled out of Korea and left for the states
“Dad, you kept all this from me?” Jasmine yelled in tears
