My Emotionless Goddess

After the glaring contest ended, Justin helped Ezekiel to the house. They all sat on the couches and silence reigned in the house. No one said anything, nothing could be said either way.” Now that we have found Ezekiel, I think we should leave the couple alone. I am sure they have a lot to say to each other.” Miranda finally proposed and they all agreed. Minutes later, only Ezekiel and Lucia remained in the house.” Why honey. Why didn’t you tell me?” Lucia tried to gather her composure and try not to break down in front of Ezekiel. At this point, she understood that he needed her support more than ever.” I thought this is the best way to not burden you. I knew that I would lose my eyesight anytime soon. I am also about to leave this world. What’s wrong with wanting to spend my last days alone?” Ezekiel replied. He didn’t like this topic but he knew he couldn’t avoid talking about it either.” If it was me in this situation, will you abandon me?” Lucia Inquired calmly.” Ofcourse I wouldn’t.” Ezekiel retorted almost immediately. There was no way he could ever let her suffer alone as long as he was alive. What he didn’t Know was that his actions brought more suffering to her. He thought he was protecting her while actually he was hurting her More.” Then why did you make that choice for me? Why did you push me away and stop me from taking care of you and being with you? Do you think your actions were heroic and I should thank you for that? Is my love lesser that I can’t stay with my Man when he is faced with difficulties? She didn’t want to break down before him, but she couldn’t help the tears that flowed freely from her orbs. He might have thought he was doing her a favour by staying away from her but he was just hurting her Even more. Ezekiel panicked when he heard her crying. He pulled her to his embrace to comfort her. Honestly, his intentions were pure, he didn’t Know he was inflicting pain to her.” ! Please don’t cry honey. Am sorry about making the decision for you. I know I don’t have the right to choose for you but I did it to protect you. I wanted to protect you from the pain of seeing me lose my life before your eyes. Please forgive me.” Ezekiel coerced her.” Don’t cry anymore my love. Please think about our daughter.” He said caressing her bulging belly. Lucia calmed down after hearing her baby being mentioned. Her baby was enough to calm her nerves. But she was still angry at him.” Do you still think that it’s better I stay away?” She asked. One wrong answer and she would give him the beating of his life irrespective of his condition. Ezekiel knew she was testing him so how could he give the wrong answer? ” No, I know I was wrong and shouldn’t have that decision for you.” He replied tactfully.” Good that you know. I decide what I do and my decision is to accompany you until when I can’t anymore.” She was settled with talking about his death and couldn’t bear to say it directly. The following day, the two went back to their house in the City. Lucia took a break from her work to take care of Ezekiel. Her parents together with Ezekiel’s parents visited them often. Her friends too would drop by and accompany them. Ronald and Justin would take Ezekiel out to talk about manly stuff. That’s how two weeks passed slowly. Everyday, Ezekiel’s condition was getting worse. His nose bleeds were frequent and although the regular blood transfusion helped prolong his life, his body was slowly giving up. He could feel it. On a Wednesday evening, their friends had just left. Ezekiel could feel that he couldn’t make it to the following day. ” Honey, come watch a movie with me.” He called Lucia Who was washing dishes. He had always wanted to take her out to watch movies. He never got the time nor the chance to do so, he thought that he could as well spend the last moments of his life fulfilling his dream. Lucia didn’t question why he wanted to watch a movie when he couldn’t see. She walked towards him and prepared the movie he requested. It was a movie called my last wish. She could feel her tears brimming but she stopped herself from letting them down. She could only smile bitterly as she switched off all the lights and settled next to him while the movie played. They watched the movie in silence, enjoying the presence of each other. Lucia undoubtedly knew that this was their last night together but she still pulled herself together. Hands intertwined, they sat in silence. Ezekiel felt his breath coming in gulps. The moment was finally here. The moment he would leave his beloved ones in pain. He wanted to plead with all the gods and angels to give him one more day but what could that do, in the end, he would perish. As a lone tear escaped his eyes, he breathed his last, welcoming darkness to overcome him. His head dropped, landing on Lucia’s shoulder. Lucia who had been observing Ezekiel from the corner of her eyes witnessed everything. She saw him take his last breath. She couldn’t control herself and finally broke down, crying. She cried for the loss of her beloved. She cried for her daughter, who would never ever set her eyes on her father. One hour later, she gathered herself and called her father in-law who answered immediately.” He left.” She reported before disconnecting the call and continued holding his dead body in her arms as she sobbed. Three days later, Ezekiel was finally laid to rest in the Greene family residence. The news of his death shocked everybody but what could they do, death knows no King and once it comes knocking, who could say no. When his body was being lowered, Lucia felt a sharp pain hit her and she crouched down, trying to support her. Miranda was the first to see her discover her discomfort.” Hurry, call the ambulance, she’s going into labour.” Miranda announced. ThatThT

That night, Lucia delivered a baby boy safely. Yes, a boy and not a girl as the ultrasound had indicated. Lucia named the child Robby in memory of her husband’s second name

Gabriel and Stacy’s story

The Whiteman family flew from abroad to officially meet their in-laws. The engagement was set but old Mr whiteman was still unsettled. He was worried that his incompetent grandson would court his granddaughter-in-law until his death, so he orchestrated a plan and feigned sickness. As a last wish, he requested Stacy to at least acquire the marriage certificate together with Gabriel. Ofcourse, this was made possible through the cooperation of the Carls family, especially Mrs Carls who had taken a liking to his son in-law and was very much satisfied with him.

Although Stacy could smell a rat, she still went ahead and got married to Gabriel. Afterall sooner or later, they would be married, so what’s the point of delaying the whole thing?

Months later, Stacy gave birth to twins. The Whiteman and the Carls family was so happy that old Mr whiteman threw a huge party for the 100th day celebration for the twins.

The three boys who were now seventeen and were learning about the family business were so happy to be uncles. They took turns carrying the twins.

For family reunion purposes, the Whiteman family relocated to the country. The old Man was so excited about the new addition of the family that he came up with the relocation proposition, surprising everyone.

The official wedding was held after the twins were four years old. It was a church wedding unlike Ava and Miranda’s beach wedding. The two twins were the ring bearers. The two finally got married in church and were blessed to have a happy family.
