Chapter 6

A few hours after the wedding, it came time for the reception and a high school good bye, since me and my new wife were moving to L.A. for our honeymoon, college, and settling down in a house. But during the party we threw, I was taking matters to my hands by stepping outside to the palace balcony to enjoy some time alone.

Somehow, this wedding was the upmost important step to getting my life back together, but somehow, I knew there was something missing that needed to be straightened out. Then it came to me, I needed to have a confrontation with another childhood friend, Duo Maxwell Jr. Yes, the same guy who had that crush on me in the sixth grade, I rejected him badly after I found out that it wasn't child's play, but I promised my wife that if we were both ready we would only date each other. A few years after that, he committed himself to being a ladies man while having no chance of settling down.

Suddenly, when I was getting into thoughts of the past, I was startled at the sound of a trigger being pulled, I turned around and saw him with a pistol near my forehead while I saw the face of a broken heart.

"I bet I know what's wrong with you." I stated while keeping my cool

"I had my intentions on hunting you down."

"Well aint that a coincidence," my voice was mixed with sarcasm and seriousness "I wanted to have a word with you as well."

"I want an explanation to why you rejected me so badly when I told my feelings for you."

"You wanna know why I rejected your love, you wanna know why you'll never have it either, and you wanna know why you've been loving on women you dont even know?" I asked before I stated boldly "The simple answer is: I'm not like my father, sure I may be a spitting image of him, I may have the attitude he had when thought for my mother, but I have my mothers brain and her heart; her love showed me my true path and that path doesn't lead to you."

At that point, I took the pistol out of his hand while he was stunned speechless. Thereafter, I went back to the ballroom to have a dance with my wife.

Later on that night, me and Angela spent most of the night dancing in front of a crowd of our friends. Suddenly, I heard the rain gently falling down, it made me realize "I guess my parents are wishing they'd be here to see us."

That statement made my wife tick and she asked "Do you wanna dance with them?"

"I'd be more than happy too." I replied while we lead each other out the door.

Something about the rain falling felt different that night, it almost felt like my mother and father were giving me the gentle touch on me when I was a child. I guess my theory was right after all along. Shortly thereafter, we stopped our dancing to take in the gentle rain falling down on us, but suddenly I felt a strange presence surrounding me: it felt like something extremely familiar striking down in my heart. Then out of nowhere, I saw my parents face to face with the both of us and with smiles on their faces.

From the looks of things, I was a little suprised that they weren't angry at me. The first words that came out of my mouth were "How long have y'all been here?"

"We've been here ever since the rain fell, I wanted to see my only child grow up into manhood." My mother said gently

"Do you know how much we missed you, son?" My father asked

"Yeah, but I must be honest, I missed you too." My wife and I went to hug my parents.

While we were getting into our embrace, I took an opporutunity to my family "Mom, dad, I need to confess something, when you committed suicide in front of me, mom, I was blinded with so much anger that I didn't know I was blaming the wrong people. I'm sorry that blamed you, dad, for betraying the love of my mother. I still love you two so much."

"We love you too, Josh, we forgive you. But in order to seal this forgiveness for you here's the kiss the represents the love of a mother."

My mother pressed her lips on me. Her kiss did represent a mother's love, the pain in my heart was being sapped away. It felt like my heart was shining as it once did back then. When she pulled away from my lips, my mother moved her lips to my ear and whispered "You two are gonna be a family soon. You will have a child this year."

I was filled with some excitment when I heard her say those words, I came to my wife and whispered sweetly "We're going to be a family soon." I knew on the spot that her tears were falling off of her face when she reached to hug and kiss me. But little did we know that my family disappeared out of our sight, but when we broke our embrace, we couldn't see them anymore, but it wouldn't matter, we were twice as happy that we were gonna be a family soon.

After that night, we were boarding my parents private plane to take us to L.A. for college, our high school friends, our family, and my parents friends were there saying goodbye to us. Before we got on the plane, I saw Duo hiding behind the crowd of friends I made with over the year, I got his attention and said "Duo, I apologize for yelling at you before the wedding night, but I need yours as well."

He never said anything, instead he grabbed my hand and gave me a handshake, I knew that was his apology for sticking his nose into a families business. After that I followed my wife into what is now my private plane and we flew into the sunset.
