Chapter Five
Seto was able to get me in to see my father after visiting hours, so that I wouldn't have to see my mother. My father was sleeping and the Nurse said "that he had a pretty good day. He had a heart attack and was paralyzed on they left side." What my mother had told me was a lie. He wasn't dying but he would have to have a Nurse on call to give him his medications and a physical therapist to help him to try to regain the use of his left side. All she wanted was for me to come home and be his Nurse and I wasn't going to fall for it. I talked to him even though he was asleep and I left a card telling him that I hoped he got better and that I wished him well, and then I left and never went back.
Today is my birthday, and Seto said "that he and Mokuba were taking me out to dinner." "I asked if I could invite a friend" and he said sure. I didn't have anything really nice to wear and he knew it, because he gave me a present and when I opened it, I found the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. I thanked him by giving him a kiss and he blushed and said you're welcome. I went downstairs and went to Marie's room and knocked on the door. "Come in" she said. "I asked if she would do me a big favor" and she said that she would. "What is it" she asked me? Seto and Mokuba are taking me out to dinner because it is my birthday and "I'd love for you to come with us, please." I asked her. "Honey, I'd be glad to she told me and she gave me a hug and said happy birthday to me."
We had a great time at dinner. We laughed and just enjoyed each others company. Mokuba gave me a necklace that he made of beads and blushed when I put it on and kissed him and said thank you. Marie, she gave me I guess the best gift of all. The package she gave me contained a book of Poems and she must have known that they were my favorite ones. "I want to thank all of you for what you've done for me." I said to them. I had to wipe the tears from my eyes and when I looked at Seto he had the strangest look on his face, then he smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat. Was I falling in love with him, I asked myself?
The next day, I learned that my father was released from the hospital and that they had to put a second mortgage on their home to pay for the hospital bills and to be able to afford the therapy he would need, but I tried not to let it bother me. She had called Seto's several times and "he told her that I no longer existed as far as she was concerned." "We need her" she said. "Where were you when she needed you" Seto said to her and then hung up the phone. That was the last time she ever called there again.
