Singing for a Second Chance

"Hey! I've been looking for you. I went to your house but it is locked. Owen told me that I might find you here." Jamie just arrived in Mandy's grave seeing Michael sitting beside it.

"I've been confused for a week already and still I can't get any answer. You explained things to me but I can't avoid myself being angry to you for making me a fool. Tell me, who is the woman that I buried here?" Michael asked.

"Words are not enough to mend what I have caused you. If I could just have the courage to tell you the truth but what took over me is my love for Mandy. She did everything for me. It was only her favor, Michael. She was dying and even for a little time she was happy with you. I have sacrificed. I was hurt also because I love you so much. I made her believe that it is nothing to me if she's with you but deep inside that is killing me. Then, I give way for her and for you to be together. But you're eyes only sees me. It is the reason why I taught her to be me and we exchange places. Michael it is not that I fooled you. I was also in pain all those years you are with her." Jamie confessed.

Michael moves his body and faces Jamie. "It looks like a play. The only difference is that, the two of you knows your script and I stand at center with no idea at all. Did it not ever incur to you that I could understand what is happening between you and Mandy? I have loved you the first time I saw you. I am pretty sure that you know that, right." He said.

Jamie nodded felt so guilty about everything.

"All along, every morning that I open my eyes I see Mandy. Those five years, it was all her. You know, this makes me realize that I fell in love not only to you but more on Mandy. It was all a lie after all and it makes me sick. I don't know what to think about you and your sister." Michael stood up and planning to walk out but Jamie stops him.

"Michael, I'm really sorry. Please, tell me if there's any way that even just little bit I could fix what we broke." Jamie cried.

"I died when I thought that you were the one who died in my arms. You took my heart with you in this grave. Jamie, I destroyed my life because of this. I buried you here. And now, out of nowhere, you popped out and change everything. You never think of considering how I would feel. You're very selfish. You and your sister, you ruined my life." Michael yelled.

Jamie kneels with the guilt of destroying Michael's life. "I know it will not be easy for you to forgive me or you will ever forgive me. What I want for now is to reveal what we have hid to you through all these years. You deserve to know everything even if you will curse me. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." She stood up and holds Michael hand. "You're a good man Michael. You supported my sister through her weakest hour. I've seen you suffered with her. You never let her down. Thank you. If not for you, she could have just given up easily. I know it was not fair for you. I know you felt so much pain. We shattered you. If I could have another choice, I would have not done that to you. Things could have become different for the two of us. But Michael, the best thing that I could not regret from everything, I got the chance to be with my sister for a longer time and to see her die with a smile on her face. You made her happy. You made us happy. Thank you Michael and I'll be forever sorry for being not fair to you. I hope someday you'll find a part in your heart that you will forgive me, Mandy and also daddy." She added and walked away to give Michael a space.

Michael is very confused and is in deep pain with what he is experiencing. He is crying staring perplexedly in Mandy's grave. He wanted to scream what he feels but he can't. After knowing everything, he just really can't blame Jamie for what she did for her dying sister. He knew Jamie has a good heart and for sure she did not intend to fool him. But he just can't also deny the fact that he is really mad with all the lies. "You could have told me everything Mandy. Tell me how to fix what you have broken. Tell me how I will move on with all of this." He's mad remembering those moments he shared with Mandy.

"You know that you can share your problems to me." Michelle approaches Nikita who's sitting beside her window.

Nikita can't hide her tears from her mom. She leaned her head in Michelle's shoulder. "I might lose him mom." She cried.

"All I thought everything is already okay with you two. Watching you during Denise' birthday, you are both so happy. You are ready to conquer the world together. I saw the sparks I your eyes and also in Michael's eyes. Now, what happened?" Michelle is a bit surprised.

"Jamie is alive. She never died. She's back." Nikita said.

"I don't understand. But Michael told us about her and that she died years ago because of leukemia." Michelle still can't believe with Nikita's revelation.

"She's alive. Mandy, her twin sister replaces her during those times she's married to Michael. Mandy is the one who died of leukemia. Michael was left behind for him to fix things. I don't know if he'll ever find his way back to me." Nikita wipes her tears and faces Michelle.

"I don't know what to say my dear. I'm just sure that this is very difficult for you and also to Michael. But you just have to give faith with what you and Michael have. If you are meant to be together then you'll end up together. If not, then just prepare yourself. Did he call you already?" Michelle asked.

"Yes, he did. But I hanged up. I could not find the courage to face this mom and I don't want to add up with the confusion he's going through right now. I would love if he will choose us. But I know how much he struggled for Jamie. He loves her so much that could possibly make him give up his own life. I also saw in Jamie's face that she still loves him. They are really made for each other mom. How can I fight that?" Nikita asked and hugs her mom.

Michelle hugs Nikita tight and let her cry it out. "I don't want you to suffer all of this my dear. I could just carry your burden, I will. But hey." She holds Nikita's shoulder and lets her look in her eyes. "You are not going to decide who's for whom. No one can really say who's destined for each of us. I told you, just have faith. I know Michael loves you. He will find his way back to you. Just believe." She added.

"What if he loves her more?" Nikita asked.

"Well if that will happen, then you just have to let go. It is a true love when we learn to let go even if we will hurt our own self. Even if it will break you, you have to move on. You have to remember, every fall or victory, your dad and I will always be here for you. And you have Denise." Michelle answered.

Nikita is enlightened with her conversation with Michelle. Yes, her mom is right. What she is just afraid of is when Michael will choose to be with Jamie over her and how about Denise. This troubled her more especially she knows that it will have a negative effect on Denise. For a week that she has not seen her father, she is already searching for him. This fears her more. She can be the most amazing mom for Denise but she can never replace Michael as her father.

"You're still here." Owen said seeing Michael just arrived in the bar. "It's been almost a month already. Do you have no plans to back in New York; to your family?" He asked.

"If you are in my shoes, what will you do?" Michael asked back.

"I don't know also. But I think this will help you." Owen answered and handed an envelope to Michael. "Jamie left it for you. Your signature will complete it." He said.

Michael opens the envelope. He doesn't know how to react with what he is holding.

"You know, she's very sorry for everything bro. I can see that in her eyes. I know things were very hard for you. But try to find a little light in your heart for you to forgive Jamie. She just did what she knew is best for Mandy. Well if you asked me what will I do if I'm in Jamie's shoes, I will do the same. Jamie's past is not a secret to you especially about her mother's death too. What will you expect from her with the kind of heart she has and with the situation of her sister? She's very selfless and you know that." Owen tries to clear things for Michael.

"Still, she chooses to hurt and lie to me." Michael replied.

"I know that bro and I've seen the worst in you because of that. But did you not realize if these all lies never happened then there are no Nikita and Denise in your life right now." Owen convinces his friend to move on.

"Yes and I might lose them. It makes me get mad more because she complicates things when I'm already got the chance to move on with my life with the woman that I love." Michael said while staring in his mobile with a wallpaper of him with Denise and Nikita.

"You will never lose them if you have the will to let go of your anger and move on. You might miss the chance and Nikita might not there anymore for you. Just follow what's inside your heart and forgive the past. Things sometimes do fall apart and it's up to us whether we will fight and fix it or just stay in the corner and accept defeat." Owen taps Michael shoulder. "Before it's too late, you have to do what inside of this." He pointed Michael's heart.

Owen has a point. It is possible that Michael might lose Nikita and Denise if he will still reject forgiveness and accept the truth about the past. It's all up to him.

"What is this?" Amanda asked Nikita about the letter she handed to her.

"It's a letter of transfer. I want to transfer in Hawaii." Nikita answered.

"What? Why all of the sudden you want a transfer?" Amanda asked again.

"Please Amanda. I need it. If you will not accept it, I have a resignation letter with me. You're my friend and I just really want to keep things all by myself for now. Please." Nikita pleaded.

Amanda walks towards Nikita. "I don't know what happened. But Nikita are you decided about this? You're the best employee I have here. I don't want to transfer you." She said.

"I'm already decided. I'm leaving two days from now. We are moving there." Nikita replied.

"Okay. Well, I'm very sad about this but I would rather approve your request for transfer than accepting your resignation letter. Come here." Amanda hugs Nikita.

Nikita loses hope that Michael will come back to her. It is the reason why she decided to leave and move to Hawaii. They will get to move on with their life away from the place which reminds her of painful memories.

"I'm glad that you call me." Jamie just arrived in the restaurant where Michael took her for their first date.

"Yeah. I just want to give this." Michael handed to Jamie the divorce paper.

"Oh, you signed it." Jamie is sad because Michael signed the paper. It means they are free from each other now.

"I'm sorry." Michael utters.

"No you don't have too. I should be the one to say sorry. Well in the first place our marriage is null and void. In reality, we never got married. You just vowed in my name. I'm really sorry." Jamie replied.

"I'm more okay now. Thank you, Jamie for telling me the truth. You made me realize lots of things especially regarding the future that I wanted to have. I forgive you." Michael holds Jamie's hand.

"Thank you." Jamie stood up and hugs Michael. "You just don't how much it means to me that you forgive me and that I can live in peace now having no worries in my heart" She added.

"It's time to let go and move on." Michael taps Jamie's back.

Jamie sits back on her chair happily. "How did you find to forgive me?" She asked.

"A person teaches me how to fix me. It is the person who teaches me not to have grudged with the past and just appreciate what I have become because of that." Michael answered.

"She must be the woman that night, right?" Jamie asked again.

"Yeah. She's Nikita and we have a child already. Denise. I want them in my future. They complete me and I love them so much." Michael smiled.

"She must be so lucky to have you and you are also lucky to have her. She seems so nice and kind. You deserve to be happy Michael and I'm happy for you. Thank you for this day. I will never forget you. I wish you happiness with your family." Jamie smiled back.

Michael is very happy having the courage to forgive Jamie and move on. Now, everything is clear for him. He wants a lifetime with the two important women in his life, Nikita and Denise.

"Hey Alex, is Nikita there?" Michael called Alex. "I went to their house but no one was there." He added.

"She's no longer working here." Alex answered.

"What? Why? Where is she?" Michael asked.

"She is transferred to Hawaii. They'll be moving there." Alex said.

"Do you have their address? Please give me. I need to talk to her and win her back." Michael is panicking.

"Actually, they will leave today. You can still catch them at the airport." Alex replied.

"Thank you Alex." Michael responded and hanged up. "Drive me to the airport as fast as you can." He instructs the taxi driver.

Michael is very nervous thinking that he might really lose Nikita and Denise. "I hope it's not yet too late." He speaks softly.

"Ready?" Chow asked Nikita who's silently observing Denise.

"Hey." Chow taps Nikita's shoulder.

"Yes, dad?" Nikita asked.

"I'm asking if you are ready. We are about to leave." Chow answered.

"Ah okay dad." Nikita said.

"You know we can still back out. " Chow smiled.

"No, dad. I'm ready." Nikita assures that she is decided to leave.

"Mom, can I get water. I'm thirsty." Denise interrupts.

"Come baby, I will accompany you. Grandma is also there." Chow carries Denise.

"Thanks dad." Nikita answers for Denise.

Nikita is out of the blue. She doesn't want to leave but she knew it was right thing to do. She bowed her head hardly thinking what future is waiting for her and Denise.

"Are you going to leave without saying goodbye to me?" It's a voice of a man standing in front of her.

Nikita slowly moves her head up and was shocked with the guy standing in front of her.

"What? Am I that handsome?" He asked.

"You're not that handsome. What are you doing here?" Nikita asked back.

"Answer me first. Are you going to leave without saying goodbye?" Michael sits beside Nikita.

"We are moving to Hawaii. I thought you will never come back." Nikita answered.

"Nikita, I'm here now. I told you to wait for me. Then, you are leaving me behind without any goodbye." Michael complains.

"Okay. Why are you here?" Nikita asked.

"Because of this." Michael kisses Nikita without second thought and Nikita responded with the kiss. "I miss you so much." He whispered in Nikita's ear while hugging her tightly.

"I thought that you are going back with Jamie and you are still married to her." Nikita keeps her distance.

"No, Nikita. We're divorced already. Jamie fixes it. And Nikita, I won't go back to her. Why did you think that I'll go back to her?" Michael asked.

"I'm a witness on how much you love her Michael and I saw in her eyes that she still love you." Nikita answered.

"Like what I told you before, yes, I love her. But she's part of my past already. Nikita, it is you whom I want to build my future with. It is you whom I love to be the mother of my children. It is you whom I want to share my life with. I love you so much. I will never lose you. It may be selfish but I will never let any chance of losing you succeed. I will fight and make sure that you will stay and join me in a life of happily ever after." Michael kisses Nikita once more.

Nikita can't believe that Michael is with her now. "I love you too, Michael. You're the love of my life." It's her turn to initiate a romantic and blissful kiss.

"Daddy!" Denise runs towards Michael.

"Hello princess. I miss you." Michael carries and hugs Denise closely.

"I miss you too daddy." Denise replied.

Michael pulls Nikita's hand and calls for a group hug. He stared at Nikita and letting their eyes communicate with each other trying to tell how much they miss each other. Then, Michael can't stop himself kissing Nikita many times without noticing that Chow and Michelle are watching.

Week after.

"Good morning my queen." Michael gives Nikita a short kiss.

"Good morning my king." Nikita smiled.

"Breakfast in bed. I know you're very hungry right now after our exciting firs honeymoon night." Michael teases while his hand travels on Nikita's leg.

"Michael, stop that. You're right. It's exciting and it's also very tiring." Nikita replied and suddenly she felt like she wants to vomit. She runs immediately to the comfort room.

"Are you okay?" Michael worries.

"Yeah. Well, it's normal." Nikita replied.

"What is normal in vomiting?" Michael asked again.

"When you are pregnant, it's normal." Nikita smiled.

Michael is stunned. "Pregnant. As in, I'm going to be a father again? Oh, yes. I'm going to be a father again" He screamed and carries Nikita in his arms.

"Michael, take it easy." Nikita said.

"I love you my queen. I love you." Michael kisses Nikita and put her down back in the bed.

"I love you too." Nikita responds with the kisses Michael's showering her.

(Thank you for the time you shared with me. I hope you keep on hanging out with my stories.)
