19: I...need time

Bella's pov

" I....need time." I said after battling alot within myself.

He sighed sadly and said
" Take your time, I'll wait for you. "
After that he silently began to turn and go towards his car.

This time I wanted to stop him.
I wanted to ask him to stay a little bit longer .
Somewhere, I knew what my heart was telling me but a major and obstinate part in me didn't want to believe it.

I didn't do anything except to just stand there and watch him leave.

"You are late." I was greeted by a not so cheerful Gia standing like a strict mother at 2 am at night waiting for her teenage daughter to return home.

"No....I am sorry." I almost joked in an attempt to make her smile.

"But I am angwy." She said while scratching her nose.

"Hello angry I am sorry. Now.....let me come in please."

She gave a dramatic sigh in response and said.

"Okay come but next time you are not supposed to be late. Okay?"

"Okay!" I nodded.
"Then come inside. Quick."

"Hi Bella. " Elena entered.
"Heya.Ele." I greeted her back and tried hard not to sound off.

"Come in ,I made butter cookies. "
"Oh that's great." I said amidst entering the house.

"Ahem Ahem." Gia fake cleared her throat to grab our attention while we were sitting and having butter cookies.

I on the other hand was not actually eating the cookies but wandering whats wrong with me. I was not feeling the way I would always do whenever I met Gia , I was not my usual cheerful self . However I exactly knew the reason behind this distress.

"So ladies and.......ladies . I am going to present to you a beautiful song."

"Yay.." Elena began to cheer her up .

She cleared her throat once again.

"Mumma ,you told me that we must obey God at all times. But after that, who else should we listen to and be close to?"
She asked.

"Who?" Elena asked where as I just remained silent but was genuinely curious to hear her out.

"Your Mother." She said and left me in aww.

Then she began singing.
"Who should I give my love to?
My respect and my honour to?
Who should I pay good mind to after God?
Comes your mother
Who next?
Your mother and then your father.

'Cause who used to hold you and
clean you and clothe you
Who used to feed you
and always be with you
When you were stay up all night
Holding you tight thats no other
My mother

Who should I take good care of
Giving all my love who should I think the most of aftet heavenly father?
My mother.
Who next?
Your mother.
Who next?
Your mother.
And then your father.

'Cause who used to hear you before you could talk?
Who used to hold you before you could walk?
And when...when you...uh..oops....."

She formed her lips in a thin line , she was very upset and blinking her eyes several times looking down. I could tell she was about to cry as things didn't go as planned.

" And when you fell
Who'd pick you up?
Clean your cut
No one but...."
I sang for her.

She gave a cheerful, beaming smile in response and continued.

"....Your mother.
My mother..

I nearly skipped a beat when she said 'my mother' gesturing towards me ?

I had tears of unknown bliss in my eyes. My lips curled up in the most beaming smile ever. I slowly turned towards Elena , who had the brightest smile on her face.

Gia happily continued her song.

"Who should I stay right close to?
Listen most to?
Never say no to?
After heavenly father.
Comes your mother
Who next?
Your mother.

'Cause who used to hug you and buy you new clothes?
Comb your hair and blow your nose and when you cried who'd wipe your tears?
Knows your fear?
Who really cares?
My mother."

This time she gestured towards Elena.

"...Now say it loud
Thankyou God
For my mothers."

Before I could process anything she came and hugged Elena and I. I could no longer stop the tears of pure happiness coming from my eyes and the words left my lips

"I love you , peanut."

"I love you to Belle. Happy Mother's Day my FairyGod mother."

When she said that I was in the seventh heaven. That moment was pure bliss for me, then no wordly worries bothered me, it seemed as if I was in paradise.

"Won't you show the other gift to her?" Aaked Elena.

"Yes." She said and hurriedly went to her room.

I turned towards Elena , utterly happy.

I gave her a questioning look.

"Believe me. It was all her idea." She said , smiling and I can't help but hug her out of happiness.

"I don't know if I'm worthy of it." I almost wispered and tried to not make my tears on verge visible but that didn't go unnoticed by Elena as she said

"Are you crying?" And made me face her.

"Oh my God Bella don't be silly. She herself have you this place in her heart. You know she considers you same as me. She loves you as much as she loves me, maybe even more. I know you love her no less and you definitely deserve the love and respect as much as I do."

Her words made me smile.

"Ahem ahem." Gia was standing near the entrance.

She was holding something in her hands that seemed like a painting.
"Here ." She gave it to me.
"This is our family, we are on a picnic. " she said.

"Lemme see."
It was a painting of two ladies and a little girl standing beside a river. The waves were rising high, which she succeeded in showing by making blue dots by the river bank. They were in some hilly area , the leaves of the trees there appeared to be dancing that she showed by making wind swirl around them and some of the leaves were fallen to. She also made a puppy in the corner. I was definitely not surprised by her artistic skills and how she succeeded in showing almost every detail.

"This is....just incredible. Like wow you..improving day-by-day peanut. Hmm so lemme guess, this lady in bun is Elena and with long hair is me and this cutie pie here is my peanut?"

"Yes." She said

"Come here." I called her.
"Do you wanna go somewhere like this place for picnic?"

"Yes!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Someday when things get better, we'll go to picnic. Elena, you and I we all will go to a similar place, like you made here. I promise. "

"I'll wait for the things to get better. I hope it happens soon."

"Me too." I mumbled

Harry's pov

"So what did she do?" Charles asked me as soon as I entered my home.

"Why are you smiling?" He further aaked.

"Because I no longer have to pretend to be someone else neither with her nor with anyone else, so I'm happy. "

"What do you mean?"

"She trusts me Charles, as a person who I am, and not as who I'm identified as. That means Harold Edward Styles deserves to be himself and not necessarily has to pretend to be like what others want me to be."

"Okay...I won't act like I understood. "

I gave a humourless chuckle.
"It's Okay Charles. It's Okay ."

"You know now I really want to meet her."

"I wish."

"Okay stop acting this way and saying things only you understand. "

I sighed and said.
"I don't know if she wants to meet me either. "

"Oh so you didn't make up?"

"We never breakup dude."
