“Who were they
David?” I asked while savoring the chocolate taste of the candy.
“Who?”
“Henry and the
brunette.”
“Aaahh the
brunette is Alicia, Jillian’s sister and Henry is her son.”
I made a silent
o.
“Alicia had
always loved me, even after the arson, she forgave me and continue loving me as
sister would to a brother.” David started to explain.
“A few years ago
her husband was transferred here and they all moved here. It was a coincidence
that not long after that I reached this same city and met Alicia on the street.
It was a coincidence but it was necessary. For me and for Alicia.” David took a
deep breath and looked at me.
“Remember bella,
we discussed that the universe was created on a balance? And that everything
and every moment has a part in that balance.”
I nodded.
“Well, Alicia
was having a hard time adjusting and she found a familiar face and my soul was
restless from what I had done but knowing that she forgave me calmed me down.
We needed each other and the universe brought us together. Ain’t it great?”
David smiled and looked up at the sky.
“Things that
happens here, the miracles and the accidents, they always have a reason for it
and that’s how this universe works. All we have to do is to have faith. All we
need is a little faith.”
“Have you ever
had an unsettling feeling about something, bella?” he asked. “Some incident in
your life that you feel isn’t resolved yet? Something you wish you have the
chance to have a closer about?”
I nodded
silently. I was thinking about mom, how I left without saying bye. Then I
thought about Daniel, how I wish I had the courage back then to fight for him,
or the very least be honest to him, how much he had hurt me.
“You will get
the time for a closure bella, you always do. But that time might come tomorrow
or next year or in the next ten, you can never know. All you can do is be
patient and be ready.”
