Happiness
Writer’s POV
‘Would it end that way?’
“Why are you crying, Dabby? What is wrong?” Damien who was so startled to see Dabby in that manner asked her, as he was still trying to process her word and what it meant.
He probably understood and recollected very fast, the fact that he thought he had seen someone who looked like her at the event the previous day. The person she seemed to be referring to, was the only person he had been with the entire time.
“Hi, Dabby. I’m Akeelah, Damien’s Mum,” the woman who was luxuriously dressed in a nice blue dress introduced herself.
“Damien’s Mum?” Dabby’s shaky voice asked when she heard what Akeelah said. It cleared the whole misunderstanding about the beautiful mysterious woman that has been his mother all along.

“I didn’t know that she was your Mum,” Dabby uttered slowly in her words, as she walked side by side with Damien towards the field of her huge school. She was thankful in her heart that she had not thrown unreasonable tantrums yet.
“Reunited with her months ago after searching for so long. It has been us ever since,” Damien explained to her with happiness in her heart and paused. He suddenly remembered her outburst minutes ago and chuckled.
“Why are you laughing?” Dabby asked, still feeling mortified by her crazy mix-up and indirect accusation of him.
“You thought I was with another lady already?” His deep mellifluous voice taunted, as he paused on his steps and stood in front of her immediately. He had the deepest wishes to hold her so tightly to his body and tell her how much he had missed her.
“No.. n. yes. Maybe,” Dabby stuttered as he stood in front of her, as she held in her breath so tightly because it was too much to handle for her that he was really standing before her.
“What I saw yesterday was a reason to doubt. It has been years you know, and you are in a very high demand…..” she continued this time, dragging on her last words.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“You came to yesterday’s event?” Damien asked in surprise.
“Yes. I was invited by a friend. I had to leave before the main event even started, because it was too hard to focus after misinterpreting the situation,” Dabby told him honestly as her cheeks colored in embarrassment.
“That was an event for the launching of my second game,” Damien told her with all smiles.
“Omfg, Damien!” Dabby screamed so loudly and turned to hug him so tightly immediately, “You did it! I cannot believe you are a CEO now. Your mama is gonna be proud,” she added with a very wide grin on her face.
He held her close to his body in her extreme happiness, and they shared a lovely moment at that particular time to reminisce on their past. The limited time was not enough to make up for everything.
“I’ve missed you so much. I thought I would lose my mind,” Damien said into her ears slowly, still hugging her.
“I actually lost my mind when I found out that I lost my phone and we couldn’t talk again. It was so tough,” Dabby conceded.
“I had no idea you were in Yale. I had no one to call and ask for your whereabouts. I was finally able to get through to Mason after breaking off contact, through some friend’s connection yesterday. He told me you were at Yale. I just had to be here this morning.”
“It has been so hard to keep up with him, after I attended one of his competitions recently and we connected again. He is now a star,” Dabby chuckled with pride in her tone because she was so proud of her friend. They had so much to catch up with.
“I cannot believe so much has changed in these years. So much,” Damien emphasized with a smile on his face, “We’ve got to celebrate our wins,” he announced and Dabby
There was a surfeit amount of thoughts in their minds to say and catch up with, but they just wanted to love each other at the moment. They took a walk more into the field, while Akeelah sat from a distance watching both of them with a smile on her face.
