SCARLETT'S TEARS
CAITLIN'S OUTPOURING
"aww...Ale, my leg muscles are pulled in again" Scarlett said grimacingly enduring the pain in her calf.
Alejandro who was sleeping soundly woke up as soon as he heard Scarlett's stifled scream. He rubbed gently Scarlett's calf which had cramps.
"Now how, do you still feel pain ?"
"It doesn't hurt much anymore Ale, it's getting a little better" Scarlett replied.
"Come on,.." Alejandro carried Scarlett's body into his warm embrace.
"Sleep again, it's still night" Alejandro said, kissing Scarlett's head.
Lately Alejandro has always been a husband on standby, because of the age of his wife's pregnancy is getting older so Scarlett often experience cramps in the legs and in the stomach at night.
Scarlett herself is not a fussy pregnant woman, even though she is pregnant with her first child. Scarlett never complains or annoys her husband if what she feels doesn't really hurt or make her uncomfortable.
Alejandro rubbed his wife's back, to make it better.

Two weeks have passed..
"Good morning mother, how are you this morning" said Mark, who was sitting in the dining chair as soon as he saw Caitlin coming down the stairs with a nurse who always accompanied him.
"For my son, good mother this morning" replied Caitlin.
Indeed, in recent weeks Caitlin's condition has improved. Speak smoothly even though sometimes still sometimes forget the vocabulary. He also used to say the name Mark. And calling Scarlett by her name no longer calls her Gabby anymore .
"Mrs Caitlin what breakfast would I have this morning let me get you ?" ask Rossa politely.
"Cereal and soy milk only, Rossa. I have to choose foods that contain a lot of fiber are good for my brain" replied Caitlin.
"Good mistress..
"Son, can we talk after breakfast for a while ?"
Mark looked gently at Caitlin, "of course I can, mom can talk to me anytime. No matter how busy my mother's work is the most important thing to me" Mark replied, hugging Caitlin's shoulder sitting next to his.
Caitlin's change did not surprise Mark. Her mother was sometimes like she wasn't sick . There was a certain time Caitlin's memory returned to normal and spoke fluently, but after that she would occasionally still experience forgetting again.
If at the time of his recollection, Caitlin will be used as best as possible to speak to Mark his son.
According to the doctor who treated him such a state is commonly experienced by Dementia patients. For now, Caitlin's condition has improved greatly. Although not one hundred percent healed, but seeing the development does not rule out the possibility that Caitlin's memory will be fully recovered.
After breakfast Caitlin took Mark to her room.
Mark led Caitlin's hand up the stairs.
"Mom loves your lover Olivia son, she's a good beautiful woman" said Caitlin opened her conversation with her son Mark. The two sat on the edge of the bed that Caitlin used to occupy.
"Yes mom, Olivia is a very nice girl. I love her"
Caitlin rubbed Mark's face gently. He held Mark's hand.
"Son, I'm happy to be on this farm. But there are things you should know, I don't want to keep her alone anymore. I'm determined to recover from my illness so I can see you marry Olivia and see the grandchildren you're going to give me. Before my time runs out" said Caitlin, holding her son Mark's hand.
Caitlin took a deep breath..
"When mom died, I made mistakes that you probably won't forgive. I remarry the man I love in my mother's life, without first divorcing your father."
"The man is just an ordinary person from this town. He used to be just a wine picker in your plantation . I was really surprised to find out that I lived on Merciel's estate that already belonged to you, Mark".
"At that time our lives were very difficult, even to just eat one meal a day sometimes missed. While experiencing all of that, I really regret leaving you behind. Sometimes I think of my parents saying that living in this world would not be happy if I just relied on the power of love".
"When I'm going back to your father, it turns out that I'm pregnant with Damian's boy whom I love. My heart was completely shaken, I really felt guilty towards you and also my baby-to-be".
"At the end of the day my parents asked me to vote, go back to Arthur or continue to be with Damian and our daughter whom I just gave birth to".
"And I decided to go back to Arthur and you son. Consequently I will never see and meet my little daughter again" Caitlin said with a sad and depressed look.
"Until the feeling of longing for an innocent baby girl was so devastating. I went through the days with a deep sense of regret and guilt for Gabby the name of the baby girl I gave birth to" Caitlin said.
"Until this disease attacks my memory" Caitlin said in a trembling voice.
"I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've done to you, son, mom was really guilty of you as well to your dad who had been so kind to me that even accepted mom back with all the flaws that mom had. Maybe now is the right time to say everything when you remember everything" Caitlin said with a trembling body.
"Mother was also very sinful to your sister Gabby, she never got my affection. I am the worst woman and mother on earth. I don't deserve to be called a mother by Gabby, for never taking care of her".
"I can only send prayers to my little daughter and Damian, my hope they find complete happiness.
Even though my mistake was unforgivable because it was so evil, especially for Gabby. I could leave that innocent baby behind" Caitlin sobbed.
Mark hugged the body that was getting shrunken by that age. For Mark, it's been a long time since he forgave his mother. It was all because Arthur was her father who always gave advice so that Mark did not hate the woman who had given birth to him. His father was indeed a very wise man, addressing the mistakes made by Caitlin by calling her DESTINY that has been determined by the creator.
"Mother, I've forgiven all of your past mistakes. Dad always remembered me, to remember the good things you've done for us" Mark said.
Mark loosened his embrace on Caitlin's body.
"Mom, do you want to see Gabby's mother's baby girl?" Mark said slowly as he stared at Caitlin's two gray eyeballs.
Caitlin took a deep breath..
"Mom doesn't have the right to want that, son. Even though mom really wants to meet and hug Gabby even if only for a moment, but if it will only add to the wound for her, I will not find her. But I was pretty hopeful to see Gabby from afar. I don't want the presence of my mother to disturb the happiness she already has" Caitlin replied in a trembling voice.
Huh..
Mark took a deep breath.
"Mothers..Do you want to meet my brother Gabby?" said Mark slowly.
Hearing Mark's question made Caitlin teary-eyed. He shook his head slowly
"If it's gonna make Gabby's feelings even more hurt, it's better not to kid. But let me see it from a distance Even if I can't hold it" replied Caitlin softly.
