Angel confronted her Aunt Misha and her Uncle Jay over their behaviour with her Dad.They were going to be civil to him and make him feel welcome. It was down to her to get her family back together again. Her Mom needed them all working together not fighting agasint each other. Abhay was still watching over Pia with Haseena there for moral support.
Misha ran down to get a few blankets for Pia with Angel blocking her way with her hand against the wall-Angel get out the way.
Angel fumed-No way. Not until U promise not to alinate my Dad. No digs at him. No more fist fights. No verbal abuse. He's been through enough.
Misha sulked with her anger melting away looking into Angels hazel eyes sparkling with a hint of grey in them suggesting her mood was off-U can't blame me Angel. He abandoned her. Took away her memories. Then scared us half to death with U on the way nearly killing Pia off for good. I don't blame U sweetie. Its Abhay. I thought he'd always be there for us. For Pia but he ran like the coward he is. I can't believe he hid the fact he is a blood sucker. It wasn't until U came along we started piecing the puzzle together. Pia never had a life. She never moved on and now she is turning into one of them. Jay can't stand them Angel.
Angel felt her eyes tear up-Uncle Jay is their enemy by nature Misha Aunty but whats your excuse? You're a human. Then act like one and start to forgive. Mom has already forgiven Dad. So must U. I want my Dad in my life and i won't let U take him away from me. This time he knows better. This time he'll be here for good. I've lived a half empty lfe with Mom. I want to experience what its like to have both parents who are in the right frame of mind for once. Can U do this for me?
Misha nodded-Sure. I'll try my best. I'd better take this to your Mom.
Angel ran to her Uncle Jay-Will U let this enmity go. So he hurt one of your family members but i'm your family now. So is he. Please do this for me Uncle Jay.
Jay touched Angels cheeks-Fine.
Angel smiled-Thank U. You're the best. (She kisses his cheeks.)
Abhay let Misha have a little moment with Pia while he stepped outside to meet with his daughter eagerly waiting for him up the stairs. She grabbed his cold hands into her room. It was postered with her favourite actors Imran Khan and Ranbir Kappor. Then there was a board filled with portraits of eyes, lips, Of himself. Abhay was taken aback by this miracle child of his.
Abhay touched her paintings-Did U do these?
Angel full of pride and joy to see Abhay impressed by her work of art shaking her head and getting her sketch pad out handing it over to him-There's more. Have a look!
Abhay turned the page one by one looking at the intricate details, The shades, the tones were so life like-This is amazing. U have a very good eye for detail and the emotions expressed in there is outstanding.
Angel beamed-I got these all off of Mom's mind. She has this perfect image of U and i kept it in my head. Auntie Misha and Uncle Jay's memory of U wasn't what i wanted to paint. How do U think i found U in the first place? I scanned my sketches through the computer and search for a match. Finally googling your whereabouts. Auntie Misha and Auntie Panchi wouldn't help me. Nobody would help me but i'm their niece afterall. Stubborness runs in our family. U are a very hard person to find but i guess my link to U is very strong. I can't believe i found U. I am touching my Dad. Hugging U.
Abhay nodded-I don't blame them Angel and neither should U. I've been hiding away from the world is a good way to put it. So U and your Mom are quite tight.
Angel nodded-Yeah she is the best trying to live for me but she really needs U Dad. She always has but U just didn't want to see it. I want U to stay with us. U and Grandma. With Grandpa Chand. I want us to be a family again. I want Mom to be happy. Will U stay (Her eyes pleading him almost made Abhay's dead heart reboot itself with her warmth. Abhay felt like he'd found Heaven in these arms. His daughter he never knew existed had already made an impact on his life. She'd brought back hope. She'd brought him back to Pia. Most of all Angel had given him this unconditional love he didn't know one could have for him.) I always imagined you'd place your protective arm around me like U did with Mom. That you'd help me through all my difficult moments like growing up. Chasing each other. Playing games and having fun. How you'd sound when U would scold me whenever i cross U. I missed out on all the normal things but i don't feel sorry for myself. I am just telling U that i always wanted U in my life from the day i was born to now. Mom's memory being lost made her half there like she was looking for something but i knew it was U. I just wasn't old enough to go after U then. Then she got sick.
Abhay held his daughter in his arms kissing her forehead-I'm here now Angel. I'm proud of the young woman you've grown up to be. U are smart and caring. Very Daring like your mother and most of all U are a beutiful girl inside and out. I wish i was part of your upbringing and promise to be there for U now. Till U grow old. I already love U Angel. I will give U everything U want my precious little Angel (Touching her cheeks with his marble hands) Me and your Mom will be together forever. She's already changing. Sickness will never touch her.
Angel laughed beaking off her contact with her Father-I've never been sick in my whole existance. According to Uncle Jay i might be like U only alive. I can stop aging any time i want. Lets go see Mom.
Misha held her sisters hand. She made peace with herself to bury the hatchet with Abhay who she held responsible for Pia's fragile state. At least he'd come in the nick of time. Any later her sister would have been 6 feet under.-I'm grateful U are still alive sister. You've had us scared and that naughty daughter of yours had me calling out the search party. I know i should have told U she'd run off but i didn't want to worry U. She's stoked Abhay's back. Its like all her christmas's came together. I'm so sorry for being a brat. Keeping Abhay from U. I didn't want to lose U to the undead. U know what Jay's like. Then theres Angel. She's too young to have the weight on her shoulders but here she goes off on her own in search of a person she didn't even know was alive.
Pia laughed-So am I. Now i have Abhay back and my memories back i don't care about the past Misha. Its all done with. I want to move on with My daughter. I feel very alive even though i can feel myself dying. Its a weird sensation Misha and i'm happy with the way this has all worked out. Angel is strong willed just like U so i expected her to rebel and do her own thing. She doesn't listen to anyone. Does this remind U of someone? U don't hate Abhay now right?
Misha shook her head-No. He did what he did. Thats that. I'll have U as a vampire if it keeps U with us Pia. I can live with him as a Jiju. Besides Angel will never talk to me if i froze him out. Sorry (Sticks her tongue out.) Bad choice of words. I meant kept him at an arms length. I love U sister.
Pia waved Abhay to come foreward with Angel-My two special people. I'm guessing Angels shown U her artwork.
Angel nodded-He liked them.
Pia managed a half smile-I know he likes them. Its written all over your face. Your eyes are changing to an amber colour now. Give Mom and big bear hug. (Angel sits beside Pia giving her a hug.) Abhay has a good eye for talent. So what are we going to do now?
Abhay finished-Take U all back with me. Mom has already made the arrangements.
Haseena nodded-Yes Pia we will be one happy family now.
Angel shot up-Mom i think the transformations complete right? Did U sleep?
Pia nodded. Angel responded back to Abhay's words-I'll go back my things and yours shouldn't take too long. (She scurried off.)
Pia grinned-Angel's inherited your swift powers. Along with several other traits which we learnt the hard way. Thank U Auntie for coming here. Is Chand here?
Haseena nodded-He's downstairs with Jay in silence. Pia i'm sorry U had to deal with this all by yourself. Raising Angel must have been difficult on U not knowing what she is or was? I feel responsoible.
Abhay got hold of Pia-Are U ready Pia? We can leave right now i can hear Angel downstairs already with Dad. Oh Dear she just hugged him. Dad's not into hugs.
Haseena ran down watching Chand watch this strange teen with curious eyes-She's...
Chand finished-Angel (Cracks a smile surprising Abhay and Haseena) My only grandchild. U are quite a mystical child. U have his eyes. U and I will get on very well with your brunt approach to life reminds me of someone I know. Come on lets make a move and start anew.
Abhay took Pia who was now a vampire with him and their daughter to Dehradun. Their own little heaven along with Chand and Haseena and lived happily ever after.
The End.
