My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

42. Raina

Blinda stood on the sidewalk listening to music while reading a book waiting for the traffic lights to change color. Just as he was about to cross, the book in his hand fell with wide eyes. Many times he blinked and rubbed his eyes. He still could not believe what he saw.''Fabian..this is impossible.'' Fabian looked delighted and laughed with a little girl walking beside him. At that time Blinda wanted to go to him to make sure that the man was really Fabian, his cousin. Now he appears with a little girl he does not know.

His intention was not to be carried out he preferred to follow Fabian wherever he went. Fabian entered a mini market and took out a few packs of eggs, then headed for the cashier.''Hello Raina!''greet a female cashier.''You look so beautiful from day to day.''

Raina's cheeks blushed red.''Thank you, she replied shyly.

"Mr Rockfield, it's lucky you have such a beautiful daughter. Hopefully my soon-to-be-born child is beautiful like Raina.''

Fabian smiled faintly.''Surely your son will be as beautiful as his mother.''The female cashier had her face instantly flushed.

''This is the change, '' cried the woman's cashier.

Fabian comes out of the supermarket and Blinda follows him back secretly. During the trip, Fabian and the little girl sang until they came to a small whitewashed house on the edge of the lake. Blinda was surprised when she saw Jeanette open the door and she quickly hid herself, then left. Blinda closed her apartment, sitting on the sofa trying to calm her irregular breathing. After regaining his composure, he took his cell phone.

"Cedric, it's me . Surely you won't believe what I saw. I saw Fabian and he was with a little girl. Guess who the mother of the child is. His mother was Jeanette and the boy's father was Fabian. I really can't believe this and strangely again she changed her last name. I don't really know what happened to him. Do you think the two of them are married, just imagining it makes me feel nauseous.''

"Calm down! Maybe you're wrong.''

"I'm not wrong. I followed him to the house where Fabian lived.

"okay.oke. So Fabian's in Scotland now? And Fabian has married that waitress?''

"Yes it seems so. I was dying to strangle Fabian and his wife. Especially Fabian, because he dared to betray Miya and if Miya knew for sure she would be very sad.''

"We better keep this a secret from Miya before we know what really happened.''

"I think so too.''

"Please take a bite of them. Just watch them from a distance. We can't tell anyone this yet, because not necessarily what you see is Fabian. There might be people who really look like him.''

"alright. I've gotit.''.After saying that Blinda hung up her phone, then lay down on the sofa.

Fabian was staring at Raina who was sound asleep in her bed after dinner ended. His face was so peaceful when he looked at his daughter that he did not know. Fabian never thought he had a daughter. For four months trying to survive for Raina. He recalled four months ago when he woke up in a house that was foreign to him.

Jeanette stood in front of a wooden house on the edge of the forest with a happy face. He was just on the phone by John one of his friends who took care of Fabian during his unconsciousness, that Fabian had come to his senses after a week of unconsciousness. He stepped inside and there he met John and the doctor who treated Fabian.

" Is he okay?"jeanette asked the doctor.

"He's fine." Jeanette immediately went to meet Fabian in the room and saw him looking out the window. Fabian turned his face when Jeanette walked in.''Hello Fabian!''greet Jeanette.

"Jeanette," she said in surprise.

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'll see you."

"Where am I?"

"In a safe place. Of course."

"I have to go home." Fabian tried to wake up. His head was very dizzy and felt nauseous, but he forced himself to get up. Jeanette.

"You're not well yet."

"Take me off! I have to meet Miya and my family."

Jeanette was furious that Miya's name was again called by Fabian.

"You can't go anywhere. You'll stay here with me."

"You have no right to keep me from leaving" Fabian said no less.

"What do you mean?"

"I've never messed with my threats. If only you had obeyed him, you wouldn't have gotten hurt and ended up in this place. Miya will be coming home to New York with your family, if you insist on going and leaving me here, I will have someone cut the brake cord of the car and they will all have an accident. I'll call my man now to carry out my orders."

Fabian was terrified. His face was pale and his body was shivering.

"What do you want?"

"Married me!"

"You're out of your mind. I don't want to."

"You should want to. It's for our daughter."

"Our daughter?"asked Fabian in surprise.

" Yes we have a daughter named Raina. Now he's seven."

"But how can we have children?"asked Fabian confused.

"Near after we parted, I was pregnant. I went to your house in New York, but you weren't there. You are in England. I met your father and I told him about my pregnancy, but your father got angry and kicked me out. He can't believe the kid I'm carrying is your son. I finally left disappointed and sad. My father's business went bankrupt.I and my family then moved to Iceland, because my father started a new business there. A year after giving birth to our house a fire. My face was broken and I had plastic surgery to turn my face into Mary Jane, my sister who died in the fire. I changed my identity as Mary Jane. Two years later after having enough money, I decided to go to New York looking for you to tell you about Raina, but you're married to Clarissa.

I ended up applying for a job as a waitress in your house so I could be close to you. I wanted to tell you who I was, but I was afraid you wouldn't believe me. I decided to keep quiet until I could take your heart again. I thought if your wife died, I would have many chances to get close to you, but Miya appeared in your life and without me thinking you were in love with her. I tried to get away from her with threats, but you got closer and decided to get married soon. There's no other way but I killed him."

"You're cruel."

"I'm like this, because I love you."

Fabian's memory then floated during his college days first. He remembers sleeping with Jeanette once in a drunken state.

"I'm sorry for hurting your feelings by pretending to love you, out of pity. I didn't mean it that way."

"That's already happened. You should stay with me and our daughter. If you try to escape and try to contact Miya or your family, I won't hesitate to hire people to kill them."

"alright. But on one condition. I won't marry you and as long as we stay together, we sleep in different rooms.

Jeanette agreed.

Fabian under the threat of Jeanette inevitably had to obey his wishes, then he was introduced to Raina who was then seven years old. Raina is a beautiful little girl with hair color with golden tendrils and blue eyes that are the same as hers. Fabian had no doubt that Raina was his daughter.

Fabian agrees when Jeanette gives up her fake identity with the help of her friend John and moves to Scotland. He must pretend to be happy living with Jeanette for Raina. Now he's here stuck with his fake family for four months.

''Miya. Fabian remembered the girl. He misses his girlfriend very much.

Jeanette was doing the dishes, when Fabian went to the kitchen to get some drinking water.''Is Raina asleep?''

"Yes. Raina is asleep.''Jeanette approached Fabian to give him a kiss, but Fabian always avoided letting Jeanette down.

"You still love that woman" he muttered after Fabian went to the room.

During this time Jeanette was quite happy with her new life and she was not willing, if she had to lose all this just because Fabian still loves Miya, even though Fabian never acted as a husband he should have.

🎵🎵🎵🎵

Blinda kept an eye on Fabian for this one week so that he knew Fabian's habits every day . Every morning she worked in a flower shop as a waiter. The owner of the flower shop is an old man in his 60s and the shop is always filled with visitors every day. Most of the visitors who come are women. He doubted if the store was crowded before Fabian worked there. Fabian would come home in the late afternoon and always spend some time playing with Raina who might be his daughter with Jeanette, thinking about it making her stomach feel heartburn, if Miya saw all this she would be sad, for Fabian had betrayed her only for the sake of marrying the ungrateful servant until she changed her last name so that her whereabouts were unknown. Blinda was very surprised to see the attitude of Fabian now why he could marry the woman, whether he did not love Miya anymore he asked in his heart. Blinda also concluded that Fabian was really crazy to have married the woman.

It was on Sunday that Blinda got a chance to approach Fabian, because on that day Fabian went to a city park alone with a book. Fabian was sitting there reading a book. Blinda couldn't bear to hit Fabian. He approached her with an angry face.

"Fabian, you really are a shitty guy, '' she yelled annoyed. Without a second thought Blinda directly slapped the handsome man's face hard. Fabian just looked at Blinda in wonder as he touched her cheek that had just been slapped.''You are so outrageous. We've all been looking for you for the past four months, but what I've now seen, you're living happily with your shitty little family until you forget your own family. Did you fall for Jeanette so much that you just left Miya? You know Miya is now very sad to have lost you, Blinda said without giving Fabian a chance to talk. [ ]
