THE FORGOTTEN MOTHER'S

I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU KELLY

Now I have to how is Dominic...?"

Kelly asked with trembling lips.

Dominic pulls Kelly's body and holds her tight. Never thought of the suffering Kelly had experienced so far was so heavy. And he endured it alone.

Dominic did not expect Kelly to be the daughter of Felix, a man he deeply respected in the legal field. Felix also guided him a lot when getting various cases in his hands. Felix is a teacher to Dominic. They're very close. Felix was a friend of his father's.

"I didn't think you were Uncle Felix's daughter. And I didn't expect Uncle Felix to be so heartfelt to you, his own flesh and blood" Dominic said, gently rubbing Kelly's back.

Kelly looked up at Dominic. "You know papa too?"

"Yes. We're very close. Uncle Felix was my father's friend. He is a teacher to me in the world I am in right now" Dominic said, staring at Kelly.

"Because of that closeness my parents betrothed me and Diane. Ever since I first met, Diane liked me and she even openly invited me to get married. But I don't like that girl. I just consider him a sister. I didn't overreact even though the girl made me so sick because I respected Uncle Felix" Dominic said.

Kelly was still staring at Dominic with reddened eyes. "Now what, what should we do Domi? Lory and Diane must hate me even more. Also papa, he will definitely not defend me. Papa loves Diane even though she is not his flesh and blood. Everyone must have cornered me more" Kelly sobbed.

Dominic held it tight. "Let me be there for you always. I'll talk to your papa soon. Do you want us both to talk to him, hem?"

Kelly quickly shook her head, without making a sound. All that sounds is just a cry.

"All right, let me just talk to him. Incidentally once the next few days, we will be attending the same event in this city. Did uncle know you were living in Toronto?"

"I don't know. From the day I met her, we never saw each other again. Papa completely forgot about me. And my heart was numb to him. I forget the sadness of working and learning to make my dreams come true" Kelly said, wiping tears from the back of her hand.

Dominic's hand framed Kelly's face which seemed to harbor immense sadness. It's the first time Dominic has seen the girl so fragile. All this time he knew Kelly as a strong independent girl. Even eating he did not want Dominic to bear it. As long as they were lovers, Kelly showed herself to be a strong girl. Which in the end often makes Dominic feel he is not considered by Kelly.

Now Dominic knows what caused Kelly that way, none other than his father's demeanor that Kelly loved so much that he chose his new family and ignored him. Dominic understands how pathetic his lover's life is. From a young age he has supported his own life without the help of others by working and learning.

"Behind the joy that you always show in front of everyone turns out you keep a lot of pain" Dominic said staring softly at Kelly who already seemed calmer.

Kelly fluttered Dominic's embrace, leaning his face against the chest of the field and tightening his arms.

"I'm actually very tired, Domi. Very tired to my nadir. But we are found. I'm so happy, Domi. Ever since I've been with you, I've felt a place to lean. When my best friends Renata and Laura are married I don't feel lonely because you're with me. I love you" Kelly said slowly. The girl tightened her embrace.

Dominic kissed the soft head of Kelly, to be honest he was very happy to hear the confession of his lover. Because the Kelly he knew was so cute. Dominic often protests against him. But now Dominic knows what makes his girlfriend Kelly that way.

"I love you too. Hugely. You don't have to worry anymore now, because I'm always for you. I support you to finish your college, then we should plan our wedding. I want to take care of you, Kelly. After marriage you will never be lonely again, we will always be together. We will be the perfect family when you give birth to our children" Dominic said, rubbing his girlfriend's face gently.

"Dom.."

Suddenly Kelly lifted her face looking at Dominic who was also looking at her.

"Hem?"

"How about we get engaged first?"

"Are you serious, with your words?", asked Dominic to confirm his hearing.

Kelly quickly nodded her head. "Yes Domi, of course I am serious".
