chapter 98

"But god had different plans, my wife had just completed third month one day all of sudden she started bleeding by the time we reached hospital we lost the baby""After check-up we got to know that my wife can never be a mother, because of her week body and if she ever tried she will definitely die at the time of giving birth""We both were in shock but she was unable to take that news and she started losing her senses, she was getting crazy day by day, sometimes she would wake up and ask me where is James, other time where is Jessica""Sometimes she would wake and say, 'Dylan it's time to feed baby where is my baby""We didn't knew the gender of the baby because I asked doctor to block that news, my wife's condition was getting worse day by day""The doctor said that she is not able to take the news and her situation may get worse in future and we might have to admit her to mental asylum""That night, I was in hospital from so many days so after my wife slept I thought of going home freshen up and come back""It was stormy night I was driving the car, I was passing from a valley when suddenly a boy maybe of four or five years bumped in my car""I was so scared, I immediately got out of the car and picked the boy in my arms, he was injured so I brought him back to the hospital""Doctors check him and told me that the bruises on the boy' were not new, its old bruises, that boy was beaten brutally""The doctors were treating him, children sections was close to my wife's ward, one day I just went to check on the kid, I was unaware that my wife was following me""The moment she saw the kid, she pushed me aside and said with happy tears, 'Dylan why are you hiding our James from me""At that moment I was surprised to hear her but next moment I thought that might be god had given us the opportunity to be parents""An idea clicked my mind, it was already three days but no one came looking for the boy, but before moving ahead I wanted to know everything about the boy""At the same time I didn't wanted that I take away any parents kid, because I was aware of that pain""So I asked my people to look for kid's parents and asked my friend in police to investigate about the kid""What I got to know was so shocking for me that I decided that I will adopt this kid and give him the best""My friend informed me that his name was Bob and his parents were greedy people that night Bob was sold to a gay old man and Bob ran away from their and while running he met with an accident with my car""When Bob woke up after seven days, his condition was also not good he was scared, he would keep on crying saying please don't beat me""At that time my wife took good care of him and while taking his care she was also getting better, the doctor suggested that it is good for both of them to stay together""My friend had got me all the details of Bob, his birth certificate everything, he is four years elder than you guys""I adopted Bob legally but only changed his name to James as my wife was used to call him James""With passing time my wife got normal and I told her about the adoption and she said it doesn't matter if he is adopted he is our son""James slowly forgot his past and we were happy about it"Lucas said after Dylan finished, "And who all knows about it?"Alex interrupted, "Four of us" he meant Alex, Alice, and Miller couple.Lucas countered, "Then why didn't you tell us about it?"Alex said, "What was the need of telling all these to you?"Daniel asked, "James, you knew it?"James nodded and said, "No, I never knew about it, I got to know about it a month back when Olivia called me out of blue""She told me that my parents took me away from my biological parents and they were looking for me from so many years""At first I didn't believed her, but when I met my biological parents, a very faded memories flashed in my mind, where they were beating me brutally""And just after my first meeting with my parents I remembered everything that happened that night""They said that we are going to Dad's boss's  house, I was very excited thinking I will get different things to eat but things were completely opposite, when I reached his house""My parents took a bundle of money from the old man and said, 'from now on he is your sex slave' saying this they turned to leave""I held my mom's hand and said, 'Mom where are you going?""She smiled viciously and said, 'I am not your mom you are just a mistake but today I got good amount of a trash like you""Saying she started walking away, I held her legs begging her not to leave me alone with a stranger but she and my dad started hitting me""Soon that old man came and started taking out my clothes, I didn't knew what came to my mind, I bit his hand and ran away and met with accident""When I woke up I was so scared but there a woman who was taking care of me without any compliant""She would sleep next to my bed all the time, she was always there for me, she used to call me James and I liked that name because the way she use to call that name with so much of love and care""That was the time when I got to know what actually a Mother is, I always hated my name Bob because my biological parents use to say, 'Bob is useless, a mistake, good for nothing""And slowly bad memories got replaced with the happy and loving memories of my adopted parents."
