You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Shermaine finally had the chance to meet her parents. However, they brought her bad news. They told her that her parole application was rejected because Matthew and Clarissa got in the way. Yet, she was not angry at all.

Instead, she smiled at them with a hint of disappointment which disappeared quickly. She even comforted her parents in return.

“Dad, Mom, you don’t have to be sad. I just have to bear the consequences of my actions. Hence, whatever the results may be, I’ll accept it with an open heart.”

“But, we thought we could finally reunite during New Year’s. I’m sorry, Shermaine. We’re useless; we couldn’t avenge you.”

“Don’t say that, Mom,” Shermaine reminded as she looked at her with forgiving eyes. Kayla then began to calm upon hearing her words.

“Alright, enough about them. We’ll do our best to work toward an early reunion. Shermaine, I hope you can forgive us.”

“Mom and Dad, you’ve done your best. Besides, this isn’t your fault. I was the one who got myself into this.”

“How could it be your fault? They set you up! If it wasn’t for her…”

Kayla dragged Clarissa into the picture once again. But when she glanced at her daughter, she quickly stopped. “Okay, let’s change the topic.”

Shermaine smiled and began to talk about her life in prison. She even picked up a business and economics course, so she could help her father with his business once she got out.

“That’s great! You’re a smart girl who gets everything done. I’m sure you’ll get do well when I hand you the business.”

James nodded. “Of course. We’re all waiting for you to reunite with us as well as hand you the business.”

Shermaine grinned happily. “Alright. So don’t worry about me!”

Once the couple left, Kayla’s face became pale. She clutched onto James tightly as they walked to the car. Then, she clutched her chest tightly as if she had difficulty breathing when they got into the car.

James was used to Kayla’s recurring condition over the years. She wasn’t physically ill; it was just a psychological issue.

He patted Kayla’s shoulder and signaled the driver to start driving.

Kayla did not speak for a long time until she had returned to her normal self.

“Is there really no other way, James? Although Shermaine wasn’t upset, I believed she must be suffering inside.”

James shook his head. “There’s nothing we can do for now. Right now, we can only wait.”

“Oh, my poor Shermaine! I guess it’ll only be the two of us again this year.”

James did not say anything but merely sighed.
