"What do you mean you don't understand what is happening?" Lydia asked the doctor. "Do you think what happened makes any sense? I mean, she said she went to the restroom, and when she was coming back, she didn't remember anything else again. Does any of that make sense? Think about it, she's was born blind, and even her father had consulted many experts ophathalmologist, but they couldn't do anything to help because that was how she was born. Now, all of a sudden, not only can she see, but she can see very clearly, she's seeing perfectly. The only theory I can conclude on for now is that her getting her sight back is a miracle." The doctor said.
Lydia stood there, dumbfounded by the doctor's words. It's not that she isn't happy that tanya got her sight back, but the shock of her getting it back without any signs of notice was too much.
She thought about how much tanya had suffered just because she was born blind. Many had criticized her, saying she was a demon, since even her mother died while giving birth to her. Lydia knew tanya had suffered a lot during her childhood as she didn't even have any friends.
Lydia sighed in distress as she bid the doctor goodbye before going to check on tanya.
As she entered the room, she met tanya standing in front of the transparent glass window in front of her. It seemed like she was staring at the busy road that was below her room. She looked fascinated by the scenario that she failed to notice Lydia's presence. "Tanya, my dear." Lydia called out to her gently.
Tanya turned to look at Lydia, who had unshed tears glistening in her eyes. " Mum, the world is so beautiful. " tanya said in a low voice but loud enough for Lydia's hearing.
"Hmm, the world is beautiful. Would you like to go see the brach with me tomorrow?" Lydia asked as she moved closer to tanya while gently holding her shoulder.
"Of course, I would love to." Tanya said as she pulled Lydia's hand away from her shoulder. Lydia didn't mind because she expected tanya to do that. Honestly, she was just testing if tanya was the same old tanya. Everyone knew tanya didn't like to be touched. She is very is very sensitive about people who come close to her. The only person who is able to touch her without her getting mad is Lydia, but still, she can't tolerate Lydia touching her for more than five seconds. Lydia thought that tanya fear of being touched would have healed along with her sight, but she was wrong.
Lydia shrugged the thought off her mind as she smiled at tanya with warmth in her eyes. Words can't explain how much she loves tanya, even more than her daughter, luna. Even moses, Tanya's father, doesn't love tanya as much as Lydia does. Lydia could be said to be the person who loves tanya the most in the world.
**********************
The day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was the morning of another day. In the dining room, tanya sat right in front of luna, with Lydia sitting beside her.
Tanya felt a strange feeling of happiness and joy surging through her body. It felt like all her years of being blind were as if she was dead inside. Life felt meaningless to her, but there was nothing she could do. She herself felt she was useless. Now that her sight came back mysteriously, she felt as if she was the happiest woman on earth. The joy of seeing the sun, the cloth she wore, her loved ones face, and now even her food, was something she could kill to have.
She ate more than she normally eats, which made everyone surprised. "Sister, I see you ate a lot today. And trust me, I'm really happy for you. And, by the way, I heard you were going to the beach with mum. Can I tag along? Please, please, please, please." Luna asked with her lips pouted, making her look like a cute little puppy.
At first, tanya wanted to refuse, but thinking about Lydia, she nodded her head at luna, which made luna smile from ears to ears. Moses, Tanya's father, smiled genuinely for the first time in many years. Seeing how Tanya's appetite increased made him feel escatic. He loved his daughter, tanya a lot, but he knows tanya doesn't like him a lot. He understood that he wasn't there when she needed him, and she was always bullied by people when she was young, which made her isolate herself from people. He had always felt guilty, and, at the same time, he was also grateful that Lydia was there for tanya.
Soon after,the family of four finished eating their breakfast, moses went to work, then luna, Lydia, and tanya went for their trip.
The journey to the beach took three hours by car. As soon as the three got to the beach, Tanya's eye was wild open. She had only heard about the beach in the stories Lydia told her when she was a child. But now that she was seeing the beach, a wave of joy hit her. She ran towards the water and watched as the waves of the water rolled to the edge of the sea and also rolled back to the water.
She then dipped her leg inside the water and felt the cold water on her feet. Lydia watched her from afar and felt her heart turn soft.
Hours later, after playing at the beach for a long time, tanya, Lydia, and luna sat on the sand as they watched the sun setting. "The sun set is really beautiful." Tanya muttered to herself while Lydia just nodded her head in affirmation.
"Sister, do you want some cotton candy?"Luna asked. "What's cotton candy?" Tanya asked back.
Tanya had never had a normal childhood. She rarely ever goes out of the house because of her disability. Moses set her on a strict diet so she would stay fit and healthy, so she never had any junk food before.
Luna smiled and said," Wait, right here, sis, I'm gonna get some for you."
Then, Luna left to buy the cotton candy, leaving Lydia and Tanya. "Ummm, Tanya, I'm going to use the restroom. Can you stay here for a minute? Or wait just for thirty seconds, I'll be back soon." Lydia said.
"No problem, I'm not a kid. Besides, I'm no longer blind, so take your time in the restroom." Tanya said. Lydia then stood up, but after taking three steps forward, she turned around to look at tanya, and she found her admiring the setting sun in the sky.
*********************
"Mum, I still can't find tanya. Where the hell did she go? I've searched everywhere, including the restroom, but I still can't find her." Luna said to Lydia desperately.
"What do I do, I just left her here for a minute, and now, we can't find her. What do i do? Oh God, what do i do? If I had known, I wouldn't have left her alone." Lydia said with tears dropping on her face.
Luna looked her at mother crying and also felt her heart shattering." Don't worry, mum, we'll find her. I'm sure she's somewhere around." Luna said to her mother.
Lydia fell to the ground in pain as her tears kept falling on her face. As soon as she fell, she saw a shiny bracelet with a little diamond on the floor. She then picked it up to examine it closely. "Luna, this is Tanya's bracelet. She would never take off this bracelet. Could tanya have being....ki..."
*************
"Moses, moses, where are you?" Lydua asked as she ran frantically in the big living room.
"Lydia, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Moses asked as he climbed down the stairs hurriedly.
"Moses, tanya.. tanya, has been..." Lydia tried to speak, but she kept choking on her words.
"Calm down, Lydia, calm down, take a deep breath, and speak. What happened to tanya?" Although moses told Lydia to calm down, his breathing was already haggard when he heard Tanya's name.
"Moses, tanya has been kidnapped!!!!!!!" Lydia screamed on top of her voice.
Tanya opened her eyes slowly as the little Ray of sunlight peeped through the slightly opened window. She soon became alert of her surroundings. She remembered she was taking a walk at the beach when all of a sudden, someone covered her nose with a kerchief, which made her loose consciousness, and now, she ended up in a God-knows where place. As she was busy checking out her surroundings, she heard the sound of footsteps from distant. And from the sound of it, the owner of the footsteps was getting closer to her. Soon, she saw a person standing tall in front of her. His eyes looked down at her like a cat looking at its prey before devouring it. For the first time in her life, she felt extreme fear rushing through her body. The hairs in her back stood straight. As her eyes met with the man's eyes,She felt a cold chill pass through her spine. "Wow, my client didn't tell me you were this beautiful,if not, I would have brought you here earlier." The man said with his deep chi
Both moses and Lydia turned to look at tanya in shock. "Who said anything about losing the house? We were just talking about a game. Come on dear, don't think too much about it." Lydia said. "Do you take me for a fool? You expect me to believe that, will you tell me yourself or would you rather let me find out myself?" Tanya asked. Moses turned to look at Lydia, seemingly at lost at what to do. "Umm, tanya,it's really nothing. We were just talking about some irrelevant things."moses said. "And was I talking to you? Science has it that people who face their business tend to live longer." Tanya retorted. Moses was used to tanya shutting him up, but it still hurt him whenever tanya did it. Lydia knew she had to interfere, or else, the father and daughter duo would start fighting again. "Tanya dear, the thing is, well, ummm, w...." "Will you just spill it out and stop stammering." Tanya shouted as she got frustrated with Lydia's stammering. "Okay, I'll just summa
In a large spacious meeting room, all were seated with an anxious expression on their faces, excluding tanya, who had a calm look on her face. Her slender fair hand tapped on the glass table rhythmically as she waited for the so-called devil. She was running out of patience as she wondered what was keeping him late. "When did the idiot devil say he's going to be here?" As soon as tanya asked, the door opened, and a man dressed in a black tailored suit entered the room with his assistant following behind him, keeping at least five steps away from him. Alexander entered the room nonchalantly and sat at the head table. As soon as he sat, his eyes glanced at every single person who sat in the room. Soon, his deep voice sounded. "Who said the word devil?" He asked. Lydia and moses both felt their heart skip countless beats as they glanced at tanya. The other share holders also glanced at tanya pitifully as they all said the word 'RIP' in their hearts. "You all know I don'
Title: Destined with the devil Chapter:6 After what seemed like forever, Alexander finally let go of Tanya's lip. With a smirk in his face, he looked at the small cut he had made on her lip. Tanya felt a spurge of anger in her as she touched her lip only to see blood oozing out of the cut. Never in her life has she ever been treated like that. She felt like killing the stupid Alexander for doing that to her. "Hmm, little princess, you ate quite bold, and I like that. It's been a while since someone challenged me. But don't worry, I'll make sure you regret challenging me." Alexander said as the smirk still hung in his thin lips. Tanya felt so angry to the point that her little face turned red in anger. Just as she was about to do something that others knew she would regret, both moses and Lydia stood up from their seats and knelt on the cold floor, right in front of Alexander. "Master, please forgive my daughter. She's quite stubborn, but she's not always like this.
The whole room fell silent for a while as everyone was too shocked to speak. After more than thirty seconds of silence, tanya burst out laughing. Her head was thrown back, and her deep dimples made her look more gorgeous. She laughed hard to the point that a few drops of tears fell out of her eyes. Lydia, who saw tanya laughing like that, became furious. She knew tanya had always been stubborn but not to the point of her being foolish. The devil actually wants her, but here she is laughing. It seemed she didn't know the complexity of the matter. "If i may ask, why do you want tanya?" Lydia asked. "Do I need a reason to want her?" Alexander asked back. Just as Lydia was about to speak again, tanya spoke, "Do you really want me?" "Yes, I do. Any problem with that?" Alexander replied."No, I mean, you could have asked for maybe a share
Outside the four story building, a sleek rolls Royce black phantom car was packed right outside the entrance of the building. A josh then proceeded to open the back car for Alexander. Alexander entered the car while josh closed the car. Then, josh entered the car and sat on the driver seat. Tanya then opened the door of the car and sa on the co driver's. Soon, the car moved. If the outer part of the car is called luxurious, then the inner is called heavenly. The car is designed for the comfort of the people in it. Even the chair feels very soft and comfy. Tanya stared at the car for a long time till she heard Alexander talk. "What, you like the car so much to the point you started drooling?" Tanya heard his question and got angry. How dare he say she's drooling. She knew it was pointless arguing with the devil, and she was tired, so she ignored him. "Are you dumb? Didn't you hear me asking you a question?" Alexander said. But still, tanya ignored him agai
Alexander, who entered the room again to tell tanya that the bathroom was right behind the black curtain, was shocked when he got hit by the pillow hard. Tanya, who realised she had hit Alexander, also paused her hand in mid hair. The last time she cried was when she was three years old, but suddenly, she felt like crying out of frustration. Why did he have to come back inside at the wrong time? "Do you really have a death wish?" Alexander asked in a bone-chilling voice. "No, of course, I don't. It was a mistake caused by the slip of my hand." Tanya said as she chuckled awkwardly. "Do you realise this is the third time you are actually hitting me today? Do you really want to die?" Alexander asked as he walked towards Tanya, step by step, like a monster walking towards it prey menacingly before devouring it. Tanya also subconsciously took a step back, and the rhythm continued till Tanya's back hit the wall. Alexander then placed his hand on the wall be
“No, I'm not kidding you. I detest stealing, so if you wish to lose two of your fingers, try and steal me food behind my back.” Alexander said.“No, never, I won't steal your food.” Tanya said in a serious tone. Alexander just replied to her with a curt ‘hmm’ and turned around to leave when tanya stopped him. “Since, you aren't allowing me to eat without your permission, can i just take the bowl of fruits just for today?” Tanya asked in a pitifully voice.Alexander; “can't you be any more shameless?” Alexander stared at her pitifully face for seconds before nodding his and walking away. Staring at that face of hers keeps touching his heart. Tanya had a big smile on her face. It had been ages since she last felt vert happy before, and happy just because she was given a bowl of fruits. She remembered there was a time when she had varieties of fruits to eat and wouldn't even bother eating them just because she found the fruits non-appetizing, but now, who knew she would
