And as for the twins, Mrs. Naomi Adelch will remain their legal guardian as they’re her late husband’s children. The gavvel struck, bang, bang, bang. The gallery exploded in cheers. Some wept, others shouted praises. Naomi fell to her knees, sobbing with relief. When she got back to the mansion, she walked straight to the twins room. The air felt heavy.
Her heart had been broken all her life. She had been betrayed by those she loved. She sat down quietly, lost in thoughts about how she had just escaped death. That was when one of the twins, Joseph, woke up. His hazel eyes stared at her, reminding her of the betrayal Femi had done to her and the pain their mother, Anita, had caused her.
Then suddenly, he stretched out his hands, his eyes calling her to carry him. But Naomi looked away. “I can’t do it. I can’t. It’s just too painful,” she whispered. Then she looked at him again, and pity gripped her heart. “Oh, God,” she said. Forgive me. I have allowed bitterness to blind my heart. Then she rushed and carried him in her arms.
You’re not Fei, nor your mother. You’re just an innocent child. I will not allow hatred to be planted in my heart against you children. I don’t have a child of my own, but God has made our paths cross, and I promise to raise you boys like my own children. One afternoon, 3 years after, as Naomi was driving home from picking the twins from school, she stopped in the middle of the street.
It was the same spot where she had first seen Anita and the twins. She paused, her eyes focused on that place where she once stood with them, watching the traffic go by. One of the twins sitting in the back seat tapped her. “Mom,” it was James’s voice. “What are you staring at?” he asked in his soft little voice.
Naomi smiled warmly, touching his cheeks. My boy, she said, this was the street that brought you wonderful boys to me, she said, tickling him. Then she drove off. Evil may succeed for a while, but truth will always win in the end. Be kind, but never let love make you blind to people’s true intentions.
