Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" Let's go …" Steven said and gestured to Ruby to help her to get in his Limousine car whereas he helped Maria to get in the car. He noticed Maria's facial expressions and understood what was going on in her mother's heart. She sat quietly on the seat.

" Aunt Maria, the ambulance is bulletproof and we have full security. Don't worry .." he said, sitting beside her.

" As a mother, I can't get peace till I see Adrian safe again with us " she replied, looking at Kathie. Her words touched Kathie's heart and she felt guilty as she was the reason for Adrian's position.

While the car was moving, Kathie's eyes were on the ambulance which was following their car. 

" Kathie ...sleep until we reach the aviation ramp. You are looking weak, " Ruby said. She held her hand caressing her knuckles.

But Katherine nodded her head and looked at the ambulance following the car.

…..

Almost after forty minutes, they reached the ramp without any problem. As soon as the car stopped, she got down the car and waited to see Adrian to get down from the ambulance. Her eyes were thirsty to see her beloved ones safely. 

Just in time, Adrian got down the ambulance. Slowly she took steps with her weak legs to stay closer to her husband and her son. But Adrian didn't notice her as he was busy helping the security to bring the stretcher on which little Sam was lying.

She placed her palms on his back standing behind him. She wanted to feel him with her touch. Adrian sensed her touch. Without looking back at her, he said, " It's not good to stand for a long time" 

" But ...I want to get inside the jet along with you and Sam, " she replied in a low voice.

" I won't run away from here, leaving you here. Let me do my work, " he shouted at her. " Ad...I didn't mean it. I was just worried about you…" she explained to him.

" I can take care of myself. Better you think about your health. Don't disturb me..." he said harshly. She was hurt by his arrogant behaviour and turned towards Ruby and the others. While taking slow steps, she went towards the stairs of the jet plane.

She felt so hard to ascend the stairs as her body was weak. She held the rail of the stairway and entered the plane. Steven gestured to the staff to take Katherine and Ruby to the small bedroom to take some rest. The young woman escorted both to the bedroom which has a single small bed and a big leaning chair.

" Kathie….you take some rest. I will be back…" Ruby informed and came out to check Adrian and little Sam. As soon as Ruby left, Katherine started crying sitting on the leaning chair.

….

Once Ruby came out and noticed Adrian was instructing the guards to carry the stretcher inside the plane.

" Please ...take Sam in this direction…" Ruby informed the guards, pointing with her fingers towards Katherine's place. Adrian also followed them and instructed them to place Sam on the bed. All of a sudden, Katherine heard the door clicking sound. The glass from her hand slipped on the floor with fear. She ran towards the curtain and hid behind it. Her body started shivering and looked like a scared bunny standing behind it. 

Adrian searched for Kathie then he saw her feet behind the curtain. 

" Kathie … Sam is here. Come here " he said in a calm tone.

 Instantly Katherine peeped through the curtain and looked at Sam. Slowly she walked to the bed where Sam was lying. She sat beside him. While looking at her son with so much love, she caressed his hair.

" Kathie … I want you to sleep till we reach the place" he said, looking at her face. She nodded her head curtly and laid on her bed turning on the left side. She wanted him to stay with her for sometime but he stood up from the edge of the bed to leave the place.

" Please stay with us, " She pleaded to him. He turned his head towards her and replied, " I have an important matter to deal with Steven. Sleep, I will be back". She held his wrist and pleaded with her eyes.

" Kathie… sleep… we are in a safe place" he told her and released his hand from her grip and left the place. He went to his mother and sat beside her in silence.

" Is Kathie asleep? " Maria asked him, rubbing at the back of his hair.

" No…" he said, leaning his head on her shoulder. Maria sensed something was wrong with Adrian and questioned, " Is everything alright? "

He raised his eyes at his mother and immediately diverted when she looked into his eyes. " Share with me, if you can't handle it, " she said, patting his shoulder.

" I am feeling so helpless looking at Kathie. She was so scared of that bastard and started thinking she was the reason for all problems. Already she faced many problems in the past. I don't want to see her suffering anymore. I want to see the old Kathie, who is confident and smart but not weak and insecure, " he said, leaning on her shoulder.

" It depends upon you, my dear.. It's your responsibility as a husband to gain her confidence in herself. Go and stay with her. Make her realise that you will be there in every step in future " Maria said, stroking his hair.

" Thank you...mom…" he kissed her temple. 

" Go and stay with your wife…" she suggested.

Steven, who was listening to their conservation, felt so glad to see the mother and son's bonding. From his childhood, he was always brought up in Nanny's hands. He used to see his mother every night before going to sleep. He never heard lullaby and bed stories from his mother. But whenever his father was free, he used to play with him. All his childhood, he was with the maids and caretakers. 

….

He went inside and noticed Kathie who was speaking with Sam, holding his hands.

"I am sorry, my dear son. I am the reason for your condition. But don't be angry at your momma," 

" Because I Love you so much…." She sobbed.. The scene made his heart wrenched.
