Who Chopped Down the Family Tree? ~
continued
He smiled down at her, his eyes flashing
- ignited with happiness. "It
might please you to know that we are not
related."
"What?" she probed, shocked
by his statement, as well as by his proclamation
of love.
"Feeling so passionately about you,
I too was consciously disturbed by the attraction.
So I did a bit of delving into our
family history. It started with the
mirror."
"The mirror?" Cora asked, not
wanting to get her hopes up just yet. Oh
how she hoped that Ruben was right!
"I look nothing like a Marshall.
Don't have the eyes, the nose, the
lips - nothing about me mirrored the family
traits. Next, I had a long chat with
my mother who proved to be quite tight-lipped
at the beginning of our conversation,"
he eased out, remembering the day of their
all-night chat. "But when I relayed
the intensity that I felt for you, she broke
quite easily."
"What did she tell you, Ruben?"
Cora coaxed a bit anxiously.
"Five years into my parent's marriage,
Father was set on a baby and when mother
visited the tropics during the last trimester
of her pregnancy, she lost the baby shortly
after arriving there."
"I-I don't understand, Ruben,"
Cora told him, still held tight in his warm
embrace.
"I was the result of a quick adoption,"
he told her, Cora shaking her head as she
found difficulty in digesting the information.
"In other words, we are quite
free to love as mother chopped down the
family tree."
"Is uncle aware-"
"Yes, and it nearly did him in when
I told him the truth," he reflected,
fond of his father and the close relationship
they shared.
"Oh Ruben, perhaps you shouldn't
have," Cora reflected, filled with
concern over her beloved uncle.
"But I had to," he assured,
his hand caressing the soft flesh of her
face now. "Otherwise, we wouldn't
have received his blessing on our marriage."
The warmth of his kiss couldn't come
fast enough for Cora's liking.....
