Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 30

Tony came down smiling as he approached Alice.

Giving her a peck on the cheek, he noticed she was pale and not happy. He had noticed that over the phone as well.
‘honey, whats wrong? You dont look happy to me’ he tried touching her shoulders but she gently pushed it away. He grimaced ‘really, whats wrong now? What did i do wrong?’
‘lets go inside’ Alice said coldly. Tony shrugged and they went inside.

Settling on the couch, Tony figured out that something was terribly wrong somewhere.
‘honey, will you tell me something? Whats…..’
‘what should i offer you?’ Alice asked.
‘nothing. Just tell me what i did wrong now’ Tony said.
‘you didnt do anything wrong Tony. I just wanted us to talk. Talk about alot of things. Our relationship, our upcoming wedding, our unborn baby, Maria. Alot’
Tony sighed.
‘there’s nothing to talk about babe. Maria leaves for the united states immediately……and our wedding holds’
Alice sniffed.
‘thats not what i mean Tony. Maria is your daughter, how long do you plan keeping her away?’
‘as long as…..as long as….as long as….i dont…i dont know’
Alice sat down close to him ‘you see? You are not even sure. Are you sure you really want Maria to leave? Are you sure you can chose me over your own daughter? Your own blood?’
Tony looked away.
‘you love Maria, dont you? You want the best for her and you dont want her out of your sight right? She might be naughty now, but she is still your daughter. Your only child’
‘where are you heading to?’ Tony asked.
Alice stood up and looked away ‘i…i….’
Tony stood up too and stood behind her, then gently caressed her shoulders ‘you are right.

Maria is my only daughter and i love her no matter what. No matter anything, she means the world to me. But yoy mean the world to me as well Alice. I love you, believe me i truly love you and i’m ready to do anything for you. I…..’
Alice turned around swiftly ‘even if it means sending away your own daughter?’
‘Alice……’
‘stop it!’ she moved away ‘i cant do this any longer. I cant. I quit’
‘what?!’
‘you heard me Tony, i quit. I cant stand this any longer. I dont want to be the reason father and daughter be at loggerheads with each other!’
‘what are you talking about?’
‘you dont understand? Well, i’m gonna spell it out; i-quit! Its-over-between-us-Tony’
‘what? Is this some kind of joke or something?’
‘well, does this look like a joke to you?’
‘what about…what about our unborn baby?’
‘i aborted it’
‘WHAT?!’
‘we need to forget about each other Tony. Deal with your daughter, will you? I just cant marry you Tony. I just cant. Not when your daughter doesnt want me, she doesnt like me. My life may be in danger!’

Tony laughed ‘oh please, dont make me laugh too much Alice. Maria isnt capable of anything, she cant hurt a fly!’
Alice walked to the door ‘i’m sorry but my mind is made up Tony. You just have to leave now and forget we ever shared anything in the past. Its a good thing i already aborted the baby. That way nothing will ever connect us together’
Tony opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. He was dumbfounded, was this the Alice he knew or something.
‘how could you? How could you abort…abort….’
‘just shut up, will you!’ Alice snapped ‘and leave. I dont want to ever see you again. And here is your car keys,’ she threw the keys to him ‘take your car and get out now!’
‘geez, Alice, what has come over you?’
‘you…..Tony, dont make this difficult for us anymore. I dont love you anymore. I’m not carrying your baby anymore and i dont want to marry you anymore.’
‘are you crazy or something?’
‘uh-oh, so now you want to insult me. You want to insult me now right? Its enough, now get out now!’
‘Alice, i………’
‘shut up and get out!!!’
‘Alice…..’
‘get out!!!’

Tony shook his head and walked out quietly.
Immediately, he shut the door behind him, Alice fell to the floor as the tears she had been trying to control fell from her eyes.
‘its not true,’ she said to herself ‘i love you with all my heart,’ she touched her stomach ‘i will never abort this baby, never!’
She crawled to the sofa and wept, wept profusely…..
