Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 40

‘believe me Alice, i love you. If i am a monster today, its because of the kind of love i have for you’ Gilbert said and before Alice could blink, he was on his knees and that was when Alice noticed the tears in his eyes.
‘Gilbert, what…..’

He grabbed her legs and she started hearing sobs from him. Mehn! This guy was crying? Like seriously.
‘Alice, please accept me. I swear i can make you happy more than any other man in this world would. I may not be as rich as Tony Brown but i know that……’
‘stop it Gilbert, stop it!’ Alice cut in angrily ‘what are you trying to say? That i dated Tony for his money? Huh?? Is that what you are trying to say?’
Gilbert raised his tear stained face. ‘i’m so sorry. I didnt mean it that way. I never said you dated him because of his money but hey, i love you more and if only you could give me just half of the love you have for him. I will make you the happiest woman on earth’
Alice hissed. Though she felt sorry for him but that was not the reason she was here. She came to end everything once and for all. Tell him, she doesnt love him and make him stay away. But on a second note. She remembered she had told him that a million times and that hasnt made him stay away.
‘Gilbert,’ she pushed him away and sat on a sofa ‘i will say this again. I dont love you. I. DONT. LOVE. YOU. I really dont want to say this again. Let me be. You will find a woman who would love you for who you are. You are not getting any younger Gilbert so stop chasing shadows. I beg of you please,’ she stood up ‘really. I came to shoot you. Yes i wanted to kill you so badly i stole my late father’s gun. I wanted to shoot you and shoot my self but your emotional display saved you’ she tucked the gun in her jeans ‘and saved me too’

She walked to the door, determined to leave but seeing Gilbert in that condition, she couldnt. She felt sorry for him and she kinda understood his plight. How it would pain her if someone she loves loves another. But she couldnt bring herself to love him. She was in love with Tony.

Tony and no one else.

She hoped he got the message when she told him he didnt love her. She wanted to hope his episode was over. She really hoped so. Now, more than ever she wanted to see Tony. Explain everything and make up with him.
She wanted to know that Gilbert was out of the way. So she could concentrate more on Maria. Though she knew Maria was going to be a hard nut to crack. But she was determined to try.
She realised the mistake she made two weeks when she broke up with Tony. She wanted to do it for him and his daughter. She thought it was an act of bravery and that God would reward her for saving a father and daughter relationship but now she knew she was wrong.

She couldnt fight for their love. She couldnt stand the war. She left him shattered and she knew it. She realised she was only thinking of herself, not thinking about how he would feel.
‘Gilbert,’ she called softly still standing at the door ‘i’m sorry if i’ve hurt you one way or the other but i dont love you. I hope you can understand that. We can be best of friends but no strains attached please. My heart belongs to Tony and him alone. Please try to understand’
‘ but his daughter doesnt like you. She hates you’ Gilbert said.

She wanted to ask him how he knew that but she just shrugged.
‘its doesnt matter because i love her as my daughter. I want nothing but to become a mother to her. Its okay if she doesnt like me. I cant force her. I cant force anyone to like me because if they ever like me, it wont be from the depth of their hearts. Unlike you Gilbert’ She turned and opened the door.

And then she froze. Maria was standing there and obviously listening to their conversation.
‘do you love my dad?’ Maria asked softly and for a moment Alice felt like she was going to accept her….. But she was wrong
