Seeing Marga in so much pain, Stephen can't help but give her a pat on the back to console her, he did not know if she would accept it or not, but fortunately she did reject it either, so he hugged her tightly and whispered "I'm sorry....I'm so sorry...." the girl did not say anything and she did not move but just continued crying.
"I know you are upset Marga, and I'm really sorry sweetie that I made you that way. But knowing Stephen is here to look after you when I'm gone, I feel that I made the right decision. I want to thank you for making me experience what it is to become a mother and father at the same time. Can just you forgive me?" Fatima tried her best to stand so she can hug Marga, seeing her struggle, Marga rushed to her and hugged her.
"How can I stay mad at you sister? sob....then she helped Fatima to sit down and kneels in front of her, "I'm the one who should be sorry, I have not been thoughtful enough that I have not spend much time with you, I'm sorry that you have to worry about me, I'm sorry for being so hard headed, I'm sorry for everything and thank you for loving me with all your heart." she kissed Fatima's hand then places it in her heart as she continued sobbing.
Fatima gestured for Stephen to come over, as Stephen was now in the same position as Marga, she held both their hands on her own,"I just have one request from both of you" Fatima said in between sobs. "I want you to get married before I go, is that possible?" then she looked at both her nephew and Marga's faces with seriousness.
Both Marga and Stephen was startled by Fatima's sudden request " It's not that I don't trust Stephen and you will get married in the end, I just want you to have a family before I go Marga, and Stephen is the only person that I trust to take care of you." Fatima's words was full of concern and affection towards both.
"How can you think of me when you're already this ill Sister? We can take care of our business ourselves, now we need to take care of you first." Marga blurted out, remembering how she blamed Stephen earlier today and even gave him the ring back.
"That's true,... but this is my last wish for both of you, since I may not have long to see that happen, can you have the wedding for me so I can walk you down the aisle? or are you still not sure of Stephen?" Fatima now insistent and feeling guilty that they had to fight because of her, she can't even remeber the last time they fought, she wants to make sure that she did not cause Stephen trouble.
"Of course I'm sure, but is this really something that we need to do right now Sister?" Marga blurted out, she did not notice how Stephen's face softened when he heard her say that she is sure of him, suddenly the gloomy air was at ease because of this new topic, how can she tell her sister that she returned the ring to Stephen.
