"Love you too Muffin see you tomorrow ya?" he ask. Now it's my turn to reassure him I'll be there "Definite see you tomorrow".
After talking to Gabe there is no doubt in my mind about what I'm about to do. I wonder where's my dad? I haven't seen him all day. Now that I think about it I haven't seen any one since this morning. Not even Mark or Raul. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining it's just strange that's all. I check my father's room but there is no one in here maybe he is in his office. I walk into his office and to my surprise he isn't in here either. Where can he be? As I walk pass the living room the sound coming from the TV catches my attention. I didn't even know we were allow in the living room no one ever steps in there. I wonder who is watching TV? I walk in and to my surprise I find my father sitting on the sofa
"Papi?". I'm surprise to see him in here especially since I've been looking for him all over. He pauses the TV and looks back to me "Hey Princess," he gives me a force smile that kind of reminds me of the Joker's smile. "What are you doing in here?" I walk over to sit next to him on the couch. His eyes are red it looks like he hasn't gotten any sleep in days. "Watching some home made movie" he presses play. I didn't even know we had homemade movies.
"Thank you baby for giving me such a perfect little Princess" I hear my father's voice coming from the TV, it's funny how no matter how many years goes by his voice never changed. I turn towards the TV to see a woman rocking a baby in her arms. I can't see the woman's face because her long brown hair is covering her face. Something inside of me tells me that I don't need to see her face to know who she is. I feel my eyes burning with tears.
"Mommy loves you princess Jane" the woman dips her head to give baby Jane a kiss on the forehead. I try to get a better view of her face but her hair is draping around her face. Warm tears start falling uncontrollably down my face. Her voice draws me in like honey draws in bees. Before I even realize I'm kneeling down in front of the TV trying to catch a better glance of her. "Is that mom?" I choke out as I trace her image on the TV. This is the first time I hear her voice. It sounds so sweet like an angle singing a baby to sleep. Even tho I can't see her face I can tell she was beautiful.
