Truly Sincere [Part 1]

I walked towards him and looked in the direction where Harry was looking, standing there sternly

"Mom! ...Dad" my mouth agape in surprise as Hoor was welcoming them at the door, I looked at Harry and he took a glance at me and again looked at them, my mother looked at me and opened her arms for me with tears in her eyes

"Jasmin..!" Her voice cracked, I looked at my father and he nodded slightly with a smile at me to come and hug my mother, I was frozen standing there. Harry held me by my shoulders as he practically walked me towards them, I looked at him and he smiled assuringly while walking.

"Jasmin! I missed you so much" my mother cupped my cheeks as her voice whimpered when she cried, I softly put my arms around her and let out some tears on her shoulder, as my father embraced us both in his arms

"Harry, how are you son?" My father patted shoulders strongly as he hugged him and I noticed Harry smiled brightly greeting him

"Come in" Harry welcomed them with his bright smile, I knew he wouldn't throw it away just because he was angry at me, and we had our first fight as husband and wife, talk about timing. Mom patted Harry's cheek motherly before taking the seat.

Everyone settled in the lounge as Hoor disappeared in the kitchen and I came to know that Anne and Gemma weren't home, I somehow took a breath of relief that they didn't have to witness our fight. Harry sat down with me on the sofa as my parents sat in front of us

"We were devastated hearing the news, about your baby" Dad spoke, his eyes were flushed red holding back his tears as he forced a smile at me, I simply looked at him, quietly

"How have you been?" Mom's voice was concerned but guilty, she was in guilt of not being here for me when I needed her and she knew that

"Do you care?" I looked at my hands fidgeting them awkwardly, I didn't look at her but I could tell how her face went realizing the truth

"Of course you must be furious with us, but we had our reasons, but we realize our mistakes now" Mom stayed in the character of a stern woman she always has been, that her words didn't actually affected me

"What reasons could possibly a parent can have, to not be a part of their life, and all of sudden you come back into my life" I blurted as my face was burning gathering all the guts to talk back, my heart was beating so loudly as I was still fidgeting crazily. I felt Harry's hand on mine and when I looked at him he was looking at me sternly. Differences aside he was still my partner that moment, he stayed truthful to the oath we made, together.

"You're right, we were being egoistic, that we couldn't see how happy you actually are" my father spoke before looking at my mother, my mother straightened her back staying in the character simply not wanting to believe those words

"We care about you Jasmin, we realize that Harry is such a good kid, he will make you happy" Mom smiled at us and I looked at Harry and he kissed the top of my hand before looking away, he was still mad at me, but he wouldn't let it go

"He is the perfect partner I could have asked for, he jokes like my best friend and protects me like a husband, I can't imagine a life without him" I looked at Harry and my vision got blurry with tears, Harry quietly looked at me with the pain in his eyes, pain that I caused

"You've raised such a perfect daughter, she doesn't know how the room lights up when she comes in, her positivity impacted my life, she makes me want to be perfect for her" Harry looked at my mother as his grip around my hands grew tightly, our fingers were intertwined together, habitual of each other

"I can't tell you how happy I am to see you both happy" my father soaked the corner of his eye with his thumb as he smiled at us brightly

"You two belong together" my mother couldn't hold her tears back and I realized that the straight facade is the part of her, and she was being truthful about her emotions that moment "can you forgive us, Jasmin?" She spoke in a low voice as she held back herself
