MY HEART WILL GO ON

I stood by the window of my bedroom watching the raindrops splash on the windowsill

as I sobbed uncontrollably. The rains were torrential with thunderstorms and lightning, and for a

moment, I wished I were dead. At that moment, I felt like I would be better off than in the state

that in which I found myself. If only the rains could wash away my regrets, I could trade

anything for that. My little cat ruffled her fur against my legs with the aim of cheering me up, but

my life had already crumbled with one big mistake that I made and had to bear for the rest of my

life. I would never forgive myself, at least not during my lifetime. My actions of that day did not

only place me in the line of grave danger but took the life of my precious little niece.

On this Friday, I picked Cassie up from school to spend the weekend together as we

always did over the previous years. Cassie was always welcome in my home and being the single

bachelor I was, I cherished her like my daughter and ensured that she had everything she wanted.

However, as we took supper that evening, I noticed she had something lingering in her mind.

Upon inquiry, she opened up and told me she had a date the next day with her high school

boyfriend and allowing her to would be the best thing ever since her mother would hear none of

it. I agreed on the condition that she would behave like a grown woman and even took her

shopping to purchase a beautiful outfit. I wanted the best for her, and by best, I mean I wanted

her to grow into this woman who was not afraid of expressing her feelings and intentions to her

parents.

On the evening of the date, she made one more request that intrigued me. She wanted me

to pick the perfect restaurant for her date. I had a place in mind, though it was not the best choice

considering the prevailing situation in that locale. It was a romantic spot in the heart of the

suburbs, with a view of the city. Although news abounded about gang violence in that locale, I

could not pass at the chance to flaunt my prowess of choice to my niece. I knew I had hit the

jackpot when upon dropping her at the restaurant, her eyes lit with adolescent bliss as she

conveyed her gratitude. Little did I know that that was the last time I would see that smile.

I drove back home, and as I waited for hours to roll by so that I could go back and pick

my angel, my sister called me to turn on my TV. News flashed by that the gangs of the suburbs

were engaging in a gunfight. Fearing for my niece's life, I drove off in a huff to pick her up, all

the while praying and hoping that the fight had ensued on another part of the locale. Just as I

approached the restaurant, I saw a young man wave me down frantically, with hand motions

suggesting that I should not proceed in the direction of the restaurant. I continued in defiance as I

was acting on pure adrenaline. However, I had hardly gone a few yards down the road when

something hit my car, and it overturned. Then darkness followed.

When I came to, my sister was looking down at me with the most murderous eyes I had

ever seen. She kept mumbling the words, "you killed my baby….you killed my baby". She had

to be whisked away when she threatened to turn violent. I followed up only to realize that my car

had been hit by the effects of a bomb that flattened the restaurant, killing everybody who was
