FiNAL STORY

                                          Love of An Orphan

         Aideen Vladimeer was a young child who grew up in an orphanage because of a terrible incident, which his parents passed.  This all occurred one morning when Sally, Aideen’s mother wanted to go shopping and Jimmy, Aideen’s father was going to go the jewelry store they both got into a car accident. They were in New York for their fourth anniversary vacation. His parent’s family members were not able to gain his custody because of health issues. So, he was held in New York City.

From that moment and on he had to live in an orphanage on Apple Street. This orphanage was known to be the best institution in New York and because his parents were considered of high class he stayed there. This institute was called Elmer Vlackin Orphanage, because when he turned 18 the institution was shut down because of economic problems. This building was made in 1400’s made of brick and formally structured. It had one big window in front with an angel painted on it.

Anyone person who passed by would think this building was a church.  It probably was meant to be used as a church. It looked so formal and beautiful compared to the other buildings on Apple Street.  Aideen liked living there, he had lots of friends and elderly nuns. He never had anyone bully him or make fun of him. He never really thought of his parents because he was really happy and full of love. It was not until he grew up and he kept dreaming of his parents.

These dreams would not come every night but he knew that it was his parents. He could feel his mother’s hand on his shoulders and his father’s look when he disobeyed the nuns. Aideen tried to look further and further into his background but was not able to get any information. His long wait paid off because when he turned the age of eighteen he found out everything he wanted to know. He found out his parents were wealthy and loved him very much. He thought to himself many things. Suddenly a nun walked in and told him, “What’s wrong dear?”

“ Nothing much.” He answered, “ I was thinking about my parents.”

“ Don’t mortify yourself with that, just remember to always have them in your heart and never forget them.” She responded.           

Since, Aideen had turned eighteen it was time for him to leave the orphanage. The nuns prepared him something special. They  had a go away party for him. He was prepared for the so called "real word", so he thought. Then he realized that the nuns had painted a different picture for him. They had said that life was all love, happiness and joy but was it really?  He learned the tough way. He had to degrade himself to live decently. But as the time went by he became a tall, well built, handsome young man. He was coming close to his 24th birthday and did not have a girlfriend, even though he was very attractive, no friends or family who he could spend it with.

 The only thing he had truly accomplished was working at Film Mark Productions  as the co-director of Glasnost Electronics. Aideen has an ex co-worker who he once in a while talks to named Marcuz Escobar. Marcuz use to work in Film Mark Productions but was fired for committing three acts of fraud. Marcuz is a short, chubby man with red-rosy cheeks. He is always playing pranks on people, and mostly lives off of other peoples money. He tries to take Aideen's money in any chance he has. One time the went to go eat at a fancy restaurant, Marcuz invited Aideen. When the tab came, Aideen said, "I'll wait for you in the car."

Aideen replied,"But I thought... okay."

Aideen was use to this treatment, he always let everyone step all over him. But, this was about to change. One day Marcuz did the same thing and Aideen refused to pay it was like something clicked in him and he took a 360 degrees view on everything. He became selfish, ignorant and rude. He was tired of all the maltreatment. Aideen was sure he would only look out for himself now. Until he met Emily Marie. Emily Marie works as a teacher assistant on Bran Street,  three streets down from where the orphanage he grew up in was. She is twenty-six years old and has no children. After meeting with her a couple of times he started to really like her. 

Aideen would by her flowers and have them sent to her work. Emily really did not like him because he was younger than him and her father always said that the man she marries has to be a not only Hispanic like her but have his head set. Unfortunately Aideen is not hispanic, he is French. Emily and Aideen were separated for 3 years because Emily went to go study in California. When she came back she came with her 15 month old son. Aideen was destroyed by this. He had waited three long years for her. He judge her and told her horrible things. All Emily did was cry, cry and cry. Emily told him, " One day you will find out the reason...."

" The reason for what?, the reason you broke my heart and you left with another man." He cried.

" While I sat and cried every night for you." He yelled harder.

You could see the pain that Emily felt when he yelled at her. Tear after tear. Her breathing was so intense, that she could barely speak. Her son looked at her and had no clue of her pain. Emily tried to explain but Aideen did not want to hear. He was so hurt he looked away. Question after question but no answers. It seemed as if Aideen was done yelling at her until he said one last thing that completely broke down Emily.

" I regret ever meeting you, go back to California and do what you know best...sleeping with men." ,He said.

"I can't believe I ever put my eyes on you!" Aideen hollered.

Emily never thought this would happen, she thought to herself ,"What happen to the Aideen I knew?" Emily went to his condo several times to try to explain to him what had happened. Aideen never answered the door. On February 5, he did. Which was a surprise to Emily, her son was now about to turn two in one week. Aideen let her in and told her to take a seat in a rudely manner. So she did. Emily started to explain she had been raped. Aideen was so surprised by her tragic inccident. Her begged her on his knees for forgiveness. 

Emily continued with her story and Aideen become more and more sorry. She said she could not forgive, because she was sure that he would accept her s she was , but he did not. Joseph, Emily's son walked and ran all around the living room while they talked. You could see Joseph's blonde curly hair shine when the reflection of the sun glared at his hair. Suddenly Joseph turned around and asked Emily, " Mommy is this daddy?".

"Uuummm, No Joseph, this is a friend of mine." She explained with tears in her eyes.

Aideen turned and answered," Yes, I am!"

Joseph ran to him with such joy. While he ran one of his blue dinosaur sandals fell off, but he paid no attention. Aideen felt such joy that he could not hold back his tears. Emily ran to him and said, "Thank you Aideen!".

"Emily I always loved you!", He cried to her.

Emily and Aideen married soon after and time went by and Joseph turned five, ten, twenty. Emily and Aideen were getting older. Now they were going to celebrate there fifty year anniversary. They were still the lovely and beautiful couple they were fifty-five years ago just with a few more wrinkles.
