The Story Of Takeem

33

One week later

It's been a week since my big momma has passed and today is the day we lay her to rest. Right now me and keem are getting ready to send Bella to cookie and luscious before we went to the funeral home we just didn't want Bella at the funeral.

Hakeem: hey babe you ready

Tiana: yea just let me put my jacket on

Hakeem: ok I'll be downstairs

Tiana: k

After I finish getting ready I headed downstairs and went straight to cookie and luscious house

Cookie: hey guys

Hakeem: hey ma

Tiana: hey

Cookie: Tiana baby are you ok

Tiana: I'm fine

Hakeem: ma we need to go we don't want to be late

Tiana: yea...umm bye Bella (kissing her cheek)

Hakeem: bye baby girl ma I'll call you when were on way back

Cookie: ok (going in the house)

Hakeem pov

Hakeem: baby you ready

Tiana: not really

Hakeem: I know it's hard but you can talk to me

Tiana: look I don't want to talk I just want to lay my granny down to rest

Hakeem: ok

We made it to the funeral and I mean it was a beautiful service a lot of Tiana's family spoke about t grandmother now we are at the cemetery and Tiana is going to speak

Tiana: hi everyone I'm Tiana brown my grandmother first and only grandchild. I've lived with my grandmother for 18 years of my life I never knew that I can meet someone so sweet kind and so caring she was always there for me and loved me even when I caused her trouble every time I needed her the most she was always there.(crying) When I would sneak off and do stupid things she would say in Italian le cose folli che fai ovviamente non ci hai pensato the crazy things you do you obviously didn't think through I love my grandmother more than anything and hope that she sleeps very well I love you so much grandma and may God treat you well. I love you grandma (she walks over to keem)

Hakeem: you did so good

Tiana: thank you baby (crying)

Hakeem: you ready to go

Tiana: yea I'm ready

We head back home and went to sleep Tiana needs all the sleep she can get after all the tears today. The service was beautiful and the burial

Tiana pov

The service was so beautiful I didn't want to speak at the service so I decided to speak at the burial I tried to hold in my tears but I just couldn't do it anymore I needed to get out.

I couldn't imagine this but it came and it went I just want my grandma to know how much I love her and how much joy she bought to my life and I know her final wish was for me and my mom to reconnect but I think I'm going to need a little more time on that one at least until I have fully grieved my grandmas death. Cookie told me that she isn't going to stress me out with all this music business and I think she is right I don't need any of the stress right now I just need some way to calm down and breathe.

Tiana: Hakeem I'm going to take a walk

Hakeem: you want me to join you

Tiana: no thank you but call me when you ready to get Bella

Hakeem: ok

Tiana: love you

Hakeem: love you too

So I'm taking a walk outside looking at the beautiful sky and while I'm walking I bump into someone

Tiana: Darryl..what are you doing here

Darryl: I just came to get something from the store why are you here

Tiana: my boyfriend lives in this area

Darryl: oh boyfriend...um t there is something I've been meaning to tell you

Tiana: what is it

Darryl: I'm sorry for what I did to you and hope that you forgive and we can be friends

Tiana: look Darryl I do forgive you ok but friends I don't know I'm going to have to think about that and see if Hakeem is comfortable with that

Darryl: ok I get it

Tiana: no hard feelings

Darryl: of course not

Tiana: well I'm going to get back to my stroll you enjoy New York

Darryl: ok (staring at her as she walks)

I know it's short and I was supposed to be updating yesterday but I totally forgot I was writing this and I promise you about to have another chapter after this one.

At first I wasn't going to bring Darryl back up in the story but now I got so many drama Ideas flowing through my head it's not even funny but here is what he looks like. I hope you enjoyed.
