The min I smelt the chicken soup i felt my insides turn and I opened my eyes to the most kindest smile iv ever seen in my life. The way she was and the love she was looking at me with spoke of her being a naturer.
Her: Starving? She asked placing the tray on the bed besides me.
Her: Need help?
I nodded since speaking was to much trouble. She helped me into a sitting position and I felt some pain on my chest as she helped me get comfortable.
She got the tray in a small table and placed it on me and the spoon and some water and opened the little saver and the room smelt of garlic bread making my tummy rumble and tears to spring to my eyes.
Me: Thank you
Her: Eat up and relax okay? Would you like some company
Me: Company.
Her smile went brighter and wider as she mumbled she will be back.

I watched my mom wipe a tear.
Me: What wrong?
Mom: I just don't understand!
Me: what?
Mom: how can you he so evil to hurt such a fragile person? What got into your brother?
Me: You know he had his demons.
Mom: I know but to do this?
Me: Are we forgetting that we talking about the same person that murder they own father for sleeping with his girlfriend.
There was silence.
Me: as much as dad wanted to prove a point but did he have to sleep with her?
Mom picked up her food and left the room.

Her: Yes. Who doesn't know they own Queen.
She got up and broke my bread in small pieces making it easier to eat.
