It was mother's day as the whole kingdom was bustling today. Everyone was giving gifts to their moms with joy and love. Well, almost everyone.
"Leena. Are you ok?"
Max asked his friend, confused but also worried. He was talking to Leena about his plans to spend the day with his mother. During the conversation, he noticed how she was staring down at the floor. Her brown eyes held some sadness to them. He was talking to her about his plans to spend with his mother.
"Hm? Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. So, um, anyway, that's sounds great, Max. Sounds like your mother will enjoy it a lot" Leena said, faking a smile on to hide how she really feels. On this day particularly.
Her friend wasn't convinced. As she leaned against the wall, Leena wish it could swallow and take her somewhere else to the next day. It wasn't Max she was upset with. It was just something more specific. Her face turned to the open window, seeing the kids giving mothers day gifts to their moms as they would smile and hug and kiss their children.
"Does this have to do with...not having your mother on mother's day?"
Her brown eyes turned back to him when he asked hesitantly. He knew how she didn't have a mom since she was a baby. How it was her dad, Higgabottom, and members of the resistance raising her during her childhood. He stared at her symphatically, hoping to not upset her further.
Leena sighed, looking down. Her tail swishing hastily to indicate how upset she was. Max noticed that. Glancing out the window, an idea came that might help her vent a little. "Hey, it's a nice day outside. Why don't we go take walk? It might help" he suggested to her, hoping it could be of some help to her.
She smiled at him softly. It was clear he was trying to cheer her up. So, she kindly accepted it, and the two went walking in the royal garden. Max thought it be best to be somewhere where it was just them. They stayed quiet for awhile since the king didn't want to further upset his girlfriend. He tried to find something to say but was afraid that if he used the wrong words, her mood would worsen.
Leena noticed how his mouth twitched to say something, and she found it rather amusing to see how hard he was trying not to upset her. At the same time, it was rather sweet how he trying to make her feel better. Maybe it was best for her to talk about it to him. She liked talking to him the most so maybe it would help her.
"Hey, Max"
He turned his brown eyes to her once she spoke. She hadn't spoken yet while entire walk so it was quiet. "I always hated mothers day. Mainly because I don't have my mom to celebrate it with. To surprise her with gifts or say I love you to her. And, in the resistance, the others kids would make fun about me for not having a mom on this day. And it's always would tick me off. It made me wonder why didn't I have my mother with me? Why did I do to deserve to being a child with no mom to love her, care for or at least tell me eat your vegetables. Sigh, this day especially makes me miss my mom more. And it shocks me because I don't know anything about her"
Leena took a deep breath to calm herself once she was done venting all of that out. Max stared at her symphatically, ears low as he felt sorry for her. While he had his adopted mother, he often wondered about his real mother. But since he had someone who acted as his mother, the thought didn't bug him that much.
They stopped walking and Leena realized that she had told all of this in anger and fustration to her boyfriend who had nothing to do with it. The lioness turned to him, smiling sheepishly. "Sorry. I shouldn't have gotten upset and told you all of that" she apologized, feeling bad that she may have ruined his mood on mother's day.
"Leena. I'm glad you told me this. It's no bother" he assured her, gently putting his hand on her shoulder. "Listen. You didn't do anything wrong that led you to not have a mother. But maybe you can think that your mom wouldn't want you to be upset. Especially on mother's day. Maybe she would like you to be happy and smiling. Think of today as remembering and loving her. I mean she is the reason you're here" he explained to her, his hands holding hers as his thumbs brushed across her knuckles to make her feel better.
"You mean you would like to see me happy and smiling" she told him, seeing that he wanted to cheer her up. Leena smiled warmly at him, glad to have him. He was right, though. While she didn't know much about her mom, she could guess that she didn't want her daughter to be honest, especially on this day.
"You know, I sometimes feel you and your dad are really different. Who knows, maybe you take more after you mom" he suggested to her, making her surprise. Leena actually remembered her dad always saying she was just like her mom when she was a cub. Maybe she was. The thought was actually pleasing to her.
Leena then noticed the sun going down, and she remembered something. "Hey, didn't you have plans with your mom? Like going to dinner with her?" She reminded him and his eyes widen shocked. He turned his head to the sky, realizing he lost track of time.
"Ah! It's already sundown! I'm suppose to meet with mother!" He panicked, starting to run to catch up. Leena laughed, finding that funny. She was about to turn around leave but then she heard his voice. "Leena! Would you like to come with me and my mom to dinner?" She turned around when Max asked her and it surprised her.
"I wouldn't want to ruin that. It's between you and your mom" she told him, finding it nice of him to involve her but didn't want to intrude. "It's not a problem. Besides, you and my mom are close. You practically like a daughter to her. Come on. Please" he pleaded with her, hoping she can come to experience what mothers day is like. Leena smiled at him, finding it hard to say no when he had that look on his face. "Well, ok" she said, making Max smile as he took her hand and ran to see his mom for dinner.
