COLLATERAL CORA

43

Cora

It's been days since we brought East's mother home. She is responding to treatment and getting better as well.

Aunt Miriam was away when we brought East's mother here. I heard she has been calling and she also planned on paying us another visit.

I guess she wants to see their mother for herself. Maybe confront her for leaving her kids.

East's mother is a very beautiful woman. I see where East got his good looks from. She is very beautiful.

She is also very nice too. I wonder what made her leave her children at that very tender age.

Seth and Iris has forgiven her. But East is yet to do so.

He really hates her.

I promised Seth that I will convince him but it hasn't been an easy task.

East doesn't even want to talk about her, talk more of agreeing to forgive her.

He doesn't want to see her. Geez I don't ever want to be in her shoes.

I don't want East to hate me like that. It will kill me.

I will never leave my kids like she did. I will love them with all my heart. Even though it means begging for alms just to feed them.

I understand why East still feels hatred towards her. But he really has to forgive her.

She is still his mother.

I wish mine was still alive.

I wish she didn't die but left me and returned after so many years like East's mother did.

I will be so happy.

So happy to see her.

Well I will continue convincing him. Hopefully he will find a place in his heart to forgive her.

Right now, we have a big event to prepare for.

East's birthday!

Whoo!

He doesn't have an idea that we are preparing his birthday for him.

Iris, Lucia and I plans to surprise him.

Thankfully he is going out with the men today and won't be back till nightfall.

Lucia is working on the cake, Iris is working on the drinks and all, while me, I am going to work on the berry sauce.

His new favourite meal.

I plan to tell him how I feel today.

I am going to tell him that I love him.

And I will give him a present too.

A birthday present from my heart.

Tonight is going to be magical.

I love him so much. My heart flutters anything I am around him.
