My assumption becomes right when my mom somehow finds my new contact number and sends me a text asking me to meet her in the nearby coffee shop. So I dress up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Bright asks.
"Mom texted me. I have to see her. She might be furious by now that I never met her even when I was here." I say while putting on the socks.
"Uhm. Don't lose your cool, and just speak your heart out. That works most of the time. I'll be at home with Livvy. Come back soon for some movies and ice cream." he says while ruffling my hair.
"Okay. Sure."
"Also ~ You'll be back soon, right?" he asks with a smile on his lips. Although I am so frustrated as I am supposed to meet my mom, his smile brings a smile to my lips as well.
"Yepp. Wait for me." I say with a kiss on his cheek.
So I leave home and walk into the cafe. She's already there, waiting for me. At least it doesn't make me the one to wait.
I sit in front of her without greeting. My mom has already ordered us drinks and snacks. I silently sip on the blackcurrant drink while waiting for her to speak.
"Gulf told me..." she says.
"I know."
There's again silence between us. She speaks after hesitating a little.
"You never left me a message about leaving. I came to your apartment several times only to know that you've gone to Cargo. I was confused about why you went there. I even contacted your father to find out if you left any messages with him. He said no." she explains.
"Why did you search for me after cutting ties with me?" I ask.
"I am your mom and-"
"You never contacted me for months." I point out.
"Yeah..."
"Did you know, as much as I hate your nagging behaviour, you are the only relative I have to call my own?" I ask. Bright asked me to speak by heart. Truth is, I still love this person who gave birth to me.
"What about your father? You always choose him over me." she reminds me.
"That's because... I dislike the fact that you hate me because I am his younger version." I mumble.
She looks at me, taken aback.
"Dad told me the last time I went there. I was surprised to know that he married you, not knowing that he was into guys. Once discovered and you were pregnant, he didn't want the child and stuff. He told me that he ruined everything for us. That's why you can't stand me." I say.
